Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 239 Shocking Change

With this stomp, a crack immediately appeared on the arena beneath Yu Changsheng's feet. Amidst the tremor and the immense explosive force, Yu Changsheng's body crackled with lightning.

He was like a world-shaking sword drawn from its sheath, his hand clenched into a fist, shimmering with the light of earth and stone. His fist was covered by a thousand-mountain armor, which added a sense of weight. A continuous stream of immense power surged out, and he threw a punch at Tang Chen!

"Thousand Mountains Fist!"

A whistling sound came from his ears, and the wind was torn apart by the enormous force of the punch. The moment the two collided, Tang Chen's fingers suddenly snapped, his face changed drastically, he was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Click, click..."

Tang Chen gritted his teeth, looking at his three broken fingers. He looked up at Yu Changsheng, who remained calm, and staggered backward, his arms trembling slightly. A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

In this attack, he was at a disadvantage, far inferior to the opponent.

"Your physical body...is not right!"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Chen's voice was heavy, and he unconsciously took another step back, separating the two.

As a beast tamer, it's astonishing that someone could forge their physical body to this extent, achieving Foundation Establishment in the physical body. This is a rare feat even among the inner disciples of the Spirit Dragon Sect.

No wonder he was able to destroy the Tang family single-handedly!

A hint of anger flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.

"Your physical cultivation is impressive; you shouldn't be underestimated."

Yu Changsheng remained calm and spoke softly, looking at Tang Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered a cultivator of the same realm whose physical body was strong enough to withstand his punch without exploding.

It has to be said that Tang Chen is quite capable; even if his physical body hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, he's not far off.

The two clashed briefly, but at an extremely fast pace, so much so that some people in the audience couldn't even see their movements. Only a few were able to keep up, like Yang Chengxu, whose eyes narrowed instantly.

"Terrifying physical strength... It's even stronger than Tang Chen's, and it looks like it was just a casual punch."

"If you encounter him, you do need to be careful. But right now, it all depends on whether you can get past Tang Chen. He is one of the top disciples in the inner sect of the Spirit Dragon Sect."

Yang Chengxu did not lose faith in Tang Chen just because Tang Chen was temporarily at a disadvantage.

Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand physically, Tang Chen acted decisively. After retreating rapidly, he waved his hand, and three spirit beasts appeared on the stage.

"The Gale Two-Headed Wolf!"

"Dark Spirit Terrorclaw Bear!"

"Blue-and-white venomous scorpion!"

As soon as the three-headed beast appeared, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd below, all drawing closer attention.

"These three spirit beasts all possess the strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and their quality is all above average. This Tang Chen is no ordinary person!"

"I didn't expect it to be so exciting so early on. Let's see how Yu Changsheng handles it!"

Below the stage, Li Minghan's eyes narrowed slightly, his fists clenched, and a sense of nervousness flashed through his mind.

As for Zhang Tianwen, he simply turned his head and suddenly looked at Yang Chengxu opposite him. The latter smiled slightly at him, and Zhang Tianwen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Not bad, I never imagined that the most powerful person in the Tang family was here."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng dared not be careless. With a wave of his hand, three spirit beasts were summoned from the inner realm.

"Red Snake!"

"Colorful Star Deer!"

"The Golden-Winged Eagle!"

In an instant, the situation on the field became a fair battle between one person and three beasts against one person and three beasts, and the air seemed to become tense.

"These two have both contracted with three spirit beasts? That must be a considerable burden on their mental strength and spiritual awareness!"

"It seems both of them have trained their beast taming skills very well; they're both geniuses in beast taming!"

"Now it all comes down to whose beast taming coordination is better and stronger!"

"I still have more faith in Tang Chen. That Dark Spirit Terrorclaw Bear is known as the land overlord among the second-tier."

"Heh heh, that Golden-Winged Eagle and the Colorful Star Deer are no ordinary beasts either; they both have high-grade bloodlines among third-tier demonic beasts!"

Below the stage, gazes darted between the two, and whispers rippled through the crowd.

While it's not impossible for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage to contract with a three-headed spirit beast, generally speaking, considering factors like time and energy, most people still choose to contract with two spirit beasts and focus on cultivating them.

After all, contracting three second-tier spirit beasts is a burden for the beast tamer. Second-tier spirit beasts are far superior to first-tier spirit beasts, and the requirements for the beast tamer's inner vision are several times greater.

"This Tang Chen is considered one of the elites of my Spirit Dragon Sect. I didn't expect that your Myriad Manifestations Sect, besides Zhang Tianwen, also has a genius like Yu Changsheng. He can even cultivate the Crimson Serpent to the second level, and it doesn't seem weak at all. He has good potential."

"It must have been replaced, or perhaps it incorporated the bloodline of other snake-like demon beasts. That's interesting."

On the judging panel, Mu Yongxian looked down at Yu Changsheng, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Isn't Tang Chen from your Spirit Dragon Sect also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, yet so low-key?"

Mo Pengchen frowned, his face hardening, and gave a curt reply.

"Look, Peak Master Mo shouldn't interfere in this kind of competition among the younger generation."

Mu Yongxian smiled slightly, shook his head, and watched the game with an air of composure.

Mo Pengchen was surprised, his brows furrowed even deeper, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

On the arena, as the three beasts clashed, Yu Changsheng and Tang Chen were not idle either, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.

"puff……"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of madness flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"Yu Changsheng, you killed my entire family and exterminated my entire clan. My Tang family was destroyed because of you. This hatred is irreconcilable. Today, even if I lose all my cultivation, I will still kill you with my blade to appease the spirits of my deceased relatives."

With Tang Chen's low roar, a resolute look appeared in his cloudy eyes. He slammed his fist down on his chest, and an astonishing wave of energy surged and emanated from his body.

The effects of the medicine sealed within his body took effect wildly. In an instant, Tang Chen's aura surged, his entire body erupted with cyan energy, and his face flashed with a ferocious and conflicted expression, as if he were in great pain.

A faint aura of blood and qi emanated from his skin, condensing into a faint red glow. His blood seemed to boil and surge upwards.

"Aho!"

Tang Chen's face was contorted, his body trembled slightly, and his aura climbed steadily from the fifth level of Foundation Establishment to the sixth level, eventually settling at the seventh level!

"Blood Explosion Pill?! Using such a forbidden drug is unacceptable!"

Mo Pengchen's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, a surge of anger rising within him. He waved his hand, about to go on stage to personally stop Tang Chen.

"Master Mo, please don't be anxious. Which rule says that you can't take pills during the competition?"

Mu Yongxian reached out to stop Mo Pengchen, his expression calm, clearly not surprised by the scene.

"Mu Yongxian! What do you mean?!"

Mo Pengchen frowned, and anger appeared on his face.

"The competition doesn't prohibit the use of restorative pills, but banned drugs like the Blood Explosion Pill seriously affect the fairness of the competition. Besides, you, Mu Yongxian, are well aware of the side effects of this pill. He is a disciple of your Spirit Dragon Sect. Do you really want to ruin the future of such a promising disciple because of this?!"

Faced with Mo Pengchen's anger, Mu Yongxian's voice suddenly deepened, and he abruptly stood up, letting out a cold laugh:

"What do you mean? The competition? Have you seen Mo Pengchen clearly? Don't you know what evil things your little genius has done?!"

Rumble!

An awe-inspiring aura emanated from Mu Yongxian, the pressure of his Golden Core rising to the heavens. This aura continued to climb, eventually condensing into a world-shaking sword that pressed down on Mo Pengchen.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"Your disciple is ruthless and cruel. Because of a personal grudge, he slaughtered all of my sect's disciples Tang Chen's relatives in Dongyang City. How could Tang Chen, a disciple of my sect, stand idly by and watch such a heinous crime go unpunished?!"

Mu Yongxian suddenly launched an attack, and every word he uttered was enhanced by magical power. His voice carried immense power, and it not only reached the two of them, but also spread throughout the entire Beast Taming Peak, resounding through the sky.

"What?"

"Yu Changsheng wiped out the Tang family of Dongyang City, all by himself?"

"Are you kidding me? Tang Chen, the Tang family—this feud is irreconcilable!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the disciples on and off the stage changed drastically. The way they looked at Yu Changsheng was completely different, and a clamor arose, with voices of discussion rising and falling.

"Nonsense!"

Mo Pengchen's face was ashen, his expression full of rage. Feeling Mu Yongxian's pressure, he did not back down. Instantly, his aura as a peak Golden Core cultivator also rose up, stirring up the wind and clouds, and he stood up to Mu Yongxian.

"You say my sect disciple Yu Changsheng killed Tang Chen's entire family, but what evidence do you have? You're just spouting nonsense, letting me tell you whatever I want."

"Evidence? You'll know when the time comes if you ask Yu Changsheng. I didn't expect your sect's disciple to be so ruthless at such a young age?"

"However, since you've put it that way, then let me show you clearly whether I'm talking nonsense or you're just being unreasonable!"

After Mu Yongxian finished speaking, he gave a cold laugh, clapped his hands, and said indifferently, "Huo Weiyi, come up and tell me what you saw as the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged figure flew out from the Linglong Sect disciples' side, came to the two of them, and bowed respectfully.

"I am Huo Weiyi, the head of the Huo family of Dongyang City. I have the honor of greeting you two esteemed individuals."

"Hmm," Mu Yongxian nodded and said calmly, "Huo Weiyi, tell me, did Yu Changsheng destroy the Tang family? How did the Tang family of Dongyang City disappear?"

"Okay." Huo Weiyi's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of bitterness flashed deep in his eyes. After letting out a soft breath, he focused his mind, glanced at Mo Pengchen, whose face was pale, and spoke.

"I am Huo Weiyi, the head of the Huo family in Dongyang City. I testify that three months ago, Yu Changsheng came to Dongyang City because of news of the Azure Luo Beast. Ultimately, driven by his own selfish desires, he killed all the Foundation Establishment cultivators, including the head of the Tang family, to seize the Azure Luo Beast, leading to the destruction of the Tang family!"

Huo Weiyi felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, he had witnessed Yu Changsheng's strength and did not want to provoke him easily. It was just a pity that he had no choice when facing a behemoth like the Spirit Dragon Sect.

Now that he realized he had completely offended the Myriad Manifestations Sect, he had no choice but to tell the truth and pray that Mu Yongxian could protect him.

As expected, these words caused another uproar among the already noisy crowd.

"What?! Yu Chang single-handedly wiped out the entire Tang family?! The Tang family of Dongyang City isn't a small family; they have several Foundation Establishment cultivators!!"

"No wonder Tang Chen looked at Yu Changsheng with such a bitter and resentful expression. He really did have such a deep grudge against him?"

"Is Yu Changsheng's strength really that terrifying?"

Hearing the disciples' discussion, Mo Pengchen's face darkened, and his sharp gaze fell on Huo Weiyi. Huo Weiyi immediately shrank back and took a few steps back.

"Now that things have come to this, Peak Master Mo, do you still intend to intervene? Your Myriad Manifestations Sect disciple wiped out my disciple's entire family, and I haven't retaliated, which is already out of respect for you, Peak Master Mo."

Mu Yongxian stepped forward, his tone suddenly changing: "It's best for me to handle my own affairs. Whatever grudges they may have, fate will decide after this battle."

"You...!" Mo Pengchen's face was ugly, he pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, but he felt a little helpless.

Mo Pengchen completely believed what Mu Yongxian said. In fact, he had heard rumors about this matter, but he hadn't paid any attention to them.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yongxian would launch an attack at this moment, aiming to prevent him from taking action and to kill Yu Changsheng openly and in front of so many people.

"So this was your plan..." Mo Pengchen slowly closed his eyes, understanding dawning on him, and sighed softly.

How could he not know the true purpose of the Spirit Dragon Sect?

Originally, the Linglong Sect came to this competition with the purpose of suppression. But what kind of suppression is more effective than my sect's disciples killing your sect's genius disciple on your territory?

If such a thing were to actually happen, it would not only chill the hearts of the other disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, but would also completely ruin the sect's reputation.

This is probably what they mean by "killing someone by destroying their spirit."

Even knowing this, Mo Pengchen had no choice. The conversation had already gone this far, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to interfere further.

Clearly, the nature of this match has changed; it's no longer just a match, but a battle, a life-or-death struggle.

It was clear that the feud between the two was irreconcilable, and only this battle could resolve it.

Now that things had come to this, Mo Pengchen couldn't say anything more and could only pray in his heart that Yu Changsheng would win.

Otherwise... his Beast Taming Peak would be completely unable to hold its head high in front of the Spirit Dragon Sect.

Thinking about all this, Mo Pengchen sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. His brows furrowed as he looked at the noisy crowd, feeling irritated. He pressed his arm down, and an oppressive aura immediately descended.

"Quiet!" Mo Pengchen shouted in a low voice, and under his faint aura of authority, the originally noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.

"Hehehe." Seeing this, Mu Yongxian chuckled and shook his head, saying calmly, "Peak Master Mo, please calm down. As I said before, let them handle these juniors' affairs themselves. Just watch quietly."

"Don't worry, I won't intervene unless you do. As for the outcome, let fate decide."
