The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 488 - 430: Taming the Source Stone? (Part 3)

Chapter 488: Chapter 430: Taming the Source Stone? (Part 3)

But at this moment.

As he finished watching Jiang Nalan’s battle, Lin Guang suddenly felt a rare emotion rising from his heart, one that shouldn’t appear at this time.

A sense of anger and discomfort bubbling up from within.

Lin Guang put his hand down and let out a long breath.

"It’s very vague, and language can’t adequately describe it."

Lin Guang’s words drew the attention of the three people around him.

"What do you mean?"

"You should know that the Jiang Family’s core inheritance, [Wave Unceasing], requires charging up, right?"

— He was referring to the time during the joint exam when Jiang Xinyue used it.

Vishdair and Lisa, and even Chelina, nodded.

"Just now, to instantly defeat his opponent without using a Mystical Technique, he was a bit hasty and used a bit more force."

"The aura of Spiritual Power and talent leaked out, and I could feel it."

Lin Guang said seriously, "It gave me a... very sickening feeling."

"It’s not that he’s so powerful."

"It’s just that his current state inexplicably makes me uncomfortable."

These words left the three girls in a daze.

Vishdair couldn’t help but ask, "Even in your current status, you find it disgusting?"

"How disgusting can it be?"

Lin Guang, in the past, would never target someone with whom he had no real animosity because of some vague feeling, let alone in his current emotionally detached status.

"..."

"Maybe it’s just an illusion."

Lin Guang did not persist.

"Let’s watch the next match."

.........

What they didn’t know was.

At this moment, throughout the Secret Realm, it wasn’t just Lin Guang who had such a reactive response.

In the viewing arena of the Central Floating Island, although about to go on stage soon, Yin Long, who was still watching among the crowd, suddenly showed the same look of disgust and anger as Lin Guang. His golden eyes, always calm and noble like a dragon, now resembled someone who had seen something very filthy.

And on the high Floating Island.

After a moment of surprise, a group of True Men directly fixed their gazes on Jiang Wencha.

"So this is your Jiang family’s ’Celestial Pride’?"

A hot-tempered True Man, who looked youthful, showed a mocking expression: "That’s really quite nauseating."

"No wonder you said he doesn’t fear Lin Guang... now I see what you meant by that."

"During the Celestial Ladder Mountain inheritance, he wasn’t like this. What on earth have you done in the past six months?"

However, at this moment, Jiang Wencha’s face remained expressionless, only showing a calm demeanor as he said softly, "This is Nalan’s own choice."

"His own choice?"

A burly True Man from a humble background furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but retort: "When you say that, don’t you find it laughable yourself?"

"As if he really had a choice."

"Does this violate any rules?"

Jiang Wencha looked at him, his blue hair floating slightly: "The provincial competition, the national league, are meant to select those with the potential to reach the peak of greatness."

"Having one top-tier strongman is more useful than a hundred mediocre ones."

"Wanting strength, wanting to counter the advantage of the Demon Race, doing so without any sacrifice is impossible."

He said coldly, "If you don’t want to sacrifice, my Jiang family will, and it’s not your place to criticize."

And this time.

Even the high-ranking Seven-Star, Tier Seven individuals kept silent.

...

Nighttime

Within the Secret Realm.

The starry night was dazzling.

With the cheers of the audience, heartfelt farewell speeches from the hosts and commentators, and a fireworks display, the third round of the provincial competition officially concluded.

The next event will be three days later.

The audience left the venue for their accommodations, while the residents of Fenghai Province, who watched from afar, were satisfied and moved on to other activities or continued to discuss online with reluctance.

The time in the Secret Realm moved into nighttime as well, with only eight constellation emblems remaining in the starry sky, all radiating a brilliant array of colors.

This signifies that this year’s top eight contenders have been determined.

And it almost completely matches the predictions made at the beginning, except for Zhao Yue being eliminated by Lin Guang. The four Celestial Kings and the remaining Celestial Prides-led teams crushed their way into the next round.

This also means the competition in the following three rounds will be absolutely fierce.

Aside from Jiang Nalan and Zuo Qingtian facing relatively mediocre opponents, Yin Long and Lin Guang must face off against Celestial Pride level opponents again.

Li Hai City’s Dragon Taming Middle School vs Shunyin Private Middle School

Zhen Sheng City Experimental School vs Kunxu Middle School

However, this round had the least controversy online.

Because, whether it was Yin Long against Liu Shuwen, or Lin Guang against the Heaven-slaying Demon, everyone seemed to have little disagreement.

The Heaven-slaying Demon’s fighting style is indeed aggressive and straightforward, incredibly powerful, but his expectations and regular performances are actually on par with Zhao Yue, Du Qing, Liu Shuwen, and others.

And his teammates had a similar setup to that of Big Dream Middle School.

Since Zhao Yue was easily defeated, it seems the same could happen to the Heaven-slaying Demon.

As for Yin Long...

This year’s provincial contestant is arguably the most mysterious, yet also the one with the most subtle calls for victory. His record of swiftly defeating opponents is more efficient and baffling than anyone else’s.

Even when facing Gao Haoran from Earth Evil Sect in this round, he simply made a launching action, and the opponent was eliminated.

In short, no one can comprehend it.

But generally, everyone holds a pessimistic view regarding Liu Shuwen.

The ultimate outcome will likely be the four Celestial Kings advancing to the semifinals, marking the fifth round as the true beginning of an exciting and fierce battle.

And in this heated atmosphere.

Two days passed quietly.
