" This is impossible, even the Golden Tyrant being stronger than the three of them didn't have a way to counter poisons " Wang Yong said looking below with a frowning expression
Ren Bao nods as he says " In these 400 years they must have found a way to counter that weakness, I believe they found a way to counter poisons in the upper realms, it's not possible they found a solution here "
The Emperor looks at the two old men with a serious expression then turns to see below. near the platform, he saw Lan Zexi taking away the now cripple Lan Wei, her face was still pale from the previous shock, and he wondered if Wang Jun were the one in Lan Wei's position, he would have done the same as Old Tai? jump to save him? Isn't it the same as courting death? Old Tai may be old but he was strong and loved Lan Wei as a son at least that's what Lan Zexi said but now he is dead and Lan Wei is a cripple, he didn't have to courage to risk his life, besides Wang Jun was his fifth son and the weakest of them and there is still Ying Yue that he desires the most so he wonders it won't be the best for him if he dies?
The Emperor begins to grin slightly thinking of Yue's alluring body and the consequences if his son died, he will make her his, and deep in his heart he desires Dakon to kill him when they fight
------------------------------------------------
Near the platform
" Teacher Shen, Chen Kai... Why has he done that? isn't he in big trouble now? " Yuan Ning asked with a worried expression
Teacher Shen frowns as he says " I don't know what he has done something as foolish as that, the Lan Clan won't leave him live in peace after this tournament " Lang Lin and Yuan Ning look at him in surprise and worry but then Wuhan said with a wide smile " I wouldn't worry about him, I mean you looked at that guy who killed the old man, he is a monster I think that even the matriarch of the Lan clan couldn't do anything to him "
Teacher Shen shook his head and said " I don't think so, we saw how they treated each other at the start of this tournament, I believe that the help he gave him was a one-time thing, I don't know " The three look at him with serious faces and turned to look at Chen Kai at the other side of the platform
------------------------------------------------
Chen Kai looked confused, he couldn't learn that technique like this, it only showed the pose and the name, it didn't have anything else, so he turned to see Shallot with a frowning expression and asked " Hey, the gem must have been defective, I can't learn the technique with the knowledge it gave me "
Callion looks confused and sees Chen Kai with doubt but Shallot smirks as he turns to see him " Well about that, you are too weak to use it, that's all "
Chen Kai frowned and said " What? " while Callion mocked him with a soft laugh. Shallot turns to see him and says " Why are you laughing? Even you are too weak for a technique of that caliber "
Callion looks curious at Shallot but Chen Kai looks at him with an annoyed expression " Then what's the point of giving me a technique that I can't use? "
Shallot rolls his eyes in annoyance " That technique is far stronger than you imagine, you don't have the energy, control, or even brain to use it correctly so don't complain, you idiot, sooner you will be able to use it "
Chen Kai looks at him for a second then he turns to see the platform once again, Shallot shakes his head, then he says "It's your turn skinny, brat " Callion turns to see him, and a wide smile grows on his face. He begins to stretch his right arm and says " Alright, I'm eager to start " his eyes landed on Shao Yimu on the other side of the platform, it seemed that he wasn't the only one eager to fight as he saw how Yimu was smiling cruelly at him
Callion and Shao Yimu climbed the platform looking at each other with cold smiles. The crowd looked at both of them with a mix of emotions, the display of power that both of them had shown had left a deep impression, for good or for bad they knew that their fight would be one of the best
------------------------------------------------
In the balcony
Wang Yong looked at both of them with a serious expression and said " Shao Yimu the young promise of the Bai Sect, his strength in the beast assimilation form should be at pair as that little bastard but we can be sure if he will be able to win "
Ren Bao nods as he says " Indeed, they as the Golden Tyrant are very hard to read, even after hundreds of years I can't feel at what realm that little bastard is "
" If that stingy bastard Jianhong wouldn't have taken the artifact with him we would be able to know, " Wang Yong said with a grinning face and a frowning expression
" No need to worry, he said he will come back in a couple of hours, he should be here at the end of the tournament " Ren Bao said with a serious expression
------------------------------------------------
Near the platform
Jin Zhong looked at the platform with a serious expression, being Callion or Shao Yimu he felt that they were the first ones to be a good match for his strength, yet both of them were everything he hated about this world, murderers who smiled the moment they took innocent lives so he begin to frown at the sight of them
The old referee looks at both young men in the center of the platform and yells " The next battle will be between Callion of the Saiyan Sect and Shao Yimu of the Bai Sect! "
" This will be good! " A young man in the crowd said with a smiled
Then the old referee yells " If you two are ready, begin the fight!! " And as soon as he said that Shao Yimu ran towards Callion transforming into a huge humanoid tiger in an instant, he looked bigger than the first time he used his transformation and even faster
" RAAA!! " Shao Yimu roars and sends a strong punch towards Callion with his right hand " That's what I like! " Said Callion with a grin as he sent a punch toward Shao Yimu and *BOOM* their fist clashed creating a shockwave that made the platform shake
" Woah! " " He took that attack head-on?! That's crazy! " " Those two are monsters! " The onlookers saw the clash in astonishment after all Callion was at least half the size of Shao Yimu's tiger form yet he responded with the same strength
" What incredible physical strength those two have! But what is more surprising is that guy Callion! He isn't using any technique to increase his strength! " Teacher Shen said with a serious expression
On the platform Callion smiled and Shao Yimu showed him his sharp teeth, Yimu chuckled slightly and said in a hoarse and monster-like voice " I knew it, this will be fun "
Callion smiles as he says " Yes, it will " Then he grabs Shao Yimu's huge arm and turns around raising it from the ground in a simple movement, and *SLAM* *BOOM* he slams his huge body against the ground with a lot of strength creating a wide crater in the platform in the process but then *PUM* Shao Yimu hits Callion in the face while he was still in the ground, the impact was so great that he sent Callion flying to the sky for at least 10 meters
Callion shakes his head from the impact and smiles while he is bleeding from his nose and mouth, then he claps his hands together and creates yellow sparks around them, and when he raises them above his head, an energy donut appears then he says with a smile " Try to not die, will you? " Then *SWOOSH* he throws his Kill Driver towards Shao Yimu
Shao Yimu looked at the incoming attack with surprise he had never seen anything like that before, still, his instincts screamed at him to evade it, so *SWOOSH* he disappeared at a very fast speed, the old referee moved as well then *BOOOOM* A huge explosion occurred covering half of the platform with a cloud of fire and smoke
The barriers around the platform activated, all at the same time containing the explosion but " What the hell!? " What is that?! " The participants around the platform closed their eyes to the light and strong wind that the explosion caused
The only two who weren't affected were Chen Kai and Shallot who look calmly at the platform, Shallot smirks and thinks ' It seems that the skinny brat knows how to hold back, it will be a shame if the platform disappears by just a simple attack '
Callion lands and smiles, while a cloud of black smoke is still dissipating
------------------------------------------------
On the balcony
" What was that technique? I never saw anything like that, it's so destructive, someone at his level shouldn't be able to cause such destruction " The Emperor said with a serious expression looking at the damaged platform below him then Ren Bao said him " This is as expected, as those two brats are right now, they should be able to destroy the empire if they wanted " The emperor looks at him in shock, how it is possible that those two brats could do something like only the strongest cultivators could do
Wang Yong nods and says " Let's see if the boy from the Bai Sect could survive after the little monster begins to use more techniques like that "
------------------------------------------------
Callion crossed his arms and said " You are fast, I give you that " As soon as he said that *ZOOM* Shao Yimu appeared behind him with his left arm retracted then *SWOOSH* he attacked Callion from behind but Callion leaned forward and *PUM* " Argh... " he kicks Shao Yimu in the chin with his left feet " But I'm faster " Callion said with mocking grin
Callion then spins in the air and *PAM* " Agh! " he kicks Shao Yimo's huge head on the left side with enough strength to create a small shock wave, but he doesn't stop there Callion lands and jumps towards him with his left hand retracted and *PUM* " Ugh.. " he hits him with a left hook and immediately *PUM* " Gra.. " he hits him with a right hook and then *BOOM* " Agh... " he raised Shao Yimu's big body into the air with an uppercut
Callion smiled at all the blood he made Shao Yimu spill then he jumped after him and *BANG* " Agh! " he hit him with a roundhouse kick right in his big stomach sending him flying toward the ground where *BOOM* he crashed making the platform shake by the impact
Callion lands and crosses his arms and with a cocky smile, he said " That's all? It seems that you were only this much, such a boring fight "
" Haha " Suddenly Shao Yimu laughs evilly and stands to lick the blood from his mouth with an unusually long tongue, he sees Callion and " Hahaha " he laughs even more but Callion only sees him with a grinning expression
" It's been a while since someone hurt me this much, besides my masters of course " Said Shao Yimu with a cold voice then he extended his arms slightly to the sides, and while showing Callion his sharp teeth he said " You don't mind if I get a little carried away, do you? "
Callion snorts and says " If you make this more interesting, go ahead " Shao Yimu growls and roars " RAAA!! " with a huge strength into the air sending multiple sonic waves that travel through the platform
Chen Kai frowned seeing that and thought ' His energy is increasing rapidly, what is he doing? '
------------------------------------------------
On the balcony
Wang Yong looks at Shao Yimu with a surprised expression " That kid, he managed to take his Beast Assimilation Technique to the next level, just like Emperor Rong, let's see how much time he manage to keep his sanity "
------------------------------------------------
On the platform
Callion looked at Shao Yimu with a frowning expression, the once big beast was changing again, his muscles shrank, his fur changed from orange to blood red while the strips he had changed to different sizes dots, and his mouth as well transformed as his fangs grew larger and sharper just like the claws in each of his fingers
*GROWL* Shao Yimu growls as he stands in his four limbs looking more like a wild beast now, he sees Callion with his bloodlust red eyes, that seem to have lost all his sanity, no one will believe that he was once human if it weren't for his clothes and had seen him transform
" What the hell?! he turned into a beast?! " " He doesn't seem right! " The expectation crowd began to say in shock as they saw Shao Yimu in fear, they could feel the bloodlust coming from him something that ordinary people feared by instinct
" ... " Jin Zhong looked at the platform with a very serious expression clenching his fists tightly while Wang Jun who was a few meters near thinks with a surprised expression ' What the hell is that monster?! ' He could feel the difference in strength between him and Shao Yimu and deep inside he was scared of him
*GRAWL* Shao Yimu growls once more and begins to move like a stalking beast, he opens his large jaw showing Callion his sharp, saliva-covered teeth, while Callion smiles widely with confidence and says " Attack, you nasty beast "
