Chapter 658 Beast Fighting: Tigers And Wolves!
If the high-level executives of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion were here, they would definitely not recognize that this effeminate man is their immediate superior, Yun Tianhe.
It is not uncommon for professionals to change their appearance by various means, and many professionals are proficient in this art for various reasons.
Not only can certain tools be used for facial modifications.
Various bizarre skills, even ancient makeup techniques, can allow a person to have completely different faces.
Yun Tianhe usually appears in front of everyone at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with an image leaning towards a traditional middle-aged male.
His character is calm and extremely dignified.
If acquaintances were to know that Yun Tianhe actually has such an effeminate side, they would probably gouge their eyes out in disbelief.
However, no matter how well Yun Tianhe hides his true self, there are no secrets on the desks of the Intelligence Department of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
The truth he painstakingly conceals is not even worth a second glance from the officials of the Intelligence Department.
"Sir, who do you think will be the victor today?"
Yun Tianhe turned around, smiling as he looked at the burly man sitting behind him.
His expression was lazy, his robes fluttering, his magnetic neutral voice carrying a hint of charm.
If he were in women's clothing, he could easily captivate many otaku.
"I do not know." The burly man replied impatiently with a stern face.
"Hehe." Yun Tianhe chuckled lightly and continued to focus on the battle in the arena.
After one battle ended, there was a brief rest before another duel began.
However, the previous one was a competition between people, while this one was a contest between beasts.
A giant tiger, two stories tall, covered in purple and gold stripes, exuding a mysterious, beautiful, and domineering aura.
The tiger's opponent was hundreds of black giant wolves with cruel eyes and drooling mouths.
In the sky above the arena, the host's hologram appeared.
"Hello, dear audience friends."
"Next up is the most anticipated beast battle!"
"On one side, we have the ruler of the Cold Mountain Secret Realm, the Rank Five Bronze BOSS, Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger."
"On the other side, we have three hundred and thirty-eight Rank Four elites, black hungry wolves."
"What a joke! Can a group of Rank Four elites defeat a Rank Five Bronze BOSS? If they can't, then don't bother!" Some audience members in the stands immediately began to protest.
"That's right! What a waste of time! Get out of here and don't waste our ticket money!"
"Get out! Get out!"
"..."
After the brief introduction by the host, everyone knew the strengths of both sides, so there was no expectation for the upcoming beast battle.
What they wanted to see was a fierce battle between evenly matched opponents, not a one-sided slaughter.
While the number of black hungry wolves was large, their strength was too weak.
It's worth noting that the difference between Rank Four and Rank Five is significant, with a huge gap in strength between intermediate and high levels.
Moreover, one side was a Bronze BOSS, while the other side consisted only of elites.
Even if there were over three hundred, or even three thousand, or thirty thousand, it would have no effect.
The two sides were simply not on the same level.
One skill from the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger could wipe out a large group.
"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me." The host said, "You are all regulars at the Peak Arena, so you must know that we won't present any boring shows to appease everyone."
"That's right, get on with it. What's the catch?" Some regulars of the Peak Arena quickly quieted down.
The reputation of this arena was quite good, and the programs were usually exciting, attracting a considerable number of loyal viewers.
"Thank you all for your support. Since everyone is eager, I won't waste your time and will directly explain the rules." The host said loudly.
"Considering the difference in strength between the two sides, we have imposed significant restrictions on the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger."
"First, we have removed the single horn on top of the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger's head. This is the source of its thunder power and its strongest pillar of strength!"
"Second, this Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger is already old and in serious decline, with its attributes reduced by about thirty percent from its peak."
"Third, we have deprived the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger of its sight, and it can only rely on hearing, touch, and instinct to search and counterattack."
"Fourth, among the black hungry wolves, there are a total of twelve Rank Five BOSSes."
"Alright! As for the upcoming battle, whether it will be exciting or not, I believe you already have the answer in your hearts."
"Whether the lingering might of the tiger will prevail, or the cunning and ruthless wolves will have the upper hand, shout out the victor in your hearts!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the betting machines in the stands began to flash.
Some spectators cheered as they placed their bets.
The battle between the aging hero, the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger, and the treacherous pack of wolves was indeed intriguing.
"Sir, who do you think will win this round?" Yun Tianhe's lips curled up into a smile as he leaned on the windowsill, not even turning his head to ask.
"Did you bring me here just to watch these boring things?" The Purple Flame Sovereign said in a deep voice. "If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving!"
With that, the Purple Flame Sovereign stood up, ready to leave.
"Sir, it's better for you to sit down and watch it carefully."
"Otherwise..."
Yun Tianhe's voice was calm but filled with a threatening confidence.
The Purple Flame Sovereign's expression changed several times, but in the end, he sat back down with a frown.
In the arena, the battle between the tiger and the wolves began.
Initially, the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger's formidable aura was enough to intimidate the wolves and keep them at bay.
But after a while, the Rank Five boss wolf king couldn't hold back and drove the elite black wolves to attack.
One by one, the elite black wolves were driven to charge at the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger, but they were easily dealt with.
After dozens of black wolves were killed or injured, finally, one black wolf left a scar on the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger.
Although it was just some inconspicuous shallow claw marks, there was no doubt that the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger was injured.
The wolf kings sensed this information and immediately howled excitedly, leading the pack of wolves to swarm forward.
With the loss of its main support, the aging body, and the blindness, the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger found it difficult to fend off such a dense attack.
After killing over a hundred black wolves, it finally collapsed.
The remaining black wolves swarmed in and almost instantly devoured the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger.
In the stands, there was a burst of thunderous cheers.
Of course, there were also boos.
These were the triumphant cheers of the winning gamblers and the curses of the losing ones.
"What a splendid beast battle performance." Yun Tianhe's lips curled up.
"Sir, you see, even a powerful beast like the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger, a Bronze BOSS, couldn't withstand the attacks of so many black wolves after losing its horn."
"What are you trying to say?" The Purple Flame Sovereign said in a deep voice.
"Nothing, just making sure you understand a fact, sir." Yun Tianhe said lightly.
He pointed to the audience below with various reactions.
"All those gamblers who believed in the lingering might of the Purple Gold Thunder Horned Tiger have lost everything."
"While those who bet on the wolves have made a fortune."
"A pair of eyes that can see the situation clearly is crucial."
"Don't you agree, Lord Purple Flame Sovereign?"
