After ending the communication with Kong, Xiao Yun was somewhat speechless. Kong's first battle had also ended in failure. The key was that he had not been defeated by a stronger True Beast King, but by one even more shamelessly cowardly than himself. Kong was surely feeling utterly stifled right now.
Moon's failure had been due to inferior strength. There was nothing to be unconvinced about.
But Kong's situation was far too frustrating. Who would have thought that True Beast Kings could be so cowardly too?
Before even fighting, you called for reinforcements? You're not a True Beast King—you're a True Beast baby.
"Looks like these True Beast Kings are quite cautious too. I need to be careful." Xiao Yun was glad that he had lagged a step behind Moon and Kong, allowing him to learn from the lessons of their failures.
Still, Kong's failure left Xiao Yun deeply moved.
Kong's self-created fifth-rank Eternal ultimate art was among the best of its rank. Even he had failed, which showed just how difficult it truly was to kill a True Beast King with only a fifth-rank Eternal ultimate art.
No wonder the Eternal Nation had produced only twenty-two city lord-level powerhouses so far.
For people like Kong and Moon, all they could do now was accumulate over time.
Either create a sixth-rank Eternal ultimate art, or create several more fifth-rank Eternal ultimate arts. Ideally, they needed one Eternal ultimate art specifically for trapping enemies, along with a fifth-rank Eternal ultimate art with particularly formidable killing power.
But even then, they would have to wait for a good opportunity.
What kind of good opportunity?
One where the place you fought the True Beast King was extremely remote, so that even if it called for aid, its reinforcements would not arrive in time.
