"Wait." Yan Di stopped the evil beast, "Who told you to come here? Where are the two orcs outside?"
The evil beast's lips trembled as he finally spoke, "It was Sheyan who told them not to guard anymore, and then asked me to take their place, so I..." He looked at Ai Chu and didn't say anything else.
Yuan Ze narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, "Yan Di, lock him in the cage."
Yan Di understood and knew that he was talking about Sheyan.
A scream pierced the sky, and the evil beast fell to its knees, looking at its broken arm, blood gushing out from it.
Shen Qi frowned slightly, not because she felt pity for him, she would not sympathize with such a person, but it was his blood that stained the house.
As Yuanze left, Yan Di looked at the evil beast still standing there and shouted at him, "Why don't you get out of here?!"
Looking at his almost crawling body, Yan Di smiled at Chen Qi, "Xiao Qi, I'll leave first if you're alright~"
Shen Qi nodded lightly.
When they reached the door, Yan Di suddenly turned around to look at her with a meaningful smile on his face. "There will be an ability test tomorrow, you must come."
Shen Qi listened to his last words and pondered in his mind.
Ability...test?
——
The next day, the sky turned pale and the warm sun washed away the haze.
Shen Qi heard a commotion in the distance and went out to see that there were no evil beasts watching outside the door. She asked an evil beast that was passing by.
The evil beast glanced at her before replying, "The king planned a venue in the center of the city yesterday, saying that a test of abilities will be held today. Many beastmen are rushing over to watch. Aren't you going?"
Shen Qi said calmly: "I'll go later."
She returned to the cave and saw that Ai Chu had also finished washing up. She thought of what Yan Di had said yesterday, "Ai Chu, come with me to the city center."
"Okay." Ai Chu didn't doubt her and did whatever she said.
When they arrived at the crowded place, they saw from afar the orc in a black robe with red stripes leaning lazily and casually on a position higher than them, from which he could clearly see any of their actions.
It seemed that his gaze was a little hot, and his evil eyes darted towards her, and her eyes met his.
Shen Qi looked away almost instantly, then observed whether there were any other dangerous orcs.
Yan Di next to him noticed his gaze and looked over there. Seeing that it was Shen Qi, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
Shen Qi was pulling Ai Chu to take her away from this crowded place when a teasing smile came from behind her.
Shen Qi turned around and saw Yan Di.
When the orcs next to her saw that it was Yan Di, they made way for him, and she didn't feel so crowded anymore.
He teased her with a curled lip, "You're so small compared to them, there's such a gap." He chuckled and said, "You can't see the center from here, it's all blocked by their heads. Come with me to the field."
"But you actually came. I thought if you didn't come, I would have to invite you here myself."
"Come on, follow me to the king."
Shen Qi paused, then pulled Ai Chu to follow him to the side of the Evil Beast King, but she was the farthest away from him.
The one closest to him was the female who could transform - Ruolan.
From time to time, she would look at the evil beast lazily leaning on the side, and the affection in her eyes was particularly obvious.
There was a large empty space in the middle, and Yan Di explained to her.
"Orcs above level three have the opportunity to challenge. Every pair of male beasts of the same level will face off. They can also choose to compete with other beasts to demonstrate their abilities. As long as the other party agrees, the higher-level winner will be rewarded with a superior beast core."
"Also, the winner has a better chance of mate-ing with a female~"
Ruolan heard the voice beside her ear and glanced at her.
How could this androgynous male beast be here? They had always been the only ones qualified to stand here, so how could this male beast, who had appeared out of nowhere and had only been here for a short time, be able to stand here?
He can stay here, and the king didn't refuse, which must mean that the king acquiesced. Is he... very powerful?
Ruolan slowly clenched her fists.
"Let's start." Yan Di looked at the orcs who were eager to try, and he was also very interested.
Below, two burly and strong male beasts first came out, with high spirits on their faces and their blood boiling.
Yan Di snapped his fingers and gave an order, and they started fighting rapidly.
Judging from their speed and strength attributes, Shen Qi from above seemed to be third-level male beasts.
However, the two beasts had different shapes. The pig beast was fatter and was obviously at a disadvantage. It was quickly beaten to the ground.
She saw an orc give a third-level beast core to the evil beast he had won.
After rounds of competition, no one went to the center anymore. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Ruolan jumped into the middle of the field, raised her head and invited all the beasts to a fight.
"Ruolan has personally challenged us, are you going?"
"What level is she? I'm only level three. How can I beat her?"
"I finally have the chance to compete with Ruolan, I can't waste it, I'm going first!"
After saying this, a dark smile flashed in the eyes of the evil beast, and it walked straight towards Ruolan.
He smiled at Ruolan and stroked his stubbled chin. "Ruolan, I remember you're only at level three. I'll let you have a move first. If I win, I'll be your partner!"
Ruolan looked at him with disdain, "Stop talking nonsense!"
After she finished speaking, she heard a command and used her leopard claw skills to strike him, leaving three hideous bloody marks on his face.
"Hiss." The demonic beast gasped, somewhat incredulous, surprised at her speed. "Ruolan, you've reached level four so quickly?!"
"Go on! Weren't you very confident just now?" Ruolan looked coldly at the blood dripping from his face. He still wanted to choose her as his partner. He was dreaming. If she wanted to be one, she would be the queen!
The evil beast on the opposite side gritted its teeth, rushed towards her at full speed, and started fighting with her.
Seeing that he couldn't win, he finally transformed into a beast. Seeing this, Ruolan also transformed into a leopard and counterattacked. In the end, she won and knocked him to the ground.
"Who else?" Ruolan raised her chin even higher and looked at those cowardly orcs.
As expected, these cowardly evil beasts were not worthy of standing beside the king, and they didn't even dare to step forward for a competition.
She looked at the male beast in the main seat with passionate eyes, but he didn't even glance at her. She turned her head in disappointment and saw Shen Qi with a cold face, and her eyes moved.
"You! I challenge you!"
The high pitch was deafening, and all the male beasts looked in the direction Ruolan was pointing. Yan Di raised his eyebrows when he saw that she was pointing at the person next to him.
Yuanze's lazy gaze also turned to the frail figure. Ruolan saw it, and a layer of anger welled up in her eyes. She spoke more forcefully, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Seeing that she didn't say a word, she continued to provoke her, as if she would keep shouting unless she agreed.
"You're such a coward for a male beast? Your body is even thinner than mine, yet you still have the nerve to stand there. You don't dare to compete with a female like me. Are you afraid?"
