Chapter 164: Chapter 162 Beast Body Secret Technique (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Soon, the final scoring round reached the tenth round.

In the first nine scoring rounds, Ye Zhen, Qu Zhanqian, Gao Xinglie, and Changsun Ran each achieved nine consecutive wins, all tied for first place with eighteen points.

Ren Xihua, Bian Long, and Yue Hui each lost one match, tied for fifth, sixth, and seventh places, while Han Shi was the most frustrated, having faced both Ye Zhen and Qu Zhanqian, losing two matches and ranking eighth with fourteen points.

Although Sunx Zuohai lost to Ye Zhen, he only lost two matches and thus ranked ninth with fourteen points.

There were many disciples who obtained twelve points.

Like Cao Luo, Meng Xiaoyue, and the former ninth on the Heavenly List, Wu Ge, among others, all had twelve points.

And now, the last round of the scoring competition was about to decide who would make it into the top ten—a crucial match.

"First match, number one Qu Zhanqian against number nineteen Sunx Zuohai!" Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing randomly picked two tokens, and after seeing they had already competed once, he picked another two and announced the numbers.

Upon hearing this, Sunx Zuohai, greatly eager, was taken aback and his expression turned utterly dejected.

"Damn unlucky!"

Swearing under his breath, Sunx Zuohai stepped onto the Martial Combat Platform.

Nearby, Ye Zhen, watching Sunx Zuohai’s demeanor, gently shook his head.

Actually, in the forty-person, ten-round scoring match, there were no extreme cases. Essentially, the top three disciples in the group stage had to face those in the top ten of the Heavenly List at least twice.

The key factor was still strength.

Like Han Shi, in the first nine rounds, he had faced Ye Zhen, Qu Zhanqian, and the ninth-ranked Wu Ge on the Heavenly List, but still managed to earn fourteen points.

"Senior Brother,Gao Xinglie, I concede! I wish Senior Brother the best in achieving first place in this sect competition. I’m stepping down now."

Sunx Zuohai was straightforward, outright admitting defeat. However, this demeanor only made Ye Zhen dislike him more.

Ye Zhen had seen many arrogant individuals before, like the Black Water Pill King, whose arrogance was a form of strength and nature.

But Sunx Zuohai’s arrogance was a form of pride—he would act extremely arrogantly when facing weaker opponents and promptly change to a flattering demeanor when against someone stronger than himself.

"Second match, number thirty-one against number fourteen!"

"Third match, number forty against number eighteen!"

...

"Ninth match, number two Gao Xinglie against... number nine Ye Zhen!"

The voice of Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing paused slightly, indicating that he too was surprised by the draw pairing Gao Xinglie with Ye Zhen, but more than that, he was filled with anticipation!

With the announcement from the Seventh Elder, the entire Martial Battle Arena immediately buzzed with excitement.

"Heavenly List’s second-ranked Gao Xinglie against Ye Zhen, he surely won’t concede this time, right?"

"This time, we finally get to watch a spectacular fight and witness Senior Brother Ye’s elegance!"

The crowd, both on and off the stage, became incredibly enthusiastic because of this match.

Not far away, Qu Zhanqian’s eyes flickered with joy, "Facing Gao Xinglie, now your true strength should come to light, shouldn’t it?"

To talk about who was most focused on Ye Zhen today, it was Qu Zhanqian.

Although both Qu Zhanqian’s fellow disciple Fan Chuyu and other brothers insisted that with Qu Zhanqian’s Spirit Transformation Realm strength, it should be easy to defeat Ye Zhen...

As an enemy of Ye Zhen, Qu Zhanqian had carefully studied every battle Ye Zhen had fought in the past.

Then he was surprised to find that almost every fight involving Ye Zhen was a case of overcoming a stronger opponent.

Moreover, before each fight began, everyone else thought Ye Zhen was bound to lose—a situation very similar to his current one.

But in the end, it was always Ye Zhen who won.

Considering that his master Hong Banjiang had mentioned that there might be some secret with Ye Zhen, although Qu Zhanqian’s desire for vengeance was intense, he would not miss any chance to observe Ye Zhen’s strength.

"Senior Brother Gao!"

After stepping onto the Martial Combat Platform, Ye Zhen greeted with a bow!

"Ha, ever since you returned to the sect, your name has been reverberating like thunder, and today, I finally have the chance to battle with you!"

With a hearty laugh, Gao Xinglie leaped forward, and the moment he landed, the entire Martial Combat Platform emitted a booming sound, causing Ye Zhen’s complexion to suddenly change.

"Not at all, I humbly ask for guidance from Senior Brother Gao!"

"Not guidance, but caution, Junior Brother Ye. My martial skills are honed through bloody battles, emphasizing unstoppable momentum and every strike intending to injure. Be careful!"

As he spoke, Gao Xinglie took a step and with a booming sound at that instant, he threw a punch towards Ye Zhen.

Before the punch was thrown, Gao Xinglie appeared immensely powerful.

At the moment when the shadow of his fist moved, an invincible aura immediately surged, and as he charged, Gao Xinglie’s figure grew larger and larger, ultimately imparting a feeling of majestic mountains.

To the observer, it seemed not fists but entire mountains were crashing down from the sky!

Clang!

The Sky Crystal Sword was unsheathed, and a chilling moment arose as Ye Zhen countered with the Winter Plum Snowbreaker. The mountains immediately shattered, and an iron fist roared through the air!

Bang!

Fist and sword clashed, and Ye Zhen’s Sky Crystal Sword abruptly bent, unable to withstand the immense force. With the light from his sword, Ye Zhen smoothly retreated.

"Junior Brother Ye, if this is all the strength you possess, then today, you are destined to lose!"

Gao Xinglie, having gained an advantage with his punch, declared.

"Then please, Senior Brother Gao, try to withstand this sword of mine!"

With a flick of the Sky Crystal Sword, a straight slash of white sword Qi cleaved towards Gao Xinglie.

Flowing Cloud Like a Whip!

Gao Xinglie roared loudly, and as he threw a punch, at the very instant of the encounter, the white Sword Qi trembled strangely and took a bizarre turn, bypassing Gao Xinglie’s fist and slashing towards him!

Gao Xinglie was greatly shocked, and in a hasty response, he was forced to retreat five steps by a sword slash.

Ye Zhen, however, did not let up, continuing with another move of Flowing Cloud Like a Whip, each sword faster than the last, swiftly forcing Gao Xinglie to the edge of the Martial Combat Platform.

Just as Gao Xinglie was about to fall off the platform, he suddenly let out a roar like a beast!

"Ah!"

Within the roar, Gao Xinglie’s right hand along with his entire arm abruptly swelled and elongated, covering itself with a layer of scale-like armor, and with one swipe, he smashed Ye Zhen’s Sword Qi.

"Blazing Fire Dragon King’s Claw!"

Like a fire dragon lunging forward, Gao Xinglie’s right arm suddenly expanded to three meters not to mention, a Spiritual Power arm continued to extend, instantly creating a ten meter long arm, like the Dragon King revealing itself to the world, pressing down from a great height, covering a radius of three meters!

With a step of Chasing Star Step, Ye Zhen retreated like lightning, but still got brushed by a thick finger, making him stagger backward.

"Beast Body Secret Technique!"

"It’s actually the Beast Body Secret Technique!"

Knowledgeable martial artists exclaimed in shock.

Yet, Ye Zhen’s brows slightly furrowed.

The Beast Body Secret Technique, he was aware of it.

It was an ancient secret technique, that, through special methods, used the blood and Demon Core of formidable Demon Beasts to refine parts of one’s body into a Demon Beast Body, known as the Beast Body Secret Technique.

Some practiced it on their legs, some on their arms, and some on their torso, incredibly difficult to master, but once mastered, the power was astonishing, with few capable of matching it!

Seeing Gao Xinglie’s Beast Body Secret Technique, Ye Zhen was reminded of his own Mirage Dragon Pearl.

His Mirage Dragon Pearl could allow him to transform into certain specific Demon Beast forms, but it did not have the power of the Beast Body Secret Technique. However, this was merely the benefit that the first spatial stage of the Mirage Dragon Pearl brought to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen wanted to know, what amazing transformations would occur when the seal of the second spatial stage of the Mirage Dragon Pearl was released?

In recent years, the power swallowed by the Mirage Dragon Pearl was astonishing, especially the numerous Demon Cores, of which Ye Zhen received only a very small portion, most of it was used by the Mirage Dragon Pearl to break the seals.

"Junior Brother Ye, among the brothers, you are the first to force me to use the Beast Body Skill, just for this, you can be proud of yourself!"

At this moment, Gao Xinglie resembled a supreme Demon God, with his beastly Spiritual Power arm of over ten meters swaying, emitting waves of terrifying and fierce aura.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen laughed.

"Heh, Senior Brother Gao, I also kept a move to myself, initially wanting to give everyone a surprise, but it seems you’ve forced me to reveal it earlier!"

Without hesitation, with a thought to his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen’s late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm Cultivation burst forth immediately, his aura spiked wildly.

Ye Zhen did not want to reveal his late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm strength so soon.

But Gao Xinglie was too strong, not only was his Cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm, but the power of his Beast Body Secret Technique was also fearsome.

If Ye Zhen wanted to win, he had to either use his full strength or use the Mid-stage Spirit Summoning Cultivation to wield the Wind Cloud Sword Art.

However, the power of the Wind Cloud Sword Art was too great and even now, its power was not fully under control.

When Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was exposed, everyone on and off the platform was stunned, even Sect Leader Guo Qijing on the Observation Platform was shocked.

"Three months, from the True Essence Fifth Realm Peak to late-stage Spirit Summoning? Did he rob the Black Water Pill King?"

"Such advancement in Cultivation is simply..." Grand Elder Lut Changchuan was at a loss for words.

"Damn, what kind of speed is this? Just a month ago, there were rumors that Senior Brother Ye had broken through to the middle-stage of Spirit Summoning, and we were already astounded.

But now, late-stage Spirit Summoning, this speed, what are we, who advance one stage a year, supposed to feel!" Numerous Inner Sect Disciples were utterly shocked!

Below, Ren Xihua and Han Shi exchanged bitter smiles: "It seems, our choice was correct, luckily we didn’t fight, not seeing him for a month, Senior Brother Ye has broken through again, this is just too insane!"

"Gao Xinglie is done for!" Han Shi straightforwardly declared!

On stage, Gao Xinglie’s eyes flared with sharpness, "Just late-stage Spirit Summoning, I am at the peak of Spirit Summoning, watch this!"

His Spiritual Power Giant Hand flicked, like the sky was falling, pressing down towards Ye Zhen!

Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly soared, his late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm Cultivation bursting forth in full.

Within it, Ye Zhen, serene in demeanor, triggered his Sword Vein Divine Power, and the Sword Qi around him instantly became sharp beyond compare, the Sky Crystal Sword flashing nine times, each flash sending up a Flowing Cloud Sword Gang!

Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss!

Nine Sword Qi bursts soared into the sky, seemingly sentient, six of which flew straight up, dispersing Gao Xinglie’s beastly Spiritual Power Giant Hand.

The other three, however, suddenly took a turn, directly slashing onto Gao Xinglie’s beastly Spiritual Power Giant Hand and under the enhancement of the Low Grade Artifact, Sky Crystal Sword, directly severed Gao Xinglie’s Spiritual Power Giant Hand.

Gao Xinglie was greatly startled, and as his figure transformed, Ye Zhen’s figure soared again, another nine flashes of the sword!

Flowing Cloud Nine Flashes!

Nine Sword Qi from all directions slashed towards Gao Xinglie, and in the moment Gao Xinglie’s fists flew out, intending to shatter the nine Sword Qi, they instantly changed and gathered into the middle Sword Qi!

Nine Swords as One!

Bang!

A tremendous booming sound came, the almost bucket-thick Sword Gang from the collective strike of the nine swords, directly sent Gao Xinglie flying off the Martial Combat Platform.

A trace of crimson blood seeped from the corner of Gao Xinglie’s mouth.

On and off the platform, everyone was instantly stunned!

Qu Zhanqian, who observed without missing any detail, could not hide the shock in his eyes.

"Ye Zhen, is this your true strength? Indeed strong, but in front of me, it’s not enough!"(To be continued.
