Chapter 148 Duel
Shi Li was dazed at this moment.
How could Xiong Ye be a Beast King? Xiong Ye actually turned out to be a Beast King?
He fell into a trance, and it was like he’d returned back to his past life.
At that time, they’d cultivated together, and after Xiong Ye had finally become a Beast King, it had taken him another two years before he became one as well. As for their life after that… although he could fight to a draw every time they sparred, he actually knew that his strength wasn’t equal to Xiong Ye’s.
Xiong Ye had never stopped cultivating even after becoming a Beast King. He was a fool… they clearly didn’t need to hunt anymore, but he still insisted on hunting.
Xiong Ye was a person who didn’t know how to enjoy life!
Shi Li couldn’t breathe when he thought about his past life. Xiong Ye was always better than him, leaving Shi Li with a big mountain of pressure resting over him and making him feeling uneasy.
Later, after they’d been Beast Kings for nearly 50 years, Xiong Ye died from old age, and he was finally able to relax. But he’d been useless by then, too!
After his rebirth, one of the things that gave him the most satisfaction was that the Xiong Ye of this period was doomed to be inferior to him in terms of strength.
He really couldn’t wait to show off in front of Xiong Ye after becoming a Beast King.
Yet as a result… Xiong Ye had actually also become a Beast King?
The nightmare that had taken a lot of effort to drive away reappeared, and Shi Li’s expression was extremely ugly.
However, Shen Yue, whose strength wasn’t very strong, just had to insist on trying to persuade Xiong Ye, “Are you the Big Bear Tribe’s tribal chief? Don’t do foolish things…”
What kind of foolish business was this! This was another Beast King! Shi Li wanted to roar at Shen Yue, but it was too shameful… Shi Li was still caught up about what to say when Xiong Ye ignored Shen Yue’s advice and continued, “I want a duel with you. Do you accept or not?”
Shi Li didn’t want to agree. His Beast King powers weren’t stable! As for Xiong Ye… no matter how Xiong Ye managed to become a Beast King, his strength would always be solid.
Shi Li wanted to refuse, but the ordinary people around them couldn’t feel Xiong Ye’s strength and were even saying, “Is this person crazy? He actually wants to fight the Lion Beast King.”
“Is what the Lion Beast King said just now true?”
“The people of the Big Bear Tribe all listen to that Zhou Ji… Then is Zhou Ji’s high position really because he’s together with the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father?”
“He’s male… Why would two men be together?”
“That Zhou Ji looks pretty good.”
……
The Beast Kings who had followed behind Shi Li all heard these comments and were merely left speechless, but Xiong Ye grew furious when he heard them.
Xiong Ye abruptly transformed into his animal form, sending a wave of powerful energy into the people around them with a hard stomp of his leg. Those gossipers were impacted by this energy and pushed into continuous retreat, while others fell backwards onto their butts.
Even the humble house nearby collapsed.
The huge brown bear was still dissatisfied, sending out a roar that rang out in all directions. That mouth that was big enough to eat a person whole with a single bite, scared a whole bunch of people into peeing themselves.
Shen Yue also nearly fell over, color draining from her face.
However, the people of the Big Bear Tribe were fine–Xiong Ye had practiced control over his energy by hulling rice every day and could completely control his strength to avoid hurting the people of the Big Bear Tribe.
“Xiong Ye, it’s alright. Don’t be angry.” Zhou Ji laughed as he coaxed Xiong Ye, then spoke to the people around them, “I hope that everyone will stop talking nonsense. I can receive such good treatment in the Big Bear Tribe because my mate is a Beast King.”
The people around them: “……” They could see that now!
Zhou Ji pointed to Hai Feng and continued, “As for this person, he’s not the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father at all, but he has an adoptive relationship with the Rhinoceros Beast King’s son. I have nothing going on with him.”
The people around them: “……” So it turned out to be like that!
Hai Feng was afraid that Zhou Ji would no longer concern himself with him because of all the random nonsense that was spreading and didn’t hesitate to clarify, “We have something! We agreed before! I’ll listen to you in the future, and you’ll protect my life.”
“……” Zhou Ji amended, “Yes, we have something. Our relationship is that he’s my follower.”
The people around them: “…….” They could see that!
Rhinoceros Beast King: Zhou Ji was really impressive, he even clarified for him while he was at it. But what exactly was this business with about Hai Feng being Zhou Ji’s follower? Hai Feng, have you forgotten that you’re a Beast King? You’re actually someone else’s follower despite being a Beast King!?
The Rhinoceros Beast King’s gaze was complex as he looked at Zhou Ji.
He had long known that Zhou Ji was also a Beast King, and a very powerful one at that. Now, it seemed… Zhou Ji might be even stronger than he’d thought.
Hai Feng’s strength might be unknown to the people around them, but everyone could see Xiong Ye’s strength now–he was such a big bear and was certainly a Beast King!
Not to mention that while Hai Feng wasn’t very attractive, Xiong Ye was very handsome.
Zhou Ji was Xiong Ye’s mate. How could he hook up with Hai Feng? It could only make sense if Hai Feng was Xiong Ye’s follower! Wasn’t it obvious in the way Hai Feng was carrying the things that Zhou Ji had traded for?
The Lion Beast King was really talking nonsense. No wonder the other party wanted to fight!
Those people who had been frightened by Xiong Ye no longer dared to become angry at him now. After all, they had actually dared to comment on a Beast King’s mate earlier.
It was already considered kind for Xiong Ye not to have done anything to them!
At this time, they secretly detested Shi Li–if it wasn’t for the Lion Beast King’s nonsense, how would they have ended up nearly offending a Beast King?!
The Rhinoceros Beast King said, “Lion Beast King, your thoughts are too dirty. I became good friends with that Beast King because he saved my son, and their tribal chief is a Beast King.”
The Ape Beast King followed with, “Lion Beast King, you’ve always said that the Big Bear Tribe was very poor and weak. It seems that it’s not the case…”
Shi Li wanted to spit up blood. He also didn’t know what was going on!
At this time, the Beast Kings no longer concerned themselves with Shi Li. Instead, they turned to the Rhinoceros Beast King, “I didn’t expect that there was another Beast King.”
“The youth now are all so amazing!”
The Ape Beast King was even more straightforward, “Rhinoceros Beast King, you weren’t forthcoming at all! You didn’t tell us about such a big thing!”
The Rhinoceros Beast King replied, “They are low-key.”
While they were talking, Xiong Ye shouted at Shi Li once again, “Shi Li, duel!”
Xiong Ye roared and called everyone’s attention back to him and Shi Li. A few of the Beast Kings even said, “Shi Li, you insulted someone else’s mate earlier, which is really wrong. It’s understandable that others would want to duel with you… This kind of thing can only be resolved with a fight.”
“I’ve always wanted to know what the Lion Beast King’s combat power is like. Lion Beast King, let us have a look!”
“Although this new Bear Beast King’s animal form can’t be compared to the Rhinoceros Beast King, it’s still really big. He must be very strong!”
……
Everyone around them agreed with these Beast King’s words.
Looking at how Xiong Ye was the size of a small hill, they all felt that the Bear Beast King was very strong.
They also hoped that this Bear Beast King could beat the Lion Beast King up once–if it wasn’t for the Lion Beast King, how could they have offended the Bear Beast King?
Everyone wanted to see Shi Li fight against Xiong Ye, but Shi Li didn’t want to fight.
He knew he would lose.
“Xiong Ye, we grew up together. I won’t fight with you.” Shi Li said.
Beast Kings could speak while in their animal forms. The huge brown bear looked at Shi Li and said, “We’ve often fought despite growing up together.”
Shi Li said, “You hid your strength before and caused me to misunderstand. This is your fault.”
“You could have asked me directly, but you can’t insult my mate!” Xiong Ye said.
Shi Li said, “Xiong Ye! Are you insisting on protecting that Zhou Ji? Clearly…” He was really extremely angry now–why was Xiong Ye so good to Zhou Ji?
Shi Li and Xiong Ye were still arguing, but Hai Feng couldn’t stand it any more, “Why do you guys have so much to say? Can’t you be a little more direct?” Fight! Just start fighting!
Xiong Ye also felt that it was pointless to talk endlessly and reached out to grab Shi Li.
Shi Li spoke again, “Not here. There’s too many people here, and others might be harmed!”
The Ape Beast King suggested, “Then we’ll change to a different location… go to the barley fields to the south of here. The Rhinoceros Beast King ate up the barley there, and it hasn’t been replanted yet. It’s empty right now.”
Shi Li: “……”
“Let’s go!” Xiong Ye went ahead first, and everyone that was standing in his way fled.
When the people of the Big Bear Tribe saw this scene, they immediately moved the reclining chair over and offered it to Zhou Ji, “Zhou Ji, shall we carry you there?”
They were already used to carrying Zhou Ji everywhere…
Zhou Ji didn’t refuse, “Alright.” Later, he’d be able to lay down and watch the play unfold while everyone else was standing…
The crowd made a grand entrance into the barley field.
Zhou Ji was the target of envy the entire way.
“This Zhou Ji of the Big Bear Tribe is really lucky to have a Beast King as a mate.”
“They’re really very good to him… they carried him the whole way just like that.”
“If only I could also have a Beast King as a mate!”
……
Zhou Ji quite enjoyed being envied.
When everyone arrived at the barley field, Xiong Ye repeated himself, “Shi Li, come and fight!”
He would definitely lose face in the eyes of the public if he refused again. Shi Li could only change into his animal form and say, “Xiong Ye, I consider you as a friend. What happened earlier was my fault… Hit me then, I won’t fight back.”
Shi Li felt that as long as he lowered his attitude now, Xiong Ye definitely wouldn’t hit him.
But he’d thought wrong.
Xiong Ye was very angry at the moment. He grabbed Shi Li and then punched him flying.
Sent him flying…
The huge lion fell into the barley field and created a crater around him… everyone was stunned.
Things were going so fast that they couldn’t react to it.
The Lion Beast King was defeated just like that?
Xiong Ye also felt that it was outside of this expectations. He said to Shi Li, “Get up, come and fight!”
Shi Li didn’t dare to fight against Xiong Ye and could only say, “I will not fight you…”
“I want to beat you!” Xiong Ye said. He didn’t wait for Shi Li to reply and rushed straight at Shi Li…
Shi Li was tossed out by Xiong Ye once again.
With this move, not only did Xiong Ye feel that it was pointless, even the people watching felt that it was very boring.
This Lion Beast King was a little too useless, wasn’t he? The Bear Beast King was upset because his mate had been misunderstood and wanted to fight, but what about him? He was tossed away twice but still refused to fight!
Zhou Ji knew why Shi Li didn’t dare to fight, but he still said, “Shi Li, is it that you simply don’t want to fight, or that you know that you can’t win so therefore don’t want to fight?”
“It must be that he knows he can’t win and therefore doesn’t dare to fight. He’s never been able to win against Xiong Ye even as a child!” Xiong Qi quipped.
If Shi Li hadn’t already turned into his animal form, his expression would definitely be black.
