The Great Seminary

Chapter 425 Instant Kill
The Kunlun Great Battle Arena is a dedicated arena for 'battles between civilians and warriors', and there are a total of thirty-six arenas of varying sizes.

Named after the "Four Symbols"—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—they are divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Grade C has four seats, Grade B has three seats, and Grade A has two seats.

Among them, the Black Tortoise is engaged in naval battles, the Vermilion Bird in aerial battles, and the Azure Dragon in land battles, while Zhang Gui is in the White Tiger Yi San, which is a place of "melee".

He appeared as a lone warrior.

No ferocious demons appeared; instead, the circular audience platform was filled with faces of all kinds.

It seems that they had just experienced an excessively intense and bloody demon-fighting performance.

Most of the onlookers vented their emotions excessively and satisfied their psychological needs, leaving them feeling exhausted and listless for a time.

It's like attending a banquet. After enjoying the main meal, there are usually fruits and snacks. You'll still eat them, but you won't be as 'looking forward' to them anymore.

Their gazes became unfocused.

Only in the stands closest to the arena and with the clearest view of the 'martial arts demonstration' were the strikingly tall Bo Longchunshen and the slightly nervous Zhen Ciyun.

His eyes were fixed intently on Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui strolled leisurely to the center of the arena, as if he were picking green leaves in spring.

She spotted the audience in the stalls first and waved to Zhen Ciyun with a smile.

Then, he activated the 'pillar' within his body, transforming it into a minor saintly energy that manifested as a Dharma form.

In an instant, the shadow behind him changed from horizontal to vertical.

It continued to expand, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall humanoid shape resembling black mist.

Hundreds or even thousands of thick arms appeared and disappeared in the fog, carrying enormous heads.

Then, strange phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, vines, and roots appeared.

Upon witnessing such a boisterous and spectacular opening, the spectators in the arena immediately perked up, their listless expressions vanishing.
"This one looks even more formidable than the goddess Bolong who just took the stage!"

Two matches, two matches in a row, both featuring such strong fighters. Tsk tsk tsk, the ordinary 'battle of the common people' is more open and exciting than the 'real martial arts battle' at the end of the year. You might believe it…”;
"This once-in-a-decade spectacle is truly something to watch, and this is just the beginning."

The next few days will surely be even more exciting. Leaving aside everything else, the Weaver Girl's "Star-Pointing Ceremony" alone will be a "colorful" event...
"I wonder which ancient god this is in his true form, it looks incredibly powerful!"
The changes in the leader, the limbs, the celestial phenomena, and the geography are all very strange, hmm, they feel strangely powerful…

As the spectators predicted, the outcome was already decided before the fight even began.

And reality has indeed unfolded in this way.

The two earthworms, which were hiding in the soil, dared not show their faces anymore.
Zhang Gui still commanded the numerous heads that evolved from the 'Infinite Heads' of the Divine Cluster, spewing out thousands of crisscrossing streams of steam downwards.

In an instant, it 'plowed' the entire arena and 'steamed' the earth demon into mincemeat.

Then, he calmly dispersed his Dharma image and waved triumphantly in greeting.

Once the magic array around the Demon Fighting Arena stopped, he summoned a whirlwind and flew towards the pool seat.

Landing beside his lover, he arrogantly asked, "How powerful is my Dharma form?"

Before Zhen Ciyun could even reply, Bo Longchunshen's deep, muffled voice came through, "Let's not talk about whether you're incredibly powerful or not."

"You put on such a show of force, yet you only killed two earthworms and then 'stopped'? Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?" Zhang Gui asked, taken aback.
“When I signed up for the ‘People’s Struggle’, I didn’t choose the so-called ‘continuous victory’.

"Talk first, then don't argue; just fight once. No problem there."

Seeing his sharp tongue, Bo Longchun glared at him fiercely.
"Then you shouldn't have made such a grand spectacle, trying to destroy a small dam with overwhelming force. How ridiculous and infuriating!"

"Alas, Lord Bolong, you are mistaken. The struggle between humans and demons is extremely serious. Even in the 'Demon Arena,' where the martial arts are half-real and half-fake, one must use the 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' to achieve the desired effect."

These are the teachings of the ancient sage Confucius.

Zhang Gui felt that Bo Longchun was clearly meddling in other people's business, and said with a pursed lip and a solemn expression.

His escalation of the issue left Bo Longchun speechless.

After a moment of silence, I didn't want to say anything more.

But seeing Zhang Gui and his lover chatting smugly, he couldn't help but say:

“Brother Xiongbing, you are being polite, so I have nothing more to say.”

But look at the audience on stage, are there any who aren't annoyed with you?

Birds of a feather flock together, and people of similar social standing group together. By acting like this, you're not just losing face for yourself.

That's absolutely infuriating!

Zhang Gui came to the "People's Courage Battle" just to "establish a persona" in front of the Queen Mother of the West.

The principle was to demonstrate a certain level of skill in one go, appearing authentic while minimizing any flaws, so I didn't think about anything else.

At this moment, after being repeatedly "enlightened" by Bolong Chunshen, he looked around for a while and found that quite a few people were indeed casting dissatisfied glances at him.

Although he felt he was right and that Bo Longchun was overthinking things, he hesitated because they were all members of the 'Xia Que' clan, and said dryly:
"It seems I was indeed a bit rash. Please forgive me."

"Would you be willing to join me in another 'doubles' match later to regain the face we've lost?"

Upon hearing this, Bo Longchun's voice softened considerably, and he seized the opportunity to make a request.

"You can also familiarize yourself with the various rules of the 'People's Bravery Fight'."

Seeing that she was pushing her luck, Zhang Gui shook his head vigorously, resolutely refusing:
"Then there's no need. The 'Battle of the People and Warriors' at the Kunlun Great Battle Arena is unparalleled in the world."

Since we've come all the way to Kunlun, it would be a little regrettable not to give it a try, but trying it once is enough.

I am not of an ostentatious or competitive nature, nor do I have any ambition to contend for supremacy; a little exploration is enough for me.

After saying that, he ignored Bo Longchun and turned to continue chatting with Zhen Ciyun as they gazed at the arena with great interest.

Then appeared the same group of burly young men who had been arguing with the servants at the Kunlun Great Demon Arena in the White Tiger Cave.

The earth demons that fought them to the death were a group of baby-sized 'cat-leopard fleas' and a 'one-headed mud elephant' that was clearly not yet an adult.

At the start of the battle, the young men all brandished their twelve-foot-long spears and moved about in a crisscrossing pattern.

The shadow of a 'battle formation' was faintly visible.

Slowly approaching the Earth Demon, it occasionally thrust its spear at the eager cat-leopard fleas.

Although seven or eight out of ten shots will miss, the remaining three or two shots may actually create a wound on the cat-leopard flea.

In an unintentional exchange of blows, he impaled a cat-leopard flea that couldn't dodge in time onto the tip of his spear.

This drew a sparse burst of applause and cheers from the stands.

Someone in the stalls even took the opportunity to make a pointed, sarcastic remark:
"Although this shooting technique was a coincidence, it was truly executed with care."

Unlike those powerful but ultimately pointless individuals who, after crushing a couple of ants, smugly stop—how ​​utterly boring!
