After scanning him up and down, Teacher Xing Tian nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, many changes have occurred in you, subtle as they may be. If you participate in the competition with your current strength, your chances of obtaining the Blue Ice Stone will be higher."

Just as Teacher Xing Tian's voice fell, the Beast King walked out.

Looking at them, he said with a smile: "The purpose of my coming this time is to help Chen Ang obtain the Blue Ice Stone. I have already done my best; the rest depends on him."

"Beast King, don't worry, I will also do my best."

Hearing Chen Ang's solemn words, the Beast King patted him on the shoulder twice.

Two days later, the beast-race competition began again.

One hour before the competition, just as Chen Ang and the others were preparing to head to the arena, the demon-race people came knocking.

Sensing the demonic aura, Wan Shitong tightly furrowed his brows.

"Boss, why have the demon-race people come to the inn?"

"I don't know. Everyone staying here is a contestant. They came here; perhaps they are looking to stir up some trouble again."

Hearing Chen Ang's words, Wan Shitong gritted his teeth.

"At a time like this, they still harbor delusions of keeping the Blue Ice Stone! You guys wait, I'll go and meet them!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Ang hurriedly stopped him.

Before he could even speak, a knock on the door sounded from outside.

Hearing the sound, Huang Yu turned his head to look at Chen Ang, asking for his opinion.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ang nodded and let him open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the demon-race people filed in and then quickly closed the door.

After casting a glance around, they asked: "Are only you here? Where is the Beast King?"

Hearing his question, Chen Ang frowned.

"What business do you have with the Beast King?"

Seeing that it was he who spoke, the visitor hurriedly said: "We are not only looking for the Beast King, but we also want to find you."

"What business do you have with me?"

"A major matter, but it can only be said when both you and the Beast King are present."

While speaking, the tone of the demon-race people weakened, carrying a hint of ingratiation.

Sensing their change, Chen Ang felt a bit more curious.

After thinking it over, he said to Wan Shitong: "Go and invite the Beast King over."

Looking at the demon-race people, Wan Shitong did not want to leave.

Now that they had suddenly come knocking, he was worried they would attack Chen Ang.

Seeing through his thoughts, Chen Ang patted him on the shoulder twice.

"Don't worry, go find the Beast King."

Under Chen Ang's repeated urging, Wan Shitong finally turned and left.

After he left, the demon-race people sat down directly but did not speak.

It was very clear that what they wanted to say could only be said when Chen Ang and the Beast King were both present; they would not say a word if even one person was missing.

They were not in a hurry, and naturally, Chen Ang was not in a hurry either, so he sat to the side and waited patiently, wanting to know what their true purpose was in coming here.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the Beast King hurried over.

Seeing the demon-race people present, he subconsciously blocked the way in front of Chen Ang.

Sensing his protection, Chen Ang felt a warmth in his heart; he stood up and came to his side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Seeing that both of them had arrived, the demon-race people proposed another condition, requesting that the others withdraw.

With the Beast King present, Chen Ang was naturally not afraid, so he gave a look to Wan Shitong and the others, signaling them to withdraw first and keep watch outside.

After only a few people remained in the room, the Beast King frowned and spoke.

"What is your purpose in coming here? What exactly do you want with me?"

Hearing the unkindness in his tone, the visitor hurriedly stood up.

"Beast King, don't get angry yet; we have something to say."

Stepping forward, the demon-race person took an object out from his bosom.

Sensing this unusual aura, Chen Ang and the Beast King exchanged a glance, and the expressions of both changed.

When they saw clearly what the object was, both of their expressions were somewhat surprised.

"Why have you brought the Blue Ice Stone here?" Chen Ang asked.

Looking at him, the demon-race person said earnestly: "We have witnessed your strength and know that you are capable of making it to the end, so we specifically came to let you inspect the Blue Ice Stone, and by the way, express the sincerity of our demon race."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang raised his eyebrows.

The demon-race people have always been the most sinister; this does not seem like something they would do!

Just as Chen Ang was puzzled, the demon-race person said again: "Actually, we have long thought highly of the beast race and have always wanted to make contact with you, but we never had the opportunity, so we waited until now. Now that we have brought the Blue Ice Stone, we just want to express the sincerity of our demon race. If possible, our demon race is willing to be on good terms with the beast race in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Ang and the Beast King suddenly realized.

So they brought the Blue Ice Stone to curry favor with the beast race!

Chen Ang himself was not a member of the beast race and naturally had no say in this matter, so he cast his gaze on the Beast King's face.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, the Beast King's expression was calm; one could not tell if he was happy or angry. After hearing the demon-race person's words, he did not speak for a long time, maintaining silence throughout.

Seeing him like this, the demon-race person said some more nice things.

After a long while, the Beast King's gaze swept across their faces.

"Are you willing to be on good terms with us only because you value the strength of my beast-race people?"

"Yes, to tell you the truth, our demon race is very willing to associate with the strong. After witnessing the strength of the beast race, we have always wanted to find an opportunity to make contact with you."

Hearing their words, the Beast King felt some disdain in his heart.

In fact, he could see through this little scheme of the demon race clearly; they just saw that Chen Ang was strong and might eventually obtain the Blue Ice Stone, so they specifically ran over to sell a favor. After all, they had already taken the item out; they must want to get some benefits, right?

It is just a pity that their beast race did not care to associate with the demon race at all; even if the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, he would not even give it a glance.

Although he thought this way in his heart, the Beast King did not show his thoughts on the surface; instead, he nodded at them with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Then many thanks for the favor of the demon race."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang raised his eyebrows to the side.

"Our beast-race strength is average, and we still don't know if we can obtain the Blue Ice Stone in the end, so it is still too early to say some things. How about we talk after the final result comes out?"

Facing the other party's show of goodwill, the Beast King did not easily let go but instead pushed the matter to after the competition.

But the demon-race people had already come; how could they be willing to wait any longer? Hearing the Beast King's words, they eagerly said something else.

Seeing them so eager, the Beast King gently curled the corner of his mouth.

After looking at Chen Ang, he vaguely expressed his opinion.

Listening to his evasive words, Chen Ang held back his laughter so that the corners of his mouth would not curl up.

It must be said that the Beast King is truly a talent in this regard.

With the Beast King coming forward to deal with it, Chen Ang was happy to be idle and just sat quietly to the side to watch the show.

Because the Beast King never made a direct statement, this made the demon-race people somewhat anxious.

After a collision of topics, one of them blurted out: "Beast King, actually, among us, we have already decided that your beast race is the champion. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to bring the Blue Ice Stone here. We have already expressed our meaning very clearly; can you give us a direct answer?"

Hearing his words, the Beast King was not happy but angry; his face turned gloomy, which was somewhat frightening.

Sensing his change in mood, the demon-race people were also somewhat stunned. For a moment, they looked at each other, and no one dared to speak again.

When the room was silent, the Beast King said sonorously: "Since this is an open competition, it should uphold the principle of fairness and justice. Our beast race has reached this step by relying on our strength. You come to me now and say that we have already been decided as the champion; isn't this looking down on the strength of our beast race? I tell you, my people have the confidence to make it to the end; we don't need to go through your back door!"

Hearing his words, the demon-race people were somewhat dumbfounded.

They originally wanted to flatter him, but they didn't expect to end up kicking the horse's hoof instead?!

Just as they remained silent, the Beast King turned to Chen Ang and said: "The competition is about to start; you go over first."

Having already heard enough to be annoyed, Chen Ang simply stood up after hearing the Beast King's words.

"Compete well, don't think so much. Our beast race has always participated based on strength. As long as you bring out your true strength, no matter what step you reach, we will accept it."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang nodded vigorously.

Without looking at the demon-race people again, he turned and walked away directly.
