Beast Taming Patrol

Nan Yue Ran summoned one of his own pets at the first opportunity, using its emperor-tier might to counter the opponent's show of power, but it was merely a display of force. The Nightmare Sea Dragon made Nan Yue Ran's pet show a pained expression.

All the epic Beast Tamers present instinctively made a similar move to Nan Yue Ran, calling forth their strongest emperor-tier pets.

However, the feedback from their own pets caused them all to change their expressions.

Despite being of the emperor-tier, the opponent managed to suppress all of their pets with its might alone.

And such a pet was the opponent for the emperor-tier betting duel.

Doesn't this mean that the duel was lost before it even began?

Normal energy value: ????

Looking at the energy meter showing question marks, Lin Su sighed in his heart.

It seems his energy meter needed upgrading.

The normal energy value of an emperor-tier·emperor race ranged between fifty million and one hundred million.

But that's only under normal circumstances; the top-most beings would certainly exceed a hundred million.

And Lin Su's energy meter capped at one hundred million; anything beyond that would display question marks.

He looked around, then shook his head.

There was no need to measure the normal energy values anymore.

Just from the reactions of the emperor-tier pets present, it was clear that the Nightmare Sea Dragon in front of them was truly terrifying.

The display of might did not last too long. The Nightmare Sea Dragon, looking at the people staring at it with ugly expressions, chuckled, "It is normal that your pets are no match for me... After all, I am the strongest existence among the emperor-tier of the Water Kingdom."

"On the day of the duel, we'll see the truth under our hands." Adams snorted coldly, his face somewhat gloomy, wishing he could just pair up with his beast and slaughter this arrogant creature.

"No problem." The Nightmare Sea Dragon glanced at Adams, "When does the betting duel start? Just to be clear, if you humans are thinking of delaying by exploring the secret realm first, that's not going to happen."

"From this moment on, you must move the entrance to the secret realm back to its original place and submit to our supervision. Neither side can enter the secret realm again before the end of the betting duel."

"Don't think we marine beasts are unaware of the secret realms." The Nightmare Sea Dragon looked meaningfully at the crowd, "After all, if land can have secret realm entrances, so too can the ocean."

The crowd was stirred.

Did the Nightmare Sea Dragon's words imply that secret realms also appeared in the ocean, with the Water Kingdom having taken at least one?

"No problem." Adams nodded slightly.

The other side raising this point was within their expectations, after all, creatures were not fools; they would not allow humans to delay time unchallenged.

But Adams's heart stirred at the words the Nightmare Sea Dragon had just said.

"I think that the conditions you proposed for the duel are somewhat unfair, and need an additional clause," he said calmly.

"Oh?" The Nightmare Sea Dragon's cold eyes narrowed, "Let's hear it."

"You only stipulated that if the Water Kingdom wins all three rounds, they can take the secret realm, but you didn't specify what would happen if the Holy Alliance won all three." Adams spoke calmly, "I think it's necessary to add that."

"The Holy Alliance wins all three rounds?" The Nightmare Sea Dragon first showed evident surprise, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Are you telling a joke?"

With the Water Kingdom's line-up, it would be tough for humans to even win one round!

Winning all three? Dream on!

Seeing the Nightmare Sea Dragon so arrogantly laughing, anger appeared involuntarily on everyone's faces.

There was also increased dissatisfaction in Adams's eyes, although his voice remained quite calm, "Since you are so confident in your strength, then adding it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Fine, then you tell me, if the Holy Alliance wins all three rounds, what do you want?" The Nightmare Sea Dragon spoke disdainfully.

"Since the Water Kingdom has a secret realm, then if the Holy Alliance wins all three rounds, the Water Kingdom will need to give us one of their secret realms," Adams said with a slight smile.

Although a victory was not certain, the pre-duel conditions had to be fair.

"Tsk." Hearing this, the Nightmare Sea Dragon calmed down a bit, "Two out of three rounds. If your side wins, you can fully control the secret realm, but if we win, we can only share it with you."

"That's equally unfair."

"The additional conditions we put forth were merely to make this unfair betting condition fair, but now your proposal has made it unfair again."

"Lord Nightmare Sea Dragon, you've made a mistake." Adams spoke with neither servility nor overbearingness, "This secret realm is in the Holy Alliance's territory; it should rightfully belong to the Holy Alliance."

A flicker of irritation crossed the Nightmare Sea Dragon's eyes.

It was not a creature inclined towards reasoning in the first place; it usually preferred to resolve things through power.

Had it not been for Wang San's strict orders to reason with humans and not to act rashly, it would have exploded already.

Such a nuisance, why not just seize the secret realm directly.

"Alright, I agree," the Nightmare Sea Dragon said impatiently.

After all, there was no way they could lose.

The Water Kingdom currently had two secret realms; the better one was taken directly from another immortal by the king, while the slightly lesser one was awarded to it in recognition of its notable battle merits.

Even if, by a one in ten thousand chance, they lost all three matches, and it lost face for the Water Kingdom as an emperor-tier participant, it would be appropriate to forfeit its secret realm as an apology.

Of course, such a possibility surely did not exist.
