Chapter 755 - The Strongest Rank 5?

Chapter 755: The Strongest Rank 5?

Wei Zhuang’s name was quite well known too.

Raised in a military camp, he had slaughtered countless men and the first thirty years of his life had been spent with swords and horses. He had been living a soldier’s life. Under normal circumstances, he would one day die on the battlefield, just as his former comrades had, and be buried under deserted grounds. If the rain washed him up a thousand years later, he would only be an unrecognizable pile of dried bones.

But sometimes, humans knew how to turn their fate around.

Wei Zhuang’s fate was changed on a gruesome battlefield. His original pet beast died and the situation back then wasn’t in his favor. He and his army probably couldn’t last until nightfall.

It was at that moment, Wei Zhuang and his team found an underground tomb.

Tombs were usually dangerous and symbolized misfortune. People would usually avoid them unless anything special happened. To some people of caliber, besides these unfavorable factors, they saw another merit, and that was that tombs usually contained treasures.

Wei Zhuang and his men were already drenched in blood and covered in malicious aura so they obviously didn’t fear ill fortune. They immediately investigated the tomb upon discovery, trying to see if they could find anything valuable.

Alas, they encountered grave dangers down there and all of Wei Zhuang’s comrades perished as a result.

Wei Zhuang would never forget what happened. He was fortunate enough to have survived because he was chosen by that terrifying beast in the tomb as a blood contract owner.

Because that thing needed a medium to leave its tomb.

Wei Zhuang never told anyone about this.

Also, he actually had to listen to his pet beast, so in his case, it wasn’t the human in control but the beast.

However, Wei Zhuang didn’t care about that. He only cared about rising to success. If his desires could be fulfilled, what was wrong with being controlled by a beast?

Now that his prince had spoken, Wei Zhuang nodded and stepped forward to invoke a taboo spell.

The next instant, his stomach abruptly bulged and something began crawling up his throat until it was thrown up onto the ground.

The scene had frightened many as Wei Zhuang’s throat and mouth were being forcefully expanded to their maximum capacity. Those unaware were expecting him to burst from all this. But Wei Zhuang clearly had an unusual body as he was still fine even after having his mouth and throat expand several times their original size.

The thing he vomited looked like a piece of meat.

It was blood-red and covered in a layer of sticky goo.

The next instant, this bloodied meat began to grow rapidly. Through the naked eye, one could see bones appearing, meshed under bloodied flesh that continued to tremble and expand. In a short while, it grew up to the size of an elephant.

Be it the city guards or citizens, everyone who witnessed the scene felt their scalps prickle and they backed away subconsciously.

Wei Zhuang’s eyes twinkled with glee, as if to say that everyone had to surrender in his presence.

Though he was in terrible pain right now.

Every time he summoned his pet beast, he would have to suffer for a while. But it didn’t matter because he always managed to find satisfaction from elsewhere.

To Wei Zhuang, this was an equivalent exchange. As a former average soldier, he only obtained his current status and power from this trade.

So that made him even more conceited as he thought he deserved it all.

‘Just you watch. When this beast actually shows itself, all of you will know fear and recognize what this strongest Rank 5 beast really is,’ Wei Zhuang thought.

The bloodied meat was still transforming but had gradually taken shape.

It seemed to have a human’s body, a lion’s head, a bull’s horns, a tiger’s tail, an eagle’s wings, a gorilla’s arms, and the hind legs of a wolf. Each part of its body seemed to be made of parts of a different being.

More importantly, even after taking shape, it still didn’t have any skin, looking quite like a frog stripped of its outer layer.

This nameless hybrid beast had a violently hostile gaze and no one dared to meet its eyes. Every beast in the vicinity was cowering in fear, not daring to make a sound.

The prince, too, was satisfied.

This was the deterrent effect he wanted. Truth be told, Wei Zhuang was a very flamboyant character and had a high asking price. Still, the prince fulfilled all his requirements because he valued Wei Zhuang’s strength.

This hybrid beast was surely fit to be deemed the strongest of all Rank 5 beasts.

Back in their home country, no beast could defeat this creature.

It was also invincible everywhere else. Already more than ten Rank 5 beasts had surrendered to this hybrid creature, and that was how it gained its title as the strongest Rank 5 beast.

In the prince’s opinion, Rank 5 was the highest rank a beast could achieve in this world. He had never heard of creatures above this rank. So with this, Wei Zhuang’s hybrid beast must be the world’s strongest.

Lin Jin may have a distinguished reputation but he surely couldn’t win in combat. The prince only came here hoping to speak with Lin Jin to see if they could cooperate and help each other out.

Being a typical prince, he wanted to succeed the throne so he needed external support.

Jade Dragon Kingdom and Lin Jin were obviously one of his choices. Now that Lin Jin’s name was so profound, it would be a pity not to use it, so that was why he was here.

Only, he didn’t expect to be ignored upon his arrival. However, the prince wasn’t fazed. How could others know his worth if he didn’t make a show of it?

And now, the entire Jade Dragon City would know, so they would know how to treat him after this too.

With this in mind, the prince looked pleased.

This hybrid beast exuded a horrifying aura, so not only its surroundings but even the entire city was affected.

No doubt, Lin Jin had detected it immediately.

He was in the palace at that moment. Early in the morning, He Qian had come to receive him personally so they had been chatting, waiting for the official ceremony to start.

Alas, a wave of powerful aura suddenly swept over, frightening many pet beasts.

“What a forceful aura.” Lin Jin was stunned. This aura even tried to oppress his three pet beasts.

But it was obviously lacking.

It couldn’t even subdue the blood ghost, much less Xiao Huo.

A Rank 7 beast was equivalent to profound immortal level, and that aura was only half immortal level at best. There was an entire level of difference in between.

However, it was Lin Jin’s first time sensing such a strong beast in the mainlands, especially in Jade Dragon City, so he was rather shocked.

‘I must take a look,’ Lin Jin thought. He was ready to move when someone hurried over to report a murder case inside the city.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jin had an idea of what happened.

It must be done by a group of people. Only, he didn’t understand what the group was planning or why they wanted to cause trouble on an auspicious day in Jade Dragon Kingdom.

Lin Jin could stay calm but He Qian couldn’t.

He instantly flew into a rage after hearing that someone was trying to cause trouble..
