Chapter 573: Chapter 363: Huaimiao’s First Battle

Generally speaking, if it were a truly important event, both Beast Masters would sign a Spiritual Contract.

Seeing that the boar-headed man before him showed no intention of signing a contract, Han Ning already had a basic understanding of the situation.

This guy was all bark and no bite. He looked brutish on the surface but was extremely cunning on the inside.

The elderly shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but Chi Ya glared with eyes larger than bronze bells. The old man instantly shuddered and stammered as he retreated.

The crowd of onlookers retreated to the spectator stands with a tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Chi Ya snorted coldly as the air in front of him warped.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

A massive, pig-shaped creature nearly fifteen meters tall, standing upright, slowly emerged from the rift. Its entire body was encased in a brass-like metal, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes and long, thick tusks.

"Come on, come on, hit us with everything you’ve got."

Chi Ya chuckled, a strange red light flashing in his enormous eyes.

The red tattoos on his body emitted a faint glow.

At the same time, the Wujin Pig King’s body strangely shrank by a size, but the brass-colored metal encasing it transformed as if it were alive, taking the form of a suit of Armor.

A sculpted pig’s head, its eyes burning with brilliant flames, appeared on the Wujin Pig King’s stomach.

"Monarch Level? A worthy opponent. Huaimiao, since he told you to attack with full force, don’t hold back. Catch it off guard."

"Thunder Roar."

Thunder Roar was the name Han Ning had given to a series of Huaimiao’s combination moves.

An attack carrying Thunder, hardening the body with the Metal Attribute, and the ability to see through an enemy’s disguise.

"Wuaah!"

Huaimiao seemed to understand that the opponent before it was formidable. It showed none of its usual liveliness, instead letting out a low cry and immediately assuming a fighting stance.

Hmph~

It crouched down and gently exhaled.

A low hum like a spinning turbine echoed from its limbs and bones.

CRACKLING arcs of electricity flickered and danced between its muscles.

With a low shout of "Ha!", Huaimiao twisted its legs, launching its massive body forward. Its right fist shot out like a cannonball, striking at the Wujin Pig King’s relatively vulnerable throat.

The Wujin Pig King, unhurried, raised its right arm to block, a bronze light glowing between its elbow and forearm.

BANG~

A dull clash of metal rang out in the arena. The powerful force of Huaimiao’s blow sent the Wujin Pig King stumbling back several steps, nearly losing its balance and falling to the ground.

Before the Wujin Pig King could react, Huaimiao’s iron fists also became coated in a bronze glow. Its fists moved like meteors as it brought a heavy crushing blow down from above.

At the same time, flickering blue arcs of electricity appeared in Huaimiao’s eyes.

The Wujin Pig King felt its body go numb. Unable to dodge in time, it could only hastily raise its arms to block.

Immediately after, Spiritual Energy formed a ferocious and tyrannical Fist Force that channeled through its fists, hammering down on the Wujin Pig King’s arms like a barrage of cannon fire.

DONG DONG DONG~

The sound, like a bronze hammer striking a bell, echoed through the battle arena.

"Roo?!"

The bronze color on the Wujin Pig King’s arms was shattered inch by inch, revealing the knotted muscles beneath, which were covered in specks of blood.

’The attack power is still not enough. A Monarch Level’s defense is just that strong.’

Han Ning’s brow furrowed as he noticed something unusual.

Although Huaimiao was attacking wildly right now, the Wujin Pig King was defending effectively and hadn’t taken much damage.

Once Huaimiao lost its momentum, the opponent would probably counterattack.

’Even with A Talent, it’s still a struggle for a Lord to fight a Monarch.’

Chi Ya, on the other side, had clearly noticed this as well. Recovering from his initial stupor at seeing the Wujin Pig King so thoroughly suppressed, he revealed a sarcastic smile and said:

"Tell your Soul Beast to put some more muscle into it. What, did it skip breakfast?"

"Keep going, keep going! Is that all the power you have? Get past it and come kill me directly!"

Chi Ya’s expression was arrogant as he continued to jeer, simultaneously making a neck-snapping gesture with his fingers toward Han Ning’s head.

「Outside the arena.」

"Huaimiao’s attacks aren’t working. Damn it, that two-faced pig Chi Ya has a real foul mouth." Lin Tianhe’s face was grim. Seeing Chi Ya’s passive-aggressive smile and gesturing pig-like hands, he knew exactly what he was doing.

"What’s the rush? He’s just messing with them." Bobo Man glanced over, sitting as steady as a rock, completely unfazed.

Meanwhile, many of the other Barbaric Beast Race People in the crowd hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Thinking the Wujin Pig King was about to lose, they were eager to stir up trouble and began to cheer excitedly.

"Beat it!"

"Go! Beat it!"

An unremarkable Alien Race Person defeating the Priest of the Flame Pig Clan in Lion City—what sensational news that would be.

「Inside the arena.」

"Don’t be impatient. You’re the one who said it."

When Han Ning saw Chi Ya’s blatant attempt to provoke him, his expression didn’t change at all.

"Oh? You don’t look convinced." Chi Ya’s voice grew louder.

Han Ning said no more.

He spoke to Huaimiao using his Spiritual Power: "Huaimiao, use Yin Thunder to stimulate your muscles to their maximum potential. Enter Critical Mode."

"WUAAAH!!"

Huaimiao, in the middle of its attack, faltered for a moment upon hearing the command, then let out a great roar.

Before everyone’s eyes, pitch-black serpents of electricity, like liquid ink, burst forth from its body.

In an instant, a wave of energy carrying a piercing and frenzied aura erupted from Huaimiao, spreading wildly outward!

WHOOSH—

Huaimiao’s body instantly swelled to more than three times its original size.
