Chapter 119 The Old Beast King Summons Me!
Orc Tavern
The five members of the Mark Squad sat together, facing a crucial decision that would significantly impact their settlement rewards.

"Boss, should we listen to him?"

"Let's not do it. I have a feeling that changing sides is a bit inappropriate, and judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to particularly need us. The benefits are unclear."

"What are you saying? It's as if we've gained a lot from the Orcs. The Beast King is a greedy devil who swallowed up all the war profits. There's practically nothing left in the Military Merit Shop."

Just as everyone was arguing, the team's support spoke up. She coughed twice and said, "Well, if we're talking about benefits, then we definitely need to look at the final impact on the battle, which side we can contribute more to, and what our final win rate is."

"One against three on the Beast God Continent? What a joke!"

"and many more!"

As everyone argued, Kehen slowly raised his hand, his gaze fixed on them, and asked, "If the Beast God Continent is really weak, then why wasn't it destroyed?"

"There's no need for that. Didn't that guy already say that during the last battle on the Beast God Continent, they killed over 99% of the orcs? The remaining orcs are too few to cause any trouble, so there was no need for them."

"wrong!"

Suddenly, the engraved mark roared, staring intently at the assassin who had spoken, and said, "In this kind of racial war between different continents, if there is an opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy race, they will never let it go easily."

"Decades ago, the old Beast King participated in that battle, along with many other chieftains and warriors from various orc tribes."

"During this time, I learned some secrets from one of the old chiefs."

"The orcs are a warlike race. The core of their warlike nature lies in the fact that their instincts are imprinted in their genes with the instinct to fight and become stronger. If war cannot kill the orcs, it will make them even stronger."

"At the end of that battle, although the vast majority of ordinary orcs had perished, the remaining orcs experienced a qualitative breakthrough in strength. The old orc king reached the peak of the Overlord realm, capable of easily killing other Overlords of the same level. The other orcs also reached the King realm, their combat power increasing by leaps and bounds—by thousands of Kings! Thousands!"

"The people of the other three continents no longer dare to continue fighting. They are afraid that if they continue to reduce the number of beastmen, a large number of overlord-level powerhouses will be born in their races. They simply do not dare to fight to the death with the Beast God Continent."

"A myth has always circulated on the Beast God Continent that when the number of orcs was reduced to a certain extent, a true Beast God would be born."

One day later, the Black Tooth Tribe

Ye Mingqiu sat on the newest throne, the majestic throne adorned with the skulls of [King-level] powerhouses—the skulls of Sades, Akash Dale, and other orc heroes—symbols of war and glory.

Before the throne, the members of the Marked Squad brought him new intelligence, a crucial piece of information: the powerful figures from the other three continents would soon launch a war against the Beast God Continent.

"Dry bones".

Ye Mingqiu turned his gaze to the skeleton sacrifice.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

The skeleton stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and continued solemnly, "According to history, whenever the beast tribes gradually multiplied and prospered, there was indeed a certain probability that the strong from other continents would launch an attack on the Beast God Continent."

"However, the current timeline is much earlier than before. Judging from the gears of history, it should have taken at least another twenty years to begin. I believe that the king's power is too great, which has led to the war starting earlier than expected."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded slightly.

He wasn't a local beastman at all; he was an outsider psionicist who was just a little bit stronger. He accidentally broke the balance, which led to his current situation.

[Hint: The Scarred Squad has provided you with crucial war intelligence. Would you like to offer a reward?]

Please customize the reward.

Each person receives 1000 psionic points. The silver-level equipment in the storage space is turned into a selection chest, giving each person one chance to choose.

[Customization complete. Confirm/Reject?]

【Task rewards have been issued】

Soon, smiles filled the faces of the members of the Marked Squad below the stage. 1000 psionic points plus a silver-grade equipment selection chest was a pretty good reward for them.

The information confirmed by the spirit world cannot be wrong, which means that what they said is true. There will indeed be a large-scale battle next. Ye Mingqiu must offer sufficient rewards to the Mark Squad who insist on choosing loyalty.

After all, these psionicists are not loyal to the Beast King, but to their own interests. If he doesn't reward them under these circumstances, he's just creating trouble for himself.

"This is the reward for loyalty and value."

"Thank you for the King's grace."

“Go and bring me more valuable intelligence, and I will reward you even more,” Ye Mingqiu said.

"Yes!"

The Marks Squad accepts a new mission and leaves Dazhai.

However, not long after they left, an orc warrior rushed into the stronghold and knelt before Ye Mingqiu, saying, "Your Majesty, the King of Beasts, Kachi Astor, has sent an envoy to you."

"Come forward to greet us."

"Yes!"

Soon after, a burly, towering orc entered the hall. He looked at the giant orc on the throne, who was over four meters tall and even taller than himself. His eyes trembled slightly. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Bloodthirsty Tyrant, as a member of the same race, I pay my respects to you."

Communication among the orcs is simple, unlike the complexities of human communication. The old orc king's envoy simply admired Ye Mingqiu for becoming an orc king despite his giant orc status, and thus did this.

Such behavior would be disgraceful to the human race, but among the orcs, they would only think you are very pure and quite impressive.

"Ah."

The giant orc envoy stood up and said, "The King of Beasts invites you to his territory to discuss the future of the orc race. A great storm will soon sweep across this continent, and no one will be spared."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

Before the Beast King's Palace
Guided by the giant orc, Ye Mingqiu arrived at the palace that belonged exclusively to the old beast king. Looking at the magnificent and grand hall from afar, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. If I also had a hall that belonged exclusively to me, that would be quite nice.

"Lord Bloodthirsty Tyrant, the Beast King is already waiting for your arrival in the palace."

The giant orc stopped at the entrance of the palace and spoke.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu entered the main hall

The aura within the hall grew even stronger, with totem poles engraved with the names of powerful members of various beast races surrounding it. These pillars supported the hall, much like the various beast races themselves supported the beast race. As he entered the Beast King's Hall, the totem poles belonging to the giant beastmen gradually lit up. Golden light burst forth from the pupils of the giant beastman totems, shooting into Ye Mingqiu's body under his gaze, transforming into a pure, warm current of power that flowed into his limbs and bones.

[Hint: You have received the blessing of the Orc Totem - Giant Orc, increasing your base physical potential by 1]

It can even increase basic physical potential!

This totem pole is truly remarkable!
It's important to understand that for psionicists, basic physical potential is an extremely important attribute, and it's incredibly difficult to acquire. Aside from leveling up and learning basic passive skills, there's practically no other way to improve basic physical attributes.

This level of physical potential is a significant improvement, not only for Ye Mingqiu at level 2, but also for Tang Ruobing at level 8.

awesome!
Ye Mingqiu continued forward, his gaze following the main hall to the highest point, where he saw the most powerful beast king sitting in the highest seat.

King of Beasts - Kachi Astor

There were many orc warriors kneeling before the old beast king, many of whom were very old, with graying temples and thin bodies. But without a doubt, they were all king-level warriors, and many of them were even at the peak of the king level.

He walked forward step by step, advancing under the gaze of those kings and the old beast king. A tangible pressure weighed on him. These gazes were not malicious, but they all contained deep expectations.

"King of Beasts, I have arrived."

Ye Mingqiu looked directly at the old beast king and responded.

In the world of beastmen, the strong are respected, and weaker beastmen must address stronger beastmen with respect. However, Ye Mingqiu is a beast king, a beast king just like the old beast king, so he does not need to use respectful terms when he meets the old beast king.

The old beast king did not blame him for this. He simply nodded slightly and said, "The new king of the beast race, let me take a good look at you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old beast king released a powerful spiritual aura that enveloped Ye Mingqiu. The Eye of Omargon was about to reach the old beast king and devour him, and also return the favor with an instant-death judgment. However, Ye Mingqiu stopped him and indicated that there was no need to stop him.

【Eye of Omargon】Closed its eyes and stopped trying to stop it. This is the intelligence of a top-tier piece of equipment. If it were ordinary equipment, then resisting spying would be resisting, and instant death would be instant death, with no room for negotiation or delay.

The old beast king also sensed the extraordinary nature of Ye Mingqiu's ring. He smiled but didn't say anything more.

The next moment, Ye Mingqiu also stared straight at the old beast king, activating his detection technique without any concealment.

The old beast king sat there with an air of superiority, allowing him to observe with his detection spell without any hindrance. This was the pure nature of communication among the beastmen. As fellow beast kings, it was perfectly normal for them to assess each other's strength.

[King of Beasts - Kaki Astor (Level 5 Overlord)]

【Life: 9500】

[Race: Orc]

[Attributes: Strength: 160, Agility: 154, Constitution: 160, Spirit: 144]

【ability:???】

powerful! too strong!
He's practically a monster!

With a strength and constitution of 160, an agility of a terrifying 154, and even the weakest and least favored attribute of the orcs—spirit—he has 144 points. Is this the level 5 overlord of the orcs? His strength is truly terrifying!

The fact that Ye Mingqiu's abilities were undetectable was not because the old beast king was deliberately hiding them from him, but because Ye Mingqiu's mental attributes were too low. Even if the old beast king sat down and allowed him to detect him, he would still be unable to detect him. This was an absolute difference in attributes.

Compared to Ye Mingqiu's shock, the old beast king began to frown, because he felt that Ye Mingqiu's attributes were a bit too low, which did not match the image of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant that he had heard on the battlefield.

So he asked, "This isn't your true self, is it? Your true self is the one you show on the battlefield."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded slightly.

The old Beast King wasn't wrong. The only limitation of the Tyrant Form was fighting spirit. As long as his fighting spirit was sufficient, he could enter directly.

[Tyrant Form] There are no time limits, no power limits, no weakness limits. There are no restrictions at all. You can use it for as long as you want. What's the difference between this and the true form that is gradually unlocked through battle?
"I see."

The old beast king roughly understood that Ye Mingqiu's current size has reached 4 meters tall, and after entering the [Tyrant Form], his size will increase to an even larger 10 meters. A 10-meter-tall body would be quite troublesome in daily life, so it is normal for him to choose to suppress his power.

"Even so, your strength is still too weak, just like mine was back then."

The old beast king continued.

"."

Ye Mingqiu did not refute.

The old beast king was telling the truth. Compared to this level 5 overlord beast king, his strength was indeed very weak. He was only strong compared to those level 5 monarchs, but he was still too weak among the overlords.

He paused briefly, then said, "I want to become stronger, to become a stronger warrior."

"it is good!"

The old beast king instantly smiled, then burst into laughter. He stood up, donned his armor, and walked step by step down the stage to Ye Mingqiu, saying, "Come with me to that open space over there. I'll teach you how a beast king should fight."

[Hint: King of Beasts - Kaki Astor has offered you guidance]

Guidance approved by the spirit world?

It seems the old Beast King is very sincere. As expected of the king of the beast race, he is not stingy in imparting his power. He even hopes that the beast race will have more strong individuals.

Pure! The purity is too high!
I respect you, King of Beasts!

"I will respectfully follow your guidance, senior."

Ye Mingqiu lowered his head sincerely, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed earnestly as he spoke.

Outside the Beast King's Palace
In a vast open space, Ye Mingqiu and the old Beast King stood, while many other beast kings quietly observed, hoping to learn stronger combat techniques from the Beast King. The old Beast King, however, made no attempt to hide his observations.

He looked at Ye Mingqiu from afar and said, "Do you intend to continue fighting in this manner?"

"The condition for lifting the restrictions is fighting spirit. With enough fighting spirit, I can return to my original state," Ye Mingqiu replied crisply.

"The will to fight?"

The old Beast King roughly understood that battle spirit was a significant limitation for humans and elves, but it didn't matter for orcs. Once they entered combat, orcs' battle spirit was basically maxed out.

Using fighting spirit as a limit to develop abilities allows for greater control over body size, preventing excessive size from affecting daily life. This is a very wise choice.

"Then let's fight!"

The old beast king said with a smile.
