Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 263 War Beast

Chapter 263: Chapter 263 War Beast

Contrary to what Ling Wu had imagined, Ling Chen and Ye Zhenzhen were fully clothed, sitting opposite each other.

It seemed that they had not done anything inappropriate.

Ling Chen frowned and asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Fortunately, removing the Nine-Star Seal from Ye Zhenzhen’s Divine Soul was not difficult.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of consequences it would have caused.

When it comes to the Divine Soul, even a tiny mistake could have horrific consequences.

He had also been somewhat careless, thinking that no one would barge in while in Yunqi Inn.

Unexpectedly, Ling Wu suddenly rushed in.

"Ah? Nothing!"

Ling Wu quickly shook her head.

She stuck out her tongue and darted out of the room.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Ling!"

"No need to be polite, this is what you deserve!"

said Ling Chen.

Before today’s competition, he had assigned Ye Zhenzhen a task.

As long as Ye Zhenzhen could single-handedly annihilate Tianluo Academy, he would release the control over her Divine Soul.

Just now, that was Ling Chen fulfilling his promise.

Ling Chen glanced at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "From now on, you’re free. From here forward, whatever you do is none of my business. If you want to leave True Martial Academy, I won’t stop you; just let the Palace Master know.

One final word of warning, don’t mess with me or those around me anymore. You can’t afford that kind of consequence!

Now, you can go."

"Yes, Young Master’s teaching, Zhenzhen will bear in mind."

Ye Zhenzhen trembled faintly, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes before leaving the room.

Ling Chen also left the room, heading to Ling Wu’s room.

"Xiao Wu, what’s going on with you?"

Ling Chen asked.

This was very abnormal, Ling Wu had never dared to barge into his room like this before.

"Nothing! I went to the wrong door!" Ling Wu replied in a low voice.

She couldn’t very well say she thought Ling Chen was up to something indescribable with Ye Zhenzhen and wanted to catch them in the act, could she?

"Really?"

Ling Chen looked doubtful.

He remembered that when Xiao Wu barged in, she seemed to have shouted something.

"Mhm."

Ling Wu hurriedly nodded.

"Alright, brother, I’m going to rest now, you should go back!"

Ling Wu ushered Ling Chen out of the room.

...

A quiet night passed.

The next morning, the second round of the Eight Palaces Martial Arts Tournament officially began.

"All team leaders, please come forward to draw lots!"

Xiao Yun’s figure appeared above the Star Luo River, announcing loudly.

This time, the drawing of lots would not be as random as the first; it was to be determined according to the current rankings.

To give consideration to academies with lower scores, the lowest-ranked would draw lots first.

The drawing of lots was soon completed.

"The results of the second round of the Eight Palaces Martial Arts Tournament are as follows:"

"First match, Heavenly Sound Academy versus Taiwu Academy."

"Second match, Tianluo Academy versus Xuantian Academy."

"Third match, Netherworld Academy versus True Martial Academy."

"Fourth match, Mighty Martial Academy versus Taiyi Academy."

Xiao Yun announced loudly.

"Interesting, our opponent is Netherworld Academy."

Ling Chen looked towards the captain of Netherworld Academy, his lips curving into a smile.

Soon, the eight team leaders reported the order of appearance for their members.

In the first match, Heavenly Sound Academy faced Taiwu Academy.

This time, Heavenly Sound Academy did not choose to surrender.

Each academy had only seven matches, and only the top two had any hope of contending for the championship.

Their Heavenly Sound Academy had already conceded once; they must maintain a perfect winning streak for the rest of the competition to qualify for the championship battle!

Of course, Taiwu Academy was no pushover either.

Both teams’ lineups were very conservative, virtually arranged according to strength, with the weaker competing first.

This match promised to get everyone’s blood pumping.

"Please welcome the third contestant from Heavenly Sound Academy, Zhou Tiantang!"

Xiao Yun’s voice echoed from the main observation platform.

"Whoosh!"

A blue streak shot out from the observation area of Heavenly Sound Academy, soaring into the sky above Xingluo River.

"Wang Pan, let this handsome guy take you on!"

Zhou Tiantang conjured Spiritual Power in his hand and ran it through his hair, speaking with flamboyant conceit.

The contestant from Taiwu Academy was their fourth contestant named Wang Pan, who also possessed a Wind Spirit Body.

However, his cultivation was a whole level higher than Zhou Tiantang’s!

He had reached the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, Third Layer!

"Haha! That fatty is so funny!"

"He calls himself ’handsome’ with that look?"

"Uh, he really has no shame!"

"Haha, I love the audacity of this shameless fatty!"

"But, is he really a match for Wang Pan? Didn’t the Heavenly Sound Academy contestant in the later stages of the Primordial Pill Realm Second Layer get defeated by Wang Pan?"

"Right? There’s practically no hope!"

...

The spectating Cultivators were all chattering away.

However, Wang Pan showed an unprecedented wariness, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Tiantang.

Clearly, he was aware that this young Chairman of the Zhou Tian Trading Company was not an easy opponent to deal with.

At this moment, Ling Chen’s gaze also landed on Zhou Tiantang.

He too was curious to see what this generous young Chairman was capable of!

"Xiao Bai!"

With a summoning gesture from Zhou Tiantang’s plump hand, a beam of pure white light dashed from a distance towards him.

When the light faded, a majestic snow-white tiger appeared in everyone’s view.

There Zhou Tiantang was, sitting on top of the snow-white tiger.

"A War Beast?"

Many exclaimed in surprise, their eyes revealing a variety of expressions.

To possess a War Beast, this young man had a remarkable background!

War Beasts, unlike the Beast Taming’s subjugated creatures, were not controlled in their Divine Souls; they grew up alongside their owners.

It’s these nurtured spirit beasts that are known as War Beasts and have the greatest potential.

They might even grow to become King Spiritual Beasts one day.

While beasts controlled by others generally lose their ability to grow, improving by only two or three tiers at most.

"What a majestic tiger!"

Gazing at the formidable snow-white tiger, Ling Chen’s eyes also lit up.

He could sense that this Heavenly Spiritual Beast should be a sixth-grade Heavenly Spiritual Beast!

At that moment, Xiao Yun announced the start of the match.

"Xiao Bai, bite him to death!"

Zhou Tiantang patted the huge head of the snow-white tiger.

"Understood, Young Master Zhou!"

The snow-white tiger spoke in human language.

As soon as it finished speaking, the tiger lunged at Wang Pan opposite to him like lightning!

"Hmph!"

Wang Pan let out a cold snort as Spiritual Power, rivaling that of the middle stage of the Primordial Pill Realm Fifth Layer, burst forth and he swiftly executed a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, dodging away into the distance.

His figure instantly appeared ten feet away, and a silver-long sword materialized in his hand.

"Slash!"

As he channeled Spiritual Power into the silver longsword, Wang Pan unleashed a low-grade offensive Heavenly Spirit Technique, transforming into a three-feet-long Sword Qi, bearing an unrivaled aura as it cleaved towards Zhou Tiantang.

"Roar!"

The snow-white tiger let out an angry roar, its claws flashing with a black glow, tearing apart the Sword Qi with a single strike and charging again towards Wang Pan.

"Such a powerful War Beast!"

Seeing the valiant snow-white tiger, Wang Pan’s expression grew tense.

His low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique couldn’t even breach this beast’s defenses?

"Wang Pan, just give up! My War Beast is a sixth-grade Heavenly Spiritual Beast!"

Seeing Wang Pan’s futile attack, Zhou Tiantang laughed smugly.
