176: Chapter 176 Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

The deployment of a Domain was supposed to be the finishing touch to kill an opponent, but he hadn't expected it to be shattered on the spot.

Jin Shengluo hadn't anticipated this and was initially shocked, but what followed was a surge of excitement.

Over the years, he had been fighting and sparring with the other nine monsters; he had grown somewhat weary, even finding it boring.

Chen Xing's appearance caused Jin Shengluo's Battle Intent to blaze once more.

"My Lord, I think I'm starting to understand you, what it means to be lonely at the top..." A tall figure surfaced in Jin Shengluo's mind.

Of course, he wasn't invincible in reality, nor could he truly experience the feeling of being peerless.

"I've studied your Golden Roc Secret Manual a bit, though I'm not very proficient. When you lose, would you mind sharing your insights with me?" Chen Xing spoke with a smile.

"When I lose? Heh... It was just a minor Domain. It seems you enjoyed breaking it." The corner of Jin Shengluo's mouth curled into a cold sneer.

"You think you're going to win?"

Hearing this, Chen Xing gave a relaxed smile.

"I will win." He spoke with a calm expression that was both earnest and serious.

Jin Shengluo stood rooted like a javelin, quietly watching his opponent, speechless for a full two or three seconds.

A moment later, though they hadn't exchanged a word, they vanished from their spots as if by mutual agreement.

After a brief silence, a new roar exploded in the Void Realm, bursting with blinding celestial light.

"Bang! Bang! Bang—!"

Using Golden Roc Divine Power, Jin Shengluo covered his entire body with countless feathers, creating a simplified version of a Domain.

This time, he chose to forgo Battle Technique attacks and return everything to the primitive.

The Golden-Winged Great Roc was a mythical beast among demons, possessing an exceptionally powerful Physical Body. Even when his Ability was still the Golden-Winged Eagle, he had already focused on Physical Body Cultivation.

Chen Xing knew his own Physical Body was slightly inferior, but he continued to engage in close-quarters combat, using speed to his advantage.

Eventually, both were struck by their opponent, and their arms and bodies suffered varying degrees of injury.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xing was circulating light to recover, only to find something stuck, suppressing his healing power.

Jin Shengluo pressed his palms together and let out a low growl, dispelling his opponent's light mark before rapidly recovering himself.

Chen Xing immediately realized that this guy wasn't just arrogant. Although the other party believed he couldn't lose, he still deliberately studied his opponents.

Jin Shengluo naturally knew about Chen Xing's freakish recovery, which was so Heaven-Defying that he didn't even need to master the Life Ray.

To counter this, he had teamed up with Number One through Number Ten, having all the Flower God Guardss research it together.

"This guy... he's got a sharp tongue, but his attitude is serious." Below the stage, Qin Feng also noticed the details.

"Haha, everyone here is an expert who fought their way up. They all have their own convictions. Arrogance is normal, but arrogance doesn't mean underestimating the enemy," Zhong Yang said with a smile.

"I see. Even though these guys have bad attitudes, they give their all when they fight," Qin Feng nodded.

"Of course. When the Universe Tournament reopens in the future and you participate, you'll understand. Underestimating the enemy is the ultimate taboo. As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit!" For the first time, Zhong Yang showed a solemn expression.

However, within two seconds, he returned to his usual self: "Hahaha, I've said too much, said too much."

Qin Feng looked at him, feeling curious. "Big shot, you're so powerful and you love to have fun. Did you ever suffer from underestimating an enemy in the past?"

"Cough, cough...!" Zhong Yang waved his hands repeatedly as if he were choking.

"That was ages ago. Anyway, since then, I open my Domain the moment I see someone. Only those who aren't crushed by the Domain have the right to negotiate with me."

"Just like Old Chen. Ever since he was nearly assassinated while suppressing the Evil Path remnants, he attacks on sight. He uses Light Step even when walking, and now he looks at everyone with his Eyes of Light," Qin Feng laughed.

"I did it before him, so he's the one like me!" Zhong Yang corrected him with a serious face.

"You actually care about that?" Qin Feng looked at him; he didn't look like a powerhouse at all. He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Truly a seeker of fun.

*Bang!*

On the battlefield, as soon as Jin Shengluo recovered, he immediately made his Move.

He knew that with Chen Xing's myriad Battle Technique Fusions, he would eventually come up with a healing ray to solve the problem, so it was best to strike first.

Jin Shengluo went all out, pushing his speed and armor-piercing capabilities to the limit, just to deny Chen Xing any spare time to heal himself.

And Chen Xing had never underestimated his opponent. Someone who could break into the top hundred of the Alliance and had once killed a True God head-on was terrifyingly powerful.

Had he not also defeated a True God last year and made new progress this year, he certainly wouldn't have been so reckless.

Of course, it's only called reckless if you lose; if you win, it's called the confidence of the strong.

"He's not running away? He's actually taking the initiative to attack me. What is he trying to do?"

During the exchange, Jin Shengluo discovered that Chen Xing had stopped trying to heal himself and had launched a fierce assault instead.

Could this guy be so fierce that he wants to fight through his injuries until he forces out an Innate Divine Ability?

Jin Shengluo didn't know what he was thinking, but he still didn't dare underestimate him. He unleashed all sorts of Moves to suppress his opponent.

*Hum!*

However, after the tenth round of fighting, a change occurred.

A blinding light appeared behind Chen Xing's head. Amidst the flickering, the light fused and turned into a ring.

The crowd gasped. That was the Ring of Light!

The corner of Jin Shengluo's mouth turned up. He thought to himself: Finally using it? Good. Let's see whose comprehension of their Natal Treasure is superior.

*Boom!*

A massive multicolored beam of light shot out from the ring, forcing Jin Shengluo back.

Meanwhile, the Ring of Light was spinning rapidly, divided into seven orientations, each representing a type of light he mastered.

Jin Shengluo raised his hand, about to summon his Natal Treasure, but his gaze froze in confusion.

Because Chen Xing's cultivation level hadn't increased!

"What's going on? When a Natal Treasure comes out, Chen Xing should temporarily step into the Three Heavens Realm."

"Why is he still in the Spirit Seed Realm? Could the suppression of the Yin Yang Arena be too strong?"

"Impossible. Issues like that were considered when the arena was first built. The designers couldn't have made such a mistake."

"What about his cultivation? Is this Ring of Light a fake?"

"..."

The crowd was in an uproar; no one could figure out what was happening.

Finally, it was the Sword Tower's Young Lord, Young Master Lin Daoming, who spoke up.

"It is a fake, but it's of a 'high-quality imitation' level," he said.

"A fake?" The others were stunned.

Young Master Lin Daoming pointed at Jin Shengluo and said, "Among his Natal Treasures, one is the Golden Feather Raiment. What he's currently wearing is a high-quality imitation he made himself."

"Chen Xing is doing the same. The Ring of Light only needs to appear; he doesn't need to control it personally for it to function automatically and heal his injuries."

Young Master Lin Daoming also felt a bit speechless. He had originally investigated Chen Xing because of Ye Jianxing to understand his opponent.

As a result, because he knew so much, he had ended up becoming a commentator.

Hearing this, everyone realized the truth.

They had thought Chen Xing was out of Moves and had used his trump card, but it turned out he was just using Jin Shengluo's own trick.

"I can't believe it can be done like that. I was too shallow!" Many people slapped their thighs in realization.

"This battle... is getting more and more interesting!" Red light flashed with excitement in Mo Xin's eyes as she continuously scanned Chen Xing.
