The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 671 - 380: A Surprising Contest
The following test proceeded at a rapid pace. First up was Tu Jin. The Rhino Demon guard transformed back into his True Body, becoming a giant Single-horned Rhinoceros over ten meters tall. When it started running, it resembled a fully speed locomotive, not only creating an astonishing momentum but also making the ground emit unbearable groans. At this moment, the surrounding demons felt as if another tremor was coming.
"Yo, Little Three has improved quite a bit lately. Look at those legs, that butt, it’s gotten thicker!" The well-informed crowd pointed and whispered among themselves.
Large demons typically like to overwhelm with strength, Changtian is an example, and this fellow is no exception. After a quick sprint of almost twenty meters, its speed was very fast. Just as it was about to charge at Tu Jin, it let out a long whistle like that of a steam train, exhaling a puff of white air from its nostrils, lowered its head and aimed its single horn at him.
By this time, Tu Jin still hadn’t transformed.
Dissatisfaction was evident in the eyes of the Rhino Demon, Little Three. Given such a frenzied speed and the massive size, Tu Jin’s human form seemed too fragile; being knocked away upon collision was the best-case scenario, but it was possible to end up skewered on the Rhino Demon’s long horn like salted fish if things went poorly.
He wanted to enjoy the fight a bit longer and was not ready to end it so soon. With this in mind, Little Three charged with full force and butted fiercely with his head.
Tu Jin still had his eyes lowered, and his body appeared very relaxed. Everyone could see that his feet weren’t even bracing for impact. It was as if the thing charging at him wasn’t a giant rhinoceros weighing at least six or seven tons, but rather a little pug leaping into his arms to be petted.
It wasn’t until Little Three was about to run into him that Tu Jin suddenly raised his hands and firmly grabbed the long horn in front of him, pressing down forcefully!
The Rhino Demon was pushing forward with all its might, but unlike what everyone had imagined, Tu Jin wasn’t sent flying. Instead, he was pushed back only three steps by the strong impact.
To only retreat three steps after being hit by such Giant Strength! The watching demons’ eyes flickered with amazement.
Now the two demons were seriously contending with each other. From Ning Xiaoxian’s perspective, one could see the muscles on Tu Jin’s arms bulging, his whole body firmly rooted to the ground like a nail without the slightest movement, as he suddenly let out a loud shout and twisted his hands to the right.
In a resounding boom, the giant rhinoceros flipped onto its side and slammed heavily to the ground, creating a slightly sunken crater.
With just one round, Tu Jin had knocked down his opponent, without even transforming back into his Qishou form.
The arena fell silent, and after a few seconds, applause thundered like a storm.
Tu Jin let go, stepped back twice, crossed his arms over his chest and looked at it, standing tall with his back straight. The giant rhino’s small eyes were bloodshot, turning completely red, ready to charge once more and fight it out. However, Xi Yan, who had been standing by acting as the referee, stepped between the two and said sternly: "Enough, there’s no need to fight to the death." He turned to Tu Jin, "Just with this display of strength, you’ve already passed." Although the Rhino Demon was furious, it didn’t dare to lash out at its immediate superior and so it stood down.
She knew Tu Jin would definitely win, but she didn’t expect him to win in the first round... The Qilin is originally a Holy Beast known for its strength. Tu Jin himself is a Mahayana Realm cultivator, and the Qishou body he occupies, having been nurtured with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the soil, had long reached the Returning to Void realm. Its skin and flesh were as solid as steel, and saying it could lift a thousand jun was an understatement. Defeating a Rhino Demon was nothing extraordinary.
In the crowd, someone whistled and praised, "Well done." Clearly, this aggressive way of tough and hands-on fighting, as well as the outcome of dominating despite the size difference, appealed to a part of the crowd.
"It’s your turn now." Tu Jin passed by Qi Zai, their fists brushing against each other, then he suddenly whispered, "Show them what you’ve got, the Qingluan is here."
The Qingluan is here? Qi Zai and Ning Xiaoxian looked around, indeed spotting the Green Bird flying from afar. Soon after, that familiar, beautiful face appeared in the crowd, looking towards them.
Qi Zai, you can do it. Ning Xiaoxian snickered secretly. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
There were winners and losers in this betting game. When the next Rhino Demon and Qi Zai entered the arena for their match, the White Weasel was busy distributing money to the winners.
In various competitions, the Hidden Stream had specific rules, stipulating that Bird Demons were not allowed to stay in the air for extended periods during battle. The sky is the birds’ domain, and if Bird Demons stayed airborne for too long, relentlessly blasting their opponents with magic while the ordinary demons could only rely on their cumbersome Flying Techniques to catch them, it would be too unfair.
Qi Zai reverted to his True Body, a Chongming Bird, and after listening to Xi Yan’s rule briefing, he just sneered without saying a word. Everyone thought he was dissatisfied with the rule, but once the fight started, eyeballs dropped to the floor—this guy never left the ground from the beginning to the end.
