Beastmaster of the Ages

When Huang Jiaoyang fell to the ground, Xian Xian’s Pearlight Sacredeye pierced straight through her back, dealing a lot of damage to her cosmic charts! She was being completely pushed back!

Losing the upper hand to Tianming so easily meant that she could barely hold up against his barrage. So he put away the Grand-Orient Sword and merely used his Fiendsky Arm and Lan Huang to fight her in close combat.

His fists were packed with fire and lightning. Each strike that landed on Huang Jiaoyang’s body sent her helplessly flying into the air or slamming into the ground, able to do nothing but cry out in pain. Even then, Tianming hadn’t completely killed her, as he wasn’t using his sword. His attacks weren’t fatal, but they were still torturous and painful. She got beaten and bloodied and couldn’t resist at all.

”You!” She didn’t even have the chance to cry out in pain. Tianming used his punches, kicks, and Prime Starchain on her like she was a sandbag. The Prime Starchain wrapped itself around the leopard-like specter. In her transformed state, she didn’t look beautiful at all, so he felt like he was beating up a wild animal and didn’t feel the slightest hesitation.

”Li Tianming!” As expected, Huang Daosheng’s face was flushed with anger. His dark blue eyes were completely bloodshot, but Tianming completely ignored him.

”Ugh!” Huang Jiaoyang let out another cry of pain as she was slammed into the ground. Her entire body seemed limp and powerless. Putting aside breaking free from the grand lexicon wonder, she couldn’t even get the Prime Starchain off of her. She was completely at Tianming’s mercy. Apart from coughing out blood on the ground, she couldn’t even move. However, Tianming’s attacks had still been measured; she had only sustained countless minor injuries without any that would actually defeat her by rendering her unable to fight.

”What in the world is he doing?!” The five-hundred-plus people outside couldn’t bear to watch.

”Li Tianming... you... you’ll definitely die a horrible death! Even your master, Lan Yun, will pay the price!” Huang Jiaoyang was convinced of her loss, but her pride as a member of House Huang and a gold ring disciple still remained.

”Is that so? Then I’ll make you pay the price first!” Tianming said with a cold smirk.

By now, Huang Jiaoyang was no longer able to maintain her combat transformation and had reverted to her 2.8-meter-tall form. She still looked healthy, fit, and a little wild. Her lips were a little thick, but that only added to her exotic charm.

”You’re a pretty one. I’m truly envious of how Huang Daosheng is able to enjoy double the fun every single day,” Tianming said.

”What’re you talking about?” Huang Jiaoyang was so scared that her face turned pale. Her body was entirely bound by the Prime Starchain. The words from the grand lexicon wonder also rendered her scarcely able to move.

”Hmm? He brought more than five hundred people in an attempt to kill me. It wouldn’t be going too far for me to play with his sweet girls for a bit, right?” Tianming said.

”What?!” Not even Huang Jiaoyang ever would have imagined that Tianming would be so bold. She couldn’t even fathom that a madman like him could exist. As the scenario played out in her imagination, she couldn’t endure it and began loudly screeching in terror.

”Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng! Save me! Save me, quick!” She sounded absolutely desperate. Tears ran down her face as she struggled more and more.

Everyone outside also heard what Tianming had said and a huge commotion erupted.

”Quick, there’s a show for us to watch!”

”Damn, now this is what I’m talking about!”

”This fellow truly has a talent for stoking drama. Not to mention, he actually has the balls to do it! Insane!”

”Wouldn’t Huang Daosheng be witnessing all this live? Fuck.... This is unfathomable. I don’t have the words.”

”He’s an absolute madman! If he actually goes through with it, we’ll have a whole chapter dedicated to him in our history! He’ll always be defined by this deed!”

Even though it was a small duel between fortuna-class disciples, it drew the attention of countless people. Even though Huang Daosheng and Huang Jiaoyang were both gold ring disciples with pride that nobody else could challenge, that wouldn’t stop others from enjoying the drama at their expense.

It didn’t seem like Tianming was just bluffing as he closed the distance. However, countless black roots and white veins appeared from his left leg and formed a sphere that blocked everyone’s view.

”Holy shit, he’s not going to broadcast it!”

”Dammit! Somebody go pull that thing aside!”

Everyone was pissed at being denied their voyeuristic indulgence.

”Who’s in charge of this Fortuna Arena? Get that brat to open up a peephole right this instant!”

Everything fell into chaos.

”The fight itself was pointless. How can we miss it when things are getting good?!”

Of all of them, the one feeling the most agonized about things was Huang Daosheng, the Little Lion King. He uncontrollably roared, ”Open the Fortuna Arena! Huang Jiaoyang lost! Open it!”

The seniors in charge of administering the duel had a short discussion and announced, ”Everyone, combat hasn’t ended as Huang Jiaoyang hasn’t been sufficiently injured to be counted as defeated. Her myriadpath ring hasn’t reacted yet. According to our historical rules, the Fortuna Arena will not be opened. These rules are absolute, so we ask for your understanding.”

Hearing that, Huang Daosheng slumped to the ground, completely broken.

”It’s starting! I hear a scream!” Hearing that, the Little Lion King felt like he had been struck by lightning and coughed out mouthfuls of blood, rolled on the ground, and started spazzing out.

The crowd was enjoying his humiliating situation. All the people in the audience went wild, and Huang Daosheng felt numbed to their reaction. He could hear them rhythmically shouting and cheering with the sounds from the arena.

......

Within the little nest in the Fortuna Arena, Tianming tickled Huang Jiaoyang’s armpits with Ying Huo’s softened feathers. The entire arena shook from her uncontrollable spasms and unwilling cries from the forced tickling. It sounded incredibly suggestive.

”Why don’t you actually do it?” Ying Huo asked, rolling its eyes.

”We simply don’t match. Maybe I’ll think about it when I grow a few meters taller.” Tianming turned and looked at the leopard girl who was foaming from the mouth. ”Not to mention, I’m a chaste man. She isn’t my cup of tea anyway.”

Compared to Feiling to Huang Jiaoyang was heresy. It was already a miracle that Tianming didn’t vomit in disgust.

”Chaste, huh? What was all that with Lan Yun?”

”Can you even compare them?” Tianming glared at Ying Huo. How could a bestial specter woman compare to a master seductress like her?

”Do you think people would believe her if she tells them that all you did here was tickle her?” Ying Huo asked, snickering.

”I wouldn’t,” Tianming said.

”Looks like Huang Daosheng will have to live with this for the rest of his life! You’re ruthless!”

”He was going to kill me, my extended family, and all my friends. How does what I’m doing here even begin to compare to his threats?” Just like that, Tianming stomped Huang Jiaoyang’s head flat, splattering her brains all over the place. Her myriadpath ring finally registered her defeat.

”Ah, that little upstart is quite fierce.”

The Fortuna Arena finally opened up and Tianming walked out of his little nest with a satisfied smile. Huang Daosheng audibly fell to his knees. Something in him broke at the mere imagination of what had happened in the nest.

The sight was recorded in the annals of history alongside the red-and-black name that made it up on the Fortuna Ranking.
