Chapter 262: Chapter 262

In the sky, Jin Ting said, "Will our youngest sister join the first match?"

The ’youngest sister’ they referred to was Jin Yao. As for Si Yan, they had not fully accepted her, so she was merely a sister in name.

Jin Qian, the Second Elder of the Jin Family, was seated. An old injury in his leg made it inconvenient for him to move.

But whenever Jin Yao was mentioned, his face would soften with a look of loving indulgence.

He said, "She probably won’t join. She’s skilled in the arts of the Witch Doctor and Priest, and the Wan Cheng Gathering only allows competing in two events. Joining the Sage’s contest wouldn’t be quite suitable for her. Our little sister is truly both a genius and outstanding."

Jin Qian then looked towards Si Yan.

This sister who had grown up in the countryside isn’t even willing to give up her qualification for the grand competition to her younger sister, how petty, he thought. A sister who didn’t grow up alongside us really is different.

Yet Jin Kun, the Third Elder, disagreed, "I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Although our youngest sister is very good at being a Witch Doctor, a Sage’s status in the Beast World is higher than that of a Witch Doctor. Maybe she plans to compete in the Sage’s contest. She’s also capable of making preserved food and tools."

After hearing this, both Jin Ting and Jin Qian nodded in agreement. Jin Ting said, "If our youngest sister wants to compete as a Sage, then we should think of ways to help her."

The Second Elder, Jin Qian, said, "I’ll have someone bring the heavy wood from our tribe."

The Third Elder, Jin Kun, asked, "What about the Sixth Sibling?"

Jin Qian looked toward Si Yan, his brow furrowing slightly. "The Sixth Sibling is our blood-related sister, after all. There’s no need to be too calculating between siblings. It doesn’t matter if she loses one match. Yao Yao is different; she’s adopted and more sensitive. Besides, whether we help our youngest sister or not, the Sixth Sibling won’t win anyway."

Jin Yao, after all, had been raised right beside them, cherished by her several brothers as she grew up. Naturally, their hearts inclined toward Jin Yao.

After thinking it over, Jin Kun said, "That’s right. The Sixth Sibling has Fifth Brother to support her. If our youngest sister doesn’t have our help, she’ll have nothing."

All around, the Beastmen began to discuss the matter.

Each event allowed three participants, and each person could only compete twice. This required careful planning for participant distribution.

On the Golden Dragon’s side, Jin Yao said, "I want to take part in the Sage’s contest."

Jin Yang disagreed, "Yao Yao, your greatest strengths are as a Witch Doctor and Priest. Why not choose what you’re best at?"

Jin Yao lowered her head slightly. "Fourth Brother, they all say I’m not as pretty as Si Yan."

Jin Yang knew Jin Yao had prepared for a long time to compete. She had even picked numerous flowers and spent a considerable time on her makeup. Unexpectedly, however, she was outshone by Si Yan, who appeared without any preparation, her face bare.

Their sixth sister, Si Yan, truly inherited their parents’ perfect features, Jin Yang thought. Even though she’s currently pregnant, her slightly bulging belly doesn’t detract from her beauty at all.

Jin Yang caressed Jin Yao’s hair, tenderly saying, "Yao Yao, in your Fourth Brother’s eyes, you’re the most beautiful and the most outstanding."

Jin Yao shook her head. "I want to compete in the Sage’s contest because a Sage has a higher status than a Witch Doctor. If I can win the Sage’s contest, then Father Beast and Mother Beast won’t despise me for not being their biological child, and they won’t kick me out of the house."

Her words were filled with such heartfelt sorrow that Jin Yang’s heart ached even more. "What are you thinking? Father Beast and Mother Beast love you so much, we all love you! How could we ever kick you out?"

Jin Yao looked disheartened and pitiful. "But I’m not their biological child. Fourth Brother, look at Fifth Brother; Fifth Brother doesn’t like me anymore."

Jin Yang said angrily, "Don’t listen to him... Alright, fine. If you want to compete in the Sage’s contest, then so be it. Our Yao Yao is so outstanding, terrific in every way. You’ll definitely crush everyone else!"

After speaking, Jin Yang looked over at Si Yan again.

He had also heard the discussions among the Beastmen in Myriad Beasts City; it seemed his sixth sister had made significant achievements as a Sage.

Even though I hope Jin Yao wins, I also don’t want my sixth sister to lose too badly,

Sensing a gaze, Si Yan turned her head and saw Jin Yang’s inexplicably pitying expression. She immediately found him quite idiotic.

She turned back to her companions and said, "I’m joining the first event. Who’s joining me?"

Tai Seng shouted, "Me, me!!!"

Tai Seng was very enthusiastic, and Si Yan gave him a smile.

The cold-blooded snake beastman said, "In this competition, each person only has two chances to participate, so we must use them wisely."

He took a stick and wrote the Beast World characters for "Sage," "Warrior," "Witch Doctor," and "Priest" in a horizontal row on the ground.

In a vertical column, he then wrote their names. Next to Si Yan’s name, he marked a triangle by "Sage" and "Priest."

Si Yan watched Wang’s actions, completely stunned.

In this world, no Beastman should know about statistics! Yet, a statistical table and method spontaneously formed in his mind! He... he’s very clever, she thought.

Si Yan watched as Wang continued.

In his own row, Wang marked a triangle next to "Warrior."

He said expressionlessly, "I will first mark the events each person is suited for."

Jin Tong immediately shouted, "I’m a Golden Crystal Beastman, the only one in our group! I must participate in the Warrior contest."

Wang agreed and marked a triangle next to Jin Tong’s name in the "Warrior" position.

Ming Yan and Tai Seng said simultaneously, "Me."

Wang looked at Ming Yan and Tai Seng, then marked a triangle next to Ming Yan’s name under "Warrior."

Tai Seng was silent for a moment.

It seems that in Wang’s eyes, I probably can’t beat Ming Yan... he thought, a bit dejected, but he still agreed with Wang’s choice.

Wang said, "The three Warriors are confirmed. Let’s fill in the rest. Tai Seng, what will you choose?"

As soon as Tai Seng heard he had a choice, he loudly declared, "I choose Sage and Priest!"

Since he couldn’t compete as a Warrior, he’d join Si Yan in every event she entered.

Wang agreed and checked off both "Sage" and "Priest" next to Tai Seng’s name.

Then, he checked off "Priest" next to his own name, meaning Wang would participate in "Warrior" and "Priest."

Jin Tong said, "Then I’ll go for Sage." This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

Wang checked off "Sage" in Jin Tong’s row as well.

He stopped writing and announced, "The Sages are set: Si Yan, Tai Seng, Jin Tong. The Warriors are also set: myself, Jin Tong, Ming Yan. The Priests are set: Si Yan, Tai Seng, myself. But we don’t have anyone for Witch Doctor."

Yin Hong said, "Put my name and my mother’s under Witch Doctor."

Wang marked a triangle next to Yin Hong’s and Yin Xiu’s names in the "Witch Doctor" column.

She Chuan said, "Neither She Ying nor I are Witch Doctors, but I’ve assisted the Snake Tribe’s Witch Doctor before. How about I participate as a Witch Doctor?"

Wang nodded. "Witch Doctor contest: Yin Xiu, Yin Hong, She Chuan."

While other tribes were still struggling to figure out their assignments, Si Yan’s group, thanks to Wang’s statistical approach, had already finalized their competition roster.

Beastmen from Myriad Beasts City led the way, taking Si Yan, Tai Seng, and Jin Tong to one of the larger arenas.

Jin Tong looked at Tai Seng, who was walking ahead.

When Jin Tong had first heard Tai Seng say he was just a Guardian Beast, he’d wondered what kind of female could be so grand. To think a male with a Special Ability was only a Guardian Beast, not even a Zheng Xiong! But now that he knew this female was his own younger sister, Jin Tong felt that his sister should indeed be this choosy. Tai Seng was still too weak, Jin Tong thought. He needed serious training.
