“Bear Saint King, you are not going to break your promise, are you?” After several failed attempts, Qin Ruogu played the emotional cards once again.

“No,” The black bear snorted. “I always keep my promise, but I’m soon going to completely fulfill the promise.”

Qin Ruogu’s eyes widened in an instant as he said incredulously, “What! You…”

The black bear laughed and suddenly leaped into the air. With a dash, he was on the stands belonging to Beast Trainer Sect in the next moment. Using both of his huge paws, he repeatedly pounded his own chest and roared, “I’m about to take my human form! ROARRRR!”

The people of Beast Trainer Sect turned deathly pale when they heard the thunderous announcement.

‘When you achieve the ability to take human form, that will be the time you can regain your freedom,’ was the promise made to the black bear by the founding sect leader of Beast Trainer Sect, and also the black bear’s promise to the sect.

From the day the black bear took his human form, he would no longer have anything to do with Beast Trainer Sect.

Had the day finally arrived?

…

After losing three matches in a row, it was official that Beast Trainer Sect was no longer the sixth-ranked sect with a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner. All its people were dejected as if their spines were suddenly taken away by someone, turning them into the walking dead.

The thousands of years of glory had been destroyed, becoming the stepping stone for someone else.

At this point, the leader of the fifth-ranked Blue Heaven Sect, Yu Changtai, thundered, “If I may ask, Sect Leader Yun, will you stop now or continue the challenge?”

This was the first time he had spoken, and the purpose of his question was to understand Yun Yang’s end goal. If Yun Yang and the others from Residence of Nine Supremes were satisfied with their current rank, then there was no need to fight the remaining matches. However, if they insisted on continuing the challenge, it meant that they were actually targeting higher ranking sects!

Yun Yang smiled. “Of course, we will continue the challenge! So far, there has not been a sect or individual who could defeat the Residence of Nine Supremes in any of the matches. Therefore, we will not stop advancing. Otherwise, we will just be looking down on ourselves.”

“What do you say, Sect Leader Qin?” asked Yu Changtai. “Are you going to give up the remaining two matches and admit defeat, or…”

His words were full of suggestions.

Eyes shot with blood, Qin Ruogu bellowed, “We will fight the fourth match! If Residence of Nine Supremes thinks it can defeat Beast Trainer Sect with a complete victory, it better prepare for a tough fight!”

Yun Yang stared at him with a mocking grin. “Sect Leader Qin, your decision is rather…harmful to others and lacking benefits for yourself.”

Qin Ruogu snorted, his face livid.

As Yun Yang had said, Qin Ruogu’s decision was indeed harmful to others and without benefits for himself.

Beast Trainer Sect had lost three matches in a row. According to the rules of best of five matches, its defeat was a foregone conclusion. Even if it won the fourth match, it would not return to its original position. The decision served only one purpose: to stop Residence of Nine Supremes from advancing further.

But in any case, Qin Ruogu had to fight this match.

Yun Yang had poached the black bear in front of him and destroyed Beast Trainer Sect’s strongest trump card. He could not just swallow this insult and do nothing.

“You had a secret conversation with Bear Saint King just now and used a dirty trick to defeat me without a fight! It’s true that I’ve lost according to the rules, but in the hearts of all the people of Beast Trainer Sect, we never lost this match!”

Qin Ruogu said in a loud voice, “If you win the fourth match, we will give up the fifth match. In our hearts, the fourth match is the final match that will decide the outcome and not the third match! Beast Trainer Sect will defeat Residence of Nine Supremes in a match with true strength!”

Many people of Beast Trainer Sect nodded when they heard that.

That was right!

Yun Yang had mysteriously won the match. Who would have believed that there was nothing fishy behind his victory? How could they be convinced of such an outcome?

Yun Yang laughed. “Well, how does Sect Leader Qin wish the fourth match be fought?”

There was a vicious look in Qin Ruogu’s eyes as he said, “We’ll fight with a match of mystical beasts!”

The audience burst into an uproar.

“A match of mystical beasts?”

“Beast Trainer Sect is famous for keeping mystical beasts, so it is normal for you to fight with them. But, the Residence of Nine Supremes was never a sect like you!”

“They don’t even have a mystical beast!”

“We’ve agreed that the fourth match is a match of free will,” said Qin Ruogu. “According to the rules, I have the right to choose the mode of combat, and I have decided for it to be a match of mystical beasts. We will fight with mystical beasts only. Let them decide the outcome in the field. It is the simplest and most direct method. Sect Leader Yun, you’ve won the third match because of the rules, so don’t tell me you are not going to respect the rules in the fourth match. Please summon your mystical beast, Sect Leader Yun.”

What he said seemed reasonable. Yun Yang had used a dirty trick to seduce the black bear and won the third match, so he could not complain when Qin Ruogu used the rules to win the fourth match now.

But, everyone from Residence of Nine Supremes, and even the people of other sects, rolled their eyes at the same time.

His reasoning was baseless. Putting aside the fact that he was somewhat shady in using a divine beast to fight the match of sect leaders, even if Yun Yang did seduce his mystical beast, so what? It was because he was not skillful enough and had weak control over his own mystical beast that the black bear was seduced by Yun Yang. If someone had to be blamed for this, it was he himself and not Yun Yang!

And now, because his mystical beast was poached, he became so exasperated that he was making such a scene here, unwilling to admit defeat and just wanting to stir up trouble. He was clearly bullying the Residence of Nine Supremes!

How could they fight this match? They simply did not have any mystical beasts, and yet he insisted on fighting a match of mystical beasts.

It was like a fat man who weighed three hundred catties bet with a skinny man who only weighed seventy catties, “Let’s bet who has more fat! Whoever has more wins!”

It was clearly cheating, a typical example of shamelessness!

Yun Yang was taken aback. “A match of mys-mystical beasts?” He stammered a little.

Qin Ruogu snorted and said darkly, “Please summon your mystical beast, Sect Leader Yun!”

There was a strange look on Yun Yang’s face. “If I don’t have a mystical beast…”

“Then you can admit defeat directly, and the battle between our sects will be over. There is no need for the fifth match to be carried out.”

Yun Yang’s face seemed to grow bitter when he heard that.

Looking at his expression, Qin Ruogu felt the pleasure in his heart soar. ‘You never expected you will have to face this, did you? Hahaha…’

“I know the Residence of Nine Supremes has many trump cards, so I’ll not push things too far. Let me give you a bonus: I’ll only send a King-level mystical beast, and if you can defeat it, you will have a complete victory.”

Before his voice had died away, a black light flashed and a fierce leopard, about seventy feet long and with colorful hair, appeared in the field. It roared into the sky after emerging, shaking its head and flicking its tail.

Yun Yang looked up at Huo Yunfeng. Clearly, he was asking for his opinion, or rather, asking for help.

Huo Yunfeng sighed; although he felt contempt for Qin Ruogu’s trick, it was still within the rules.

“Let the fourth match, the match of mystical beasts, begin!” His voice drifted off the stands. With the announcement, it meant that the match was allowed by the rules.
