Chapter 126: Mysterious Demonic Beast

  "This is the real death trap, it's normal to encounter demonic beasts. For a while now, I've been fighting magical beasts and it's gotten quite dull. Demonic beasts are all very powerful, I'd better get a good look at them."

  For more than a month, alone by himself, Shangguan Yu didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. After all, the trials set up for him by Emperor Tianheng, he had been inside for several decades. Although it was in an illusory realm, but to him, it wasn't much different from personal experience.

  "Isn't that a tiger? It seems to have become a demonic beast. I guess I really do have a connection with tigers after all. But my current combat power has increased quite a bit, let's see how many moves it'll take to finish off this tiger!"

  Before the old tiger could react, Shangguan Yu suddenly rushed over. A "Fire Lotus Exploding Flame Fist" hit the old tiger's body, causing its figure to shake several times.

  "The Fire Lotus Exploding Fist" has been practiced for so long, and its power is not to be underestimated. Every punch that comes out seems to have a fire lotus blooming on the fist. These fire lotuses may not be big, but they explode inside the opponent's body after being hit, making them extremely powerful.

  The tiger turned its head, just about to let out a roar, but unfortunately, Shangguan Yu had already thrown a punch at its head. The tiger let out a low growl, and Shangguan Yu continued to pound its head with his fists. Without any pause, he kept going until the tiger was knocked to the ground.

  "You're just a weak tiger, can't take a punch. I've only just warmed up and you're already done for. Still panting? Hehe, today we get to eat tiger meat, hope it's not too tough."

  Looking at the dying tiger, Shangguan Yu went up and added two punches. For so many days, Shangguan Yu had been eating demon beast meat. Today he could finally change his taste, although they were all wild beasts, but after all, it was a demon beast.

  "What's that thing in front? It looks a bit like a lion, but also a bit like an ox, and a bit like a deer. I don't recall seeing such a monster before? A strange-looking monster should be quite powerful, right?" Upper Official Yu muttered to himself.

  The strange beast in front of him was indeed very peculiar. Faced with the challenge, Yu Shang naturally charged forward. However, when he approached the wild beast, it suddenly ran away. No matter how hard Yu Shang chased after it, he couldn't catch up.

  He couldn't help but sigh, he had no idea how strong this demon beast was, but compared to its running speed, it was far inferior. He had thought that he would encounter a powerful demon beast, but who knew it would end up like this.

  Shangguan Yu also saw many monsters along the way, but those monsters were too weak and not worth his effort. The intuition of those monsters was very keen, and when they sensed the aura emanating from Shangguan Yu's body, they did not take the initiative to provoke him either.

  "Can't be this tragic, right? Are the demonic beasts here really that weak? It's strange, how can it be like this? The magical beasts in front had a strong presence, shouldn't the demonic beasts here have some powerful ones too?"

  It'll take more than a month to leave this death trap. If the demonic beasts here are all so weak, then Shangguan Yu probably can't even move forward. Days without battle are really too boring.

  During this period, he had been putting the Tianyuan Pearl in his arms. Only in this way could the speed of his cultivation be promoted to the fastest. Time was pressing, but there was no time to waste. Three years later, the Zhenwu Gate's gate competition, Wu Santong was still waiting for them to fight for face.

  A few months ago in the Zhen Wu Men.

  "All four of you, listen up! This time's sect competition has nothing to do with you. But three years later, the next sect competition, all of you will have to participate. You've all seen my status in Zhen Wu Sect, as my disciples, you can't be too weak."

  Shangguan Yu, Qin Shou, Li Ruolan and Xiang Tianlang stood opposite Wu Santong. Today, Wu Santong had them come over specifically to talk about this matter, so the four of them listened seriously.

  "My senior brothers, as well as your senior brothers, and even your junior uncles. They all want to step on you, if your strength is not up to par in three years, it will be a disaster. You are facing the challenge of not just outer sect disciples, but the entire inner sect disciples. As for the elite disciples, they naturally won't come to fight with you."

  Wu San Tong stroked his beard and continued, "Your time is very short, only three years. Three years later, you will have to face the challenges of all inner door disciples. If at that time you do not have the strength of Wang Ji border, it will be very miserable. Among the inner door disciples, there are even Tian Wang border warriors. I don't need you to get first place, but at least don't make this lineage lose face."

  "In three years' time, if given to others, it would be almost impossible for them to rise from the Extreme Realm to the King Realm. But you are different, you are my Wu San Tong disciples. Think back to when I was 16 years old, I had already entered the King Realm. As my disciples, you naturally can only surpass me, if you are not up to par, then I will have no choice but to expel you from the sect!"

  Looking at Wu Santong's extremely serious expression, the four of them didn't think he was joking. The four of them clenched their fists tightly, and in the past four years, it was indeed very difficult for him to enter the Wang Ji realm. However, the best time for a warrior to cultivate is between the ages of 12 and 16. After this period, cultivation will become even more difficult.

  "Master, rest assured that the four of us will not disappoint your expectations. Although our school has only five people, since Master is so powerful, we four apprentices naturally will not bring shame to you!"

  Shangguan Yu said seriously, and the other three also nodded vigorously. Wu Santong smiled in satisfaction, then disappeared from the sight of the four people. The only thing left in the air was Wu Santong's last sentence, "I hope you four won't disappoint your master!"

  A loud roar interrupted Shangguan Yu's reminiscence, and the three-year deadline was now even closer. But he had only just reached the Earth Realm, so could he really reach the King Realm in three years? Even if he believed in himself, with his current progress, it was absolutely impossible to achieve that.

  He still needs to cross these five small realms to cultivate to the King Extreme Realm. There are about two and a half years left, which means that on average, he needs to break through one small realm every half year.

  But the more you cultivate, the slower it gets. The primordial energy in the body of an extreme realm martial artist is just gaseous primordial energy. To reach the king extreme realm, one must convert the gaseous primordial energy into liquid primordial energy and fill the entire body with it. And to reach the emperor extreme realm, one must transform the primordial energy into solid state. Just thinking about it makes you realize how terrifyingly large the amount of primordial energy required for an emperor extreme realm martial artist is.

  That roar came again, only this time it was closer to Shangguan Yu. This roar was strange, not like an animal's roar, but rather like a human's roar. However, based on this roar, he could tell that this was definitely an opponent worth taking seriously.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Not only was the roar strange, but even the sound of its footsteps was strange. However, when Uemura looked at the monster in front of him, his mouth opened wide and his chin almost fell to the ground. This kind of monster, he had never seen before, nor had he ever heard of it.

  What appeared before his eyes was a plump round ball. On top of this ball were two long ears, on the front of the ball were two big eyes, and it was cute. The small nose wrinkled and unwrinkled, the small mouth pouted and unpouted.

  Shangguan Yu even thought he had seen wrongly, such a cute demonic beast, how could it possibly produce that kind of roar? However, after taking a closer look, he knew he hadn't seen wrongly. Wherever this demonic beast passed by, other demonic beasts all gave way to it with a flutter.

  This round ball of meat, with a flickering motion, jumped towards Shangguan Yu. Its big eyes seemed to be smiling, and Shangguan Yu couldn't see any hostility in them. Looking at its appearance, it was really too funny.

  "Maybe I'm too sensitive? Not every demon beast needs to fight, like this cute one, it's just right as a pet. But it can make those demon beasts give way to it, it should be very powerful."

  When Shangguan Yu fell into thought, the big eyes of the round ball narrowed slightly, then jumped up and collided with Shangguan Yu. The speed at which this round ball flew was very fast, because it was advancing while rotating.

  This speed was really too fast, Shangguan Yu thought of dodging, but didn't dodge in time. He only managed to use his arms to block in front of him, a huge force came over, his arms hurt, and his body unconsciously retreated several steps.

  Shuguang Yu also became serious. This demon beast looks cute, but its strength seems to be very strong. The round ball came crashing again, faster than before.

  "Flame Lotus Exploding Fist!"

  This time, Guan Yu was prepared. Facing the incoming ball, he launched a punch. However, he only felt as if he had hit a cotton ball, soft and slippery. Just as he was wondering, his fist was met with a wave of pain.

  He quickly retracted his fist, and the round ball's body also bulged out a piece. That piece was where Shangguan Yu had attacked, it seemed that this punch's power was not small either. A hint of a smile flashed in the big eyes of the round ball, under Shangguan Yu's incredulous gaze, the withered place quickly recovered to its original state.

  The round ball charged at Shangguan Yu again, this time with a speed that was even faster than the previous two times. His spirit and energy were more concentrated than ever before, and Shangguan Yu struck out at the round ball once again. However, the feeling he got from it was the same as before, and his fist was met with another wave of pain. The shriveled up part of the round ball quickly returned to its original state.

  "What is this thing? How can it be so powerful? Is my attack ineffective against it? If that's the case, how do I fight?" Xia Guan Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.
