765 – The Beast Battles Begins
Contrary to their opponents’ pain of losing, Lan Xuanyu’s team wasn’t too affected. They represented Shrek Academy and it was natural for them to win this match. Furthermore, they had already won against the sixth years.
Once they were out of the competition grounds, nobody sent them off and everyone dispersed.
Tomorrow’s Beast Battles would be held here.
As Qian Lei walked back, he asked Liu Feng, “Frenzie, do you think the sixth years would have been able to win against these people today?”
Liu Feng thought for a moment and said, “They might lose one or two matches during the one-on-one, but should be able to win in the two-on-two. And definitely be able to win in the team battle. From the overall strength, the sixth years are slightly stronger than the students here. Also, the people on this side wouldn’t have been able to block the twin swords of Joy and Sorrow.”
Shrek Academy was Shrek Academy after all, Lan Xuanyu thought.
“What are you thinking about?” Bai Xiuxiu’s voice resounded in Lan Xuanyu’s ears.
“I was wondering if you weighed 50 kilograms,” Lan Xuanyu replied instinctively.
Then, he felt a murderous aura behind him.
“I’m only… 49 kilograms!” Bai Xiuxiu squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, her voice cold.
Lan Xuanyu shuddered. “Too skinny, too skinny. Girls should have some meat. Hahaa, look, you’re over 1.7 meters tall, and not even 50 kilograms.”
Bai Xiuxiu sneered. At this moment, Lan Mengqin turned around and glared at Lan Xuanyu.
“I’m 49 kilograms, you’re saying that I’m flat?”
“No, no…” Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that it was unwise to offend a girl!
“Big Brother Xuanyu.” Another aggrieved voice sounded. “Am I too skinny ?”
Lan Xuanyu slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this? Huihui was a girl too!
The seven of them were in a good mood as they returned to the base with smiles on their faces. There wasn’t much to plan for tomorrow’s battle tactics. They would go down one by one and defeat as many soul beasts as they could. They wanted to see if they could break the record.
He naturally had a good rest today.
The Sky Fighter mission was completed and four difficulty points were awarded.
Lan Xuanyu and the rest were not worried about tomorrow’s Beast Battles segment. To them, this was a good opportunity to train themselves and also a process to showcase themselves.
The present record was 33 consecutive victories. In other words, they had to defeat at least 34 10,000-year soul beasts to break the record. Whether or not they could break the record would depend on their opponents’ strength and improvisation.
After dinner, Lan Xuanyu called his teammates into his room to discuss with them.
“Why don’t we arrange the order of appearance first? According to the teachers from the Federation’s Central Academy, the further we go, the stronger the soul beasts become. If we want to break the record, each of us must win at least five matches. With everyone’s performance today, I feel confident in defeating 10,000-year soul beasts, but winning more than five matches might be difficult. So, in tomorrow’s Beast Battles segment, our core is Mengqin.”
“Me?” Lan Mengqin looked at Lan Xuanyu in surprise. Although she was quite confident in her own strength, she didn’t think that she was the strongest in the team. At least Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui’s individual strength should be above hers.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “It’s you! With Senior Bi Ji’s support, your self-recovery ability is the strongest, and your continuous fighting ability is naturally the strongest. So, you need to persevere for a few more battles and win a few more victories. The others will each get an Endless Life Fruit, and you will be able to persevere for as long as you can. Does anyone have any suggestions for the order of appearance?”
Tang Yuge shook her head and said, “You’re the captain, just decide.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Lan Xuanyu said, “The stronger the soul beast, the stronger the bloodline. Comparatively speaking, Mengqin, Xiuxiu, and I have a certain advantage in terms of bloodline. Fatty is alright too; we can put him in the front to test the influence of his bloodline suppression on the soul beasts. So the order of appearance will be arranged like this. Frenzie, you will be first, then Fatty, Huihui, Yuge, then Xiuxiu, Mengqin, and I will be last.”
Lan Xuanyu arranged for himself to be the last to fight, and he would undoubtedly face the strongest soul beasts. More importantly, if his teammates didn’t win 33 matches, the pressure would be on him. In Lan Xuanyu’s eyes, as the team leader, taking the initiative to bear the pressure was a matter of course.
“Does anyone have any objections?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Everyone shook their heads and looked at each other, fighting spirit burning in their eyes. It was even more intense than when they faced the Federation’s Central Academy opponents today.
If they wanted Lan Xuanyu to not be under too much pressure in the end, they needed to win more victories.
Lan Xuanyu used the order of appearance to stimulate the fighting spirit of his teammates.
“Everyone, have a good rest tonight. There should be students from the Federation’s Central Academy watching tomorrow. Let them see our full strength and they will understand that their team didn’t lose unjustly.”
The next morning, Lan Xuanyu and his team woke up in high spirits. After breakfast, they were led by Xiao Qi to the martial arts arena once again.
When they stepped into the arena, they realized that compared to the day before, the liveliness of the day had increased. It was just that after they entered the arena, the spectator stands became much quieter.
Bai Xiuxiu came to Lan Xuanyu’s side and whispered, “Senior Demon Queen asked me to remind everyone that the soul beasts here are different from the ones we saw on the Elven Planet. As their ideals are different, the cultivation methods of the soul beasts here are different from those on the Elven Planet. In a sense, they are more like human soul masters than soul beasts because they are all cultivating in the direction of human form.”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned for a moment before he nodded.
Bai Xiuxiu continued, “The soul beasts of this branch believe that the reason why humans can cultivate so quickly is because the human body is more suited to cultivating soul power and strengthening oneself. They cultivate into human form and it might be easier for them to transcend the tribulations in the future. The facts have proven this point, so there are many soul beasts that believe in this philosophy.
“On the other hand, the soul beasts on the Elven Planet believe that soul beasts have their own traditions. The reason why they can’t cultivate to become gods is because they were oppressed by the rules set by the Divine Realm. Once they break through the rules, they can truly become Divine Beasts. If they cultivate according to the method of cultivation on the Senluo Planet, the soul beasts will no longer be soul beasts and that isn’t what they want. Hence, the two parties have a disagreement.”
Lan Xuanyu immediately understood something.
Back then, he knew that the soul beasts were divided into two factions. When the Beast God Di Tian brought that faction away, he thought that Di Tian’s faction was the losing side and could not defeat the soul beasts here, so they migrated. But now, it seemed like that was not the case.
If the soul beasts on the Senluo Planet had already proven that their cultivation method could make it easier for the soul beasts to transcend the tribulation, then who wouldn’t want to be able to transcend the tribulation successfully, become stronger, and live longer?
This way, even the soul beasts that were originally on Beast God Di Tian’s side would want to try the cultivation method of the Senluo Planet’s soul beasts, right?
In other words, the Beast God Di Tian left with the other faction probably because he was worried that the soul beasts on his side would be assimilated by the other party, or even the entire group. At least, this was probably the main reason.
