Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the s.p.a.cious and quiet room, every part of the room was already dyed red with blood. Crimson blood stains were all over the place. They weren’t dry yet and were very fresh.
One by one, the corpses fell to the ground. There seemed to be despair on their faces, reflecting the pain they had when they were alive. It was a scene from h.e.l.l.
Among the corpses, w.a.n.g Zhong’s upper body was bare. His entire body was stained with blood. He stood there like a devil that had crawled out of the Abyss.
He was standing in a place at this moment. He was holding a girl’s neck with one hand. His face revealed a look of madness and intoxication.
“More… blood…”
With a cracking sound, a clear sound was heard.
In w.a.n.g Zhong’s hand, the girl’s expression of fear and despair instantly froze. Her neck was directly snapped, and her head drooped down weakly, giving off a particularly frightening feeling.
On top of her corpse, w.a.n.g Zhong let out a burst of maniacal laughter as if he was a killing devil.
With a plop sound, it attracted his attention. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously turned around and happened to see the middle-aged man who had pushed open the door in front of him.
His face was filled with terror, and at this moment, he sat down on the ground, looking at him with an exceptionally terrifying expression.
It was as though his actions just now had even frightened the other party, and he could not help but sit down on the ground.
Looking at the middle-aged man’s appearance, w.a.n.g Zhong slowly raised his head, and his pair of scarlet eyes looked forward. He could not help but stick out his tongue and lick the blood at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he walked forward, one step by another. Just like that, the distance between the two became closer and closer.
w.a.n.g Zhong’s expression became even more crazed. He wanted to attack directly. But in the end, he still stopped. A figure blocked in front of him.
The old man stood alone in front of the middle-aged man. He looked at w.a.n.g Zhong, who was as terrifying as a murderous ghost. His expression was somewhat ugly. His eyes were filled with anger. “Stop right now!”
“How long do you want to go crazy?”
He looked at w.a.n.g Zhong and let out an angry rebuke. As soon as he said those cold words, w.a.n.g Zhong stopped.
He looked at the old man in front of him, and the crazy killing intent in his eyes gradually disappeared. He seemed to have regained some rationality. At this moment, he looked at the old man in front of him and slowly lowered his head. “Grandfather…”
“You still know that I’m your grandfather…”
Looking at w.a.n.g Zhong in front of him, the old man could not help but sneer. “Turn around and see what you’ve done.”
He pointed behind w.a.n.g Zhong.
There were corpses lying on the ground one after another. Those who were dismembered and those with their necks broken looked particularly miserable.
And the instigator of all this was w.a.n.g Zhong in front of him.
Being criticized by the old man in such a cold tone, w.a.n.g Zhong lowered his head even more. “I’m sorry…
“It’s me… I didn’t control myself well…”
“It’s good that you know.”
The old man’s tone was cold as he continued, “Stop right now!”
“If you let me find out the next time, you won’t have the position of the heir of the w.a.n.g family anymore!”
“Go wash yourself up!”
A huge amount of telekinetic power burst out, bringing with it a terrifying power. Like a needle, it directly charged towards w.a.n.g Zhong and sent him flying.
After that, the old man didn’t even look at w.a.n.g Zhong. He directly turned around and left the room as if he didn’t want to stay in such a place any longer.
Behind him, w.a.n.g Zhong silently stood up and then raised his head with great difficulty. His eyes were fixed on the old man’s back. There was incomparably cold killing intent in his eyes, but it did not happen.
After that, it was as if he had returned to normal. He coldly glanced at the middle-aged man by the side before turning around and leaving. He walked to the bathroom at the side and went to wash up.
…
When w.a.n.g Zhong was wantonly slaughtering in the ward, Chen Heng raised his head as if he had sensed something. A cold smile appeared on his face.
“Has it started…”
Through the slaughter divinity that was divided out, he could feel the changes in w.a.n.g Zhong’s body in the distance. In his senses, the slaughter divinity was boiling just now. Waves of slaughter power surged into Chen Heng’s body from a distance. Obviously, w.a.n.g Zhong’s side was making a move.
“Make your move, kill…”
Standing where he was, Chen Heng’s expression was calm. Many cold thoughts flashed through his mind. “After tasting this sweetness, I’m sure you won’t be able to stop after this.”
“Go kill.”
“The more you kill, the faster this fruit will ripen. The more I can harvest…”
The slaughter divinity in w.a.n.g Zhong’s body was divided by Chen Heng, so it was still a part of Chen Heng in essence.
Therefore, when w.a.n.g Zhong started killing outside, some of the slaughter power produced by the slaughter divinity in his body would still flow into Chen Heng’s body.
The ratio was about 50-50. From this perspective, w.a.n.g Zhong was working for Chen Heng. The more he killed, the more help he would give Chen Heng. And when the slaughter power reached its peak, it would be time for Chen Heng to harvest.
The next half a month pa.s.sed once again. During this process, Chen Heng partic.i.p.ated in two more matches. In these two matches, he had easily defeated his opponent.
However, from Chen Heng’s feeling, the remaining contestants were not weak after the compet.i.tion had reached such a level. It could even be said that they were all strong.
At this rate, Chen Heng could feel that most of the opponents in the future were all after Level Three. However, it didn’t matter.
At this compet.i.tion stage, Chen Heng had already reached his goal.
After all, he wanted to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion to gain fame. As long as he performed well and gained fame, people would be willing to invest in him. With these things, wealth, power, and other things would not be lacking.
This way, Chen Heng would obtain what he wanted and advance at the fastest speed to increase his strength.
And at this point, his talent and strength had already been displayed through the previous compet.i.tion. At this point, even if he lost later, it wouldn’t matter. He had everything he needed. Of course, even so, Chen Heng didn’t want to lose so quickly if he could.
After all, in this place, he could obtain a lot of things in every match. Every time he won a match, he would receive a reward from the Black Dream Group and one from the Qika Federation.
This was a double reward, double happiness. After all, earning money was not shabby.
However, Chen Heng did not expect that he did not have many thoughts about the following matches, but someone did.
“The Young Master of the Liu Family?”
In the quiet and s.p.a.cious room, Chen Heng stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside. At this moment, he could not help but feel a little surprised. “Why did he come to visit me?”
“It should be because of the upcoming matches.”
On the sofa at the side, Liu Rou was quietly sitting upright. At this moment, after listening to Chen Heng’s words and thinking for a moment, she said this.
“That’s strange.”
Chen Heng smiled and then casually said, “Regarding the compet.i.tion, why didn’t he seize the time to train and work hard to improve himself? Why did he come to see me?”
“Most likely, he wants to discuss something with you.”
Liu Rou smiled and thought for a moment before continuing her report to Chen Heng on what she knew, “As far as I know, this Young Master of the Liu family has the same status as w.a.n.g Zhong in the w.a.n.g family. He is also the future successor of the Liu family.
“But he is different from w.a.n.g Zhong…”
She thought for a moment and considered her words. Then, she said, “Although w.a.n.g Zhong is the successor of the w.a.n.g family, his status is very stable. Moreover, he has not accepted the affairs of the family so quickly.
“But this Young Master Liu is different.
“According to what we know, the internal situation of the Liu family behind Young Master Liu seems to be very complicated, and the position of the heir seems to be not stable.
“So, he urgently needs a victory to help him stabilize his position.”
“Speak.”
Chen Heng’s expression was calm, but he said softly, “What does he want?”
“According to his request, he wants you to fight with one of his older brothers, another strong compet.i.tor of the Liu family. After defeating him, he wants you to lose to him deliberately.”
“You wish.”
Chen Heng could not help but laugh. “First, you defeated someone who was a threat to him, and then you deliberately lost to him. Not only did you defeat your opponent, but you also built up your prestige.
“That’s a good idea.”
“Indeed so.”
Liu Rou nodded. At this moment, a smile appeared on her face. “However, he also gave a lot of things.”
“Oh?”
Chen Heng was a little surprised. He turned around and looked at Liu Rou. Under Chen Heng’s gaze, Liu Rou slowly raised three fingers.
“Three evolution stones.”
With a smile on her face, she opened her mouth and said, “According to Young Master Liu, as long as you are willing to help him, you can immediately receive three evolution stones.”
“Three?”
Chen Heng could not help but pause.
Evolution stones were considered a kind of treasure in this world. Not only were they very useful to Imperial Beasts, but they were also extremely precious to humans who did not have extraordinary bloodlines.
According to the information that Chen Heng had obtained from the Black Dream Group, this kind of thing could greatly increase telekinesis and even permanently increase the apt.i.tude of telekinesis.
It could be said to be a very precious thing, even for Chen Heng.
This reward wouldn’t be inappropriate for three evolutionary stones, even for the final round.
From the start till now, Chen Heng has obtained quite many things. However, until now, including the rewards given by the Black Dream Group and the rewards from the Qika Federation, there were only three evolutionary fossils.
Now, as long as he cooperated with others and played a fake match, he would have everything.
“How are the abilities of the Young Master of the Liu family and his elder brother?”
Standing where he was, Chen Heng was silent for a moment, then continued to ask.
“They’re both Level Three Beastmasters. Their abilities are pretty good.”
Liu Rou looked at Chen Heng in front of her, and thought for a moment, then said, “But for you, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
She knew Chen Heng’s strength better than most people.
After all, to understand Chen Heng’s strength in every way possible, she had watched Chen Heng’s training from the sideline many times, so she naturally knew better.
Therefore, she knew very well that with Chen Heng’s strength, even if they were both Level Three Beastmasters, they might not be his match.
The vast majority of Level Three Beastmasters should not match Chen Heng. Like w.a.n.g Zhong before, only a few people possessed that kind of unique battle technique. It was impossible to meet them often.
“Level Three?”
Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded. “It’s not too much of a problem.”
If it was only Level Three, he could still deal with it with his strength. There wouldn’t be too much of a problem. It had been like this before, not to mention now.
The Formless Force he had inherited from the stone tablets could ignore the defense of telekinesis. Thus, he could easily damage the other Beastmasters.
With this ability, coupled with Chen Heng’s solid strength, even if they were both Level Three Beastmasters, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for him.
The problem wasn’t big, and it could be solved.
“What’s your opinion?”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Liu Rou in front of him, asking.
“My suggestion?”
Liu Rou pondered for a moment, then answered. “If it’s possible, it’s best to agree.
“The Liu family is not a small force. Although they are slightly weaker than the w.a.n.g family, they are still powerful.
“If you can be on good terms with their future family head, it will be good for your future.
“Moreover, the price he offered is not low.”
She sat on the sofa and looked at Chen Heng. “Things like evolution stones are often priceless. Even if you have money, you can’t buy them without enough connections.
“The few evolution stones I previously applied for you had already used up the quota during this period using the group’s connections.
“After that, even if you wanted to apply for one, you couldn’t. You could only apply for something else.
“Your Imperial Beast is only an ordinary Dragon Bird. To catch up to those top-tier Imperial Beasts, you need many evolution stones to nurture.
“Now that there’s an opportunity, of course, it shouldn’t be pa.s.sed down.”
She thought for a long time before saying, “It looks like that Young Master Liu probably knows about your situation, and that’s why he specially made such a price.”
“I see.”
Hearing Liu Rou’s words, Chen Heng nodded in agreement.
Contrary to what Liu Rou thought, Chen Heng didn’t pay much attention to the effect of evolution stones on Imperial Beasts.
However, what she said made sense.
A precious secret treasure like this could promote the evolution of one’s bloodline and even improve one’s talent. The more, the better.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, this couldn’t be bought even if one wanted to. Now that there was a chance to get three pieces directly, it was better not to miss it.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng had a preference.
“Help me get some information from Young Master Liu.”
Then, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Liu Rou in front of him. He said with a smile, “Also, ask him for me.
“If I can help him and directly cripple his brother in the compet.i.tion…
“Can we still talk about the conditions?”
Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Liu Rou was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly reacted and revealed a knowing smile on her face.
“I understand.”
A knowing expression appeared on her face. Then, she quietly stood up and said, “I will go over and fight for the best conditions for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw a flirtatious glance at Chen Heng, then turned around and left.
After she left, Chen Heng was the only one left. Standing alone in front of the windowsill, Chen Heng watched the changes in the scenery outside. He watched the waves rise up and hit the sh.o.r.e.
Along with this process, his mood slowly calmed down and gradually became calm.
Time slowly pa.s.sed. A few days later, Liu Rou came to visit him again.
This time, besides Chen Heng’s information, she also brought the latest conditions.
“It’s been settled…”
Liu Rou put down the information she had obtained and looked at Chen Heng in front of her. Then, she said casually, “The information about his brother, including his battle skills and strength, are all here.
“As for the conditions, according to Young Master Liu, if it’s possible, if we don’t kill him directly, then it doesn’t matter how hard we hit him.
“It’s best just to cripple him directly.”
She smiled and said, “Come to think of it, this family doesn’t look like brothers at all.”
Chen Heng didn’t reply. He directly stretched out his hand and picked up a doc.u.ment at the side to look at.
There was a comprehensive introduction of Young Master Liu’s elder brother in that doc.u.ment.
Young Master Liu’s elder brother was called Liu Sheng. He looked like a young man with a resolute, delicate face and a rather spirited look from the photo. At a glance, he looked like a decent person.
As for the information recorded, it was very detailed. The information consisted of Liu Sheng’s details from the beginning of primary school until now.
The level of detail made Chen Heng somewhat admire himself. According to the level of detail in this information, he had probably already investigated the other party thoroughly.
That Young Master Liu was afraid of his elder brother. Chen Heng was somewhat amused as this thought silently flashed through his mind.
Not long after, he finished reading the information in front of him, turned around, and left this place.
A few days later, Chen Heng obtained the details. His opponent for the next battle had already been confirmed.
It was none other than Young Master Liu’s elder brother, Liu Sheng.
Needless to say, even if Chen Heng didn’t think about it, he knew that it was the result of the other party working together with Liu Rou that allowed Chen Heng and Liu Sheng to meet in the next battle.
As for that Young Master Liu, if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably meet him in the next battle.. Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn’t help but look forward to it.
