403: Awakening

Of course, only Zhong thought this way; Gu Kai truly couldn't hold back and muttered softly, "Is there a possibility that Lord Tiger King isn't digging a pit, but is diligently cultivating to become stronger?"

"Although ordinary Cosmic Beasts cannot surpass Planetary-level and reach Star-level in just over a decade."

"But Lord Tiger King is clearly different; he is our God, omnipotent."

"At a minimum, he possesses at least Star-level strength."

"After all, ordinary Planet Level 9 powerhouses simply cannot make us feel such immense pressure."

"Only a strength that exceeds ours by at least one major level would make us unable to even think of resisting."

"How could a Cosmic Beast of such strength dig a pit? He should at least be a dashing Cosmic Mercenary."

"Living a life of wandering, constantly facing danger."

"That is the romance a true man should have."

Zhong glared at Gu Kai, annoyed, and said, "Lord Tiger King is a tiger, a beast. What the hell is the romance a true man should have?"

"I say Lord Tiger King must have found a beautiful planet and is currently breeding offspring."

"Tiger cubs and grand-cubs are the future. As long as he breeds endless offspring, a powerful Cosmic Beast will eventually be born within the clan, a Cosmic Beast capable of leading the Siberian Tiger to prosperity."

Legisamon: ...???

Zhong was, after all, a wild beast. Although he could communicate with the two without hindrance, his way of thinking was still somewhat different from humans.

At least Legisamon and Gu Kai could never have such peculiar thought processes.

The most important thing was that Zhong's voice was loud; any casual remark could be heard for several miles.

Although this was the Tiger King Farm, Lord Tiger King's base camp, if Zhong continued to speak like that, would Lord Tiger King's reputation be maintained or not?

Whether it was digging a pit or diligently breeding offspring, both seemed to tarnish Lord Tiger King's prestige.

Thinking this, Legisamon felt he had GET a glorious mission, which was to stop Zhong, this bigmouth, from blabbering. He immediately spoke:

"Lord Tiger King is not an existence we can criticize. Presumptuously speculating about a true god, be careful Lord Tiger King gets angry and revokes your trial qualification."

"Work hard. Barring any accidents, we should undergo the trial together."

"You stupid bear, don't drag us down."

"Revoke my trial qualification?" Zhong subconsciously covered his mouth. He, who feared nothing, could only concede in front of Lin Tianwei and muttered softly,

"They can't revoke my trial qualification. I've been working hard; it wasn't easy to earn this honor."

"It's not simple at all to defeat you cunning and shameless humans."

"If I get disqualified for making a mistake, I'll definitely be ostracized by my entire clan when I go home."

"The glory of the fierce beasts still needs me to protect."

"As for dragging us down? You two shouldn't drag *me* down."

"If it weren't for your love of schemes and tricks, this bear would be the strongest among us."

"No, I can't waste time here. I must continue to work hard and become stronger."

"In case I really encounter danger, this bear can at least save you who are not strong enough."

Thinking this, Zhong increasingly felt that wasting time here was wasting life.

He got down on all fours and immediately began to run quickly. He had to rush back to his bear den, back to work hard and become stronger!

...The two humans and one beast left, leaving only Ismail in the Tiger King Temple.

Although the three humans and one beast had gone to the Tiger King Temple together and were summoned by Lin Tianwei together.

However, combat professions and research professions naturally disliked each other, so it was perfectly normal for them to keep a clear distinction.

At this moment, Ismail was completely lost in thought, overwhelmed by the endless knowledge brought by the terminal.

Once upon a time, Ismail always thought she was exceptionally knowledgeable and supremely capable.

In combat, she might be of average ability, but in scientific research, she was definitely a top-tier genius.

Facts also proved that this was not Ismail's illusion; she was a truly capable person.

Just after coming into contact with the Law Arena, she, with her brilliant Talent, designed a large number of body templates, each very strong, body templates recognized by all Blue Star creatures.

She even leaped to become the strongest body template designer in the Law Arena, without equal.

However, just when she thought her Talent would be recognized by Lin Tianwei, Lin Tianwei only gave a 'commendable' evaluation.

Her proud works seemed as simple as child's play in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

They had the form but lacked the essence, unable to give birth to excellent Talent templates.

Of course, this was not entirely Ismail's fault; her ability to achieve this much by herself was already excellent.

It just didn't meet Lin Tianwei's requirements. Lin Tianwei needed an even more excellent body template designer, an excellent body template designer who could earn him a large number of points in the Law Arena.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Tianwei did not hesitate to guide Ismail and provided her with an invaluable terminal.

All her indignation vanished when Ismail came into contact with the cosmic knowledge contained in the terminal.

Only after experiencing a wider world can one more truly realize their own short-sightedness.

One powerful Cosmic Beast after another flashed before Ismail's eyes, their naturally perfect bodies, like masterpieces of a creator, leaving a deep impression on her.

Completely different from the feelings of the two humans and one beast, when perceiving the phantom of the Cosmic Beast, Ismail would not be intimidated by their power.

She would only be inspired by their power to pursue knowledge.

She wanted to know why these Cosmic Beasts were so strong, she wanted to know the reasons for their strength, she wanted to know everything about these Cosmic Beasts.

Learn from strengths, fill in gaps, inspire ideas!

Countless thoughts, countless ideas for creating powerful Cosmic Beasts, instantly flashed through Ismail's mind, making her eager to implement them.

However, in the end, Ismail still stopped her impractical thoughts.

Without knowing the reasons why, rashly taking action would only result in a superficial shell that could not possibly possess the powerful strength of these Cosmic Beasts.

Although Lord Tiger King's separate task for her did not explicitly state its purpose, the intelligent Ismail already had an idea.

The importance of this task was self-evident, even capable of helping Lord Tiger King to some extent.

That was the esteemed Lord Tiger King; she could actually help him with her meager strength?

It should be known that Lin Tianwei's evaluation of Blue Star's strongest combatants at the time, such as Legisamon, was that he simply didn't need their weak strength.

If she could help Lord Tiger King, wouldn't that mean she was more valuable than the two humans and one beast?

As soon as she thought of this possibility, Ismail's eyes sparkled, and her whole body trembled, feeling as if her entire being had been sublimated.

It was a sense of satisfaction from being recognized, a sense of satisfaction from being recognized by a highly desired goal.

In fact, Ismail's attitude towards Lin Tianwei was not like this from the beginning; it had undergone countless changes before finally evolving into the present boundless reverence.

From initial disdain, to attention, to shock, to admiration, to reverence... this change was not spontaneous but gradually brought about by Lin Tianwei's powerful strength and noble tiger-like charm, little by little, in Ismail.

This phenomenon was not an isolated case but an extremely common one, something that was genuinely happening to every Blue Star creature.

This was also why the faith of Blue Star creatures was so firm.

Lin Tianwei was worthy!

Recalling her scattered thoughts, Ismail racked her brains to find a way to solve the current predicament.

Finally, after refining countless pieces of cosmic knowledge, she came to an answer—Law. She should try to comprehend Law.

A thought instantly flashed through Ismail's mind:

Talent was the fundamental reason why these Cosmic Beasts were so powerful; their seemingly strong bodies were merely the foundation they used to bear powerful Talents.

No matter how strong the foundation, without corresponding powerful Talents, it was completely useless.

Without understanding the logic of Talent formation, she naturally couldn't bestow Talent upon body templates.

To bestow Talent upon body templates, she must possess a sufficiently deep comprehension of Law.

Ismail instantly understood. While absorbing the cosmic knowledge brought by the terminal, she also began to comprehend the Law Book provided by the Law Arena.

Although these Law Books were all imitations, they had a strong enlightening effect on Ismail.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's improvements to the Law Arena, they would definitely become the strongest aid on Ismail's design path.

However, just as Ismail tried to use the Law Book (spiritually), she was instantly shocked, an incredible look appearing in her eyes.

This, this, this Law Book's effect seemed to be like a cheat, suddenly becoming so powerful?

Ismail had used the Law Book before, but because its effect was too poor and its price incredibly expensive, she eventually chose to give up.

As a researcher with not much combat power, it was extremely difficult for Ismail to earn points through the Arena.

Therefore, every single point was precious to her.

Moreover, the points obtained from selling body templates were subject to a 99% commission from the Law Arena, which meant that the so-called chief body template designer was actually extremely poor.

In this situation, Ismail naturally could only give up using the Law Book and dedicated herself entirely to the design of body templates.

This also aligned with her original role as a researcher.

However, after acquiring the terminal and cosmic knowledge, Ismail deeply realized the limitations of her previous approach.

Truly excellent body template designers must also possess extraordinary comprehension of Law.

Only in this way could she design truly powerful Talent templates, instead of the superficial ones she had now.

Inspired by Lin Tianwei,

Ismail, countless years ahead of her time, realized the importance of comprehending Law,

And began to comprehend Law, leading countless Cosmic Beasts.

She only hoped that Ismail could produce a work that satisfied Lin Tianwei, so that Lin Tianwei's efforts would not be in vain... In the Law Arena, in the waiting room.

The moment he successfully matched with an opponent, Lin Tianwei had already returned to the Law Arena.

Participating in the Arena and acquiring points was what he urgently needed to do.

Especially as opponents grew stronger day by day and it became more difficult to achieve high Arena scores, Lin Tianwei had to work harder and harder.

"Ding, congratulations on successfully forcing a match. Your opponent is Torville."

"Name: Torville.

Ranking: 785.

Evaluation: Top-tier (Enjoy 100% challenge point bonus upon victory)."

"Please confirm whether to enter the Arena."

"Ding, you have confirmed entry into the Arena. Please wait patiently for your opponent's selection."

Without wasting time searching for information about Torville, he directly chose to confirm entry into the Arena.

Information could be true or false; if he truly believed those unsubstantiated reports on the forums, Lin Tianwei would definitely suffer a terrible loss.

"Ding, the opponent has confirmed entry into the Arena. Please wait patiently for the Arena to begin."

"Ding, the Arena has begun. The venue for this Arena is: Chaotic Domain."

With the improvement of his evaluation, Lin Tianwei's authority in the Law Arena also increased significantly. At least he could know the terrain of the upcoming Arena before it officially began.

However, the significance of this authority was not great, because the terrain was already determined, and knowing it a little in advance was completely useless.

Moreover, terrains varied greatly, and there might even be customized terrains. Everything still had to be based on the results of his own exploration.

With a flash of the screen, Lin Tianwei arrived directly at this place called the Chaotic Domain.

Unexpectedly, this terrain called the Chaotic Domain looked just like ordinary space, with no difference whatsoever.

Since Cosmic Beasts participating in the Arena would be restricted in movement during the waiting time, Lin Tianwei couldn't carefully explore the secrets of the Chaotic Domain, and could only size up his opponent, this Cosmic Beast named Torville.

Torville looked similar to a human, with two arms, two legs, and one head.

Perhaps the only difference was that Torville's arms and legs only had three digits, and he also had long Claws, which looked very powerful in attack.

Without skin covering, dark blue muscles bulged, appearing more ferocious compared to humans.

At this moment, Torville was baring his fangs, staring intently at Lin Tianwei with a pair of blood-red eyes, seemingly ready to rush forward and tear Lin Tianwei to shreds at any moment.

The countdown for the impending end of the waiting time was Torville's call to attack.

Even without directly feeling Torville's aura, just looking at him made Lin Tianwei feel Torville's ferocity.

Undoubtedly, Torville was an extremely brutal Cosmic Beast; this battle-hardened aura could not be faked.

In the real universe, Torville was also definitely an extremely brutal Cosmic Beast.

The upcoming Arena might unfold in a completely different way than before. (End of chapter)
