Chapter 42: I Admit Defeat!

  Shangwuying Campsite is located in a valley surrounded by mountains on all four sides.

  There aren't many buildings inside, but the layout is reasonable. The Mercenary Guild and Assassin's Guild are all here.

  From the entrance of Tongtian Tower, the warriors go to the Shangwu Hall, then to the Hu Biao Camp and the Yue Long Tai. If it's not time for transmission, mercenaries can go to the other side of the Shangwu Camp, where there is a small market with taverns, residences, horse stables, blacksmith shops, beast stables and more.

  Yue Yang walked to the small school field where the transmission array was located, which was more than a hundred times larger than the transmission array in the City Master's Mansion.

  One hundred transmission crystal pillars, each at least five meters high, with invisible energy permeating the air, faintly diffusing, the entire transmission array area is flashing with extremely faint white light. When people walk in, it's like bathing in a lake of light energy, and both body and mind will feel exceptionally comfortable.

  After Daxia was founded thousands of years ago, the capital Shangjing had been breached several times, but the Shangwu Camp that guarded this transmission array had never fallen.

  It can be seen from this that Daxia State attaches great importance to this transmission array.

  "Brother, are you also going to the Tongtian Tower? Why alone?" Just as Yueyang was looking around, a big fat man with white skin and a full face of smiles took the initiative to greet him. As soon as Yueyang looked at him, this guy stretched out his white and fat hand and patted it on Yueyang's shoulder: "You look a bit unfamiliar, first time here? Are you a bit nervous? Let me tell you, Tongtian Tower is actually easier to pass than you think, and more wonderful than you think... It's okay, the first time being nervous is normal, but just like breaking through a Chu, as long as you successfully break through the first time, you won't find it mysterious anymore!"

  "So you're a master?" Yueshan classmate was speechless in his heart, how could he be related to Tongtian Tower and Po Chu? It seems that this fat guy is a YD goods!

  "The master dare not say it, but the younger generation knows that I am the great Hai Da Shao!" The fatty almost boasted that he could fly to heaven.

  "Hai Da Shao's appearance is quite extraordinary, with a full face of good fortune, and his feces are abundant, indeed having the air of a master!" Yueyang classmate gave him a thumbs up.

  "Huh, no big deal, I've always been low-key. Even if I'm a Treasure Contract Holder and have a Bronze-rank Ironhide Rhino, I'd never go around telling others about it. I'm not that kind of person... Hmm, is this your warbeast? It looks like a Bronze-rank Ironspine Wolf? No, its nose can emit smoke, and when it pants, it spits out sparks - it's a Magic Wolf!" Fatso looked at Grey Taewolf walking to Yueyang's side, wagging its tail, and was shocked, his fat jiggling wildly.

  "Where, this is the watchdog of our house. It has been stealing chili peppers for several days and that's why it looks like this!" Yuyang explained solemnly.

  "Woof woof!" The grey wolf howled in coordination with the dog, and through practice, its grasp of foreign languages became more and more proficient.

  "This is really a watchdog? Ah, why didn't it sign a contract with you? Why isn't there a contract mark on its forehead? My god, this, this, aren't you afraid it will run away with someone else?" The fatty was somewhat worried for Yueyang and looked around nervously, lowering his voice mysteriously as he said to Yueyang, "Brother, listen to me, you're rich now, your watchdog is a good dog... no, it's not a dog, it's a wolf! I'm absolutely sure I'm not mistaken, it must be a Bronze-level Iron-backed Wolf! Look at its wolf head with a faint blue glow, its fur like steel needles, its skin like iron, and its eyes green with a hint of blue... Take a look at this Beast Compendium, the Iron-backed Wolf inside is almost identical to your watchdog, and what's more, your watchdog is even stronger and more majestic! Maybe it's because it ate too much spicy food and has mutated into an Iron-backed Demon Wolf... You should quickly sign a contract with it, this is a good beast, something that others can't buy even with 100 gold!"

  "It's just a watchdog, it's not worth that much!" Yueyang casually kicked the ash wolf with his foot. Instead of dodging, it wagged its big tail and looked like a worthless watchdog.

  "Am I seeing things? You dare to abuse a war beast? Aren't you afraid of losing loyalty points? Right, you didn't even sign a contract!" The fatty looked and almost killed himself.

  Others who have a good war beast always treat it like an ancestor, afraid that if it eats poorly, sleeps poorly or is in a bad mood, its loyalty will decrease.

  Unexpectedly, this little thief in front of him was completely opposite, he didn't take good care of his own war beast, and even beat it up.

  Good heavens!

  The fatty thought that if he were a god, he would strike this little thief in front of him with a single lightning bolt.

  This kid is so wasteful, it's simply a crime!

  Seeing Yuyang's careless attitude, the fatty had an idea in his heart. Maybe he could persuade this blind and ignorant little thief to give him the Iron-backed Wolf.

  He looked at the Iron Backbone Wolf again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this wolf was born with a destiny connected to his own. He must buy it no matter what. Suppressing his excitement, he made an offer: "Brother, if you don't need this dog, why not let me have it? I'll give you fifty gold, no, sixty gold!"

  Yue Yang despised this greedy fat man extremely in his heart. He actually thought he could buy his own Grey Wolf with just sixty gold? What a beautiful dream!

  Besides, this grey wolf itself likes to fight and kick, it's its own business, how can it be sold to others as a war beast?

  Stupid thing, Yueyang has never done it before. Even if Hu Tai Lang is useless, he's still a follower that Yueyang cultivated himself. If he loses him, who will he vent his anger on in the future? Not to mention sixty gold, even six hundred or six thousand gold, Yueyang would absolutely not sell his personally trained battle beast!

  "My family's only watchdog is this one, if I sell it to you, there'll be no dog to guard the house!" Yueyang classmate waved his hand indicating he wouldn't sell.

  "Call me Big Brother! You call me Big Brother, and I'll take care of you from now on! Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Eight Families, the Hai family. My uncle is a renowned disciple of the East Sea Crystal Palace, one of the Four Great Sects. Isn't that awesome? Don't worry, brother, if you acknowledge me as your Big Brother, I won't let you down! Not only will I give you 60 gold coins, but I'll also give you a lion - or a tiger, if you prefer... What do you want? Just say it, aren't you looking for someone to guard the door? I'll make sure to take good care of it! Ah no, wait, I mean, I'll sell you 100 dogs to guard the door! But this Iron-backed Wolf, no matter what, you have to sell it to me - I love it too much! Haven't you noticed that it looks just like me? We're both so strong!" The fatty flexed his muscles, causing his fat to jiggle.

  Yue Yang took a look at Pangzi, then looked at his own Gray Wolf, and found that they really did have some similarities.

  They all look very punchable!

  He suppressed his laughter and pretended to be surprised, asking: "Isn't there only the four major families of Wind, Snow, Yue, and Yan in the world? How can there be eight major families?"

  "Feng Xue, Yue Yan, those are the old four major families, we are the new rising four major families. Although our reputation is slightly inferior, people already call us together as the eight major families! You must be from the countryside, right? Our Hai family is very famous, especially in water-based war beasts, we're second to none!" The fat man bragged without hesitation, spouting lies with a straight face.

  "Ah, I see... " Yueshang classmate nodded pretending to be silly.

  "Brother, sell me this Iron Spine Wolf, and I'll not only give you sixty gold coins and a Lion War Beast, but also take you to participate in the trial. I guarantee that you will pass within ten days and get the trial certificate. As for exchanging it for the crystal stone later on, I'll take care of everything!" Fatso patted his chest to guarantee.

  "Is this dead fatty trying to cheat your Iron Backbone Wolf?" Suddenly, a pleasant and melodious voice sounded from behind Yue Yang, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

  Yue Yang turned around, and Ming Tong Zei was standing right behind him.

  Upon seeing Yue Yang, Ming Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, but it quickly disappeared: "You really didn't die... Hey, where have you been running off to these past few days?"

  The fatty was being taken advantage of, and he was just about to get angry, but when he saw the bright eyes of the thief, his eyes lit up even more than Grey Wolf's when he sees a meat bone. He immediately stretched out his fat hand towards the thief: "Hello, my name is Hai Dafu, everyone calls me Hai Dashao! Just now you misunderstood me, I swear, I absolutely did not mean to cheat my brother. Think about it, I'm his older brother, would I cheat him? Ah, this... ah, this little brother, do you know my brother? That's great, then we're all our own people! Today is really exciting, let's go have a drink together, I'll treat!"

  "Fatso, if you don't want me to spill your blood with a single slash, then get the hell away from me!" The bright-eyed thief kicked out with one foot, just like Yue Yang kicking the Grey Wolf, and sent Fatso's enormous body flying.

  "Are you okay?" Yueyang saw the fatty scrambling up and really suspected that this guy had a relationship with Huitailang.

  "It's nothing, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Don't you know what my warbeast is? My warbeast is a reinforced Ironhide Rhinoceros, its defense is as strong as steel plate, will I be in trouble? You're talking about this blood... This isn't vomit blood, it's tooth blood, because I've been having internal heat lately and my gums have been bleeding a bit. That's right, that's what it is! Look at this body of mine, do you still need to worry for me?" The fatty quickly wiped away the blood from his lip corner while striking a 'I'm strong and fearless' pose.

  "Where has he run off to again?" A delicate voice called out from afar, a beautiful woman in white palace attire with a veil over her face.

  "My aunt is here, I'll talk to you next time!" The bright-eyed thief whispered hastily to Yueyang and turned around to welcome the beauty in palace attire.

  "Do you know her? Even with a mask on, I'd say she's 99 points out of 100!" Fatso's mouth opened wide, almost drooling, looking extremely punchable!

  "I'm not interested in men!" Yueshang suppressed his urge to stab the fat man with a dagger and turned around to leave.

  "You blind fool... I give up on you!" The fatty suddenly felt like crying, this kid doesn't cherish his good fighting beast, and isn't passionate about beautiful women, is he not afraid of heavenly punishment?
