Chapter 400 - 396: Using Dog’s Power as One’s Own
The land and mountains shook for quite a while, then Jiang Lin returned to peace once more, and everyone’s vision too was restored. The sight of the monster, now shattered under the foot of the titan, brought several strands of grief onto the faces of the many clans deeply connected to the Mi family.
Those with deep ties to the Tang Clan, however, were ignited with passion upon seeing the titan’s aggressive appearance, standing as though atop his war spoils, and Tang Luo, unscathed despite taking the attacks of three savage beasts with the rise and fall of an eagle.
“This is indeed the true number one Transcendent of Xiling!”
“Even the Fierce Realm’s killing move was ineffective against Master Luo. Who else in the Transcendent Realm could fight?!”
The name of Tang Luo echoed throughout Jiang Lin, but he himself wasn’t as optimistic. He coldly addressed the phalanx formed by the three savage beasts, “It’s quite pathetic of you, Mi Chu, to rely on beasts to save your life in a death-match!”
The titan’s voice, like a booming bell, drowned out all the cheering voices of Jiang Lin. This statement left the audience in an uproar.
Has Mi Chu, reduced to fragments, not died yet? The spectators in the heart of Jiang Lin searched around, and finally spotted him in the center of the three savage beasts, supported by Pei Tian Lu and Yan Ling Jing, completely naked. The once tall and mighty Master Chu was now like a deflated balloon, much smaller than he’d been at the beginning.
In response to the titan’s mockery, Mi Chu pushed away Pei Tian Lu and Yan Ling Jing. He cried out to the silver titan, “This is a death-match. Shouldn’t I use all means necessary? These three savage beasts are fierce beasts because I summoned their spirits. They too are part of my strength. What’s wrong with using them in a death-match?!”
The reason why the Beast Soul Blood lineage ranks third among the countless Earth Level Bloodlines is its certain exceptional qualities. Most importantly, all warriors who awaken the Beast Soul Blood lineage possess the ability to offer sacrifices to souls, meaning they can extract the souls of other sprit beasts to strengthen another spirit beast; every successful offering makes the spirit beast stronger, even breaking through the slow growth constraints of fierce beasts.
If not for the great consumption and low success rate of soul offerings, the Beast Soul Blood lineage would’ve been listed as a second-level Earth Level lineage. However, for prominent families like the Mi Clan, money can solve a lot of problems. This is why Mi Chu can control the three savage beasts with interconnected bloodlines; it’s also thanks to these three beasts that the Beast King rules Xiling with such prestige.
However, it does seem somewhat weak for a warrior to rely on fierce beasts in a life-and-death fight, especially when Mi Chu, nearly ten years older than Tang Luo, responds to a challenge from his junior with such words. The expressions of the surrounding spectators were indeed quite splendid.
“I’ve seen many people relying on others’ power, but relying on a dog’s power?” Tang Luo looked at the three savage beasts, ready to pounce, with clear disdain, “Ha, Master Chu.”
Mi Chu has always been known for his dominance in Xiling, earning him the nickname of “resolute Master Chu.” After today, though, he’ll likely be known as “Master Chu, who relies on dogs.” Even those members of the nobility who don’t practice martial arts understand the rules of martial arts very well. There’s no precedent of fierce beasts fighting on behalf of warriors in a death-match. Isn’t that absurd?
Following the titan’s thunderous words echoing in every direction, laughter filled the air throughout Jiang Lin, leaving many unable to hold back.
At this moment, even the sons of the Mi Clan in the phalanx couldn’t help but blush with shame. Some wished they could find a hole to crawl into; it was utterly humiliating.
Looking at their bizarre expressions in the center of Jiang Lin, Mi Chu knew very well how humiliating his words had been. But what could he do? As soon as the titan crushed the wolf’s mouth, he had no means to turn the tables. Was he supposed to just wait for death?
I am Master Chu of Xiling!
His gaze was full of murderous intent, and throwing on the clothes Yan Ling Jing had handed to him, he leapt onto the Frost Luan’s head. Facing the silver titan, he said, “Tang Luo, you’re strong, but you’re no match for me. Respect for your hard-earned achievements, I suggest you leave now. We can consider this death-match a draw.”
“Oh?” A smile formed at the corner of the titan’s mouth as he looked at the timid boy on the head of the Frost Luan and said, “Does the Master Chu, who relies on dogs, want to call it even with me? Are you dreaming?”
“Tang Luo!” Mi Chu’s face turned crimson in rage and humiliation. He shouted, “Master Chu has three savage beasts at his disposal. If you still refuse to see reason, I shall have no choice but to let you die here!”
“What give you this confidence, to dare behave so arrogantly in front of me with three barely conscious savage beasts?” Upon finishing his words, the silver titan immediately lunged at the Frost Luan. Every stride covered ten meters or more, shaking the ground and mountains, unstoppable.
No one expected Tang Luo to dare charge directly at the three savage beasts. Each beast has the strength to fight the strong of the Fierce Realm. Regardless of how brilliant Tang Luo’s natural talents, how could he possibly beat them? The spectators held their breath as the silver titan charged.
Confronted with Tang Luo’s stubbornness, Mi Chu’s eyes shone with icy contempt. He commanded the beasts with psionic control. The Red Moon Flame Tiger, wrapped in its fiery wings, lunged at the titan, while the Iron Wing Eagle soared high into the sky, waiting for an opportunity.
When the Red Moon Flame Tiger expanded its body to over seven meters, one leap propelled it dozens of meters as it opened its deadly claws towards the silver titan.
Against the charging Red Moon Flame Tiger, the silver titan reached out his two titanic arms and sturdily blocked the attack. The collision between his sturdy arms and the savage beast’s claws produced the sound of metal against metal.
The silver titan then grabbed the paw of the immobilized giant tiger. The sight of a Transcendent Realm warrior holding his ground against a savage beast had left everyone dumbfounded.
The harrowed giant tiger, seeing that its attack had been blocked by the titan, became even more ferocious. It opened its enormous mouth to bite at the titan.
“This is why monsters are defeated, because they don’t have brains!” Tang Luo smirked coldly, and then lowered his head once again to meet the incoming attack.
Despite the fact that this time he was ramming against a real savage beast, rather than the mere image of a wolf produced by a bloodline ability, no one was optimistic about Tang Luo’s chances. The bite force of a tiger was known to be extraordinary even among all the savage beasts.
Yet Tang Luo wouldn’t have rammed into the attack unless he was absolutely confident!
“Thump!!!”
Indeed, the savage beast held up against the iron head of the Undying Battle Body and merely ended up dazed. Tang Luo’s eyes flashed with surprise. As he looked at the dazed Red Moon Flame Tiger, he released its paws and inserted his hand into the beasts’ mouth, resembling an act of self-destruction.
The dazed and dazzled Red Moon Flame Tiger was just stunned, not entirely unconscious. Feeling something in its mouth, it clamped down immediately. Golden flames surged between its teeth, intending to prove it could bite off even the fifth-ranking Undying Battle Body.
If this were a beast that had evolved on its own, it might indeed have been able to bite off Tang Luo’s hand. But a beast spirit conjured up through soul offering… it was nothing in front of the Innate Yin-Yang Grinding Mill!
Tang Luo directly opened the Yin-Yang Grinding device in the giant tiger’s mouth. As if its soul had been captured, the giant tiger that had bitten the silver titan’s arm suddenly froze like it was paralyzed.
