My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods

Chapter 63: Strength Identifier

Strength Identifier At midnight, the bright moon ascended, scattering its silver light to nourish all things!

Countless Demonic Beasts awakened in the dark to hunt. The weak became withered bones, while the strong quietly basked in the moonlight after their feast.

The weak are prey to the strong; this was laid bare in the Wilderness.

At the East City exit of Great Abyss City, the military guards happened to be on a one-hour rotation, and a large number of mysterious figures used this time to head to a secret gathering spot outside the city.

These many masked figures did not interact much with one another, maintaining a safe distance.

The "Ten-time Champion" Qi Wei was also among them, limping comically as he followed the two figures ahead.

Although he hadn't managed to get the video of Lu Yu beating him from the Referee, how could that stump him, the second-place student in cultural studies?

That very day, he wrote over a thousand words from the loser's perspective, eloquently describing his defeat and highlighting how Lu Yu's pet beast had crushed him, especially providing a detailed, multi-angle analysis of how domineering the final phrase "Not to be Taken as a Precedent" was.

The template could have been used by some celebrity fans; they would only need to change the name and nothing else.

After he posted it, because he himself was a somewhat famous genius, it instantly went viral within a small circle, attracting countless likes and shares.A whole bunch of people were dumbfounded!

They thought he was just trying to save face, but they never expected him to be serious!

This bizarre behavior angered Qi Wei's father, Qi Changhai, so much that he nearly dragged him to the hospital for Leech Therapy to suck the water out of his brain.

If he didn't have only one son, he would have been kicked out of the family long ago!

But he was his own flesh and blood, after all. After much thought, Qi Changhai decided to ask a relative's child, Qi Wei's Cousin, to help discipline him.

Only after she arrived did Qi Wei realize he actually knew her; it was the sweet and naive Yu Xiyan who had been with Lu Yu before.

Previously, his focus had been entirely on Lu Yu.

This time, seeing Yu Xiyan up close, he fell in love at first sight.

Who wouldn't love a talented and gentle girl!

He had intended to show off his strength to win the beauty's heart, but the outcome was…

He was mercilessly crushed!

She wasn't the sweet and gentle person she was with Lu Yu at all; instead, she was terrifyingly two-faced.

Afterward, she put him through a series of hellish training sessions. All that can be said of the process is that even in his dreams, he muttered a single word—miserable!

Other people train pet beasts, but this woman was training him as if he were a pet beast!

Do Beast Tamers from your family have to fight in person!?

But the key was that he couldn't beat her, couldn't escape her, and all his thoughts were seen through; she was just short of guessing his bank card password.

Every time he wanted to complain, Yu Xiyan would appear by his parents' side first, smilingly praising him for being hardworking and obedient. And no matter what he said, he would only be seen as ungrateful and immature, and in serious cases, he'd get a joint beating from his parents.

This only made Yu Xiyan seem all the more understanding.

This led to his legs feeling like they weren't his own after just two days of training, forcing him to walk with a limp.

If it weren't for the news about the power-type primordial pet beast, the Desolate Strength Ant, he would have rather died than go out today.

Thinking of this, he looked at the gentle girl ahead with the impressive figure, a white, half-face fox mask, and an elegant low ponytail, and muttered:

"Women are all wolves and tigers…"

"Cousin, what are you saying?"

Before he could finish, Yu Xiyan suddenly turned her head, her cyan eyes looking at him with a smile.

In that moment, Qi Wei felt as if everything about him was seen through, his future toyed with and altered by a slender hand, yet he was powerless to resist, only able to wag his tail and beg before her like a puppy.

This horrifying vision of the future scared him so much that he staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

"You can't even walk properly, hurry up and keep up!"

Qi Changhai looked at Qi Wei, his disappointment palpable.

He could never have imagined that he, a dignified peak Gold Rank Beast Tamer, despite not having Transformed Spirituality, was still the owner of a medium-sized beast nurturing base.

If not a regional powerhouse, he was at least filthy rich!

To think he would end up with such a bizarre son!

It's one thing to be defeated; you should work hard to improve and win back your honor. But what's the meaning of being proud of your defeat and even writing a short essay praising your opponent?

All the face he had painstakingly saved up for half his life was completely thrown away by this damn kid.

Now, whenever he goes out, he feels like a crowd of people are mocking him in their hearts.

Just as he was considering whether to give him a beating to vent his anger, Yu Xiyan's gentle voice sounded, "Uncle, don't be angry.

It's not good for your health. Cousin is still young; he'll be more sensible when he's older."

"Xiyan, I really envy your parents for having such a sensible daughter…" Far from calming down, Qi Changhai grew even angrier.

He shot Qi Wei a fierce glare and scolded, "For Xiyan's sake, I won't yell at you today. Hurry up and keep up! If you dawdle any longer, get your ass back home! Don't come out here and embarrass yourself!"

Qi Wei was dumbfounded by the scolding.

Yu Xiyan was the one who scared him, yet she ended up being the good guy!

Is this woman a devil in human skin?

Will the rest of my life be lived under her shadow? Will she even put me on a dog leash?

The thought of that possibility made Qi Wei despair…

Just how did Lu Yu turn this two-faced woman into a sweet and naive girl?

But this was just a small interlude. After leaving Great Abyss City, they didn't enter a pitch-black wilderness, but a brightly lit scene.

A large number of small lanterns burning with eerie blue flames shone brightly, forming winding paths of blue fire, arranged in orderly, parallel lines, like countless tributaries flowing into a central sea.

Upon closer inspection, the true appearance of these lanterns could be seen.

They were each made entirely of white cloth, with a cartoonish smiley face drawn on one side. Bathed in the eerie blue light, they looked dorky and cute.

Qi Wei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"What cute pet beasts!"

"How many times have I told you not to judge a pet beast's strength by its appearance!"

Qi Changhai, standing beside him, glanced at him. Though speechless, he was his son after all, so he instructed:

"These are Servant Rank pet beasts, Ghost Fire Lanterns.

Although they aren't strong, their perception is sharp. They can determine if a target possesses spirituality and sense its strength, so they are often cultivated by some Supernatural Gatherings to prevent ordinary people from intruding.

Don't be fooled by their cute appearance; the ghost fire they release can easily burn you to ashes, turning your flesh and blood into nothing but dust.

There are at least several thousand Ghost Fire Lanterns here, and they aren't running rampant.

This indicates that there's at least one top-rank Commander Rank, advanced-form 【Soul Lantern】 leader controlling them. We can infer that their master is a Beast Tamer who follows the Beast King System.

Even a Gold Beast Tamer with Transformed Spirituality would likely fall before such Beast Swarm Tactics!"

Qi Wei didn't talk back. He nodded seriously, his expression grave.

He hadn't expected these seemingly cute pet beasts to harbor so much danger.

As expected, one can't be careless for even a moment!

Along the Ghost Fire Path formed by these Ghost Fire Lanterns, mysterious Beast Tamers stepped forward one by one, many of whom were powerful Beast Tamers with their pet beasts, flaunting their strength.

In a path next to Qi Wei's group, a Beast Tamer wearing a Frog Mask approached with a Giant Toad Pet Beast. Its massive body hopped along, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Its aura was powerful; this was at least a Gold Rank Beast Tamer!

"Croak!"

The pressure emanating from the giant frog caused the ghost lanterns forming the path to tremble slightly. Their blue flames flared up as they entered a state of alert.

"A little interesting!"

The Beast Tamer in the Frog Mask chuckled and walked straight ahead.

The others on the same Ghost Fire Path recognized this person's terrifying strength and quickly moved to the sides, clearing an empty path for him to walk alone.

It was domineering, but no one objected.

Nor did anyone dare to provoke him.

The weak are prey to the strong—this is also the rule among Beast Tamers!

It was like the curtain rising. After he passed, one powerful Beast Tamer after another arrived, triggering different reactions from the ghost lanterns.

Most of them only triggered the Ghost Fire Lanterns' alert state, until a Female Beast Tamer with a giant Two-headed Black Snake arrived. The mere moment she approached, the ghost fire surged a meter high.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought a forest fire had started.

If not for the Soul Lantern leader controlling them from the shadows, these Ghost Fire Lanterns would have likely entered a state of frenzy and attacked wildly!

However, the two-headed giant snake raised its body, flicking its tongue, not paying them any mind.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. This was at least a peak Gold Rank Beast Tamer!

The Female Beast Tamer walked through the boiling Ghost Fire Path under the awestruck gazes of the crowd.

Only then did Qi Wei understand that what the Ghost Fire Lanterns formed before him was not just a path, but a Strength Identifier for the Beast Taming World
