The middle-aged man heard what Troy Olympus said and with a wave of his hand the cage was flung open, releasing the Blizzard Lion inside. The beast roared as soon as the door was opened. The people all watched the arena ground with a complex look in their eyes. They did not know what happened inside the banquet hall to make the elder so the family so triggered against a child and even setting up a grown beast against a child.
It may sound like the realm of the beast was only at the peak of spirit formation but they were all aware that the beast was more capable than that. Spirit beasts had stronger bodies in comparison to humans and they could fight a human in a realm higher than them with ease as well. Here they were witnessing how a young boy faced off against a beast with a higher cultivation realm than him.
They were not against teaching this guy a lesson but they surely did not wish for him to die. Well, excluding those from the banquet hall. Yue Jiren was gazing at the arena with strong anxiety in his heart. He was not a fool like the others to be blinded by his rage and anger. He was observing the expressions on the faces of the few who supported Yang Dao.
Yue Jing, Yue Yun, Jill, Elder Jing Shui, and Athena showed no sign of tension or stress on their faces as they saw the child standing against the beast with a nonchalant expression. The feat that he achieved yesternight by sealing off the spirit energy inside their bodies without casting an array was more than enough to make him realize that this kid was a monster.
Aries was standing next to Athena. Watching the scene in front of him he said, “Cousin, I hope you do not hold it against me if this boy suffers a bot. I swear that I will not let him die but I must kick him down his glass pedestal.”
Athena did not say anything but sighed, which was interpreted as her gratitude towards her cousin. She did not want to say out loud, ‘Cousin, this child is not normal. Did you forget that to defeat a beast you must be a monster? He is that Monster.’.ᴄᴏᴍ
Yang Dao did not pay attention to what was happening around him and stood silently. The blizzard lion was as tall as nine feet while standing on its four extremities. It dashed towards Yang Dao in a blink and the speed was also very fast.
The Dao child took a hold of his sword and everyone thought that the boy would kill the beast with his sword. The Blizzard Lion was not dumb, he had intelligence on par with the humans, it, noticed that Yang Dao was holding the hilt and the aura this child gave off was something the beast could not fathom.
The charge came to an abrupt end. Yang Dao said, “Good, you realize that I am dangerous. Seems like your instincts did not grow dull. I will spare you, I have no wishes to spill your blood, so you must submit to me temporarily. What do you think?”
His calm voice was heard throughout the arena as the people were sitting around holding their breaths. Yue Jing revealed a smile from her petal-like lips when she saw this scene unfold. She said, “Master, would it be bad if I called my brother a monster?”
Elder Jing Shui smiled and said, “Jing’er how dare you say such words. You know he does not like being called a monster.”
Yue Jing stuck out her pink tongue and said, “He prefers a glorified term, Millenial Genius.”
Yue Yun smiled and said, “That he does for sure.”
As the people in the viewing are were all watching the scene with much astonishment. Yang Dao however stood calmly with his palm resting on the hilt. He gazed right in the beasts eyes and said, “What do you decide?”
The blizzard lion shivered, for the second time in his life it had been facing such fear. The first time was when a nascent soul realm cultivator captured it. However, facing a young child gave him the similar feeling. Beasts had a clearer vision than the humans. They could tell whether the feeling of dread was real or not.
The blizzard Lion understood when he gazed in the eye of the dao child and knew that until he made trouble for him, the opponent will not draw his sword, but if he drew the sword than nothing and no one can save his life. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao took a deep breath and said, “You should better decide. I do not have the whole day.”
If it was before he had that dream, Yang Dao would have played along with this Blizzard Lion, however, ever since he dreamt his body wrapped in chains. He wanted to break those chains and that agitation was the reason behind why he was more aggressive than the usual.
The blizzard lion walked closer to Yang Dao, the dao child noticed the flame of rage in it’s eyes dimmed down a lot. He allowed the beast come closer to him, the people in the viewing area all held their breath. They all thought that the young boy was too scared to move.
Aries stood up from his chair and was ready to play hero when he felt a tug on his sleeve. He turned to see Athena gazing at him while she shook her head. He was surprised and wanted to ask why was she stopping him from helping that boy, even though he disrespected his family by sealing the spirit energy, he was not be hurt on the Olympus Overlord grounds. If something like this was to happen the Sovereign Sect will rally against them and they will be destroyed.
Aries wanted to let his sister go of his hand, when he suddenly heard a collective gasp. He turned his head to look at the arena and found the Blizzard Lion sniffing Yang Dao’s body and snuggling his head against the little boy with much affection. He was flabbergasted.
Athena said, “Beasts below Nascent Realm are easy for Dao to tame. My luan beast can ditch me for him any given second.”
Her words shocked the people, they did not expect it to be such an upset. The spectators began to talk about what just happened and Yang Dao became the object of scrutiny for all of them. The young boy raised his head and said, “What else do you have?”
His words were like a loud slap to the Olympus family overlords. He did not wait for them to continue and said, “I had no intention to scold or teach anyone anything. However, since you all looked down on me, you earned what happened yesterday. Strenght is a fleeting matter. I have proved this to you twice. Now for the third trial of strength, I would like to come forward and ask all the younger generation of the Olympus family.
I, Yang Dao, stand here, welcome all the challenges from the cultivators under the golden core realm. If you want to stop me from marrying Athena, then come.”
His word sent an uproar in the crowd, the younger generation felt their blood boil. A young man stood up and said, “Patriarch, allow us to test his skills. This is an act of maligning our Olympus family. Please allow us to compete with him and see if he is worthy of having the Young Miss as his partner.”
Yang Dao had strong feelings for Athena, but he was not too sure about them in the earlier, but now he was sure and wanted to go forward with it. He liked Athena, because she trusted him. He was aware that this girl had a strong sense of individualism, however, she agreed with her master to be his partner, be his wife.
For her trust, Yang Dao decided to beat down the competition and do that splendidly at that. Troy glanced at the boy standing inside the arena and said, “Since he challenged you all on his own initiative, then go ahead.”
As soon as those words sounded, the youth of the Olympus family all jumped down the viewing area and rushed at Yang Dao. The boy patted the blizzard lion on it’s head and said, “Go stand at the side, I will get you food later.”
The blizzard lion acted as if a domesticated cat and after snuggling his head it walked to the side. Yang Dao untied his sword from the side but did not take it out of the sheath. He waited for the crowd to reach him and as the people got in his ranged, he vanished. The arena echoed with screams and wails of the young people while Yang Dao was not where to be seen.
Yue Jiren was sitting among the crowd watching all this and he mumbled, “Monster.”
The elders could keep up with all his movements.. They all would share his thoughts.
