Chapter 700: 609 Shen Long vs Elite_1

"No, just curious."

Huo Tianxing said.

"Madam Qin, if I’m not mistaken, Young Friend Shen is practicing the Hundred Beasts Manual, isn’t he? However, why doesn’t he transform into other monster beast forms to pass the trial?"

Ni Hongshan asked curiously.

Qin Yan nodded, "Shen Shizhu is indeed practicing the Hundred Beasts Manual. As for why he doesn’t transform into other monster beast forms, I’m not sure."

"Taoist Friend Ni has good eyesight! To be able to tell that Shen Shizhu is practicing the Hundred Beasts Manual!"

Chen Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

"I fought alongside Taoist Friend Xu from your Qianling Sect, who also practices this martial art."

Ni Hongshan explained.

Chen Xuan suddenly understood and said no more.

"Taoist Friend Shen has been standing for thirty breaths now, is his Art of Transformation so resilient?"

Ni Tianhe said in surprise.

"He’s an Alchemist, so he must have consumed plenty of body-forging elixirs. It’s normal for his body to be stronger," Shangguan Zilong said, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

Inside the Thousand Beast Tower, the Yellow Giant Ape was covered in blood, with bones faintly visible in some areas.

A gust of wind blew past, and the Green Wind Falcon appeared above the Yellow Giant Ape’s head, with its sharp claws aiming straight for the ape’s head.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s arms shone with a bright yellow light as it met the attack.

The Green Wind Falcon’s claws pierced through the Yellow Giant Ape’s arms, and blood gushed out.

"I admit defeat," said the Yellow Giant Ape, reverting to human form.

As soon as the words left its mouth, the Green Wind Falcon turned into specks of spiritual light and disappeared, and Shen Long was also teleported out of the Thousand Beast Tower.

Qin Yan raised her right hand, and a green jade box flew out, landing in front of Shen Long. She said, "Shen Shizhu, quickly consume this superior Blood Apricot Pill to heal."

Shen Long thanked her, accepted the green jade box, went to an open area, opened the box, and saw a blood-colored pill with twelve pill patterns on its surface.

He put the blood-colored pill in his mouth; the elixir melted upon contact, and he hurriedly cultivated to refine the potency of the medicine.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long finished his practice and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Taoist Friend Shen, are you alright?"

Chu Buyu’s concerned voice rang in Shen Long’s ears.

"I’m not seriously harmed."

Shen Long said with a slight smile, replying through transmitted voice, and returned to his own spot.

At this time, Soul Transformation Cultivators were still attempting to pass the Thousand Beast Tower, with most stopping at the ninth layer; a few reached the tenth layer but gave up in less than five breaths.

"It seems that Taoist Friend Shen will get a good ranking in this trial."

Ni Tianhe praised.

"Relying on the Art of Transformation, I just stayed a bit longer,"

Shen Long said modestly.

"Madam Qin, Zilong would like to spar with Young Friend Shen, I wonder if you’d permit it?"

Shangguan Yunshang asked.

"Spar?"

Qin Yan was slightly startled and after pondering for a moment, she transmitted to Shen Long, "Shen Shizhu, Shangguan Young Friend practices the Shangguan Family’s clan technique, the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Art, and he is a Body Cultivation practitioner. Do you think you can manage?"

"I would like to give it a try,"

Shen Long said through transmitted voice.

Qin Yan nodded, "That’s fine."

"Tianhe, you should also spar with them,"

Ni Tianting suggested.

"Master Nephew Wang, why don’t you join in the fun?"

A full-figured woman in a red dress said.

Fairy Qianhuo had ascended from the Qian Yang Realm to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, and she was Chu Buyu’s only fellow sect member in the Divine Weapon Sect.

"Yes, Master Aunt Lin,"

Wang Lian responded.

"Master Nephew Li, you should go as well!"

Liu Guang instructed.

The Shangguan Family, the Ni Family, the Divine Weapon Sect, and the Big Dipper Pavilion were all long-standing major forces; the Qianling Sect didn’t have the same depth of resources as them.

Ni Hongshan raised his right hand, and a yellow-light circulating stone platform flew out, swiftly enlarging as it landed on the ground.

"During the exchange, stop at the point of contact, without dealing a deadly blow."

Ni Hongshan said.

"Taoist Friend Shen has not been lightly injured, and we are all body cultivators. Let’s decide the winner with two moves, how about that?"

Shangguan Zilong spoke up.

"No problem."

Shen Long agreed.

They flew onto the yellow stone platform, and as Ni Hongshan formed a spell, a thick yellow barrier popped into existence, enveloping the entire yellow stone platform.

Shangguan Zilong’s body shone with bright green light, and the phantasms of a green flood dragon and a green giant tiger appeared around him as his hands turned into dragon claws.

Shangguan Zilong let out a skyward long howl, a deafening dragon chant that sent forth a green sonic wave, rushing straight toward Shen Long.

Shen Long’s body radiated a brilliant yellow light, transforming into a yellow giant ape. With its huge mouth open, it sent out a yellow sonic wave to meet the oncoming attack.

The yellow and green sonic waves collided and annihilated each other, distorting the void.

Shangguan Zilong’s figure flickered, appearing in front of the yellow giant ape, his right fist pounding straight toward the ape.

The yellow giant ape, fearless, swung its right fist to meet the attack.

Their fists collided with a loud bang. Shangguan Zilong was sent flying backward, while the yellow giant ape stepped back two paces.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Yunshang’s eyes, and the cultivators present showed shock on their faces.

They had thought that Shen Long’s Art of Transformation only gave him thick skin and flesh, not anticipating that his Qi Strength was so strong.

Shangguan Zilong landed on the ground, his face full of shock. He clearly understood that Shen Long stepping back two paces was to save his face. Being able to knock him flying with a single punch indicated that the opponent’s strength still surpassed his.

"Let’s call it a draw!"

Ni Hongshan said.

Both Shangguan Zilong and Shen Long had no objections and agreed.

"Taoist Friend Shen’s Qi Strength is so strong? Taoist Friend Shen, let’s settle it with one punch," Ni Tianhe said gravely.

After Shangguan Zilong left the yellow stone platform, Ni Tianhe stepped onto it.

His body emitted a strong blue light and "crackling" sounds echoed as his bones trembled. His body swelled, and his right fist surged with blue light, smashing toward the yellow giant ape.

The yellow giant ape swung its fist, colliding with Ni Tianhe’s fist, and the same scene played out—Ni Tianhe was sent flying while the yellow giant ape stepped back two paces.

Void Refining cultivators such as Qin Yan naturally saw that Shen Long was holding back; there was no need for him to take those steps back.

"I’m not a body cultivator, Taoist Friend Shen. Can you take one of my moves head-on?" Li Xing asked.

"No problem."

Shen Long agreed.

Li Xing flicked his sleeve, and five flying swords flickering with white light shot out. As he formed a sword spell, the five white flying swords merged into one, transforming into a massive sword glowing with ceaseless white light, hurtling toward the yellow giant ape.

The yellow giant ape shone with brilliant yellow light, an additional thick yellow earthen armor coating its body, as its right fist went forth to meet the oncoming attack.

The white massive sword and the yellow giant ape’s fist collided, making a clangorous impact. The yellow earthen armor shattered, and the white giant sword was sent flying back, reverting midway into five white flying swords.

"How is this possible? How can the physical body be so strong?" Li Xing exclaimed in amazement.

"I’ve consumed quite a lot of Blood Dragon Rice, so it’s normal for my body to be stronger," Shen Long explained.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you also possess a fifth-grade Spirit Flame. Let’s compare Spirit Flames!" Wang Lian suggested.

"Alright."

Shen Long agreed.

Wang Lian opened his mouth, and a clump of golden flames flew out, transforming into a thick-waisted golden fire flood dragon, lunging toward Shen Long.

Shen Long opened his mouth, and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, morphing into an enormous green fire phoenix, rising to meet it.
