"What's going on?"
"Are the two Tiger Head Beasts sick?"
"Sick your head! Can't you tell that they were frightened out of their wits..."
"When he said 'if you don't fall, I won't be able to pass the challenge', the two fellows immediately fell to the ground in fright..."
After a moment of silence, the crowd above went into a frenzy.
They had seen savage beasts fight to the death. They had seen savage beasts that would rather die than submit.
They had seen arrogant savage beasts that refused to give face to anyone...
But they had never seen a savage beast that simply fell to the ground and died without a fight.
Just how afraid are you all of you of this fellow?
"He didn't even make a move, but he already scared the ferocious Tiger Head Beasts into feigning death?"
Luo Tang and Fang Jin nearly bit their tongues.
Do you have to be so exaggerated?
Those are Tiger Head Beasts! They are incomparably ferocious creatures that dare to tear even Zhizun realm experts apart! Upon hearing a punch, they immediately fell to the ground and spat out saliva...
Can you be any more fake and shameless?
Where is the dignity of savage beasts?
Where is the backbone of the Tyrant of the Forest?
Where is the disposition of a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert?
Luo Tang felt as though his world had been turned upside down.
Ten minutes ago, he was still confident that he was unparalleled in the Way of Beast Taming in Xuanyuan Kingdom. But upon seeing Zhang Xuan, his worldview crumbled.
In just a few breaths, he managed to tame the Whirlwind Wolf. Yet, this fellow... completely ignored him and sent it flying with a kick.
If you don't need a savage beast, I will accept it. But... to scare the Tiger Head Beasts into feigning death with a single sentence, isn't this a little too exaggerated?
"If I were in your shoes... what would happen?"
Putting himself in the other party's shoes, Zhang Xuan immediately cried.
If he was in the other party's shoes, he would surely be scratched to death by the three beasts.
Most probably, the other party would roar loudly and feign death on the ground...
Previously, Hall Master Feng and the others thought too highly of this fellow. However, at this moment, they realized that there was indeed a huge gap between them. Furthermore, it was... a world of difference.
"I can't do it either..." Fang Jin shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even though he was a Half-Zhizun expert, he could only run as far as he could against the three Tiger Head Beasts. To him, defeating them and taming them was just a dream.
...
"The Tiger Head Beast's strongest defense is its abdomen, which involves the exertion of its entire body's strength. He used the most direct and violent method to hit here, instantly destroying its physiological structure. That's why it kept vomiting and couldn't even stand up! "
Seeing this sight, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen's mouth widened in shock. After a long moment, he slowly said, "Upon seeing this sight, the remaining two Tiger Head Beasts knew that if they were struck, they would lose their fighting prowess..."
"Savage beasts losing their fighting prowess is equivalent to losing their lives. No matter how foolish they are, they should know what to do!"
Savage beasts also knew how to avoid danger. No matter how arrogant a savage beast was, it would still know the situation. It was impossible for it to charge forward recklessly.
"Indeed, but... given the size of the Tiger Head Beast's abdomen, for such a situation to occur in a single punch, it isn't just due to one's strength. One must also have the most complete understanding of the Tiger Head Beast's physiological structure in order to find the gaps in its muscles, bones, and meridians in an instant and destroy them in a single move..."
Elder Wei Yuqing was dumbfounded as well.
That was a Tiger Head Beast! Putting aside when he was at Zongshi realm pinnacle, even now, it was impossible for him to intimidate the other party into feigning death with a single punch!
This was no longer a matter of pure strength. Only a person who had an extremely deep understanding of the life form of a savage beast, as well as a frighteningly familiar with its habits and habits, could achieve such a feat!
It could be said that Zhang Xuan had already studied the Tiger Head Beast to the extent that he had a deeper understanding of it than himself.
Is this... still a human?
A 2-star beast tamer who isn't even twenty yet... How in the world did he do it?
"If I'm not mistaken, he probably has a Tiger Head Beast as his tamed beast. That's why he is able to understand it so well. Otherwise... I really can't understand it!"
Hall Master Xie Jiuchen said slowly.
One's familiarity with something couldn't come out of thin air. One had to interact with it day and night in order to find a pattern.
Back then, there was a painter in the capital. In order to better portray the spirit of bamboo, he planted bamboo all around his house and observed it day and night. Only after twenty-seven years did he manage to produce the most charming work of art, and his name spread far and wide!
In order to understand their tamed beasts, some incredible beast tamers would even imitate the movements of their tamed beasts in order to create a cultivation technique that was compatible with them. Through this, they gained a deeper understanding of the Tiger Head Beast, thus increasing their trust in it.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. To be able to find a problem that even they couldn't think of and force the Tiger Head Beast to admit defeat, it meant that the other party's understanding of the savage beast far exceeded theirs.
Most probably, he had spent quite a bit of effort on the Tiger Head Beast.
There was a high chance that there was such a savage beast in the capital.
"Indeed!"
Elder Wei Yuqing nodded his head in agreement. Then, he turned his gaze forward, and worry surfaced in his eyes. "Given his understanding of the Tiger Head Beast, he should be able to clear the trial easily. However, the third trial won't be easy!"
"The third trial is the Half-Zhizun savage beast, 【Seven Meridians Vicious Bear】."
Hall Master Xie Jiuchen's expression gradually turned grim. "This savage beast is extremely rare, and it's nearly impossible to tame it. Thus, it's impossible for one to understand it in advance!"
"More importantly, this fellow possesses incredible strength. Even though it's only a Half-Zhizun, its true strength probably surpasses that of Ten Thousand Ding!"
"Un. The Seven Meridians Vicious Bear only has seven meridians in its body. It might seem like a small number, but this gives it a natural advantage. The fewer meridians it has, the thicker and stronger it is. If not for their sluggish movements, they would definitely be Zhizun realm savage beasts instead of being classified as a lower tier savage beast! "
Elder Wei Yuqing nodded his head.
The reason why the Seven Meridians Vicious Bear was publicly acknowledged to be a Half-Zhizun savage beast was due to its slow speed. In terms of overall strength, it was on par with a Half-Zhizun. However, in terms of pure strength, even a Zhizun realm primary stage cultivator would find it hard to match up to it.
"In order to make up for the Seven Meridians Vicious Bear's lack of speed in the third trial of the Ten Beasts Cage, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen intentionally made the cage narrow so that the challenger wouldn't be able to find an opening to sneak through. I'm afraid that it'll be impossible to pass the trial using the previous two trials!"
Hall Master Xie Jiuchen said.
Even though Zhang Xuan seemed to have passed the first two trials easily, the truth was that he had resorted to trickery.
It was only by grasping the flaws of the two savage beasts that he was able to strike the Ten Meridians Vicious Bear successfully.
On the other hand, there was no such situation in the third trial. The cage was incomparably narrow, making it difficult for one to dodge or maneuver. The Seven Meridians Vicious Bear would definitely hide its flaws behind it, making it impossible for one to strike it. No matter how many tricks one had up their sleeves, one could only face it head-on.
It was one thing if they were of the same cultivation realm, but to face two Savage Beasts of a higher cultivation realm...
The difficulty wasn't small at all.
It could be said that there was no hope of victory at all.
...
"He's probably going to stop here!"
Jiang Nanping's tightly clenched fists slowly loosened.
Seeing the Tiger Head Beast feign death in a single move had given him a huge shock.
However, the Seven Meridians Vicious Bear was different from the Tiger Head Beast.
In the narrow passageway, there was no room for trickery. Thus, one could only face it head-on.
As long as one's strength wasn't sufficient... defeat was inevitable.
From the battle between the young man and the Whirlwind Wolf, Zhang Xuan could tell that he specialized in speed. On the other hand, there were many flaws in his strength.
Just like the other side of a mirror, it was impossible for one to obtain all the benefits.
"Even a Zhizun realm primary stage cultivator is incapable of subduing a Seven Meridians Vicious Bear. He... will definitely not be able to withstand it!"
Wei Youdao shared the same opinion.
If the battle with the Tiger Head Beast in the second trial was dangerous, then this trial was filled with despair!
It would let one know that even though the other party's movements were slow, it was impossible for one to defeat it.
"Let's see what weapon he's going to use!" Jiang Nanping replied.
In this trial, weapons were allowed to be used in order to deal with a beast of immense strength.
However, there was a need for skill in choosing a weapon. If the weapon was too long, it would be difficult for one to execute it in the narrow passageway. Instead, it would become a burden. If it was too short, it would be useless against such a massive savage beast. This left one in a dilemma.
If one didn't make the right choice, it would be equivalent to giving up.
"He's already at the weapon rack. My guess is that he will choose something like a giant hammer. It's heavy and easy to execute..."
"I think it should be something like a sharp dagger. It should be easy to use..."
The duo stared at the weapon rack intently as they speculated. However, before they could finish their words, they froze.
The young man walked up to the weapon rack, and as though he didn't see it at all, he continued walking forward.
"Didn't choose? What does that mean? It can't be that... he intends to fight with the Seven Meridians Vicious Bear bare-handed? "
"Bare-Handed? Is that fellow insane? "
That was the powerful Seven Meridians Vicious Bear! If Zhang Xuan were to use his weapon against it, he might still be able to win... How could he fight it bare-handed?
This was no different from smashing an egg against a rock, he was courting death!
"It's starting... It's too late to choose now..."
While Zhang Xuan was still in shock, the young man had already walked into the range of the two Seven Meridians Vicious Bears.
Roar! Roar!
Two furious roars sounded. The two massive fellows blocked the narrow cage and glared at Zhang Xuan ferociously.
It seemed as though they were going to tear the cage apart.
"Not only does the Seven Meridians Vicious Bear possess immense strength, its defense is invincible as well, on par with the Tiger Head Beast. Furthermore, it's placed in such a narrow place... This trial is indeed difficult!"
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze forward.
Based on the knowledge he had learned, there were more than ten thousand words describing this savage beast. He knew how fearsome and powerful it was.
If he hadn't cultivated the Heaven's Path Golden Body 2-dan, it would have been difficult for him to deal with it. But now, it wasn't a problem at all.
As for his weapon...
He had only learned spear art, sword art, and saber art, but they were all too sharp. If he were to accidentally kill them, wouldn't the Beast Hall come after him?
Even in Xuanyuan Kingdom Beast Hall, Half-Zhizun realm savage beasts weren't a common sight.
"Alright, let's hurry up. I still want to earn more spirit beast blood essence..."
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing before one of the Seven Meridians Vicious Bears. Placing his hands together, he grabbed the arm of the huge fellow.
"Rise!"
With a ferocious roar, Zhang Xuan flung the bear into the air.
"..."
"What kind of battle technique is this?"
Wei Youdao, Jiang Nanping, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen, Grand Elder Wei Yuqing, and the others were dumbfounded.
