Chapter 467 - 267: Quota Confirmed, Big White Bear Joins the Battle
The Great Elder looked up and saw the Big White Bear gazing at him with hope.
In the eyes of the Big White Bear, there was also a yearning for battle.
"Alright then." The Great Elder said, "I will be observing, and if things really go south, I’ll have the Tree Ancestor intervene to save it."
Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks, then his eyes twinkled as he said, "Great Elder, if the Big White Bear really manages to win, the reward..."
The Great Elder was taken aback, then rolled his eyes, realizing that this was why Lin Chen had been waiting here for him.
But he said straightforwardly:
"That’s not an issue. As long as it wins, the final reward will definitely be doubled, and not a single portion will be missing for you."
"That’s good then."
Lin Chen was overjoyed and, cupping his hands, said, "Then I will go back to cultivation."
Saying this, he ran off. The Great Elder, watching him go, shook his head with a bitter smile and cursed:
"You brat."
However, he also immediately turned and left, once again looking for Yin Shi.
When the other party saw the Great Elder approaching, he opened his mouth to say: "I’ve already sent word back to the Celestial Capital, asking them to select a Level 30 Spirit Beast Beastmaster from the major families."
"No need." The Great Elder said, "I already have a suitable candidate here."
"Who?"
"Lin Chen."
"Isn’t his Divine Fox already past Level 40?" Hearing this, Yin Shi felt it was a pity; if the Little Fox was in the Level 30 range, with the power of the Heart-Burning Fire Control, it would surely be able to hold a stage.
"He has a third Spirit Beast."
"His bear?" Yin Shi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It’s only Level 34, the level difference is too big. Even if it evolves its Law, it can’t bridge such a large gap."
"Theoretically, that’s true." The Great Elder said, "But I believe in it."
"What Law does it comprehend?" Yin Shi asked.
"That can’t be disclosed." The Great Elder replied mysteriously, unwilling to elaborate, "I came here to discuss the reward with you."
"Go ahead."
"Lin Chen said if he can seize the titles of two stages, he hopes to receive three portions of reward." The Great Elder spoke while his pupils suddenly lifted.
Actually, Lin Chen only asked for two portions.
But the Great Elder, being a seasoned negotiator, would naturally try to get as much as possible.
"Three portions..." Yin Shi pondered for a second, then replied, "No problem."
"You’re authorized to make that call?"
"If Dubhe Pavilion is unwilling to give at the time, my Yin Family will pay up. Is that acceptable?" Yin Shi said.
"I can always trust Lord Yin’s credibility." The Great Elder squinted and smiled.
Yin Shi also smiled, looking at the Great Elder: "Your student is really something. If you don’t protect him well, someone might target him."
The Great Elder just smiled and left without saying more.
.....
In the next two days, the entire Celestial Realm City was bustling, and as the tournament reached this point, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
The most discussed weren’t Lin Chen.
It was Jie and Yin Changsheng.
Jie, known as the Child of the Demon God, fought only one battle, and no one dared to challenge again.
Because nobody knew if they could withstand even a single strike from him.
As for Yin Changsheng, he did the same, directly killing a Demon Beast, and it was a Beast King’s Cub.
That Beast King even wanted to cause trouble on the spot, but was held back by the Undying Phoenix.
If they turn against the Human Race now, it would be tantamount to starting a war immediately, which wasn’t the plan of the Peerless Demon King.
While the discussion among the Human Race was rampant, on the Demon King side, they gathered together, holding an overnight meeting to discuss the next round.
However, among them, two Beast Kings were in low spirits, one was the Dragon Scorpion King, and the other was the Demon King who had its Level 50 Beast King’s Cub killed.
If it weren’t for the fear of the Peerless Demon King’s power, they wouldn’t have even come today.
The Undying Phoenix started by saying: "Currently, we the Demon Race still hold the advantage, so don’t be disheartened."
A Demon King next to it picked up the conversation and said:
"I can send a Beast King’s Cub to fight on the Level 10 stage; there’s no comparison between the Human Race’s and our Level 10 stage."
"Very good." The Undying Phoenix nodded after hearing this and said: "If we can secure both the Level 10 and Level 30 stages, we will have the upper hand. We can afford to skip the Level 40, Level 50, and Level 70 stages."
The Ghost Hunting Wolf King, upon hearing this, started to speak again, saying:
"My son is guarding the Level 30 stage, it’s sure to be a win."
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, the Dragon Scorpion King was a little angry.
Because at the initial discussion meeting, everyone thought the Little Scorpion King was the most reliable due to its superior strength.
The Dragon Scorpion King and the Little Scorpion King had also publicly stated this on many occasions.
But who would have expected this time to be directly thwarted by Xiaobai.
A hint of pride flashed in the Ghost Hunting Wolf King’s eyes, but it didn’t continue to provoke the Dragon Scorpion King. Instead, the Undying Phoenix said, "Alright, stop the bickering; if this matter isn’t managed properly, you know what the consequences will be."
The two Demon Kings, upon hearing this, decided to keep quiet.
Another Demon King said: "But if the opponent has a strong reinforcement..."
"Then we will have to seek help from the Peerless Demon King." The Undying Phoenix said.
....
In the evening, Lin Chen was in the courtyard, watching the Big White Bear train.
This time it should be considered the Big White Bear’s first true battle on behalf of Lin Chen.
Thus, the Big White Bear didn’t want to lose, even though the level difference with its opponent was five levels.
Still, the Big White Bear thought the world was indeed illusory.
In the past, when it was under Lee Zaiqing, the Big White Bear faced Spirit Beasts of the same level, fighting fiercely and often getting beaten badly.
But now, after following Lin Chen, its aim was no longer within the same level.
Like Xiaobai, it has been fighting across levels all along.
For Xiaobai, fighting Level 1 and Level 2 isn’t even a challenge anymore.
So unconsciously, the Big White Bear set its sights on surpassing two levels, to Level 3.
But in fact, after following Lin Chen, the Big White Bear had far too few opportunities to appear...
With Xiaobai and Xiao Hong above it, there was never a chance for it to act as the third.
So, having the opportunity to act once, the Big White Bear cherished it very much.
It seemed to sense the Big White Bear’s anxiety, although Xiaobai was very tired, it still acted as the Big White Bear’s sparring partner, and in the end, it was so tired that Xiaobai even ate grass while mooing at the Big White Bear.
It told the Big White Bear that it had fought that wolf before, and it wasn’t very strong, and it believed the Big White Bear could definitely beat it.
"Roar!"
The Big White Bear nodded heavily and turned around, only to find that Lin Chen was nowhere to be seen.
This time, he didn’t bring anyone along, not even the little blue fish, which he left in the courtyard.
At this moment, Lin Chen looked back a few times with some guilty conscience, quickly walking out the door.
Because at this moment, outside the door stood a familiar face.
Lin Chen and this person have a very good relationship.
But, for the Big White Bear, it was a painful past.
That’s right.
This person was indeed Lee Zaiqing.
