Chapter 179: Chapter 148: Damn, This Lady Is a Bit Too Forward
This was the tallest Demon Beast Fang Xiu had ever seen.
And it had appeared so suddenly.
"So this is the training ground?"
He looked at the Demon Beast towering over six meters tall before him.
The look in Fang Xiu’s eyes was different now.
"Yes, this is the training ground. Demon Beasts and the like just appear out of nowhere. Once you leave this safe zone, Demon Beasts are everywhere."
Yue Tianrui thought Fang Xiu was a little scared. This was actually a good time to persuade him to leave.
So he continued, "You could just be walking along and run into a Demon Beast that pops up out of nowhere."
"How exciting!"
A satisfied expression appeared on Fang Xiu’s face as he looked at the six-meter-tall Demon Beast.
He hadn’t realized the training ground had such a unique feature.
Fang Xiu had previously thought the training ground was just about the tedious task of hunting down Demon Beasts.
He never expected it to have such a cool system.
"Ex... Exciting?"
Yue Tianrui hadn’t expected it either. Fang Xiu actually found this exciting?
"Yeah. Only this can be considered true Cultivation. It prepares you to handle all sorts of unexpected situations. Isn’t that exciting enough?"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
He reasoned.
"What you said..."
Yue Tianrui thought for a moment, then said, "Makes sense!"
"Fang Xiu is right. These suddenly appearing Demon Beasts can be troublesome when they’re too strong, but this also trains an Awakened’s reaction time and adaptability."
Li Mu, who was standing nearby, nodded eagerly when she heard Fang Xiu’s words.
She strongly agreed with his perspective.
’It might be dangerous, but isn’t the outside world dangerous too?’
’Any Gate World is dangerous enough as it is.’
"This Demon Beast is called a Heaven-Measuring Crystal Thunder Lizard. For every meter it grows, its power increases by ten Levels."
"Then this thing is at least six meters tall. Doesn’t that mean it’s at least Level 60?"
Fang Xiu looked at the Heaven-Measuring Crystal Thunder Lizard. It didn’t really seem like it was Level 60.
’After all, if it really were a Level 60 Demon Beast, Yue Tianrui and Zhao Yao would have already made their move.’
’Having a Level 60 Demon Beast appear this close would be an extremely dangerous situation!’
"No. This type of Demon Beast is born two meters tall. From Level 1 to Level 10, it stays at two meters. At Level 20, it’s three meters. Which means this thing is only Level 50."
Zhao Yao couldn’t have been more familiar with these Demon Beasts.
He then turned to Fang Xiu and said, "You could kill a Level 40 boss when you were Level 15. Now that you’re Level 26, this Level 50 Ordinary Monster shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?"
"Well..."
The boss Fang Xiu had killed was thanks to Kajimi’s efforts.
"You didn’t cheat, did you, kid?"
Zhao Yao and Fang Xiu were very familiar with each other.
He teased him, looking at the expression on his face.
From what Li Mu had just said,
the Level 40 boss had suffered external injuries, apparently from the Wind Element and Thunder Element.
But Fang Xiu was a Sacrificial Master.
’How could he possibly have powers like that?’
But no one else was seen entering the Gate World at the time.
They had only found Fang Xiu, who had somehow slipped in without anyone knowing when.
But at the very least, Fang Xiu’s account matched what the Demon Beast hunting party had said.
As for what method Fang Xiu had used to kill it,
no one knew.
However, Zhao Yao believed that Fang Xiu wasn’t the type to greedily take credit for something he hadn’t done.
He definitely wouldn’t have just swooped in for an easy kill.
That’s why Zhao Yao was actually even more curious about how Fang Xiu had managed it.
He was trying to goad Fang Xiu into showing off his skills.
"Uncle Zhao, with a Level 60+ and a Level 70+ expert like you guys here, why would a Level 20+ like me kill a Demon Beast? Wouldn’t that just be embarrassing myself in front of you?"
Fang Xiu gave a helpless smile.
’I mean, I *could* kill it.’
’I just can’t be bothered to act.’
’After all, my Netherworld Thunder Fall is already at the Forbidden Spell Level.’
’Combined with my Magic Staff and my own Level,’
’killing a Level 50 Demon Beast would be simple.’
"A minor Demon Beast like this naturally doesn’t require me or Old Yue to step in. It’s a job for you young people!"
Zhao Yao said with a faint smile, looking at the Demon Beast.
"ROAR!"
At that moment, the Demon Beast finally seemed to react.
It let out a furious roar in Fang Xiu’s group’s direction.
However, it seemed to sense that Zhao Yao and Yue Tianrui were formidable, and for a moment, it didn’t dare to charge.
"It’s not that I can’t do it. It’s just that if I make a move, I might attract the attention of many of the Awakened nearby!"
Fang Xiu glanced at the villas behind him. "It wouldn’t be good to disturb the seniors while they’re resting, now would it?"
"You kid..."
Zhao Yao looked at Fang Xiu and suddenly smiled.
He let out a low shout, "Assemble!"
The sound wasn’t loud, but it was wrapped in Spiritual Power and traveled a great distance.
Before long, figures began to emerge, pushing open the doors of the villas.
There were men and women, old and young, all of them Awakened.
"Captain Zhao, what’s going on?"
A middle-aged man glanced at the Demon Beast, paid it no mind, and looked directly at Zhao Yao to ask.
"Just that we have a new friend joining us today!"
At that moment, Zhao Yao looked at Fang Xiu and said with a smile, "This is him, young Fang Xiu, the one who killed a Level 40 boss at Level 15!"
Fang Xiu: "..."
’You’re the kid.’
’Your whole family are kids!’
"Oh, so it’s Fang Xiu!"
"I’ve heard of him!"
"I didn’t expect him to be so young!"
"And so handsome!"
"Hey now, Old Lu, you’re in your forties. You’re not getting ideas about the young man, are you?"
