Chapter 32: Don’t Guess the Thoughts of the Naughty Child
Everyone outside the arena was taken aback, thinking that the little toddler was about to take the opportunity to deliver a killer move, which was clearly prohibited.
Although it was acknowledged that swords and sabers have no eyes in the heat of battle, if one party lost the ability to fight, the other must cease their attack. Continuing to attempt a killing blow would result in being stripped of one’s cultivation.
The judge from Myriad Beasts Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, his True Qi swelling, ready to leap into the Arena Space at any moment to strip that bear cub of his cultivation.
The judges from Domineering Sword Sect and Demon Saber Sect also cast their gaze, intent or otherwise, upon Long Yufei, preparing to intervene should she attempt to rescue the child. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sudden emergence of a toddler capable of easily defeating Blood Wolf was not a good thing for the three major powers.
If they could take this opportunity to cripple him, it would please all three powers.
Long Yufei’s expression remained unchanged, knowing that the little one would not kill. She was not at all worried about this.
She was just curious about what the little one was running off to do.
In the entire venue, only the elder sister Chu Xin was not preoccupied with this matter. She still had five giant wolves to deal with, too busy to care about what was happening in the Arena Space.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Chu Chen appeared beside Blood Wolf and fed him an elixir from the Sumeru Ring. After a moment, Blood Wolf slowly opened his eyes and awakened.
"Did that little toddler actually revive Blood Wolf?"
"After all, he’s still just a kid, so kind-hearted."
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Including the Myriad Beasts Sect’s judge, who had stood up ready to rush into the Arena Space to strip Chu Chen of his cultivation. He too found it hard to believe.
He had seen countless Lanzhou competitions, seen countless acts of deceit, but had never before seen someone attempt to rescue their opponent before the match was officially declared over.
If such a thing occurred with a youth, people would merely curse him for being foolish.
But happening with a three-year-old toddler, everyone was moved by his innocence and kindness.
"You!"
Seeing Chu Chen, Blood Wolf got a fright, suddenly flipped up, and quickly backed away, taking a defensive stance. Then, realizing his wounds seemed to have healed, he understood that Chu Chen had saved him and his expression grew complicated.
Strictly speaking, the two were enemies.
Being saved by one’s enemy, he wasn’t sure how to feel.
Chu Chen, however, didn’t entertain so many thoughts. His face bursting with excitement, he said, "You’re finally awake, quick, quick, quick, let’s continue."
"Continue?"
Blood Wolf was taken aback. Did this little brat spend an elixir to wake him up just to continue the fight?
Is there something wrong with this kid’s brain?
Blood Wolf was speechless, shook his head, and said, "I’m not fighting anymore."
His Pet Beasts were all killed, what’s the point in fighting anymore?
Was he really to duke it out with fists and feet as a frail Beast Tamer against this bear cub?
"That’s not okay."
Chu Chen became anxious, urging, "Just release all your big dogs."
Big dogs?
They mean Pet Beasts, right?
Blood Wolf was startled for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "Gone."
Gone?
Chu Chen was taken aback, shaking his head in disbelief and saying, "I don’t believe it. Last time you had twenty or thirty of them, how can there be only six this time? Six isn’t enough for us to eat."
"Not enough to eat?"
Blood Wolf froze. He seemed to grasp something, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Chu Chen, asking incredulously, "Did you wake me up just so I’d summon more Pet Beasts for you to kill and eat?"
"Yeah, hurry up, don’t dawdle, bring as many as you have. Both my sister and I can eat a lot," Chu Chen nodded matter-of-factly.
"You... pfft!"
Blood Wolf grew red in the face with anger, and the next moment, he violently spewed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed once again.
"Hey, hey, hey, you’re not about to pass out again, are you?"
Chu Chen arrived in an instant, peeking his little head over at the Blood Wolf lying on the ground with its chest heaving rapidly, its gaze filled with indignation. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, good, it hasn’t fainted. Otherwise, I would’ve wasted another elixir."
Having said that, a talisman suddenly appeared in his chubby little hands and with a slap, it was affixed to the forehead of the Blood Wolf.
"Do you have any big dogs left?"
Chu Chen asked, his face full of hope.
"None!"
The Blood Wolf’s gaze was dull, but its lips subconsciously uttered two words.
"None?"
Chu Chen’s little brow furrowed, then he asked again, "Right, aren’t they called pet beasts? Do you have any pet beasts left? The more, the better."
"None!"
The Blood Wolf still emotionlessly spat out two words.
"Then it seems you really don’t have any left."
Chu Chen scratched his own bun hairstyle and his plump little face showed disappointment.
With a wave of his chubby hand, the talisman detached from the forehead of the Blood Wolf and automatically turned to ashes in mid-air.
Talismans are one-time consumables, vanishing after use.
The Blood Wolf, although its body was out of control just now, was conscious and naturally understood what had happened. It flipped to sitting position and pointed at Chu Chen, roaring furiously, "You brat, to humiliate me like this! Pfft!"
After the roar, it spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, then fell face-up and passed out again.
"If you had said you had no pet beasts, I wouldn’t have wasted an elixir and a Truth Talisman, really annoying."
Chu Chen waved his chubby little fists at the unconscious Blood Wolf, his plump little face full of annoyance.
The crowd outside the arena all wore speechless expressions, originally assuming the kid to be pure and kind-hearted, even willing to save his own opponent.
To think he only revived the opponent to have them summon more pet beasts for him to kill and eat.
This had nothing to do with being pure and kind-hearted; he was just a completely unbearable brat, a terrifying little demon.
Indeed, you can never guess what a brat is thinking.
"Hmph!"
The Myriad Beasts Sect’s judge snorted coldly, his face darkening as he sat back down in his seat.
Although the actions of that brat were truly detestable, he hadn’t violated any competition rules, so there was nothing the judge could do.
The judges from the Domineering Sword Sect and the Demon Saber Sect exchanged glances, both praying their sect disciples would never encounter that brat.
A female guard looked back, and after seeing Long Yufei nod slightly, she stepped onto the stage, waved her hand to close the Arena Space, and announced, "The first round of the ninth fight of the first arena in Lanzhou City, the winner is Ai Kaorou from Roast Meat Village."
"Roast Meat Village? Ai Kaorou?"
Hearing this name, everyone knew it was fake, but it was quite fitting for that brat.
Chu Chen looked up at the female guard and said with a cheeky grin, "Auntie, come over for some roast meat later."
"Sure."
The female guard nodded, her face filled with a smile.
"Brother, come quickly, I’m hungry for some roast meat."
At that moment, Chu Xin’s milky voice rang out.
"Okay, sister, I’m coming."
Chu Chen responded and leaped to land in front of the grill, started skillfully roasting meat on site.
As for the unconscious Blood Wolf, the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect would carry it away.
The judge and the head elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect were both deeply somber. The Blood Wolf was the second Heavenly Pride of the Myriad Beasts Sect and could have easily made it into the top ten, if not for that brat making it so he didn’t even enter the top hundred, naturally losing the qualification to enter the Secret Realm.
That wretched brat.
From the elders to the common disciples in the Myriad Beasts Sect, they all looked fiercely towards Chu Chen.
But seeing Chu Chen intently grilling the pet beast of the Blood Wolf, their blood pressure surged, almost exploding on the spot.
