Chapter 394: Don’t Look Down on the Young and Poor, Bro
Steelback Wild Boar Zhu Chong Ba.
A beefy warrior with yellow teeth, a pig nose, and drool dripping from his mouth.
Seeing this guy, Young Master Sang suddenly understood why Shi Qingyan would rather die than pretend to be a pig demon.
Sorry.
I seriously underestimated the randomness of the Demon Clan’s appearances.
“Zhu Chong Ba, the strongest of the young generation of the Pig Demon Clan. At the initial stage of Harmonization, he’s just slightly weaker than Mu Nala, but he can easily bully Chaya.”
Nian Nian’s voice chimed in: “Be careful while you act. Don’t blow your cover, okay?”
Young Master Sang shrugged.
In the spectator area, Mu Nala was already hugging Mama, chatting and laughing with other clan members.
That gloating expression clearly anticipated the moment he’d be beaten to a pulp.
Honestly, for Young Master Sang, pretending to struggle and overcome his opponent wouldn’t be too difficult.
But it felt unnecessary to act so pitiful here.
After all, his purpose in playing Chaya wasn’t to be the demon clan’s pig eating the tiger.
It was to… draw that guy’s attention. Young Master Sang lifted his head slightly, looking towards the spectator area.
Up there, Long Xiao was pointing and chatting away with the other clan heads, but their gaze was fixed on the Lion Demon, Fox Demon, and Snake Demon’s arena.
They didn’t even notice this inconspicuous little Fire Ape.
…Looks like in the Demon Clan, Fire Apes are pretty much just garbage tier.
Lost in thought, Young Master Sang didn’t realize that the Pig Demon in front of him was talking until its annoyance boiled over, and it swung its hammer at him.
By the time he snapped back to reality, the hammer was already right in front of his face.
Even those at the spectator stands, including Mu Nala and his crew, were starting to smirk.
However.
In the next moment, they were stunned with wide eyes.
The hammer didn’t crush Young Master Sang’s face; instead, he had caught it with one hand.
Young Master Sang casually swept his gaze around the battlefield and finally focused on the Fox Demon’s area.
Then.
He lifted the hammer.
Yanking along the confused Pig Demon still gripping it tightly.
He swung his arm and smashed it straight into the next arena.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang and smoke filling the air.
The Fox Demon and its opponent, who were deeply engaged in battle, now stared dumbfounded at the Pig Demon that had just fallen on the ground, dazed and seeing stars, too scared to even breathe.
The onlooking Mu Nala and the others were left with their mouths agape.
After a long pause, the equally bewildered Demon Clan referee finally shouted, “Fire Ape Clan’s Chaya wins.”
“W-What?!”
Mu Nala leapt to his feet, eyes wide with shock and disbelief: “This guy secretly broke through to the Harmonization Stage?!”
“That move just now, was the perfected Fire Ape Palm?! When did he learn that?!”
With the commotion from the Fox Demon’s area, Long Xiao and the other clan heads began to notice the strange happenings.
“Hm?” Long Xiao raised an eyebrow, turned his head, and said casually: “Old Zhu, your clan kid isn’t too shabby, huh?”
“He actually lost to Old Yuan?”
The plump Pig Demon behind him seemed to be losing face, glaring daggers at the Fire Ape Clan’s leader.
The leader of the Fire Ape Clan couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased but wondered for a moment.
This Chaya…
When did he get so strong?
Could it be he was hiding his true strength all along?
Under all the attention, Young Master Sang hung his head for a while, then slowly raised it with a cold smirk.
“Heh heh. Hahahaha.”
“Thirty years East of the River, thirty years West of the River, don’t look down on the young and poor!”
“Mu Nala, did you think I was still that weakling from back then?”
“Let me tell you!” Young Master Sang boldly pointed at Mu Nala in the stands, “After battling the Rhino Demon, I made a breakthrough and entered the Harmonization Stage!”
“Today, I’ll make you repay the humiliation I endured in spades!”
In the spectator area, Mu Nala’s expression darkened, while the Fire Apes beside him had different looks on their faces.
Mama watched Young Master Sang’s sharp demeanor, her eyes gradually brightening with intrigue.
On the high platform, Long Xiao and the others couldn’t help but laugh heartily at Young Master Sang’s declaration.
“What a line, ‘Thirty years East of the River, thirty years West of the River.’”
“Seems like Old Yuan’s generation finally has a bright seedling.”
On the arena, Young Master Sang dramatically waved his sleeves, icy and arrogant: “Who’s next?”
…Chaya, bro.
I can only help you this much.
The scene you longed for in your dreams, I’ve already made it happen.
Soon, I’ll give your rival Mu Nala a beating.
Then I’ll show off and attract your childhood sweetheart.
By the time you come back, you should be able to savor the joy of your dreams coming true.
Guess it’s worth getting thrashed in that cave after all.
Young Master Sang thought quietly.
——
——
To uphold his flashy principles.
In the following battles, Young Master Sang defeated his opponents effortlessly, dramatizing each victory.
Gradually, Long Xiao and the others began to discuss Young Master Sang as they commented on the ongoing matches.
“Whoa, not bad, he took down another one.”
“Who’s this time? Old Carving, didn’t your little girl say ‘women can stand shoulder to shoulder with men’?”
“Dead deer, didn’t yours get thrown out in two or three moves? Fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, huh?”
“Oh, looks like he’s up against his own clansman. Old Yuan, that kid over there, isn’t he your son?”
The Fire Ape leader grinned awkwardly.
On the arena, the next opponent walking up to face Young Master Sang was none other than Chaya’s rival, Mu Nala.
“Chaya, don’t think you can match me just because you broke through at the last moment.”
Mu Nala glared coldly at Young Master Sang: “I won’t hesitate to tell you. While you were hiding your strength, I was hiding mine too.”
“Now I’m already a late-stage Harmonization Tier 7 powerhouse.”
“Even if you’ve just stepped into Harmonization, what are you going to use to bridge the gap?”
Young Master Sang didn’t reply; he just smirked: “You’ll find out if you try.”
Mu Nala, fuming, roared and swung his wolf tooth club straight at Young Master Sang’s face.
However, the next moment.
To his surprise, Young Master Sang seemed to make no effort to resist, spewing blood as he flew back.
Mu Nala: “?”
Uh, wasn’t I just testing him?
I didn’t even use my full strength!
Could it be he was merely faking it all along?
Is he actually just a weak chick?
Just as Mu Nala was in a daze, Young Master Sang suddenly staggered to his feet a distance away, coldly wiping the blood at the corner of his mouth.
“Hehe, Mu Nala.”
“Didn’t see this coming, huh?”
“Thanks to the pressure you gave me. In the face of life and death, I’ve broken through again!”
From Young Master Sang, the aura belonging to Fire Ape Chaya surged upwards, now reaching Harmonization Tier 2.
Mu Nala: “…Huh?”
“Thirty years East of the River, thirty years West of the River, don’t look down on the young and poor!”
Young Master Sang smirked: “Today, I’ll make you repay all the humiliations I’ve suffered over these years!”
