Chapter 318 Representative: Primordial Excalibur

Yun Zhe stood up, confused, as he stared at Satoshi. He had no idea why there was another person in the waiting room who was supposed to be exclusive to himself. And furthermore, this person even denied that he was his attendant. Yun Zhe knew that the person was assigned to the room to assist him, but he was even denying the job given to him.

"If this is some sort of elaborate prank then you can stop now. You don't have to do anything. You can just stand there by the corner and not bother me while I try to focus on the fight." Yun Zhe said as he headed towards the couch in the middle of the waiting room. He gestured his hand in a weird manner, trying to shoo Satoshi away from the couch.

"Excuse you?" Satoshi asked out of surprise. To him, it was Yun Zhe who was intruding in his space. This was his waiting room, exclusively for him. He shouldn't be inclined to share this room with another person especially if that person didn't even belong herein in the first place.

"I said just don't bother me. You're assigned as my attendant and you don't even want to do your job? At the very least just don't bother me. I have to focus on this fight. This Official Beast Tournament is my debut as the beast master. And I want to show the entire world how strong I am... stronger than the current beast masters who couldn't even integrate with their beasts properly." Yun Zhe muttered to himself.

Even with everything he said, Satoshi didn't budge at all. Ironically, had Yun Zhe asked him properly, he'd have given him some space on the couch. But he didn't like how Yun Zhe was as demanding as an unfed baby, so he adamantly refused to leave his spot.

This angered Yun Zhe even more. He was on the verge of actually integrating with one of his tamed beasts just so he'd drive Satoshi out of the room. However, he didn't want to cause a scene and it would leave a bad taste in his mouth if he made a bad first impression on everyone on his debut. Maintaining his composure, he stayed where he was, standing menacingly in front of Satoshi, patiently waiting for him to get out of the way.

'I'm sure he knows who I am. I don't have to point out that I'm Black Fog's master, the one who taught the leader of the Black Fog Faction how to integrate with two beasts. I don't have to repeat myself. I'm sure he'd get intimidated soon enough.' Yun Zhe said to himself, proceeding to stare down at Satoshi as if he was some dirt on the ground that needed to be removed.

"What are you doing?" Satoshi asked. He could feel a little bit of killing intent emanating from Yun Zhe but he wasn't at all alarmed. Even if he picked a fight right then and there, Satoshi knew that he'd be able to handle himself just fine.

Yun Zhe, on the other hand, was already flaring up deep inside. He couldn't tell why this person from the Black Fog Faction was acting as if he was some sort of a bigshot. He couldn't understand why that person wouldn't budge at all, running his patience thin and driving him to the edge.

"You... I"m only going to say this once. Move and don't bother me." Yun Zhe asked.

"You're the one who's bothering me. If you don't want to be bothered then don't bother anyone." Satoshi curtly responded, clicking his tongue in between his breaths. It wasn't just Yun Zhe who was beginning to get impatient. Satoshi too was being driven to the edge and he was almost at boiling point. If Yun Zhe makes a wrong move, Satoshi wouldn't hesitate to counter with full power. He doesn't care if he hurts Yun Zhe during the fight.

Then again, Satoshi told himself that he wouldn't go as far as to give him an injury if they went after each other's throats. At the end of the day, he could tell that this teenager in front of him is also a beast tamer. He didn't want him to participate in the Official Beast Tournament with only half his strength.

[Satoshi, be careful... this guy... he's got a representative]

'What?! This teenager? Are you sure about that?' Satoshi asked in his mind, his eye twitching when he heard Dex's voice in his head. The news certainly did surprise him but this wasn't the first time he met someone with a representative so the experience wasn't anything new to him.

[Judging from his innate energy level, I'd say its more than nine thousand] Dex continued, keeping a straight tone in his voice even though he was referencing an old joke from a certain animated series classic.

'What are you talking about?' Satoshi asked, wondering why Dex was speaking in jargon.

[What I mean is... this teenager is not that simple. He's as strong as you... if not stronger than you.]

This was the first time Satoshi heard Dex say it so obviously like that. Without further ado, Satoshi reached inside his Orb Oboros, preparing to summon Ghast at a moment's notice. He was expecting Yun Zhe to be a somewhat above-average beast tamer, but he couldn't believe that Yun Zhe turned out to be a big shot. He has a representative, and Dex even specifically stated that he was just as strong as Satoshi.

If worse comes to worst and they really have to fight, at least Satoshi didn't have to hold back.

For a brief moment, Satoshi released a little bit of killing intent, directing it at Yun Zhe since he was acting like a threat. Yun Zhe misunderstood this small gesture and before he could think twice, he was already integrated with two of his Bengal Tigers which he kept inside Grens (greens are storage spaces used to keep tamed beasts in another dimension).

Of course, Satoshi also took Yun Zhe's beast integration the wrong way and he immediately teleported to the corner of the room, integrating with both Sain (his chainsaw familiar) and Droplet (his water-type familiar) while keeping Ghast out in the open. He didn't want to integrate with him for now since he didn't need it at all.

The reason why Satoshi chose both Sain and Droplet was because of their difference in their states of matter. Sain is metallic in nature, and his chainsaws can both be used offensively and defensively. As for Droplet, it provided Satoshi with everything he lacked. Since Droplet is a water type, its resiliency was akin to a superhero who's an expert at water manipulation.

And furthermore, Satoshi also knew that both Sain and Droplet have increased in rank. He hasn't checked their overall stats but he could tell that they were more powerful than before.

"If you want to fight, then bring it on," Satoshi called out. Usually, Satoshi would want a situation to be resolved as peacefully as he could but right now, he couldn't help but feel like wanting to give this Yun Zhe a lesson. Not only did Yun Zhe look down on him, but he also ordered him around as if he was his assistant. Satoshi felt it right in the nerve, and that's why he couldn't overlook his actions that easily.

"As expected from someone in the Black Fog Faction. So you can use the skill Dual Beast Integration huh. But can you do this?" Yun Zhe said, summoning yet another tamed beast which was in the form of a huge broadsword. This huge broadsword had a yellow hilt with gold and white engraving on it. A huge red gem shone on the top part of the hilt right. There was also a hint of a cloud etched on the blade of the great broadsword.

The broadsword floated in front of Yun Zhe, and then it turned into a bright white light. "Primordial Excalibur. I need your strength." Yun Zhe muttered to himself.

In an instant, Yun Zhe turned into a knight in full armor with his armor having the same color as the Primordial Excalibur. He also held a broadsword in his hand, putting it behind him. Aside from the tiger hide he wore on his back, he also had full armor on. Satoshi could tell that he was able to successfully perform beast integration with three beasts, also called Trinity Beast Integration.

"Then how about this," Satoshi called out, summoning Sera and the Ice Empress and integrating with them. In an instant, he turned into a man covered in ice armor. There was an ice spear strapped on his back, but Satoshi preferred dual-wielding the chainsaws provided by Sain. A formless shield of water surrounded Satoshi, and a couple of machine cogs rotated at the top of his head.

"To think there was such a talent like you in the Black Fog Faction. I'm honestly surprised. I'm not even mad at this point. Seeing someone activate the Quadra Beast Integration other than myself is a breath of fresh air." Yun Zhe commented.

"As I said, I have no idea what you're talking about." Satoshi heaved a sigh before charging at Yun Zhe, chainsaws blazing.
