“A battle technique?”

Chen Heng’s face was calm sitting upright in his seat. His gaze was fixed forward, and at this moment, he seemed to be deep in thought.

The battle techniques of Beastmasters were considered very precious in this world.

Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t easy to obtain them.

Chen Heng’s current identity was only that of an ordinary student in Dragon City Academy. It was still very difficult for him to obtain such things.

Therefore, if he wanted to obtain these things, he would probably have to go through some other means.

“I wonder if my current performance is enough to attract the attention of those sponsors…”

This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he sat in his seat. At this moment, he was also a little uncertain.

His previous painstaking performance also had a part of its purpose. It was to display his own excellence and strength so as to attract the attention of those powerful sponsors.

In this world, it was very normal for a Beastmaster to look for sponsors.

Generally speaking, as long as one entered Dragon City Academy, it meant that one had the qualifications to receive sponsors.

As long as one looked carefully, one would always be able to find one.

It was just that there was a big difference between looking for a sponsor on one’s own initiative and having sponsors to look for them.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Heng took the initiative to participate in these competitions, wanting to see if he could use his performance to attract some people to come to him.

In that case, he wouldn’t have to worry about the things that would come after.

Not only were there battle techniques, but there were also precious things like Imperial Beasts. He just didn’t know how his performance so far had been.

Up ahead, the battle was still ongoing. Qi Lin and Yang Ke continued to fight, each taking out their opponents easily.

Soon, the final name list was out.

After many rounds of elimination, in the end, only the last four people were still on the list— Chen Heng was one of them.

From his position, he roughly took a look. Among the last four people left, Qi Lin and Yang Ke were all present. The last person was an extremely unfamiliar person.

Among the contestants, this person could be considered outstanding, but he would be far inferior if compared with the rest.

At the very least, not to mention Qi Lin and Yang Ke, even compared to Chen Heng himself, he was still far inferior.

It could only be said that he was just a filler.

It could be imagined that if Rui Te had not been eliminated by Chen Heng, he would have been able to come here without many accidents. However, there were no ifs in this world.

Chen Heng raised his head and looked forward. On the screen in front of him, a few names intersected with each other, and soon they appeared.

In the end, Chen Heng’s name was finally displayed and appeared on the screen. Beside him, another name was— Yang Ke.

In the next match, Chen Heng’s opponent seemed to be the woman named Yang Ke. Seeing this, Chen Heng could not help but feel a little surprised. He subconsciously looked to the side.

In a corner far away, a woman with a cold expression was standing there with her arms crossed. She looked cold.

At this moment, she seemed to be looking at the list of names and had already seen the result. Then, she subconsciously turned around. Her gaze met Chen Heng’s and they intersected.

Their gazes quickly separated after meeting.

“Yang Ke, huh…”

Chen Heng looked at the figure of a woman in the distance and nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that after that stand just now, the attitudes of the people around him had also changed greatly.

At the very least, as Chen Heng walked, many people around him subconsciously lowered their heads. They did not dare to directly look at him as they did before.

He walked from where he was and walked all the way to the end of this area. Then, he left this area and walked out.

Soon, he returned to his place of work, the slaughterhouse from before.

“Why are you here so late today?”

In the familiar slaughterhouse, the manager in charge of this place was still waiting there. At this time, he seemed to be a little anxious, as if he had been waiting for Chen Heng for a long time.

“I got delayed by some matters.”

Standing in the same place and looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Heng smiled and then said softly, “Why? Are you busy here today?”

“There are a lot of new ones outside. We need to get rid of them immediately.”

In front of him, the middle-aged manager was a little distressed. He looked at Chen Heng, and said, “Had you still not come over, I’m prepared to do it myself.”

“Really? That’s a rare thing.”

Standing on the spot and looking at the middle-aged manager in front of him, Chen Heng smiled and said.

In front of him, the middle-aged manager was wearing a black robe on top of an apron and holding a kitchen knife. There seemed to be a hint of blood in his hand.

From the looks of it, he did not seem to be joking, but it was true.

Had Chen Heng come a little later, he might have really picked up the knife in his hand and rushed in to kill. That scene seemed quite interesting when he thought about it.

Beside him, a little girl stood there with a cold expression on her face.

The little girl looked young and cute, but the things she was doing at the moment definitely did not match her age. She was holding a black kitchen knife in her hand.

In front of her, the chickens whined, and almost every time, a life was lost in her hand. The whole scene was very bloody.

Chen Heng couldn’t help but take another look.

“Why are you here so early today?”

He looked at the girl next to him and said with a smile, “Don’t you have classes outside?”

“It’s a holiday today.”

A faint voice came from the side, sounding extremely cold.

The little girl heard Chen Heng’s voice. She slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Heng and answered him.

Although her voice was cold, Chen Heng did not care.

The little girl in front of him was none other than the daughter of the slaughterhouse manager. Her name was Fang Tian.

Although she was young, her martial strength was not considered weak. According to the standards of this world, her standard was equivalent to an Apprentice Martial Artist.

After a few more years, when her body grew, it was not improbable for her to become an Official Martial Artist.

At this level, she had the qualification to enter the Dragon City Academy.

This level didn’t seem to be a big deal.

Many of the opponents that Chen Heng faced before had this level of skill, but they were all easily defeated by Chen Heng, leaving no ripples at all.

But in reality, this level of skill wasn’t something that ordinary people could have. People who could have this level of skill could often be called geniuses.

Those people from before would appear weak, only in comparison to Chen Heng. But compared to others, they would not appear weak at all. They could even be said to be very strong.

Fang Tian was also Chen Heng’s main colleague during this period of time.

The slaughterhouse in front of him was indeed not well-liked, to the point that, as the slaughterhouse’s manager, Fang Yuan seemed to be unable to recruit enough people even to replace his own daughter.

This was not something that an ordinary person could do.

Just think about it.

To let his own daughter do the work of a butcher in the slaughterhouse was not something that an ordinary person could do. At least, Chen Heng felt that he should not be able to do it. Of course, he did not have a daughter either.

As Chen Heng walked on the road, various thoughts flashed through his mind. He was ready to walk to the side and take the kitchen knife and do the same thing as Fang Tian.

Sensing his actions, Fang Tian raised her head and glanced at Chen Heng. Then, she said, “If there’s nothing else, you can rest for a while. Senior Yang Ke isn’t easy to deal with.”

“You knew?”

Chen Heng was a little surprised. From the looks of it, the news of him participating in the competition had already been known by the people around him.

“I saw it occasionally…”

Fang Tian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still nodded. “Be careful. Don’t get hurt.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Chen Heng smiled and said softly, appearing very natural. “After I get the bonus, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“That is unnecessary.”

Fang Tian shook her head and said seriously, “Just be safe.”

She said very seriously. Although her expression did not change much, she still showed concern.

From the looks of it, the little girl was not too isolated. She also cared about the people around her. She just lacked expression.

“Looks like things are going well.”

Fang Yuan hid in a corner and looked at the interaction between Chen Heng and Fang Tian with a smile. He was very satisfied with this. “Looks like you can finally make a friend.”

The growth of his daughter was something that he, as a father, was very concerned about.

Before this, because of Fang Tian’s personality and the work atmosphere, she didn’t have many friends around her.
