Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 644

The Deepstar Battle was close to the end, and there were only two or three thousand people left in the battlefield. Almost everyone had been eliminated after close to a month of fighting, and they soon turned into the others points.

But those that remained were elites. They were either Heaven Branch disciples, or Earth Branch disciples standing at the top of the pyramid. Fang Xingque was ranked first, with one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three points, Xuanyuan Muxue was second, with one thousand five hundred and eighty points, and Jian Lingchen was third, with eight hundred and thirty-one points.

Those in the top hundred were all Heaven Branch disciples, and every single one had defeated at least dozens of others. Those in the top three were from their three respective clans. Among them, Fang Xingque had a team of hundreds, along with nine Heaven Branch disciples, that forcefully put him first.

Many people felt that cheating like that was shameful, but there was nothing they could do about it. Jiang Lingchen wasnt old, and he might not necessarily be stronger than other Heaven Branch disciples. But there was a reason he could stand in the top three. That was because he had four sisters supporting him and forcefully bringing him up in the rankings.

Although he was also using external help, he wasnt as unrestrained as Fang Xingque. Perhaps due to how Jian Xueyi treated him, and the fact that he cultivated the Hexapath Samsara Sword, Tianming didnt really mind the disciples from the Draconis House of Jian. In addition to Jiang Lingchengs innocent smile, it was easy for others to gain a favorable impression of her.

Brother Tianming, my father secretly told me that you were brought back by Her Eminence. Is that right? Jian Lingchen came up with a wink.

Thats right. Tianming nodded. It wasnt a secret, so there was nothing Tianming had to hide about it.

Wow, even the eminent appreciates you. My respect for you is like endless spring water, Jian Lingchen said enviously.

Do many people know about it? Tianming asked.

Not many. My dad told me to keep my mouth shut, so I only told my four godsisters about it. Jian Lingchen winked at the four girls.

Your godsisters are all so beautiful, Tianming smiled.

Hey, hey, hey, keep your impure thoughts to yourself. The four of them are my future wives, said Jian Lingchen.

What the hell? Tianming widened his eyes and asked, Are you serious?

Well, I cant help it since Im so handsome. Theres many girls wooing me, and theyre all great beauties. So I dont have a choice but to accept them all. At least Ill be covered in the rain and dew. Jian Lingchen coughed.

The world isnt fair.

Calm down, calm down. Ordinary people like you have to keep yourself composed. After all, jealousy will make you uglier, and you wont be able to attract any beauties, Jian Lingchen smiled.

Why are you guys acting so sneakily? the mature one among the four women asked.

No. Big Sister Nichang, were praising you guys beauty! Jian Lingchen smiled while shrinking his neck. After that, he turned around and whispered to Tianming, You have to be nice to women. Praise them more and the family will become harmonious.

Alright, thats enough. I dont need you to teach me how to strike up a conversation with girls, said Tianming.

I heard what you did to Fang Chenyu, not to mention that you have a conflict with Fang Xingque. It just so happens that I want to get that idiot off the ranking. So Im thinking of joining hands with you. We have five Heaven Branch disciples here, wouldnt it be better for us to work together? Jian Lingchen said straightforwardly.

You have the guts to face Fang Xingque? Tianming asked.

Why not? Dont listen to him boast about himself, sounding off like the Archaion Sect belongs to him. Who doesnt have a capable father nowadays? Our parents all have some status, so which of them will lower their seniority to interfere in the younger generations affairs? Hes shameless enough to use hundreds of people to rise in the rankings, and Im not on his side. So why cant I compete fairly? Jian Lingchen said.

That sounds about right. After all, you have the Draconis House of Jian and Human Branchs sect master supporting you. Conflicts between the younger generation are trivial matters, said Tianming.

So what do you think? Us joining hands to deal with Fang Xingque in the last three days. Since you were able to defeat Fang Chenyu, you must be approaching the strength of a Heaven Branch disciple, said Jian Lingchen.

Sure, but I wont be working for you. I wont hesitate if theres an opportunity to activate his Astral Formation, Tianming said straightforwardly.

Thats simple. If hes defeated and the points go to you, then wouldnt it be resolved if I beat you up? Haha, I have four godsisters here. Jian Lingchen smiled.

Then Ill also deal with you if you obtain his points, said Tianming.

Sure, as long as you have the capability to do so. I look down on people like Fang Xingque the most, acting so arrogant like hes everything. The Deepstar Battle is ruined by that piece of garbage! Jian Lingchen said with disdain.

Youre saying that when the rankings are revealed on the last day, those going after Fang Xingque might be intimidated by his group and give up? So youre saying that you need someone to take the lead? Tianming asked.

Thats right. Ill take the lead at that time, but I need someone to join me, said Jian Lingchen.

Youre pretty bold. Why not go after Xuanyuan Muxue? Tianming asked.

I never hit women. Women are gifts of art created by gods. So how can you beat them? Jian Lingchen said.

What if she beats you up?

Well, I guess its the arrangement of fate to have intimate contact with her fist, said Jian Lingchen.

And what if someone tries to crush your balls? Tianming asked with a smile.

No way, they have to be beaten up.... Jian Lingchen immediately had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Haha.... Tianming found this fellow interesting, and he didnt mind working together with him. After all, there were so many people on Fang Xingques side, and he really needed an ally to touch him.

Brother, do you mind me asking you something? Logically speaking, Fang Xingque should know about your identity. So why is he still acting so arrogant toward you? Jian Lingchen asked curiously.

Im guessing that he still doesnt know about it. Tianming smiled.

Probably. After all, the seniors are all unwilling to talk about anything with regards to the eminent, said Jian Lingchen.

I dont think hed lower his head even if he knew it, said Tianming. His identity wasnt stable enough, so he could only be considered a special existence at best.

Thats right. This guy is used to being an overlord.

......

There were two days left until the final battle, and Tianming planned to stay here together with Jian Lingchen. With that, Tianming slowly got to know Jian Lingchen and his four godsisters.

The intelligent and charming one was Jian Nichang, the short-haired, irritable one was Jian Liuyang, the gentle, quiet one was Jian Wenjing, and the sweet and lovely one was Jian Yini. They were all core disciples of the Draconis House of Jian, and their ancestors were linked with Jian Lingchens ancestors.

Along the way, Tianming followed behind while he pondered over Heavenly Will. Lingchen, hes been cultivating along the way, and hes slowing down our pace. Why do you have to bring him along?

Why dont you get rid of him? After all, hes still not comparable to a Heaven Branch disciple. I dont doubt his future achievements, but hes still an empyrean saint in the Deepstar Battlefield. Hell be a burden following us, and the gap between you and the top two will only increase.Jian Liuyang turned to look at Tianming unhappily.

Its alright. Why do you guys still care about catching up to them now? Theres no way we can catch up to them right now. Lets wait for the last three days, said Jian Lingchen.

He has a huge conflict with Fang Xingque, and I feel that we can watch the show from the side. This persons identity is too sensitive, and he killed two of Fang Chenyus lifebound beasts. The Sterling House of Fang will definitely target him. So why are you interfering? Jian Liuyang said.

Most importantly, he might not be able to do anything with his strength. Its not worth getting involved in the conflict just for a friendship, said Jian Weijing.

Do all of you share the same thoughts? Jian Lingchen asked.

I feel the same too! Jian Yini said.

You guys are afraid of Fang Xingque? Jian Lingchen asked unhappily.

Its not that were afraid, but we dont want to create any other conflicts other than fair competition. Otherwise, when the Deepstar Battle comes to an end, theyll keep coming at us, and itll be vexing. Theres nothing special about Li Tianmings capability, and he has an aggressive temper. Its easy for you to get caught up in a mess to make friends with such a person. I believe that your father and uncle wouldnt recommend you do that, said Jian Nichang.

That doesnt matter. I find him pretty pleasing to the eye. Just let me have it my way this time, alright? Jian Lingchen said coquettishly.

Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy. But we wont agree to it if he wants to drag you down.

I heard that his improvement is quick, but seriously speaking, theres a difference between the Empyrean Saint and Samsara stages. Its still unknown if he’s an absolute genius before he reaches the Samsara stage.

Im afraid that hes being targeted by Fang Xingque in the Deepstar Battlefield and will be crippled by him. After all, this fellow started it, so he cant blame others for doing the same to him.

Lets not think about that for now. We just need things to be chaotic and find an opportunity to help Lingchen get Fang Xingques points.

The Deepstar Pools spot is very important, and we have to do our best!

Lets take the risk once for Lingchen.

Jian Lingchen was touched by their words and hugged the four girls. He only lamented the fact that he only had two hands and couldnt have enough fun.

......

Tsk, tsk, Ying Huo smiled.

Whatre you laughing about? Tianming asked.

Look ahead.

Tianming raised his head and saw Jian Lingchen hugging a girl in each arm.

Holy shit. Am I here to be a third wheel? Tianming smiled bitterly.

Come and curse his kidneys with me! Ying Huo said with a dark face.
