"What’s going on?"
"Are the two Tiger Head Beasts sick?"
"Sick my head! Can’t you tell? It’s obvious that they’re intimidated..."
"After the other party said that ’if you all don’t fall, I won’t be able to proceed on with the trial’, those two fellows imdiately dropped from fright..."
After a mont of silence, an uproar burst in the area.
They had seen savage beasts fighting resolutely against an opponent to their last breath.
They had seen arrogant savage beasts who disregarded all that ca their way...
But they had never seen a savage beast who played dead even before the fight began...
How scared are you both of that fellow?
"Without making a move, he made the ferocious Tiger Head Beast so scared that they chose to play dead?"
Luo Tang and Fang Jin nearly bit their own tongues.
Wasn’t this way too exaggerated?
Those were Tiger Head Beasts, incomparably ferocious animals! They were existences who dared to bare their fangs against Zhizun realm experts! Yet, after witnessing a single punch, they imdiately fell to the ground and allowed saliva to trickle from their lips...
Can you all be any more shaless than that?
What ever happened to the pride of a savage beast?
The backbone of the Dictator of the Forest?
The disposition of a Zongshi realm pinnacle?
Luo Tang and the others felt as though their worldly horizons were being pushed to new boundaries.
Ten minutes ago, they prided themselves on being invincible in the art of beast taming in Xuanyuan Kingdom. However, upon seeing Zhang Xuan, they realized how insignificant they were.
Despite inducing Complete Submission among a group of Whirlwind Wolves within a few breaths, that fellow... kicked them away as though they were nothing.
Alright, you might not necessarily need them, so I will grudgingly overlook it. But... to scare a Tiger Head Beast into playing dead with a single word, isn’t that way too exaggerated?
"If it were ... What would happen?"
Putting himself in the other party’s situation, Luo Tang imdiately burst into tears.
If he was the one facing the three Tiger Head Beasts, he would probably imdiately fall to the ground and play dead upon hearing the other party’s howl...
Before this, he thought that Hall Master Feng and the others were going overboard praising this fellow. However, only now did he know that there was a world of a difference between this fellow and him.
"I won’t be able to do so either..." Fang Jin shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even as a Half-Zhizun expert, he didn’t stand a chance against three Tiger Head Beasts at once. Under such circumstances, the best he could do was to run as far as he could. Subduing and taming it were completely out of question.
...
"The Tiger Head Beast’s defense is strongest at its abdon, but it’s also where its strength originates from. Through striking at that spot with pure brute strength, that lad instantaneously destroyed its biological structure, resulting in its nausea and powerless!"
Seeing that sight, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen widened his mouth in shock. It took him a long mont before he recovered. "After seeing the sight, the two remaining Tiger Head Beasts knew that the sa plight would befall them if they were to be struck...
"Once a savage beast loses its fighting prowess, it would be no different from dead. No matter how foolish they might be, it was clear what they should do!"
The primal instincts of a savage beast also taught them to avoid the strong. When facing a being far stronger than itself, even the most arrogant savage beast would back down.
"Indeed. However... to achieve this, one needs to possess more than brute strength. Above that, one has to have a complete understanding of the physique of a Tiger Head Beast so as to instantaneously determine the point of weakness among the muscles, bones, and ridians amidst its huge abdon before one can subdue it with a single blow..."
Grand Elder Wei Yuqing was also stunned.
Those were Tiger Head Beasts! Even with his current strength, it was still impossible for him to instill so much fear in them with a single blow that they would play dead!
This was no longer just a matter of possessing imnse brute strength. Only those who possesses complete understanding of the Tiger Head Beast, its habits, attacking pattern, physique, and such were able to do so!
Only then would one be able to achieve such a feat so easily.
Was... Was he still a human?
For a 2-star beast tar who wasn’t in his twenties yet... How in the world did he do it?
"If I’m not wrong, he probably has a Tiger Head Beast as a tad beast. After innurable days and nights of companion, he managed to gain an in-depth understanding of the latter. Otherwise... it doesn’t make sense at all!"
After thinking for a mont, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen eventually spoke up.
It was impossible for such knowledge to appear from nowhere. It was only through books and practical experience that one could gain complete understanding over sothing.
Back then, there was a painter in the capital who, in order to bring out the spirit within bamboo, planted bamboos all around his house and observed them day after day. After twenty-seven years, he managed to produce a masterpiece and made a na for himself!
In order to better understand their tad beast, so beast tars would choose to accompany their tad beast day and night. So even went to the extent of mimicking their actions so as to learn more about their habits. Through this, they were able to create cultivation techniques that complented their tad beast, and they were also able to earn trust from their tad beast as well.
Given that the other party was able to get the Tiger Head Beasts to admit defeat in an instant through ans they were unable to think of, this could only an that the other party’s understanding of this savage beast had far surpassed them.
Most probably, he had put a lot of effort into the study of Tiger Head Beasts.
And to do so, it was likely that he had tad one.
"Indeed!"
Grand Elder Wei Yuqing nodded in agreent. Then, he glanced at the cage, and worry surfaced in his eyes, "He might be able to pass this stage due to his deep understanding of the Tiger Head Beast, but the third stage won’t be that easy!"
"For the third stage, he’ll have to face the Half-Zhizun [Seven ridians Vicious Bear]
Hall Master Xie Jiuchen’s complexion slowly turned grim, "This kind of savage beast is extrely rare, and it’s nearly impossible to ta it. Thus, it’s impossible for him to have prior knowledge of it!"
"More importantly, it possesses imnse strength. Even though its cultivation is only at Half-Zhizun, it’s very likely that its true strength has surpassed ten thousand ding!"
"Un. The Seven ridians Vicious Bear only has seven ridians in its body, but it provides them with an advantage as well. To make up for the lacking quantity of ridians in its body, its ridians grew thicker, granting it with imnse strength. If not for its slow movents, it would have been surely classified as a Zhizun realm savage beast!"
Grand Elder Wei Yuqing nodded.
The only reason why the Seven ridians Vicious Bear was publicly acknowledged to be a Half-Zhizun realm savage beast was because of its lacking speed. However, in terms of strength, even Zhizun realm primary stage cultivators were unable to match up to it.
"In order to make up for the flaw of the Seven ridians Vicious Bear, the area for the third stage of the Ten Beasts Cage is made narrower. This way, its limited speed wouldn’t beco too much of a problem, and the challenger won’t be able to circumvent it. Given the strength of the Seven ridians Vicious Bear, it’ll be difficult for that lad to get by using the two techniques he used for the previous two stages!" Hall Master Xie Jiuchen said.
Even though Zhang Xuan had passed the first two stages easily, there was a possibility that he might have prepared specially for them in advance.
If he had studied the flaws of the two savage beasts intensely beforehand, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to pass the two stages.
But the third stage was different. Due to the narrow area, it would be difficult for one to escape from the assault of the Seven ridians Vicious Bear. On top of that, the flaw of the Seven ridians Vicious Bear was on its back, and given the limited area, it was impossible for one to sneak to its back and strike it. Thus, one would be forced to face it straight on.
It was one thing if Zhang Xuan’s cultivation equaled with it. However, not only was the savage beast’s cultivation one small realm higher than Zhang Xuan, he also had to face two at once...
The difficulty was unimaginable.
It was not an exaggeration to say that there was no hope of victory.
...
"Most probably... His challenge will co to an end here!"
Jiang Nanping’s tightly clenched fists slowly released.
It was true that the other party had shocked him with his feat with the Tiger Head Beasts.
But the Seven ridians Vicious Bear was different.
Given the narrow space, one could only face it in a battle of strength.
Without sufficient strength, losing... was inevitable.
From the battle between the young man with the Whirlwind Wolves, it was clear that he was more adept in swift movents. Such cultivators often lacked strength.
After all, it was impossible for one to be skilled in everything.
"Even a Zhizun realm primary stage cultivator would be unable to subdue a Seven ridians Vicious Bear. He’ll... surely be unable to withstand its attacks!"
Wei Youdao shared the sa point of view.
If the second stage with the Tiger Head Beasts could be described as dangerous, then the third one with the Seven ridians Vicious Bear would cause despair.
Even with its slow speed, it was impossible for a Zongshi realm pinnacle to triumph over it.
"Let’s see what weapon he’ll use!" Jiang Nanping comnted.
Due to the overwhelming difficulty of the third stage, challengers were permitted to use their choice weapon from a selection provided by the Beast Hall.
However, due to the confined space, one had to choose carefully. If the weapon was too long, one would not be able to move freely, and it would beco a burden instead. On the other hand, if it was too short, it would be difficult to deal significant damage to the massive body of the Seven ridians Vicious Bear, thus rendering it useless.
If one didn’t choose wisely, it would almost be equivalent to forfeiting.
"He’s already in front of the weapon rack. I guess he’ll probably use a hamr or sothing similar. It allows him to launch powerful blows, and it is easy to use as well."
"I think it should be a sharp dagger or sothing of the sort. It’ll be much easier to use them..."
The duo stared fixedly at the young man below as they spoke their conjectures. However, before they could finish their words, the sight below caused them to freeze.
The youngster below simply walked past the weapon rack as though he didn’t see it.
"He didn’t choose anything? What does this an? It can’t be that... he intends to face the Seven ridians Vicious Bear barehanded?"
"Barehanded? Is that fellow mad?"
The Seven ridians Vicious Bear was known for his imnse strength. Through the skillful utilization of one’s weapon, one might still stand a chance...
But barehanded, how could he possibly win?
This was no different from smashing an egg on a stone! This was courting death!
"It’s beginning... It’s too late to choose a weapon now..."
Just as the duo were shocked, the young man below had already walked into the attacking radius of the two Seven ridians Vicious Bear.
Roar! Roar!
Two massive figures blocking the narrow passageway of the cage entirely roared furiously as they stared at the young man in savagery.
As though they would tear him apart.
"Not only does the Seven ridians Vicious Bear possess imnse strength, its defense is also top-notch. Under such circumstances, the narrow space is truly advantageous to it... This stage is a little tricky!" Zhang Xuan muttered as he looked ahead.
There was a lot of information on the Seven ridians Vicious Bear within the books that he assimilated to his head, and thus, he knew how fearso and powerful these two fellows were.
If he hadn’t cultivated the Heaven’s Path Golden Body 2-dan, he would surely find it difficult to face them. But now, they didn’t an much to him.
As for weapons...
The spear art, sword art, and saber art that Zhang Xuan learned were way too sharp and powerful. If he were to accidentally kill the other party in the midst of the battle, wouldn’t the Beast Hall co after him?
Even in Xuanyuan Kingdom Beast Hall, Half-Zhizun savage beasts were rare.
"Alright, I should hurry up. I still want to gather a few more drops of spirit beast blood essence..."
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan dashed forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing right before a Seven ridians Vicious Bear. Then, with both of his hands, he grabbed the arm of one of the massive fellows.
"Rise!"
Howling furiously, Zhang Xuan flipped it over.
"..."
"What’s this fighting thod?"
Wei Youdao, Jiang Nanping, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen, Grand Elder Wei Yuqing, and the others were dumbfounded by the sight.
