Chapter 557 - The Tyranny Of A Large Family
In the Source Beast Continent, it was very common for weak people to be killed by those who were strong. And these children of rich families were born like this. They had long been above the others, they didn"t care about the lives of ordinary people. They even thought that ordinary people weren"t human. They could kill them if they wanted to. They didn"t feel anything at all.
These descendants of the big families wanted to kill Lugh directly so that he would not be an eyesore. However, their strength was pretty good now. They had all reached around level 20.
Now, each of them wanted to kill Lugh and show off in front of their companions. As for them joining hands to kill Lugh, these people would not do so. It was not that these people had such good morals, it was that they believed that each of them had reached level 20 or so, and that beast masters were already very strong. Moreover, they were all descendants of large families, and the battle strength of source beasts was originally higher. Now that they were going to fight a Lugh... He was only three levels higher than them. To defeat a source beast master who was three levels higher than them, wouldn"t it be a piece of cake to defeat him and let one of them take action? The others could just watch the show from the side.
In order to determine who was going to make a move, the people from the big families planned to use rock-paper-scissors to decide who was going to make a move. Then, they gathered together and used rock-paper-scissors to play rock-paper-scissors.
Obviously, they didn"t put Lugh in their eyes. Lugh just quietly watched these people act cool in his eyes. In his eyes, these people from the big families were just a bunch of kids who had never killed anyone before. They actually had never killed anyone before. This meant that their combat experience was usually very little. It must be these big families. Therefore, the people who usually fought were the rehearsals of the families. They knew that the people they rehea.r.s.ed were people like the future patriarch or elders.
Those who rehea.r.s.ed with these children of the big families naturally didn"t dare to provoke these children of the big families. After all, their mission was to accompany these big families to rehea.r.s.e on their own, in fact, most of them were just trying to curry favor with the descendants of the big families. Some of the 25 episodes or so source beast masters, in order to curry favor with these 20 episodes or so big families, the descendants would deliberately admit defeat.
They let their source beasts use a few moves. After a few light blows, they would make an opening for them to defeat. Then, these rich descendants would think that they were amazing with 10 points, that they could easily defeat a level 25 source beast master with their level 20 source beast, so now they thought very lightly of Lugh.
Finally, the children of the big families decided a winner through rock-paper-scissors. A young man named Duo Hong stood out. Although he was a young man, in fact, he was older than Lugh, who was only 16 years old. However, the person opposite him was already around 18 years old. Duo Hong, who was older than Lugh by more than two years, was a level 20 source beast master. Just like the other children of the big families, he relied on the acc.u.mulation of elixirs to form such a high level. Lugh"s level was determined by the system. Although he had his own functions, although Lugh had been raised to such a high level by the system, the level that the system gave him did not feel fake at all.
However, Duo Hong was a person who used the acc.u.mulation of medicinal pills to form a high level. Moreover, because these medicinal pills were not perfect level medicinal pills, there were still some impurities left in these medicinal pills. These miscellaneous matters could be eliminated if he trained diligently and fought continuously.
However, the trainers who had sparred with Duo Hong at home were the kind of people who saw that Duo Hong had a n.o.ble status. Then, after exchanging a few blows with Duo Hong, they admitted defeat. Then, Duo Hong was happy. This caused Duo Hong to think that he was unrivalled in the world and could be considered an extremely awesome person among the younger generation. However, Lugh had grown through several life-and-death battles.
From the start, this battle represented Duo Hong. If he was unlucky, he would definitely become famous. He had overestimated himself and completely underestimated Lugh. However, Duo Hong did not know about this situation at the moment.
He only knew that he was a very powerful person among the younger generation. With his status as a level 20 source beast master, Duo Hong could often defeat level 25 source beast master. He could even defeat a level 26 source beast master and 20 odd source beast masters. However, these source beast masters were just giving in to him. If these level 25 source beasts were really fighting seriously with Duo Hong, then Duo Hong wouldn"t be able to last more than a few moves before he would be defeated.
Duo Hong"s source beast name was Thunder Tiger. As a source beast with high potential levels, its potential levels were actually not considered low. It was about two levels lower than Big Mouth"s potential levels.
However, Duo Hong was currently lower ranked compared to Lugh. His potential level was also lower than Lugh, and his battle experience was even lower than Lugh. How could he possibly defeat Lugh? After Duo Hong fused with his source beast Thunder Tiger... He took out a large knife from his waist.
After Duo Hong fused with his Thunder Tiger source beast, he did not waste any time. Immediately, he attacked. Lugh looked at it and casually used the bone knife in his hand to block Duo Hong"s attack. When Duo Hong"s companions saw Duo Hong"s attack, they immediately found a spot and stood down to prevent the aftershocks of the battle between Lugh and Duo Hong from affecting them. Right now, they were all pointing at Lugh and Duo Hong"s battle. It was obvious that they were a.n.a.lyzing the strengths and weaknesses of Lugh and Duo Hong.
Right now, the few of them were starting to gamble. They were all guessing that Duo Hong would be able to defeat Lugh within a few minutes. After all, they were the ones who had seen Lugh attack. Although Lugh"s strength was not ordinary, in their eyes... Lugh"s strength was still far inferior to Duo Hong"s. He would definitely be defeated by Duo Hong.
Duo Hong could often defeat level 25 and level 26 source beast masters, while Lugh was only a level 23 source beast master. Obviously, he was not Duo Hong"s opponent. In order to guess that Duo Hong could defeat Lugh within a few minutes, everyone had placed a certain bet. Right now, they were all waiting for Duo Hong to be able to defeat Lugh within a few seconds.
Duo Hong held the large knife in his hand and continuously attacked Lugh. Although Lugh could easily defeat Duo Hong, in order to let this little friend Duo Hong experience greater pain, Lugh planned to play around with this Duo Hong... Right now, he was only defending and not attacking. Moreover, in order to cooperate with Duo Hong, Lugh seemed to be using all his strength to make Duo Hong feel that he was just that awesome.. With his own strength, he could beat Lugh until he had no ability to retaliate.
