Chapter 739 - 346: Above the Sequential!_1
Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun exchanged a glance with each other.
In the end, Shu Liangjun nodded at Shui Miao, then whispered to Fang Mu.
"Infinite Envoy, let me go first in this duel!"
Shu Liangjun’s tone was filled with respect.
Fang Mu knew this was a show Shu Liangjun put on to coordinate with him, which made him feel grateful.
For a powerhouse like Shu Liangjun, there was no need to lower himself as part of the Infinite Tower, let alone refer to himself as an Infinite Envoy.
However, the more powerful the force, the stricter the rules within it.
Shu Liangjun’s behavior instantly elevated Fang Mu’s status as an Infinite Envoy.
"Elder Shu, I appreciate your help!"
Fang Mu casually said this to Shu Liangjun, appearing totally composed, as if the Beast Controlling Forces mattered nothing to him.
But in truth, Fang Mu was quite nervous at the moment.
In such a duel with the Beast Controlling Forces, Fang Mu was not sure if Shu Liangjun would definitely win.
If we are to speak of who had the best chance of winning, Fang Mu himself would’ve been the candidate.
As long as the opponent launched a fatal attack on him, triggering the specific feature of the Blood of Abundance[End of Ash Dyed], they could potentially lose their life as a result of their own attack.
For the Beasts that had grown up in the wild adhering to the jungle laws, Fang Mu wasn’t certain if the injuries he would take would be more severe than that of these Beasts.
But for those from the powerful Beast Taming Tribes, born and nurtured by top powerhouses, these Beasts seldom had the opportunity to suffer severe injuries.
Even after growing into the top powerhouses of the Beast Taming Tribes for many years, the injuries they sustained may not necessarily be more severe than what Fang Mu suffered in these few months.
Just like how the Soul Whale Princess treated her progeny, as if they were her own little gems.
Fang Mu learned from his conversations with the Soul Whale Princess that the injuries her progeny suffered this time from being captured by the Gao Family was the most severe they had ever experienced from young till now.
For the powerful Beastmaster Tribe to have new members born, it is far more difficult than the prestigious human families welcoming a new generation.
Therefore, the Beast Controlling Force is much more protective over their offspring than human powers.
However, Fang Mu could not take the initiative.
Firstly, if Fang Mu took the initiative, it would result in the death of the opponent Beast, even if it was due to their own attack.
This would surely provoke the hatred of the Beast Taming Tribe where the opponent resided.
This kind of hatred transcends status, and is often irreconcilable to the death.
Fang Mu would rather not invite a powerful Beast Taming Tribe to be his enemy.
Secondly, in a duel resulting in the opponent’s death, Fang Mu would not only fail to earn the qualification to enter the ruins, but would also have to pay a 20% penalty of the qualification to the Beast Controlling Force.
The third point is that Fang Mu could not expose his hidden aces in front of a crowd.
Only when someone secretly targets Fang Mu, when Shui Miao, Shu Liangjun, and Qin Shao could not protect him, then would Fang Mu display his hidden aces.
For the first round of the duel, the Beast Controlling Forces went first. According to the rules, it was now the turn of humans to go first.
Both Xuan Feather Surprised Crane and Luili Red Flame Deer frowned when they saw Shu Liangjun stepping forward.
They had heard about human powerhouses like Qian Ying, but they could not recognize Shu Liangjun, who had disguised himself with the Noface Star Paper and appeared as a gentle, unremarkable middle-aged man in appearance.
Not only could the Beast Controlling Forces not recognize Shu Liangjun, the people on the human side were also guessing his identity.
The people from the human side had seen Shu Liangjun take action before.
With a single Ghost Device, he had captured forty Ghast Ghouls, whose strength was comparable to those of the Sequential Fourth Beast, in an instant.
This left Mr. Zi without the capital to contend for supremacy.
Judging from the power displayed by Shu Liangjun through the Ghost Device just now, his Ghost Device is of the space attribute.
Space attributes are not common, much rarer than natural attributes.
Shu Liangjun had just used the Ghost Device to deal with the Ghast Ghouls, and pulled back his hand in a mere moment.
It is difficult for one to figure out what is extraordinary about Shu Liangjun’s Space Series Ghost Device.
Some of the Beast Taming Tribes would reveal internal news to humans for their own interests, such as Elder Bright Edge of the Luminous Snake Clan who had revealed a lot of internal news of the Beast Taming Tribes to Fang Mu.
It is estimated that there are also people on the side of the human forces who are secretly passing messages to the Beast Controlling Forces for benefits.
Otherwise, those Beast Controlling Forces would not have been able to block the human forces so precisely.
They made it so a large portion of the human forces failed to reach the area where the ruins were.
He Xin flapped his wings a couple of times and said to Lu Zhuo.
"Why don’t I take this round of duel!?"
He Xin knew his fighting style was very special, and was not counteracted by the power of space attributes.
On the other hand, Lu Zhuo’s power was mainly based on Elemental Energy, which was easily counteracted by the power of space.
He Xin and Lu Zhuo had received the news of the recent scuffle between the Infinite Tower and the Evil Heart Sect.
The next person from Infinite Tower who was about to take the field would use water attribute-related abilities.
At that time, this side could send out another secret weapon.
Lu Zhuo could take on the remaining two powerhouses on the human side, and in all likelihood, win another round.
Even if the secret weapon against the Water Attribute Stronghold failed to take effect, the Beast Controlling Forces would at least gain 60% of the qualification to enter the ruins.
