Chapter 485: Wonderful Dreams
Yu Cangwu led a group of animals and walked confidently into the center of the arena.
Passing by the seventh platform where Jiang Yun was standing, he didn’t even glance at Jiang Yun and headed straight to the ninth platform.
Seeing Yu Cangwu ignoring him, Jiang Yun remained expressionless, but he couldn’t help but feel moved.
Even though they weren’t very close, Jiang Yun couldn’t understand why Yu Cangwu would treat him like this, especially after the message he had sent a few days ago and his suspicions that Yu Cangwu had encountered some trouble and had taken care to inform the Yu family.
"What could have happened to him that he pretends not to know me!"
Despite Yu Cangwu looking a bit tired, the beasts he led, especially the golden-winged garude, were powerful and easily defeated their opponents, making him the champion of the ninth platform.
As Yu Cangwu sat down, the audience in the Beast Arena became excited once again.
Because in just a little over an hour, it would be Xia family’s turn to enter the arena!
As the only Daoist clan in the Barbaric Southern Land and the host of the Beast Arena, the Xia family has always been in the top ten since the first Beast Arena, with most of the time sitting comfortably at first place.
This time, Xia family entering the top ten was without any suspense, and what everyone was curious about was which platform Xia family would challenge.
In everyone’s imagination, among the ten platforms now, besides Jiang Yun and the three major families, the other six champions all could become Xia family’s targets.
Therefore, these six champions are now all nervous and sweating profusely, they have persevered until now, and can see the final victory within reach.
If challenged by Xia family at this moment, all the efforts made before will be in vain.
Finally, under everyone’s attention, the people of Xia family have finally appeared.
Only one person!
A slightly yellowish complexion, thin and weak figure, small nose and eyes, and somewhat creepy-looking young man slowly entered the Beast Arena.
To be honest, although the bright yellow robe on the opponent represented his identity as a member of Xia family, seeing his appearance made everyone feel a bit disappointed.
He was really ordinary and not outstanding at all, there was simply nothing good about him.
Even the tall old man hosting the first round of competition couldn’t help but frown when he saw the young man.
The old man looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Why is it Mingyuan! Hmph, it must be Xia Zhongwu’s intention to let his son make a name for himself through this opportunity."
Xia Mingyuan, Xia Zhongwu’s only son!
Known as a playboy within the Xia family, he was good at everything, such as eating, drinking, gambling, and womanizing. Apart from relying on his father’s reputation to act recklessly, he had nothing worthy of mention.
His own strength was also very poor, only possessing cultivation up to the Blessed Land seventh level realm. Although not the worst, he was still second to last among the young generation of the Xia family.
Besides the tall old man, many people present also recognized Xia Mingyuan’s identity, and instantly understood that Xia Zhongwu wanted his son to gain fame.
Beast Arena, where beasts fought, did not have high requirements for the Beast Tamer’s own strength, making it a good opportunity to gain fame.
However, no matter who the Xia family sent, the six main challengers were silently praying that Xia Mingyuan would not challenge them.
Xia Mingyuan also knew what everyone was thinking, but intentionally walked slowly, with a faint smile on his face, clearly enjoying being the center of attention.
Finally, Xia Mingyuan reached the center of the arena, his gaze sweeping over ten platforms one by one.
Whenever any of the platform masters made eye contact with him, they would quickly nod and smile, then hastily look away, not daring to meet his gaze, including Yu Cangwu and Master Feng.
Only Jiang Yun and the Song family members did not look directly at him!
Xia Mingyuan continued to gaze at the ten platform masters, as if deciding who to challenge.
As time passed, the elderly man couldn’t help but speak up, "Mingyuan, time is running out, choose your platform quickly!"
Hearing the man’s urging, Xia Mingyuan showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and bluntly said, "Why rush? With Xia family’s beast taming skills, no matter who I challenge, the fight will be over in an instant!"
This statement made the elderly man frown, feeling equally dissatisfied; after all, he was an elder, and no one in the family dared to speak to him like that.
If it weren’t for everyone watching, he would have wanted to reprimand Xia Mingyuan.
After a moment, Xia Mingyuan finally raised his hand, extended his fingers, and pointed fiercely at a person, saying, "I challenge him!"
Seeing where Xia Mingyuan pointed, the huge Beast Arena fell silent instantly!
Even the ten Tao Spiritual Realm elders sitting above the sky couldn’t help but have their facial muscles twitching at this moment!
Because Xia Mingyuan chose to challenge Jiang Yun on the seventh platform!
Jiang Yun, whose origin was unknown, easily killed Yang Yanchao with his super beast, so his strength had long been recognized by everyone.
Also, everyone believed that with the Feng family supporting him, no one dared to challenge him again four days ago, not even the three major families.
However, now Xia Mingyuan unexpectedly named Jiang Yun specifically for a challenge, which surprised everyone greatly!
While the Xia family was extremely powerful, there were ten platforms here. Even if Jiang Yun and the people from the three major families were removed, there were still six targets to choose from.
Xia Mingyuan could easily enter the top ten by choosing any of them.
But he insisted on choosing Jiang Yun!
Even if Xia family’s group of animals could defeat Jiang Yun successfully, the several super beasts that Jiang Yun has would definitely cause some harm to Xia family’s group of animals.
To harm the enemy but also harm oneself, anyone with a bit of brains would not do such a thing!
"Damn it, all for the sake of showing off!"
However, someone soon understood the reason why Xia Mingyuan chose to challenge Jiang Yun!
The current Jiang Yun is very famous and successful, whoever can defeat him and take his place will surely become famous as well, with their reputation spreading throughout The Barbaric Southern Land.
Of course, the prerequisite is to have full confidence that one can truly defeat Jiang Yun!
Does Xia Mingyuan have that confidence?
"He should have that confidence!"
The wise old man thought to himself, "Xia Zhongwu spoils his only son so much, that he wouldn’t let Xia Mingyuan compete without being completely sure."
"Besides, this represents the reputation of the Xia family. If Xia Mingyuan loses, both father and son will face severe punishment according to the clan rules."
Seeing the expressions and reactions of the crowd, Xia Mingyuan felt even more delighted inside.
He had already noticed Jiang Yun and, to be honest, felt a bit envious of the attention he was getting.
He had imagined before the chance to stand on the arena stage and defeat Jiang Yun.
But, it was just a fantasy for him.
He had some self-awareness and knew that with his own abilities, he could never represent the Xia family in the Beast Arena.
However, to his surprise, his father was making his dream come true at that moment!
With the beautiful dream of defeating Jiang Yun in his heart, Xia Mingyuan finally stepped onto the seventh stage.
