Novel Bin Chapter 214 - Taming Of The Beasts
The components of the showdown were first, the taming of the beasts. In this round, the participants would be choosing a beast available in the arena and tame it. The beasts\' cultivations were only at the first stage of the Immortal Realm, with no exceptions, to ensure the fairness of the game. The tamers could do anything to tame their chosen beast. Whether they wanted to use pills to enchant them, or either beat them into a pulp. However, as the proud Immortal Beasts, perhaps even if you beat them to death, they would not be tamed.
Second, those who tamed a beast would advance to the second round with their tamed beast, the actual showdown! Here, the beasts would fight it out against another beast in a free-for-all match. The meaning was that those who succeeded will fight each other in the arena and the last man standing would be the victor! Of course, that included the Zaoyu Tamer Guild\'s participant.
5 minutes had passed. The arena was now filled with beasts that kept howling in a grievance. One look and everyone already deduced that these beasts were not yet tamed! Judging by the furious roars and their hideous and glaring eyes, they must have been forced into participating here.
The participants of the other powerhouses could not help but shiver. Although they were also Immortals and master tamers, these vicious beasts were not something to be trifled with as much as possible! They wondered if there was still a chance to back down?
On Jin Rou\'s side, he noticed that Lang Zing\'s eyes were filled indignation and nervousness, that his face looked pale.
Jin Rou could not help but ask, "Are you okay?"
"Young Master Jin..." Lang Zing\'s eyes wanted to cry, but no tears came, "My pavilion just sent me a message, and they said that I will be the one participating so that we will not lose face!"
Lang Zing tugged in Jin Rou\'s robe with a saddened look and desperation, "My pavilion wants me to be the cannon fodder! With my strength of Emperor Realm, they want me to tame an Immortal Beast? They are seeking my death too fast! I just ran away for a short while, yet this is my punishment?"
Just a while ago, a message via telepathy had reached Lang Zing\'s mind and it came from the Pavilion Master of Terrace Everland Pavilion. It said that whether he likes it or not, he would be representing the pavilion in the Showdown of the Beasts. It also said that no matter if he wins or loses, as long as he participated. Anyone with a bit brain would think that this was ridiculous! To let a brat take part in an event where Immortal Beasts must be tamed. Aren\'t you pulling everyone\'s legs here? Lang Zing was just an Emperor Realm cultivator while those were Immortal Beasts! There were more than a whole realm gap between the two. Although taming a beast with higher cultivation than the tamer could be possible, it\'s not possible all the time and mostly failed. If we were talking about chances here, there were only 1% chance of taming a beast with higher cultivation.
Zin Shi was also baffled. Isn\'t that ridiculous? Does the pavilion have no master tamers to spare thus they want to let Lang Zing represent them? For as much as she knew, there was even an 8-star master tamer in the pavilion itself! What could be the reason behind this action? She knew that there must be a profound reason for this. After all, the pavilion would not want to lose face in front of everyone.
"You should go." Jin Rou had already understood this move of the pavilion. And for sure, they have noticed it as well, or perhaps they were trying to test if their hypothesis is correct, "Just follow what they told you and you will get through this."
"Are you encouraging me or are you also sending me to death?" Lang Zing wanted to cry, but this was not the time to do so, "Whatever. If I die, so be it."
Thus, he stepped down from the audience\'s seat and walked into the arena, completely resigning to fate.
Soon, the participants started their taming job. Many had tried the taming by enchanting them with pills, valuable pills that could cost a hundred thousand rubies. However, it was not effective. The beasts did not even take a glance at them as if these beasts were looking down at them, completely not taking them in their eyes. Some had also tried to beat the beast down to make it submit to them. However, all they got were bruises and in fact, there were a few who could not stand anymore and just admit defeat.
It\'s just the first round, half of the 15 participants had been removed. Of course, when there were those who failed, there were also those who were seeing success.
"The Zaoyu Tamer Guild\'s Master Tamer Xeng have successfully tamed the 3-Headed Fire Lioness!"
Cheers and applause resounded. As expected of the tamer guild, they would be the first to tame one.
Master Tamer Xeng was a 6-star Master Tamer and the genius who also claimed the first spot of the showdown 5 years ago! This was the second time he was participating and the taming process today compared to 5 years ago had vast differences! But 5 years ago, he was only an Overlord Realm yet he managed to successfully tame an Immortal Beast. So of course, now that he was now an Immortal, the taming process would be easier.
"Good, good." The guild master smiled. As expected of someone from his guild. Xeng did not let him down.
After a while, 2 announcements have come into succession,
"The High Raven Sect\'s Master Tamer Beastfold have successfully tamed the Vicious Insect King!"
"The Last Palace\'s Master Tamer Fufe have successfully tamed the Medusa\'s Queen!"
After the 2 announcements came, the remaining participants tried switching targets. However, they still failed so they were now out of the game. As they also gave their best, they were still satisfied even they failed.
Only a single person remained standing, who had yet to move in his place since the very start of the round.
And yes, it was Lang Zing... whose legs were shivering.
