Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 186: Chapter 183 Swallowed in One Gulp Chapter 186: Chapter 183 Swallowed in One Gulp Qin Feng looked at Lan Qinhu on the platform, who appeared somewhat arrogant, and could not help but shake his head helplessly.

Although he knew that once he came here, someone would definitely challenge him, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

He had originally planned to observe the performance and techniques of other disciples on the platform for a while to have a clearer understanding before stepping up, at least waiting until about halfway through.

As it turned out, many fights on the platforms had not even concluded their first round when someone forced him to step up.

This meant he might have to fight from the beginning to the end.

After all, he did not want to lose to anyone on the platform.

…

Now, the only problem was whether he could last that long.

Perhaps, when his True Yuan was about to be depleted, he could voluntarily admit defeat and step down.

In that way, it wouldn’t really count as a loss, and he thought his opponent wouldn’t have the nerve to boast about defeating him.

Forget it, we’ll see when the time comes.

Seeing Lan Qinhu continue to provoke him with insolent words from the platform, Qin Feng’s expression remained unchanged, but he inwardly snorted.

This guy, ruining his plans and speaking such bold words without shame, should not blame me for not leaving him any face.

He had also watched Lan Qinhu fighting with others for a moment and did not think this person’s strength was any formidable.

With his current cultivation level, he was confident about defeating Lan Qinhu without any worry.

Qin Feng lightly tapped his foot, and like a bird, he elegantly landed on the platform.

“Ha ha ha…”

Lan Qinhu’s face revealed a mocking and smug laugh, “Qin Feng, you finally dare to show up.”

Qin Feng rolled his eyes, “When have I ever dared not to show up?”

“All this time, you have been hiding at Spiritual Snake Peak and not accepting challenges from fellow disciples, just because you feared being defeated, huh?

If you were really scared, you shouldn’t have joined this year’s grand competition.

Since you’re here, I will let you know…”

“Idiot!”

Qin Feng, not wanting to listen to more nonsense, directly turned to a nearby Golden Core Elder and cupped his hands, “Elder, may we begin?”

This Golden Core Elder was the Six-Toothed Sage from White Elephant Peak, known for this title not because he only had six teeth, but rather because his Lifebound Spiritual Beast was a Six-Toothed Giant Elephant.

“Once you’re on the platform, it means you’ve started.

Just make your move.”

The Six-Toothed Sage, being a cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage, evidently did not wish to watch the two youngsters engage in a verbal duel on the platform and straightforwardly announced the start of the match.

“Disciple understands.”

Qin Feng nodded.

It seems there’s still some room for maneuver here!

Lan Qinhu, having been interrupted by Qin Feng earlier, felt some displeasure.

Seeing the Six-Toothed Sage announcing the start, he snorted coldly from his nose, “Since you so desire to experience my techniques, then I will…”

Before he could continue, the Little Toad that Qin Feng had been holding in his hand gently leapt and disappeared, then reappeared right in front of him.

Lan Qinhu was startled, not knowing what Divine Power the Little Toad had used to appear so mysteriously.

However, his quick reaction allowed him to activate the defense of his Magic Robe, preparing to withstand an attack from the Swallowing Sky Toad while he merged with his Lifebound Spiritual Beasts, ready for battle.

But under Qin Feng’s command, the Swallowing Sky Toad did not cast any spell but instead used its four short legs to push forcefully against him, instantly sending a great force that flung him away.

Bang!

Lan Qinhu was knocked a few feet off the ground, landing on the ground behind the platform and taking a couple of steps back before he could stabilize himself.

He shook his head, slightly stunned, but not injured—just unable to accept that he had been thrown off the platform so easily.

Then, in a sudden fury, he pointed at Qin Feng, “You…

you ambushed…”

Yes, it was indeed an ambush.

He hadn’t even merged completely with his spiritual beasts or given any orders to the two Spiritual Beasts behind him to prepare for battle, yet he was kicked off the platform by the Swallowing Sky Toad after it directly used its Space Shifting Divine Power to appear in front of him.

He hadn’t incurred any damage, as the Swallowing Sky Toad’s full-force kick hadn’t penetrated his defenses; it had merely pushed him back about twenty to twenty-five feet.

Under normal combat conditions, this wouldn’t count for much, but this was in the Outer Sect’s grand competition on the platform.

Before he even had a chance to prepare for battle, he had been kicked off the platform by the Little Toad, a mode of defeat so tough to accept.

Thus, Lan Qinhu, trembling with rage, said, “I wasn’t even ready to make a move yet, and you…

you actually let your Spiritual Beast ambush me?

I won’t accept this!”

Qin Feng’s lips slightly curved upward, his mood inexplicably improved by a great margin.

He didn’t care whether Lan Qinhu accepted it or not; since the Elder had already announced the start, he could certainly make his move freely.

Of course, he did take advantage somewhat.

If it weren’t on the platform, but a life-and-death struggle instead, he definitely wouldn’t have won so easily, even if he let the Swallowing Sky Toad use all its might, he might not have been able to severely injure Lan Qinhu.

But he didn’t need to seriously injure his opponent; as long as he could knock him a few feet back and push him off the platform, he would have won.

“Whether you accept it or not, you’ve already been thrown off the platform by me.”

Qin Feng, smiling, said, “Senior Brother Lan, you might as well call down your two Spiritual Beasts now.

The next fight is about to start, and it’s not quite appropriate for them to stay on the platform.”

“You…”

Lan Qinhu, feeling utterly frustrated and on the verge of spitting blood, wanted to speak, but then saw the Six-Toothed Sage from White Elephant Peak looking towards him with an indifferent expression, “Do not delay the other disciples’ matches, summon your Spiritual Beasts down quickly.”

“… Yes.”

As the Elder had spoken, Lan Qinhu, no matter how reluctant he felt inside, could only let his Spiritual Beasts jump off the platform.

His heart full of sorrow—these were two Spiritual Beasts of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet without launching a single spell, he had to admit defeat!

On the high platform in front of the grand hall, the middle-aged cultivator lightly exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Spiritual Toad that had just jumped back into Qin Feng’s hands.

He hesitated, then turned to Zhao Qiankun beside him and asked, “Capable of performing Space Shifting, could this be the Swallowing Sky Toad?

It must be, as Space Divine Power is extremely rare among low-level Demon Beasts.

Only the Swallowing Sky Toad among the class of Spiritual Toads possesses such divine abilities.

Your junior brother really has quite the bravado to dare to raise a Swallowing Sky Toad, isn’t he afraid of being eaten out of house and home?

However, why does that Swallowing Sky Toad look somewhat different from the descriptions in the Ten Thousand Demons Catalog?”

“It is a bit different.”

Zhao Qiankun nodded.

“Look at those star patterns on its back; it seems to have mixed bloodlines with the Swallowing Star Toad.

It’s unclear whether it was originally a mixed-blood Spiritual Toad or if it was cultivated into this state by him.

Haha, interesting.

A Swallowing Sky Toad cultivating the Star Dao, it’s hard to say how far it can go.

If it ever cultivates to a higher and deeper realm, the war power of this Spiritual Toad should not be underestimated.”

On the fighting stage, Qin Feng no longer paid attention to Lan Qinhu but instead looked towards the audience below and clasped his fists, saying, “Junior Brother Qin Feng here, may I know which senior brother wishes to enlighten me on the platform?”

“I will!”

“Let me…”

“Mystic Bird Peak’s Liu Heming would like to be enlightened.”

“Sky Wolf Peak’s Yue Dongsheng.”

“Golden Camel Peak’s disciple Mu Gaofeng would like to be enlightened!”

Qin Feng’s words, like a thousand-pound boulder thrown into the calm heart of a lake, immediately stirred up huge waves.

A large group of disciples rapidly approached, all eager to challenge Qin Feng.

Even though he had just defeated Lan Qinhu, in the eyes of the other disciples, his victory was merely due to opportunism and luck and did not truly reflect Qin Feng’s strength.

Besides, although Lan Qinhu had some reputation, many disciples present believed they were stronger than Lan Qinhu, thus they rushed over, and from even farther away, many other disciples headed this way, clearly all intent on challenging Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was a bit dumbstruck.

So many?

Am I really that much of a hot cake to attract such attention?

Up on the high platform, the Inner Sect elders watching the scene chuckled.

Among them, the youngest had cultivated for two to three hundred years already, and some with profound dao cultivation were even over a thousand years old.

They had seen everything, and scenes like Qin Feng’s occurred every few years.

And the reason behind such phenomena, where all disciples challenge one person, was often instigated by the Inner Sect elders who’d discreetly command someone to spread some messages to create such situations.

Because they needed to exert some pressure on the disciples they favored, allowing those disciples to experience suppression and toughening, which would help them grow higher in the future.

An elder laughed and said, “I remember the last time a situation like this occurred was probably over a decade ago when Li Miaozhen was in the Outer Sect, right?”

“True.”

Beside them, a burly man laughed and said, “However, Miao Zhen is generous in spirit and completely different from Qin Feng.

Whenever someone challenges her, she never refuses, even if she is injured.

She doesn’t back down like this lad, who has been laying low for months without accepting a single challenge.”

He was an Elder of the White Tiger Lineage, and according to their seniority, he was actually Li Miao Zhen’s senior uncle.

Naturally, he had a fondness for this True Disciple of his lineage.

On the other hand, he somewhat looked down on Qin Feng for his reluctance to fight.

“Li Miao Zhen, that girl is quite something,”

Beside him, a female Elder laughed and said, “It’s just that her temper is too fierce.

It’s fine when people challenge her normally; at most, they get beaten up by her.

However, those who try to take advantage of her injuries end up severely injured by her, miserably needing several months to recover.”

“One of my disciples ended up with over a dozen broken bones because of her, and now he runs away as far as he can whenever he sees that girl, just like a rabbit fleeing from a tiger.

Quite disgraceful, really.”

“Haha, well, your disciple has a Jade Rabbit as his Lifebound, after all.

Seeing Li Miao Zhen would scare him like that.”

“But, when Li Miao Zhen was in the Outer Sect competing in the grand tournament, she was incredibly brave.

She didn’t need others to challenge her; she called them out one by one, challenging the most famous talents from the different peaks of the Outer Sect, and left them all dispirited.

Qin Feng is certainly not like Li Miao Zhen.” Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Normal, did you really expect the disciples of the Spiritual Snake Lineage to be like those from the White Tiger Lineage?

The sect can’t possibly train all disciples to become mere brutes with no brains.”

“Cough, don’t speak nonsense, be careful lest Luo Zhancheng hears you, and he decides to come over for a ‘friendly’ match.

You’d then get a good taste of being trampled by a brute.”

A group of Inner Sect Elders chatted and laughed as they watched the many disciples sparring on the stage below.

To cultivators of their Realm, these Outer Sect disciples, no matter how exceptional they might seem, were merely like children playing house, so they didn’t pay much attention to some of the flashy duels.

At Qin Feng’s stage, hundreds of disciples had already gathered, and even more seemed to be on the way from afar, which was somewhat overwhelming for Qin Feng.

So many people—he wouldn’t be able to fight them all even if he tried!

Just as he was furrowing his brows in distress, suddenly, a figure shot up from below and landed on the stage with a thud.

“Hahaha, a bunch of fools, are you still thinking about drawing lots to decide who goes first?”

The tall disciple turned and mocked the crowd below, which caused the other disciples to denounce him for breaking the rules.

The disciple didn’t care, turned to look at Qin Feng and then glanced at the Swallowing Sky Toad in his hand, and said, “I am Mu Gaofeng from Golden Camel Peak.

I have long heard of Junior Brother Qin and have come today to seek some guidance.”

Qin Feng nodded, “All right, Senior Brother, be careful, I am about to make my move.”

As he spoke, his Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly vanished, then reappeared right in front of Mu Gaofeng.

“Hehe…”

Mu Gaofeng chuckled lightly, “I am not like Lan Qinhu; the tricks you used on that idiot won’t work on me.”

As he spoke, golden light flickered around him, and his back bulged up high while a massively heavy aura emanated from him.

He appeared as solid and immovable as a mountain, such that not even a creature known for its strength like the Iron Armor Rhinoceros would be likely to shake him.

“Is that so?”

Qin Feng’s voice came through, “But I wasn’t planning on using the same methods to deal with you!”

Before the sound of his voice had faded away, the Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed Mu Gaofeng whole.
