I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 260: Chapter 238: Astounding Change

With a single stomp, a crack instantly formed on the arena floor beneath Yu Changsheng’s feet. Amidst the tremor, propelled by a massive burst of power, Yu Changsheng’s body shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

He was like a peerless, unsheathed sword. His hand clenched into a fist, covered by the Thousand Mountain Armor that shimmered with an earthen light and gave it a heavy, solid feel. An unending stream of immense power surged forth as he threw a punch, aiming for Tang Chen!

"Thousand Mountains Fist!"

A whistling sound filled the air as the wind itself was torn apart by the immense power of the fist. At the moment of impact, Tang Chen’s fingers suddenly snapped back. His expression changed drastically, cold sweat broke out on his brow, and he couldn’t stop a muffled groan from escaping his lips.

"CRACK! CRACK!"

Tang Chen gritted his teeth. Looking at his three broken fingers, he glanced up at the impassive Yu Changsheng. His arms trembled slightly as he retreated, a flicker of stunned disbelief in his eyes.

In this clash, he had been at a disadvantage—no, he was completely outmatched.

"Your Physical Strength... It’s not normal!"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Chen’s voice was grim as he unconsciously took another step back, separating the two of them.

’A Beast Master... with a body trained to this degree? A physical Foundation Establishment... Even among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Spirit Dragon Sect, that’s incredibly rare.’

’No wonder he could annihilate my Tang Family all by himself!’

A flicker of rage ignited in Tang Chen’s eyes.

"Your physical cultivation is impressive. I can’t afford to underestimate you."

Yu Changsheng’s expression was serene as he spoke calmly. He looked at Tang Chen, a flash of surprise in his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered a Cultivator of the same realm whose body was trained well enough that it didn’t simply burst apart after taking one of his punches.

’I have to admit, Tang Chen is something else. Even if his body hasn’t reached Foundation Establishment, he’s close.’

Their clash was brief, but their speed was so incredible that many in the audience couldn’t follow their movements. Only a select few, like Yang Chengxu, could keep up, his eyes narrowing in concentration.

’Such terrifying Physical Strength... He’s even stronger than Tang Chen, and that looked like it was just a casual punch.’

’If I were to fight him, I’d have to be careful. But for now, let’s just see if you can get past Tang Chen. He’s one of the best among the Spirit Dragon Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples.’

Yang Chengxu hadn’t lost faith in Tang Chen just because he was momentarily at a disadvantage.

Seeing he could gain no advantage in a physical fight, Tang Chen acted decisively. After retreating rapidly, he waved his hand, and three Spirit Beasts materialized on the stage.

"Gale-headed Wolf!"

"Dark Spirit Fear Claw Bear!"

"Cyan Flower Poison Scorpion!"

The moment the three Spirit Beasts appeared, a collective gasp arose from the crowd, their attention now completely rapt.

"Three Spirit Beasts, all at the strength of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and they’re all high-quality specimens! This Tang Chen is really someone to be reckoned with!"

"I can’t believe it’s already this intense right at the beginning. Let’s see how Yu Changsheng handles this!"

Below the stage, Li Minghan’s eyes narrowed and his fists clenched, a pang of nervousness striking him.

As for Zhang Tianwen, he simply turned his head to look at Yang Chengxu, who was across from him. Yang Chengxu gave him a faint smile, and Zhang Tianwen nodded in return, lost in thought.

"Not bad. To think the Tang Family’s strongest was here all along."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng didn’t dare be careless. With a wave of his hand, he summoned three Spirit Beasts from his Inner Realm.

"Red Refining Snake!"

"Colorful Star Deer!"

"Golden-Winged Eagle!"

In an instant, the situation on the stage became a balanced one-man, three-beast team versus another. The very air seemed to crackle with tension.

"They’ve both contracted three Spirit Beasts? That must be a huge strain on their Spiritual Power and Divine Sense!"

"It looks like they’ve both raised their Spirit Beasts exceptionally well. They’re both geniuses when it comes to Beast Taming!"

"Now we’ll see whose Spirit Beasts have better coordination and are stronger!"

"I’m still putting my money on Tang Chen. That Dark Spirit Fear Claw Bear is known as the overlord of the land among Tier Two beasts."

"Heh, but that Golden-Winged Eagle and Colorful Star Deer are extraordinary too. They have high-level bloodlines among Tier Three Demon Beasts!"

Below the stage, countless gazes shifted back and forth between the two, and a wave of discussion erupted.

While it wasn’t unheard of for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to form a Spirit Beast Contract with three beasts, most, considering the time and energy required, would choose to contract only two and focus on raising them well.

After all, contracting three Second-stage Spirit Beasts is a huge burden. Second-stage Spirit Beasts are leagues beyond First-rank Spirit Beasts, and the demands they place on a Beast Master’s Inner Realm are many times greater.

"This Tang Chen is truly one of the elites of my Spirit Dragon Sect. I didn’t expect your Wanxiang Sect to have another genius like Yu Changsheng in addition to Zhang Tianwen. To be able to raise a Red Refining Snake to Tier Two, and for it to look this strong... its potential is impressive."

"He must have swapped it out, or perhaps fused its bloodline with another snake-type Demon Beast. Interesting."

From the judges’ seats, Mu Yongxian looked down at Yu Changsheng, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

"And isn’t your Spirit Dragon Sect’s Tang Chen also something of a hidden master, keeping such a low profile?"

Mo Pengchen frowned, his expression tense, and replied coolly.

"Let’s just watch. Peak Master Mo can’t interfere in a match between juniors, now can he?"

Mu Yongxian chuckled softly, shaking his head, and turned his attention back to the match with a leisurely, carefree air.

Mo Pengchen was surprised. His frown deepened, and a faint sense of unease crept into his heart.

On the stage, as the three pairs of Spirit Beasts clashed, Yu Changsheng and Tang Chen were not idle either. In a flash, they had exchanged dozens of moves.

Pfft—

A spray of blood flew from his lips. Tang Chen wiped the trickle from the corner of his mouth, a glint of madness flashing in his blood-red eyes.

"Yu Changsheng, you slaughtered my family and wiped out my clan! The Tang Family was destroyed because of you! This is a blood feud that cannot be forgiven! Today, even if it means crippling my own Cultivation, I will cut you down to appease the spirits of my family in heaven!"
