Enraged, Little White rushed into the arena and immediately spat out a huge fireball!
Boom! Unprepared, Wang Xi was blackened by the fire despite blocking it with the black sword.
Roar!
Before he could react, Little White spat out another fireball!
It was a ball of Samadhi True Flames.
The primitive ancient treasures from the Nine Dragons Palace were not made of the five elements, and neither was the Samadhi True Flames.
The fire element in fire-elemental techniques belonged to the five elements. However, the Samadhi True Flames was an elixir making fire and not part of the five elements.
Wang Xi had never seen such a thing before, and he was almost burned like an elixir furnace by Little White. Slashing out his black sword and retreating more than ten steps, he finally regained his balance.
However, his brown robe was almost burning with smoke, and the fire put a big hole in the chest of his robe.
After spitting out two fireballs, Little White’s anger abated a little, and it flew to Hao Ren’s side and carried him easily onto its back.
“This… this is a spirit beast!”
The audience was dumbfounded.
With the scarcity of the nature essence on First Heaven, spirit beasts had been extinct while demon beasts which were from the same origin lived at the bottom of the ocean and couldn’t be tamed by dragon cultivators.
That was why they were astonished when a spirit beast suddenly appeared by Hao Ren’s side.
Alarmed, Wang Xi slashed out the black sword continuously.
One after another, black sword energies flew toward Hao Ren, but Little White dodged them easily with Hao Ren on its back, and colorful light appeared under its paws.
The cultivators who were watching were even more astonished!
“What is the level of this spirit beast? It could fight with a Xun-level cultivator? Even a Qian-level cultivator couldn’t catch and tame such a spirit beast,” they thought.
“Nonsense!”
Slamming the arms of the armchair, Qin Shaoyang stood up abruptly.
“The combat exams are one-to-one! The Ren Yin cultivator is disqualified for breaking the rules and fighting his opponent with a partner!” Qin Shaoyang glared and declared with a resonant voice.
Hua… A white light beam rushed to his side.
“The combat exams at the Dragon God Shrine doesn’t rule out spirit beasts!”
Circulating her full nature essence, Su Han said in a louder voice.
Since Qin Shaoyang declared that the rules didn’t forbid dharma treasures, Su Han proclaimed that the rules didn’t prohibit spirit beasts, either.
Hearing Su Han’s words, the audience began to talk amongst each other.
“Indeed, since The Ren Mao cultivator could use a primitive ancient treasure, why couldn’t the Ren Yin cultivator use a spirit beast? There are only two cultivators fighting each other, and the spirit beast couldn’t be counted as a cultivator despite its great force!” they thought.
“You…” Qin Shaoyang’s face paled while his authority as the main examiner of the east exam area was severely challenged.
After half a second of hesitation, he continued, “I’m the main examiner, and it’s a violation of rules if I say so!”
“You won’t dare!” Su Han got tough as well.
Bang! Su Han’s aura as a mid-tier Qian-level cultivator was released suddenly.
Among all the cultivators in the area, no one was more powerful than mid-tier Qian-level!
Even Qin Shaoyang, the main examiner, was only at Kun-level!
A level 3 inspector was fighting with a level 4 inspector, who was the main examiner, over a little assisting inspector!
Instantly, the cultivators in the east exam area of the Dragon God Shrine were stunned.
Such a thing had never happened, not even in their imaginations!
“Su Han, are you threatening me over an assisting inspector?” Qin Shaoyang clenched his fist and glared at Su Han.
“Yeah, I’m threatening you! What can you do about it?” Su Han narrowed her eyes and released a stronger aura!
Bang! Bang!
The two arms on Qin Shaoyang’s armchairs shattered.
Under Su Han’s powerful aura, even a chair made of iron would have been crushed.
The six level 4 inspectors on both sides of Qin Shaoyang didn’t dare to intervene.
They knew about Su Han’s temper. The colder she sounded, the more unapproachable she was. They had never seen her so enraged!
“Ok, Ok… I’ll see how long he can last!” Qin Shaoyang retreated half a step and sat back in his chair.
“Humph!” Su Han snorted and returned to the side of the arena.
A level 3 inspector threatened the main examiner!
The cultivators in the east exam area saw a dramatic scene! It was even more intense than the combat exams in the Dragon God Shrine so far!
They had understood by now that this Gen-level cultivator was the assisting inspector of the beautiful inspector.
The beautiful inspector was so partial with her assistant that she even made a scene with the main examiner!
Looking at Su Han who had returned to her side, Zhao Hongyu was also shocked. After all, Su Han never cared for anyone, and she had never done anything for others this actively as she did for Hao Ren!
Bang!
In the arena, Little White spat out another fireball.
With Little White’s aid, Hao Ren finally had time to build a sword array with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Five-elemental fundamental sword array formations!
With 16 sword energies in one group, 20 groups of sword energies of five elements flew toward Wang Xi!
Busy in blocking Little White’s fireballs, Wang Xi didn’t have any time to block Hao Ren’s attacks with his black sword.
Bang! The fireball exploded, and the 20 sword energies stabbed toward Wang Xi under the cover of the flames.
After all, Wang Xi just reached Xun-level and was pushed to mid-tier Xun-level by the elders. Without the advantage of the black sword, he couldn’t unleash the full force of Xun-level, and it made the situation tricky for him.
The level 2 snow lion was equivalent to a mid-tier to top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator according to the human cultivators’ realm division. In a sense, Hao Ren and Little White were two Gen-level cultivators fighting against one Xun-level cultivator!
“Two Dragons Array Formation!”
The 320 sword energies were divided into two groups which attacked Wang Xi from both sides.
“Do you think you can defeat me like this?!” Wang Xi emitted a dazzling yellow energy as if he was wearing a thick armor!
The sword energies hit Wang Xi’s body, but they couldn’t pierce his armor.
“No matter what, you are only a Gen-level cultivator!” Wang Xi said with clenched teeth as he injected earth-elemental nature essence into his arm, making the black sword shine a yellow light.
Dang!
With the yellow light, the black sword collided with Hao Ren’s sword array and forced Hao Ren to back off five meters.
Undoubtedly, Wang Xi was so far the most powerful opponent Hao Ren had met in the Dragon God Shrine’s general exam.
Faced with Hao Ren and Little White’s attacks from the front and the back, Wang Xi immediately calmed down and blocked the attacks steadily.
Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation!
Hao Ren’s sword energies reorganized before flying toward Wang Xi again.
With the restriction of the Five Mountains Bracelets, Hao Ren could only unleash 40% of his nature essence. Otherwise, his sword array would be as powerful as a Dui-level attack!
“Heaven breaks and Earth shatters!” Wang Xi stepped on the ground while holding the sword with both hands.
Beams of yellow light rose from the arena and blocked the sword energies.
After all, the earth-elemental dragons were not weak!
Other cultivators might be caught off guard by Hao Ren’s techniques, but Wang Xi had seen them a long time ago!
Although the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was unique, Hao Ren had no hope of winning if he couldn’t penetrate Wang Xi’s defense.
Since Wang Xi was not as agile as Hao Ren, he would change from attacking to defending. After all, the earth-elemental dragons excelled in defense!
Little White could only attack from a distance by spitting out fireballs. However, it could spit no more than three powerful fireballs in a short while. If it tried to bite him in close range, it was no match for Wang Xi.
“Let’s fight this out!” While the yellow light around his body darkened, Wang Xi’s black sword suddenly hacked toward Hao Ren.
Hao Ren withdrew all 320 sword energies and took out an ordinary sword from his necklace; it was one he had confiscated from the Fifth Heaven. He injected nature essence into it and condensed a five-colored long sword.
He knew that no tricks or sneak-attacks would work on Wang Xi who was at Xun-level. He had to fight him with his own strength!
Dang!
Their swords collided with each other.
Hao Ren’s longsword wavered, and his body was forced back five to six steps.
Wang Xi advanced and hacked toward Hao Ren again.
Dang! Their swords collided again.
It was not only a competition of dharma treasures but a competition of nature essence as well!
Hao Ren’s sword had two big chips in it; it was not as good as Wang Xi’s black sword.
Dang! It was another collision.
The sword in Hao Ren’s hands was going to break into two, and his heels were touching the edge of the arena.
“Loan me swords!” Hao Ren called out to the cultivators behind him.
Hua! Hua… Immediately, five to six long swords were tossed up from behind him.
Hao Ren caught one and blocked Wang Xi’s attack with it.
Dang! The sound was even crisper.
No match for Wang Xi’s black sword, this sword got a small chip in it, and Hao Ren’s meridians received more shock than the sword.
There was a difference of two realms between Gen-level and Xun-level, and fighting with nature essence was the most reliable way for Wang Xi to win!
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! The swords collided four times with each other.
Seeing that this new grey sword was about to break into two, Hao Ren kicked up another sword with his toes and continued to battle with Wang Xi.
Such a fight seemed crude, but it was a competition of strength!
In the blink of an eye, the five to six swords were all chipped while Hao Ren turned from one edge of the arena to another.
“Loan me swords!” Hao Ren called out again.
Generously, the cultivators tossed another six to seven swords onto the arena.
Hao Ren, at Gen-level, was fighting a Xun-level cultivator with pure force, and many audience members admired him for this, including those who were not members of the water-elemental dragon clans.
“I’ll see how many swords you can get!” With the black sword in his hands, Wang Xi hacked toward him continuously.
In the violent collisions, Hao Ren’s dragon core became unstable, and the spiritual core in the Qihai acupoint above the dragon core started to shake.
Snap! Snap… Several openings in Hao Ren’s dragon core were unblocked until the number of unblocked openings reached 136!
“Hao Ren, catch!” More than ten meters away, Zhao Yanzi threw a long golden spear toward Hao Ren as if she was throwing a javelin.
Coiled Dragon Golden Spear!
