Chapter 24: The Beast Court

Fang Mingze’s face was filled with eagerness as he said, “I am so fortunate to be able to taste Grandmaster Wang’s cooking today!”

It didn’t matter if the dishes were good or bad. For ordinary people, it was a great honor for a Grandmaster to personally cook for them.

Wang Yi was selecting spiritual food in the system space. Given Fang Mingze’s situation, it would not be easy for him to reach the peak of Rank-3 with just one meal.

He could not use spiritual food with spirit qi that was too strong and violent. After all, with Fang Mingze’s physique and strength, he would not be able to withstand it at all.

Spiritual food with ordinary and mild spirit qi wouldn’t do either. Although it could help him raise his strength, the effects wouldn’t be that good either. He definitely wouldn’t reach the peak of Rank-3.

However, it was fortunate that Wang Yi had managed to hunt quite a number of beasts this time. Otherwise, he would have really lost face today.

As Wang Yi continued to pick his ingredients, corpses of ferocious beasts appeared out of thin air in the room. After being sliced, they disappeared one by one.

More and more spiritual food also appeared on the chopping board. Soon, the chopping board was filled to the brim with all sorts of colorful lights.

Meanwhile, Fang Mingze was completely stunned by Wang Yi’s methods.

How did five-meter-tall beasts suddenly appear and disappear?

Also, was that python-shaped beast covered in a scarlet red color, a Rank-6 red-striped python?

In this short period of time, Wang Yi had taken out more than ten types of beasts, three of which were at Rank-6.

Bang!

As Wang Yi waved his hand again, the entire room seemed to tremble. Then, a ten-meter-tall beast corpse appeared out of thin air with a dull thud.

There was also a faint pressure exuding from its body.

Fang Mingze had yet to recover from his shock and was once again stunned.

What did he see?

He saw a Scarlet Blood Tyrant Lion!

It was a Rank-7 Beastmaster!

Even if he was mistaken, the pressure exuded by a beast’s corpse would never lie. Such pressure could only be felt from beasts that had reached Rank-7.

Looking at the complete appearance of the beast’s corpse, it was actually killed in one strike. Moreover, with this degree of freshness, it was definitely killed not long ago.

Most likely, even his father, a Rank-7 grandmaster who was the Guardian of Cang City, would only have a 50-50 chance against this Scarlet Blood Tyrant Lion. Even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory, let alone killing it in one strike.

One had to be at least a Rank-9 grandmaster to be able to kill it in one hit, right?

A Rank-8 grandmaster could kill a Scarlet Blood Tyrant Lion, but the kill would definitely not be that clean.

How did this person do it? Did he kill it himself? Or did he have a Rank-9 expert backing him?

If this person had a Rank-9 great grandmaster backing him, then his disdain towards Zhao Tianlin was understandable. It was also natural that he was able to advance and become a grandmaster at such a young age.

If this person was the one who killed the Scarlet Blood Tyrant Lion, it would be terrifying. He would have to reevaluate the strength of Grandmaster Wang.

Regardless of which reason it was, this person was really not simple. Zhao Tianlin was probably going to be in trouble.

Fang Mingze had too many questions and doubts.

It didn’t matter how the corpses of ferocious beasts disappeared and reappeared out of thin air. What mattered the most was the unfathomable strength and background of this person, Fang Mingze had many doubts on his mind.

At this moment, Wang Yi seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it harder for others to see him clearly.

Of course, this was all done on purpose by Wang Yi. Otherwise, to raise Fang Mingze to the peak of Rank-3, would he really have to use a Rank-7 Beastmaster? Even a Rank-6 spiritual food would probably be too much.

The most important thing was still to show off his skills. After all, after settling the trouble of Zhao Tianlin, the Su Family still had to develop on their own.

Meanwhile, as a native family of Cang City, it would definitely be beneficial for the Guardian’s family to have the resources to guard the prefecture.

With Wang Yi around, it would be easy for the Su family to surpass the Guardian’s family in a short period of time.

However, the Su family’s foundation was not enough to support such a huge leap.

Actually, there were many ways to show off his skills, but what Wang Yi was doing now was the most troublesome method and had the worst effect.

The simplest solution was for Wang Yi to go to the Guardian’s Residence and show off his supreme grandmaster aura. There was no need to elaborate on what would happen next. Fang Yuan would simply know what to do.

All in all, it was Fang Mingze who had left a good impression on Wang Yi. That was why Wang Yi was willing to go through so much trouble.

Even so, Fang Mingze’s eyes shone with a different light, and his attitude became more cautious.

While Wang Yi was packing the spiritual food, his mouth was not idle. He asked casually, “Did your father teach you your cultivation technique?”

Although Wang Yi spoke casually, Fang Mingze did not dare to speak casually to Wang Yi. He kept thinking deeply to see if Wang Yi had any hidden intentions.

For example, right now, Fang Mingze was confused as to what this person meant.

Was Wang Yi coveting his cultivation technique?

That shouldn’t be the case. After all, Wang Yi knew his limits.

The cultivation methods of his family were definitely top quality in the Battle Soldier Rank. The speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy far surpassed those at the same level, allowing him to quickly advance.

However, it was only the Battle Soldier Rank. Since the cultivation method had no follow-up methods, after breaking through to the Battle Warrior Rank, one had to change their cultivation method. Thus, it wasn’t as precious as one would think.

Meanwhile, one could imagine how precious Wang Yi’s cultivation technique was, for him to be able to achieve the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age. Thus, Fang Mingze’s cultivation technique was really not worthy of his attention.

What did this Grandmaster Wang mean? It was hard to say. Fang Mingze could only answer honestly, “Grandmaster Wang, you are right. This ‘Dragon Subduing Pillar’ cultivation technique was indeed passed down by my father to me. It is a technique that my father cultivated when he was young!”

Wang Yi nodded and did not express his opinion. It was as he had guessed.

Even a grandmaster’s cultivation technique was only this efficient when he was young. It seemed that the martial arts in this world were not as strong as he had imagined.

Of course, it was also possible that the circle he had come into contact with was simply too small. Once he left Cang City and went to the Langya Region, he might encounter a completely different scenery.

Perhaps the dojos there would be even more prosperous. Experts would be as common as clouds, and there would be as many top-notch experts as dogs. Connate-Realm cultivators would probably be everywhere as well.

However, it was also possible that the martial arts level of the entire world was about the same as Cang City.

But of course, Wang Yi truly had no idea. Who could say for sure?

Actually, for Wang Yi, it would be best if he could just stay in Cang City forever and not attract any attention. He could quietly sign in until he fully developed and became invincible. Only then would he come out and introduce himself to the world.

At that time, no matter what kind of demons or monsters he encountered, and no matter who was the strongest in the martial path, he would be able to deal with them with a single slap.

It would not be like that time in Langya County City, where he could only run away helplessly after sensing the aura of a Connate-Realm expert.

Although it was just on the way and he didn’t take it to heart at that time, he still felt somewhat stifled.

As the true qi in Wang Yi’s hands surged, the countless pieces of spiritual meat shrank and the spirit qi emitted from them grew denser.

Wang Yi only stopped when all the spiritual meat became the size of a thumb.

Then, he pointed his finger like a sword. A strand of sharp true qi seeped out from his fingertip like a sharp carving knife.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a flick of his finger, countless pieces of spiritual meat transformed into miniature ferocious beasts. They were extremely lifelike, and each piece of spiritual meat transformed into the corresponding appearance of the creature when it was still alive.

Wang Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “This dish I made is called the ‘Beast Court!'”
