Chapter 1682: Why Not Freeload Two Combat Strengths?

"That giant bear is very strong—an ordinary God-Rank beast-tamer would have a hard time dealing with it!" Elder Long said. "I see Chen Feng seems to have a very powerful psychic-type pet beast…"

"I do indeed have a psychic-type divine beast!"

What Su Yang carried on him was the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly.

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly is a soul-type divine beast, but it's easily mistaken for a psychic-type divine beast.

This Elder Long must have misidentified it, but Su Yang wasn't about to kindly correct him.

Hearing Su Yang's answer, that Elder Jian also began to take Su Yang's strength seriously.

A beast-tamer with two divine beasts was already considered elite among God-Rank Low-Grade beast-tamers.

What's more, Su Yang's Earth Fury Bear had already shown them combat power that came close to a God-Rank Mid-Grade fierce beast!

Elder Long said with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"

Su Yang's defeat of Zhou Qian had indeed made the Eight Treasures Hall lose face.

But that didn't mean the people of the Eight Treasures Hall would lose their heads and gang up on Su Yang.

The people of the Eight Treasures Hall were not a bunch of hotheaded fools.

In this day and age, being a hotheaded fool wasn't easy.

Either you died until you couldn't die anymore, or you became a true top-tier expert!

They knew clearly that although Su Yang was arrogant and brazen, he was definitely not a person from the Shenlongshang Alliance!

Simply because Su Yang had appeared openly in Eight Treasures City, and had only brought one person with him.

It was precisely because Su Yang had held back when fighting Zhou Qian.

As for why Su Yang, upon hearing they had clashed with the Shenlongshang Alliance, wanted to come test their strength—anyone with a little brains could vaguely guess at one possibility.

But it hadn't been confirmed.

"Sure!"

Elder Jian said with a smile, "Elder Long, he's only God-Rank Low-Grade."

Elder Long suggested, "Then shall we try one move?"

"Sure!"

"Psychic Shock?"

"Alright!"

Su Yang did not refuse.

"I'll count down!" Elder Long intoned, "Three, two, one!"

The moment Elder Long counted to one, terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from both sides at the same time.

Psychic Shock and Soul Shock collided between the two of them.

Almost simultaneously, both sides could sense the vast psychic energy within the other's divine beast!

The invisible psychic energy actually took on physical form, stirring up a blast of air that exploded outward.

The five God-Rank Low-Grade beast-tamers were nearly blown off balance.

Almost at the instant of the energy collision, both Su Yang's and Elder Long's minds went momentarily blank.

Elder Long retreated over a hundred meters.

Su Yang thought for a moment, then decided to retreat two hundred meters, as a show of courtesy.

It was also for the sake of his plan!

He had a rough estimate in his heart: with the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly's strength, it could absolutely defeat the divine beast within Elder Long!

The specific talent of the divine beast within Elder Long, Su Yang couldn't see.

But he could be certain that his ability to win was definitely due to the soul attribute of the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly!

"What powerful psychic energy!"

"That Chen Feng is so strong—he actually withstood Elder Long's attack!"

"Still, our Elder Long is formidable, though that Chen Feng can't be underestimated either!"

"…"

Realizing he had come to his senses before Su Yang, and had only retreated a hundred meters,

Elder Long stroked his beard and praised, "Your psychic-type divine beast is very powerful—far beyond an ordinary psychic-type divine beast!"

"It's alright, I guess!"

"Then are you fairly satisfied with our Eight Treasures Hall's strength?"

Su Yang nodded. "It's passable!"

Elder Jian asked, "Then can you tell us why you came to Eight Treasures City to provoke us?"

"I heard you've been fighting the Shenlongshang Alliance—I have a grudge with the Shenlongshang Alliance!"

When Su Yang said this, neither Elder Long, Elder Jian, nor Yun Shuying were particularly surprised.

"A grudge with the Shenlongshang Alliance?"

Elder Long stared at Su Yang, as if trying to discern whether his words were true or false.

"That's right! To be precise, I have a grudge with the Night Demon Kingdom!"

Elder Long pressed, "When did this happen?"

"Almost two thousand years ago, I suppose!"

Two thousand years?

The age Su Yang had lied about exceeded that of most of the Eight Treasures Hall's God-Rank beast-tamers.

Immediately after, Su Yang repeated the background story he had fabricated earlier.

Only this time, he did not emphasize that he had once joined the Great Jin Empire.

Anyway, he'd been mixed up in the beast frontlines, but he wouldn't say which country exactly!

Elder Long looked at Su Yang and didn't detect any sign of him lying.

With Su Yang's high level of strength, thick skin, and rich lying experience as a seasoned old fox, once he started lying, even other Divine-tier Beast Tamers wouldn't be able to see through it.

Unless they could use powerful psychic abilities to hypnotize Su Yang.

Of course, that was impossible!

Two thousand years of history, and in the Night Demon Kingdom no less — there was simply no way to verify it.

Elder Long looked at Elder Jian; Elder Jian was the Second Elder of the Eight Treasures Studio.

His strength was greater than his, and his seniority even older.

At this time, it still had to be up to him to decide!

Elder Jian spoke up: "So, Lord Chen Feng wishes to deal with the Shenlongshang Alliance together with us?"
