Chapter 1408: Chapter 680: The Final Opponent! _2

After explaining his situation, Chen Qing Shu also seriously answered the questions from Yan Luo.

Fang Mu raised an eyebrow at the content sent by Chen Qing Shu. Chen Qing Shu seemed to have been waiting for an opportunity, otherwise he wouldn’t prioritize Comprehending Mysterious Patterns over training his Guardian Beast.

It is known that enhancing a Guardian Beast is the best way to improve a Beast Master’s strength, Chen Qing Shu wants to prove himself through his insights into Mysterious Patterns.

[Yan Luo]: I am currently in the Dragon Rising Federation, you can discuss with your master. If it’s convenient, you can not only come to the Dragon Rising Federation yourself but also bring your master with you.

[Yan Luo]: After you arrive at the Dragon Rising Federation, just contact Jianmu Commerce Association!

Fang Mu’s reply to Chen Qing Shu was both an invitation and a bit of a self-introduction.

Chen Qing Shu’s master, being at a slightly higher level, would most likely have heard of Jianmu Commerce Association.

Even if Chen Qing Shu’s master didn’t know, it shouldn’t be hard to inquire about it, and then Chen Qing Shu’s master would naturally make a choice.

Fang Mu saw potential in Chen Qing Shu and intended to cultivate him.

Due to his master’s influence, Chen Qing Shu couldn’t make his own decisions, and most superiors exert control over their disciples when recruiting them.

Fang Mu didn’t want the target of his training to be controlled by others.

So, before including Chen Qing Shu under his wing, Fang Mu wanted to deal with Chen Qing Shu’s master first.

Fang Mu would still have to fight a third duel soon and wasn’t going to talk more with Chen Qing Shu here.

Whether Chen Qing Shu is willing to go to the Dragon Rising Federation is his own choice, and Fang Mu does not want to intervene too much.

In the Beastmaster world, it is not difficult to find young people with potential, but what is rare is access to high-level Beast Master resources.

It was by chance that Fang Mu invited Chen Qing Shu, which he considered fate.

During this halftime break, the name Yan Luo almost dominated the forum sections for those under twenty and those between twenty to thirty in the second world.

Two exhibition matches made Yan Luo the most dazzling star.

Lu Ye didn’t gain much popularity from the match with Yan Luo because Lu Ye lost too easily.

Shi Chengfeng had a high-quality fight with Yan Luo for six minutes, contributing an extremely fine duel.

Even though Shi Chengfeng ultimately lost the duel, he still gained a lot of popularity.

This popularity gain far exceeded Shi Chengfeng’s expectations; the only thing he regretted was that Yan Luo had not yet accepted his friend request.

Shi Chengfeng’s live streaming room had just opened, yet his fandom’s member count had already surpassed one hundred and fifty thousand.

This achievement was significantly better than many peers in the same age group, and it was all earned from just one duel!

Shi Chengfeng was also a beneficiary of this duel.

On Fang Mu’s side, because there were too many people adding Fang Mu as a friend, he didn’t notice Shi Chengfeng’s friend request.

Hu Tao, Liu Tiantian, and the two assistants Liu Tiantian brought were utterly overwhelmed.

Hu Tao muttered to herself that it was good to have Liu Tiantian’s help, or else she alone couldn’t handle such a situation.

Hu Tao had long known about Fang Mu’s strength and was not surprised by the power he showed.

The only surprise for Hu Tao would be if Fang Mu lost to an opponent.

Hu Tao had an indescribable confidence in Fang Mu, and the thought of going to the Battle Hall herself to compete arose in her heart.

Watching Fang Mu’s matches made Hu Tao’s blood boil, and Jiang Tuo, to accompany Hu Tao, did not go to the second world’s Battle Hall for a live viewing but joined Hu Tao in Fang Mu’s stream, watching from Fang Mu’s perspective.

Hu Tao chuckled and said to Jiang Tuo.

“Xiao Tuo, you’ve always said you wanted to duel Fang Mu, you should know by now that you’re no match!”

Jiang Tuo scratched his head upon hearing this.

“Sister Taozi, you’re teasing me again. My dueling with Brother Mu isn’t about winning or losing; I see Brother Mu as my idol!”

Who doesn’t love close encounters with their idols!?

To be honest, I’m a little worried about Brother Mu’s situation. Brother Mu has already been through a whole night of duels, and the strength of his upcoming opponents should not be underestimated even if they aren’t as strong as Brother Mu!

Such high-intensity duels are very mentally draining!

After a few high-intensity battles, if I were to fight again, my consciousness would become much slower than before.

Hu Tao said with great conviction.

Ah Mu has never been one to act without careful consideration; he must have already assessed his condition and deemed himself ready for the upcoming duels.

In the midst of speaking, Hu Tao couldn’t help but think of Fang Mu from a year ago.

That young man who dreamed of becoming a Beast Master is now shining brightly on the track of his dreams, becoming the center of attention for the whole event.

Fang Mu’s third round opponent, Yang Shi, had originally not taken the duel with Yan Luo seriously, as Yang Shi had never considered Yan Luo, a 17 or 18-year-old, to be in his league.

However, after witnessing Yan Luo’s duel with Shi Chengfeng, Yang Shi began to take the upcoming duel with Yan Luo seriously.

Because in Yang Shi’s eyes, Yan Luo had shown the strength of the Diamond Level Peak.

An opponent with Diamond Level Peak strength was already enough to pose a threat to him.

Moreover, Yang Shi had also realized that Fang Mu’s display of such strength at this time could very well mean that he had formed a contract with a Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beast.

If that was indeed the case, then Fang Mu, having contracted such a beast, must also possess other Guardian Beasts.

Yang Shi’s attention to Fang Mu wasn’t just due to himself but also had much to do with the power that Yang Shi belonged to.

However, the demand of Yang Shi’s power was not for Yang Shi to defeat his opponent at all costs, but rather, they did not wish for Yang Shi to beat Yan Luo in their duel.

Yang Shi’s power had already probed that Yan Luo was a person from the Dragon Rising Federation, and at such a young age in the Federation, it was very likely that he was the disciple of the Saint Creator Qixing, Jianmu.

Yan Luo could very well be just a cover for Jianmu.

Jianmu is now extremely famous among the various powers, partly because Fang Mu has the identity of a disciple of a Saint Creator, and partly because of Qixing’s minute love for Jianmu.

The incident at the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association caused a stir, and it made the various powers understand the extent to which Saint Creator Qixing would go for his disciple.

The Yang Family had never had contact with Jianmu and was not clear about Jianmu’s character. They feared that if Yang Shi defeated Jianmu in this battle, affecting Jianmu’s promotion to Diamond Rank, it could lead to Jianmu’s enmity!

If this matter alarmed Qixing, it could be bad!

Yang Shi expressed extreme anger at his family’s demands.

“Father, Uncle, what is the meaning of this? What do you mean I absolutely must not beat Yan Luo!?”

“Is the family really certain that Yan Luo is a disciple of Saint Creator Qixing!?”

The middle-aged man in front of Yang Shi spoke gravely.

“We can’t be certain; how could the family possibly confirm such a thing!?”

“Your uncle made such a decision because there is this possibility. Our Yang Family can be arrogant and unrestrained when facing other powers, but not in the face of a Saint Creator!”

“You must eliminate any chance of bringing trouble to the family as long as there is such a possibility!”

“Shi’er, the family has trained you from a young age, shouldn’t your father have to explain such simple reasoning to you again?”

Yang Shi, unwilling, asked the middle-aged man in front of him.

“Father, do you also think the decision Uncle made is the right one?”

“If it hadn’t been for Uncle framing you, the position of Family Head should have been yours.”

“If you were the Clan Leader of the family, would you make such a demand of me as well!?”

The middle-aged man in front of Yang Shi’s face kept changing, turning somewhat gloomy.

“Shi’er I have said, do not bring up such words again. If others heard what you said, how would you expect your father to carry himself in the family!?”
