Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 52 - 33: He Looks Just Like Lan Cang...

The Leopard Beast senior bypassed the crowd and ran to a hidden cave. Inside, shielded from the external light screens, he found Sophie Asate.

"Fei’er, there are a lot of Star Beasts outside. You should stay in the cave for the next half-month and not come out. Kuerqi has set up a defensive barrier at the entrance; Star Beasts below the Seventh Rank can’t break through, so it’s very safe."

"Is that really okay? Then... what about my score?"

A Seventh Rank Brown Bear Beastman walked back from the entrance, ingratiatingly offering her a piece of fruit. "It’s just a matter of catching a few High Rank Star Beasts. Fei’er, you just wait here. The two of us will bring the Tokens back for you in no time. We guarantee you’ll take first place in this test!"

"You two are so considerate." Sophie Asate took a bite of the fruit and glanced in a certain direction. "...Oh, right. I don’t want to see that detestable Mouse Beast female anymore. You two know what to do, don’t you?"

"Don’t worry, Fei’er," the Brown Bear Beastman said with a sinister, meaningful chuckle. "Yalan Military School isn’t a place just any riffraff can get into. The third stage, the elimination round, is quite difficult. All the new students have signed a Life and Death Contract. Every year, a few people go missing during the elimination round. This year, naturally, will be no exception..."

Only then did Sophie smile with satisfaction. She stroked her belly and gave a coquettish smile. "Take care of it, and I’ll make sure you two are well rewarded."

The two Beastmen’s gazes immediately turned fiery. If not for the setting, sparks likely would have flown between them right then and there.

’A few days ago, Sophie had heard that the Mouse Beast female had actually tested for a Talent Ability—a Fifth Rank Thunder Element, no less. It made her burn with jealousy. Why should a Mouse Beast female with such an inferior bloodline possess such a powerful Talent Ability!’

’Having no Talent Ability had always been Sophie Asate’s greatest sore spot. It had to be because her Beast Husbands weren’t strong enough. As long as she could conquer a King Beast, her own talent would absolutely be greater than Sang Luo’s!’

’Sophie had subtly probed Duotu for information. Sang Luo was just some Mouse Beast female that Caesar had brought back from a poor, remote tribe after being attacked by the Insect Clan. She had a despicable, lowly bloodline; the only good thing about her was her pretty face. Caesar’s interest in her was likely just a passing fancy.’

’A low-class Mouse Beast like her, with no background or family... even if I dealt with her secretly, it wouldn’t cause me any trouble...’

Sang Luo overheard the entire plan the three of them were discussing.

Sang Luo’s lips curled into a cold smile. ’She never liked to provoke others, but if they insisted on provoking her, then she would show absolutely no mercy.’

The two Beastmen were Sophie Asate’s partners, and both were Seventh Rank. The Leopard Beast senior even possessed an extremely rare spiritual-power-control-type Talent Ability. They headed to the very center of the Hunting Ground. The Star Beasts in this inner region were of a higher Level than those in the outer ring, with Sixth and even Seventh Rank High Rank Star Beasts frequently appearing. Most new students didn’t dare to venture here.

The pair soon found a Seventh Rank Star Beast.

It looked like a dinosaur, dozens of meters tall and as massive as a small mountain. The ground shook with its every step.

The two fought the Star Beast together for dozens of rounds. After landing a blow on its abdomen, the Leopard Beast quickly used his spiritual power to control it. The strain was immense, and blood began to seep from his own nose, mouth, and ears.

He wiped the blood from his face, a cold, sinister smile on his lips. Standing before the Star Beast’s snout, he took out a small lock of hair.

"Get a good sniff of this scent. Kill her— AHHH!!!"

The supposedly controlled Star Beast suddenly went berserk. It devoured the Bear Beastman in a single bite. The Leopard Beast instinctively recoiled, but one of his arms was brutally ripped off, sending blood and flesh flying...

"What’s happening over there? Someone’s fighting a High Rank Star Beast! Quick, let’s go see!"

Some nearby Beastmen rushed over to help. Sang Luo glanced in their direction, swiftly retracted her spiritual power, and leaped to another tree, her figure vanishing in an instant.

For the past half-month, Sang Luo roamed every corner of the Hunting Ground, slaying lone Star Beasts. Whether they were Low Rank or High Rank, she treated them all the same, finishing them with a single strike.

The score on her Light Brain skyrocketed, launching her into the top ten.

The new students were absolutely stunned. A reaper had emerged in this year’s elimination round—and it was a female!

The instructors outside the Hunting Ground were also in disbelief.

"This... when that noble female comes out, shouldn’t we test her talent again?" one of the instructors asked.

The headmaster didn’t dare make the decision himself and looked to Caesar. "Admiral, this young female you brought is truly extraordinary. In past years, the only ones who could achieve such a score were usually Seventh Rank Beastmen. I’m afraid this young female might be..."

Caesar rejected the academy’s proposal for another talent test. He was even starting to regret letting her participate in the admissions competition at all. She was attracting far too much attention. He’d already seen several young pups trying their best to cozy up to her, like that Peacock Beast showing off its feathers. It was incredibly annoying.

As she fought her way through, every new student in the Hunting Ground came to know Sang Luo’s fearsome reputation. Some students from prominent families wanted to team up with her, but Sang Luo had no desire to carry any dead weight, so she refused them all.

With her score, securing a spot as a new student was a sure thing. Sang Luo wasn’t particularly interested in competing for a specific rank; she just wanted to use these Star Beasts to hone her Talent Power.

After a female and a Male Beast form a union, she can receive one-tenth of his Talent Power as nourishment. However, whether she can refine it into her own Talent Power depends on the female herself. Most females can’t even utilize 1% of their partner’s power, and a small portion can’t use Talent Power at all. In those cases, the partner’s Talent Power is essentially wasted.

’If Sang Luo wanted to go back home, the only way was to break through to the Legendary Realm.’

The few new students who saw how hard she was fighting were stunned. ’A female... does a female really need to go all out like this...?’

...

In the last two days of the competition, a massive, chaotic free-for-all was set to break out. The Star Beasts in the Hunting Ground had been all but exterminated, so the only way to get more Tokens was to snatch them from others.

The real elimination match was only just beginning.

Sang Luo’s reputation as the "Star Beast Hunting Machine" had already spread far and wide. Since she was also a beautiful female, few males had the heart to attack her. Thus, during the great free-for-all of the final two days, almost no one came looking for trouble with her.

Sang Luo glanced at her score on the Light Brain, which was holding steady in the top ten. Feeling quite relaxed, she sat on a dead tree stump and took out some food she had prepared in advance from her storage space.

’A spatial superpower really is the must-have Talent Ability for travel. No matter how long you store food, it never spoils or goes bad.’

For the past half-month, the other new students had survived on nothing but nutritional fluids. Sang Luo, on the other hand, had been enjoying hearty meals of meat and vegetables, with plenty to eat and drink every day. Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was on a leisurely outing.

The other students were practically consumed by envy, jealousy, and hatred!

After eating and drinking her fill, she dusted off her hands and stood up, planning to look around for any more stray Star Beasts.

She sent out her spiritual power to scan the area. Not far away, a group of noble scions were bullying a Wolf Beast boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen.

Sang Luo froze, as if struck by lightning. She vanished from the spot in an instant. ’He... he looks just like Lan Cang!’
