Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him

Chapter 234 What is that?

The existence of the internet often allows people to participate in many things remotely, thus bringing strong resonance and excitement.

Today, the world is either a paradise for strange beasts or divided up by the Great Shang and Great Zhou dynasties, with only a handful of powerful nations surviving.

International exchanges have naturally decreased, and with people feeling anxious, even domestic demand has not been particularly strong.

People began to seek psychological support or fleeting thrills.

This also led to the hunting movement occupying a very important place in the public's mind.

And the hunting operation lived up to expectations, not only developing rapidly itself, but also driving the development of a series of related industries.

It injected a powerful boost into the lives of people who were heading towards silence and despair.

It's hard to say whether there was any official tacit approval involved; amidst the chaos, something was always needed to divert public attention.

Mu Yanglangjun's hunting activities sparked a frenzy of celebrity worship.

Tens of thousands of spectators flocked to the event venue on the East China Sea coast.

Hundreds of millions of viewers watched the live video stream online.

The whole event was even more lively than the Spring Festival Gala.

Before the ultimate beast-hunting operation, Mu Yanglangjun accepted interviews from television stations and major media outlets.

Hundreds of microphones, forming a barrage of lenses, were all aimed at the handsome man in front of them, who, although over forty, looked like a vibrant young man.

"I've heard that this eight-clawed beast is the king of the near seas. Previously, five Dharma Aspect experts attacked it, but it escaped and even injured several of them. I wonder what your opinion is on this beast, young master?"

A reporter asked the question.

"Mythical beasts are innate creatures favored by heaven and earth. They are nourished by true energy for decades or even hundreds of years, so their strength is naturally beyond question."

"Could it be that you, sir, are not entirely confident of victory?"

One provocative reporter couldn't help but ask a counter-question.

"This is what I'm about to say. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings. Even though I've only cultivated for a few decades, I'm confident I can face these high-level beasts with pride. Just wait and see!"

After finishing speaking, True Lord Muyang turned and walked into the rest room.

The reporters quickly turned to the camera lens and shared their opinions on the matter.

"Sister Ying, here you go, a candied hawthorn."

Outside the venue was a bustling market, where many attendees strolled and shopped.

Just then, a rather handsome young man carrying a bag of candied hawthorns ran quickly to a woman and eagerly handed her a candied hawthorn.

The woman smiled gently as she took the food and then brought it to the boy's lips, letting him take the first bite.

"Damn it, that's enough, Zhao Ke!"

Beside the two, another man with thick eyebrows and long hair spat out and said unhappily.

"Zhao Xin, please address me as Second Brother!"

The boy called Zhao Ke chuckled smugly.

Judging from their names, these two are none other than Zhao Rui's younger brother Zhao Ke and cousin Zhao Xin.

"Damn, if you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight."

"You? You're not good enough. If you want to fight me, you'll have to beat Sister Ying first."

"Holy crap! I've never seen anyone so shameless."

"There's nothing we can do, these are the conditions. If you're so capable, why don't you ask our brother for a bodyguard?"

"Hehe, is it possible that our brother thinks you're too useless!"

""

'

Zhao Ke's face flushed red, and he began to fight Zhao Xin with his fists.

"That's enough for you two."

The woman standing nearby, Sister Ying, also known as Cao Yingcai, the "female grandmaster" that Zhao Rui brought from Guixu, quickly stepped in and separated the two.

The two decided to call it quits, grunted twice, and ignored each other.

"I was just being a fool and asked you to come along."

Zhao Ke turned her head away, looking annoyed.

"Then let's go our separate ways. Who wants to be with you?"

Zhao Xin was not to be outdone.

Cao Yingcai looked at the two of them and felt a headache coming on. Although they were not much different in age, the gap between them and Zhao Rui was enormous.

He still has the temper of a child.

Thinking of this, Cao Yingcai couldn't help but shake her head.

"Let's go and get a good spot, otherwise we won't be able to see the footage of us going out to sea later."

Seeing that the two had been sulking for a long time, Cao Yingcai tugged at them and pulled them toward the viewing platform by the sea.

There is a huge display screen here that can play live footage of the hunt in the open sea.

Of course, if you have enough money or resources, you can rent a large armed cruise ship to go there and see it up close.

However, the consequence of this choice is that you assume all the risks; the organizers will not guarantee your safety.

That can't be guaranteed either.

In a battle between a high-level level four beast and a top-tier evil master, who can guarantee safety?

Although the risks are great, the world is never short of bold and capable people.

A total of thirty armed cruise ships followed the ship carrying Mu Yanglang towards the open ocean.

"I really envy them for being able to watch the battle up close. It's a rare and spectacular fight—by the way, do you think Big Brother can beat Mu Yang Langjun?"

Zhao Ke suddenly asked a question on a whim.

"When I was in Guixu, I also heard my seniors mention Muyang Langjun. They said he was a top expert in the Dharma Aspect Realm with formidable strength. Mr. Zhao should be no worse than him, right?"

Cao Yingcai said with a slight hesitation.

She wasn't entirely sure, since she had never seen the two of them go all out.

However, subconsciously, I still felt that Zhao Rui had a better chance of winning, after all, he was too mature for his age.

Those bright eyes were like a deep pool, unfathomable.

"I also think my brother can win!"

Zhao Ke chuckled.

"What a boastful tone! Who is your brother? Give me your name so we can see. You're just spouting nonsense, saying you can beat Mu Yang Lang Jun."

Just then, a handsome man with earrings and light makeup standing next to them suddenly chuckled and said to the group.

Beside the man were five or six companions, both men and women, all of whom were handsome and fashionably dressed young people.

"My brother isn't involved in these entertainment businesses, so it's normal that you don't know him."

Zhao Ke snorted and retorted.

"In the entertainment industry?"

"Ha ha!"

The man with the earring sneered at his companion, then turned to Zhao Ke and said, "Everyone in the beast-hunting operation earned their rankings through hard-earned battles. None of these rankings are based on the blood of monsters. How can you say they're just doing this for entertainment?"

"Hey kid, do you want a beating?!"

The man with the earring stood up instantly and moved closer to Zhao Ke.

Seeing this, Cao Yingcai took a quick step and rushed between the two. With a gentle push and a soft tug, she knocked the other back to his original position.

"High-level Grandmaster?"

The man with the earring paused for a moment, stopping his companion who had stood up behind him, and then looked at Zhao Ke and said, "So you're a freeloader, relying on women? No wonder you're so arrogant."

.

"Who said that? I—"

Zhao Ke looked indignant and stood up to step forward, but Cao Yingcai blocked her from behind with one hand.

"go back!"

At this moment, Zhao Xin also came over, grabbed Zhao Ke, and said, "Don't cause trouble for your brother."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ke calmed down and sat back down in her seat, somewhat annoyed.

"It's just watching a game. Everyone has their own opinions. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll meet again someday. Goodbye!"

.

Zhao Xin pointed his fingers like a sword and struck three times in mid-air. Three sword energies flashed by and struck the wall in the distance, leaving three small pits.

This sword energy caused the expressions of the people opposite to darken.

The man with the earring bowed silently and led his companion back to their seats.

They have already chosen to settle the matter peacefully.

After all, there were two Grandmaster-level experts on the other side, who were clearly not to be trifled with.

After a brief interruption, everyone resumed looking at the large screen in the distance.

The screen showed that Mu Yanglangjun's ship had arrived at the designated ocean location, which was more than 500 nautical miles from the shore.

It is said that the eight-clawed beast would wander to this place every once in a while to prey on a kind of small, schooling fish.

This fish has delicate and sweet flesh, making it a favorite of octopus-like creatures.

"The designated sea area is just ahead. The eight-clawed beast is over two hundred meters long, and it is said that the largest tentacles are over three hundred meters long. We'd better stay a bit further away."

Cruise ships and speedboats that had been following Mu Yanglangjun stopped or moved a distance away.

On the entire ocean, within a radius of ten miles, only Mu Yanglangjun's ship remained, floating on the sea.

"My lord, radar indicates that a large target is approaching, suspected to be an eight-clawed beast."

On the ship, the staff looked at the radar and reported to Mu Yanglang.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Mu Yanglangjun reached out and beckoned, instantly drawing a judge's pen from afar into his hand.

"Watch me capture demons and subdue monsters!"

After saying that, he swayed and leaped off the ship, hovering more than twenty meters in the air, quietly staring at the distant sea.

He could already sense a terrifying aura approaching at breakneck speed.

"Wow, it's finally starting."

"The odds have risen to 20 to 1!!"

"This is going to be a good show. If he wins this match, he will be the number one martial artist."

"Not necessarily the number one. It's said that many sects have experts at the Domain Realm; those are the true top-tier forces."

"What Domain Realm? Never seen it, it's all just hearsay. If they really existed, why don't they come out and show it to them?"

"It's nothing more than various sects putting on a show of wealth and trying to make themselves look good."

"I still think Mu Yang Lang Jun is the best in the world, at least he dares to step forward and show himself to us."

As the strange beast drew closer, the crowd on the coastal viewing platform immediately began to discuss it animatedly.

Some people guessed the outcome, some discussed who had the better martial arts skills, and most cheered.

"Whoosh!"

These noisy sounds didn't last long, as a giant octopus-like creature, larger than a football field, appeared on the screen.

The entire scene fell silent.

After a brief silence, a deafening gasp of surprise erupted.

"So big!"

"What a huge beast! It must be at least 300 meters long!"

The gasps of surprise from the crowd, accompanied by the aerial shot of Mu Yang Lang Jun, fell silent once again.

Because Mu Yang Langjun made a move.

With his hands hanging at his waist, he swayed and a giant ape, two hundred meters tall, appeared.

As soon as the giant ape appeared, it leaped down from mid-air and charged directly at the eight-clawed beast that was half-hidden in the sea.

The eight-clawed beast was leisurely wandering around, searching for food along the way, when it suddenly sensed a threat. It immediately waved its tentacles, revealing the ferocious suckers and sharp fangs within them.

The giant ape waved its hand, and the judge's pen in its hand, which was like an embroidery needle, grew longer in the wind, eventually becoming an iron cone more than a hundred meters long, which it grabbed at the eight-clawed beast.

The eight-clawed beast extended its tentacles and quickly wrapped them around the giant ape and the iron spike in its hand.

"Oh no! The giant ape is entangled! What do we do?"

The onlookers, whether they were at the scene, on the shore, or watching the live broadcast, all broke out in a cold sweat.

"You underestimate high-level Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators too much."

Some people scoffed and dismissed their overreaction.

"The Dharma Image True Man has long transcended the realm of illusion and reality; he possesses a multitude of skills."

"Let's wait and see!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the giant ape vanished into thin air, only to reappear beside the eight-clawed beast in the blink of an eye.

This time we got even closer to the eight-clawed beast.

The octopus was furious, and suddenly jets of water shot out from its body, increasing in number until they formed a dense cluster of water jets that enveloped its body.

Once these water columns appeared, Mu Yanglangjun was no longer able to use the Dharma Immortal's unity of reality and illusion to gain the upper hand through displacement.

I underestimated you!

A smile appeared on Mu Yanglangjun's lips as he charged fiercely towards the eight-clawed beast.

This time, he did not conjure up a complete true form, but instead used parts of his true form to conjure up images, either attached to his legs or his fists.

Then, taking advantage of his size, he suddenly entered the "domain" of the eight-clawed beast's water column.

The man and the beast fought a fierce battle, causing the sea to surge and the surrounding energy to become chaotic.

The entire camera screen crackled and sputtered due to the ionization caused by the intense reaction of true energy.

The camera kept stopping and starting, making it extremely unstable.

"Such strong internal energy interference. Although cameras have been upgraded with technology, these two are still too powerful."

In the commentary booth, the invited guests provided their analysis of the battle.

"I've switched to the super anti-interference signal, and the signal is much better now."

"Wait a minute, what's that?"

Just as the camera panned across the screen, a guest shouted in shock, completely forgetting that a live online broadcast was taking place.

Upon hearing his voice, everyone looked at the screen in confusion, only to see the man dart to the front of the screen behind him and ask the director to zoom in.

As the camera zooms in, the person points to a spot in the upper right corner, which is where the sky is projected in the viewfinder.

There was a winding black dot there, moving very fast.

"What's the big deal? It's just a difference in pixel quality."

"It's probably birds or dark clouds or something. You're making a big fuss over nothing."

The other guests shook their heads, saying they felt he was just trying to attract attention.

"No, I didn't see wrong. Look, isn't its trajectory heading towards the location of Mu Yang Lang Jun and the others?"

"You're making a big fuss over nothing. So what do you think it is? It can't be a spaceship, can it?"

"No matter what it is, I feel that if I can still see it from this far away, it must be quite large."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, but then they all shook their heads.

Clearly, they weren't interested in this topic.

Not only the commentators on site, but also the audience off-camera expressed their dissatisfaction on the screen.

"Get out, you old man! We want to watch the live broadcast, not your nonsense."

"What does it have to do with us? Quickly cut the camera, I want to see my husband."

Amidst the crowd's agitation, the host could only smile and say to the man, "Professor Zhang, let's move on from this topic and continue discussing the two sides in the conflict."

After speaking, the host signaled to the director to switch back to the normal broadcast.

Soon the screen showed the scene of Mu Yang Lang Jun fighting the eight-clawed beast again.
