“So which blind bat is it this time?” Lin Feng came out from within the house. He had coincidentally come to look for Shangguan Miao for a chat and he had heard the news that a challenge had been issued.
Volume 10
Chapter 985: “Challenger (1)”
Shangguan Miao was just one year younger than Lin Feng and due to the relationship between their fathers, the two of them had known each other from a very young age.
The Six Armed Black Ape that Shangguan Miao owned was even gifted to him by Lin Feng’s father, Lin Que, on Shangguan Miao’s tenth birthday when the Spirit Beast was still in its infancy. It had been carefully reared by Shangguan Miao to become incomparably strong now and the moment it had fully matured, Shangguan Miao had immediately brought it to the Spirit Beast Arena to show it off in all its glory.
“Reporting to Young Master Lin, it is a young youth who was brought there by the Deputy Hall Chief of the Fiery Blaze Clan, Qing Yu, and the boy’s name seems to be called Jun Xie, who isn’t a local resident of the Thousand Beast City.” The servant reported truthfully.
The moment the name Jun Xie was heard, Lin Feng’s eyes immediately burned in rage.
“It’s him?”
“Why? Brother Lin knows this person?” Shangguan Miao asked when he noticed Lin Feng’s reaction.
Lin Feng laughed coldly and said: “Of course I know him. How can I not know that boy? Remember the time I told you before, when Qu Ling Yue returned here, they brought back a young youth together with them? That boy had been called Jun Xie!”
Shangguan Miao was surprised. He knew very well the kind of intentions Lin Feng had towards Qu Ling Yue. But as Lin Feng’s father, Lin Que, had switched his allegiance to serve under the Great Grandaunt, his relations with the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, Qu Wen Hao, had inadvertently soured quite a bit, which had led Qu Ling Yue to have distanced herself from Lin Feng a lot as well.
“So it’s the same person? That’s just great.” Shangguan Miao said with a laugh of disdain. He gave Lin Feng a pat on the shoulder and continued to say: “Since this boy is not from our Thousand Beast City, we do not have to show him any courtesy. He dared to come challenge my Six Armed Black Ape so, just wait till tomorrow and I will definitely make him pay dearly. I think I won’t feed the Six Armed Black Ape today so it can eat up that kid’s Spirit Beast tomorrow, in revenge for him going against you.”
Lin Feng nodded. He had not liked Jun Xie the least bit and especially after he saw how gently Qu Ling Yue was when she spoke to Jun Xie, that sight had pricked at his eyes.
“I had heard it somewhere before, that in the Spirit Beast Arena, there had been occasions where the Spirit Beasts had harmed people. Is that true?” Lin Feng’s face was suddenly looking highly vicious.
Shangguan Miao immediately caught his meaning and he quickly replied: “When the battle gets too intense and the Spirit Beasts get overly excited by the overpowering stench of blood, some of them could naturally lose control. If in a state of frenzy and they run off the stage to cause harm upon someone, that is definitely a situation that is to be expected.”
Lin Feng’s face lit up with a malicious smile as he stared at the Six Armed Black Ape locked within the cage.
The Six Armed Black Ape was enormous in size, two sizes bigger than a full grown man. It had six thick, muscular and strong arms that were able to tear a tiger apart.
“That’s great. Since someone does not know his place, then let him have a good taste of the might of the Thousand Beast City. He really thinks just anybody can come to the Thousand Beast City’s Spirit Beast Arena and show off.” Lin Feng snorted in contempt.
Shangguan Miao then said with a laugh: “You just wait for my good news tomorrow. I guarantee that I will make the Six Armed Black Ape take good care of that Jun Xie and we’ll see the boy get completely frightened out of his wits. At that time, the news will then reach Qu Ling Yue’s ears and I highly doubt that she will continue to see any good in such a hopelessly timid and overconfident guy then.”
Shangguan Miao’s words elicited a loud guffaw out of Lin Feng.
“Then, I’ll count on you for that.”
“I’ll handle it all. Rest assured.”
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes sinister and malicious.
For Qu Ling Yue, he was certain that he would succeed in marrying her. No matter who was coming in to compete with him, he would not hold back in the slightest!
After the two youths planned out how the show tomorrow would play out, they did not bother with the Six Armed Black Ape anymore but just slipped their arm over each other’s shoulders and walked away to have dinner. Just with the time they took for that meal, they had almost thought through entirely how they were going to embarrass Jun Xie tomorrow!

Chapter 986: “Challenger (2)”
Early the next morning, Jun Wu Xie brought Lord Meh Meh with her, to go to the Spirit Beast Arena.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit had wanted to tag along but its body still had not fully recovered. Even when it whined pitifully and tried to act as cute as it could, Jun Wu Xie had remained stoically unmoved. So, it had had no choice but to stand by the window as it looked at Jun Wu Xie’s back, waving its little paw sadly.
Qing Yu had been waiting outside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall gates for a long while and when he saw Jun Xie appear, he gave sighed helplessly to himself.
“Are you really going to go there today?”
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Left with no other choice, Qing Yu sighed again in helplessness and led Jun Xie towards the Spirit Beast Arena in resignation.
Lord Meh Meh had been just awe inspiring in the Spirit Beast Arena yesterday and that had attracted the attention of quite a number of people. When everyone heard that the tiny low grade Spirit Beast actually had the guts to challenge the Spirit Beast Arena’s first ranked Six Armed Black Ape, many of them had all crowded together bright and early to come to the Spirit Beast Arena to catch the highly anticipated show.
The Six Armed Black Ape had never been defeated in all its past several rounds of battle and not a single Spirit Beast had been able to even harm it in the slightest. It can be said, among all the low grade Spirit Beasts, the Six Armed Black Ape could be counted as the most dominant ferocious beast. All those who had witnessed the Six Armed Black Ape’s ferocity before, were yearning to see the brutality of the Six Armed Black Ape once more.
Although it was still early in the morning, the Spirit Beast Arena was already overflowing with people. Besides the close attention they paid towards the Six Armed Black Ape, the crowd was also feeling highly curious about Jun Xie’s Lord Meh Meh.
All those people who saw Lord Meh Meh battle yesterday, had till now still not been able to comprehend, just how powerful was that soft and frail looking sheep was, that it had been able to scare away so many Spirit Beasts, just based on a single bleat at them.
Shangguan Miao had reached the Spirit Beast Arena very early. He stood below the battle platform with his companions crowded around him. As the Six Armed Black Ape was too large in size, it had not allowed to be brought in before its match was due to begin.
“He’s here! That’s the one! That’s Jun Xie!” A youth beside Shangguan Miao spotted Jun Xie, who had just walked in together with Qing Yu, and he immediately hollered, to tell Shangguan Miao about it.
Shangguan Miao’s eyes narrowed, as he looked over at the youth who had challenged him. With that one glance, it immediately caused the disdain curling at the corner of his lips to grow in intensity.
He only saw a delicate and frail looking youth, carrying a wooly sheep Spirit Beast that looked like it possessed absolutely no capability to attack. And as they entered the Spirit Beast Arena. Shangguan Miao’s gaze blatantly measured his opponent without hiding in the slightest, looking Jun Xie from head to toe, his disdain for his opponent obvious for all to see.
“His Spirit Beast, is it the one in his arms?” Shangguan Miao aske
d dismissively, as he stared at Lord Meh Meh within Jun Xie arms.
“That is the one.”
“Ha! That Spirit Beast was able to win ten consecutive matches! ? Wouldn’t that mean that there were only some cats and dogs here in the Spirit Beast Arena yesterday?” Shangguan Miao found it highly laughable, that a Spirit Beast like that would able to win ten consecutive matches. If word of this got out, wouldn’t it be such a joke?
“That Spirit Beast is rather strange. I heard from those who took part yesterday, that the Spirit Beast had not done anything on the arena battle platform, but only to bleat once at its opponent, and the Spirit Beasts had all fallen one by one twitching in fear, completely losing their ability to battle.”
“Oh? What does that mean? A bleat and it scared off the Spirit Beasts? I had not known that such a kind of Spirit Beast actually exists under the Heavens.” Shangguan Miao felt that those rumours were not to be believed. If victory could be gained that easily, then the Spirit Beast Arena should just be closed off! Who cared what really happened here yesterday, Shangguan Miao refused to believe a word of everything anyone said about it.

Chapter 987: “Challenger (3)”
When Shangguan Miao was measuring up Jun Xie, Qing Yu noticed his unfriendly gaze as well.
“That is your opponent today, Shangguan Miao. His father, Shangguan Yan is the Icy Frost Clan’s Deputy Hall Chief. That kid is on rather close terms with Lin Feng. When you first came to this city yesterday, do you remember that you met Lin Feng then? Lin Feng doesn’t really have a great personality and judging from Shangguan Miao’s demeanor, Lin Feng must have said something to him to make Shangguan Miao feel such animosity against you.” Qing Yu warned Jun Xie carefully. Truth to be told, he really did not wish that Jun Xie would go ahead with the match.
But Jun Xie instead shook his head.
“Don’t bother about him.”
If it’s the enemy, then there wouldn’t be anything much to care about. As long as they fell, that would be all that mattered.
Seeing that Jun Xie wasn’t bothered in the least, Qing Yu did not say anything else and only stood on one side quietly.
Whispers filled the entire arena everywhere as everyone waited for the great show to begin.
Very soon, the match was about to start, and according to the rules, Jun Xie and Shangguan Miao needed to bring their Spirit Beasts onto the stage.
Jun Wu Xie carried Lord Meh Meh and put it on the arena platform. Compared to yesterday’s dazed and confused reaction, Lord Meh Meh’s performance today could be said to be highly cooperative!
By now, it understood that as long as it stood within this place and bleated at other Spirit Beasts a few times, it would be rewarded with lotus leaves to eat. Hence, Lord Meh Meh was suddenly taking the initiative today. The moment it was put onto the stage, it immediately lifted its hooves and went tapping over to the middle of the stage, looking highly eager and excited.
Lord Meh Meh, with its round spherical body wobbled very adorably when it walked. But such cuteness, when exhibited upon the Spirit Beast Arena’s battle platform, wasn’t what the people in that place would come to admire. It only made them feel that the Spirit Beast really didn’t look to be any good, so how had it won ten consecutive matches then?
With all those doubts within, the people were hoping to see after Lord Meh Meh’s and the Six Armed Black Ape’s battle today, whether they would be able to spot the trick behind it. As no matter how much they thought about it, they could not understand, how such a dumb sheep could possibly possess any capabilities.
Shangguan Miao stared at Lord Meh Meh standing upon the stage and the corners of his mouth curled up in a sneer. He gestured with his chin at his companions and they immediately went to check on the Six Armed Black Ape.
The Six Armed Black Ape was locked in a huge iron cage as they pulled it in to come to the stage on a little trolley. It had just appeared in there when it was immediately agitated by the ever present stench of blood in the Spirit Battle Arena. Shangguan Miao had not fed it yesterday and it had come to the competition with a hungry stomach. With its bestial instincts aroused by both the stench of blood and its hunger, the beast was highly agitated.
“Roar! Roar!”
The Six Armed Black Ape in the iron cage was restless in its agitation as it rocked and pushed against the cage, rattling it loudly. It was enormous, like a small mountain. Every time it crashed into the cage, it seemed almost like the entire arena shook.
“Roar! !” The Six Armed Black Ape saw the little ball upon the battle platform, that snow white figure looking very much like the lambs it swallowed up everyday. The moment it spotted Lord Meh Meh, every single molecule within its body seemed to be screaming to swallow up its opponent, no matter who it was!
The loud and deafening roars pricked the ears of everyone within the arena where they began to hurt with a dull ache. The crowd looked on excitedly at the raging Six Armed Black Ape, their mood rising to a fevered pitch, influenced by the Six Armed Black Ape’s agitated rage!
To see the mightiest among the low grade Spirit Beasts, the Six Armed Black Ape, was really mind blowing!

Chapter 988: “Challenger (4)”
When the Six Armed Black Ape was released from its cage, it had immediately charged out from it. When its towering body stood upon the battle stage, it looked even more magnificent and imposing. Every one of its six arms was as thick as a man’s thigh as it pummeled itself on the chest, giving vent to the rage within!
“Roar! Roar!”
As the Six Armed Black Ape struck at its chest, the dull thumps could be clearly heard. With its mouth opened up to reveal sharp fangs, it ran around the battle stage as it let out more deafening roars, showing off its awe inspiring dominance.
The entire Spirit Beast Arena was silent, caught in rapture before the Six Armed Black Ape’s ear splitting roars, the sound getting everyone hopelessly excited.
Lord Meh Meh stood unmoving in its spot, looking utterly disgusted with the dumb Six Armed Black Ape that was already roaring its head off before the match had even begun.
Lord Meh Meh was thinking that it wouldn’t act so stupid like the monkey. Roaring like this even before the match begun would not win it anything to eat at all, what a dumb thing to do.
Completely unaffected by the Six Armed Black Ape’s threatening roars, Lord Meh Meh stood calmly in its spot without moving an inch. The crowd on all sides was getting highly riled up by the Six Armed Black Ape’s incessant roars but none of that concerned Lord Meh Meh in the least.
Shangguan Miao looked on with satisfaction at the Six Armed Black Ape’s fantastic condition. When nobody had dared to challenge it these few days, the Six Armed Black Ape had not had a chance to make an appearance, which had caused Shangguan Miao to lose the opportunity to show off his Spirit Beast’s glory. Now that someone had come knocking on the door to seek death, why would he want to hold back at all?
Shangguan Miao turned his gaze to look at Jun Xie with an evil glint in his eye. He could not seem to see that the young kid could be better than Lin Feng in anyway.
Lin Feng was the Icy Frost Clan’s Hall Chief’s son and his position and status in the Thousand Beast City was one that many people in the Thousand Beast City could compare to. This Jun Xie was not even from the Thousand Beast City and judging from his dressing, he did not even seem to be from any prominent families as well. That such a common looking little kid could even dream of competing against Lin Feng for Qu Ling Yue was just too laughable.
As time trickled by little by little, the starting bell for the match finally sounded!
The six burly arms of the Six Armed Black Ape were firmly planted on the ground, its body leaning slightly forward, staring maliciously at the completely defenceless sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The entire arena erupted with a series of roaring cheers. They were excited by the chance given to them to witness the brutal and gory m
assacre that was about to unfold before their eyes!
However, Lord Meh Meh remained standing firmly in its spot, just like it had in its last ten matches, its hooves not shifting by the tiniest fraction of an inch.
Suddenly, the Six Armed Black Ape charged directly towards Lord Meh Meh! Its six arms leaving many deep impressions that caved into the ground of the battle platform under its hands as it charged with all its might, looking every inch like an uncaged beast!
Everyone had thought that Lord Meh Meh’s legend would finally be put to an end in that place without a doubt in their mind.
Lord Meh Meh then opened its mouth towards the ferocious and merciless Six Armed Black Ape…..
“Meh.”
Charging forward with all its rage behind it, the Six Armed Black Ape had with just one highly unexceptional and harmless sounding bleat from Lord Meh Meh, suddenly seemed to have been struck by a thunderous lightning bolt, the body charging forward spasmed in several places in its sudden attempt to reverse its direction, all six hands digging hard into the ground the way it had come before!
‘Crack crack crack!’
A series of crisp sounding cracks resounded as the fingers of the Six Armed Black Ape dug deeply into the arena battle stage’s floor as it scrambled to stop its full powered charge!
Against the monumental drag of its powerful forward momentum, its palms had huge chunks of flesh torn off by the friction on the ground!
Its huge lumbering body finally screeched to a halt, at a distance of roughly half a metre away from Lord Meh Meh!
