Chapter 138: Incredible Naming Skills

Jun Wen and He Dingtian were in the center of the beasts. One of them was in the sky, and the other was standing on the ground.

Both of them looked cautiously and aggressively at each other. They stared at one another relentlessly and kept their guards up.

They were waiting to find each other’s weaknesses.

The beasts stared intently at them, including Wang Liang and Wang Shan.

Di Baijun, who had been nonchalant, was even looking on with interest.

They maintained the staredown for a few minutes. The two of them felt alright in the arena, but one of the beasts watching from below had enough.

Roar~!

“Jun Wen, He Dingtian, are you guys fighting or not?! What a waste of time! Jun Wen, are you a tiger or not? Fight him!”

Wang Shan roared impatiently.

Everyone turned to look at him weirdly. Wang Liang lowered his gaze and tried to move to the side inconspicuously.

Wang Hu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his brother as well.

This Old Third is more and more unseemly.

Has it been too long since I beat him?

Beside him, Di Baijun expressed her annoyance with a slight ‘hmph’ and said with a voice that only Wang Hu could hear, “Precisely, this Jun Wen is growing more and more useless.”

Wang Hu did not see that coming. He turned his head to look at her and wanted to ask: ‘Are you serious?’

He did not know what to say. He knew that Silly Girl did not like Jun Wen, which was also caused by him.

However, she should at least be more rational.

Jun Wen could not fly; how was he supposed to fight He Dingtian who was flying in the sky?

Of course, although he was disagreeing with her, he would not say it out loud. If Silly Girl wants to voice her dissatisfaction, then he’ll let her be. There wouldn’t be any consequences anyway.

Di Baijun did not mind that Wang Hu was not replying. She continued to watch, getting ready to…

On the stage, Jun Wen did not seem affected by what Wang Shan said, and he continued to look at He Dingtian in the sky while remaining still.

On the other hand, He Dingtian was a little affected. He waited for another minute and started to turn impatient. He lowered his body and flew downwards, getting ready to make a tentative attack.

His huge white body slashed through the air like a white sword and flew incredibly fast.

Just as he lowered his position by 10 meters, suddenly…

Roar~!

A tiger roar as loud as the thunder blasted.

The power in the roar made more than half of the beasts tremble.

In the sky, He Dingtian was not exempted.

His body went stiff, and he lost control of his body for a second, making him free fall for tens of meters.

Suddenly, Jun Wen leaped up into the sky, reaching tens of meters high. He moved so quickly that some beasts did not catch his movement clearly.

However, when they finally managed to see clearly, a terrified cry from the crane resounded, and they saw He Dingtian being grabbed by two giant tiger paws and dragged down from the air.

When they saw this, all the beasts understood that this battle had ended.

Compared to Jun Wen, He Dingtian’s only advantage was that he could fly. Now that he was caught by Jun Wen, it was clear what the ending would be.

At the same time, most gazes that looked at Jun Wen turned more pensive.

The scene just now appeared to be very simple and easy.

However, how many of them were confident of doing it?

The qualities of self-possession, speed, agility, and control of timing that he displayed were very good.

All the beasts who have managed to progress to this day were skillful at fighting and hunting, and they were able to observe it clearly.

Hence, apart from Wang Shan who still looked with disdain, everyone—including Wang Liang—looked on seriously.

Jun Wen was very powerful.

As for Silly Girl, she pursed her lips to also show disdain. No one other than Wang Hu, who had paid special attention to her, noticed.

In the arena, Jun Wen let go of He Dingtian. Though He Dingtian—whose personality was a little prideful—felt a little reluctant, he was in no position to say anything else after losing.

Su Ling took a look at the demon lord for approval before walking to the center to announce the results as well as the start of the second round’s second match.

“Second round second match—Sun Yuan versus Ling Shuang.”

Sun Yuan was the male monkey of the monkey couple who had both reached the Transformation Realm. His name was also given by Wang Hu, and the female monkey was called Sun Xiang.

The battle began, and it ended very quickly.

After a minute, Ling Shuang—who emanated an ice-cold aura—pressed Sun Yuan under her claw, and Sun Yuan was unable to move.

The results were obvious, and there was no need to continue the match any further.

Sun Yuan was a little reluctant and felt resigned. Both he and his wife were snub-nosed monkeys.

Though their personalities were normally rather gentle, he did not want to lose so easily in such an important battle.

What a pity that I can’t team up with Xiang Xiang… otherwise, we would give this icy panther a good lesson.

He thought to himself, feeling disgruntled, and glared secretly. After Su Ling announced the results, he ran towards his wife, Xiang Xiang.

On the other hand, Ling Shuang walked slowly down the stage, appearing to be as cold as ice.

Jun Wen and Wang Shan looked pensively at her.

“Second round third match—Wang Liang versus Jun Yong.”

Both tigers walked to the center of the arena, and they were clear who would be the winner.

After all, one of them was five meters tall, and the other was four and a half meters tall.

Both of them belonged to the same species, and the difference of half a meter in height was sufficient to decide who would win or lose.

However, neither of them retreated nor had the thought of admitting defeat.

They had to fight it out.

Roar~!

The low guttural sound was heard from both parties.

The most intense battle of the tournament so far has started.

The both of them did not preserve any strength and gave it their all. Naturally, under the razor-sharp claws, both of them started to suffer from injuries within half a minute.

The only difference was that one had more injuries, and the other had fewer.

Just then, Big Treasure and Little Treasure—who were supposed to be watching cartoons in their rooms—came running out and pounced into Di Baijun’s embrace. They looked at the fight in shock.

“Mommy, why is Second Uncle fighting with Tiger?” Little Treasure asked, looking with a timid expression.

“Second Uncle is bleeding,” Big Treasure said seriously.

Little Treasure nodded in response.

Wang Hu frowned and pondered for a moment. He couldn’t decide, and he turned to look at Silly Girl to discover that Silly Girl was also looking at him.

Both of them looked at each other with hesitation.

Expose Big Treasure and Little Treasure to this now?

Wang Hu looked seriously and asked without saying a word, “Baijun, what do you think we should do?”

Di Baijun replied firmly, “You decide.”

Wang Hu resisted his urge to roll his eyes. He only got to make decisions at times like this.

However, since he was a man, he would not back away either.

In the beginning, he did not allow all the little fellows to watch the tournament and instructed the spouses of the beasts to take care of them. They were too small, and accidents might happen.

Big Treasure and Little Treasure were also instructed to stay in their room to watch cartoons.

They did not expect the two little fellows, who were normally able to watch cartoons for an entire day, to run out.

His thoughts only lasted for a breath, and he spoke coolly, “Big Treasure, Little Treasure, this is called sparring. Your second uncle and uncle Jun Yong are competing to see who is stronger.”

Since they already saw it, they might as well expose it to them completely. They were not humans after all.

Even though the two little fellows were still small, they already had the strength of a Transformation Realm.

“What’s a tournament?” Big Treasure quizzed.

“Little Treasure knows!” Little Treasure immediately raised her hand and said. She was delighted at herself and quickly said, “It’s the first ultimate battle between Little Treasure and Big Treasure.”

Di Baijun raised her brows—first ultimate battle?

“Big Treasure understands now, too!” Big Treasure also shrieked.

Wang Hu smiled, feeling resigned and doting. With a voice that only Di Baijun could hear, he said nonchalantly with a smile, “Didn’t I tell you about it when you came out from seclusion?

‘When you were not around, these two little fellows kept fighting. One time, they even followed the cartoon and did an ultimate battle.

“Sigh, they are out of my control now.”

Di Baijun frowned as she recalled. She looked disapprovingly at Wang Hu and grumbled, “You have spoiled them too much! This is not the way to teach our children. You can’t pamper them too much.”

Wang Hu smiled to himself, but he nodded and appeared to be apologetic. “Baijun, you are right, I will reflect on it.”

Di Baijun narrowed her eyes and glared huffily at him.

You say you understand but still make the same mistakes the next time. Hmph, you thought I didn’t know?

Big Treasure and Little Treasure are spoiled because of you.

The three of them, father and children… none of them listened to her. She grew increasingly annoyed as she looked at the adult and two children.

I really owe it to them.

Wang Hu noticed that Di Baijun did not notice anything amiss, and he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Little Treasure peevishly.

As expected, these two little fellows could not be trusted. Luckily, he knew them well as their father and was well-prepared.

He paused and said sternly, “Yes, it’s similar to that. But your second uncle and uncle Jun Yong’s sparring is even more serious.

“They are also fighting. Big Treasure and Little Treasure, are you scared?”

“I’m scared.” Two little fellows did not fully comprehend the sentence in front, but they did not hesitate to say ‘yes’ in reply to the last sentence.

Wang Hu’s lip corners curled upward. His children were indeed different from the rest… shouldn’t they be saying that they are not scared?

More importantly, they said they are scared so candidly without any hesitation.

“It’s normal to be scared. So, in the future, if Big Treasure and Little Treasure do not want to bleed so much like your second uncle and uncle Jun Yong; then you must eat more, sleep well, and cultivate whenever you have time.

“So that in the future, when Big Treasure or Little Treasure meets a bad person, you can kill them easily,” Wang Hu said in a serious tone.

Di Baijun frowned. She had a feeling that this lesson he gave was strange.

However, she was unable to refute.

Big Treasure and Little Treasure nodded obediently, and their eyes were wide with bewilderment.

After two seconds, Big Treasure’s little face turned serious, and he said, “Daddy, Big Treasure will eat more and sleep well, but Big Treasure doesn’t have the time to cultivate.”

Little Treasure nodded in response, expressing that she also did not have time.

“Why don’t you have time? You can even just spend an hour a day to cultivate,” Wang Hu said with patience.

“I don’t have time! Big Treasure still has to eat, sleep, and play with my friends. I don’t have time,” Big Treasure said seriously.

Wang Hu was amused. He played along and said, “Look, you can always find the time. Just cut short your playtime for a little while.

“Or stop pestering your Mommy. Big Treasure and Little Treasure are almost three years old now; you are big kids already. You can’t be like that anymore and must learn how to be independent now…”

The adult and the two children started conversing seriously. Di Baijun listened quietly, feeling more awkward as she listened.

He appeared to be serious in teaching them a lesson, but she sensed that many weird things were being included.

Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint what.

“Wang Liang wins this match. Next up, in the second round fourth match, is Wang Shan and Xiong Zong.”

Just then, Su Ling’s voice was heard, and it made Di Baijun come back to her senses, as well as interrupted Wang Hu’s conversation.

Di Baijun, who did not want to continue listening to Wang Hu’s lesson, opened her mouth to voice her complaint that she had felt for a long time.

“Look at the kind of names you gave them! The humans call it Zong Xiong[1], so you just simply used the name Xiong Zong.

“And names like Xiong Hei[2], Wu Gong[3], Zhu Ye[4], Zhu Zhi[5], Jia Shanchuan[6], and He Dingtian[7].”

As she said, she felt the urge to roll her eyes.?These names were so bad!

Wang Hu’s attention was brought away from the two little fellows. He even felt proud of himself as he retorted.

“Baijun, putting aside the other matters, just tell me if these names were easy to remember.

“They are so easy to remember, and it complements their species well. It’s unique and meaningful.”

Wang Hu was really quite pleased with himself.

All along, he knew that he did not give good names—he was only slightly better than the Silly Girl who was passionate about naming things.

However, this time, he genuinely thought that he gave good names.

It was simple and easy to remember, was unique and meaningful, and represented them well.

Whoever dared to say that the names were bad, he always refuted them brazenly.

Di Baijun gave it a thought and realized she was unable to deny it.

Even though it appeared to be simple and given without much thought, this jerk was right.

Seeing that Silly Girl was unable to rebut, Wang Hu smiled and continued to say, “Am I right? The names I gave them are definitely good.

“There’s also Sun Yuan and Sun Xiang.

“Sun Yuan[8] is straight to the point. And Sun Xiang… don’t monkeys love to eat bananas?

“Sun Xiang[9] is so appropriate.

“Only Bao Ying’s name is a little unsatisfactory. I couldn’t help it since I couldn’t think of another name at that time.”

As he spoke, he even felt a little disappointed.

Especially for Ling Shuang, if she did not have such a name, he would have given her the name ‘Bao Xue’. He found the name sounding more powerful.

Di Baijun looked calmly at Wang Hu. She could not refute, but she had her own way of dealing with it…

Which was to ignore him.

She raised her chin and looked towards the arena bossily, to show that she did not want to speak with him anymore.

Wang Hu pursed his lips.?Ha, woman.

Even though she’s not human, she’s the same as a female human.

Becoming childish when she can’t win an argument…

He did not mind. He carried the two little fellows and put aside the lesson he was giving them—now was not the time—and turned to look at the arena.

Wang Shan and Xiong Zong’s fight had started.

In terms of physical size, Wang Shan’s and Xiong Zong’s sizes were the largest out of all the beasts.

Wang Shan was 5.9 meters tall, almost six meters.

Xiong Zong was eight meters tall when standing and slightly more than five meters when he was on four limbs.

In terms of their progress in the Transformation Realm, Xiong Zong was not comparable to Wang Shan, Jun Wen, or Ling Shuang.

His only advantage was his physical size as a bear.

Hence, when the battle started, Wang Shan immediately launched the attack ferociously.

Because he knew that the other party was not his match and he just had to overpower the bear with his might.

Sure enough, he had the upper hand after a short while.

In terms of speed, Xiong Zong could not compete with Wang Shan; neither could he do so in terms of strength. Xiong Zong could only sustain himself by being aggressive.
