I Break through Crazily

A Battle King had died just like that, without ever knowing how Tang Yi had managed it.

Including Round Dance, his group of seventeen had come aggressively to cause trouble for Tang Yi. Who would have thought they would all end up lying on the arena floor, reduced to mangled corpses.

Even in death, their bodies weren’t intact. It was truly a pitiful sight.

HISS!

UPROAR!

A series of gasps echoed from the audience, followed by a wave of clamorous discussion.

"What happened?! Wasn’t that man in black supposed to be incredibly strong? How did he just drop dead?"

"The only ones in the arena are Tang Yi and his pet. It must have been the pet that killed the man in black."

"Whoa! That pet is insanely powerful! I didn’t see a thing, though. All I saw was it darting back and forth in the arena."

"What do you know? The pet was just too fast! Your eyes couldn’t keep up with its movements!"

"Aww, I want a pet like that too."

"Shh! Do you have a death wish? Don’t call it a ’pet’! That’s a Demon Beast—a powerful Demon Beast that even we have to look up to!"

"But it’s strange. Tang Yi is just the Big Waste. Where could he have found such a powerful Demon Beast? Those men in black were strong enough to defeat the West Mansion Chief Examiner, yet this Demon Beast killed them in the blink of an eye."

"If I recall correctly, the Chief Examiner is at the Battle King Level, right? That means there was also a Battle King Level expert among those men in black. And yet, they all died at the hands of that Demon Beast."

"From now on, we’d better watch what we say about Tang Yi. What if we call him the Big Waste and he overhears? If he sends that Demon Beast after us, there’s no way we could resist."

"Err... You have a point!"

"..."

Everyone stared at Little Tiger in the arena with dread. Their gazes toward Tang Yi were no longer so hostile. After all, with a Demon Beast like that, even if Tang Yi was the Big Waste and had no strength of his own, no one would dare provoke him.

He was just someone you couldn’t afford to mess with!

"I thought Tang Yi was a dead man for sure. I never expected him to have such a powerful Demon Beast protecting him."

"No wonder Tang Yi was so calm the whole time. Turns out he had an ace up his sleeve. Still, it’s just external power. He’s still the same old Big Waste."

"He can’t bring that Demon Beast with him into the official matches, can he? If he can, I’m not fighting him! There’d be no chance of winning."

"Don’t worry. The rules of the West Mansion would never allow Tang Yi to bring such a powerful Demon Beast. Once he’s in the arena, he’ll be the same Big Waste we can all beat down."

"I’m already looking forward to teaching him a lesson myself!"

"..."

The candidates for the qualification exam were also buzzing with discussion, but the looks they gave Tang Yi were still filled with utter contempt.

On the Saint Martial Continent, only the strong were revered. No matter how formidable Little Tiger was, the power belonged to Little Tiger, not Tang Yi. Even if Little Tiger was his Demon Beast, it was still an external power, something that would never earn him the respect of the masses.

’It... It must be mine!’

Mu Xianling stared at Little Tiger, her gaze growing more fervent. Her fists clenched tightly, her heart pounding with excitement, as if she were the one who had just defeated the men in black.

Little Tiger was adorable, powerful, and so small—it was everything Mu Xianling could ever want in a pet!

Mu Xianling had already made up her mind. No matter what it took, she had to have Little Tiger!

She loved it just that much!

...

Everyone in the arena believed that the credit for slaying the troublemaking men in black belonged to Little Tiger. None of them knew that Tang Yi had also made a move.

Only two people in the entire venue knew that Tang Yi had acted. One was Tang Haotian, standing right behind him.

Tang Haotian had clearly heard the conversation between Tang Yi and the man in black. Tang Yi had said he was about to make his move, and then the man in black was sliced into pieces. To suggest it wasn’t Tang Yi’s doing was something he wouldn’t believe for the life of him.

At this moment, Tang Haotian was both thrilled and excited. ’The Tang Family’s time has come! It’s finally here!’

’To think Tang Yi’s strength has already reached such a level... He can already defeat a Battle King Level existence, and what’s more...’

Tang Haotian’s gaze shifted to Little Tiger...

’Tang Yi even managed to acquire a super Demon Beast comparable to a Battle King.’

Ever since Tang Yi’s sudden rise, Tang Haotian had known this day would come. He just never expected it to arrive so quickly.

’He can already defeat a Battle King and has a Battle King Level pet. If Tang Yi is given a little more time, just how powerful will he become?’

Just the thought of it made Tang Haotian feel excited. His gaze toward Tang Yi was filled with pride.

’That’s my son! Now that my boy has made it, I’m going to enjoy a comfortable life!’

The other person who knew Tang Yi had acted was the West Mansion Chief Examiner, Wang Zongyao.

From the moment the men in black entered the arena to cause trouble for Tang Yi, Wang Zongyao had already foreseen their fate. What he hadn’t expected was how easily Tang Yi handled them. It seemed his strength had improved significantly once again!

From start to finish, Tang Yi had been completely composed. Even when dealing with the Battle King Level man in black, he acted as if it were a casual flick of the wrist, looking incredibly relaxed and at ease.

Moreover, in the few days since they had last met, the aura emanating from Tang Yi had grown even more powerful.

Ordinary people were too weak to sense it, but Wang Zongyao, as a Battle King, could feel a terrifying pressure coming from Tang Yi. It was the kind of pressure that felt more real the higher one’s own Level was. If it were to erupt, it would make one’s heart pound in terror and body tremble uncontrollably.

This made Wang Zongyao even more pleased with Tang Yi, reaffirming his belief that befriending him was the best decision he had ever made.

"Someone, clean up this arena at once. The third round of the qualification exam will then proceed as scheduled."

After a moment of reflection, Wang Zongyao gave the order.

"Yes, sir!"

Several West Mansion experts acknowledged the order and immediately went to arrange for the cleanup crew.

Otherwise, the gruesome chunks of the men in black’s corpses would be too disgusting. There was no way the candidates could focus on their matches while looking at that.

The little incident with the men in black passed quickly. Although people were still gossiping, speculating about why the men in black were after Tang Yi and how he had acquired such a formidable Demon Beast, the main focus remained on who would secure the spots from the qualification exam.

After the West Mansion staff had cleaned the arena, the third round of the qualification exam began anew. The crowd selectively forgot what had just occurred and turned their attention back to the annual spectacle.

And so, Tang Yi proceeded with his third, fourth, fifth, and sixth matches.

These four matches went exactly like the previous ones. Without Tang Yi visibly doing anything, his opponents would simply charge off the arena on their own. It was incredibly bizarre—they were better actors than actual actors, a total performance!

This inevitably drew waves of boos and curses from the audience.
