Chapter 78: A Full Meal First

"We aren't competing anymore! Just let your Younger Sister go contend for a Lower-level Spirit Mansion later!"

Jubiao Mother could no longer concern herself with any Zhong Ji Lingfu.

Her son's life was the only thing that mattered!

A match spanning two tiers—this was simply throwing one's life away!

Zhang Yi heard Jubiao Mother's shouting, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Admit defeat? How could that be?

Having finally waited for the chance to enter the arena, how could he just give up like this?

Besides, admitting defeat in front of so many Demon Beasts, where would he put his face?

However, Third-rank Great Divine Beast...

This gap was just too large!

But Zhang Yi understood in his heart.

Although the risk of dueling a Third-rank Great Divine Beast was too great, likewise, once he took down his opponent, he wouldn't have to worry about his meals for the time being.

This was a Third-rank Great Divine Beast, after all; Shizhentian's demon core would allow him to refine a massive amount of Divine Power.

If Zhang Yi's thought were heard by the Demon Beasts below, they would likely laugh themselves to death.

A First-tier Great Divine Beast, before the fight had even started, was actually already coveting the demon core of a Third-rank Great Divine Beast.

Shizhentian had already walked onto the Arena.

Once this guy was on the Arena, the fur all over his body bristled, making him look fierce and menacing.

Looking down at Zhang Yi from a high position, his eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

"Little bird, I heard you're very arrogant? You actually dare to challenge me? Today I'll let you know what true strength is!"

At the very beginning.

The Great Demon of the Demon Saint Mansion was registering.

Zhang Yi had just pointed at a Demon Beast at random to be his opponent; he hadn't thought about it that much at all.

This Shizhentian bared his mouth, revealing sharp fangs.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Now was not the time to be afraid; even if he knew he would lose, he had to fight with all his might!

"Yellow hair, nice style, where did you get it done?"

Zhang Yi whistled, feigning composure.

Zhang Yi knew that the more he faced a powerful opponent, the less he could act like a coward.

"You're courting death!"

Shizhentian roared in anger, his massive body instantly turning into a bolt of golden lightning, lunging fiercely toward Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi hurriedly dodged; Shizhentian's sharp claws grazed his body, kicking up a gust of wind and leaving several deep scratch marks on his clothes.

"Your speed isn't bad!"

Shizhentian sneered and launched another attack.

While dodging Shizhentian's attacks, Zhang Yi was desperately thinking of a countermeasure.

Going head-to-head definitely wouldn't work; he could only win by wit!

His eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind.

"Shizhentian, do you think you're invincible just because you broke through to Third-rank Great Divine Beast?"

While dodging, he loudly mocked, "Let me tell you, I've already seen through your weakness!"

"Weakness? What weakness do I have?"

Shizhentian was provoked by Zhang Yi's words, and his attacks became even more violent.

"Your weakness is..."

Zhang Yi deliberately drew out his voice, whetting Shizhentian's appetite, "Your fur is too long! It affects your speed!"

Shizhentian was stunned; he looked down at his own golden fur and was instantly consumed by rage.

"Nonsense! My fur is the symbol of my Lion Clan's glory! How dare you insult it like this!"

"Glory? I think it's a burden!"

Zhang Yi continued to mock, "Look at you, you look like a fur ball when you run; no wonder your speed is so slow!"

"Brat, you're courting death!"

Shizhentian was completely enraged. He roared toward the sky, golden light flared on his body, and a powerful aura instantly erupted, causing the entire Arena to tremble violently.

Oh no! Zhang Yi cried out inwardly; this Shizhentian was about to use his ultimate move!

Zhang Yi spread his wings, a pair of golden wings, incomparably dazzling.

Zhang Yi saw Shizhentian's bloody maw opened wide, the airflow in his throat whistling, and his Adam's apple trembling, like a balloon about to explode.

He cursed inwardly: "This damn lion is about to use his ultimate move!" He knew that Shizhentian was about to unleash his signature technique—the Lion Roar Technique.

If this lion hadn't broken through to the third rank, Zhang Yi might have been able to withstand it.

But now... he didn't want to gamble with his own life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi used the Earth Escape Technique without hesitation, and his figure instantly vanished from the Arena.

Almost at the same time, a deafening lion's roar resounded throughout the entire arena, as if it were about to shatter people's eardrums.

The Arena trembled even more violently, cracking into countless fissures as gravel flew everywhere.

The Demon Beasts watching from all around were instantly thrown into chaos, fleeing in all directions like headless flies, terrified of being caught in the wake of this terrifying Lion Roar Technique.

Some timid Demon Beasts were even scared out of their wits, crying for their parents.

Shizhentian stood on the Arena, triumphantly shaking his mane.

He felt that this earth-shattering roar of his must have surely blasted that ignorant little bird into powder.

After all, this roar had nearly exhausted all the energy in his entire body; its power was immense and indestructible.

He didn't even check the result, arrogantly nodding at the Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion beside the Arena to signal that he had already won and they could announce the result.

However, those Great Demons remained motionless, standing there like statues, with not a single one coming up to announce the result.

Shizhentian was puzzled: What is going on? Could these fellows have all been stunned silly by my Lion Roar Technique?

In truth, these Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion were not stunned silly; rather, they had not detected any aura of death from Zhang Yi at all.

In other words, Zhang Yi was still alive!

According to the rules, as long as Zhang Yi was not dead and had not voluntarily conceded, the match could not be terminated.

Shizhentian waited for a while, and seeing that still no one came over, he felt even more suspicious.

He scratched his head, thinking: Could that little bird really be so tough? It actually wasn't blasted to death by my Lion Roar Technique?

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly felt an unusual movement coming from beneath his feet.

He looked down and was instantly scared out of his wits.

He saw a small hole appear on the Arena, and a golden claw reached out from the hole, grabbing his ankle in one go.

"Ah!"

Shizhentian let out a startled cry, and before he could react, he was dragged into the ground by a massive force.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?"

This was Shizhentian's final thought before he lost consciousness.

Zhang Yi was secretly pleased underground: "Hehe, playing dirty with me? You're still too green!"

It turned out that while he was using the Earth Escape Technique to dodge the Lion Roar Technique just now, he had also quietly dug a pit underground, just waiting for Shizhentian to jump into it himself.

Zhang Yi dragged Shizhentian into a hidden cave underground.

Having been ravenously hungry for a long time, he bit directly into Shizhentian's neck.

He began to eat in large mouthfuls.

Regardless of anything else, he would have a full meal first.

Only after eating and drinking his fill did Zhang Yi crawl out from the soil and pat the dust off his body.

He looked at the empty Arena.

At this moment.

The Demon Beasts surrounding the Arena still did not know what had happened.

Several Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion had already walked over.

They immediately announced: Wangri Bird, victory!
