Wei Qiang's name was actually quite well-known.
He was born in the military and killed people like scything flax. For the first thirty years of his life, he lived a life of blood and sabers. If nothing went wrong, he would end up like his companions, dying on the battlefield and buried in the wilderness. Years later, he would be washed out by the rain, becoming a skeleton that no one could recognize.
But sometimes, luck would change for the better.
Wei Qiang's luck changed during a battle. His original pet beast had died in battle and the situation was extremely unfavorable. Wei Qiang and his team probably wouldn't last until nightfall.
It was then that Wei Qiang and his team discovered an underground tomb.
Under normal circumstances, ancient tombs were dangerous and were considered inauspicious. Unless there were any special circumstances, ordinary people would avoid them. Of course, for some capable people, ancient tombs had another advantage, and that was that there would often be treasures inside.
Back then, Wei Qiang and his team were in a frenzy of bloodlust. Why would they be afraid of inauspiciousness? When they saw the tomb, they immediately went down to investigate, probably hoping to find some gold or silver.
However, they encountered great danger and almost all of Wei Qiang's companions died.
Wei Qiang would never forget that scene for the rest of his life. He was lucky enough to survive, but that was because he was chosen by that terrifying beast to be its blood contract owner.
Because in order to leave an ancient tomb, something had to use a medium.
Wei Qiang didn't tell anyone about this.
That was, he had to listen to his pet beast. It wasn't a man controlling a beast, but a beast controlling a man.
However, Wei Qiang didn't care about this. What he cared about was his meteoric rise. If he could satisfy his selfish desires, so what if he was controlled by a beast?
Now that His Highness had spoken, Wei Qiang nodded, stepped forward, and activated his mystic art.
The next instant, his stomach suddenly swelled up. Then, it was as if something was moving up from his stomach, down his throat, and onto the ground.
It was a terrifying scene. Wei Qiang's neck and mouth were stretched to their maximum size. Those who didn't know better would think they would burst. However, Wei Qiang's body seemed to be different from others. His neck and mouth were several times larger than normal and yet he was fine.
Looking at the thing he spat out, it was clearly a piece of flesh.
It was scarlet red with a layer of mucus.
In the next moment, the mass of flesh and blood began to grow at an insane rate. Bones began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, mixing with the flesh and blood. It squirmed and expanded continuously, and in a short period of time, it had grown to the size of a giant elephant.
Seeing this scene, both the city guards and the surrounding commoners felt their scalps go numb, and they subconsciously retreated.
On the other hand, Wei Yan's eyes were filled with a kind of smugness. It was a smugness that all of them had to submit to him.
Although he was in great pain now.
Every time he summoned this pet beast, he would feel terrible for a while, but that was fine. Because every time, he would find satisfaction in other ways.
In Wei Qiang's heart, this was an equivalent exchange. As an ordinary soldier, he was able to obtain the power and status he had today because of this exchange.
Therefore, he was even more arrogant because he thought that he deserved all of this.
All of you, just wait and see. When this Direbeast appears, you will know what fear is and what it means to be the strongest Tier 5, Wei Qiang thought to himself.
The mass of flesh and blood was still changing, but its silhouette was gradually taking shape.
It looked like it had a human torso, a lion's head, bull's horns, a tiger's tail, eagle's wings, arms like an ape's, and legs like a wolf's hooves. Every part of its body looked like a part of a ferocious beast.
Most importantly, after taking shape, this thing still had no skin. It looked a little like a skinned frog.
At this moment, the unknown hundred beast stood up with a violent look in its eyes. No one dared to make eye contact with it. Even the surrounding beasts were so scared that they curled up into a ball, not daring to make a single sound.
His Highness was pleased.
This was the deterrent effect he wanted. Truth be told, Wei Qiang was usually very flamboyant and demanded high prices. But no matter what, His Highness was satisfied because he valued Wei Qiang's strength.
This Hundred Beast Monster was definitely the strongest among the fifth rank beasts.
In their kingdom, no other beasts could go up against it.
It was the same in other places. Just the number of Tier 5 beasts that submitted to this Direbeast numbered more than ten. It was for this reason that it earned the title of the strongest Tier 5 beast.
From the prince's point of view, a fifth-order beast was already the pinnacle of existence in this world. He had never heard of a beast that surpassed fifth-order, so from this point of view, Wei Qiang's Hundred Beast Monster was the strongest in the world.
Lin Jin might be famous, but in terms of combat strength, he was definitely no match for this creature. His Highness had come here to discuss terms with Lin Jin, to see if they could work together and help each other out.
His Highness was just a Direbeast. If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he needed external help.
Clearly, Jade Dragon Kingdom and Lin Jin were his choices. Now that Lin Jin was so famous, it would be a waste not to borrow his strength. Hence, he came.
However, he didn't expect to be ignored like this. Still, His Highness wasn't surprised. If he didn't show off his skills, how would he know what he was capable of?
Now that the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom knew about him, they would know how to entertain him.
At this, His Highness looked pleased with himself.
The Direbeast's aura was indeed terrifying. In fact, it didn't just affect their surroundings, but the entire royal capital as well.
Lin Jin was undoubtedly the first to notice this aura.
He was currently inside the palace. He Qian had personally come to fetch him early in the morning and they had been chatting as they waited for the ceremony to begin.
Suddenly, a domineering aura emanated, startling many pet beasts around them.
"What a strong aura." Lin Jin was stunned. That aura was even trying to suppress his three pet beasts.
However, it was still lacking.
It wasn't just the ghost-blood beast's aura that couldn't be suppressed. Xiao Huo didn't even need to think about it.
A Rank 7 pet beast was equivalent to a true immortal. That aura earlier was at most at the pseudo immortal realm, an entire realm apart.
However, this was Lin Jin's first time sensing such a powerful beast's aura in Middle Earth, especially in Jade Dragon Kingdom. This surprised him.
"I have to go take a look." Lin Jin was about to get up when someone reported to him that someone had caused trouble in the royal capital.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin had a rough idea of what was going on.
They must be a group of people. However, Lin Jin didn't know what they were up to. Why would they want to cause trouble on Jade Dragon Kingdom's auspicious day?
Lin Jin was calm, but He Qian couldn't.
Upon hearing that someone was causing trouble, He Qian flew into a rage.
