Chapter 0400: Angus

The second day.
The sun shone brightly once again. After being repaired by the earth-elemental godly warriors from the six major families last night, there was no trace left of the fierce battle between the Rainbow Coiling Dragon and Kennedy.
However, today, the contestants’ expressions were noticeably more cautious.
The trillions of godly warriors watching from the surrounding mountains were the same way—frequently looking up at the sky. Even the six major families kept their defensive arrays active as a precaution.
In the competitions among the descendants of the six major families from the Netherworld, each family sent a thousand people, totaling six thousand contestants. Six hundred competed in each of the three rounds per day. After the first round, Huang Long would not participate in the second round until ten days later.
Yet on the second day, Huang Long and Chester also arrived at the competition site. That’s because it was Fat Francis’s turn to compete. In Fat Francis’s words, with Huang Long and his brother by his side, his courage would soar, and who knows—maybe he’d even pull off a move as stunning as Huang Long’s to shock everyone.
The three of them walked toward the site.
Because of Huang Long, they became the focus of many godly warriors. Many of them stared at Huang Long and whispered among themselves.
Feeling the gazes of others, Fat Francis straightened his back and puffed out his chest, looking bold.
Seeing this, Chester felt embarrassed and secretly kicked Fat Francis.
After arriving at the site, the three of them stopped.
But just as they settled in, a person stepped forward from among the descendants of the Beikal family and approached them. Seeing the newcomer, Chester frowned, and Fat Francis’s expression also became uneasy.
It was Anlis.
Her arrival drew frequent glances from the descendants of the six major families, including those from the Beikal family. Anlis’s beauty was well-known among them.
“Chester, Brother Francis,” Anlis said with a smile as she approached Chester and Francis, then turned to Huang Long and nodded kindly.
Huang Long and his companions nodded in return.
“Brother Chester, where’s Angus? Hasn’t he come?” Anlis asked next.
Chester hesitated for a moment before saying, “My younger brother hasn’t come.” For now, he could only hide the truth.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Anlis’s eyes. “It’s been tens of thousands of years, and he still hasn’t come to see me. Has he forgotten our promise?”
Chester knew she was referring to their wedding. A wave of sadness overwhelmed him. Seeing her sorrowful expression, he opened his mouth but ultimately said, “My younger brother has never forgotten our promise to you.”
Anlis’s face lit up with joy. “Really?”

But just as Chester was about to speak, a voice suddenly interjected from the side, “Of course it’s fake!” Hearing this, Chester turned around, his eyes filled with anger. A cold glint appeared in Yellow Dragon’s eyes as he saw Fei De walking over with a smile. “Miss Anlice,” Fei De said, ignoring Chester’s angry gaze and smiling at Anlice. “It’s you.” Anlice recognized Fei De from the Runing family and asked anxiously, “What did you mean by what you said just now?” “Fei De, you’re not welcome here. You’d better leave!” Chester said angrily, pointing at Fei De. “Leave? This is an arena. Whether I leave or not is my business. Chester, I really don’t understand why you’d deceive Miss Anlice like this. Are you afraid I’ll reveal the truth, that’s why you’re so eager to get me to leave?” Fei De sneered in return. “The truth?” Anlice’s expression changed upon hearing this. She looked at Chester and then turned to Fei De, asking, “What truth?” “Sister, Father is calling you,” Fei De was about to speak when Saxton from the Beikal family suddenly approached. Hearing this, Anlice stopped talking. But as she left, her face showed suspicion and disappointment. Although Fei De had explained things, from Chester and the others’ expressions, she had already guessed something. Chester, the fat man, and Saxton greeted each other. Before leaving, Saxton passed by Fei De and said coldly, “Fei De, it’s not your place to meddle in my sister’s affairs. What are you planning? Do you think I don’t know?” He then snorted disdainfully. Fei De looked awkward, his eyes flickering as he watched Saxton leave. After Saxton left, Fei De, feeling embarrassed, went back to his seat. Before leaving, he said to Yellow Dragon, “You haven’t disappointed me. I hope you won’t disappoint me either.” To compete for the 300 spots, the descendants of the six major families naturally competed against those from other families. The descendants of the same family didn’t have a chance to compete. But once 300 spots were filled and ranking competitions began, the descendants of the same family would have to compete among themselves. Judging from Yellow Dragon’s strength shown yesterday, he would surely make it into those 300 spots, so he might encounter Fei De during the ranking process. Yellow Dragon replied indifferently, “Don’t worry. I never disappoint anyone.” Fei De sneered and turned to leave. The fat man, Francis, watched him go and said angrily, “What kind of guy is that? Brother Huang Hai, once you get in, if you end up facing him, make sure he ends up eating dog shit like Van Lending!”

Yet as the fat man finished speaking, Bishop’s voice rang out from the Platform of Forgetfulness, announcing today’s competitors and opponents. “Francis from the Runing family,” Bishop said, glancing in this direction as he mentioned the fat man, before continuing, “against Augus from the Terrence family.” When Francis heard who his opponent was, he trembled violently and nearly fainted. Augus from the Terrence family?! Augus was known as the strongest among the third-generation members of the Terrence family, and among the 1,000 members of the Terrence family participating this time, he was universally recognized as the strongest! In the very first match, he had to fight Augus?! Francis could hardly bear such a blow. On the Platform of Forgetfulness, Elder Barret looked displeased but couldn’t say anything to Bishop, as the opponent had been chosen just moments ago by a roulette wheel in front of the leaders of the six major families. Francis slowly made his way to the fighting platform. Across from him, Augus, with silver hair and an air of elegance, stared coldly at Francis: “Francis, right? I heard you have a good relationship with that Huang Hai.” Francis naturally understood the implication in Augus’s words. His fat face contorted—seemed like he was in for a tough time. Sure enough, as soon as Bishop shouted, “The match begins!” from the Platform of Forgetfulness, Augus transformed into a blue beam and attacked Francis at lightning speed, leaving Francis pale with fear. But Francis was already on guard. In a panic, he quickly stepped back and transformed into his True Dragon form. However, even in his dragon form, he remained roughly the same size as before—still heavily fat. Just as he stepped back and transformed, Augus’s attack came again. Raising both hands, he unleashed a greenish-blue blade glow with an eerie light, slashing down. Instantly, Francis was sent flying like grass in a gust of wind. It was similar to when the Yellow Dragon kicked Fan Lending of the Terrence family off the platform. After crashing to the ground, Francis rolled off the platform. “Fat man!” Chester cried out upon seeing Francis’s crushing defeat. After knocking Francis away, Augus stood proudly in the air and glanced at the Yellow Dragon below, his eyes filled with defiance. The Yellow Dragon’s eyes flashed, and their gazes met invisibly in the air. “Did I win the match?” Augus’s calm voice rang out, exactly the same tone as when he had questioned the match supervisor earlier.

“Yes, yes, you won!” The shocked steward snapped back to reality and hurriedly said. At that moment, the other competition areas had just begun the fierce battles. Augus was the first to defeat his opponent, Fat Francis, in this round of competitions. On the Platform of Forgetting, Dominique, the second eldest of the Terrence family, spoke to Barret with a smile, saying, “Elder Barret, I’m sorry. Augus always fights without restraint.” Augus was actually the grandson of Dominique, the second eldest of the Terrence family. Barret snorted coldly and said nothing. Then, screams arose again from below the competition stage. Everyone looked over and saw that Saxton from Region 60 had defeated a member of the Demos family, becoming the second person to defeat an opponent in this round. On the stage, Woodlow, the head of the Beccar family, saw his son easily defeat his opponent. Although he knew his son’s strength, he still couldn’t help but smile, though he also felt a bit disappointed that his son hadn’t become the first to defeat an opponent in this round, with the spotlight taken by Augus from the Terrence family. Woodlow glanced at Augus below the stage, his expression turning solemn. If his son wanted to be first, Augus would likely be one of the biggest obstacles. Of course, just because Saxton hadn’t become the first to defeat an opponent in this round didn’t mean he was weaker than Augus. After all, it also depended on their opponents. Fat Francis’s opponent was clearly weaker than Saxton’s opponent. The competitions continued. Huang Long and Chester took Fat Francis back to the Ruining Family’s mountain palace. As the three left, screams and cheers echoed behind them. On the fourth day, it was Chester’s first round of competition. His opponent was a member of the Stanny family. Although their strengths were roughly equal, Chester managed to win by a narrow margin. As a result, Huang Long and Chester advanced to the second round, while only Fat Francis was eliminated. Because of this, Fat Francis remained depressed for several days and, of course, was scolded by his grandfather Barret for days as well. Time passed. Gradually, ten days went by. After the first round of competitions, only three thousand out of the six thousand members of the six major families advanced to the second round. During these ten days, to the relief of the six major families and the gods, the Chaotic Primal Beast, the Seven-Color Coiling Dragon, did not appear again. Of course, during these ten days, Huang Hai was constantly the subject of discussion among the gods. Ten days later, the second round of competitions began.
