122: Chapter 122 One Against Seven

With this thought in mind, Lin Ye felt the urge to test things out and intended to personally verify Yuan Zhan's current true combat power.

With a thought, he directly summoned the Shahunquan Commander within the Divine Kingdom to appear, while simultaneously activating the exclusive barrier of the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena within the Divine Kingdom, bringing both the hound and the ape into it.

This barrier was incomparably stable and could withstand the slaughter and collision of high-tier ferocious beasts without damaging a single blade of grass in the Divine Kingdom, making it the most suitable venue for combat power trials.

The Shahunquan Commander was a veteran Rank A peak vassal who had bathed in the Qi of evil spirits year-round. It was ferocious, bloodthirsty, experienced in combat, possessed a tough physical body, and wielded sharp techniques. It was a commander-level entity with top-tier combat power in Lin Ye's Divine Kingdom, and ordinary ferocious beasts of the same rank were simply no match for it.

The moment it stepped into the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena, the Shahunquan Commander sensed the threat of the evil aura emanating from Yuan Zhan. Its mane stood on end, its fierce light flared brightly, and when it opened its mouth, billowing black mist churned. A biting evil wind swept across the entire arena, and it took the lead to launch a ferocious charge, its killing momentum extremely terrifying.

However, the scene that followed completely exceeded Lin Ye's expectations.

Facing the monstrously fierce Shahunquan Commander, Yuan Zhan showed not a shred of cowardice. The ferocious aura around his body instantly surged, becoming even more violent, more bloodthirsty, and more domineering than the Shahun Hound!

Without dodging or evading, his body leaped into the air and his fist wind exploded. Pure physical brute force wrapped in dense evil aura met the secret art impact of the Shahun Hound head-on.

There were no flashy moves, only brute force and slaughter that crushed everything. Every punch made the barrier hum, with an offensive that was swift, domineering, and ruthless, suppressing step by step without giving the opponent the slightest chance to catch a breath.

The once fiercely invincible Shahunquan Commander actually retreated steadily before Yuan Zhan, its defenses torn apart one after another, its secret arts continuously shattered, and the wounds on its body rapidly increasing.

The entire battle process lasted less than a minute!

The habitually strong Shahunquan Commander had its combat power completely crushed by Yuan Zhan, slamming heavily onto the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena barrier, its body trembling, its aura withered, and completely losing the ability to resist.

However, Yuan Zhan, whose desire to kill was thoroughly ignited, did not stop. The fierce light in his scarlet eyes surged, and with a flash of his figure, he was about to pounce forward and smash the Shahunquan Commander's head with a punch, completely ending his opponent!

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, Lin Ye spoke in a deep voice, simultaneously urging the power of the Divine Kingdom's Lord. The gentle yet domineering power of the laws instantly imprisoned Yuan Zhan's body, forcibly intercepting this fatal blow.

As the violent killing intent was forcibly suppressed, the ferocious aura around Yuan Zhan slowly converged. He turned his head to look at Lin Ye, his eyes still clinging with trust, and obediently retreated to the side.

Looking at the scene inside the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena, Lin Ye's heart was filled with shock and wild joy.

With thirty percent bloodline reversion, he could crush the veteran Rank A peak Shahunquan Commander head-on. His combat power could be called invincible in the same tier!

This was the heaven-defying foundation of the ancient Long-armed Ape—invincible in the same rank, slaying across ranks, which ordinary vassals could never compare to!

Lin Ye also understood inwardly that the Shahun Hound losing so crisply was not actually disgraceful.

The veteran vassals of the Divine Kingdom had unlocked less than ten percent of their ancient bloodlines to this day, and their foundation still remained at the high-tier ferocious beast level. With only ten years of accumulated combat experience and a solid physical body, compared to Yuan Zhan, who had already awakened thirty percent of the Long-armed Ape's ancient bloodline and carried the Heavenly Dao of slaughter, an essential gap existed from the start, making defeat completely reasonable.

Without dwelling on the trial results any further, Lin Ye took stock of the remaining various high-tier spiritual materials, bloodline essences, and evil Qi resources, neatly organizing and retaining them all for Yuan Zhan to use for subsequent continuous nourishment and to stabilize his bloodline foundation.

The shortcoming of resource scarcity was still glaringly obvious, and he urgently wanted to push Yuan Zhan's bloodline reversion to a stable threshold of fifty percent, completely unlocking the Long-armed Ape's core talent.

Without further ado, Lin Ye immediately turned around and left the Divine Kingdom, returning to his real-world room to directly wake up Wang Hu, who was still fast asleep.

"Let's go, to the largest trading center in Cangnan City."

Wang Hu rubbed his sleepy eyes, but upon hearing that they were purchasing advanced resources for Yuan Zhan, he instantly woke up, got up without a word to pack, and rushed out the door with Lin Ye.

The two galloped all the way, heading straight for the municipal trading center with the largest scale and the most complete resources in Cangnan City.

This place gathered the city's top cultivation consumables, bloodline-nourishing spiritual materials, and origin divine fruits, making it an excellent place to quickly make up for Yuan Zhan's nurturing resources.

For a full three hours, the two swept through all the major core counters, mindlessly hoarding any resources suitable for the Long-armed Ape's bloodline reversion and physical body tempering without holding back at all.

After a round of frantic purchasing, nearly a hundred billion divine coins were instantly depleted, and the storage ring was once again stuffed with massive amounts of top-tier resources. Complete in categories and maxed out in grade, it was enough to support Yuan Zhan's long-term bloodline tempering and reversion evolution.

After completing the purchases, the two did not stay any longer and immediately took a vehicle back home.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Lin Ye impatiently locked the door and set up restrictions to isolate detection. With a movement of his mind, he once again sank into the Divine Kingdom, intending to continue nurturing Yuan Zhan and advancing its bloodline progress.

But just as he stepped into the vision of the Divine Kingdom, Lin Ye immediately showed a helpless expression, truly not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment on the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena, the flames of war were flying and evil Qi soared to the skies. Yuan Zhan was actually standing alone in the center of the battlefield, fighting one against seven, and was in the thick of a fierce battle with the Seven Commanders-level vassals in the Divine Kingdom, trading blows evenly. Every collision made the barrier vibrate endlessly!

All Seven Commanders were dispatched, and they were all veteran Rank S vassals polished by the Divine Kingdom for many years. Their combat instincts were extremely strong, and at this moment they had completely fought with true fire. Their moves were sharp and ruthless, each strike aiming straight for vital points without holding back a shred.

High above in the sky, the Soul-Devouring Owl hovered and whistled, invisible and colorless soul fluctuations sweeping across the arena, specializing in soul concussion and disintegrating the opponent's mind, continuously interfering with and restraining Yuan Zhan's movements.

Two canine vassals flanked from left and right, their sharp fangs wrapped in monstrous evil Qi. Coming into close quarters meant tearing and biting, sealing off all dodging space.

In the shadows, the Shadow Fox and Sha-Transforming Python used ultimate stealth secret arts to conceal their figures, their sharp claws filling the sky ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment. Sneak attacks emerged endlessly, impossible to guard against.

The remaining commanders also performed their respective duties, coordinating offense and defense, restraining from afar and near, pushing the encirclement tactics to the absolute limit.

Such a dangerous melee made even Lin Ye, who had just entered the arena, feel a slight tightening in his heart, fearing that Yuan Zhan might sustain injuries or overdraw his origin.

But soon, he saw the huge benefits of this chaotic battle.

Under the ultimate high-pressure melee, whether it was Yuan Zhan or the Seven Commanders-level vassals, their own combat experience was skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their combat reactions, adaptability, and offensive and defensive rhythms transformed in all directions.

What was even more crucial was that the Seven Commanders had fought independently for years, and their coordination had always been rusty. However, after this high-intensity encirclement and slaughter, their mutual offensive and defensive connections, advancement and retreat echoing, and distant-close coordination became increasingly tacit, their team combat power climbed in a straight line, and their overall tactical system grew more mature.

The intense and bitter battle lasted for a long time and finally slowly came to an end.

The Seven Commanders-level vassals were all completely exhausted, one by one collapsing onto the ground of the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena. Their fur was messy, their auras were heavy, and they panted heavily. Their physical strength and divine power were completely overdrawn, and they no longer had the strength to launch an attack.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhan, who had fought the seven enemies alone, was not much better off. His body was covered in fine sweat, he breathed rapidly, his chest heaved violently, and most of his bodily blood and Qi was consumed. He also collapsed in the center of the venue to recuperate.

This ultimate melee ultimately ended in a draw with no victor and a complete tie.

Lin Ye's figure moved, and he fluttered down to the center of the Myriad Beasts Martial Arena, his demeanor steady and calm, carrying the majestic coercion of the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.
