Chapter 456 The Beast Valley

Once the first stage was completed, only four disciples of King Level could enter the second stage to fight. Hence, it was a tough competition for two hundred disciples of King Level.

In other words, the strength contest was far more competitive than the weapon refining contest.

Right now, all the participants for the strength contest had gathered outside the Beast Valley. They were all set to enter the valley, to participate in the first stage.

Katrina, Marvin and other high-level officials of the Shura College were waiting outside the Beast Valley, awaiting the result of the first stage. Similar to what they had done in the first stage of the weapon refining contest.

Although both the contests appeared to look same, there were huge differences between them.

During the weapon refining contest, the candidates could interrupt others, without adopting any kind of foul methods. On the other hand, the strength contest was a competition that invited the devil itself. It was a perfect opportunity to take revenge on the offending ones.

Anthony and Zachary were excellent examples.

"Are you ready?" Anthony asked his followers, standing beside him.

"Yes, we are awaiting your signal. Once they set out, we will separately track them. But can't we just kill Harley? Why do we have to catch Polly instead?" the confidant asked in confusion.

"By any chance if we fail to defeat Harley, he would become even more alert. After that, it would be difficult to get any opportunity to take him down. Hence, we have to be absolutely sure to break him down. Another matter that we must keep in mind is that, he is very close to Polly and her brother, Pollard. Hence, if anything happens to either of them, he is not the one to merely sit by and watch," said Anthony.

"Young master, you are absolutely right!" the confidant said, as he tried to impress Anthony.

The first stage of the strength contest was officially declared. A horde of two hundred King Level disciples quickly rushed towards the Beast Valley and spread across. Some were on the lookout for the most advantageous terrains, to make it easier for them to attack as well as defend. While others who were confident about their physical strength, decided to hunt and launch direct attack.

As per his strength, Zachary could have chosen the latter option. But that would lead to his exposure. Hence, he went about choosing a suitable terrain.

However, before Zachary could chose a spot, he realized that he was being followed by

stage?" Polly shouted. Even though she was talented, she lacked the skill to strategize and the experience to overcome such situations. And there was also her rage, which led her to this situation. Now she was sure that this trap was specifically set for her.

"Conniving rat? No, that's not the case. You are trapped in this situation, only because you're too naive! First rule of any game is to beat all the opponents, in order to secure the winning place. Being kind and merciful will only lead to your defeat!" the other disciple in a green robe retorted before he burst into laughter.

"You can keep your trap shut! I can always beat the entire lot of you!" Polly angrily countered. She would never quit a battlefield like a coward. She immediately took out a therapeutic pill and swallowed. After a moment of rest, she posed to fight.

"You think you alone can defeat all of us?! Your meridians are injured and your strength has been weakened considerably! At the most, you can exert the strength of Heaven Level. Anyone of us can easily defeat you," the man in green sneered with a disdainful look. He then beckoned the other two male warriors standing next to him, to deal with Polly.

The two men immediately started to approach her, intending to attack her from both the sides.

Meanwhile, there was no way Polly was going to give in so easily. She immediately summoned her treasure beast to fight. Her plan was to stall them for a while, till her martial was restored back.

The two men were not of mediocre level either. They immediately lashed out their martial energies. The next moment, their overwhelming power enveloped Polly and her treasure beast.
