236: Tian Ji's horse racing, Black Stone Mountain is ready to go!

After the competition ended, Fang Ran was invited back to Fengge Academy again.

After giving a speech and rejecting a few juniors, he gathered with Tie Jiuxin and the others once more.

"Among the academies that passed the preliminaries like us, there are 7 Beast Tamer at the Transcendent Mid-Stage, while all the others are at the Early Stage Extraordinary," Zhang Er explained.

"Is there anyone we need to watch out for?"

"Across the five major competition zones, fifteen teams were promoted. Counting the knockout rounds, there are a total of 20 teams and 100 Beast Tamer participating in the knockout team competition!" Zhang Er explained.

"As long as we don't run into Fire Dragon Academy or the other four major academies, the probability of entering the top ten is still very high!"

"Of course, there are two more people we need to pay attention to!"

"Who else?" Tie Jiuxin asked.

"One is the chief Beast Tamer of Magic Capital Academy, and the other is the chief Beast Tamer of Saint Beast Academy. I've watched the recordings of this competition, and he hardly made a move!"

"Moreover, there must be a Transcendent Mid-Stage Beast Tamer among them!" Zhang Er warned.

"Saint Beast Academy? That's the academy where Ding Han is. And the chief student of Magic Capital... I remember Yuan Qichuan was once a reserve chief student of Magic Capital Academy, right?" Fang Ran muttered to himself.

Being able to snatch the chief student spot from Yuan Qichuan meant the opponent's strength could not be underestimated.

However, Fang Ran was curious why Yuan Qichuan hadn't come to compete.

"The top ten is already a sure thing this time," Tie Jiuxin laughed.

"Yeah, plans have changed. This time, we're going for the top three!"

Zhang Er also bared his teeth.

With Zhang Li and Fang Ran around, they could at least win two matches steadily!

The premise was that Fang Ran didn't run into that Transcendent Mid-Stage Beast Tamer.

"What is the format for the finals?" Fang Ran asked.

"It's a knockout team competition. Didn't we already fight Wang Long and the others when we were in the Imperial Capital? Past competitions have had at most minor rule changes."

"And unlike training matches, once you lose, there's a high probability you can't play again," Bai Lingshuang, who had been silent until now, spoke up first.

"In that case, my Tian Ji's horse racing strategy can come in handy again."

"What is Tian Ji's horse racing?" The others looked at Fang Ran.

"Zhang Li and I are the superior horses, and you, Zhang Er, are a medium horse."

"What about me?" Bai Lingshuang pointed to herself expectantly.

"An inferior horse."

Bai Lingshuang's expression turned cold instantly, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Although she was trying her best at the Imitation of her sister's indifference, she couldn't keep it up whenever she was hit where it hurt.

"Heh," Tie Jiuxin snickered.

"Stop laughing. You don't have a horse."

"???" Tie Jiuxin had a face full of question marks.

"The task for the inferior horse and the one with no horse is to trade with the opponent's superior horses..."

"Can I be the inferior horse?" Zhang Er raised his hand, his face filled with unease as he said, "The superior horse is the first, wouldn't the medium horse be the second?! I can't be the second!"

"Alright then, you two have no horses, and one is an inferior horse. The goal is to trade away the opponent's superior horse's chance to fight!"

"That way, Zhang Li and I can slaughter all the opponent's Beast Tamer other than the Transcendent Mid-Stage one..."

Listening to Fang Ran's strategic instructions, Zhang Er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

At this moment.

Black Stone Mountains.

"Boom!"

A loud noise rang out!

The body of a Dragon-Human Race member fell heavily in front of a massive city made of jagged black stone!

The city was embedded within the massive Black Stone Mountains and was entirely constructed of black gold stone, which could be said to be indestructible!

"Lord Dragon Zhenshan, what happened to you!"

Several members of the Dragon-Human Race jumped out from the Black Stone City.

They seemed to hold the Dragon-Human Race member before them in high respect, and beside them followed several cowering humanoid races!

"Such heavy injuries!"

The two were shocked.

Dragon Zhenshan's body had almost half of it devoured!

Even with the regenerative abilities of the Dragon-Human Race, if combined with blood-bathing, it would be difficult to recover in a short time!

"Take me to see Father!" He gritted his teeth, his pupils filled with scarlet color.

The reason for his anger wasn't that he had been severely injured, but that he had been defeated by someone of a lower rank!!

Two Early Stage Extraordinary scumbags had actually caused him to lose all face!

"Okay! I'll take you!"

The two Dragon-Human Race members carried his body through the Black Stone Mountains.

The city within the mountains was dark and oppressive, yet not many Dragon-Human Race members lived there; it was mostly inhabited by other races!

This was because the Dragon-Human Race was inherently scarce, and their fertility was weak!

"It's Dragon Zhenshan. Who beat him into such a serious injury!"

"Who could hurt him? Could it be a King-level Beast Tamer?!"

"Did we lose on the front lines? Have the Human Beastmaster reached the city gates? Or... did the Empress come?!"

A wave of panic spread among the crowd.

A moment later.

At the peak of Black Stone Mountain.

Inside a massive palace.

"Stop!"

Two Dragon-Human Race members blocked the newcomers.

"Let me through, I need to see Father!" Dragon Zhenshan said.

"Lord Dragon King is currently breeding warriors in the Sacred Land and is not in the palace!"

Hearing this.

Dragon Zhenshan turned and left with the two others.

A long time later, they arrived at a very hidden place. As soon as they arrived, they heard bursts of low roars and unmasked cries.

And outside that huge black stone room, a row of females from different races were kneeling.

In this Black Stone City, if one could give birth to a descendant of the Dragon-Human Race, their status would be elevated!

This was a city of savages.

"Father!"

Hearing Dragon Zhenshan's voice, the trembling inside stopped.

A little giant, fully three meters tall, walked out. He had giant wings on his back and a pair of broken dragon horns on his head. Just standing there, an invisible pressure spread!

"I am creating an army for the Dragon God. What business do you have now?"

He looked at his son, seemingly indifferent to his injuries.

After all, he didn't even know how many such descendants he had already fathered!

"I want to borrow an army to test that person's ability for Father!" Dragon Zhenshan said respectfully.

"Go ahead, take those demon armies."

Saying this, the Dragon King intended to turn and leave.

"No, I want to borrow an army of Transcendent Late Stage Dragon-Human Race!"

Hearing Dragon Zhenshan's words, the Dragon King stopped his steps, narrowed his eyes, and said: "How did you get injured?"

"I... was besieged by Transcendent Late Stage Beast Tamer! Their city's strongest is only Transcendent-level, which is enough for me to help Father test that person's ability!"

Dragon Zhenshan gritted his teeth and said.

He absolutely could not say it out loud, otherwise, not only would he fail to borrow the army, but his status in the Dragon-Human Race would also plummet!

At this moment, feeling the Dragon King's silent gaze, Dragon Zhenshan felt his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Trash, I'll lend it to you this time." He spoke silently, then turned and entered the room with a look of fatigue.

And on Dragon Zhenshan's face, a touch of glee emerged.

A moment later.

He arrived before the endless army of the Dragon-Human Race.

The leader was a Transcendent Late Stage Dragon-Human Race general, but his physique was closer to the Dragon Race than the human race; he was born for battle and conquest!

"Yu City, that person must be hiding inside!" Dragon Zhenshan narrowed his eyes.
