Chapter 360: The Dragon has Regrets
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
Zhao Chong's eyes erupted with blue rays. That was a type of demonic flames. The corner of his eyes were almost aflame for he could bear it no longer.
Chu Feng actually dared to insult him like this. In the end, he had to fight against a toad. This was too overbearing!
"Hey, do you know the rules? We have to fight at the same level. I'm a king with three severed shackles. Come at me if you dare. I can take on ten of you!" the toad provoked.
"I'll slap you to death!" Zha Chong didn't want to follow the rules because he felt it was too humiliating.
"Croak!" The toad turned and fled. Its speed was extremely fast. It used both hands and legs to dash away and almost caught up to Chu Feng and Li Canghe.
"Senior, are all descender scions so despicable and untrustworthy? The agreement was to fight fair and square but, in the end, he's bullying my divine beast." Chu Feng jeered.
To hell with that divine beast and, what's more, who was bullying who? Everyone cursed inwardly.
Apparently, Chu Feng was doing this on purpose to smear Zhao Chong's name.
"Zhao Chong, you decide yourself!" Li Canghe said seriously. His attitude was unexpected. The group of evolved beings was all astonished.
It was apparent that this old man favored Chu Feng quite a bit.
"Zhao Chong, don't be such a sore loser. We're all descender scions. Don't throw our face away," some from among the group of youngsters who had bad relationships with Zhao Chong began to hit him while he was down.
"Fine, fine, fine. You really think I'm so easy to bully? I'll take down this disgusting toad in three moves and then go to settle the score with Chu Feng. If he doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll kill him immediately, no one can stop me!" At this point, Zhao Chong shot a glance at Li Canghe meaningfully.
He was the descendant of a descended being. As strong as Li Canghe was, he wouldn't dare to actually obstruct Zhao Chong. The latter was now determined to do Chu Feng in.
The toad was dissatisfied and said angrily, "Hey grandson, who are you calling disgusting? You want to beat me in three moves? Goddammit, do you believe I can kill you in a single slap?!"
Behind him, Chu Feng said calmly, "If you can beat my divine beast in battle at the same realm, I'll let you do whatever you want."
This was simply adding oil to the flames. He wasn't afraid of making things bigger.
Everyone looked on with odd expressions because they felt it was somewhat too excessive. Was he going to pit a toad against a genius in battle?
Zhao Chong was an expert descender scion of great talents. His strength was absolutely brilliant.
"You're too smug! Don't regret later on if you happen to be lifting a rock and smashing your own foot!" Zhou Yun reminded Chu Feng with a soft voice.
"It's no big deal. My divine beast is very powerful. That Zhao something definitely can't beat it." Chu Feng didn't even speak his opponent's name completely.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
At the same time, many of them were cursing, "How is your mount a divine beast. It's clearly just a toad. If you dare act so unbridled, you'll definitely have to cry later on!"
Zhao Chong's eyes were starting to turn green. His whole body was trembling as he gripped his fists tightly. He couldn't help but want to pounce over and smash Chu Feng to pieces with a single fist.
However, the toad was there gesturing provocatively, asking him to come over.
"Come, you sickly man. This grandpa will fight a thousand rounds with you until you're pissing in your pants," the toad taunted.
"Kill!" Zhao Chong made his move.
"Zhao Chong, you said you'll kill him in three moves so use your ultimate moves!" someone shouted.
"Heavenly toad art first form: green seas and blue skies!" the toad cried loudly as it met the enemy decisively. The way he cried out the name of his move was quite artistic.
But after everyone saw what his move involved, all of them glared hard and were dumbfounded. They retreated after a while for fear of being involved.
That was because this so-called "heavenly toad first form: green seas and blue skies", was the toad opening its large mouth and spitting like mad. Frothy saliva sprayed out in all directions.
"This outrageous toad, is he really trying to fight? Why does it look like a rascal spitting during a quarrel?" Some people couldn't take it anymore and said thus.
Zhao Chong was full of anger. He exerted his full strength and wanted to kill this toad immediately. In the end, he only saw a downpour of saliva. The opponent's fluids were simply too abundant.
"Splatter, splatter…" Spit poured down like rain.
Zhao Chong was feminine and fussy about hygiene. Currently, he was feeling extremely disgusted and had to retreat rapidly. He really didn't want to be stained with even a drop of that saliva.
"I'll slaughter you!" Finally, after dodging the first move, Zhao Chong angrily slapped out a palm radiance. The attack caused the earth's surface to collapse and shook the nearby mountains so hard that they nearly exploded.
This was the terrifying strength sleeping within his body.
"Heavenly toad second form: great innate qi Art!" the toad roared.
Its bulging belly began to rumble like thunder. Following which, it opened its wide mouth and spat out a blast of terrifying air.
That was the great innate qi art it was talking about. It was indeed terrifying. It broke apart the nearby trees and caused millstone-sized rocks to fly into the air.
Zhao Chong was both angry and humiliated. He didn't want to come into contact with the toad's air stream, and as such, he ran away from it. His mysophobia was already giving him the goosebumps.
"Killing one every ten steps and unstoppable for thousands of miles. This king is just that powerful. Defeated opponent Zhao Chong, where do you think you're going? Don't run!" The toad scuttled over and began to attack proactively.
Zhao Chong was absolutely furious. When was he ever defeated? This disgraceful toad was too despicable and just as shameless as Chu Feng.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
The two finally began fighting one another. Their exchange dazzled everyone because they had exchanged dozens of moves within the blink of an eye. Their fight was quite busy.
"Three moves, four moves, ten moves… already 50 moves!"
Some people shouted from the side. They were calculating the moves exchanged.
Everyone was astonished and couldn't believe that this toad could completely block Zhao Chong's torrential attacks. It was crying out loudly and fighting with all its might.
"Watch my heavenly toad 51st form: the dragon in the fields!" the toad cried out.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this really a toad art or the Dragon Subduing 18 Palms? This toad was too awesome!
It was fierce to the extreme—it had fought dozens of rounds against Zhao Chong but was still crying out loudly and becoming braver and braver. It was an outlandish miracle!
Even Zhou Yun and Princess Lin opened their small mouths with expressions of disbelief on their faces. This toad was too capable—it hopped around continuously as it locked itself in battle with Zhao Chong.
At this time, if one were to ask who was feeling the most upset, then it had to be Zhao Chong. He even wanted to die right away because he had been fighting against a toad for so long in an evenly matched battle. This was too humiliating.
That was because this was merely Chu Feng's mount. What was worse was that such a disgusting insect was actually sharing the limelight with him.
He had announced that he would beat the toad within three moves but now he had long passed 50. Zhao Chong's face was burning up. He wanted nothing more than to bang his head on the ground and end this.
"Heavenly toad 101st style: the dragon has regrets!" the toad cried out.
Everyone was flabbergasted. They were now allergic to its move names. What a troublemaker
Zhao Chong was about to go mad. He fought frantically and used everything at his disposal. One had to know that they had fought for 101 bouts. This had far surpassed his expectations. He was resentful for having to fight against a toad to the verge of insanity. It was quite a miserable situation because neither victory nor defeat would bring him any honor.
"Everyone come and keep watching. Let's see how many rounds later when Zhao Chong will snap and stop suppressing his energy," someone said deliberately to block Zhao Chong's path of retreat.

Chu Feng was quite calm as he walked forward with Li Canghe. He wasn't worried about the toad at all because, with its strength as a divine beast, such a battle was too easy.
In front of them, a small mountain was surging with an auspicious aura. It was shorter than the surrounding large mountains, however, it was surging with rosy clouds, flickering with a jadeite glow, and filled with verdant old pines.
There was a cave at the foot of the mountain. It was suffused with rolling purple mist as if a divine beast was rolling around therein and rearing to charge out.
This was the ancient cave they had previously found. They had found scattered divine beast eggshells here but were later swallowed by flying beasts. Additionally, someone had heard sounds of scriptures being recited here.
Chu Feng began to observe carefully after arriving here.
"It's here," someone spoke.
Apart from Li Canghe, there were also a number of people who had come along in order to probe this mysterious cave.
"What a good place! As expected of a heaven-chosen land. It is accumulating the spirit of all the mountains and rivers within 5000 kilometers to form a momentum akin to a true dragon soaring to the heavens." Chu Feng sighed in admiration. He immediately discovered the draconic qi after arriving here. This cave seemed like a dragon lair.
Chu Feng entered the cave while the others followed cautiously. Although it was quite dark inside, it wasn't very gloomy. On the contrary, it felt quite divine and was even suffused with energy.
"Ah, there are domains. It's not so simple," said Chu Feng.
He began to knock around this place while taking measures of the geography within the cave. It was quite spacious inside and warranted a slow observation.
Finally, Chu Feng moved a rock from the ground within the cave and buried several pieces of magnetic crystals with runes carved on them. Following which, he had Li Canghe and the rest dig up the soil.
"Quick, I've only temporarily disabled the domain here by immobilizing the magnetic bodies buried in the ground. You need to search quickly," Chu Feng urged.
Finally, Li Canghe and the others worked according to Chu Feng's advice and began to dig out the soil and stones. They found a number of prismatic and spiritual gems at certain places.
"Good stuff. It can be considered spiritual jade." Chu Feng tossed it into this Pristine Jade Bottle after observation.
"Eh?!"
It was at this time that everyone felt something different. The geography had changed.
Lin Naoi was also here. She had followed them inside instead of watching the battle. Now after seeing Chu Feng calmly breaking through the domains, her emotions were stirred.
With loud rumbles, the scenery within the cave began to change and was soon completely different.
There were no more mountainsides and this was no longer a cave. Instead, an ancient land appeared before their eyes. It was like a battlefield—there were bones and corpses strewn across the ground. It also seemed like a collapsed monastery with collapsed mountains and broken stones. Everything was dilapidated.
"Heavens! Could we really have arrived within the monastery of an ancient orthodoxy?" Even Li Canghe was shaken.
Mount Qinling was termed a heaven-chosen land and was also the dragon vein of ancient China.
In the past, it was incomparably glorious and housed many sects and schools. It was an extremely high holy land with immortal temples and an imperial court which looked down over the starry skies.
It could be said that orthodoxies stood in great numbers during that era, and as such, there should be countless inheritances on Mount Qinling.
Thus, it was quite reasonable to find a broken monastery after breaking through a domain.
It drew everyone's attention. If by any chance this was a remnant of an imperial court or a holy land of evolved beings, it would stir up great tidal waves.
"Can we go in?" Li Canghe asked.
"Allow me to ponder on it." Chu Feng stared forward and didn't dare to act recklessly. Even he himself was quite excited to see such ancient lands resurface.
After observing for quite some time, Chu Feng finally walked out of the cave with the others following behind.
"How is it?" someone asked.
"We can consider attempting once, but we'll need to make ample preparations," said Chu Feng.
At this time, the battle in the distance was quite intense. Hundreds of rounds had passed but the two were still evenly matched.
It was just that, at this point, whether it was a win or a loss, Zhao Chong felt that he no longer had the face to meet people. Having to fight a toad to such an extent, he was so humiliated that he wanted to cough up blood.
"Your toad is so powerful. It's much more powerful than your current strength. How did you subdue it?" Zhou Yun asked. It was apparently the princess who had asked her to do so.
"This is my personal charm. It immediately pledged its life to me during our first meeting," Chu Feng raised his head and said narcissistically.
The toad was absolutely bitter after hearing this. To hell with his personal charm. It was completely beaten into submission and forcefully suppressed. Otherwise, how could it be willing to follow Chu Feng?
"Let's not be too shameless," Zhou Yun said unceremoniously in apparent disbelief.
"I'll tell you the truth then. I saved that toad's life once, and thereafter, it kept following me all around in order to repay that debt." Chu Feng spouted more nonsense in a serious manner.
"Now, that's better." Zhou Yun nodded and then glanced at the toad, saying, "It knows gratefulness. It's indeed extraordinary."
The toad was nearly crying. It wanted to say grateful my ass! Why would it be grateful for being beaten every day? Was there any justice in this world?!
"Toad, didn't you say you're very strong? You've fought for over 800 rounds. Why haven't you taken him down yet?!" Chu Feng asked.
Everyone maintained a moment of silence in tribute to Zhao Chong. This was simply too insulting. The master had arrived to urge his toad mount to win the battle quickly.
The toad wanted to curse out loud. Wasn't it him who said it had to fight a thousand rounds before winning?
"Try hard and suppress him as soon as possible. We've found a ruin belonging to an ancient sect. Later on, I need you to help me in breaking the domains there." Chu Feng signaled towards the toad.
The toad's eyes lit up after hearing this. It knew Chu Feng was hinting for it to finish the battle here. They had to dredge up some things in the domain.
"Heavenly toad 853rd form: great roc spreads its wings!" After saying this, the toad slapped out with both its hands. It leapt through the air and pounced towards Zhao Chong for the kill.
Everyone had long since been dumbfounded. Was this still a toad art? Every divine beast had been included within its name.
After Zhao Chong evaded the blow, the toad turned around mid-air and shouted, "Heavenly toad art: the dragon has regrets!"
Bang!
It sent Zhao Chong into the air with a single slap, bleeding from his nose and mouth. After 800-odd rounds, the toad had emerged victorious while Zhao Chong was knocked unconscious on the ground.
Deathly silence ensued as everyone was petrified.
A toad had defeated a descender scion. It had defeated a true genius. It was absolutely ridiculous.
"Let's go. Let's go find some secret volumes in the ancient sect." Chu Feng summoned the toad and headed towards the cave.
A large group of people followed them. Even Princess Lin had pushed rapidly towards the front to walk together with Chu Feng.
That was because ancient sects on Mount Qinling were unbelievably powerful. Finding one could perhaps help them become the legends themselves.
