Not many who came to the Demon Beast Battlefield managed to stay.
But every single one who remained was an Elite Level existence.
Forget a Beast Tide of a thousand.
Even facing a Beast Tide of ten thousand, they could still chat this calmly.
After all, the people here had long grown indifferent to life and death, the type to fight at the slightest provocation.
But when it was mentioned that Fang Xiu was a Sacrificial Master,
everyone found it a bit incredible.
For years, nothing had been able to stir their hearts.
But they never expected that today, their resolve would be shaken.
’This rookie is way too strong, isn’t he?’
"Watch out!"
Just then, a Level 35 Demon Beast snuck up behind Fang Xiu and swiped a claw directly at him.
One of the Awakened spotted it and hurriedly shouted a warning.
But when the Demon Beast’s claw fell, the bloody scene everyone expected didn’t happen.
Fang Xiu was unharmed, and not even his clothes were damaged.
Then, they watched as Fang Xiu turned and threw a punch straight at the Demon Beast.
This time, he didn’t send it flying.
Instead, he smashed its head straight into the ground.
A barrage of punches followed, raining down relentlessly.
Fang Xiu had violently smashed the Demon Beast’s head open.
Red and white matter splattered everywhere.
"That... What incredible arm strength!"
"His Defense Power is really high, too!"
"That was a Level 35 Demon Beast! It might not have been a Power System type, but it was still very strong. It couldn’t even break through his Defense?"
"And you’re... telling me *that’s* a Sacrificial Master?"
"You’ve got to be kidding me!"
By this point, more and more people had taken notice of Fang Xiu’s actions.
After all, Fang Xiu had only just arrived today.
And his strength was supposed to be the weakest among them.
They just never imagined that this "weakest" one could be so strong.
"Sister Jian, what Level is that guy?"
At that moment, someone couldn’t help but ask Jian Ying, who was standing nearby.
They hadn’t been interested in Fang Xiu before.
That was because he looked so young; even if he was here to be an instructor, they figured he was just like them.
But now, Fang Xiu seemed entirely different!
"Who?"
Jian Ying paused for a moment.
Then she looked over at Fang Xiu, and realization dawned.
"Oh, you mean Fang Xiu. I think he’s Level 27. After all, he’s a rookie who had his Awakening less than two months ago. You all should look after him, understand?"
Jian Ying said.
She was fairly knowledgeable about Fang Xiu.
Besides, she was basically in charge of this sector.
Since the higher-ups had told her to look after Fang Xiu, she naturally wasn’t going to refuse.
"Level 27?"
"Less than two months?"
"A rookie?"
"Look after him?"
The surrounding Awakened seized on each of those words.
’Holy hell, a guy who had his Awakening two months ago and is already Level 27, and you call him a rookie.’
’Fine, a rookie. A Level 27 rookie who can slaughter Level 40 Demon Beasts this fluidly.’
’And you’re still telling us to ’look after’ him?’
’Who’s supposed to be looking after whom?’
BAM!!
At that moment, not too far away, Fang Xiu had just punched a Level 40 Demon Beast to death.
Then the Demon Beast’s body flew through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground.
All the Awakened: "..."
’Does he really need them to look after him?’
If anything, it felt... like it should be Fang Xiu looking after them.
Even a Level 40 Power System Awakened here wouldn’t dare claim they could kill a Level 40 Demon Beast with a single punch, right?
But this Level 27 newly "Awakened" rookie could do it.
’Is this... the difference?’
"Ahem, let’s all try to interact nicely in the future. He’s an SSS Level Awakened. You should all know that these kinds of anomalies... can be truly anomalous!"
Jian Ying said with a resigned sigh.
Fang Xiu’s power was simply too immense.
She and the others had already witnessed it before.
So, seeing it now wasn’t particularly surprising.
If Fang Xiu were to use that Thunder Skill of his again, these people’s legs would probably turn to jelly from fright.
After all, that was Fang Xiu’s truly powerful Skill.
This reliance on brute force wasn’t even his strongest asset.
’Even if he’s an anomaly, he can’t be *this* anomalous! He’s a Sacrificial Master, not from the Power System!’
At this moment, countless Awakened were complaining internally.
If he were an SSS Level Power System Awakened who had reached Level 27 and possessed such Power, they would have only been mildly surprised.
But now... the Awakened before them, Fang Xiu... was a Sacrificial Master.
Forget an SSS Level Sacrificial Master—even an SSSSS Level Sacrificial Master was still a Sacrificial Master!
Sacrificial Masters relied on Sacrifice, not Power!
How were they supposed to accept this?
Even though they knew Fang Xiu’s gloves had a Power-enhancing effect, it was still just an enhancement. You needed to have immense Power to begin with to get such a noticeable boost.
So... these Awakened were taking a huge blow to their pride.
This was especially true for the Power System Awakened, who all looked like defeated roosters.
They wouldn’t have felt so humiliated even if they had lost to another Power System Awakened.
But now, they were losing to a Sacrificial Master.
A Sacrificial Master, a rare Profession.
They were being beaten in the realm of Power by a Sacrificial Master.
This... was absolutely shattering their confidence!
Seeing this, Jian Ying, who was off to the side, just chuckled to herself.
’Weren’t these prideful Awakened completely dismissive of him when he first arrived?’
’Why are they all speechless now, stunned by his power?’
’But this is good, too. It’s not a bad thing to knock them down a peg.’
’This is a rush!’
At that moment, Fang Xiu himself was having a great time.
After all, he had never fought like this before.
Previously, Fang Xiu had only used his gloves to increase his Power and fight a few Demon Beasts.
After that, he had relied on his Skills to finish the job.
But now, influenced by these other Awakened, Fang Xiu was fighting directly with his Power.
The feeling was incredibly gratifying.
Fang Xiu had never experienced anything like it before!
’This feels awesome!’
Fang Xiu took down one Little Demon Beast with every punch.
Whether it was a Level 35, a Level 45, or even a Level 49 Demon Beast,
Fang Xiu sent them all flying with a single punch.
’It seems this Beast Tamer can mostly control Demon Beasts below Level 50, and controlling this many must be their limit.’
Fang Xiu thought to himself as he fought.
Not a single Level 50 Demon Beast had appeared here.
The highest Level was a Level 49 Demon Beast that Fang Xiu had just smashed to death.
But even so, controlling over a thousand Demon Beasts couldn’t be easy for a Beast Tamer.
’This Beast Tamer’s strength must be at least Level 50 and above.’
’And they’ve been able to control the Demon Beasts for this long, which probably means this isn’t a Skill, is it?’
Fang Xiu knew that any Skill would eventually time out.
The battle had already been going on for over ten minutes, but this "Skill" hadn’t disappeared.
That made it highly likely that this so-called Skill didn’t exist at all.
Of course, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of a Skill that didn’t consume Spiritual Power or had no cooldown.
’I should find that Beast Tamer quickly. They’re probably hiding nearby. But what is their goal?’
The first person Fang Xiu thought of was Si Qian, Jian Ying’s senior.
After Fang Xiu killed him, his body had been brought back here.
’If it’s people from Dianxing Studio, it’s possible they want to get the body back.’
Of course, he couldn’t rule out that they might just be attacking the settlement here.
However, Fang Xiu felt the second possibility was less likely than the first.
There were over a hundred powerful Awakened here.
And all of them were highly experienced fighters who were extremely familiar with the Demon Beast Battlefield.
If they really chose this moment to try and break in with just a thousand Demon Beasts,
that would be a bit too much like wishful thinking.
’Unless... there’s more than one enemy Awakened?’
A new possibility occurred to Fang Xiu.
"Master, I’ve found them!"
Just then, Kajimi’s voice once again sounded in Fang Xiu’s ear.
’Them?’
’So it really isn’t just one Beast Tamer!’
