62: Four-Armed Ape Demon VS Seven-Colored Glass Butterfly!
Seeing that the match was about to begin, Lin Yuan's expression gradually became serious.
It had to be said that Song Lan's Aura was still very strong.
Whether it was his ferocious, god-like face or his iron-tower-like physique, both made him look like a mob boss from a movie.
To be honest, just looking at Song Lan's appearance, it was really hard to imagine that his beast soul would actually be the Support-type Beast Soul 【Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly】.
Subsequently, Lin Yuan quickly cast his gaze toward Yuan Liean, who was standing in front of Song Lan.
This guy's Aura was not the least bit inferior to Song Lan's; not only was his physique brawny, but his height reached a full 1.9 meters.
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Liean's arms were extremely long, making him look just like an upright gibbon.
"So you're the one who wants to stand up for that piece of trash?"
After both sides stood their ground, Yuan Liean raised his head and stared at Song Lan with a gaze that was almost provocative.
Song Lan was not intimidated; instead, he stared back at Yuan Liean just as calmly and said in a deep voice, "You all... have gone too far."
"Gone too far?"
Yuan Liean sneered, "Are you referring to beating your trashy roommate until he was seriously injured?"
"Since his own strength is lacking, he needs others to stand up for him. Doesn't he find that ridiculous himself?"
Song Lan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Do you 【Ranking Hunters】 really have no scruples at all when you do things?"
"Scruples?"
Yuan Liean laughed out loud, "Even the school doesn't care about this, so what do we have to be scrupulous about?"
"Besides... do you even have the strength to make me feel wary?"
Speaking up to this point, Yuan Liean dangerously narrowed his eyes, then changed the subject, "Some bullshit Demon City Top Scorer—in my eyes, you are just as trashy as that Zhao Ming!"
Seeing the atmosphere on the field becoming increasingly explosive, the audience in the stands all cheered loudly!
They didn't care what kind of grudge existed between Song Lan and Yuan Liean; they just wanted to watch the two of them go at it for real and decide the winner!
Song Lan stared at Yuan Liean with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I will grant your wish... Beast Soul Fusion!"
After saying this, Song Lan did not hesitate in the slightest and directly chose to perform the Beast Soul Fusion!
The next second, Song Lan's figure transformed directly into a colorful butterfly, its entire body radiating the precious light of glaze!
Looking at this scene before them, the audience in the stands could not help but be slightly stunned.
"Is this Song Lan's beast soul? Damn... this is too different from his appearance."
"Yeah, this guy looks fierce and menacing, but his beast soul is actually a colorful butterfly?"
"I'd heard long ago that Song Lan awakened the top-tier Support-type Beast Soul 【Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly】; today, I've finally seen its true form."
"Support-type Beast Soul? This is too ridiculous, right? How does he plan to fight Yuan Liean? Aren't Support-type Beast Souls basically devoid of combat power?"
"We'll know if we keep watching; perhaps Song Lan's beast soul has some special features?"
"This Yuan Liean is no easy character; even among the 【Ranking Hunters】, his strength is considered to be among the strongest."
After Song Lan was the first to complete the Beast Soul Fusion, Yuan Liean, who was in front of him, burst into hysterical laughter.
"Is this your beast soul? Hahahaha... a cute little colorful butterfly?"
"Do you think you're playing a child's game of house? A beast soul like the one you awakened shouldn't be here; you should just go to an amusement park—that would be much more suitable for you, hahahaha..."
Facing Yuan Liean's mockery, Song Lan's expression did not change in the slightest.
He suddenly flapped his wings, instantly causing the air to flow rapidly, and two wind blades condensed out of thin air, slashing toward the direction where Yuan Liean was standing!
Watching the wind blades whistling toward him, Yuan Liean's expression suddenly changed.
He clearly hadn't expected Song Lan to strike so decisively.
Fortunately, he reacted in the first instance, and his body immediately rolled backward!
Although he looked a bit disheveled, he still narrowly avoided the two wind blades that had come to kill him!
"Clang, clang!"
Accompanied by two sounds of metal clashing, these two wind blades struck the ground directly, leaving behind two extremely conspicuous white marks.
One had to know that the floor of the ring was made of specially crafted Materials.
Even an attack at the Beast King Level would find it difficult to leave a mark on it.
It was conceivable just how great the power of Song Lan's two wind blades really was.
"Song Lan, is sneaking attacks all you know how to do?"
Yuan Liean raised his head, his face gradually becoming ferocious.
Song Lan said calmly, "Someone who does not respect their opponent naturally cannot expect to receive respect from their opponent."
"If you still don't intend to perform the Beast Soul Fusion, I don't mind making you lose right now!"
"Good, very good!"
Yuan Liean said with a sinister laugh, "You brought this upon yourself! Beast Soul Fusion!"
Accompanied by a bestial roar, Yuan Liean also fused with his own beast soul!
And his beast soul was precisely the SS-rank Beast Soul, Four-Armed Ape Demon!
In terms of talent, Yuan Liean's SS-rank Beast Soul was indeed a grade lower compared to Song Lan's SSS-rank beast soul.
But the greatest advantage of the 【Four-Armed Ape Demon】 beast soul was... it was a genuine, hard-hitting, aggressive-type beast soul!
After the Beast Soul Fusion was completed, a terrifying monster with a physique as tall as a mountain appeared before everyone's eyes!
This was a giant ape standing eighteen meters tall, its entire body covered in black-gray fur, and from its robust body grew four huge, muscular arms, looking extremely terrifying!
Although Yuan Liean, like Song Lan, possessed the strength of a two-star Beast King Level, the pressure he emitted after completing the Beast Soul Fusion was simply enough to shock the entire audience!
"My god... is this the beast soul that Yuan Liean awakened?"
"What terrifying pressure; Four-Armed Ape Demon Yuan Liean is truly extraordinary."
"I heard that if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Liean has to work for the 【Ranking Hunters】 at any time, with his strength, he would definitely be qualified to challenge for the top ten of the hidden dragon ranking."
"Sigh, the 【Ranking Hunters】 have gathered so many powerhouses; it's obvious they don't want to give us rogue cultivators any way to survive!"
"Yeah, otherwise you choose to join and pay the membership fees on time every week, or you can only watch those who are weaker than you climb over your head one by one, and you can't do anything about them!"
"You can't speak so absolutely; look at Chu Tianyi, he didn't pay them any attention at all, and didn't he still climb to number one?"
"It can only be said that in the face of absolute strength, any targeting is a joke. On the road to the top, Chu Tianyi killed gods if gods blocked him and killed Buddhas if Buddhas blocked him, directly stepping on Wu Xuangu to reach the top, and the latter didn't even dare to let out a fart!"
"It's just a pity that there is only one Chu Tianyi. For people like us with no strength and no background, we'd better not fantasize about resisting them."
"I, for one, hope that Song Lan can defeat Yuan Liean; it would be a way to dampen the arrogance of the 【Ranking Hunters】."
Listening to the discussions in his ears, Lin Yuan could not help but frown.
He turned his head and said to Wang Jinze, "It seems there are quite a few New Students who are dissatisfied with the 【Ranking Hunters】."
"That is natural."
Wang Jinze sneered, "A perfectly fine ranking, yet it was turned into a foul atmosphere by those people like Wu Xuangu; it would be strange if everyone didn't have resentment in their hearts."
"However, even if there is resentment, there's nothing to be done about it. More than half of the powerhouses ranked at the top of the hidden dragon ranking are their people."
"Except for Chu Tianyi, who truly managed to break out of the encirclement, who else would dare to say anything?"
Subsequently, Wang Jinze lowered his voice and said, "You don't know just how lucrative it is to monopolize the ranking."
"As far as I know, the money Wu Xuangu gets every week is over twenty million!"
"And there's Shen Cang, who is ranked second on the hidden dragon ranking; he just holds a nominal position within the 【Ranking Hunters】, not even needing to lift a finger, yet he gets a five-million dividend every week."
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment could not help but appear in the depths of Lin Yuan's eyes.
So much?
You have to know that even for the top of the hidden dragon ranking, the reward issued by the school every week is only three million.
And the 【Ranking Hunters】 established by Wu Xuangu could actually provide him with nearly twenty million in revenue every week?
This was simply too exaggerated.
No wonder those people ranked at the top of the hidden dragon ranking were all willing to join the 【Ranking Hunters】; it turns out there was real profit to be made in it.
"Actually, to put it plainly, these people are just sucking blood."
Wang Jinze curled his lip, "They want to monopolize the hidden dragon ranking, suck blood from those in the middle and lower ranks, and extract membership fees from them to satisfy their own selfish interests."
"This is very normal; people are selfish."
Lin Yuan said with a smile, "If the 【Ranking Hunters】 were to invite me, I estimate I probably wouldn't refuse."
"After all... only a fool would turn down easy money."
Hearing the profanity bursting from Lin Yuan's mouth, Wang Jinze could not help but glance at him in surprise, "You are actually more flexible than that stubborn blockhead Zhao Ming."
"Yeah."
Lin Yuan said indifferently, "It's just a pity that from the moment Zhao Ming was injured, I had already crossed that option off."
"Since they want to play, then I'll play along with them properly."
Wang Jinze cast his gaze back toward the ring in front of them, "Then who do you think will win between Song Lan and Yuan Liean?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I can't tell for the moment."
"Judging by the Aura and the characteristics of the beast soul, Yuan Liean is certainly a cut above."
"However, Song Lan is not a reckless person. Since he chose to challenge Yuan Liean, it proves that he must have already made preparations."
Wang Jinze nodded, "I think so too."
At this very moment, on the ring, the battle was still continuing.
Both Song Lan and Yuan Liean had already successively completed their Beast Soul Fusion.
Compared to Song Lan's 【Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly】, Yuan Liean's 【Four-Armed Ape Demon】 appeared much more imposing, as if a demon god had descended into the world!
However, even so, Song Lan did not show the slightest bit of fear.
He saw him flap his wings once again, condensing several more wind blades, and sent them swirling toward the direction of Yuan Liean to slaughter him!
However, watching the attack before him, a look of contempt could not help but flash in the depths of Yuan Liean's eyes.
He saw him take a step forward, roaring as he spread his four muscular ape arms, and he actually directly took all the wind blades with his chest!
Looking at this scene, all the audience present could not help but widen their eyes, displaying looks of disbelief.
This action of Yuan Liean's... was it not too arrogant?!
But the next second, an even more shocking scene appeared.
The extremely sharp wind blades had actually only left a few very shallow bloodstains on the chest of the Four-Armed Ape Demon!!
To be precise, this level of injury didn't even count as a flesh wound.
"Is this your attack? It's just like scratching an itch." Yuan Liean's face was full of mockery.
The next second, his body arched, and his four arms hung down simultaneously, pressing against the ground.
Watching the movements Yuan Liean made, a sense of crisis suddenly surged into Song Lan's heart.
Just at this moment, the Four-Armed Ape Demon's massive body suddenly erupted, and it shot toward the direction of Song Lan like a cannonball!
Immediately following that, Yuan Liean's roar also exploded in Song Lan's ears!
"Watch closely... how I tear your wings to shreds!!"
