The black striped bear slowly climbed out of the specially made cage.
It was fine when it was lying down, but once it stood up, that oppressive aura was truly terrifying!
This was only a processed beast with a subdued bestial nature.
If they were to meet in the wild, even Yang Yi would not dare act rashly.
This was the objective of the demon slaying party.
This was a chance for the contestants to face demonic beasts that they normally would not dare to face, to find out the true strength of the beasts, and to get used to it as soon as possible.
In this way, if they were to encounter them the wild in the future, they would be able to make the most accurate judgment based on the situation.
Yang Yi treasured such an opportunity to gain experience. Therefore, he did not retreat, and wanted to take the opportunity to test his true strength.
“Roar!”
After a short period of silence, the black striped bear suddenly became violent. It pounded its chest with its paws and then pounced towards Yang Yi to bite him.
With its size, it did not need any fancy moves. It itself was the greatest deterrent to the enemy.
Yang Yi’s expression was solemn.
First, he jumped away from the black striped bear’s pouncing bite. Then, he turned around and circled around its side.
His punches were like raindrops. It was the Rolling Mountain Stance!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Three punches landed true.
When the fourth punch hit, the beast reacted and turned around to press down with its paw.
Yang Yi could not pull back his fist in time and parried the paw with his palm. However, the strength behind the palm exceeded his imagination.
At that moment, his arm felt as if his arm was being torn apart.
He hurriedly disengaged and steered clear.
The huge bear paw slammed onto the stage, shattering the white stone surface into pieces.
Yang Yi did not intend to stop. He pushed against the stage and launched himself forward. He circled to the back of the black striped bear in an instant.
The Phantom Dodge that he cultivated was a dodging technique, but it also improved his movements.
The black striped bear’s reaction was slower.
However, the thick fur on its back played a defensive role to a certain extent.
Yang Yi lunged and moved his arms to form a virtual embrace. Then, both fists struck out like the horns of an ox.
“Ha!”
This move was equivalent to the killer move of the Mountain-hugging Fist.
It was powerful and heavy, and coupled with the accomplished stage, it was executed with the gracefulness of sweeping mountains away.
Both fists struck the back of the black striped bear. Layers of energy surged out, and one could see the black striped bear’s fur stand up. Then, its fur bent forward as if it was being blown by a strong wind.
The black striped bear struggled and fell onto the platform. It rolled and got up again.
Its eyes were bloodshot as it roared angrily, which made everyone below the platform frown.
Then, it locked onto the culprit that caused it pain. It launched its four paws at Yang Yi and tore at him.
Yang Yi was not afraid at all and fought with it. However, he did not use his fists and palms to fight. Instead, he focused on deflecting the bear’s paws. After that, he found a weak point and quickly threw out a few punches. When the beast reacted, he jumped away and did the same thing again and again.
After all, a demonic beast was a demonic beast. Moreover, it was a clumsy black striped bear. Under Yang Yi’s guerilla attacks, it could only take a beating one-sided.
Soon enough, the black striped bear’s physical strength was depleted to the critical point.
On the other hand, Yang Yi did not appear to be too exhausted. This was due to his solid foundations in Qi and blood.
Yang Yi felt that the time was right. He pushed away the bear’s paw and stepped on the black striped bear’s body. His body soared into the air. Then, he used the Mountain Shaker as he dove.
His arms were like hammers as he heavily knocked on the back of the black striped bear’s neck. The terrifying force followed Yang Yi’s heel and firmly hammered the black-striped bear to the ground.
The white stone platform immediately caved in and broke into pieces.
The black striped bear roared indignantly. It stubbornly tried to prop its head up.
Yang Yi’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he circulated the Crimson Afterglow Technique with all his might.
The tyrannical change in the fire attribute allowed Yang Yi’s technique to have an additional layer of explosive power.
He pressed down hard.
The back of the black striped bear’s neck emitted a cracking sound. Blood spurted out as half of its head smashed into the stage. It was completely lifeless.
It sounded slow when describing the fight, but the entire process only lasted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Some of the people below the stage did not see what had happened.
“Continue.”
The entire place was silent.
Only Yang Yi’s voice rang out silently.
“He still has some strength left?” Luo Ran was surprised.
He thought that Tian Zhen was already the biggest dark horse.
He did not expect that another disciple of the Qixia sect would be so valiant.
However, he did not seem to have mastered the usage of force yet.
“Hey, this junior brother Yang of yours is very strong. His fist technique is already so strong. How’s his sword technique?”
Jiang Hong asked Tian Zhen beside her.
She did not expect Yang Yi to defeat a very strong Bone Refining demonic beast while being poisoned.
Moreover, he used a fist technique.
If he used a sword, would he not be even stronger?
“I’ve never seen Junior Brother Yang use a sword,” Tian Zhen muttered.
His current mood was also very complicated.
At this moment, Yang Yi seemed to be much stronger than when he was tested by the sect.
“Huh? You’ve never seen him use a sword before?” Jiang Hong’s pretty face was deathly pale. She muttered in a low voice, “Could it be his sword technique is so fast that it’s invisible to the naked eye?”
Jiang Hong regarded Yang Yi as a powerful sword cultivator and did not dare to speak rudely to him anymore.
After that, Yang Yi defeated another five-point Blood Refining demonic beast before stepping down from the stage.
Actually, with his level of Qi and blood, he could definitely give it another try. However, this was only the first round, so there was no need for that.
He still had to conserve his strength. With his high score, the probability of him being challenged was very high.
After Yang Yi, it was Luo Ran who went up on stage.
Luo Ran was flamboyant and his strength could not be underestimated. With his unique arms and the combination of the Stone Bear Gang’s ultimate technique, Savage Bear Fist, he was extremely powerful.
He challenged two sets of demonic beasts and obtained 23 points. Then, he stopped fighting, all in his stride.
After that, it was Song Ping from the Stone Bear Gang who went up on stage.
The Hard Rock Technique that he cultivated was not good at offense, so he could only fight one group before coming down.
Finally, it was Ge Zhili of the Rope Fire Gang. He had also fought two groups very quickly. However, the points of these two groups were on the low side. Therefore, he challenged another four-point Blood Refining demonic beast and got a total of 24 points.
The first round of challenges was over for everyone.
The top three contestants were Ge Zhili (24 points) , Luo Ran (23 points), and Yang Yi (19 points) .
After a short break, the second round began.
Li He was the first to go on stage.
His good luck continued until now, he defeated two low-point demonic beasts.
After this, he neither left the stage nor continued. Instead, he chose to challenge.
Moreover, the choice of the opponent exceeded Yang Yi’s guess.
It was actually Ge Zhili, who was also from the Rope Fire Gang.
Ge Zhili was not surprised. He stepped onto the stage.
“I admit defeat.”
The opponent had just come up when Li He forfeited.
This operation had truly stunned Yang Yi.
“He’s feeding points. Moreover, according to the rules of the demon slaying party, each person only has one chance to be challenged. Nobody else can challenge Ge Zhili after this.”
Tian Zhen explained what was happening to Yang Yi.
After participating twice, he was used to this kind of maneuver.
When one did not have a chance to win, one could think of ways to help one’s companion gain an advantage. This was also the reason why there were two people on one side.
However, the reason why the feeding was so smooth this time was because Li He was the first to take the stage. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to intercept him and challenge Ge Zhili first, or to forcefully kill Li He first..
