Chapter 274

Short on Contestants

Vexed but with no other option, Cang Wanzi asked, “How about Seventh Layer and above?”

A Primordial Infant and Body Severing Realm cultivator stepped out.

“Is that all we have?”

“Yang Li sends his greetings, Martial Ancestor!” Yang Li, a Primordial Infant Realm Ninth Layer youth in white, hurried through the crowd and saluted Cang Wanzi.

With a subtle smile, Cang Wanzi nodded. He knew how good Yang Li was. He asked his disciple, “Did you just arrive, Yang Li?”

“While on an errand Shifu assigned me, I happened to pass by. Therefore, I stopped to see what was going on.”

After hearing the story from Cang Wanzi, Yang Li said, “Elder, I am willing to fight them to defend our honour.”

“Terrific! Start preparing while I assemble the rest of the team.”Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Yang Li was among those invited to Floating Celestial Island. His greatest accomplishment to date was slaying over hundred level four fiend beasts and getting out unscathed on his own while out and about. During the time he was at Second Heaven, he chose to spend his time training, hence his cultivation level. He was on his way to becoming the youngest Body Severing Realm disciple in Mystic Spirit Sect’s history. His participation raised humanity’s morale exponentially.

Cang Wanzi once taught Yang Li. Therefore, he had a reliable measure of the young man’s talent and had faith in them.

“You done, humans? I thought you could find a genius without trying. Was my presumption wrong?” taunted the white ape fiend king, standing at the spacious field outside the village with his team.

Cang Wangzi rushed to Mist City to enlist help, but he didn’t find anyone readily available. Triggered, he commanded, “Yang Li, you kick it off. Don’t end the match even if you can easily win. We need you to buy us time for the others to arrive... You must win.”

The first match was important for raising morale and denting the enemy’s morale. Cang Wanzi’s confidence in him boosted Yang Li’s confidence.

“Worry not, Elder. I will not let you down.” Yang Li flew up to the sky.

Humanity was in high spirits as they cheered their representative on. The white ape fiend king didn’t evaluate Yang Li too highly and even picked his ears to show boredom.

“Primordial Infant Realm first? Fine. Xiong Ming, you go. Make it quick, but... Do. Not. Kill.” The white ape fiend king deliberately drawled loudly to mock humanity.

“Shove it up their rear end, Yang Li!”

Upon seeing Xiong Ming, Cang Wanzi sneered to himself. “I’d like to see you fiends trash talk after this.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Burly Xiong Ming eyes still had the traits of bears. He deliberately cleared the ground as he strolled over. Fist and palm together, he declared, “Fiend race’s Xiong Ming.”

“Humanity’s Yang Li.”

Yang Li already had his flying sword hovering in front of him. He viewed Xiong Ming as but a stepping stone to his glorious future.
