Chapter 1409: Chapter 681: Force Devil Cicada!

“Even if you really fight against Yan Luo, it’s not certain that you can defeat him!”

Upon saying this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

“Shi’er, you’ve grown up now; the principles have been explained to you, and you should be clear about what you ought to do.”

“Remember, what you do should not be about fearing someone’s disappointment, but about whether these actions will affect the future of the family!”

“I know you’re stubborn and may not heed my advice, and yet you must enter the upcoming duel.”

“As your father, I do not wish for you to become a sinner of the family!”

Yang Shi, upon hearing these words, was filled with deep disappointment.

After so many years, his own father still remained as timid and fearful as ever, always hesitant in his actions.

His uncle was the same, just that when dealing with other family members, his uncle was much harsher than his father.

Yang Shi refused to believe that even if he defeated Yan Luo, what more could Yan Luo say!

If Yan Luo is truly a disciple of Saint Creator Qixing, he shouldn’t have such a petty mindset, right!

Listening to his father’s words, if it weren’t for being selected by the official Second World, the family would still restrict him from participating in the upcoming duel.

Realizing this, Yang Shi suddenly felt a surge of hatred towards his own family; upon leaving the family’s territory, he made a decision–that he must defeat Yan Luo no matter what!

If he leaves the family, in the Second World, he would need to gain more popularity to support himself.

The Buzzing Club had been inviting him to join as a main player, but Yang Shi had not reported this to his family nor discussed it with them.

Yang Shi was well aware that if he proposed this to his family, they would likely reject him; his uncle did not wish for him to grow at all.

As a strong contender for the next Family Head, he was far stronger than his wastrel elder brother; it was certain that his uncle would prefer his own flesh and blood to become the Clan Leader.

If only his father’s character were not so soft and complacent, his current situation would be much better!

Yang Shi already had the idea of temporarily leaving the family’s control to join the Buzzing Club.

Letting himself intentionally lose to Yan Luo in the duel was absolutely impossible!

To prove himself to the Buzzing Club, not only does Yang Shi need to avoid losing, but he must also win splendidly!

Having made his decision, Yang Shi’s heart was free from any burden.

The preparation time quickly passed, and Fang Mu returned to the Battle Hall.

The moment Fang Mu stood on the battlefield, intense shouts erupted.

“Yan Luo, you were too awesome in the last match! You must win this duel too; we’re looking forward to seeing you become the first to step into the Hall Stage!”

Such shouts filled the Arena, resounding continuously with no issue.

Because Fang Mu’s recent duel was indeed spectacular, many spectators were still immersed in the afterglow and had not snapped back to reality.

Yang Shi almost arrived at the Battle Hall the same time as Fang Mu; the cheers for Fang Mu provoked Yang Shi, making him feel like he had become the antagonist.

As if being defeated by Fang Mu was what everyone desired.

If it were before Yang Shi’s father came to him proposing that Yang Shi should lose to Yan Luo, he would not have developed negative emotions upon feeling the atmosphere of the venue; at most he would have lamented Yan Luo’s high popularity!

But now, the combination of the two matters ignited the anger that Yang Shi had barely managed to suppress.

Yang Shi didn’t greet Fang Mu as Lu Ye and Shi Chengfeng did previously but directly summoned his Main Battle Mystic Beast.

A huge nearly three-meter-long cicada with a body resembling a layer of steel armor appeared, reflecting a strong metallic luster under the light.

The long spikes growing on the armor were sharp and fierce, seemingly capable of piercing everything around it with ease.

The spider Guardian Beast with bright red limbs continuously sprayed dark red webbing from the moment it was summoned, floating around, and in no time covered about one-third of the field.

As soon as these two Insect Beasts were summoned, they began to emit an aura unique to the peak of Diamond-Level Guardian Beasts.

The presence of the two Diamond-Level peak Guardian Beasts swept across the venue, finally shifting the audience’s anticipation for Yan Luo to a new discussion.

“Seriously? What’s up with the Second World officials? How did they match Yan Luo with such a formidable opponent? With two Diamond-Level peak Guardian Beasts, such strength would be among the top even in the age group of twenty to thirty, right?”

“I’ve figured it out; the person in charge of the battle division clearly doesn’t want Yan Luo to advance to the Hall Stage; there’s no fight for Yan Luo in this duel!”

“I recognize the person dueling Yan Luo; his two Guardian Beasts are not simple. In the last battle, he even deployed a particular mysterious Destiny Guardian Beast, allowing him to instantly defeat the opponent’s Diamond-Level peak Mystic Beast!”

Yang Shi was far more famous than Lu Ye and Shi Chengfeng; the live broadcast viewers were basically questioning the Second World officials’ arrangement, feeling that there is a so-called conspiracy present.
