Chapter 866: Destined To Never Be Yours…

When the Toad King rushed to the test site, he found that there were a thousand onlookers in the audience.

Yue Yang and the Reaper Mantis, however, were nowhere to be found.

It felt strange to the Toad King. Did that kid fail? Had he left to find his resurrected beast? That kid was crazy enough to challenge these difficult-level tests casually; it would be strange if he didn’t fail! Thinking of this, the large stone that was dangling in its heart had finally been set down. If that kid succeeded, there was no need to mention the Lion King, the ruler of the Beast Valley that had a habit of making sure it would be protected, the Eagle King and the Human-Faced Tiger, or even the Poisonous Queen Bee who never believed in anyone but herself. It would remain a fact that these four would flock over to his good side and treat the Toad King badly should the kid succeed.

“In which level did the kid fail?” The Toad King found its subordinate, Lightning Lizard, and pretended to ask it. “Ten levels…” The Lightning Lizard’s voice trembled.

“What are you talking about? He failed at the tenth Level? Hahaha, I already said that he would fail. No one has ever passed the most difficult level. In the history of the Beast Valley, there has not been a challenger to successfully pass all the levels, and the scum of a brat thinks he can do it? How arrogant of him!” King Toad sneered on the surface, but it was quite a shock internally.

“No, that’s not it, it’s not like that,” The Lightning Lizard swallowed hard and secretly looked up at the Toad King, weakly muttering, “I mean, that person has passed all ten Levels.”

“All ten Levels? How can this be possible?!” The Toad King was shocked to the point where it couldn’t believe its ears.

“That is an irrefutable fact that this subordinate has seen with my own eyes. I would never dare to deceive you, my King, as everyone had bore witness to it as well,” The Lightning Lizard was ready to escape immediately.

“Besides, that kid only took an hour,” Bobcat, the Lion King’s subordinate, also added.

“If I knew that the reward of completing all ten levels was the high-level ‘Holy Fruit of Wisdom’, I would have tried it even if it would cost my life,” the old mandrill Long Hair murmured and sighed. Now even if it wanted to take the test, it has already lost its qualifications.

Only new challengers were eligible for the test.

Another category of people who qualified to take the test were none other than the residents who stayed behind after failing.

As for the challengers who have died and turned into beasts, they felt nothing but jealousy. Once they became beasts, they were not eligible to take the test ever again.

The Toad King heard that something was amiss.

Holy Fruit of Wisdom?

What is this stuff, why haven’t I heard of it?

The old mandrill Long Hair immediately assumed the stance of ‘I am the wise sage of the legendary seas’, stroking its beard and then using a walking stick to tap the ground. The old mandrill walked a few steps and let out a cough. It was a pity that no one cooperated with it to offer a cup of tea, wine or something of all sorts. Otherwise, its aura would be even greater. The Toad King was so angry that he felt smoke emanating from his being. What are you pretending to be in front of me? If it wasn’t to give the Lion King a bit of respect, I would have killed you with one slap or swallowed you whole! Under the gaze of nearly a thousand beasts and residents, the old mandrill began to explain to everyone, “The Holy Fruit of Wisdom— this is an extremely rare thing to obtain in the Upper Heaven Realm as the Lower Heaven Realm has none. This kind of treasure can only be found in the Blessed Earth Sky Cave, where the superiors that had levels close to the Gods live.”

As soon as it said, the beasts and the residents showed worshipful gazes.

A few guys cheered on the spot.

That was the Holy Fruit of Wisdom just now?

No wonder it looked different from ordinary wisdom fruit.

Someone asked in a low voice, “How useful is this Holy Fruit of Wisdom that was labelled as such an awesome treasure?”

Although the onlookers saw that Yue Yang had just received this reward, the Lion King, Eagle King, Human-Faced Tiger and the Poisonous Queen Bee were all interested in befriending him. Hence, they did not dare to step forward and rob him of the Holy Fruit. Of course, the most important reason behind their reluctant actions was because they were afraid of student Yue Yang’s Pandora’s Box. They knew that box was not something to mess with lightly.

The old mandrill showed off like a persecutor before it looked at the audience at last, saying, “The Holy Fruit of Wisdom, as the name suggests, is a treasure of the Holy Rank. Its power is more than a hundred times the ordinary Fruit of Wisdom. Its power will not only be 100 times stronger than that of an ordinary fruit. Should it be ingested by beasts of elementary intelligence, their level of wisdom would be raised exponentially and immediately; should it be taken by higher wisdom beasts, their ranks would gradually improve to become a Quasi-Holy Beast. It is said that in the Heaven Realm, there are some Quasi-Holy Beasts that could no longer improve their wisdom by any means. When they cannot grow into Holy Beasts, they would search for this kind of Holy Fruit of Wisdom at all costs. The promoted Quasi-Holy Beast would also be very likely to break through the spiritual barrier, unlock its great wisdom, and become a Holy Beast!”

Hiss!

All of the onlookers slurped a gulp of saliva as soon as they heard those words.

Towards such a treasure, it would be a lie if they didn’t feel jealous. Even the most purest of hearts would salivate at the thought when faced with the precious Holy Fruit of Wisdom.

The mouth of the Toad King became a waterfall of saliva.

Dripping.

It flowed all over the place!

“If you are already a Holy Beast, what will happen if you eat the Holy Fruit of Wisdom?” Someone asked this question.

“Hmph!” The old mandrill basked in its adamantly confident aura, “If a Holy Beast eats it, it will be even more remarkable. This is because the higher level of intelligence the beast has, the more it would benefit from ingesting the Fruit. This concept is entirely opposite to the ordinary Fruit of Wisdom!”

“Are you saying that, if the Holy Beast eats the Holy Fruit of Wisdom, it has a chance to become a Divine Beast?” The questioner’s voice kept trembling with excitement.

“Hehe, the chances… are pretty big!” When the old mandrill said so, the audience was in an uproar.

If the little thing who was already a Holy Beast really ate the Holy Fruit of Wisdom, wouldn’t the Beast Valley produce a Divine Beast? If a Divine Beast comes to this world, will the Beast Valley be the same as it was now? The same people who offended the insane newcomer before would probably have to pay the price for upsetting him, right?

Now, the onlookers looked at the Toad King.

Its expression was like seeing a misfortunate plague.

All of them couldn’t help but retreat farther from the Toad King, lest they would be involved in the feud of the two.

Even the Lightning Lizard of the Toad King dare not get too close to its leader. One of the reasons was because when the Toad King becomes angry, it likes to eat people; the other reason is because misfortune incidences like these were really contagious. Believe it or not, that insane newcomer worked best with curses and his best skill was to use the Divine Power of Calamity to toruture others. Perhaps the Toad King had already been cursed by him. The Toad King’s face was now ugly, looking as if it had been constipated for a month.

It glanced around.

Everyone was cautiously guarding themselves against it, fearing that it would break out if it was hit hard.

However, the Toad King suddenly laughed, and the terrible laughter made the surrounding beasts and residents retreat further.

“Pui! A mere 2nd-Level Heaven Ranked beast wants to frighten me? So what if it is a Holy Beast? Did I not own a Holy Beast in my time here as a challenger? Would this Lord become a toad had it not been a Fire Fighting Spirit that killed my Sky Frog Demon, which resulted in me becoming like this? And although I have turned into this form, I can still look down on you weak imbeciles! Besides the Lion King and the Leader of the Three Chiefs and the residents, Darius, which one amongst you can say that you are my opponent?” The Toad King laughed wildly as its belly trembled, “Look, you poor beasts, I will show you. To hell with your Holy Beasts, future Divine Beasts; they will become lowly scum that would be at the same standing as my faeces! If there really is any sort of Divine Beast in the Beast Valley, that would be me!”

“Ah, my king…you have already become a beast!” The Lightning Lizard weakly reminded its boss that the time for daydreaming had passed as the beasts were not eligible to participate in the test, let alone obtain the Holy Fruit of Wisdom.

“Everyone thinks so, don’t they?” The Toad King laughed wildly.

Its ugly body shuddered suddenly.

A foul-smelling mucus oozes out of its densely uneven skin warts.

Immediately afterwards, from the poison sac behind its eyes, a naked man emerged from the white venom as he grinned evilly as he looked down at the stunned beasts around him.

T/L Note: I can finally label him as a ‘He’ now, yayyyyy.

P/F Note: Finally lmaoo

Unbelievably, the Toad King is still a resident and not a beast.

For thousands of years, he has fooled everyone.

It turns out that he was a resident who could fight alongside the beasts!

The Lightning Lizard was trembling with excitement, “My king, are you really a resident? Then why didn’t you become the leader of the residents, but chose to fight to be the king of the beasts?”

The evil man sneered, “Nonsense. My Battle Beast has actually only died once, so how can I not be a resident? As for why I should be the King of Beasts and not the leader of the residents, the reason is actually very simple. One is that there are too few residents and they have already become devout followers; I wouldn’t be able to hire large numbers. The second reason is that the Eagle King and the Human-Faced Tiger were struggling against the Lion King. Hence, my appearance seemed to coincide with that and so I joined them as a beast king.”

The old mandrill stood out, “Even if you are a resident, what about it? Even if you can fight with your beast as one, it would also be a command of consciousness. Your toad can’t improve in wisdom, so no matter how strong it is, it would be useless. And even if it was powerful, is it as strong as the Lion King? Without wisdom, you would never get out of the Beast Valley!”

After hearing this, the evil man looked up to the sky and laughed like a maniac.

He pointed to the old mandrill Long Hair and yelled coldly, “Scram, old man, I will show you what my great plan is!”

An eagle-headed beast rushed to the front of the evil man and knelt down respectfully.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Eagle Head dug out one of its own eyes as it resisted the pain and handed it to the evil man.

The evil man asked, “Are you sure you have completely copied that kid’s actions with the ‘Eagle Eye’?”

The Eagle Head replied respectfully,”It’s absolutely the same.”

The man laughed before he punched a hole and embedded the eyeball in his forehead. Countless white mucus and tentacle-like granulation exuded from the bloody hole. It glued the wound and the granulation penetrated into the eyeball, perfectly connecting it within a few seconds. As the evil man laughed triumphantly, “After waiting for thousands of years, I finally got what I wanted. Whether it is the Fruit of Wisdom or the Holy Fruit of Wisdom, I don’t care because I want them both!”

Now, the onlookers understood.

This Toad King had planned it for a long time.

Regardless of whether the opponent succeeded in the challenge, he had all the benefits.

If Yue Yang had failed, then the opponent’s strength would be greatly damaged and the Toad King no longer had to remain afraid. He probably would use all the means he had to make sure Yue Yang wouldn’t escape from his grasp anyways. But even if he succeeded, the Toad King would not lose anything. On the contrary, because the eagle head beast’s secret technique, ‘Eagle Eye’ has copied the opponent’s successful technique, he too, will soon obtain the Holy Fruit of Wisdom.

If the Toad King obtains the Holy Fruit of Wisdom, the Beast Valley will be a goner. Blood will flow and become a river whereas corpses will be littered all over the field.

The evil man waved his hand.

After the huge toad jumped onto the slingshot launcher, it immediately shrank under the energy of the Law, forming a Battle-Beast Shell.

According to the ‘Eagle Eye’ who copied Yue Yang’s firing angle and skills, the evil man fired smartly, perfectly launching the toad shells.

Rumble!

The first hit was successful— a great success!

It was exactly the same as Yue Yang’s previous launch, which was not bad at all.

It took less than a minute for the toad beast to teleport back to the palm of the evil man.

The beasts and residents on the sidelines cursed silently. Could this ‘Eagle Eye’ really copy the techniques perfectly?

“With a successful precedent, Holy Fruit of Wisdom, just wait for me to eat you! Ahahaha!” The evil man laughed arrogantly and the Lightning Lizard wanted to remind him that no matter how precious the Holy Fruit of Wisdom was, it could only be eaten by beasts. Humans will definitely become idiots after eating that fruit. However, it dared not step forward to correct the language of the sentence as it proceeded to shrink in the corner and quietly wait for the result.

Whoosh!

The second toad shell continued to fly out, the angle and technique exactly the same as when Yue Yang launched the Reaper Mantis before.

Rumble!

Just when everyone was discouraged, downcast, ready to leave, and couldn’t bear to look at the scene again, the Bobcat suddenly screamed, “This isn’t right. Although the supporting log broke, the base fell on the wrong point, and the angle of inclination of the third tower is also a little different. However, the most important thing is that the tip of the middle tower fell down but the short spear of the tallest tower didn’t break. Wow, wow, that piglet is still alive. He failed! The foolproof copy has failed!”

Everyone looked up and was surprised to find out.

The short spear didn’t break entirely, but it stuck to the tip of the tower in the slightest bit.

The falling direction of the center spire changed. It hit the ground and the rubble crashed. One of the large boulders even hit the toad that was in the light ball of the Law.

The toad in the ball of light immediately rolled up slowly towards the edge of the lava pool. “No, no, don’t!” The evil man was going crazy and he desperately wanted it to stop, but the cruel reality made him want to fly into the test field and personally rescue the dying toad. He couldn’t figure it out—it’s obviously the exact same action, so why did he fail? And why did that kid succeed! He has now accepted the failure, but hopes that the toad will not fall into the pool and die. Once he falls into the pool and dies, the toad will have only one last chance.

If the Lion King, Eagle King, Human-Faces Tiger and Poisonous Queen Bee swarm to attack him, then he will truly become a beast.

Then, he will never be able to leave the Beast Valley.

There would even be a risk of death!

“No, no, no!” The evil man yelled frantically.Should it be luck or some other reason, the toad in the ball of light only rolled to the edge of the lava pool before it stopped.

At an extremely dangerous point.

But in the end, it didn’t fall into the lava pool. This made the beast onlookers sigh one by one. What a pity, it was just a bit more!

The sharp-eyed Bobcat still hadn’t given up, pointing to the test site and shouting, “Look, the spire is shattered and the cobblestone is still rolling. It’s rolling towards the toad…”

“Come on, go and knock off that dirty toad!” Normally the beasts would never dare to shout like this, but they were so excited that they had completely forgotten that the Toad King was by their side. One by one, as if they were injected with some sort of dosage, they jumped up and down with excitement. They wanted to rush in and give it a kick to speed up the cobblestone over to the toad on the edge. They wanted the toad to fall into the lava pool and die instantly.

“No, no, it’s dangerous, it’s dangerous!” The evil man noticed that the boulder was getting slower and slower. It rolled to the side of the toad ball and stopped, not hitting it at all. He was ecstatic internally as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands.

“Boom!”

The third tower, which fell against the middle tower, stumbled a little more.

Several short spears that blocked the artillery shells of the beasts broke off, and one of them happened to fly towards the edge of the cobblestone. Upon collision, the cobblestone rolled up quickly and rolled over the toad ball. Under the gazes of the onlookers, the light ball of the toad shook a few times. Finally, it slowly tilted little by little, diagonally edging towards the boiling lava pool. Even if the toad struggled crazily in it, even if the desperate evil man punched and kicked the slingshot, it was of no avail as he could not save the fate of the toad’s failure and death.

All the beasts cheered, happier than winning a big victory.

The Bobcat instantly shook its butt happily.

“Congratulations, congratulations..”. All the beasts sang the hymn of the Beast King when it ascended the throne. Listening to the tune now sounded very ironic though.

The old mandrill Long Hair stroked its beard in one hand, and at the same time portrayed a serious tone of teaching the younger generation, “Even though it is the same method, not everyone can succeed! The other one succeeded because there was a holy beast, and as for you, there is nothing else but a toad! The Holy Beast of the other party knows how to cooperate, but your toad is a complete idiot! So, some things are destined to never be yours. Even if you want it so desperately, you are unable to obtain it! Haha!”

The Toad King was trembling with anger, almost vomiting three liters worth of blood.

At this moment, he really wanted to find a piece of tofu and then smash himself to death![1]

T/L Note: [1] Not sure if this was intentional, but since tofu is one of the softest foods out there, author-san might just be implying sarcasm or irony of the evil man.
