The Bullfighting Palace was the second palace of the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces. Just like its name, the Bullfighting Palace naturally tested the traditional skill of bullfighting.
However, it was different from the bloody Spanish bullfights before the Great Calamity. The Bullfighting Palace didn't require the sword bearers to stab the bull's body and bleed it to death.
What the Bullfighting Palace tested was something you definitely wouldn't expect, and that was to let you put on clothes for the bull.
That's right, you didn't see it wrong. It was to let the sword bearers put on clothes for the bull.
The basic layout of the Bullfighting Palace was similar to the Spanish bullfights. It was a large circular venue with rings of spectator stands in the surroundings.
Meanwhile, the participants had to stand in the bullfighting arena and put on clothes for the enraged bulls.
According to the rules of the Bullfighting Palace, the sword bearers had to put on two bull horns and a specially made vest on the bull's back. At the same time, they had to firmly install a bull saddle. The most ridiculous thing was that the sword bearers had to put on stockings for the bull's four legs.
That's right, you didn't see it wrong. They had to put on four pairs of stockings for a raging bull.
The stockings made of specially made alloy nylon could not only withstand the pulling force of over ten tons, but they could also perfectly display the graceful lines of the bull's legs.
Imagine what kind of beautiful scenery it would be when a majestic bull was wearing two pairs of black stockings that revealed the luster of flesh.
Just imagining it would make everyone's blood boil!
Logically speaking, this kind of rule was already very sick. Even if it was an ordinary bull, it would be hard for famous sword bearers to make the bull obediently wear these clothes with their abilities.
What was even more sick was that the bulls in the Bullfighting Palace weren't ordinary bulls. They were genuine Yuan Kou bulls.
Do you still remember the five-colored divine bull that Gu Han had once killed in the "Rise from the Ground" instance … Of course, Bullfighting Palace wasn't perverted enough to let these famous sword level sword wielders put on silk stockings for the flood dragon level Yuankou with their bare hands.
These Yuan Kou bulls were only hybrids born from the mating of a five-colored sacred bull and an ordinary cow. At most, they were equivalent to a tiger-level Yuan Kou.
However, even if it was a tiger-grade Yuan Kou, its strength was still five times that of an ordinary bull. It was obvious how difficult it was to put silk stockings on such a bull.
When Guhan arrived at the stands, a match had just begun.
This contestant was a female sword wielder. She looked gentle and weak, and she wore a pair of glasses. She naturally gave off a delicate feeling.
In particular, her body was shivering, which caused the spectators in the stands to boo.
Because there could only be one match at a time, and each match needed five minutes, there were a few hundred sword wielders lining up at the spectator stands of Bullfighting Palace to wait for their match to start.
If every contestant took a full five minutes, Guhan wouldn't even have a chance to go on stage by this time tomorrow.
Of course, if it was a contestant who had already passed Bullfighting Palace's match, they could skip this match and head straight to the third palace.
Otherwise, there wouldn't just be a few hundred sword wielders lining up.
Therefore, when they saw the female sword-bearer trembling there, the surrounding sword-bearers immediately began to clamor. They all said that if she was afraid, she should quickly give up so that they wouldn't waste their time. They were already impatient from waiting, and so on.
Facing the shouts of these sword wielders, the female sword wielder shivered even more violently, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to say a soft word.
It was also at this moment that the cage at the side of the field suddenly opened, and a furious blood-red bull rushed out. It didn't have any hesitation and was like an enraged tank. It swung the sharp horns on its head and charged at the female sword wielder.
"Eh!
It's actually a red bull. "
"It's over, this fellow is going to suffer.
I told her to give up just now, but she didn't. Great, she doesn't even have the chance to give up now. She might even have to break an arm or something. "
The two sword wielders standing beside Guhan whispered to each other. It was obvious that they didn't think highly of the female sword wielder.
There was a reason why they didn't think highly of her. It was because the female sword wielder was very unlucky. She was challenging a red bull.
Just from its name, one could tell that the five-colored divine bull had five colors on its body. They were red, yellow, green, blue, and black.
When the five-colored divine bull mated with an ordinary cow, the mixed-blood born wouldn't be able to inherit all five colors of the five-colored divine bull. It could only inherit one color.
Each color represented a different power, and the corresponding mixed-blood bull also had different powers.
Red represented absolute power. This bull's power was twenty times that of an ordinary bull, and four times that of a mixed-blood bull. A ten-ton tank was like a light piece of wood in front of this bull.
If they were hit by this bull head-on, even the Ancient Sword Maiden's protective shield would shatter in an instant.
This type of bull was the most difficult to deal with among the five types of bulls. Their powerful strength made it very dangerous for other sword bearers to touch them. Trying to put stockings on these bulls was as difficult as overturning a tank with your bare hands. Moreover, you could be crushed by the tank's tracks at any time.
According to the statistics of busybodies, among the five types of bulls in Bullfighting Palace, the red bull had the lowest success rate. It was only 3.8%.
Among the five types of bulls, the yellow bull had the highest success rate. It had a success rate of 12.1%.
This was because the weight of the yellow bull was 20 times that of an ordinary bull. However, it was also the least active and most lazy of all the bulls.
Because their physical strength was not enough to support their heavy bodies, every step they took consumed a lot of their physical strength. After walking three or four steps, they would stand still and rest for a while. If they were lucky, they would even take the initiative to lie down and expose their two pairs of hooves. At this time, putting on stockings for a bull was almost as difficult as putting on stockings for your girlfriend, provided that you had a girlfriend.
In reality, almost all the sword wielders present didn't think highly of this unlucky kid in the bullfighting ring. However, a glimmer of light flashed in Guhan's eyes.
This was because he realized that this female sword wielder wasn't really afraid. Her fear was just an act. As for why this woman was doing this, Guhan had a very reliable guess. In short, it could be summed up in one word: pretentious.
Well, this was the so-called pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Sure enough, when the furious red bull rushed in front of the woman, everyone thought that they would see a wonderful human bouncy ball. However, something that made everyone's eyes pop out happened.
"Go away!
Don't come near me! "
The woman reached forward and directly grabbed the bull's two horns. Then, she gently twisted them down.
The bull, which was like a heavy tank just now, now became a light pillow. The woman directly threw it to the ground. Then, she kicked the bull's neck with her knee. Apart from constantly shaking its pitiful tail to prove that it was still alive, the bull couldn't do anything else.
Then, under the dumbfounded expression of all the onlookers, the woman easily put the two horns on the bull's horns. Then, she directly sat on the bull's stomach, grabbed four of the bull's legs, and very roughly pulled up the two pairs of black stockings. Finally, she forcibly pulled the bull up and placed a saddle on the bull's back.
In just two minutes, the whole process of dressing the bull was completed. When the woman released the bull, it was already too late.
The bull was as obedient as a puppy, looking at the terrifying woman with its large, teary eyes filled with fear.
The woman nodded, and the bull carefully walked into the cage step by step, feeling wronged like a 150 kg naughty child.
"What is this?
Innate divine strength?
Is this the strength that a normal person should have?
I'm also a f * cking Famed Sword Tier sword wielder. How come I don't even have 1/10 of her strength? "
The onlooker standing beside Guhan, who had previously patted his chest and guaranteed that the sword wielder would be finished, now had a mournful expression on his face. He really couldn't understand how a Famed Sword Tier sword wielder could have such terrifying strength.
"It's the Sword Butcher!"
Guhan said softly. In this world, there were no mutated humans. Humans could only rely on sword maidens to strengthen their bodies.
Therefore, it was impossible for a Famed Sword Tier sword wielder to have the power to suppress a red bull.
There was only one possibility, and that was that this sword wielder's sword maiden had an innate ability to suppress bulls. In turn, her sword wielder could easily suppress a powerful bull.
There were many sword maidens in the world that could suppress certain types of Yuan Kou, but there was only one sword that could suppress a bull like Yuan Kou, and that was the legendary Sword Butcher.
The Sword Butcher itself wasn't very famous among the Famed Sword Maidens. It wasn't a famous sword maiden, either. Ninety percent of the sword wielder in later generations had never heard of this sword.
This was because this natural sword maiden had been broken in a battle long ago. Together with its master, it fell into eternal slumber on the battlefield.
Because the Sword Butcher disappeared too early, there were many records that didn't mention its name at all. Only someone like Guhan, who was very familiar with history, could dig out the name of the Sword Butcher from old records.
If Gu Han's memory served him correctly, the Butcher Sword should have been broken in a battle thirty-three years later, and its owner was one of the most tragic swordbearers in history, the Scarlet Sword Fairy.
