Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 51Book 4: : Child of Fortune

Vol 4 Chapter 51: Child of Fortune

“Very good...”

At the same time,

seeing his own disciple fall unconscious deep underground, the City Lord of Martial Emperor City sensed hostility coming from both the Ancient Kingdom and the Demon Court.

He shared the same thought as the Second Ancient Emperor: How is this a Beast Taming Sect cultivator from the Ancient Kingdom? How is this a Holy Son of the Demon Court? This is clearly, d*mn it, the heir of the Demonic Sky Sect. The Martial Emperor nearly cursed aloud.

“Stone Man Gu, hand it over.”

Lin Jing easily crushed the Martial Emperor’s successor, who had been ranked sixth on the Fortune Gold List, instantly seizing Wan Renzong’s fortune and taking his place among the top names.

It’s said that those who make it into the top ten of the Gold List are no different from the Child of Fortune of a world, and countless opportunities will fall into their laps.

Just recently, it was rumored that the Ancient Imperial Prince, having reached first place on the Gold List, had obtained an Immortal Technique inheritance from ancient ruins.

That’s no less than a demonic beast awakening a Rare Beast Divine Ability.

And that might just be one of many opportunities the Ancient Imperial Prince had gained lately.

Now, with Lin Jing rising to sixth place, someone else had to be bumped from the top ten.

Before Lin Jing headed to the Western Desert, the Gold List top ten included eight Nascent Soul Transformation cultivators and two Nascent Souls.

Now, with one of the two Nascent Souls having advanced to Nascent Soul Transformation, the top ten consisted of nine Nascent Soul Transformation cultivators and one Nascent Soul.

That remaining Nascent Soul was none other than Xu Qingyao, famed as the strongest Nascent Soul in the Beast Taming Dao. She had originally been ranked ninth, but when the tenth place advanced, she was pushed to tenth.

Now, with Lin Jing's forceful entry, Xu Qingyao was inevitably pushed down to eleventh place...

Xu Qingyao’s drop out of the top ten had initially made many assume it was due to some other prodigy reaching Nascent Soul Transformation. However, when they saw the name, they all paused in surprise.

Inside the Ancient Kingdom.

The Ancient Imperial Prince, the Ancient Clan Princess, the Dao Child of the Spirit Dao Sect...

In the Eastern Sea, the Crown Prince of Poseidon Palace, the Senior Sister of Water Moon Immortal Island...

In the Misty Forest, the Dragon Emperor’s personal disciple...

In the Cloud Sea Mountains, the Witch God Hall’s Holy Son...

In the Snow Plains, the Totem Holy Son...

One after another, the top ten fortune-touched prodigies stared silently at the new name.

“Mid Core Formation Stage.........”

“Why is someone at Mid Core Formation on the list...”

“Wan Renzong, the Martial Emperor’s successor... was defeated by the Holy Son of the Demon Court??”

At the moment, Lin Jing didn’t have time to mourn for Senior Sister. He believed that once she broke through to Nascent Soul Transformation, she would surely return to the top ten.

Right now, Lin Jing still had something important to do—to take his Stone Man Gu.

He condensed a large hand out of his tangible divine sense and dragged the unconscious Martial Emperor’s successor up from deep underground, pinning him to the sky. Then he began extracting the Stone Man Gu from his body!

“Aaahhh—”

A miserable cry rang out. Wan Renzong, though unconscious, couldn’t help but let out a painful wail. Upon seeing this, the three other Void Mystical Martial Emperor successors showed flashes of anger in their eyes.

“Stop!!!” they shouted in unison, trying to halt Lin Jing’s actions. But Lin Jing didn’t stop.

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor roared and appeared near Lin Jing, glaring death at the three Martial Emperor successors.

“You bet, you pay. What, can’t accept the loss?”

“Relax. Our Holy Son won’t take his life. He’s just taking the Gu, that’s all.”

The Stone Man Gu inside Wan Renzong was also at Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, but it had always been sealed.

Wan Renzong hadn’t possessed the Stone Man Gu long enough to properly use its power.

Now, Lin Jing violently tore open the seal. The Stone Man Gu immediately awakened.

This black earthworm-like Gu had just planned to cause chaos and escape, but then it sensed a terrifying divine sense locking onto it completely.

This divine sense made it tremble all over, as if it were facing the Gu God himself.

“H*ll, what’s going on...” thought the Stone Man Gu, shuddering.

“Be good.”

Then, Lin Jing used Divine Control Technique to suppress the Stone Man Gu into his hand.

The three Martial Emperor successors could only watch as Lin Jing pulled the Gu from Wan Renzong’s body.

But just as the Thunder Dragon Ancestor had said—this bet had been set by Wan Renzong and Lin Jing from the beginning.

Plenty of strong cultivators had witnessed it!

Sure, Martial Emperor City could renege, but... even if rumors said the Demon Court’s Demon Emperor was seriously injured and missing, the Martial Emperor himself had also gone missing after being seriously injured.

Even the Artifact Spirit of Martial Emperor City was nowhere to be found.

If they went back on the deal, it would inevitably lead to a direct clash with the Demon Court...

“Ridiculous. This agreement was improper from the start.”

Still, the Stone Man Gu was far too important to Martial Emperor City.

One of the Martial Emperor’s successors narrowed his eyes coldly—this Stone Man Gu had been given to Wan Renzong by him.

He had used it to forge an army of Stone Soldiers.

If Martial Emperor City lost the Stone Man Gu, their years of foundation would be destroyed, and the army would gradually go out of control. He couldn’t allow the Gu to fall into someone else’s hands.

He was just about to disregard the Thunder Dragon Ancestor and forcibly retrieve the Gu when—

a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear.

“Give it to him.”

This order, under normal circumstances, he would’ve ignored completely.

However, that familiar and weak voice made the Martial Emperor successor’s pupils shrink.

It was the long-missing Martial Emperor!

“Master…”

He was shocked, sensing the frailty in his master’s aura.

“I’m fine, just need some time to recover. That Stone Man Gu—let him have it. Since your junior gave it away himself, let him win it back himself.”

“Yes...” freewёbnoνel.com

The Martial Emperor’s chief disciple gave up on reclaiming the Gu.

He understood now—his master wanted to use this Holy Son of the Demon Court to sharpen the younger disciple, to give him motivation.

This battle would undoubtedly spread across the continent.

His junior Wan Renzong would be branded with endless shame.

But perhaps, that very shame would drive him to grow stronger...

“Let’s go.”

Having finished the duel, Lin Jing had no intention of lingering in Martial Emperor City.

He glanced at Feng Ning, Gao Sheng, and the others below, then stood once again atop the Thunder Dragon Ancestor—ready to get back to his true task.

Which was to find the Artifact Ghost.

Moments ago, his Demonic Divine Sense had swept the surroundings and discovered many hidden enemies.

Not just experts from Poseidon Palace and the Misty Forest—even Gu God Sect experts… quite a few had shown up.

But now wasn’t the time to fight.

His current lineup still wasn’t enough to kill those enemies.

Although Cold Moon Sword Immortal Feng Ning now had the power to slay Void Mystical cultivators, that was a power entrusted by her master for use against the Artifact Ghost and the Netherworld Hall.

Lin Jing didn’t feel comfortable asking the Sword Immortal to help kill personal enemies.

Besides, the ones here weren’t even the strongest of their factions.

Even if they were all killed, it wouldn’t solve much—only temporarily inflame tensions.

Of course, if those people didn’t know their place and dared to interfere in their search for the Artifact Ghost, then he wouldn’t hold back...

If that happened, and Cold Moon Sword Immortal borrowed the power of the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor to slay enemies—then it would be fully justified.

After all, finding the Artifact Ghost was the top priority.

Anyone who got in the way—must be eliminated!
