The advertisement Lin Feng had shown Xian was a competition of Spirit beasts.

With the immense size of Sky Court city, it was obvious that there would be some shady business going on.

Lin Feng wore a black mask, covering his face and making him unrecognisable.

It was in the middle of the night and after asking for directions he was able to find the place.

“Who do you want to place your bet on tonight?”

Outside a black door, two men stood outside, and Lin Feng could hear them eavesdropping.

“So they place bets in this place?” He brought his hands to his chin.

“Xian, are you sure you can defeat a lot of beast at this stage? Should we go back in case you can't win?” Lin Feng communicated with Xian in his head.

Xian fumed, “Shut up Peasant. Be grateful I want to work for the both of us.” The lizard uttered, stretching its back.

Lin Feng could only chuckle. He had nothing to worry about.

Walking towards the door, he held out a token for them.

“I'm here for the Beast Match.”

One of the guards took a long look at him, “You should know we have dress codes for this place.” The man said, crossing his arms.

“How?” Lin Feng raised his brow, “Isn't everyone allowed here, as long as you have a spirit beast?” He tilted his head.

“And where is your own spirit beast?” The guard cocked a smile, giving a signal to his friend.

“If you think you are going to play with us, we'd have no choice but to kick you out.” The guard's friend stepped forward, slamming a fist into his palm.

Unlike the competitors, and the other guards who watched the competition, they didn't have much fun.

It wouldn't take anything from them if they could make their own fun here.

“I have a Spirit Beast.” Lin Feng said, bringing his palm out.

Xian appeared on the palm, staring straight at the guards, before bringing out its slithering tongue.

Seeing the small beast, the guards looked at each other, before bursting out into laughter.

“Is that what you call a Primordial Beast? That thing wouldn't even last a moment.” One of the guards pointed at Xian's head.

But something strange suddenly happened.

Xian spat out a tongue of black flame and it landed on the man's finger.

“What the?” The man held his hand on shock.

The black flame disintegrated the first finger, before moving on to the rest.

“Ahh! Make it stop!” The guard's face was filled with snot and tears.

Lin Feng had no expression on his face, “Are we permitted to enter into the building now?” He asked them with a calm voice.

The other guard, looked down at this friend whose full arm was being eaten up by the black flame.

The flame was about to reach the man's elbow.

“We are sorry, please. Help him.”

Lin Feng glanced at the man, and then sighed.

“Next time, you won't judge by appearance.” He said, before snapping his finger.

The black flame disappeared instantly, leaving behind a clean cut and bloody area.

Lin Feng walked past the guards.

It was this black flame that gave him the confidence he needed to win the match.

“As you all know, the rules for the match is simple. Every beast coming here fights to the death. I'd advise you not to use your summons but your contracted beasts. However if your summons are stronger and you have a good chance, then you can go ahead!”

In this world, there were two ways of getting Beast Allies.

It was either through summoning a spirit beast, or the other way.

This method was used by those who didn't have enough Dao energy to enter into the spirit world.

They could contract the wild beasts of the land or a roaming spirit Beasts.

Some were lucky enough to find a Grade S contract Beasts but it was very rare.

Lin Feng has thought about this when he had first gotten Xian, because Xian was labelled as Grade C beast.

Now, he was eager to see the type of beasts that would be coming forth.

“Also there's a special prize for the person who can defeat our five times winning champion with his dual Elemental Rage Dragons!!” The announcer said, and a picture came to the large screen.

“Xian, can you handle them?” Lin Feng asked.

Xian looked up, “I killed their ancestors for dinner back in my days.”

It was his usual bragging style so Linn Feng didn't think much about it.

The announcer also listed out new applicants.

When the picture of a small lizard came out, the whole crowd instantly burst out laughing.

“It seems our player here is a first timer, but we'd be sure to give him a homely welcome.” The announcer said with a wide smile, causing the crowd to laugh even more.

Lin Feng couldn't even be bothered. He walked to a nearby stand.

“Please where can I place my bet?” He asked a man with a long beard.

Long beard looked at the young man in front of him.

He looked like those men from the rich sects, and Long Beard smiled.

Getting this man’s favour might place him in a golden spot.

“Hey, walk with me.” Long Beard said, handing his arm around Lin Feng's shoulders.

Lin Feng didn't refuse.

“In this place, you'd have to know who to place your bet on. I'd normally place my bet on those who have the spirit summons.”

“How do you know those who have the spirit summons?” Lin Feng asked.

“You look at the emotions of the master. Anyways, here's the betting area. You can do well to follow my advice.” Long Beard said, before standing by the side.

Lin Feng smiled, he already knew who to place his bet on.

“How do I do this?”

A lady looked at him, chewing gum like she was being paid for it.

“Get a bet tag of the beast you are going for and write the amount of Dao Cores you would place for the bet.” The lady said.

Lin Feng nodded and placed the bet instantly.

At the sound of a loud whistle, the whole place hushed.

It was the time for the first battle.

“I brought some snacks for you, Xian.” Lin Feng, taking out one King Beast Core from his ring.

It was a core he had hidden from the gluttonous salamander, hoping it would give him a good energy boost at the time.

“Pod Vs Nine-Solar Golden Basilisk.” The announcer called out.

“It seems it's the first fight for our cutesy lizard. Let's ensure to encourage our new comers.” He said, and the crowd laughed again.

There were no hard feelings from the crowd against Lin Feng's beast.

It was just that after being used to ruthless monsters tearing themselves apart, it was hard to imagine a beast like this could survive.

Lin Feng stood, while Xian crawled up to the stage.

“Begin!”

Xian turned to a blur instantly, shooting forward.

The Golden Basilisk was ten times its size and they were beasts known for their armour tough skins

Xian zoomed back and forth five times before coming to a stop.

The Golden Basilisk paused, then landed on the floor with a thud.

Defeated.

In less than five seconds.

It was a new record.

The crowd was silent and suddenly a loud shout rose to the sky, creating a chain wave of cheering.

This was intense.

The video was played again above the stange and Xian appeared as a blur.

The lizard walked to the side of his stage, before jumping and resting on his owner's head.

Lin Feng cracked a smile underneath his mask.

“Don't you think you did too much, Xian Xian?” He chuckled in his mind.

“Respect is earned and by showing a staggering difference between my strength and this weaklings would I earn that respect.” Xian uttered.

Lin Feng nodded his head.

Every one had witnessed the birth of an underdog and they were excited.

“P! O! D!”

They all chanted.

Xian frowned, “Why did you name me that, Peasant?”

Lin Feng chuckled, “It means Primordial Origin Dragon. I'm not giving out your original name.”

Hearing that, Xian calmed down, and he also liked it a bit.

Within seconds, the lizard was asleep, waiting for his next match.

Beside him, the shadows coiled and writhed, responding to his will like loyal servants.Mo Juan straightened slowly, wiping the blood from his face with the back of his hand. His eyes burned with a mixture of fury and disbelief, his body trembling with barely contained rage at the sheer monstrosity of the man before him.He had not expected to find Lin Feng at Dao Body realm.

    Lin Feng focused his attention on the Purple Hearts Sect, his eyes scanning the battlefield for any sign of Yun Feng or Xiao Chen. He tore through their ranks with brutal efficiency, his movements powered by the strength of his newly transformed body. Each strike from his bare hands sent disciples flying, their weapons shattering against his skin like glass."Heart shattering crimson formation!" Disciples of the purple heart sect screamed, forming a strange formation around him, but he was less bothered, confident in the strength his body contained. Plus he hadn't played all his card yet.Dark energy exploded from his body, swallowing the Purple Hearts disciples in a wave of shadow.

    Lin Feng stood at the gates of the Shadow Covenant settlement, his gaze fixed on the distant figures of the enemy camps. The mist swirled around him, thick and grey, but his eyes pierced through it with unnatural clarity. Beside him stood Shin, Xian and Leona, their bodies tense and their energy radiating with anticipation.After Shin had decided that it was best they fought with their individual strength to test their limits, Leona had offered to come along. According to her, she could not think of a better opportunity to test out her Crystal art cultivation technique.The Shadow Covenant disciples watched in disbelief. They had gathered at the walls, their faces a mixture of shock and concern as they watched their Shadow Lord prepare to walk into what they believed was certain death."They are insane," one disciple murmured. "Just four of them against the combined forces of three major sects? They will not last an hour."Another shook his head. "They will be dead before they even

    Lin Feng met up with Su Yan, with Leona, Shin and Xian by his side. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the cat, wondering when Lin Feng had suddenly acquired such a creature, but before she could ask any questions about the cat, Lin Feng cleared his throat, grabbing her attention."Shadow Lord," she bowed her head in respect, and so did the others beside her. Lin Feng frowned, watching her, wondering if he would ever get used to this."I heard a little of what is going on from Leona, but I thought I should meet you and hear the full situation of things from you."Su Yan nodded, leading him to settle down in a quiet place. "I do not know if Leona told you this, but we have confirmed the powerhouse helping the Purple Hearts Clan, the Holy Land Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect to be the Xiao family."Lin Feng's eyes darkened on hearing this, recalling Xiao Chen from back at the academy. Of course it has to be him. With Yun Feng involved it's impossible for Xiao Chen not to get in
