Chapter 585 — The One Who Saw Through the Truth

Star Refining + Dragon Star Swarm + Genesis Domain was simply a perfect combination. Its power on a starry battlefield was hardly inferior to the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation; it truly was a tough nut to crack.

If the opponent had been Short-Legged Cat and Turtle and the like, Rin could still find their weaknesses and handle them as it had with Ginseng Baby, but Chongchong's weaknesses were far too few. Its attributes were even more well-rounded than Eleven's, leaving Rin with no recourse at all.

"Much obliged," Chongchong said, releasing its dragon claw.

Rin was teleported out directly.

As for the gamblers who had bet on Chongchong's victory, they were now dumbstruck.

Though they had hoped in their hearts that Chongchong could turn the battle around, even so...

None of them had expected that the mighty cosmic disaster would simply be brutally smashed open into a hole and broken by such means...

"What in the world... this Jiaqi... an Azure Dragon??"

Upon realizing Chongchong's true identity, the prodigies of the Four Saints clans stared at it in disbelief. It was the first time they had seen the Worm of Imagination reveal its true form.

This Jiaqi, an Azure Dragon—why had it kept to its worm form all this time?

What was it thinking!

But above all, what was going on with this Jiaqi's strength!

"Oh my, oh my." At this moment, Shi Yan the Gemstone Cat, who had been watching the battle all along, sighed with emotion upon seeing the entire match come to an end.

"Why did Rin yield!!" Gemstone Xu complained. It had been so looking forward to this battle, a great war amid the stars.

Who would have thought that after Chongchong smashed through the starry storm, Rin would simply yield.

"Because Rin must have analyzed that its win rate wasn't high. Now that it has learned to foresee the future, it can basically judge its own win rate before a battle even begins..."

Gemstone Cat: "Awoo... I know, but there's no harm in fighting anyway. What if luck was on its side and something happened to Chongchong?"

Shi Yan said, "Rin has no interest in intra-team matches. The initial program I set for her was to assist beast tamers and teammates in growing stronger; seeing her teammates grow powerful one by one makes her happier. But when she has the strength to take the championship, I think Rin won't give up the top spot within the team either. She's still waiting—waiting for the moment she rises."

"If it were Xiao Ji in her place, I doubt it would bother analyzing any win rates..."

Offer up a bit of IQ, then just go for it. Only after being truly defeated would Xiao Ji realize that the one before it was not to be trifled with...

[Shi Jin, check the top trending search]

While Shi Yan the Gemstone Cat was conversing, a voice transmission suddenly reached Shi Jin's ears. Shi Shuo listened—it was Senior Kongdi.

The God-Sealing War Committee.

Chairman Saqi frowned and said, "Was it our side that leaked the information?"

"No. Our side is extremely strict about data management. Besides, some of that data doesn't even exist on our end!" said an assistant with a camera mounted on his face.

"The other party is the 'Leak King.' It's not impossible that he got his hands on this data... It's not our fault."

"Impossible." Somewhere in Tianshu City, Minggu, Kahn, the son of the Demon Emperor, and the other contestants stared in shock at the leak video before them.

By all logic, Shiyi's defeat of Chitong and Chongchong's defeat of Lin should have occupied the top two trending spots.

But because a single video had appeared out of nowhere, everyone was drawn in, whether they followed the God-Sealing War or not.

Simply because the video's creator was the "Leak King."

"The Leak King is back? He dares to post videos again? What rumors is he spreading this time?"

When it came to the Leak King, there was virtually no one on Realm King Star who did not know him. His fame exceeded even that of Transcendent-tier powerhouses.

Yet by all accounts, he was merely a God-tier.

The reason the Leak King was so famous was that he dared to say anything. So long as a topic carried enough sensational weight, he dared to investigate it. Even if some Transcendent-tier realm lord was seducing another man's wife, or a child was not biologically his own, so long as the Leak King heard of it and it had talking-point value, he dared to leak it.

He could be called the most unwelcome figure on Realm King Star.

He belonged to no faction. He often posted videos wearing a fox mask, and no one knew his identity, so people simply called him the Leak King.

The Leak King had become active eight hundred years ago, leaking information great and small, and his greatest achievement was earning the "impressive record of being wanted by seven first-tier realms and one hundred forty-one second-tier realms."

There were many Transcendent-tier powerhouses who wanted him dead, and countless God-tiers besides, yet after all these years he remained perfectly safe, as though he possessed some great divine ability that let him evade every pursuit.

As for the leaks from this figure who hid his head but showed his face, the parties involved naturally denied them. Though some leaks were known in everyone's hearts to be true, there were also some that could not be verified.

So people never knew whether the contents this fellow leaked were true or false each time, but it was undeniable that every appearance of the Leak King brought people major news.

"What did the Leak King say this time?"

The myriad races of Realm King Star's starry skies were endlessly curious.

"Hehe, hello everyone, we meet again." Against a black background, a figure wearing a fox mask said, "This time I've brought you an interesting leak!"

"I'm going to introduce you all to the most savage newcomer in the God-Sealing War of Realm King Star in the past hundred thousand years!!"

With that, ten photographs appeared in the video—none other than the top ten rising stars that the God-Sealing War Committee had catalogued, from Shiyi all the way to Xiaoji.

"These God-Sealing War contestants are surely known to everyone."

"And it seems many people have been investigating their information. Next, I'll leak it to you all in one go."

The fox-masked man chuckled again and pulled out two photographs on their own—none other than the World-Devouring Dragon and the Mysterious Mechanism Sect Master.

"The Mechanical Beast, the World-Devouring Dragon, the White Tiger Evolver, the Mysterious Mechanism Sect Master—you should all know by now that they are the beasts of a human beastmaster named Shi Ying."

With that, the Leak King pasted Shi Ying's photograph beside the World-Devouring Dragon and the Mysterious Mechanism Sect Master, and said, "But what you definitely don't know is..."

"The Abyssal Beast, the World-Purifying Demon Duck—they too are Shi Ying's beasts!"

"The Black Tortoise Evolver, the Ultra-Holy Beast—also Shi Ying's beasts!"

"Su Su, the Purifying Star Spirit, vice president of the Canglan Environmental Protection Association—still Shi Ying's beast!"

"Lin, deputy director of the Canglan Cosmic Disaster Research Institute..."

"The Heaven-Participating Emperor, vice president of the Canghai Plant Association..."

"And the Phantasmal Insect, Chitong, and Shiyi, who has already been leaked as hailing from the Suspended Sky Realm—every one of them is Shi Ying's beast!"

"Yes! The ten monstrous newcomers who appeared in this year's God-Sealing War are all the beasts of this beastmaster named Shi Ying!"

"They all come from a second-tier realm, the Suspended Sky Realm. And who exactly is this Shi Ying, that he can contract so many monstrous beasts... He is, in fact, a newcomer to Realm King Star who arrived from a frontier star system less than a year ago!"

"Haha, aren't you shocked?"

"Same as always—I only handle the leaking. The truth is for you to explore yourselves."
