Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1232 - Three Monsters

Chapter 1232 - Three Monsters

It was incredible enough that Tianming hadn’t used his hostage. Even if they lost, they could be proud. But his team winning was something completely unexpected. Even though it was three on one, it was still a miracle to defeat Zhan Yuance, a fifth-level constellier who was publicly agreed to be the most likely to get the spot in Sky Palace.
Not a single disciple of the tens of thousands present had guessed that would be the outcome.
A dead silence held for very long, with many even rubbing their eyes to make sure they had seen correctly.
“The strongest disciple ended up like this?”
“I know it was three on one, but still.”
“Heavens, how did it end up like this?”
It didn’t matter what they said, it was clear their minds were in chaos. The position of these Azuresoul Palace disciples in their hearts had completely changed.
“Even though they besieged him, that last attack of Li Tianming’s could crush even a fourth-level constellier.”
“His combat power is definitely worthy of being in the top ten, or even top five!”
“The most important part was that one of Zhan Yuance’s skyapes was heavily injured and he lost two of his ears.”
“The ears may grow back, but the humiliation will be forever. He’ll become a joke to everyone. This fight will definitely shake the Myriad Solar Sects.”
“Actually, I think Li Tianming was too kind. After all, he could’ve used Zhan Yingying to force Zhan Yuance out. However, he chose to go against the strong as a weak person.”
“Zhan Yuance wanted to kill his lifebound beasts. Li Tianming showed mercy.”
“Right, he didn’t have a choice. He’s from the Azuresoul Palace, a second-rate power. People like us without backing are helpless.”
“For so long, there’ve been so many disciples who get crippled once they make a name for themselves. Who answered their grievances?”
“Li Tianming held back enough by not killing Zhan Yuance’s lifebound beast. If Li Tianming had been a first-rate power’s disciple, Zhan Yuance would’ve been crippled today.”
“Let me tell you. Even if held back to avoid trouble, the wargodeans will still find trouble with the Azuresoul Palace after this.
“The only exception is if Li Tianming joins a first-rate power, or even the Sky Palace.”
“I think that’s his goal.”
The conversation about Tianming was endless.
Tianming couldn’t hear the discussions. His choices had been made after due consideration. If no one was around, yes, he might very well have crippled Zhan Yuance. However, he had too many treasures now. Thus, he wanted to decrease the incoming trouble as much as possible. However, that didn’t mean he could just leave it like that. He had put the Imperial Sword Prison into Zhan Yuance as a precaution.
“I hope you can just humbly accept the loss.” It was always such a pain dealing with disciples with backing, so he had to think things through. He took a deep breath and grabbed a black war drum that was falling from the sky. When he touched it, the black war drum became a tattoo that appeared on the right side of his face.
Now, he had two war drums.
“Is this the symbol of the victor?” Tianming was uncertain. “I beat Zhan Yuance and got his drum. But the one who gets the Divine Worldeater Cauldron is based on who gets the exalted blood. Does that mean the war drums still have other uses? Does the Imperial Ninedragon Tomb have other secrets?”
He couldn’t get answers for now, so he let go of these doubts and examined Xiaoxiao’s injuries instead.
Yu Ziqian had given her some pills to help her recover. Tianming realized that that fellow did have some uses. For example, he was very understanding of the effects of various pills. He could also prescribe medicine like a doctor.
“You have this little brother’s respect, boss,” Yu Ziqian sighed in praise.
“A group effort,” Tianming said. Indeed, he couldn’t have done it without Xiaoxiao and Lingfeng.
In front of them, Zhan Yingying was still in a daze as she held the two ears.
“Do you accept your loss?” Tianming asked.
“You.…” Zhan Yingying took a deep breath and shrank back. “Fine, I’m convinced. You beat my brother, so you do have some skill. We wargodeans respect the strong.”
Tianming chuckled.
“What’s so funny?”
“If you were a bit slower in talking, I might’ve believed you.” Though she had been so forward, it was clearly because she was afraid of Tianming tormenting her.
Zhan Yingying froze. “I’m being real here. My brother is a frank person, and he can take a loss.”
“Do I look like I was born yesterday?” Tianming shook his head.
“You!” Zhan Yingying’s chest heaved, and she retreated backward even more.
Tianming approached her.
She reflexively scrambled back. “If you touch me, the wargodeans will—”
“Just taking out your background when you can’t win, you siblings really are losers. I look down on you.” Then Tianming continued, “When you go out, tell him I’m waiting for him to take these two ears back. If he’s unconvinced of his loss, he can come back and I’ll fight him one on one. But if he can’t take the loss, and insists on sending the old fogies in the clan against me, his bloodline will forever be that of a loser.”
“You!” Zhan Yingying grit her teeth, but didn’t know how to retort.
“Are the wargodeans really that hard? You seem kind of soft.” Tianming lashed out and kicked Zhan Yingying in the face. She yelped as she was sent flying, her imperial star formation broke, and she was eliminated. The wargodeans had been wiped out from the DIvine Worldeater Cauldron!
The disciples outside couldn’t hear what Tianming had said. But that merciless kick made many female disciples instinctively cover their faces.
“My god, this man.…” Many looked from him, then to the silent Ye Lingfeng, then finally at the black-haired young woman.
“Why do none of them feel normal?”
“It feels like Yu Ziqian is the only normal one.”
“Honestly, I think Li Tianming’s eyes are scarier than Zhan Yuance’s.”
“Hmm, yeah. They’re severe and fierce. But he sometimes smiles and seems harmless. What an unstable fellow.”
“He’s quite handsome.” Several female disciples smiled.
“Eh?”
“Is he not?”
“He does look slightly good… but his actions just now made everyone forget about his appearance.”
“No, not his looks, but his aura. How your face looks only goes so far. Your aura, soul, gaze, and charm should also be considered. Some are pure, while some are mysterious.”
“Then, what do you say Tianming has?”
“Commanding and aggressive.”
“Eh, you’re right.…” Many people looked up and nodded, convinced.
