65: Chapter 65 Chi Anlin's Limit
Circulating wind spiritual energy through his feet, Chi Anlin flipped over and dodged the attack.
The Silver Sand Iron Back Bear possessed immense strength; if its paw were to strike him, he would certainly be killed or severely injured.
Chi Anlin evaded the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear's attacks. After finding the right moment, an ice wall appeared in the bear's field of vision, obscuring his figure.
The Silver Sand Iron Back Bear roared and shattered the ice wall, but using that window of time, Chi Anlin reached its back and threw a punch at its hindneck.
In the past, he would have aimed for the head first, as head injuries are often fatal. However, after experiencing so many battles, he understood the drawbacks of targeting the head.
For a demonic beast like the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear, while a headshot could be fatal, it also depended on whether one's strength was sufficient.
Although Chi Anlin's strength was not inferior to a typical First Realm cultivator, striking the head of a Beast King of the same rank was often a foolish move.
The skull is the hardest part of the body's defense, and that was even truer for the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear.
With a strike landing on the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear's hindneck, Chi Anlin flipped away, once again dodging a swipe from the bear's paw.
With this move, Chi Anlin landed back on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, several ice spikes shot toward the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear's eyes. Sensing the threat, the bear used its paws to block them.
Taking this opportunity, Chi Anlin approached the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear again. His hand formed a claw shape, lunging directly for the bear's groin.
As the weakest part of a male creature, this weakness was fatal. To kill his enemies, Chi Anlin was often unscrupulous.
However, a large portion of the moves he used were ones others had used against him in the Blood Energy Space.
"Aow! Roar!" Blood splattered everywhere. The Silver Sand Iron Back Bear let out a tragic wail. An unspeakable pain surged through its heart, making it unable to stop itself from rolling on the ground.
In the spectator stands, seeing this scene, several instructors had strange expressions, and some even laughed outright.
Although Chi Anlin's action was somewhat underhanded, it also raised the instructors' evaluation of him.
In battle, flashy or over-cautious behavior was undesirable. An unscrupulous person like Chi Anlin was exactly what they valued most.
It was a matter of life and death; there was no need to talk about morality.
While the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear was rolling around, Chi Anlin attacked it several more times. However, since the bear was mostly attacking wildly at this point, Chi Anlin didn't want to risk his life by getting into a close-quarters struggle with it.
The ice spike attacks were futile. Against a demonic beast of this level, unless one possessed crushing strength, ice spikes simply couldn't breach its defense.
This was why, in the early stages, the attack power of Fire-attribute cultivators was often higher than that of other attributes.
When the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear was somewhat exhausted, Chi Anlin stepped forward to attack again. This time, his attack directly utilized the Great Success stage of the Tiger Edge Fist.
The faint intent of a tiger's roar accompanied his strikes. Chi Anlin quickly struck the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear's weakness. Leaping into a piercing kick, he directly punctured the bear's throat.
Strike while it's down! His subsequent punches all landed on the same spot. Chi Anlin smashed a large hole into the Silver Sand Iron Back Bear's neck, and the bear, having lost too much blood, finally collapsed powerlessly.
【Killed Mortal Rank Ninth Stage Silver Sand Iron Back Bear, gained 80,000 blood energy】
After taking a few deep breaths, Chi Anlin looked at the instructors. Having gained a massive increase in strength, he had thought he could easily defeat demonic beasts of the same rank and even steadily win against First Realm First Stage beasts, but now it seemed he might still be a bit short.
The strength of demonic beasts was too great. With one lapse in attention, he could easily be heavily injured. Therefore, he had to be exceptionally cautious during battle.
As for the instructors, they were stunned by Chi Anlin's desperate fighting style.
This didn't look at all like someone who hadn't experienced much combat.
Even those children of military families who had been sent to the Otherworld to fight since childhood didn't possess this level of combat awareness and killing intent.
Truly a monster!
However, no matter how they speculated, they would never imagine that the battles Chi Anlin had experienced far exceeded those of ordinary people. After all, while in the Otherworld, he spent most of his time every day fighting in the Blood Energy Space, and his death count was over a hundred. Thus, he could not only quickly find an enemy's weakness but also protect his own.
After the battle, Chi Anlin took a deep breath. A large amount of surrounding spiritual energy was drawn into his body, and the exhaustion from the battle quickly recovered.
"Defeating a same-rank Beast King is enough to prove this little monster's combat ability." He Rouyun's gaze toward Chi Anlin was extremely dangerous, as if she couldn't wait to devour him.
"I feel that his limit isn't just this. It so happens I had someone capture a First Realm Demonic Beast; why not let him try?" Xiao Shun suggested.
"A First Realm Demonic Beast? Are you crazy? Don't you know the gap between Mortal Rank and First Realm?" Yang Zheng frowned upon hearing this. Although he was also curious about Chi Anlin's limit, this was too dangerous.
Xiao Shun shook his head: "You're being too dramatic. While Chi Anlin's talent is indeed monstrous, he won't die that easily. Besides, he has defensive treasures on him; nothing will happen."
"I agree with Xiao Shun's statement. Even if Chi Anlin might be in danger, we can restrain the demonic beast immediately."
Everyone discussed fervently. Meanwhile, in the arena, Chi Anlin suddenly opened his beast taming pouch and released two demonic beasts.
His Beast Tamer talent had never been showcased, and since tamed beasts are considered part of one's strength, they could be used in the practical test.
Although the Frost Battle Soul was not his own tamed beast, because the demonic beast was absolutely loyal to him after the system synthesis, Chi Anlin could command it in battle normally.
To keep up appearances, Chi Anlin split off a sliver of mental energy to surround the Frost Battle Soul's mental core without actually establishing a contract with it.
"Instructors, beast taming is also part of my strength. I want to challenge a First Realm Demonic Beast."
Hearing Chi Anlin's words, the instructors were slightly stunned. Because Chi Anlin's other talents were too dazzling, they had naturally overlooked his Beast Tamer talent.
After all, for a genius who could cultivate both energy and body to the Mortal Rank Ninth Stage at this age, no matter what, they shouldn't have the energy to manage the training of tamed beasts.
This kid actually possesses two Mortal Rank Ninth Stage tamed beasts of such high quality?
A sense of absurdity rose in everyone's hearts. As instructors, they had seen many geniuses, but compared to Chi Anlin's performance, it was like comparing a small wizard to a great one.
"Good, you've got guts!" Yang Zheng was the first to laugh. As a body cultivator, what he admired most was someone with courage like Chi Anlin.
Talented, strong, and courageous. If he had a daughter... wait, his own cabbage could absolutely not be uprooted by others!
Unless their strength exceeded his own.
