The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Xuangui Zhenren’s Arrangements, Shi Lei’s Embarrassment

Xuangui Zhenren gave a mysterious smile.

“Fairy Ning asks a good question. I thought this birthday celebration was not quite interesting enough, so I made a decision with the lady beforehand, to hold a friendly competition right here on the spot.”

“The winner will receive a Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead that is a hundred years old!”

Upon these words, the entire place was astir.

Huo Yunjie’s eyes shone bright.

His reason for coming out this time was twofold: first, to complete the Elders’ mission, and second, for training and experience.

If he could participate in an exhilarating battle today, his bottleneck would loosen significantly, and the difficulty of breaking through would be greatly reduced.

Thinking this, Huo Yunjie said in a deep voice, “That’s excellent, I want to participate.”

“I’ll take the stage,” Long Tianxing also couldn’t wait to try.

Ning Yujie looked at Long Tianxing with surprise, considering his cultivation level was just on the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, he had no chance of winning the competition.

The Sect Master of the Huli Sect immediately asked, “City Lord, is there a cultivation restriction for this sparring match? If not, then I would want to take the stage too!”

“Indeed, although I am but an old bone here, I too want to measure my skills against the fellow Taoists present.”

Other Element Gathering Realm practitioners or Demon Generals began to speak up one after another.

A hundred-year-old Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead had a market price of eight hundred lower grade Spirit Stones, and even for cultivators at their realm, it was somewhat tantalizing.

Xuangui Zhenren raised his hands and slowly pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

“For this competition, us old bones won’t take the stage. We should leave some opportunities for the younger generation. Therefore, only those below the Element Gathering Realm and Demon Generals are allowed to take the stage. Take note, Demi-transformed Demon Beasts are also allowed to participate.”

Xuangui Zhenren stated the rules.

Upon hearing that Demi-transformed Demon Beasts were also allowed, the assembled Dog-headed Creatures, Pig-headed Persons, Bull-headed Persons, Rabbit-eared People, and other Demi-transformed Demon Beasts rubbed their hands together in anticipation, ready to take the stage.

“Also, this sparring session will be conducted in the form of a king-of-the-hill challenge. Whoever can hold on until the end, he will be the real man, and also the winner!”

Xuangui Zhenren added this detail.

Everyone’s expression stiffened.

Since it was a king-of-the-hill battle, whoever went on stage first would be at a disadvantage.

For a moment, no one moved.

Then, the Yuebang Lady laughed and said, “I’ve used the Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead to brew some Spiritual Liquid, which can quickly replenish exhaustion. If the defender is over-exhausted, they can drink some Spiritual Liquid in advance to replenish themselves.”

“Is there such a good thing?”

Everyone’s enthusiasm was reignited.

Since there was Spiritual Liquid to help recovery, equating to always being in peak condition, there was no need to worry about the sequence anymore.

With a rumble!

A burly man with a tiger’s head stepped into the center of the hall and said, “I’ll go first, who’s going to challenge me?”

Xuangui Zhenren hit the Tiger-headed man on the forehead with a wine cup, laughing and scolding, “You blockhead, the platform is outside the hall, go out and fight!”

“Oh, the junior understands.”

The Tiger-headed man looked embarrassed and scratched his head sheepishly.

Everyone gradually left the hall.

In the open space, there was a platform measuring thirty meters in length and width.

“Who dares to fight me, Fatty Tiger?” The Tiger-headed man jumped onto the platform, shouted, and then crossed his arms, waiting for a challenger to appear.

At that moment, Shi Lei said to Long Tianxing and Huo Yunjie, “My defense spiritual artifact is very strong. Later on, I can go up and wear out a wave for you two.”

Long Tianxing’s expression changed slightly and he hurriedly stopped Shi Lei who was about to go on stage, saying in a grave voice, “Big Brother, think carefully, what is your defensive spiritual artifact made of? In such circumstances, can you bring it out?”

Shi Lei was taken aback.

He had only one defensive spiritual artifact.

It was the Mysterious Turtle Shield.

And Xuangui Zhenren, wasn’t he the Mysterious Turtle?

If he went on stage to spar with a defensive spiritual artifact refined from a Mysterious Turtle shell, wouldn’t that be like slapping Xuangui Zhenren’s face in public?

Realizing this, Shi Lei backed down at once.

“In that case, you two go on stage, and I, along with Junior Brother Ping An, will cheer you on.” Shi Lei sat in place, not even daring to show his spiritual artifact, fearful of provoking Xuangui Zhenren’s anger.

“Uh-huh! I will cheer for the two senior brothers,” Wang Ping’an nodded repeatedly.

Huo Yunjie and Long Tianxing instantly felt a chill running down their spines and quickly covered Wang Ping’an’s mouth, saying in unison, “We think it’s more appropriate for you to cheer for our opponent.”

Ning Yujie stood on the side, full of puzzlement.

“I’ll take you on!”

Just then, a Wolf-Headed Man jumped onto the platform and instantly transformed into a Giant Wolf standing two meters tall, exuding a powerful oppressive aura.

“A little wolf pup wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, Fatty Tiger?” The tiger-headed stout man, Fatty Tiger, roared and transformed into a three-meter-tall colorful giant tiger, slightly fat, with a fierce grin on his face.

“Being large doesn’t mean being strong,” the Giant Wolf hunched down, suddenly spewing out a burst of ice, freezing the arena.

“Roar!” Fatty Tiger leapt into the air, dodging the ice and instantly appearing above the Giant Wolf. His tail swept across like a blade, causing the Giant Wolf to howl in pain.

Then, with a heavy slap of his tiger paw, the Giant Wolf was sent flying out of the ring.

“Ouch!” The Giant Wolf fell outside the arena, completely no match for Fatty Tiger.

“Good!” The Sect Master of Huli Sect laughed heartily.

Seeing this, everyone furrowed their brows.

Fatty Tiger had already reached two-thirds of the Transformation Stage and was among the strongest of all demi-transformed demon beasts present.

Defeating him would be fraught with difficulty.

“Let me take you on!”

Another demi-transformed demon beast took to the stage.

This was a two-meter-tall white rabbit, completely hairless, with two long ears standing upright on its rabbit head and sporting a pair of large buck teeth.

His muscles were robust, with fists the size of sand pots, capable of swinging rapidly, exuding an extremely fearsome aura.

“Wild Fist Rabbit, it’s you!”

Fatty Tiger stared at the robust rabbit standing on two legs and let out a cold laugh, “Do you think you can defeat Fatty Tiger just because you’ve learned the ‘Wild Combat Fist’ from the Human Race?”

“Why not try it and find out?” Wild Fist Rabbit said indifferently.

“Try it and you’ll die!” Fatty Tiger scoffed.

A tiger’s roar sounded.

Fatty Tiger reached Wild Fist Rabbit’s side in an instant, his heavy tiger paw fiercely striking down and lifting a fierce gust of wind.

Not to be outdone, Wild Fist Rabbit punched rapidly, successfully deflecting Fatty Tiger’s tiger paw and then striking a heavy punch on Fatty Tiger’s chin, forcing him to stumble back.

“What’s going on here?” The Sect Master of Huli Sect slapped his thigh in anger.

“Tiger Roar Shakes the Forest!”

Fatty Tiger, furious, let out a loud roar, and a fierce tiger phantom formed by the convergence of blood qi appeared behind him and charged at Wild Fist Rabbit with swift steps.

Crack!

Despite Wild Fist Rabbit’s rapid punches for defense, he was still hit by the blood qi tiger and sent flying out of the ring.

“Hahaha, Fatty Tiger is invincible, go ahead and try!”

Fatty Tiger stood upright with his arms crossed, mimicking a human crossing their arms, looking very leisurely. Many women in the audience suddenly turned their faces away, blushing.

“Shameless!”

Ning Yujie scolded out loud.

Only then did Fatty Tiger realize his gaffe and hurriedly put on a tiger-skin coat to cover his nakedness, continuing to wait for other challengers.

“Next up, I’ll take on you, Fatty Tiger!”

A voice came from below the stage.

A five-meter-tall Brown Bear stepped onto the stage, its bear paws rubbing together, revealing a cruel smile.

“Tch, a mere clumsy bear is hardly a match for Fatty Tiger,” Fatty Tiger said with his arms folded, letting out a strange “giving giving giving” laugh.

“Roar!”

The Brown Bear pounced forward, unaffected by Fatty Tiger’s blood qi giant tiger hitting it and emerged unscathed. Its heavy bear paw smacked down, causing Fatty Tiger to cry out in pain and quickly scramble away.

“Big clumsy bear, you’ve provoked me, now see my Fatty Tiger Meteor Fist!”

Fatty Tiger roared, his body swelled to twice its size, finally matching the Brown Bear in stature, a set of nimble combo punches swelling the Brown Bear’s nose.

Then, with a sweeping leg kick and another move, Fatty Tiger Charge, he successfully knocked the Brown Bear off the platform.

“He’s won three consecutive matches; so strong!”

The people below the stage frowned even deeper.

Fatty Tiger was indeed too strong. At first glance, he seemed a bit chubby, but in reality, all that was iron-hard muscle, and with nimble movements, he was virtually invincible in close combat beneath the Element Gathering Realm.

“Who else?”

Fatty Tiger stood in the ring, looking around ferociously, as those demi-transformed demon beasts he held in contempt avoided eye contact, unwilling to step up.

“I’ll do it!”

A slightly immature voice rang out.

Everyone followed the sound, and their eyes landed on a frail young man with silver hair and blue eyes. They were all stunned for a moment.
