Chapter 387: The Beast‑Taming Race Strikes, Su Yu Acts!

Accompanying the Heaven Sword King's announcement of the subsequent rules.

The races that had failed in the first round instantly lit up with excitement.

Later, those defeated races became unusually fierce in the subsequent battles.

If it weren't for a King-Conferred Strong One serving as judge, they would have fought to the death.

In the end, among the ten defeated races, the Elephant Race successfully advanced and became a race able to join the second round.

Above the firmament, the Heaven Sword King once again produced the small box he had before, and said lightly.

"The rules for the second round remain the same: draw lots!"

The forces of heaven and earth surged, and streams of light spheres, like countless stars across the sky, poured into the rooms of each victorious race.

The Human Race also received a light sphere.

Zhou Yuanqing opened the light sphere, and after seeing the number on it, furrowed his brow slightly.

One!

Indeed, this time the Human Race is the first to take the stage.

Zhou Yuanqing sighed and said.

"We didn't expect to be the first match, and we still don't know who our opponent is; we just hope we won't face the Three Races!"

Then Zhou Yuanqing fixed his gaze on Zhou Yong and said.

"For the first match, you'll go out!"

Zhou Yong nodded; his cultivation was comparable to Zhao Feng's, at the Full Moon Peak level, yet his combat power could suppress Zhao Feng slightly.

Immediately, the Heaven Sword King's voice rang out.

"Teams that drew numbers one and two, step forward!"

Zhou Yong nodded toward everyone, walked straight out of the room, and arrived on the plaza.

When Zhou Yong saw the emerging race, his eyes instantly darkened.

The newcomer was also a Human Race.

But their race's name was the Beast-Taming Race!

In this battle, the Human Race directly encountered the Beast-Taming Race!

Although the Beast-Taming Race's strength isn't on par with the top races, it is certainly a formidable foe, for the presence of spirit beasts can greatly boost the Beast-Taming Race's Heavenly Pride's power.

Especially those Heavenly Pride that can command numerous spirit beasts, they are a strong opponent for the Human Race.

The young man smiled faintly at Zhou Yong.

"Didn't expect to meet the Human Race in the second round; it seems this time the Human Race will be trampled under our Beast-Taming Race's feet!"

A venomous resentment flared in the young man's eyes.

The feud between the Beast-Taming Race and the Human Race runs deep; since the Beast-Taming Race split from the Human Race, they are powerful across the Ten Thousand Races Continent, yet in status—

—they fall far short.

Because, in a sense, the Beast-Taming Race are traitors to the Human Race.

Thus, few races would look them straight in the eye.

Among the Beast-Taming Race's people, defeating the Human Race has always been their desire.

And now, meeting on the Grand Ten Thousand Races Tournament, it is naturally a hostile reunion, making them especially envious.

Roar—roar—roar!!!

A Heavenly Pride of the Beast-Taming Race snapped his fingers lightly, and instantly, from the depths of the earth, a slew of ferocious pythons shot up.

Among them, the two pythons whose cultivation had reached the terrifying Full Moon Peak.

The remaining pythons, though weak in cultivation, were terrifyingly numerous!

On the plaza, a dense mass of pythons materialized instantly, bared their vicious fangs, and rushed madly toward Zhou Yong.

In the Human Race's room, Zhou Yuanqing watched the scene and his eyes darkened instantly.

"Damn! Zhou Yong is about to lose!"

Zhou Yuanqing's complexion turned slightly grim.

The young Beast-Taming Race member's cultivation was low, just reaching the Full Moon level, yet the spirit beasts he summoned possessed abnormally terrifying cultivation.

Facing the two Full Moon Peak pythons, Zhou Yong's unmatched combat power still found his two fists unable to match four limbs, unleashing killing strikes, yet against the countless pythons—

—he was still inadvertently bitten.

His flesh was torn in an instant, and toxins from the many pythons' fangs seeped deep into Zhou Yong's body.

For a moment, Zhou Yong felt his head spin and his brain swell.

Even the sight of the Beast-Taming Race's Heavenly Pride before him became hazy.

In the end, under the Heaven Sword King's intervention, Zhou Yong chose to concede.

This battle plunged the entire Human Race's room into a heavy atmosphere.

There's no helping it; the Beast-Taming Race's beast‑taming is somewhat perverse—within the same realm, few can defeat them.

Moreover, this time the Heavenly Pride within the Beast-Taming Race were not weak; among them was a mid‑level Great Sun Grand Master.

Even if Zhou Yuanqing faced them, he could not be 100% sure of defeating them.

Not only the Human Race's Heavenly Pride, but even the Human Race's King-Conferred Strong One, upon seeing this, couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow.

"This Beast-Taming Race is a bit hard to deal with!"

A King-Conferred Strong One said gravely.

"Indeed, summoning spirit beasts, if there were only one it would be manageable, but these Beast‑Taming Race's Heavenly Pride each can summon more than two spirit beasts, that's rather troublesome."

The Human Race's King-Conferred Strong One sighed.

Conversely, over at the Ten Thousand Races' King-Conferred Strong One, the Holy Spirit King glanced over and let out a cold sneer.

"Is this the strength of the Human Race's Heaven's Pride? So weak, it seems not long before your Human Race will have no successors!"

"By then, we won't even need to act; your Human Race will be ruined!"

"Hahaha!"

"The kings of the myriad races laughed wantonly, constantly mocking the Human Race."

"Inside the room."

"Xiang Shaoyun clenched his fists, a fierce light flashing in his eyes."

"This bunch of trash, in Mie Long Cheng they dare be so arrogant! No, I can't hold back—I'll go!"

"Xiang Shaoyun let out a low roar, instantly rose to his feet, exuding a thick killing intent, and was about to walk toward the square."

"However, Su Yu stretched out his hand, blocked Xiang Shaoyun, and gave a light smile."

"Let me handle this. After all, this is Mie Long Cheng; if I, the Young Marshal, don't act, wouldn't that make people look down on us?"

"You're going up?"

"Xiang Shaoyun furrowed his brows, glanced at Su Yu."

"Su Yu gave a faint smile, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes."

"You all rest well and prepare for the later battles; this Beast Taming Clan, I'll take them all on!"

"Having said that, Su Yu's figure flickered and he appeared above the square."

"Zhao Wei's brows were tightly locked as he gazed at Su Yu, speaking in a deep voice."

"This Su Yu is simply too arrogant—after killing a single Feng Yan, he dares to say he'll take on the entire Beast Taming Clan!"

"Not to mention Feng Yan, even if the top prodigy of the Phoenix Clan came, they wouldn't dare say such a thing!"

"Zhao Wei obviously harbored some doubt about Su Yu's words."

"Only Zhou Yuanqing gave Su Yu's back a deep glance, smiled faintly, and said nothing."

"Su Yu slowly arrived at the square, looking at the Beast Taming Clan youth before him, gave a faint smile."

"Beast Taming Clan, right?... I happen to have some insights into beast taming, and I'd like to exchange pointers with you!"

"His words fell."

"A terrifying dragon roar instantly echoed throughout heaven and earth."

"Roar!"

"The little azure dragon that had been dozing in Su Yu's pocket instantly burst forth, transforming into a ferocious and mighty form, glaring angrily at the Beast Taming Clan youth."
