Chapter 821A – Gathering Tokens
Starfall Archipelago.
When the participants entered the martial field for the finals, a high-level alliance conference was convened. Besides several Elders who were out managing the finals, almost every other senior leader in the alliance was here.
In the massive and magnificent Alliance Meeting Hall, a ring of stones was supported by giant stone pillars. Light fell through the gap in the center, illuminating the round platform in the middle of the hall.
All of the high-level alliance figures at this conference were bathed in light. Every subtle expression on their faces was clearly illuminated.
The one presiding over this meeting was the current president of the Alliance, a legendary existence amongst beast trainers – His Excellency Beech Daogasi
This was a formidable existence who possessed a variation bloodline. He had bright golden hair that burned like shimmering flames beneath the light.
“Everyone, the Alliance has convened an emergency meeting today to respond to recent internal disputes and opinions.
“I acknowledge that there are certain risks involved in the arrangements in the martial field set up for the finals. There is even a chance that outstanding beast trainers will be harmed. But, allow me to remind you that this is something we had no choice but to do.
“That one in the sea has already taken action. We cannot be sure whether they have done anything else. Even if we must pay a certain price, all dangers must be eliminated.”
Daogasi’s calm voice echoed through the meeting hall. It was gentle and solemn, yet contained an undeniable momentum.
After a long silence, an Alliance Elder said, “The finals have already begun. President, isn’t it too late to hold a meeting right now?”
Daogasi said, “Yes!”
He looked around and saw everyone’s expressions. “So convening this meeting was a decision made by me and several vice presidents. If anyone has any objections, you can initiate the impeachment process against us according to the Alliance rules. Regarding this matter and all consequences that might possibly occur, I, Beech Daogasi, as well as the several vice presidents, are willing to take on all responsibility!”
Three vice presidents stood up. “We are willing to take on all responsibility!”
…
Qin Yu won his first token. His opponent was the 39th ranked beast trainer. When this man saw Qin Yu, excitement lit up his face. It was clear he had memorized the ranking list ahead of time.
However, rank 39’s excitement lasted for less than three breaths of time before his eyes widened with shock and disbelief.
The two monster beasts this person summoned were slaughtered on the spot. When Qin Yu approached him, covered in the scent of blood and death, the man wasn’t even able to react before he was knocked unconscious.
When his participating token was taken away, the space around this rank 39 distorted and he vanished from sight, transmitted away.
What Qin Yu didn’t expect was that after he obtained this token, it crumbled into powder. Two bright dots appeared on his own token.
He looked at his token and put it away. Then, he glanced at the two monster beasts that he had just slain, a thoughtful look on his face.
He had tried but wasn’t able to summon the purpleback bluewing ants onto the martial field. In other words, these two monster beasts had been subdued by this rank 39 fellow after he had arrived here.
Qin Yu felt as if he had grasped the key to winning the finals.
Although he hadn’t been here for long, he had encountered a shocking number of monster beasts. There were even some monster beasts that he considered tyrannically strong.
If a formidable beast trainer was given enough time, then even if he was alone he could raise a potent monster beast army.
The spreading scent of blood in the air would soon attract hungry hunters. After Qin Yu mulled over the situation he suddenly moved and raced far away.
Qin Yu discovered that his rank 89 position had a certain temptation to it. He didn’t even need to look for the second, third, and fourth participating token; they all came to him on their own initiative.
But after he obtained the fourth token, something changed.
He looked down at his jade token that had five shining dots. He could feel a powerful aura coming from it, and a helpless look crossed his face.
As he thought, the finals wouldn’t be so easy to pass.
When he captured more tokens, his own token would begin to release a formidable aura. In the eyes of the other participants, it was no different from a torch in the darkness.
Once others sensed Qin Yu\'s approach, they would flee in a hurry, not even giving him a chance to do anything.
Moreover, considering things from another aspect, as someone captured more and more tokens, the aura of their own token would become increasingly strong, eventually turning them into a public target. After all, as long as people joined forces to eliminate this person, they could almost gather ten tokens in a single attempt.
As Qin Yu was frowning, his complexion suddenly changed. He looked up towards the front. He could sense a powerful aura there.
When Qin Yu sensed this other party, this other party clearly sensed him. After a brief pause, they soared over in his direction.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and rushed forward, welcoming this new opponent. The distance between them rapidly shrank.
Shua –
Qin Yu came to a stop atop the branch of an ancient tree. He looked forward without expression. Across from him, East Han looked back. When their eyes met, East Han’s eyes filled with surprise before he composed down.
East Han took a step forward and cupped his hands together. “Allow me to officially introduce myself. My name is East Han, and I come from the East lineage of Cang Province.”
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment. He said, “Qin Yu, Western Tomb Region’s Qin Family.”
East Han nodded. “Then we can be considered as knowing each other. Here, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Hongyi. She is a pure-hearted and innocent girl. If she offended you in any way before, I ask that you not haggle about it with her.”
Qin Yu was surprised. He immediately thought back to that fierce and spicy red-clothed girl and was a bit confused. Could this be called reconciliation?
“I never placed this matter in my heart. Mister East need not worry.”
East Han had a solemn expression. He was someone who rarely revealed any emotions, but he smiled a bit upon hearing Qin Yu’s response. It was clear that he cared for Su Hongyi.
But soon, Qin Yu was caught off guard again. East Han looked up, his eyes bright and piercing. He said, “Then, we can begin now.”
What kind of situation was this? Hadn’t they come to a mutual understanding?
Qin Yu was stunned for some time before he barely regained his composure. This brat East Han, he was likely worried that what he was about to do would be linked to Su Hongyi, thus the reason for his earlier words.
Even in this current situation, Qin Yu couldn’t figure out whether to laugh or to cry. Hey, how do you know if I was telling the truth?
But soon, Qin Yu revealed a dignified expression. He could feel a threat coming from East Han.
It was like invisible pins were poking into his skin, causing intermittent bouts of pain.
East Han took a step and rushed forward. At this time, from the ice mountain he was before, he seemed to have transformed into an erupting volcano.
A wild aura broke free from his body and the air fiercely twisted. One could faintly hear the roaring of loud beasts.
A two-horned beast that stood on four limbs appeared above East Han’s head. As he punched, this beast phantom fused into his fist.
Qin Yu’s eyes were earnest. Without dodging, he took a step forward. Facing the violent aura that blew against his face, he made his way forward like a flood dragon swimming against the currents.
Bang –
There was a heaven-shaking explosion as a horrifying impact erupted. The flat lands around them were lifted upwards and wherever the shockwaves passed; everything was ruined and destroyed.
The ground split open. Soil and stones mixed together and were crushed into dust.
The tree that Qin Yu stood on was torn apart. Then a second, a third…it was like a meteor had crashed down from the heavens, and the aftermath of destruction spread out with the two at the center.
Qin Yu was pushed back several steps, each step causing the earth to quake as his body unloaded the impact.
Across from him, East Han fell to the ground and was sent careening backwards. He formed a straight gully through the earth where he passed.
In their first collision, from the surface it appeared that both sides were evenly matched.
East Han’s eyes brightened. Without pause, the moment he recovered he hurtled forward like a tiger descending a mountain.
Hou –
Between the heavens and earth, the roars of great beasts erupted once again. Another beast phantom slowly appeared behind East Han. Who would have expected that the emotionless and cold East Han actually cultivated such a brutal and barbaric cultivation method!
As the two fought, the erupting aura swept out. Like a hurricane on the sea, even if one were far away they could still clearly feel it.
…
A blue-clothed cultivator glanced at the rune condensed in his palm and then thrust it into the monster beast in front of him. A look of joy crossed his face.
Success!
In order to subdue this monster beast he had wasted a great deal of time. Nearly all the monster beasts he controlled before were killed in the process, but as long as he subdued this one it would all be worth it.
“Now is the time for me to reveal my true strength…there will surely be a space for me in the qualifications to enter the mystic realm!”
The blue-clothed cultivator mumbled to himself as he received the monster beast. As he was about to leave, his complexion changed. He looked up towards the distant mountains. Even if there was a mountain range separating them, he could still feel the terrifying auras coming from beyond.
There were powerhouses fighting!
The blue-clothed cultivator’s eyes brightened. If there weren’t sufficient benefits, powerhouses of this level absolutely would not come into conflict with each other.
This fight likely involved numerous participating tokens. As long as he could defeat them he could easily gather ten.
If this was before then the blue-clothed cultivator might not have dared to join in on the fun. But now that he subdued this monster beast, his confidence had risen drastically.
After hesitating for a moment, the blue-clothed cultivator’s figure flickered. He soared into the distant mountain range.
