Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

The female guard naturally recognized Chu Chen and winked at him before turning and leaving.

After she left, Chu Chen noticed that the interior of the arena had undergone a drastic change.

From the outside, the arena appeared only about thirty feet in diameter, but once the competition started, the space inside seemed boundless.

However, this was normal, after all, many of the young prodigies were from the Martial Arts Sect and even the Martial Venerate, a thirty-foot arena wasn't enough for their antics.

"This spatial barrier seems very tough, that old lady couldn't break it. But no worries, I have a Space Talisman to teleport Meat-Meat out," he muttered to himself after sensing the situation inside the space.

"It's you, the brat who roasted my Pet Beast."

At that moment, the voice of his opponent rang out from ahead.

Coldness, anger, hatred, and murderous intent surged forth.

"Roasted your Pet Beast?"

Chu Chen's chubby face was filled with confusion as he stared intently at the other person.

His features were delicate, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's as they fixed on Chu Chen.

Chu Chen tilted his head, thinking hard, then suddenly slapped his plump hands together and exclaimed, "Ah! I remember now, you're that guy called Blood Wolf, right? Are you here to deliver more roast meat to me?"

"This time, I will make you pay the price," the man said in a chilly tone.

Though the arena's internal space seemed boundless, it was only about thirty feet across from the outside, and sounds from the arena could be clearly heard outside, just as outside sounds could be transmitted into the arena space.

Upon hearing the man's words, the venue instantly buzzed with excitement.

"The Myriad Beasts Sect's Blood Wolf? Isn't he second only to Black Tiger among the sect's prodigies? Does he know this little toddler?"

"From their conversation, it seems like he suffered greatly at the hands of that three-year-old toddler."

Blood Wolf had a high profile in Lanzhou, even higher than that of Myriad Beasts Sect's number one prodigy, Black Tiger, mainly because Blood Wolf often went out on missions while Black Tiger mostly focused on cultivation.

However, most people only knew of Blood Wolf's reputation and did not recognize him in person.

Oftentimes, they would see the wolf pack but not Blood Wolf himself.

Chu Chen scrutinized the man carefully, then turned his head toward the referee's area and asked, "He's so ugly, shouldn't he be over twenty years old? Can he still compete?"

"He is currently eighteen years old and meets the competition requirements," a referee from the Myriad Beasts Sect said, frowning.

The referees for each competition area in the major Lanzhou competition were from the three top forces and the State Master Mansion.

The State Master Mansion's referee for Lanzhou City was none other than the State Governor Long Yufei herself.

Chu Chen ignored the Myriad Beasts Sect's referee and waited for a response from Long Yufei.

He trusted only Long Yufei.

Seeing this, the Myriad Beasts Sect referee's face darkened, feeling that this mischievous child was challenging his authority as a referee.

Long Yufei nodded and smiled, "He is indeed not yet twenty."

Although Blood Wolf had participated in ambushing her, she couldn't simply convict him based on the appearance of a group of Blood Wolves.

Moreover, the moment she arrived at the State Master Mansion, the Myriad Beasts Sect had already expelled the old Green Snake, leaving her no opportunity to vent her anger at the sect.

Now that she had just arrived at the State Master Mansion and had not yet settled in, it was not advisable to break ties with these top forces of Lanzhou, as it would not benefit her investigation into the truth.

Only then did Chu Chen turn his gaze back to Blood Wolf, muttering, "Being so ugly, he really doesn't look under twenty."

His voice was not low, and those nearby heard it, all wearing speechless expressions.

What does being ugly have to do with being under twenty?

"Go brother, beat up that ugly freak hard," Chu Xin cheered, jumping around and waving her little hands in the spectator area.

"Okay, sister," Chu Chen nodded at his sister.

Blood Wolf's eyelids twitched, I'm just a bit anxious-looking, how am I ugly?

"Damn brat, today I will avenge those Blood Wolves you skinned and roasted," Blood Wolf seethed.

He bellowed furiously and swiftly formed hand seals. A blood-red hexagram emerged beneath his feet.

"Awooo!"

A spine-chilling howl resonated throughout the venue, followed by the emergence of six colossal silver wolves, each two zhang in length, from the hexagram, howling toward the sky.

These six silver wolves had an aura nearly identical to his previously Blood Transformed green wolves, evidently reaching the Martial Arts Sect realm.

If they completed Blood Transformation, they could likely reach the Martial Venerate realm.

"Indeed, as the second Heavenly Pride of the Myriad Beasts Sect, to possess six Fifth Rank Demon Beasts—equivalent to six Martial Arts Sects—is no small feat," someone remarked.

"I heard Blood Wolf has a unique skill that allows his Pet Beasts to undergo Blood Transformation, which can instantly elevate their rank by one."

"Instantly elevate one rank? After Blood Transformation, wouldn't he possess six Sixth Rank Demon Beasts? That's equivalent to six Martial Venerates?"

"Hiss! How can we even fight him then? Might as well concede if we face him."

"If the second Heavenly Pride of the Myriad Beasts Sect is already this formidable, how terrifying must the first Heavenly Pride, Black Tiger, be?"

The crowd was buzzing with amazement and astonishment.

Hearing these voices, disciples from the Myriad Beasts Sect who had come to watch the fight displayed pride and arrogance on their faces.

"Never would have thought that Blood Wolf already possessed Fifth Rank Demon Beasts as Pet Beasts. His future is boundless," someone exclaimed.

"Congratulations to Elder Leopard. The Myriad Beasts Sect will surely gain another Holy Level Beast Tamer," another chimed in.

Judges from the Domineering Sword Sect and the Demon Saber Sect congratulated the judge from the Myriad Beasts Sect.

The incident of assassinating the State Governor last time, where all of Blood Wolf's Pet Beasts were killed by a mysterious powerhouse, was no secret among the three top forces.

Yet, unexpectedly, within just seven days, Blood Wolf had contracted six Fifth Rank Demon Beasts, much more powerful than the dozens of Fourth Rank Demon Beasts he had before.

"Just luck, mere luck," the judge from the Myriad Beasts Sect said, stroking his beard and bursting into laughter.

Long Yufei, watching the judges from the three top forces, his eyes flickered with a hint of coldness.

"Wow! Meat, little brother, I want some meat," Chu Xin exclaimed joyously upon seeing the six giant wolves, her mouth watering.

"Okay, sister," Chu Chen replied with a nod. Waving his hand, he conjured a barbecue grill and an iron pot, bringing them before Chu Xin, and said, "Sister, get the fire going."

"Alright!"

Chu Xin nodded repeatedly. Although she didn't possess Chu Chen's barbecue skills, handling some preparatory tasks was no problem for her.

"What on earth are these two little ones up to?" the crowd wondered, baffled.

"Damn brats, times have changed; how dare you still mock and belittle me like this?" Blood Wolf fumed, his hands swiftly forming hand seals again. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, blocking the scorching sun and plunging the venue into darkness.

The next moment, a blood-red moon slowly rose from the darkness, bathing the scene in a dim, blood-red glow.

"Awooo!"

The six silver wolves howled at the blood-red moon, and shortly after, strands of blood-red radiance descended, permeating into the bodies of the six silver wolves.

"This is Blood Wolf's unique technique, Blood Transformation. Didn't expect him to use it right from the start," someone noted.

The crowd gasped in amazement.

"After Blood Transformation, they will be Sixth Rank Demon Beasts, comparable to Martial Venerates. The best strategy is to kill them all before the Blood Transformation is complete. Or, find Blood Wolf and defeat him," the crowd murmured in the faint red light.

"Brother, wait until they have undergone Blood Transformation; the meat will taste even better then," Chu Xin called out loudly as she stoked the fire beside the spectators' seats.

"Got it," Chu Chen responded, nodding emphatically in the dim, blood-red light.

With the experience from last time, he naturally knew that the meat after Blood Transformation was tastier than before.

Thus, he did not interfere with the Blood Transformation of the six silver wolves.
