Beside the young man, there were seven young men and women. They were probably slightly younger than Shangguan Chenfeng and Shangguan Rock. All of them looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. All of them had an extraordinary aura and temperament.
"Hu Ming …"
Shangguan Chenfeng, Shangguan Xiwei, and Shangguan Rock's expressions changed slightly when they saw the eight young men and women, especially the skinny, tall, and handsome young man who seemed to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
Su Yi's gaze landed on the eight young men and women. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the skinny, tall, and skinny young man. He could feel that the aura coming from the skinny, tall, and skinny young man was the strongest.
"Looks like things aren't looking good."
Shangguan Xiu said softly beside Su Yi. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.
"What's going on?" Su Yi looked at the eight young men and asked Shangguan Xiu in a low voice.
"They are from the Tribe of Tiger Hunters. Our Spirit Ancient Village has won this time and is here to take over the Heavenly Monster Cave. However, I'm afraid that the Tribe of Tiger Hunters won't hand it over to us so easily. They will make us suffer." Shangguan Xiu's lips curled into a bitter smile. She was already prepared to suffer.
"Brother Yi Su, that fella is Hu Ming. He's only a few years older than Hu Chi. However, in terms of seniority, he's Hu Chi's uncle. He's older than us and his seniority is also higher. It's said that he entered the Heavenly Monster Cave half a year ago and didn't participate in this competition. It's rumored that Hu Ming was already at the peak of the eighth level of the Profound Origin Realm half a year ago. He should be even stronger now and might have already stepped into the Origin Spirit Realm!"
Hearing the conversation between Su Yi and Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Rock lowered his head and whispered in Su Yi's ear, "They don't come with good intentions. Since our Spirit Ancient Village has won this time, this fella won't let us off so easily. I'm afraid that we'll have to suffer. However, they won't dare to go overboard!"
Shangguan Yan's face turned bitter as soon as he finished speaking.
Shangguan Rock knew that Su Yi was very strong. Last time, he was able to defeat the Fierce Red Wild Bear, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Demon Profound Realm.
But this Hu Ming in front of him had most likely already stepped into the Essence Spirit Realm after spending half a year in the Heavenly Demon Grotto.
The Origin Spirit Realm and the Origin Profound Realm, these were two different realms. Who could surpass them?
"Does no one care?"
Su Yi's gaze swept across the eight members of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters. Hu Ming's aura was the strongest, and the aura that invisibly emanated from him made Su Yi feel that he was most likely at the Origin Spirit stage.
However, the other seven members of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters were much weaker. On average, they were at the fifth or sixth level of the Origin Profound Realm. Overall, they were much stronger than Shangguan Rock and Shangguan Xiu.
"Eh … This is an unwritten rule. Ten years later, if the Hunting Tiger Tribe and the Barbarian Bear Tribe are victorious and someone comes to the Heavenly Monster Cave, at that time, I'm afraid that the people from our Spirit Ancient Village will also show our strength."
First Wave
Shangguan Rock bitterly smiled. This was an unwritten rule, so the elders of each clan would not say anything. Every generation had been like this.
This was called showing their strength, and they would have to suffer a little. But fortunately, everyone knew, so they would not go overboard.
As Su Yi was sizing them up, the young men and women of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters were also sizing up Shangguan Chenfeng, Shangguan Xiwei and the others. However, the expressions on their faces were not good, and there was not much goodwill in their gazes.
To the young men and women of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters, they naturally hoped that the Tribe of Tiger Hunters could continue to win. But seeing that the people of Spirit Ancient Village had come, it meant that the Tribe of Tiger Hunters had already lost in this once-in-a-decade competition. One could imagine how they felt.
"Shangguan Chenfeng, Shangguan Xiwei …"
The leader, Hu Ming, swept his gaze across the people of Spirit Ancient Village, but in the end, he only paid attention to Shangguan Chenfeng and Shangguan Xiwei. As for Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Rock and the others did not seem to pay much attention to him, let alone put him in their eyes.
"This time, Spirit Ancient Village has won. We have come to enter the Heavenly Monster Cave!"
Shangguan Chenfeng looked at Hu Mo. His expression did not change, and his voice was tall and straight.
"Is that so? It seems that no one from Spirit Ancient Village has come to the Heavenly Monster Cave for thirty years. I didn't expect that they would actually win this time. What a surprise!"
Hu Ming indifferently looked at Shangguan Chenfeng, paying quite a bit of attention. In his heart, he reckoned that the reason why Spirit Ancient Village could win this time was naturally because of Shangguan Chenfeng. It seemed that Hu Chi and Xiong Zhan of the Wild Bear Tribe had both lost to Shangguan Chenfeng.
"If you want to enter the Heavenly Monster Cave, then let's see if you have the strength. Don't say that we are bullying you people who have never been to the Heavenly Monster Cave. Let's fight one by one. As long as you can win one of the eight rounds, it will be your win!" Beside Hu Ming, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth glanced at Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Rock and the others with disdain.
"That's right. As long as you can win one round, it will be your win and you can enter the Heavenly Monster Cave!"
The remaining people of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters suddenly laughed. Their age was slightly younger than Shangguan Rock and the others, but at this moment, none of them put Shangguan Rock and the others in their eyes.
However, these young men and women of the Tribe of Tiger Hunters were a little afraid of Shangguan Chenfeng. However, they did not fear him too much. They knew that with Hu Ming present, it was enough to trample on Shangguan Chenfeng.
"Alright. You have eight people, and we also have eight people. As long as you can win one round, you can obtain the key to open the Heavenly Monster Cave. Otherwise, you don't have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Monster Cave. You should go back!"
An ancient key appeared in his hand as he spoke to the eight people from the Spirit Ancient Village in an indifferent tone.
Looking at the key in Hu Qiu's hand, Shangguan Chenfeng, Shangguan Xiwei and the others looked even more gloomy. Without the key, they couldn't enter the Heavenly Monster Cave.
"Which one of you will go first? Stop dilly-dallying. Don't tell me that the people of Spirit Ancient Village don't even have the courage to go up!" A youth sneered as he glanced at the people of Spirit Ancient Village with disdain.
"Hu Qiu, you are just a loser. What are you being arrogant for!"
Shangguan Rock stared at the youth who spoke and shouted. Back then, Hu Qiu was once a loser of his, but now, he was being so arrogant.
"Hmph!"
Looking at Shangguan Yan, the expression of the young man called Hu Qiu immediately became a little ugly. Back then, he had indeed been defeated by Shangguan Yan. Moreover, he had been thoroughly defeated.
"Shangguan Rock, if you have the ability, let's fight now. Do you dare?!"
Immediately after, Hu Qiu's face sank. Things were different now. He had been in the Heavenly Monster Cave for half a year, and his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. He was now at the sixth level of the Yuan Profound Realm. How could this Shangguan Rock be a match for him? This was the perfect opportunity for him to take revenge.
"Let's fight. Do you think I am afraid of you? I want to see how much progress you have made in the Heavenly Monster Cave!"
Shangguan Rock shouted as he stepped forward and unsheathed his sword.
Although Shangguan Rock could feel that Hu Qiu's cultivation had increased by a lot in the Heavenly Monster Cave, he couldn't escape from this situation. It was the perfect opportunity for him to test how much progress Hu Qiu had made in the Heavenly Monster Cave.
Shangguan Chenfeng and Shangguan Xiwei's eyes flickered. They wanted to say something but hesitated. They knew that Shangguan Rock might not be a match for Hu Qiu, but they had no choice. They couldn't avoid today's matter.
"Haha, you have some guts. Let this be the first match. I will deal with Shangguan Rock!"
