I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 288: Chapter 252: Visitors from the Purple Rainbow Sect

"Take this elixir. You did very well. You haven’t shamed our Wanxiang Sect."

Mo Pengchen smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, a Soft Force supported Yu Changsheng’s body. The elixir he flicked over was also a Life-Returning Pill.

In this battle, Yu Changsheng’s physical condition was hardly any better than Yang Chengxu’s. As the Life-Returning Pill began to take effect, the pain he had forcibly suppressed erupted all at once.

His depleted Cultivation began to recover, his withered qi and blood surged once more, and the stabbing pain in his Divine Sense subsided. Once his tense mind relaxed and his worries were gone, Yu Changsheng’s eyes rolled back, and he finally passed out completely.

He had been holding on through this entire battle by sheer force of will.

"He won... He actually won?"

Below the stage, the Wanxiang Sect disciples were stunned and the Spirit Dragon Sect disciples were dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, a great uproar swept through the entire arena.

"You’ve worked hard. Rest well."

Zhang Tianwen leaped up and took the unconscious Yu Changsheng from Mo Pengchen. Looking at his battered and bruised body, he let out a soft sigh, then smiled and called Li Minghan over to help carry Yu Changsheng away.

Mo Pengchen, a wide smile on his face, nodded to Zhang Tianwen. He then turned to Mu Yongxian, whose expression was grim, and said with a grin:

"Do you have any objections, Peak Master Mu? If not, then the first-place winner of this competition between our two sects is the Wanxiang Sect’s very own Yu Changsheng."

Mu Yongxian’s face was dark. He looked down at the still-unconscious Yang Chengxu, and after a long moment, he sighed softly. "Peak Master Mo, your Beast Taming Peak is truly full of hidden talents," he said in a low voice. "Yu Changsheng, was it? He is indeed an outstanding prodigy."

"It was a stroke of luck. And I must thank your beloved disciple for holding back."

Mo Pengchen gave a faint smile, a flash of surprise in his eyes. To be honest, he hadn’t had much confidence in Yu Changsheng. This final result, however, gave him a new appreciation for the boy’s ruthlessness.

After all, on the surface, Yu Changsheng held no advantage—not in Beast Taming, Cultivation, or Divine Techniques. And yet, the result was completely unexpected.

Of course, the key to this victory was the groundwork laid by Zhang Tianwen in the previous match, which had forced Yang Chengxu’s Celestial Shadow Dragon into a deep slumber to advance. That was what gave Yu Changsheng the chance to turn the tables.

Otherwise, the outcome of this battle would likely have been far more difficult.

"And now, I declare..."

Mo Pengchen smiled serenely, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He pressed his arm down slightly, and the aura of his Golden Core Peak Cultivation erupted. The Heaven-reaching presence shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the clouds roiled, the light rain vanished, and a crystal-clear, freshly-washed blue sky was revealed.

The sunlight fell squarely upon Beast Taming Peak, not harsh, but with a faint golden radiance.

Deliberately guided by Mo Pengchen, a beam of celestial light struck the unconscious Yu Changsheng. In that instant, countless complex gazes fell upon him, their owners’ expressions varied. Under the heavenly light, Yu Changsheng’s figure was exceptionally brilliant.

The crowd fell silent. Mu Yongxian silently took a step back, his expression complicated. Mo Pengchen took a step forward, his voice like the toll of a great bell, striking the hearts and minds of everyone present and sending ripples through them.

"The first-place winner of this competition between the Wanxiang Sect and the Spirit Dragon Sect is Yu Changsheng!"

For a moment, the crowd was silent. Sun Shihan’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she gazed intently at Yu Changsheng. Li Minghan, his expression exultant, was the first to break into vigorous applause. Immediately, the sound of clapping swelled into a unified roar, echoing across the venue.

At that moment, regardless of what anyone else thought, Yu Changsheng’s first-place victory was an undeniable fact.

"It’s a shame. Because of certain matters, most of the sect’s upper echelons aren’t here—only our Peak Master is. Otherwise, you would have been under an even greater spotlight."

Zhang Tianwen supported Yu Changsheng, looking at his unconscious form. With a wave of his hand, streams of green light flowed into Yu Changsheng’s body to regulate his aura as he muttered under his breath.

"Though I suppose you wouldn’t care about any of that."

After a moment, Zhang Tianwen shook his head and smiled, his gaze clear. There wasn’t a hint of dissatisfaction at being overshadowed by Yu Changsheng’s glory; there was only a heartfelt blessing.

Having once been at death’s door, he no longer cared much for such empty fame. He had only fought this time for the sake of the Wanxiang Sect’s honor.

As for the ranking? The reward for first place wasn’t something he desperately needed.

"Let me help him back to my private recovery room at the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower so he can recuperate."

Li Minghan and Sun Shihan stepped forward. After a moment’s thought, Li Minghan spoke to Zhang Tianwen.

Zhang Tianwen considered this, glancing up at Mo Pengchen on the high platform. He quietly assessed Yu Changsheng’s condition, then nodded and said:

"After taking the Life-Returning Pill, he’s basically fine. His injuries are all recovering. The battle was just too draining for him, which is why he passed out. For now, you can take him to your place. Just don’t disturb him."

After a pause, Zhang Tianwen thought for a moment and added, "Let’s go. We’ll go together."

Now that first place had been decided, there were still other matches to determine the remaining rankings, but none of that concerned Yu Changsheng anymore.

What both sects truly cared about, after all, was who took first place.

Before long, the three of them had carried Yu Changsheng to a recovery room in the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower. It came with its own spacious courtyard, complete with picturesque mountains and streams, the sound of birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers. The entire area was enveloped by an Array and wreathed in Spiritual Mist. It had to be said, the environment was a significant improvement over Beast Taming Peak.

"I wonder how many Spirit Stones it costs to maintain this Array for a single day. The Ten Thousand Beasts Tower truly lives up to its name."
