Chapter 138: Chapter 116: Summoned by the Old Beast Monarch! (Part 2)

The communication within the Beast Race is simple, without the complexities often found among the Human Race. The envoy of the Old Beast Monarch simply felt that Ye Mingqiu, being a Giant Beastman, had achieved greatness by becoming the Beast King, and admired him for this, hence his actions.

This kind of behavior would be seen as embarrassing for one’s represented faction among the Human Race, but in the Beast Race, the other party might just think you’re very pure and commendable.

“Hmm.”

The Giant Beastman envoy stood up and said, “The King of Ten Thousand Beasts invites you to his territory to jointly discuss the future of the Beast Race. A great storm is about to sweep across this continent, and no one will be spared.”

“Alright, I will go with you.”

Ye Mingqiu replied.

….

In front of the Beast King Hall

Under the guidance of the Giant Beastman, Ye Mingqiu arrived at the palace exclusive to the Old Beast Monarch. The grand and majestic giant hall evoked a sense of longing in him from afar. It would be quite nice if I, too, had a palace of my own.

“Lord Blood Erosion Tyrant, the Beast King is already waiting for you inside the hall.”

The Giant Beastman said, stopping at the entrance of the hall.

“Alright.”

Ye Mingqiu entered the grand hall.

The atmosphere inside was even more grandiose, surrounded by totem poles engraved with the icons of the strong figures from various Beast Race tribes, serving as pillars supporting the grand hall much like they support the various tribes of the Beast Race.

Upon entering the Beast King Hall, the totem pole representing the Giant Beastmen gradually illuminated, its engraved totem bursting with golden light from its pupils, shooting into Ye Mingqiu’s body under his gaze, transforming into a pure stream of power that flowed into his limbs and bones.

[Hint: You have received the Beast Race Totem – Giant Beastman’s Blessing, Body Basic Potential +1]

Unexpectedly, it can enhance Body Basic Potential!

These totem poles are really extraordinary!

It’s known that, for Spiritualists, Body Basic Potential is an extremely important attribute, with an absurdly high difficulty in acquiring it; apart from leveling up and learning Basic Passives, there’s essentially no way to enhance Body Basic Attributes.

Even this single point of Body Basic Potential is a significant enhancement not only for Level 2 Ye Mingqiu but also for Level 8 Tang Ruobing.

Wonderful!

Ye Mingqiu continued forward, his gaze following the magnificent momentum towards the uppermost part of the grand hall, where he saw the strongest King of the Beast Race seated at the highest throne.

King of Ten Thousand Beasts – Kaki Aste

The Old Beast Monarch was kneeling in front of two rows of mighty beastmen, numerous but many were aged and frail, with grey hair and weak bodies, yet they were undoubtedly Monarch Level powerhouses, and several were even at Monarch Peak.

He advanced step by step under the gaze of those monarchs and the Old Beast Monarch, as tangible pressure bore down upon him. Though these gazes were without malice, they harbored deep expectations.

“King of Ten Thousand Beasts, I have arrived.”

Ye Mingqiu responded while looking directly at the Old Beast Monarch.

In the world of the Beast Race, the strong are revered, and weaker beastmen must show respect to stronger ones, but Ye Mingqiu is a Beast King, just like the Old Beast Monarch, so he does not need to pay respect when facing the Old Beast Monarch.

The Old Beast Monarch bore no grievance for this, merely nodding gently and saying, “The newborn king of the Beast Race, let me take a good look at you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Beast Monarch exuded a powerful spirit that enveloped Ye Mingqiu, with the Eye of Omaragon ready to resist the Old Beast Monarch’s detection and return a counter instant death judgment, yet Ye Mingqiu halted it, indicating its restraint was unnecessary.

The Eye of Omaragon closed its eyes, ceasing to obstruct, demonstrating the intelligence of Dominator Level equipment. If it were ordinary equipment, it would simply resist the probing and execute instant death unconditionally.

The Old Beast Monarch sensed Ye Mingqiu’s extraordinary ring, smiled slightly, but said no more.

At that moment, Ye Mingqiu also stared directly at the Old Beast Monarch, launching Detection Skill without any hesitation.

The Old Beast Monarch sat boldly, allowing him to observe through Detection Skill without hindrance; this is the purity of communication within the Beast Race. Among Beast Kings, assessing each other’s strength is normal.

[King of Ten Thousand Beasts – Kaki Aste (Level 5 Dominator)]

[Life: 9500]

[Race: Beast Race]

[Attributes: Power: 160, Agility: 154, Constitution: 160, Spirit: 144]

[Ability: ???]

Strong! So strong!

It’s just like a monster!

A Power and Constitution as high as 160, terrifying Agility at 154, and even 144 points in Spirit, the Beast Race’s weakest attribute… Is this what a Level 5 Dominator of the Beast Race is like? His strength is truly terrifying!

The inability to detect abilities wasn’t because the Old Beast Monarch intentionally hid them, but because Ye Mingqiu’s Spirit attribute was too low. Even if the Old Beast Monarch sat allowing detection, he couldn’t discern them, illustrating an absolute attribute gap.

Compared to Ye Mingqiu’s astonishment, the Old Beast Monarch frowned because he felt Ye Mingqiu’s attributes were somewhat low, mismatching the Blood Erosion Tyrant image he heard on the battlefield.

Thus, he asked, “This isn’t your true state, is it? Your true form should be the state you exhibited on the battlefield.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded slightly.

The Old Beast Monarch was not wrong; the only limitation of Tyrant Form is battle intent. With enough battle intent, he can enter it directly.

The Tyrant Form has no time, power, or weakness restrictions… no limitations whatsoever. Use it as long as desired, akin to unlocking true form through battle?

“I see.”

The Old Beast Monarch roughly understood. Ye Mingqiu now stood at 4 meters tall, and in Tyrant Form, his stature would swell to 10 meters, which would be quite cumbersome in daily life, so suppressing such power made sense.

“Even so, your strength… is still too weak, as weak as I was once.”

The Old Beast Monarch continued.

“…”

Ye Mingqiu didn’t refute.

The Old Beast Monarch spoke the truth. Compared to the Level 5 Dominator Beast King, Ye Mingqiu’s strength was indeed weak, strong only when compared to those Level 5 Monarchs, still too weak among Dominators.

He fell silent for a moment, then said, “I want to strengthen, become a stronger warrior.”

“Great!”

The Old Beast Monarch revealed a smile instantly, then laughed aloud as he stood, clad in armor, and stepped down to Ye Mingqiu, saying, “Join me on that open ground, I will teach you how a Beast King battles.”

[Hint: King of Ten Thousand Beasts – Kaki Aste has initiated a guidance session with you]

Guidance recognized by the Spirit Realm?

It seems the Old Beast Monarch is full of sincerity, worthy of being the king of Beast Race, generous in imparting power, eagerly hoping more strong warriors emerge within the Beast Race.

Pure! Such purity!

I respect you, King of Ten Thousand Beasts!

“Reverently listening to the elder’s guidance.”

Ye Mingqiu sincerely lowered his head, placed a hand on his chest, and bowed earnestly.

….

Outside the Beast King Hall

On a vast open field, Ye Mingqiu and the Old Beast Monarch stood, accompanied by many Beast Race Monarchs secretly watching. They hoped to acquire stronger battle techniques from the Beast King, a fact that the Old Beast Monarch made no effort to conceal.

He gazed at Ye Mingqiu from afar and asked, “Do you plan to continue fighting in this form?”

“The condition to lift the restriction is battle intent; with enough battle intent, I can revert to the original form.” Ye Mingqiu answered succinctly.

“Battle intent, hmm?”

The Old Beast Monarch roughly understood, battle intent imposes notable limitations on the Human Race and the Elves, yet it’s inconsequential for the Beast Race. Once entering battle state, the Beast Race’s battle intent is immediately heightened to the maximum.

With abilities developed under battle intent restrictions, a greater extent of control over size can be achieved, avoiding excessively large sizes disrupting daily life, a wise choice indeed.

“Then let us battle!”

The Old Beast Monarch cheerfully replied.
