Chapter 90: Su Changqing: Beast, What a Find!
Chapter 90: Su Changqing: Beast, What a Find!
With a heart full of rage, Little Peng King unfurled his wings, soaring like a golden bolt of lightning above the platform.
His golden eyes swept across the scene, finally settling on the direction where the top prodigies stood.
"Chirp!"
With a loud, piercing cry, Little Peng King whipped up a fierce wind and charged straight at the many top prodigies.
"What is that thing? What a mighty golden eagle!"
"Open your eyes and look again, that's a Peng, a Great Peng Bird!"
"It's nearly a hundred feet tall. This Great Peng Bird must be close to becoming a spirit!"
The Beast Race had vanished from the human world for hundreds of years.
Most of the young cultivators had only read sparse descriptions of beasts in various texts.
Thus, when they saw the golden-winged Great Peng, they didn't even consider it might be a beast, thinking it was some exotic creature tamed by the Small Immortal Sect.
But some of the more knowledgeable prodigies suddenly changed their expressions.
"It's a beast!"
A top prodigy shouted angrily, "It's from the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan!"
Upon hearing this, although some people still looked confused, many more instantly turned pale, their eyes flashing with cold light.
They might not have recognized it as a beast, but their elders had often mentioned the great battles of the past.
The Beast Race and the Human Race had never been friends!
"Hmph!"
Seeing the hostile gazes, Little Peng King sneered disdainfully and swiftly flew over the heads of the many top prodigies with a flap of his wings.
This scene left everyone with icy expressions.
Daring to fly over their heads?
"Get down!"
A top prodigy roared, raising his hand to unleash a blade of light several dozen feet long, slicing directly at Little Peng King.
He wasn't the only one to act. This area was filled with top prodigies, and none would tolerate Little Peng King's audacity.
One by one, they shouted in anger, their fierce auras spreading across the sky, rushing toward Little Peng King.
"Stop."
At this moment, an elder from the Small Immortal Sect appeared, waving his hand to dispel the attacks.
His expression was also grim, but he couldn't say much more because this was a deal.
"To dare attack me."
Little Peng King transformed into his human form, his sharp golden eyes fixed on the first person who attacked.
"If you were at my level, I'd kill you in three moves!"
Little Peng King was waiting for the Heavenly Beast Pool to open, currently at the peak of the First Realm because he was in the Foundation Building stage of his divine body. Entering the Heavenly Beast Pool would help him improve his potential.
Even so, he still looked at the Third Realm prodigy with disdain.
"Arrogant!"
The prodigy laughed in rage, about to attack again, but was stopped by the elder.
"I'm at the First Realm. Let's see how you defeat me!"
All top prodigies were proud and ambitious.
Seeing a beast show off in front of humans, a First Realm prodigy immediately shouted, his sharp sword slicing out.
"Stop!"
The Small Immortal Sect elder's face changed, and he hurriedly tried to stop the attack, but it was too late.
Little Peng King stomped his foot, and his figure moved like a golden lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of the prodigy.
"Slash!"
The sword flashed with a sharp light, but it didn't even touch Little Peng King.
Golden light shone as Little Peng King's powerful punch struck the prodigy's chest and abdomen.
"Spit!"
A mouthful of blood spewed out, and the prodigy was sent flying backward.
"Rubbish."
Little Peng King retracted his fist disdainfully, his sharp, arrogant eyes sweeping across the crowd.
"Any divine body realm cultivators can come at me together."
His father had paid a great price to secure this testing qualification for him.
If he didn't vent his anger, he wouldn't be Little Peng King!
Everyone present was shocked. The one who had just stepped up was a top prodigy.
He couldn't even block a single punch and was sent flying?
Little Peng King was strong, but the human race was never short of courage, especially among the young generation of prodigies.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations, following the provided guidelines:
Seeing their kin being attacked, the crowd erupted in fury, and every cultivator at the Qi Gathering Stage stepped forward.
"Everyone, stand down! Prepare for the third test of the aptitude examination!"
The elder of the Eternal Youth Sect, his face dark, quelled the turmoil among the young prodigies.
He was well aware that even if a fight broke out, the humans would be the ones to fall.
At the Transcendent Physique Realm, the demonic races had a natural physical advantage, especially when it came to the Heavenly Peng bloodline.
...
"This world actually has demons?"
Su Changqing's eyes lit up as he looked at Little Peng Sovereign with a keen interest.
"Of course, the demons in this world are quite formidable."
Xuan Qingzi gazed into the distant horizon.
A demon had infiltrated the Eternal Youth Sect's entrance examination, and the elder showed no reaction.
This suggested that the terrifying Energy Turbulence from earlier were likely the result of a confrontation between the Eternal Youth Sect and the demonic race, and some kind of agreement had been reached.
"Is it the Ancient Stone Inscriptions?"
Xuan Qingzi frowned as he looked at Little Peng Sovereign.
"Master, if this demon can take human form, does it still count as a beast?"
Su Changqing asked curiously.
He was highly intrigued by species other than humans.
However, Su Changqing didn't notice that as he spoke, Little Peng Sovereign's eyes grew colder.
Despite Su Changqing's deliberate attempt to lower his voice, he couldn't use telepathy, and his words were still heard.
"Beast?"
Little Peng Sovereign gave Su Changqing a cold glance but, seeing his ordinary attire and weak aura, merely snorted and ignored him.
Xuan Qingzi, not too concerned, explained, "Before a demon awakens its intellect, calling it a beast isn't wrong."
"But once it awakens its intellect, it is considered a demon. Some special beings, upon gaining intelligence, are called 'pirits.'"
"The demonic race is vast and diverse. I've only heard my teacher speak of it briefly, so my knowledge is incomplete."
Su Changqing nodded thoughtfully, then asked the question he most wanted to know:
"Can these demons, once they have awakened their intellect, still be eaten?"
Su Changqing grew up in the mountains, and his only joy was hunting.
While others had considered whether they could tame the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Su Changqing was thinking about whether it could be eaten.
This was a reflection of his upbringing, where every time they had a feast, it was because they had hunted something.
The sight of the ten-story-tall, golden Great Peng had left a significant impression on Su Changqing.
How long would it take to eat one of those?
"Eat?"
Xuan Qingzi was taken aback, a bit confused by Su Changqing's line of thought.
Before he could respond, a voice filled with murderous intent rang out from nearby.
"Looking for death!"
Golden light flashed beneath Little Peng Sovereign's feet, and he moved with astonishing speed.
His massive golden wings enveloped him, and in an instant, he was in front of Su Changqing.
"Dare to discuss whether demons can be eaten in my presence?"
"I'll swallow you first!"
Little Peng Sovereign's mouth opened, and a torrent of blood energy formed a vortex, creating a terrifying suction.
Su Changqing's brow furrowed, and a light flashed beneath his feet, causing him to instinctively take a step back.
But at that moment, Xuan Qingzi swept his sleeve and stepped in front of Su Changqing.
He formed a seal with his fingers, and golden light surged around him, even his hair and eyebrows shimmering with a golden glow.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed as Xuan Qingzi, enveloped in golden light, stood firm against the terrifying suction.
"Demons can be eaten."
Xuan Qingzi stood with his seal raised, giving Little Peng Sovereign a faint glance before turning to Su Changqing with a light smile.
"And they are highly nutritious."
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing's eyes lit up as he looked at Little Peng Sovereign.
Demons, such good things!
