Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3016 - Tuition Fees

Ji Qianqian's expression began shifting more and more. She uncontrollably cried from the divine wonder's suppression, feeling her astrons implode one after another. "Who dares to touch me!? Big Brother Huang! Save me!"

She panicked as her body shuddered, completely losing control even though she had been fantasizing about her ambitions just a moment ago. Yet the Grand Xia Lexicon's pressure only got heavier and more savage.

Ji Qianqian's astral organs were crumbling. Her perfect body was being turned into a pile of crushed bone and flesh, losing every bit of its alluring shape. As she struggled in terror, many words formed right before her eyes that read If you step on others to climb, others will step on you. In your next life, make sure to be wiser. If you’d been smart enough to pull the same seductive trick against me, perhaps you might’ve lucked out and risen to prominence like you planned.

Tianming had used the Xia words to form the message for Ji Qianqian. She finally knew who was attacking her and was completely stumped. Even now, she hadn't wizened up to the fact that Tianming wasn’t someone she could prey on.

"You’d better not say things that you can't back up! Big Brother Huang will kill you dead!" She immediately relaxed when she learned that Tianming was the one doing this to her and even wanted to laugh.

However, you’ll die faster than that. He’ll also die! The words immediately turned into black smoke.

Ji Qianqian wanted to laugh, but she found that she couldn't. The grand lexicon wonder's power surged, causing the words to pierce into her body like swords. Tianming couldn't care less if she was a pretty girl; she was nothing more than a mass of astrons.

"Aaaaah" Ji Qianqian's expression contorted as death descended upon her. She really didn't think that she would die before achieving her ambitions. She’d been mostly guaranteed a spot in Myriadpath Valley after having stolen Tianming's galactic starbeast, yet her greed had brought her downfall.

"No! No! Big Brother Huang...." Her eyes widened more and more, making for quite the interesting expression as her body continued its collapse. She hadn't imagined that Tianming would be so powerful.

"Waaaaah!" This was only the first step in the plan she had drafted for countless years before coming to Myriadpath Valley! But it had all been for naught! At the crescendo of her cries, her body exploded from the pressure of the Xia words. Her three cosmic charts were also instantly ground to dust and her astron-filled body exploded into fireworks right as Huang Jihuang turned back to watch!

Ji Qianqian was dead for good. Almost immediately, Tianming's points rose to seven thousand, ascending toward the top twenty. It was rare for a black name to rise so high. The change in rankings made it clear that the divine wonder that had killed Ji Qianqian was unquestionably his. She herself knew that and immediately regretted making that horrible bet right before her moment of death.

More shocked than her was Huang Jihuang. He hadn't even gotten a taste of that beauty yet, only for Tianming to turn her into dust! The expression of a greedy hunter that he wore was frozen on his face. All that bravado had been for the sake of Ji Qianqian. Without her looking on, what would be the point? He hadn't even managed to kill his prey before the beauty he was trying to impress ended up dead. Who would he show off to next? The old men up in Skyward Hall?

"How dare an animal from some random mundus kill my people before me, a member of an ancient house! And in Myriadpath Valley no less?!" Huang Jihuang snapped his head back toward Tianming, glaring at him with rage that was mirrored by the crimson flames on his head. His mind was blown that something so ridiculous could happen!

The white-haired youth in front of him turned around and smirked, black smog filling his eyes with violent desires. Squinting, he glared at Huang Jihuang and chuckled, "You think that was egregious? I still plan to kill you."

"What kind of joke are you spouting?!" Huang Jihuang was shocked that a newcomer outsider would dare to talk about killing him, a disciple of an ancient house! The only conceivable explanation for it all was that Tianming had absolutely gone bonkers from the pressure of being hunted and was just desperately struggling while he still could.

"Fuck!" What made Huang Jihuang even more speechless was how Tianming had provoked him, and even made the first move!

The Grand-Orient Sword appeared in Tianming's hand. He was facing off against a sixth-level cosmic cartographer from Myriadpath Valley, one of the most talented people of his age. So he decided to use his full force to see how he measured up against inner valley disciples like him!

He manifested his totems; nowadays, he barely used them as they were. Before they even took full form, he sent them into the Grand-Orient Sword. "Ji Ji, come!"

"Fine. How annoying. Why do you even need my help against a small fry like him?" Ji Ji rolled its eyes. Right after it said that, a pink star the size of a hundred thousand meters in diameter left the lifebound space and entered Tianming's body. It was a form of Spiritual Attachment. The energy from Ji Ji congregated around Ying Huo and the rest and gave Tianming a blinding pink glow. Even the black smog in his eyes surged with bright pink.

The storm-like power coursed through his heptastar cosmic physique, empowering his totems and cosmic impulses more and more! He was the strongest he had been, and he hadn't even used Yin Chen yet.

Huang Jihuang couldn't help but sense that Tianming was no doubt a top genius as well, and a really powerful one that, much as he tried to ignore it. "Hmph." He grit his teeth as he watched the white-haired youth charge toward him with his sword.

"You might have a few tricks up your sleeves, but they’ve made you overconfident. It's a shame that your tuition fees will go to waste once you disappear here without getting anything out of Myriadpath Valley." Huang Jihuang was a specter, a skyghoul at that! He also had a unique aspect: the golden leopard!
