Initially, Zhang Xuan only intended to test the waters, but to think that it would work. Excited, his eyes lit up and he flipped through the content.
"Offspring of otherworldly beings and spirit beasts, born in Hongfeng Empire's Wangyuan Mountain, Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm... Flaws:..."
"To think that it isn't a pureblood Otherworldly Demon but... the offspring of spirit beasts?"
Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes in confusion.
Given how powerful that fellow was, to be able to suppress a 4-star master teacher with just its disposition... and it was only a hybrid... how powerful would a pureblood be?
Besides, to produce offspring with a spirit beast... Wasn't the Otherworldly Demons way too hardcore?
Recalling the bloated bodies of spirit beasts and this fellow... Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shudder in fear.
"But even though it has unique tastes, I have to admit that this fellow is indeed powerful!"
According to the description in the book, the Otherworldly Demon possessed incredible physical strength and soul. In a battle of the same cultivation realm, it was on par with master teachers. In fact, untrained master teachers wouldn't even be able to get close to it.
It was no wonder why Mingshi Tang was so fearful of it. It seemed like the Otherworldly Demon was on a completely different level from humans.
"My Heaven's Path zhenqi doesn't fear pressure. I just have to walk within five meters of it and wait for a moment!"
He had just caused the collapse of the Ghost Domain Illusory City, and he was currently in the eye of the storm. Even though the pressure of this trial was useless against him, it was still better to maintain a low profile.
In any case, it was just a selection round. It wasn't like there was a ranking, so there was no need for him to attract too much attention.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan made up his mind and turned his gaze to the crowd.
While he was reading, he was already at the back of the group. Quite a few of them had already closed in on the Otherworldly Demon, and they were only five meters away from it.
Even though they seemed to be persevering from their expressions, the fact that they were able to get so close to it showed their courage and determination.
It was no wonder why they were chosen by the various powers. These master teachers did possess extraordinary mental fortitude and talent.
"Luo Xuan is indeed at the very front..."
The one walking at the very front was Luo Xuan of Fleeting Cloud Sect. This fellow was said to be the most likely champion of this tournament, and from the looks of it, it was indeed possible.
From afar, he had already crossed five meters, and he could be considered to have passed.
As for his acquaintance, Song Chao, he was only a few steps behind him. Ruohuan gongzi, on the other hand, had surprised Zhang Xuan. He was actually at the very front and could be considered as one of the top few.
"Should I go there now or wait for a while? Forget it, there's no rush. Let's take a look at this guy's flaws first! "
Seeing that no one had come within five meters of him yet, Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He continued to flip open the book and read on.
There were a lot of flaws in this thing, so he didn't finish looking at it. In any case, he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he might as well wait quietly for a while. It wouldn't be too late to go over when everyone was about five meters away.
…
Offstage.
"Not bad, Ruohuan. I didn't expect you to amaze everyone right from the start!" Elder Su stroked his beard.
"Indeed, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is fearsome to begin with. Even if I were to go up there, I might not be able to match his current results!" Ling shi remarked.
This was their first time seeing an Otherworldly Demon as well. Even though they were seated beneath the stage, they could still feel the violent killing intent emanating from the Otherworldly Demons.
Hearing the compliments of his two old friends, Pavilion Master Kang chuckled. "It seems like my words have worked!"
"Oh? Pavilion master, what did you say to motivate him so much that he charged straight to the top? "Su shi and Ling shi asked curiously.
What kind of words could induce such a huge change in a person?
Even though Ruohuan gongzi had improved tremendously recently, he was still lacking when compared to the top geniuses of the other sects.
"I said that you should go up and exert your strength without worry. Is there anything more fearsome than Zhang Shi in the world? If you aren't even afraid of him, what else is there to be afraid of? "Pavilion Master Kang stroked his beard.
"Cough cough..."
Su shi and Ling shi staggered speechlessly.
But thinking about it, even though these words weren't pleasant to hear, they were indeed words of wisdom.
A fellow who could even destroy the Ghost Domain Illusory City in two to three minutes could no longer be considered a monster. If even he wasn't afraid of the other geniuses, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Just that... to use fear of Zhang Shi to counter one's fear of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe... Why did it feel a little weird?
"Right, why isn't Zhang Shi moving at all? It can't be that he succumbed to the pressure? "
After a moment of silence, Su shi frowned.
It had been a few minutes since Zhang Shi stopped, but he hadn't moved at all. It couldn't be that he succumbed to the pressure, right?
"Indeed. No matter how talented he is, he's still too young. I'm afraid that he might be too fearful of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe..." Ling shi nodded.
"I don't know what's going on either. I've thought about the same thing as well, but more importantly..."
Pavilion Master Kang shook his head. "Don't... cause any trouble!"
"Cause trouble? I don't think so. The Otherworldly Demon is so powerful that even you and I aren't a match for it. On top of that, he's only a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan... Furthermore, the test only asks him to advance a few steps forward. It'll be difficult for him to cause any trouble! "
Su shi shook his head. "You don't have to worry!"
"Let's hope so..."
Pavilion Master Kang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly froze. Pointing forward, he exclaimed, "Damn it, look!"
Hearing Pavilion Master Kang's anxious tone, Su shi, Ling shi, and the others hurriedly turned their gazes over, and their eyes narrowed.
As Luo Xuan and the others stepped into the five-meter radius, the Otherworldly Demon, whose eyes were tightly shut a moment ago, suddenly opened them, and a bizarre glow emanated from his crimson eyes.
"Using me to temper your courage, you are courting death!"
Roaring furiously, the massive body of the Otherworldly Demon jolted. Following which, everyone felt a strong gale crushing down on them, threatening to crush them.
The voice was as deafening as thunder, shaking one's soul.
"Ah..."
The master teachers at the very front were the first to bear the brunt of the force, and they cried out in agony. Their bodies went limp, and they fell to the ground with pale faces.
Luo Xuan wasn't spared either. His body stiffened, and it felt as though his soul had left his body.
"Lowly lifeforms, how dare you capture me and make use of me? I'll eat every single one of you..."
Roaring furiously once more, the Otherworldly Demon's crimson lips parted, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. It felt as though they would be torn into meat paste if they were to approach it.
"Ah... I don't want to compete anymore..."
But before the roar could finish, a master teacher's face paled, and he immediately fled.
A pungent stench and a bizarre liquid were left on the ground.
After one escaped, a second and a third soon followed.
Seeing 4-star master teachers and geniuses being frightened to the point of wetting their pants, the crowd fell silent. Even though they felt that it was beneath them, no one thought that they were cowards!
That was because... if they were in their shoes, they wouldn't have fared any better.
Even when the Otherworldly Demon didn't speak, it was already frightening enough that no one dared to approach him. Now that he was roaring furiously, it seemed like he would make a move at any moment. It would be a miracle if they could hold on.
"To think that trash lifeforms would be able to rule over the entire continent. No wonder they are so weak!"
Seeing that someone had fled, all of the master teachers on the stage collapsed weakly to the ground. The Otherworldly Demon harrumphed disdainfully. Just as he was about to drive the group of master teachers away, he suddenly saw a young man standing calmly on the spot, seemingly in the midst of something …
In a daze!
In a daze?
Aren't you here to temper your courage? What in the world are you in a daze for?
Furthermore, I have been shouting and driving my killing intent to its limits. Even a half 5-star master teacher would find it hard to withstand the pressure, and yet, a lad like you isn't affected by it at all?
With a livid face, the eyebrows of the Otherworldly Demon shot up as he gathered his aura and bellowed furiously at the dazed Otherworldly Demon.
"Lad, you sure are gutsy, aren't you? Do you believe that I will kill you right here and now... "
Hualala!
His voice swept across the area like a raging gale, and a 4-star master teacher beneath the stage fell from his seat. His eyelids rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
The 4-star master teachers who had fallen to the ground earlier also hugged their heads tightly, not daring to breathe loudly.
However...
The young man whom he had targeted was still standing quietly on the spot, completely focused... in a daze!
It was as though the other party hadn't noticed that he had already targeted him once!
"I will kill you!"
Not expecting the arrogant Otherworldly Demon to be disregarded by a mere master teacher, the crowd was thoroughly enraged.
Back then, when Hong Shi tried to capture him, he had to pay a heavy price, mobilizing more than seventy master teachers before he succeeded.
In that battle, he had personally torn more than twenty of them apart and severely injured more than thirty of them. His killing intent was so overwhelming that even the 5-star Hong shi was fearful of him. Yet, a 4-star primary stage fellow actually dared to ignore him...
He was going too far!
Hong long!
An even more powerful aura gushed forth. Feeling this aura, even Hong Shi's face paled. On the other hand, the young man before him was still... in a daze.
It was as though being in a daze was what he should be doing. Whatever pressure and killing intent he was facing, they were nothing more than fleeting clouds.
"This... I knew that Zhang Shi would cause trouble, but to think that... it would be for real!"
Pavilion Master Kang, Su shi, and the others suppressed their pale faces and trembled uncontrollably.
Naturally, that young man was Zhang Xuan.
They had long expected that the other party would cause some trouble, but who could have thought that he would really do it?
The other party was an Otherworldly Demon, and even they would find it hard to withstand his killing intent. Yet, he was actually making a move against you... Shouldn't you at least give a reaction as a form of respect? What in the world were you up to?
"It can't be that... Zhang Shi fainted from fear!"
"Fainted from fear? How can he still stand after fainting? I saw him raising his head just a moment ago... "
"If he didn't faint, what else could he have done? Look, the Otherworldly Demon over there is on the verge of spurting blood. Why isn't there any reaction at all?"
"This... I have no idea either!"
They weren't the only ones who noticed the problem. Many of the master teachers and spectators in the square had also noticed it, and they stared at one another in astonishment.
The Otherworldly Demon had used a unique ability to intimidate all of the participants, causing them to collapse to the ground, not daring to utter a single word.
Yet, before Zhang Shi, it was howling, baring its fangs, and brandishing its claws... Yet, the latter didn't react at all...
Brother, are you not afraid, or are you already dead?
