Chapter 441  Triumph in the Dungeon: Shang Jun's Victorious Battle

Back to the competition for the throne, it's been four days since it began and the first round in this trial was about to end.

The first round was named the Trial of Monsters. For this round, Dungeon of Venclaw was selected.

The six-star dungeon in the Jin province was explored by Bai Xun and the imperial army made sure that no thirty-party adventurer stay in the place.

The mission was simple. The five contenders have to enter the dungeon and make a contract with a beast of atleast 4-circle realm within a time limit and return.

Those who are unsuccessful will be eliminated from the competition right away. If there are multiple contenders who are successful, the one with the highest scores (depending on the type of contracted beast), will be receiving an advantage during the next trial.

The contenders will enter the place alone without any help. Shang Jun has the advantage due to his high cultivation while Shang Hao has the lowest chance.

Shang Xiang has contracted with a peak-5-circle-realm beast of fierce grade named Sylfire, a fire-breathing wolf.

Shang Zexi was also successful in contracting with a low-6-circle-ream beast but of normal grade, named the Armored Elephant.

Shang Wei surprised everyone by going for a 4-circle-realm beast. Some experts lauded him for his cleverness as he had come out by sitting on a horse. It was a lightning-element horse. Despite its low level, it can still run up at the speed of 250 km/hr.

However, there are some that criticized him too as he can fly with phoenix wings when he enters the six-circle realm. But, his supporters defended him by saying that an Emperor looks cooler riding a horse compared to flying with fiery wings.

Meanwhile, Shang Ho and Shang Jun were still inside.

After several failures, the 33-year-old was currently trying to tame a four-horned large Bison (peak-4-circle of fierce grade). He was hanging onto its back as it was aggressively jumping around like a bull, trying to shake him off its back.

Its energy levels slowly dipped down as time passed and Shang Ho's confidence grew up.

Unfortunately, for him, fate put Shang Jun in his path. Before he accomplished the task, the bison suddenly disappeared alongside every other creature in the region.

*Thud*

Shang Ho fell on his butt and was taken aback by the situation. "What the hell has happened?" He wondered before his eyes fell on a giant crab-like creature with a dark, black shell.

The beast was coming toward him and Shang Ho's face turned pale in fear. He quickly started running away in a random direction but the creature didn't chase after him. It went toward the portal, which could only be accessed by humans.

It entered the portal and exited the dungeon, where a huge campsite was built around with people waiting for the contenders.

Since it was the last day, Emperor Shang and the other princes have been paying attention to the dungeon in anticipation that Shang Jun gets disqualified.

As any father, he wants his children to become more successful than the others. If someone has to become the next emperor, it should be his child, not his brother's son.

Once Shang Jun becomes the Emperor, the descendants of Shang Fu will become a branch family while the former's family will become the imperial family. He knew his eldest son very well. Shang Zexi would definitely rebel if Shang Jun sits on the throne.

More than so, he was inwardly rooting for Shang Wei to succeed him. And Shang Jun's sudden entry also threatened that dream.

However, as they saw the giant crab, everyone's expression became serious.

"He managed to tame the beast king?" mumbled Shang Fu with a darkened expression. The fact that Shang Jun even managed to beat down the ego of a beast king only showcases his ability.

But, it isn't over yet.

Upon reaching the emperor's campsite, Shang Fu jumped down to the ground and walked toward him.

He questioned the supreme commander whether he passes the first trial. As Bai Xun nodded, he went on to ask whether the following trials have anything to do with the captured beast.

As the details of the following rounds were already announced, Bai Xun wondered whether there is something wrong with his long-haired prince and replied, "You can use contracted beasts in the battle."

The six-foot handsome hunk then smiled before leaving a comment, "Then, I'll put it to a better use."

Neither Bai Xun nor the people around him understood what he meant, but taking them by surprise once again, Shang Jun walked to the beast king and closed his eyes, "Release."

The phoenix flames burned the invisible chains between him and the beast king, freeing it from the contract.

The crab king, Venclaw frowned inwardly as it asked him in a deep voice similar to that of a human, "What are you doing? Why did you sever the bond?"

Shang Jun smiled as he summoned a semi-divine grade sword and poured his ether energy into it, "Sorry but your usefulness has ended. Perhaps, a dead one is more useful."

"How dare you?" The Crab king roared in anger, alerting the soldiers around and even the supreme commander.

As the crab king raised its sharp and raised pincers to attack its former contractor, the latter rushed forward with phoenix wings erupting from his back. However, the flames weren't scarlet like the second prince. The flame was blue.

Meanwhile, the broadsword in his hand grew 100 times bigger with blue flames enveloping the blade.

Jumping high, Shang Jun sliced at the crab's shell. The hard shell couldn't block his attack. It was perfectly cleaved into two.

Shang Jun then proceeded to cut down its head where its core is located. He placed the large head in his storage ring and left behind everything.

A few moments ago, it is a beast king, the overlord of the dungeon, but now, it is a huge corpse that couldn't even be cooked and eaten as it is risky to eat a dead crab.

"Okay, that was done." Maintaining a smile on his face, Shang Jun kept away the sword and clapped twice for his effort before bowing toward the corps, "Thank you for your contribution. Your sacrifice will be remembered."

Everyone: "…"
