68: Chapter 68 Below the level, a single glance is enough! An undeserved calamity!

The person in charge of the Beast Arena wore a professional, business-like expression.

He was naturally well-informed about the information regarding this newly appointed Supervisor Lu, Lu Qingyun.

Thus, his previous statement was purely out of obligation.

In reality, he didn't believe for a second that Lu Qingyun had come here this time for a Innate Realm beast.

Someone who became a supervisor through connections, who hadn't even reached the Innate Realm.

How could he possibly have the strength to control a Innate Realm beast?

He was merely here to experience the pressure of Innate Realm beasts.

That was reasonable enough.

He was used to such prodigies who liked to temper themselves in this manner.

"I understand."

Lu Qingyun strode forward, not wasting time in the areas for Mortal Shedding Realm and Aperture Opening Realm beasts.

Instead, he headed straight for the deepest part of the Beast Arena.

This was also where the protective facilities were most complete, with every beast kept in an individual room.

On normal days, they would be injected with corresponding drugs to suppress their instinct to kill.

"Supervisor Lu, just looking from the outside is enough."

"This batch of Innate Realm beasts has been here for quite some time, and they have developed a certain resistance to the sedatives in their bodies. It would be dangerous to observe them up close."

The person in charge spoke up.

He followed Lu Qingyun closely, afraid that this young man, who knew no fear, would open a door without authorization.

After all, even though he himself was a Xiantian Martial Artist.

His combat power was not strong; he was merely at the early stage of the Innate Realm.

If he had to face a true Innate Realm beast, just saving his own life would be a problem, let alone anyone else's.

"It's fine, you can retreat to a safe place."

"I'll test their mettle."

Lu Qingyun's voice was very serious as he scanned this area.

Over seventy Innate Realm beasts!

These were the most precious assets that the Burning Bone Beast Arena had accumulated over the years!

If nothing else, if these beasts were to break free at the same time, it would be a significant catastrophe for the entire Ningan City!

"You cannot!"

"Supervisor Lu, Innate Realm beasts are not like Aperture Opening Realm beasts. Unless one is an expert within the Innate Realm, it is impossible to deal with them!"

"The four great experts currently guarding the Beast Arena are all in other zones. If an accident occurs, they won't be able to provide reinforcements!"

"If something really happens, we're all done for!"

The person in charge of the Beast Arena hadn't expected Lu Qingyun to be so daring.

His words terrified him, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

He even steeled his heart, intending to forcibly drag Lu Qingyun away!

After all, if anything went wrong, he would not be able to escape responsibility!

"Supervisor Lu, let's leave first."

The person in charge grabbed Lu Qingyun's arm and pulled slightly backward, trying to lead him away.

However... he stumbled!

The person in charge almost tripped himself, simply because Lu Qingyun's body stood rooted to the spot, unmoving. He felt as if he were trying to drag a giant boulder!

And when the person in charge looked at Lu Qingyun, the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into endless terror!

The moment he met Lu Qingyun's gaze, what appeared in his eyes was like a god who had created a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, ascending to the highest throne amidst endless remains!

High and mighty, incomparably powerful!

Just a single glance made him completely unable to withstand the pressure within it!

He couldn't even summon the slightest thought of resistance!

"You go out, I'll handle things here myself."

Lu Qingyun's voice seemed to come from the heavens, instantly jolting the person in charge awake!

His footsteps seemed to be beyond his control as he dragged his body toward the outside.

Only after completely leaving that area did he, like a drowning person surfacing, take a deep, sharp breath. His cold sweat had long since soaked his clothes!

"What... exactly is his cultivation level!?"

The terror in the person in charge's eyes didn't dissipate for a long time, and a question emerged in his mind.

He no longer thought about whether those Innate Realm beasts would cause any trouble.

He only knew that if he had to face that gaze again, he would even dare to draw his blade against a Sky-Surpassing Level martial artist!

"This Hierarchical Severity is quite useful."

Seeing the person in charge instantly shut up and leave obediently.

Lu Qingyun didn't know how much psychological trauma his gaze had just left on the person in charge.

He had merely treated the person in charge as an enemy for that instant and activated the Hierarchical Severity mechanism.

"The description of this mechanism says one can't even summon the courage to draw a sword—could it be like this?"

Lu Qingyun shook his head.

Whatever!

As long as it works, that's all that matters!

Immediately, his gaze fell upon the first detention room.

Inside was a pitch-black panther with a massive physique, its fur marked with faint cyan wind patterns.

Its streamlined muscles were like carvings, its ears were pointed and long, its eyes were like cold stars, and it had two translucent wind-wing membranes on its back, with claw blades shimmering with silver-white Xiantian energy.

[Health Points: 6451/6451]

[Physical Strength: 107.2]

[Mental Strength: 28.7]

[Skills: Wind Blade Slash, Shadow Stealth]

...

After sensing Lu Qingyun's gaze, the Shadow Blade Panther glanced at Lu Qingyun.

But it quickly retracted its gaze.

The effect of the sedatives in its body was still ongoing, preventing it from feeling any bloodlust.

Moreover, as a Innate Realm beast, it possessed a certain level of intelligence.

It knew that it was currently locked inside, while the human in front of it was outside.

No matter how it tried, it would be impossible to harm him in the slightest.

Let him look.

It would just continue sleeping peacefully.

It was impossible that while it was sleeping soundly, this person would come in for no reason and give it a beating, right?

Clack, clack—!

The thick protective door slowly rose.

This final barrier that had separated the Shadow Blade Panther and Lu Qingyun was removed.

The next moment.

The Shadow Blade Panther's cold eyes, like frozen stars, instantly snapped open!

Its four paws propped up its massive beast body.

Like a small mountain, it was incredibly intimidating!

The size difference between Lu Qingyun and it was very obvious, but he did not retreat a single bit, still waiting calmly on the spot.

Swoosh—!

The Shadow Blade Panther moved!

A breeze blew lightly; from within a cluster of shadows, a pitch-black wind blade stabbed toward Lu Qingyun's neck!

And before anyone knew it, the Shadow Blade Panther had already arrived behind Lu Qingyun, opening its bloody maw to bite down on his head!

Bang—!!

Before anyone could even see the movement clearly, the Shadow Blade Panther was sent flying!

Its body smashed heavily against the wall made of special alloy!

Before it could even get back up.

Another heavy blow slammed into its forehead!

Immediately after, it was greeted by a baptism of punches like a violent storm!

Until finally, its breathing became abnormally weak, and it could no longer summon the slightest thought of resistance.

Clang—!!

The protective door fell once again!

After this sound rang out, for some reason, the Shadow Blade Panther felt a sense of relief in its heart.

Then, it completely passed out.

The moment before it fainted, a question it couldn't understand lingered in its mind... Why the hell did this person beat me?
