Chapter 40: The Weeping Monster

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Taotie’s descendant?!”

Everyone looked at Zhou Anqi in shock, their pupils widening from the news!

Since the New Era, many mythical creatures have revived in the Dragon Country.

The reputation of the four ancient ferocious beasts stormed the world like thunder!

In the history books, there was a special introduction to these four beasts.

They were Taotie, Hundun, Taowu, and Qiong Qi!

In the past 100 years, the arrival of the four ancient ferocious beasts had caused great destruction to the Dragon Country and caused extremely great harm to the people of the Dragon Country!

Every time they descended, they would turn the place into ruins and turn it into a ghost town!

For the humans who lived in the land of descent, they became the targets of the mutated beasts to be tortured, played, and cooked!

The scene was shocking. Their scalps went numb and they could not look straight at it!

Some of the female students turned pale and vomited when they saw the photos.

These photos had all been screened, so they were not as bloody.

At the thought of this, everyone’s anger skyrocketed. They looked at the Row Owl’s face with fear and trepidation.

“I heard stories from my dad too.” Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhou Anqi slowly said, “You guys are unfamiliar with the name Roe Owl, but you guys might know the other names… Because of their cries, everyone calls them the weeping monsters!”

Everyone was stunned!

In the mountain range of the Iron Peak Mountain, there was a group of powerful strange beasts. They often went down the mountain to rob the nearby human towns.

However, due to the large number of mutated beasts in the mountain, everyone had long forgotten about it. However, the name weeping monster was simple and easy to remember, so they had some impression of it.

Zhou Anqi stared at the monster in the middle of the arena and continued, “It isn’t as bad as it seems. This weeping monster in front of us is only a Level One exotic beast. If it breaks through to the second stage, it will be even more difficult for us to kill it.

“After the weeping monster breaks through, it will awaken a powerful innate ability, the Sound Wave Attack!

“When it was at Level One, the baby’s cries were only ear-piercing and deafening.

“But at Level Two, it’ll activate a Spell Domain attack skill, and its ear-piercing power will greatly increase!”

Zhou Anqi recalled what her father had told her before. “As a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast, the weeping monster is born with a strong blood essence and a strong body. Be it strength, speed, or defense, it far surpasses mutated beasts of the same realm. It’s extremely difficult to deal with!

“Legend has it that when the weeping monster advances to a high level, it will eat its limbs and body bit by bit, leaving only its head and mouth. It will evolve into an ancient ferocious beast and become Taotie!”

Everyone was shocked and enlightened. They finally understood why Luo Chaoxiang lost.

Luo Chaoxiang had just become a Late Stage Rank One martial artist not long ago, but the weeping monster in front of him had a strong vitality. It was obvious that it had been in Late Stage Rank One for a long time.

“I think I know why the school arranged for this boss,” Chu Lingjun said slowly, “We may be geniuses in our class, but they are showing us that there are also geniuses among the mutated beasts!

“This is to remind us not to be arrogant and conceited. There’s always someone better than us out there in the world!

“Only by defeating the geniuses of the mutated beast race can we have the right to be proud and complacent.”

Everyone nodded solemnly. Although there were many exotic beasts on the way into the mountain, it was easy to deal with.

The appearance of the weeping monster in front of them immediately shattered the arrogance that slowly rose in their heads!

At the campsite at the foot of the mountain…

“The principal actually caught a weeping monster… He really put in a lot of effort.”

“This weeping monster in front of us is at the Late Stage of Rank One while these students are only at the Middle Stage of Rank One. Wouldn’t it be too difficult to handle such a case?”

“You don’t understand. Although the weeping monster is strong, it is alone.”

“There are nearly ten of them there.”

“There’s no point in releasing a Middle Stage Level One weeping monster. It’ll be killed in an instant. What’s the point of training if there are no challenges?”

“I agree with that,” Shen Yanhu said, “Encountering setbacks should be common in order for one to grow. This group of students is naturally talented. If everything goes smoothly and their path is smooth… It will only develop their arrogance. Only appropriate setbacks can motivate them to grow. Besides, isn’t it very common to encounter exotic beasts that are stronger than you in the wild? This was also a form of cultivation for their mental state!”

“That is true! A little setback shouldn’t discourage them. No matter how talented these students are, their future is limited if they give up.”

The teachers around him nodded in agreement.

Over the years, they have taught many students and met many geniuses. Among them, many genius students destroyed their futures because they were too arrogant! They hoped that these students would not meet the same fate!

…

After listening to Zhou Anqi’s, everyone looked at the weeping monster in front of them with serious expressions.

At the same time, the atmosphere around them became a little strange.

Because they could see that there was only one weeping monster and they had 10 people.

Although the weeping monster was strong, if they fought one after another, the weeping monster would definitely die.

The problem was that because it was a rotation battle, who went up first and who went up last would make a big difference!

If the previous person just happened to exhaust the weeping monster until it had no strength, then wouldn’t the second person be able to steal the kill?

At the thought of this, Luo Chaoxiang and Chen Zhiqi, who were sitting next to him, suddenly turned black!

The two of them no longer had the strength to fight and did not want to be cannon fodder to scout the way.

“Anqi, your fire power is amazing. This monster is a good opponent, do you want to give it a try?” At this moment, one of the top students from Class Two smiled at Zhou Anqi.

“Get lost.” Although she had a bad temper, she was not st*pid. She glared at the person from Class Two. “If you want to go, go yourself. If you don’t want to go, then shut up! Otherwise, I’ll burn you until you’re bald!”

The boy from Class Two who spoke suddenly changed his expression. He covered his hair and retreated resentfully.

After the small interlude, the atmosphere quieted down. Everyone looked at each other, but no one went on stage.

Chu Lingjun swept his gaze across the crowd. He casually squatted down and grabbed a few things from the ground before stuffing them into his pocket.

Then, he walked out of the crowd and walked towards the arena.

Everyone immediately turned to look at Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun met everyone’s gaze and smiled. “Since no one dares to go up, then let me do it!”
