Chapter 1521: 1521 **Chapter 1521: I Just Want to Beat You Up, No Reason Needed** Wang Zhongjiu saw the rope in Chu Xiong’s hand and felt a sense of foreboding. He realized that things might go badly. A small God Sovereign’s soul is very strong, and their sixth sense is very sharp. They often have a premonition about things that are about to happen and are unfavorable to them. But it was too late. The rope in Chu Xiong’s hand instantly grew larger and thicker, then flew over like a python, binding Wang Zhongjiu. Wang Zhongjiu frowned slightly, wondering what it meant to be tied up with a rope. His laws and strength were not affected at all. As long as he didn’t move, Chu Xiong couldn’t do anything to him. But in the next second, something happened that made him panic. The other end of the rope was actually connected to Chu Xiong, wrapped around his arm several times. In an instant, Wang Zhongjiu felt an unclear connection between himself and Chu Xiong, as if they had become one and could not be separated. Wang Zhongjiu gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Bear, what are you trying to do!" Chu Xiong laughed, "You’ll find out soon enough!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiong suddenly flew up, his whole body bursting with power, shooting straight into the sky like an arrow. Wang Zhongjiu’s whole body jerked, and an irresistible force directly pulled him off the ground. As soon as he left the ground, the earth law was interrupted, and his defensive power greatly weakened. Wang Zhongjiu struggled desperately. His hands and feet were not restricted and could move freely. But he couldn’t get too far from Chu Xiong, the two of them were less than a meter apart. This was the effect of the Heart-Linking Rope, which made it impossible for the two to separate. If he were a small God Sovereign now, he could easily break free from the Heart-Linking Rope. But now he was only at the first rank of the God King realm, and the Heart-Linking Rope could bind him for a full two minutes. "Old turtle, get ready to be beaten up!" Chu Xiong’s voice rang in his ears, followed by a fist the size of a sandbag landing on his head. With a bang, Chu Xiong’s heavy punch left Wang Zhongjiu a bit dazed. Leaving the ground and losing the protection of the earth law, Wang Zhongjiu’s defensive power greatly decreased and could no longer fully block Chu Xiong’s heavy punches. But this was just the beginning. Countless battle knives followed. Chu Xiong dragged Wang Zhongjiu into the whirlwind formed by the battle knives. The battle knives formed by the laws fell densely on Wang Zhongjiu, continuously shattering his defenses. Wang Zhongjiu roared repeatedly, his body covered in layers of ice, but they were quickly shattered by the battle knives. He fought back with all his might, but his attacks were not very effective and were all blocked by Chu Xiong’s battle knives. Chu Xiong’s iron fists were like the wind, and the battle knives were like rain, beating Wang Zhongjiu until he screamed in pain. In just over twenty seconds, with a loud bang, all the ice shattered, and Wang Zhongjiu’s defenses collapsed. Chu Xiong let out a mad laugh, "Next, I’m going to beat you up hard!" "These hundred punches are for you being so arrogant usually!" Amid Wang Zhongjiu’s continuous screams, Chu Xiong rained down over a hundred punches, accompanied by his wild laughter. "These hundred punches are for you competing with me for Xiao Ling!" Another hundred punches, beating Wang Zhongjiu until his skin was torn and his flesh was lacerated. "These hundred punches are for you taking my mission reward!" Another hundred punches, and Wang Zhongjiu screamed, "When did I take your mission reward!" Chu Xiong shouted, "If you hadn’t thickened your face and squeezed in, would that mission have included you?" Wang Zhongjiu replied, "But I also contributed to the mission!" "I don’t care!" Chu Xiong roared, delivering dozens more punches. Wang Zhongjiu was unconvinced and continued to shout, "Then what’s the reason now!" "These few hundred punches are because I just want to beat you up, no reason needed!" Chu Xiong began to be unreasonable. His fists, accompanied by knives, became more and more frenzied. In just one minute, Wang Zhongjiu’s entire body was covered in wounds, looking as miserable as could be. Chu Xiong grabbed Wang Zhongjiu, "Admit defeat, or I’ll keep beating you!" Wang Zhongjiu’s eyes opened from the blood, and the past minute was the most torturous experience he had ever had. He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be injured and he couldn’t make a sound. Seeing this, Chu Xiong said, "You won’t admit defeat, huh? Then keep getting beaten!" With a flurry of punches, Wang Zhongjiu felt wronged. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to admit defeat, but he couldn’t make a sound. Chu Xiong was clearly doing it on purpose, deliberately injuring his throat and then finding an excuse to beat him up. Wang Zhongjiu’s injuries looked severe, but they were all superficial. For a God King, such superficial injuries were nothing. Even if his arms and legs were broken, they could regenerate. The key was that it hurt! It really hurt! Those punches and knives were no different from being flayed alive. Wang Zhongjiu couldn’t take it anymore. He really wanted to admit defeat, but he couldn’t make a sound. Finally, he had a bright idea and used his soul to communicate with the Human Emperor Network, shouting: I admit defeat! The formation on the arena activated, and a vast force separated the two. Chu Xiong received the notification of his victory, and the two disappeared from the arena. Everyone watching the battle held their breath. It wasn’t that the process was particularly exciting, but Chu Xiong was too brutal. A fellow small God Sovereign, Wang Zhongjiu, was beaten so miserably. Chu Xiong instantly became a brutal figure in many people’s minds. However, Chu Xiong was in an exceptionally good mood, with a satisfied smile on his face, drinking large gulps of wine. "It was so satisfying. I’ve wanted to beat that guy up for years." "Finally got the chance this time. Lin Moyu, your Heart-Linking Rope is really useful." Chu Xiong raised his wine glass to Lin Moyu on the rooftop. Lin Moyu was watching Zhuang Bi’s battle, seeing Zhuang Bi steadily gaining the upper hand, suppressing his opponent without any resistance. Lin Moyu knew Zhuang Bi was sure to win. Looking at the other battles, Dongfang Ze, Qing Fei, and Wei Bowen, the top-ranked seed players, had no problems. Lin Moyu retracted his gaze and flew down from the rooftop, "Senior Brother Chu still showed mercy." Chu Xiong said, "We’re all from the same clan. Although I dislike that guy, I wouldn’t go so far as to kill him." "Come, drink! Today I’m in a great mood, let’s drink until we’re drunk!" Lin Moyu nodded and drank with Chu Xiong. Wang Zhongjiu’s injuries were all superficial and would heal in half a day, not affecting the subsequent round-robin tournament. After the top 16 were decided today, the next step was the round-robin tournament. No one knew what format the round-robin tournament would take. The Human Emperor Network used different formats each time, making it impossible to predict. There had been individual round-robins, team round-robins, and even chaotic battles. The Human Emperor Network seemed to adjust the format based on the strength of the contestants each time. The specific rules would only be announced just before the round-robin tournament began. Moments later, Zhuang Bi also returned from the arena. Zhuang Bi’s victory was unsurprising, and the entire process was steady and methodical. Chu Xiong shouted, "Old Zhuang, come drink with me. Today is really satisfying!" Zhuang Bi chuckled, "Got your revenge?" "Yes, I did, all of it!" He drank large gulps of wine and soon became drunk. It’s hard for a God King to get drunk. Ordinary wine won’t do, only wine that can intoxicate the soul can make a God King drunk. But today was different. Chu Xiong wanted to get drunk, so any wine would do. Zhuang Bi sighed, "I hope he can really let go after this." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 Lin Moyu smiled, "It seems there’s a story to be told. Senior Brother Zhuang, would you like to share?" Zhuang Bi laughed, "It’s actually nothing much..."
