Under the gazes of thousands of people, a red-faced big man flashed out from among the many young martial artists in the Tournament Area.
He had a rather ferocious look.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
"Zhu Hou!"
Menglin also looked at the red-faced burly man curiously. This was the first time he heard of this surname, so he probably wasn't a cultivator from the Sacred City.
"On the second platform, the two contestants are No.900 He Yu and No.4256 Tan Xian!"
"The third platform …"
Soon, Grandpa Lin took out several nameplates from the wooden jar one after another.
As a result, the first to fifth towering platforms were formed.
"The sixth platform …"
At the same time, Xi Zhiwei also began to draw the candidates for the sixth to tenth platforms.
A moment later, the twenty contestants who were going to fight for the first time all flew up to the high fighting ring and waited for their turn.
Especially Menglin and the others in the Grand Tournament area, they all stared at the platforms above.
It was hard to say whether one of the twenty contestants who were about to fight would become his opponent later on.
Roar!
The red-faced burly man on the first platform suddenly roared and activated the power of his True Core.
His cultivation had reached the Seventh Tribulation of the Real Pellet Realm.
"Li Can is in trouble now!" The people from the Li Sect couldn't remain calm.
"Hehe, his cultivation is actually two levels lower than mine!" Zhu Hou obviously didn't know that Li Can was the Young Master of the Li Sect, so he was a little arrogant.
"Stupid pig!"
Li Can, who was despised by the other party, was already furious. He felt as if the blood in his body had been ignited.
No matter how much of a wastrel he was, he had the blood of the Li Sect's bloodline.
However, flowing in his body was the blood of a Supreme Being from the Li Sect. How could he tolerate the ridicule of a lowly and poor barbarian?
"Come out!"
Li Can, who knew that his cultivation was inferior to the other party, immediately cast a defensive martial technique.
In an instant, a somewhat ethereal fire shield appeared in front of Li Can.
The fire shield was incomparably hot, and there was a vague image of a ferocious beast on it.
"Sukun Fire Shield?"
"It's actually the Sukun Fire Shield?"
For a moment, many cultivators exclaimed.
That was because the Sukun Fire Shield was the innate ability of the Sukun Bear, a descendant of the fire elemental ancient ferocious beast. Its defense was astonishing.
While countless people were guessing, Menglin was stunned. He did not expect that Li Can's Sukun Fire Shield would cause such a huge commotion.
It seemed that divine ability seeds were truly rare!
"You?"
Seeing Li Can display the Sukun Fire Shield, Zhu Hou, who felt the pressure, no longer had the arrogance from before.
On the No.1 Fighting Platform, Zhu Hou, who had been absent-minded for a moment, pondered for a moment before he made up his mind.
The importance of this competition to him was self-evident. Even if his opponent was a disciple of a wealthy family, they could forget about snatching the qualification from him.
"Ying Tu Ya!"
The determined Zhu Hou exuded an even more brutal and vicious aura as he executed his strongest killing move.
In the blink of an eye, a fang-shaped blade formed from the violent Fire Element energy appeared in front of Zhu Hou.
Chi!
Zhu Hou controlled the Hero Butcher's Tooth and stabbed it viciously at Li Can.
"Hmph!"
Li Can snorted coldly. Although Li Can was only at the Real Pellet State Fifth Tribulation, he still had a lot of trump cards as a direct descendant of the Supreme Li Sect.
Whoosh!
Li Can didn't panic at all, and a thin piece suddenly appeared in his hand.
This irregular thin piece was crimson all over. It was less than half a meter in length and width, but it exuded a terrifying pressure.
Nearly 100,000 cultivators gathered under the arc-shaped platform were all extremely curious, but few people knew the origin of this crimson piece in Li Can's hand.
"Shang Long's reverse scale!"
Even Menglin, who had lived two lives, was taken aback for a moment. He instantly used the Second Book Dao, only to know that the crimson piece was the legendary defensive treasure, Shang Long's reverse scale!
Shang Long was an extremely ferocious fire element wyrm, and it was renowned amongst the countless primeval species.
Shang Long, who liked to hide in the underground world of magma, was famous because he had a reverse scale on his body that was famous for its defensive power.
Shang Long, who had an extremely terrifying talent, could extract firepower from the fire element energy of heaven and earth to strengthen his reverse scale.
The reverse scale was Shang Long's strongest defensive means.
In terms of defense alone, once the defensive power of the reverse scale was activated, Shang Long's defense could even match a strong enemy that was a small level higher.
Due to Shang Long's strength and the fact that he was hiding in the terrifying underground magma, Shang Long was able to escape.
Therefore, Shang Long's reverse scale, which was known as a defensive treasure, was extremely rare since ancient times.
For a moment, Menglin was very envious. The reverse scale in Li Can's hand was not just a powerful defensive treasure for him.
Because he had advanced in the Azure Dragon Body Technique, he knew that there was a way to improve his Azure Dragon Tyrant Body.
That was to refine the reverse scale of a wyvern or a real dragon.
While Menglin was daydreaming, Li Can on the first platform had already tried his best to inject fire energy into Shang Long's reverse scale.
Shang Long's reverse scale buzzed and emitted a piercing red halo, and its ferocity grew stronger.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Zhu Hou's powerful Hero Butcher's Tooth was blocked by Shang Long's reverse scale.
Li Can, who was standing steadily, felt extremely relaxed.
Shang Long's reverse scale was not damaged at all.
"Ah?"
Zhu Hou, who did not know that Li Can was holding a defensive treasure, Shang Long's reverse scale, looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He was so incredulous.
Zhu Hou clearly knew that his cultivation was two levels higher than his opponent's. His martial skill, [Slaughterer's Tooth], was extremely powerful and nearly indestructible. Let alone injuring his opponent or knocking him off the stage, his opponent wouldn't even be able to move.
How incredible was that?
"Stupid pig, it's my turn!"
Li Can, who was extremely arrogant, was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity when he saw that his opponent was stunned.
"Qin Yuanlie Thrust!"
With a shout, a red light suddenly flashed from Li Can's body.
The red light quickly condensed into a scarlet light spike!
The light spike rapidly absorbed the fire element energy and became very terrifying.
Chi!
This scarlet light spike was obviously Li Can's martial skill. The moment it was condensed, it turned into a red light shadow and stabbed at Zhu Hou fiercely.
"What?"
Zhu Hou was taken aback and panicked a little.
Although he had the cultivation of the Seventh Tribulation of the Real Pellet State, which was two levels higher than his opponent, this was the extremely terrifying Qin Yuanlie Thrust.
Zhu Hou, who was also of the fire element, knew that Qin Yuanlie Thrust was also a kind of magical power seed. It was the innate magical power of the archaic species, Qin Yuanlie, and its power was unparalleled.
"Xin Huo Canopy!"
Zhu Hou, who did not dare to neglect, shouted again and again.
He desperately drove the fire energy in his body and activated the defensive martial skill, Xin Huo Canopy.
Even if his cultivation was two levels higher than his opponent, Zhu Hou was not sure if he could block the opponent's terrifying attack with Xin Huo Canopy alone.
At the same time, as a fire element martial artist, Zhu Hou couldn't help but envy the power of Zhi Zun's Leaving Gate.
Thrust!
The scarlet light spike instantly pierced through Zhu Hou's Xin Huo Canopy.
"Ah …"
Amidst the miserable roar, a hole had appeared on Zhu Hou's neck, and a large piece of his fur was burned.
Gugu!
Scarlet blood overflowed uncontrollably.
