Chapter 202 - Cream Of The Crop!
Chapter 202: Cream Of The Crop!
This man called Jing Lun was the person Zheng Weisheng hated the most.
This person was originally the nephew of the Lifeless Kingdom’s Demon Lord.
After the Lifeless Kingdom was conquered by Donghuang Ziyou, he followed his father and joined Donghuang Ziyou.
In order to maintain the stability of the Lifeless Kingdom, Donghuang Ziyou pardoned them.
Moreover, she allowed Jing Lun and his father to maintain their original status and identity.
It could be said that Jing Lun’s experience was almost identical to Zheng Weisheng’s.
Their statuses were equally matched.
And when it came to the conflict between the two of them, there was only one thing.
Two months ago, the two of them were at the Cherry Blossom Building, one of the ten great brothels in the southern region of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and had taken a fancy to the courtesan, Purple Moon Demon Concubine.
Purple Moon Demon Concubine was sexy and charming. She was drop-dead gorgeous.
After seeing her for the first time, Zheng Weisheng threw out thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy her.
Just as he thought that victory was in his grasp, Jing Lun threw out two thousand high-grade spirit stones and interfered.
Zheng Weisheng immediately revealed his identity.
Unexpectedly, Jing Lun was not afraid at all and also revealed his identity as the prince of the Lifeless Kingdom.
Instantly, the entire Cherry Blossom Building was filled with tension.
Neither of them was willing to back down. They both wanted to take the Purple Moon Demon Concubine away, so they started bidding on the spot.
In just a few rounds, the price was raised to an astonishing 25,000 high-grade spirit stones.
But even so, the bidding still showed no signs of stopping.
Seeing this, the two of them were enraged and almost drew their swords.
Because he knew that the two of them were extremely noble, and he was afraid of blowing things up, the boss of Cherry Blossom Building made a suggestion.
That was to let the Purple Moon Demon Concubine decide who she would go with. This reduced their anger greatly.
And the Purple Moon Demon Concubine was worried that choosing either side would offend the other.
So she gritted her teeth and hurt herself, but she didn’t choose any of them.
Zheng Weisheng and Jing Lun’s spirits were greatly dampened when they saw this, and they could only give up. This matter ended on a bad note.
However, the conflict between the two of them did not lessen at all.
When they met again today, they acted like enemies.
Jing Lun sat in the stands and said to a middle-aged man in black behind him,
“Today, we will use the Swift Shadow Demon Wolf to beat all our opponents to the ground!”
The middle-aged man in black was called Fu Feng. When he heard this, he pulled out a huge black demon wolf from behind and nodded. “Alright!”
Seeing this, Zheng Weisheng said, “Since you want to compete, let’s make the bet that everyone wants!”
He understood what Jing Lun meant. He wanted to crush his Phantom Demon Marten.
Jing Lun sneered. “The bet is very simple. Whoever loses will bow and call the other party master three times. Do you dare to bet?”
Zheng Weisheng agreed without thinking. “Alright! Best of three!”
After the two of them finished speaking, the entire arena fell silent.
As the princes of the two countries, their bet was exciting.
Not to mention, Ruan Rui, Zheng Weisheng’s subordinate, had already won ten rounds in a row and defeated all the experts present.
The only person who could challenge him now was Jing Lun.
Just as Ruan Rui and Fu Feng sent out the Phantom Demon Marten and the Swift Shadow Demon Wolf to prepare for the competition,
Lin Xuan walked into the arena under Ximen Tong’s lead.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on him.
What a handsome man. He was really the cream of the crop!
Everyone could not help but think so.
Because he had seen Lin Xuan in the Demon Palace previously, Zheng Weisheng hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Greetings, Consort!”
When Jing Lun heard this greeting, he immediately understood Lin Xuan’s identity and bowed as well.
“Prince Jing Lun of the Lifeless Kingdom greets the Consort!”
Everyone was shocked to see them bow.
So this peerless handsome man was Empress Mystic Ice’s man.
“Greetings, Consort!”
Thinking of this, the hundred thousand plus people present, afraid that they would neglect Lin Xuan, hurriedly stood up and bowed.
“Yes.” Lin Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Zheng Weisheng and Jing Lun and said, “You guys can continue.”
He had already heard Zheng Weisheng and Jing Lun’s bet at the door.
Furthermore, after entering, he could tell that Ruan Rui and Fu Feng were both beast taming experts.
In that case, he would let his precious daughters admire this high-level exchange of blows.
“Yes!”
Zheng Weisheng and Jing Lun immediately nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the tension between them was even stronger.
Because now, not only was it a matter of ego, but it also concerned who could show off in front of Lin Xuan.
In comparison, being able to win in front of Lin Xuan made them feel more motivated.
“Let’s begin!”
Then, the two of them looked at each other and ordered at the same time.
Phew ~
The Phantom Demon Marten and the Swift Shadow Demon Wolf started running at the same starting line.
Their race track was a specific spatial formation.
It seemed to be only five kilometers long, but in fact, it was nearly a hundred thousand kilometers long.
However, this distance was not far for high-level magical beasts.
After a short time, the Swift Shadow Demon Wolf took the lead and rushed past the finish line.
“I won the first round. Thank you for letting me win!” Jing Lun’s lips curled up.
Zheng Weisheng frowned and said to Ruan Rui, “Help me invite Master Huan over!”
The Master Huan he was referring to was naturally the strongest Beast Tamer in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, Huan Jiexiao.
Seeing Ruan Rui lose, Zheng Weisheng felt that only Huan Jiexiao could remedy the situation.
When he heard that Zheng Weisheng was going to invite Huan Jiexiao, Fu Feng, who was standing behind Jing Lun, revealed a hint of disdain.
Before long, Huan Jiexiao, who had received the “Demon Flash”, rode a flying magical beast to the arena.
After entering, he first bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan before coming to Zheng Weisheng.
Zheng Weisheng asked in a low voice, “Master Huan, can you use the Phantom Demon Marten to defeat the other party’s Swift Shadow Demon Wolf?”
Huan Jiexiao observed the two magical beasts and realized that they were equivalent to first-stage great demon beasts. He nodded and said,
“The two magical beasts are of similar strength. I can rely on my cultivation to let the Phantom Demon Marten win.”
“That’s good!” Zheng Weisheng revealed a look of relief. “Thank you!”
“Yes!” Huan Jiexiao nodded and forcefully controlled the Phantom Demon Marten’s mind to make it acknowledge him as its master again.
The second round officially began!
After Huan Jiexiao’s guidance, the Phantom Demon Marten unleashed all its potential and its speed increased greatly.
As expected, the Phantom Demon Marten won against the Swift Shadow Demon Wolf this time.
“Thank you for letting us win!” Zheng Weisheng also cupped his fists at Jing Lun.
Jing Lun revealed a teasing smile. “You’ve already revealed all your trump cards, right?”
He noticed that after Zheng Weisheng lost, he did not change his magical beast but invited Huan Jiexiao.
This meant that Zheng Weisheng did not have any other more powerful magical beasts.
