435: Strange decisive battle conditions
Facing the Shadow that had once again vanished into the darkness, Lin Tianwei's eyes flashed with a fierce glint.
He didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with Shadow here.
Reaching the top of the Law Arena early, acquiring enough points early, and starting to comprehend the laws early—these were the things Lin Tianwei urgently needed to do.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei decided not to hide his strength any longer.
Conservatively estimated, there were at most two more Arena matches left, and he no longer had any reason to hold back.
Even if he unleashed all his strength now, he, who had successfully achieved nirvana with the heart of the heavenly sea, would still be able to grow even stronger in a short amount of time.
Assessing his future self with his current strength, even if it was just his self a hundred years from now, these foolish Cosmic Beasts would die a very miserable death.
Lin Tianwei's growth in strength truly exemplified what it meant to change day by day.
100%, full power!
The golden light representing the Beast King Domain shone, a sign of Lin Tianwei going all out.
Compared to the black Destruction Domain, the golden Beast King Domain was naturally more suitable for dispelling darkness.
The moment the golden light appeared, it rapidly began to occupy the entire Chaotic Domain, illuminating the entire space, leaving the darkness nowhere to hide, and also depriving Shadow of a place to conceal himself.
Within the Chaotic Domain, a black phantom was rapidly teleporting; clearly, that was Shadow, hidden within the shadows.
However, as the golden light's reach grew wider and wider, he had fewer and fewer places to hide, eventually being forced into a corner of the Chaotic Domain, unable to move.
Yet, this was the limit of the Beast King Domain; Shadow was, after all, a powerful existence ranked third in the Law Arena, and even the golden light representing the Beast King Domain could not completely annihilate him.
Being able to restrict the opponent to this small area was already the limit.
Looking at Shadow, who was within arm's reach, Lin Tianwei showed no politeness and once again launched a Destruction Thrust.
While the Beast King Domain was useful, its destructive power was far inferior to the Destruction Domain, so it was naturally not the first choice for offense.
Facing Lin Tianwei's lightning-fast attack, this time, Shadow managed to dodge.
Having transformed into a shadow, his body was as flexible as a shadow, easily evading Lin Tianwei's attack.
Not only that, but he also took advantage of the moment Lin Tianwei approached to launch a sneak attack.
A pitch-black Shadow Dagger once again stabbed towards Lin Tianwei.
However, Shadow was still a bit too naive; at this point, most areas in the Chaotic Domain were already occupied by Lin Tianwei's Beast King Domain, so how could he, with the absolute home-field advantage, be successfully ambushed by Shadow?
Easily dodging Shadow's attack, Lin Tianwei once again initiated an offense against Shadow.
If one attack couldn't hit, then he would launch a hundred attacks, ten thousand attacks.
Under Lin Tianwei's mental control, this time, there was more than just one Destruction Drill condensed in space.
Over a hundred Destruction Drills directly blocked all of Shadow's evasion routes.
Unless he could use the power of the Shadow Domain to create more space for himself, he would definitely be hit by Lin Tianwei's attack.
Both were black domain powers, yet there were clear differences between them.
The Shadow Domain, which specialized in hiding, and the Destruction Domain, which specialized in offense, clearly had no comparability.
This battle was decided the moment the two forces collided.
Instantly, Shadow's domain became riddled with holes.
Not only that, but a large amount of Shadow Domain was annihilated under Lin Tianwei's Destruction Domain; the outcome of this Arena match seemed to have already been decided.
With Lin Tianwei operating at full power, Shadow was no match at all, only capable of being unilaterally trampled.
However, only Lin Tianwei knew and could feel an extremely terrifying power brewing within the seemingly defeated Shadow before him.
The opponent might have reached a dead end, but for an assassin hidden in the darkness, a dead end was their most dangerous moment.
They would unleash everything, brewing the assassin's final strike—the Blood-Soaked Strike.
Just as Shadow was about to be completely annihilated by Lin Tianwei, a black light suddenly shot out from Shadow's body, launching an attack at Lin Tianwei's position with lightning speed.
Even though he was prepared, Lin Tianwei still underestimated this strike, which contained all of Shadow's power.
Despite his full-force evasion, he was still hit on his left paw by Shadow.
As if drained of colored ink, starting from where Lin Tianwei was hit, his entire Berserk Giant Bear body began to lose its color.
Eventually, it gradually transformed from a colorful style to a Black and White style.
Even with Lin Tianwei unleashing the full power of his domain, it appeared so pale and powerless before this Shadow power.
He could only watch, bit by bit, as his body gradually lost its color.
Lin Tianwei had reason to believe that once his body was completely decolorized, that would be the moment he met his death.
Was he going to fail? Was his undefeated legend going to end?
A flicker of indomitable will flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes; how could he fail here?
Power erupted. Just as Lin Tianwei's body was about to be stained Black and White, completely losing its vitality, a golden light once again rose from Lin Tianwei's body—that was his last domain power.
The moment this golden light appeared, it rapidly restored Lin Tianwei's body with lightning speed; the Black and White style quickly reverted to colorful.
Not only that, but it also rapidly counterattacked the black hole on Lin Tianwei's left paw, which represented the Shadow power.
The golden light and the black hole collided, their powers rapidly canceling each other out, and ultimately, Lin Tianwei's power proved superior.
As the black hole was completely annihilated, Lin Tianwei seemed to hear a muffled grunt in the air—that was Shadow's unwilling roar.
Yet, he was helpless.
Because he was simply no match for Lin Tianwei.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully defeating your opponent and winning this Arena match."
"Your offensive rating for this Arena match is: A, a brilliant offense and defense, but you still seemed to be holding back."
"Your defensive rating for this Arena match is: A, a brilliant offense and defense, but you still seemed to be holding back."
"Ding, since your opponent's strength is two major stages higher than yours, the overall rating for this Arena match will be increased by two tiers."
"Ding, your final overall Arena rating is: SS, you will receive 1000% of the points."
"Ding, after calculation, you have received a total of 30 million points for winning this Arena match (Base points 10000 * SSS-level rating 1000% * Purgatory difficulty bonus 5000% * Self-top-tier rating bonus * 600%)."

Remarks: Take another step, and the Heavensea God-King's treasures await you."
After winning this Arena match, Lin Tianwei's ranking in the Law Arena also reached third, just one step away from encountering the first-ranked.
Perhaps because this Arena match was destined to begin, the match against the second-ranked was almost immediately matched.
"Ding, congratulations on successful matching, your opponent is Day Tiger."
"Name: Day Tiger.
Ranking: 2.
Rating: Extraordinary (Enjoy a 500% challenge points bonus after winning)."
"Please confirm whether to enter the Arena."
"Ding, you have confirmed to enter the Arena. Please wait patiently for your opponent's choice."
"Ding, since Day Tiger is a phantom left by an ancient powerhouse, he will default to confirming entry into the Arena."
"Ding, the Arena match has begun. The venue for this Arena match is: Chaotic Domain."
Unexpectedly, when Lin Tianwei entered the Law Arena, he saw an incredibly familiar figure—it was another equally unremarkable Berserk Giant Bear.
It bore quite a resemblance to Lin Tianwei's current appearance.
Combined with the seemingly familiar name Day Tiger, Lin Tianwei became curious about who the opponent truly was.
Similar body templates, similar names—was it a coincidence, or was there indeed some connection between him and the opponent?
In fact, upon hearing the name Day Tiger, Lin Tianwei's first thought was to search for information about him.
From Filiche's memories, Lin Tianwei learned that Day Tiger was the true owner of the Day Tiger Merchant Guild, a super powerhouse who had survived from ancient times to the present.
His strength was unknown, but he possessed at least the strength of a Universe Master; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to own such a powerful force as the Day Tiger Merchant Guild.
There were even rumors that Day Tiger had a very good relationship with the Heavensea God-King and was one of the founders of the Law Arena.
Lin Tianwei found it very difficult to believe that such an ancient powerhouse would have any connection with him.
It must be a coincidence, Lin Tianwei concluded in his heart.
Although the probability of a coincidence was extremely low, in hundreds of millions of years, a single coincidence was a very normal occurrence.
Just as Lin Tianwei was curious about what kind of wondrous power this phantom belonging to Day Tiger possessed, he received a message from the Law Arena:
"Ding, your Arena opponent Day Tiger has sent you a challenge request. Please confirm whether to accept."
"Additional conditions for the challenge: Both sides can only fight with physical strength, and all Talent templates unrelated to the physical body are prohibited."
A challenge, it was actually a challenge! The opponent actually issued a challenge to Lin Tianwei before the Arena match officially began.
The conditions were even more unexpected for Lin Tianwei; it was an invitation to a close-quarters combat match.
Although he had some doubts, Lin Tianwei's pride would not allow him to refuse this so-called challenge request.
Lin Tianwei didn't know what schemes the opponent had, he only knew that his powerful physical body had never feared any close-quarters combat.
Lin Tianwei was, after all, a beast who had fought his way through countless close-quarters battles, and he possessed a Talent like the Heart of the Beast.
Although he had entered the universe and adopted a combat mode that leaned more towards energy competition, Lin Tianwei had not forgotten his beastly fighting instincts.
Close-quarters combat? Exactly what I want!
Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly agreed to Day Tiger's challenge request. If you want to fight, I will fight.
Strike first, or suffer later.
Almost the instant the waiting time ended, Lin Tianwei launched an attack on Day Tiger.
Even without the aid of wings, Lin Tianwei could still achieve void flight with his powerful physical strength.
His strong body, like a cannonball, fiercely charged towards Day Tiger's direction.
Coincidentally, Day Tiger seemed to have the same idea. Almost simultaneously with Lin Tianwei's attack, he too, like a cannonball, fiercely charged towards Lin Tianwei.
Bang, bang,
Accompanied by two dull thuds, two powerful bear paws met.
Immense power emanated from where the two paws connected. This was the first struggle of strength between Lin Tianwei and Day Tiger.
Evenly matched.
Even with Lin Tianwei unleashing all his Talent and almost all the power in his body, he still couldn't budge Day Tiger's bear paw.
Of course.
Day Tiger was also equally unable to budge Lin Tianwei's bear paw; both sides were evenly matched in this struggle of strength.
Not enough strength, make up for it with technique.
A fierce gleam flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes, and a groin kick fiercely flew towards Day Tiger's crotch.
For Cosmic Beasts, most Cosmic Beasts had long since abandoned the primitive method of sexual reproduction.
Even Cosmic Beasts that reproduced sexually wouldn't leave such an obvious weakness as reproductive organs, so the crotch was not a fatal weakness for Cosmic Beasts.
The reason for attacking there was merely a bad habit Lin Tianwei carried over from his human days.
Some habits couldn't be changed even after a hundred reincarnations.
Facing Lin Tianwei's inexplicably powerful groin kick, Day Tiger merely shifted his body slightly and dodged it; there was no trace of ursine sluggishness on him.
Not only that, but he also opened his Giant Maw, revealing a mouthful of Sharp Teeth, and fiercely bit towards Lin Tianwei's neck.
Because the previous groin kick was still in the recovery phase, and his paws were firmly held by the opponent, Lin Tianwei was unable to dodge this attack for a moment and was bitten hard on his neck by Day Tiger.
Day Tiger's terrifying biting force instantly left several tooth marks on Lin Tianwei's neck.
Not only that, but Day Tiger also bit down firmly on Lin Tianwei's neck, showing no intention of letting go.
If Lin Tianwei were still the ordinary Siberian Tiger from when he lived on Earth, this fatal blow aimed at the neck alone would have been enough to kill Lin Tianwei.
Unfortunately, he was no longer an Earth creature dependent on blood function and air supply.
This seemingly terrifying injury actually had no effect on Lin Tianwei's combat effectiveness.
The only thing affected was Lin Tianwei's teeth, as he couldn't attack Day Tiger while his neck was bitten.
No teeth? But Lin Tianwei still had other means of attack.
Using his right foot again, this time, Lin Tianwei exerted force with both paws, his body swaying with Flexibility, and his right leg actually kicked upwards, fiercely striking Day Tiger's bear head.
The most important point right now was to save his neck.
Although it wasn't fatal to Lin Tianwei, it would consume a lot of his stamina and would also restrict one of his strongest weapons, his Sharp Teeth. (End of Chapter)
