The entire Arena fell silent, with only the Two-Headed Python letting out a mournful cry. At this moment, Chu Jiang Tian had already been knocked to the ground.
Zhang Yuru and Fang Tianlong had a very close relationship; since childhood, Fang Tianlong had taken care of Zhang Yuru like an older brother. Especially during the time when Zhang Yuru's mother passed away, Fang Tianlong would think of ways to cheer Zhang Yuru up every day, helping him through that painful period.
So when Zhang Yuru saw Fang Tianlong severely injured by Chu Jiang Tian yesterday, he felt the need to avenge him. Today was a good opportunity; seeing Chu Jiang Tian charging forward on his Mount, Zhang Yuru immediately instructed Xuanrou to give the Two-Headed Python a memorable farewell.
As one of the snake heads of the Two-Headed Python approached, Xuanrou swung her front claws and struck at its neck, severing one of its heads.
Meanwhile, Chu Jiang Tian was desperately trying to calm the Two-Headed Python. This creature had not willingly entered into a contract with Chu Jiang Tian; it had been subdued after a day of intense battle with Chu Hanlu and his Mount. It was only after various means were employed that it reluctantly signed the contract with Chu Jiang Tian. Now, having one of its heads inexplicably cut off, it was furious. Despite Chu Jiang Tian's continuous persuasion, the Two-Headed Python would not listen.
With a lash of its tail, it sent Chu Jiang Tian flying aside and turned to charge at Zhang Yuru, opening its massive jaws to bite him. The Two-Headed Python was now in a frenzied state. Just then, Xuanrou unleashed a water column from her mouth to block the Two-Headed Python's advance. Taking advantage of the momentary pause, Xuanrou quickly moved in front of the Two-Headed Python and swung her front claws again, severing its other head.
Although both heads of the python were cut off, its body continued to move. The severed head still attempted to bite Xuanrou but was blasted away by her Water Arrow into the depths of the Arena.
Seeing his hard-earned Mount die before him, Chu Jiang Tian let out a cry and fainted on the Arena floor.
Chu Hanlu saw his son collapse and immediately leaped onto the Arena. This was already the second time he had faced Zhang Yuru and ended up lying on the Arena floor.
Chu Hanlu felt both heartache for his son and hatred for Zhang Yuru's ruthlessness while also puzzling over what had happened to Zhang Yuru in recent days. Why had he suddenly become so powerful? Usually, when the children of several Leaders competed together, Zhang Yuru was known for slacking off and never participating in contests. Among them, he had the lowest martial skills, so when Zhang Diba proposed a competition, he was the first to agree.
Now it seemed like Zhang Diba had set a trap for him. With everyone's efforts to revive him, Chu Jiang Tian finally groaned awake, exclaiming how much it hurt. He truly felt unfortunate; after working hard with his father to capture a Seventh Tier peak Mount, it had only taken less than two days for it to be killed.
Not only had his Mount died, but he could no longer contract another Mount in the future; he would have to live alongside his Fourth Rank water buffalo for life.
Once he regained consciousness, Chu Jiang Tian pointed at Zhang Yuru and said, "You killed my Mount."
Zhang Yuru stood nearby and replied, "It came at me wanting to kill me; should I have just let myself be killed? And how did you treat Fang Tianlong yesterday? This is all your own doing."
"I will avenge my Mount," Chu Jiang Tian declared as he prepared to rise and fight.
Seeing this, Chu Hanlu immediately slapped Chu Jiang Tian and sternly said, "Beast! Do you want to rebel?"
Chu Hanlu understood clearly that with the death of the Two-Headed Python, Zhang Yuru had secured final victory in the competition. By right, she could now inherit the position of Big Leader. If his son attempted to strike now, it would be an attack on the Leader himself. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, just being accused of rebellion would be enough for their family to face dire consequences.
Chu Jiang Tian covered his face as he looked at his father and lamented, "Father, my Mount is gone. That one..." He pointed in Zhang Yuru's direction.
Chu Hanlu was afraid that Chu Jiang Tian would say something inappropriate, so he immediately pressed down on Chu Jiang Tian's hand and turned to Zhang Diba, who was lying on the ground, saying, "This kid just lost Mount and forgot that Big Leader can forgive Son's reckless mistake." He then turned to Zhang Yuru: "Please have mercy, Miss."
At this moment, Zhang Yuru was in a very good mood. Not only had she suppressed Chu Jiang Tian's arrogance, but she had also successfully killed his Mount, avenging Fang Tianlong.
Seeing Chu Hanlu's expression, Zhang Yuru smiled and said to him, "What are you talking about, Leader Chu? The match earlier was also my oversight; I share some responsibility. I will not blame Young Master Chu."
"Thank you for your generosity, Big Leader, and Miss. I will take Son back to recover now. From now on, our Chu Family will fully support you, Miss." After saying this, Chu Hanlu carried Chu Jiang Tian away from the Arena.
Thus ended a farce. Ma Xianglong stepped into the center of the Arena: "Leaders, after three and a half days of competition, the final winner is our Miss Zhang Yuru." The audience erupted in warm applause. A contest filled with hidden struggles concluded, and the Chu Family Father and Son, having lost a peak Seventh Tier beast, ended up with nothing.
Three days later, Zhang Diba passed his position as Big Leader to Zhang Yuru, who also gained the support of all the branch Leaders, including the Chu Family Father and Son.
Another week passed, and Zhang Yuru had fully adapted to her role as Big Leader. Everything in the new world was back on track. According to Liu Guanfeng's plan, it was time for Zhang Diba to depart. Thus, in front of everyone, Zhang Diba took his "last breath."
With everyone's help, Zhang Diba was laid to rest. In her sorrow, Zhang Yuru continued the operation of the new world. Although she was hated by the Chu Family Father and Son, they did not dare to act too recklessly on the surface. Therefore, the new world remained relatively stable.
On the night of the burial, Liu Guanfeng quietly arrived at Zhang Diba's grave. He unearthed the resting Zhang Diba, bringing him to the seaside where he summoned out Xuan Nian from the sea.
Liu Guanfeng said to Zhang Diba: "Big Leader, just follow this turtle; it will take you to a place where you will receive training."
Zhang Diba nodded: "Xuan Nian, take the Big Leader to your lair; leave his training to your elder brother. Tell him he must train this person seriously until he breaks through. It would be best to find a suitable companion from your siblings as a new Mount."
Xuan Nian nodded: "Rest assured, Little Master Uncle; we will take good care of him."
"You must remember that my time is limited, so you need to hurry."
"Understood, Shishu; we will help him break through as soon as possible."
After saying this, Xuan Nian carried Zhang Diba and swam towards the deep sea. Watching them disappear into the distance, Liu Guanfeng returned with Little Black to his courtyard room. Ever since Zhang Yuru became the Big Leader, xp had been arranged to stay by her side for safety, with two Ninth Tier beasts ensuring her security. It could be said that currently, among the three Big Leaders, Zhang Yuru was the safest one.
After a series of events, life finally settled into a relatively peaceful routine. For a week, Liu Guanfeng enjoyed this lifestyle; when there was nothing to do, he would check on his three blacksmith apprentices; when there was something urgent, he would visit Zhang Yuru. Life was quite pleasant.
One morning, Liu Guanfeng was called to the assembly hall where all senior personnel except for four branch leaders were present. Seeing this made him frown; could there be some significant matter today?
Since helping extend Zhang Diba's life by over a month and assisting Zhang Yuru in obtaining her position as Big Leader, Liu Guanfeng had automatically become a senior figure in the new world. The only difference from other seniors was that he held no power in any matters; however, he did not mind this at all.
At this moment, sitting in the position of Big Leader, Zhang Yuru cleared her throat after everyone had gathered: "This morning I received some news; let’s have our intelligence officer, Li Fei, explain it."
At this moment, a man sitting not far from Zhang Yuru stood up. He was about thirty years old, around 1.7 meters tall, and could be described as unremarkable, easily overlooked in the crowd. It was precisely such individuals who were most suited for intelligence work.
The man glanced at the people around him and said, "According to my sources from Capital City, Severe Winter seems to have discovered an ancient relic. They are currently sending people to excavate the treasure. Everyone here knows that our continent separated from the Knight Continent, and during that separation, there were many mages on our land. The treasures they left behind are still on our continent and the surrounding islands. Moreover, the mages of the past were highly respected, and their wealth was immeasurable.
If Severe Winter manages to get their hands on these treasures, it would be a terrifying situation for us. With this wealth, they could wage even greater wars and conduct more thorough investigations against us. In that case, it would be very difficult for us to continue surviving here." After finishing his statement, the man returned to his seat.
"I gathered everyone here today to brainstorm ways to stop Severe Winter's plans and disrupt their treasure hunting expedition," Zhang Yuru stated the purpose of the meeting, prompting an immediate surge of intense discussion among those present.
"Big Leader, do we know who is in charge of this treasure hunt for Severe Winter?" a person who appeared to be in charge raised a question.
Li Fei added, "According to the information we received, the leader of this expedition is Bai Yu from Severe Winter's Black and White Generals."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. Liu Guanfeng had just arrived at these two continents and was unfamiliar with Severe Winter's subordinates; however, he could sense that someone from the Black and White Generals must be a formidable character. Liu Guanfeng nudged the person next to him and asked, "Who exactly is this Bai Yu?"
Seeing it was Liu Guanfeng, the person's initial surprise turned into a smile. "Liu Brother, you don't even know Bai Yu? On our Luo Heng Island, everyone knows there are four Divine-Level Experts in total. Besides our Old Leader, the other three are all from Severe Winter. Apart from Severe Winter's Divine-Level Expert, the other two subordinates are known as Black and White Generals. The Black General is called Black Face and prefers to wear all black clothing, while the White General is Bai Yu, who dresses entirely in white. Due to their surnames, people refer to them as the Black and White Generals. Both of them have only recently advanced but are considered quasi-Divine Knights since both of their mounts are at the peak of Seventh Tier."
Liu Guanfeng nodded in realization; no wonder everyone gasped in shock—it turned out he was dealing with a quasi-Divine Knight. Having a quasi-Divine Knight lead an expedition clearly showed how much Severe Winter valued this matter.
"Now let's think about who can lead a team to sabotage their operation. We don't need to seize any treasures; we just need to prevent that old thief from Severe Winter from obtaining them," Zhang Yuru calmly looked at the senior members below. Everyone silently lowered their heads; confronting a quasi-Divine Knight was not something one could achieve merely with courage.
At that moment, a voice came from a small corner: "I want to give it a try." This voice rippled through the room like a stone thrown into calm water, drawing everyone's attention to the speaker.
