54: Crimson Tiger vs. Golden-Winged Centipede King!

After that voice rang out, Lin Yuan immediately looked toward Zhao Shanhe's side in confusion, only to see an elegant middle-aged man.

Zhao Shanhe glanced at him and spoke testily, "Meng Changan, if you don't know how to use your mouth for speaking, you can donate it to someone in need."

Clearly, Zhao Shanhe and this elegant middle-aged man knew each other.

And it seemed their relationship was quite good.

At the very least, Lin Yuan could see that Zhao Shanhe did not feel any Life Qi at all because of the other's previous joke.

Then, Zhao Shanhe introduced him to Lin Yuan, "This is Meng Changan, my friend, and also one of the teachers at Modu Beast University."

"Hello, Teacher Meng."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello."

Meng Changan said with a smile, "Your name is Lin Yuan, right? Zhao Shanhe has mentioned you to me quite a few times."

"How about it? You've just enrolled, so you probably haven't decided on a mentor yet, right? Would you consider becoming my disciple?"

Before Meng Changan could even finish, Zhao Shanhe glared at him fiercely. "Meng Changan, don't make me beat you up."

"You shameless guy, who tries to poach a student right in front of someone else?"

"Hahahaha, just a joke, just a joke."

Meng Changan laughed a few times and said, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. The match is about to start, so let's focus on watching it."

"By the way, between Wang Linhu and Wu Xuangu, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"How would I know? They aren't my students."

Zhao Shanhe shrugged and spoke with an indifferent look, "Anyway, I'm just here for the show. Whoever wins has nothing to do with me."

Then, Zhao Shanhe turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan beside him. "What about you? Is there anyone you're rooting for among these two?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not very familiar with them either."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the match starts to judge who has a better chance of winning."

Just then, Meng Changan suddenly spoke up, "Look, those two have already entered the ring!"

After Meng Changan said this, Lin Yuan and Zhao Shanhe immediately looked toward the arena and saw two figures stepping onto the stage one after another.

One of them wore only a pair of extremely loose black trousers and walked onto the stage barefoot.

His skin was bronze-colored, and a necklace made of wolf fangs hung around his neck. He looked full of wild beauty.

The other person was also shirtless, but his physique was extremely burly, with knotted muscles that seemed to contain explosive power!

At the same time, his back was covered with flame-like crimson tattoos. From a distance, it looked like the head of a fierce tiger wreathed in flames, roaring angrily!

Without a doubt, this burly young man with the tiger tattoo was naturally Wang Linhu!

And the person who had stepped onto the stage before him was the current number one on the hidden dragon ranking, Wu Xuangu!

At this moment, outside the arena, countless eyes were watching them!

Because everyone wanted to know if the first and third ranks of the hidden dragon ranking were truly as powerful as they imagined!

Or... if they were just names without substance!

"In this match, Wang Linhu, ranked third on the hidden dragon ranking, will challenge Wu Xuangu, ranked first on the hidden dragon ranking!"

"During the match, both sides are allowed to use beast god weapons that match their own rank, but the use of any prohibited drugs is forbidden!"

"When one side surrenders or loses the ability to fight, the battle will be considered over!"

"After the duel ends, both sides should immediately stop attacking, otherwise it will be considered a serious violation!"

"Do the two contestants have any objections to the rules?"

The referee standing on the stage quickly read out the rules to the two of them.

Wu Xuangu and Wang Linhu both spoke at the same time, "No objections."

"Good."

The referee nodded and spoke in a deep voice, "Then please prepare yourselves. I announce... the duel officially begins!"

As soon as the referee's words fell, the atmosphere on the stage immediately became tense and volatile.

Although neither Wu Xuangu nor Wang Linhu immediately performed Beast Soul Fusion, an invisible pressure spread directly toward the surroundings.

"You're the first to challenge me. Do you think I'm a pushover?"

Wu Xuangu was the first to break the silence. He curled his lips into a faint smile as he looked at Wang Linhu, but his eyes were indescribably cold.

"No, it's just that you happened to be standing in my way."

Wang Linhu took a step forward, and a beast-like Aura radiated from his body. "The top spot on the hidden dragon ranking belongs to me!"

"Is that so? It seems you're quite confident."

Wu Xuangu's tone suddenly shifted as he spoke sharply, "Unfortunately... what I like to teach a lesson to most are those who think too highly of themselves!"

In the next second, without any hesitation, he chose to perform Beast Soul Fusion!

And his beast soul was precisely the Golden Winged Centipede King!

A giant centipede over ten meters long, its body shimmering with green light and its head golden-yellow, suddenly appeared before everyone!

This giant centipede had a pair of long antennae and a pair of compound eyes. Its mouthparts consisted of a pair of mandibles and a pair of maxillae. The dorsal part of its body was dark green, while the ventral part was yellowish-brown. It was divided into twenty-one segments, each with a pair of legs!

Most importantly, on the back of this giant centipede, translucent wings had grown, emitting a faint golden shimmer!

"Is this the sss-rank beast soul Golden Winged Centipede King? It's truly extraordinary."

"This pressure... Wu Xuangu has at least reached the Beast King Level!"

"No wonder he was at the top of the hidden dragon ranking on the day it was released. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"Tsk tsk, Wang Linhu has really hit a brick wall this time."

"Don't jump to conclusions so early. The duel has only just begun."

After Wu Xuangu completed his Beast Soul Fusion, discussions broke out among the audience.

Even in the depths of Zhao Shanhe and Meng Changan's eyes, a trace of surprise couldn't help but flash.

Clearly, Wu Xuangu's strength had also somewhat exceeded their expectations.

Lin Yuan also watched the Golden Winged Centipede King on the stage without blinking.

Although the battle hadn't started yet, Lin Yuan could already roughly judge the other's strength through the pressure Wu Xuangu emitted.

If he wasn't mistaken, the current Wu Xuangu had at least reached the strength of Beast King Level Four Stars!

Compared to the strength Wang Jinze had estimated in the intelligence, it was even higher!

However, despite completing the Beast Soul Fusion, Wu Xuangu was still in no hurry to launch an attack.

Because Wang Linhu had not yet performed Beast Soul Fusion.

Wu Xuangu's pride made him disdain taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.

He stared coldly at Wang Linhu with his dark golden compound eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "What are you still waiting for?"

"I have to say, you indeed didn't disappoint me."

Wang Linhu's lips curled into a grin, his eyes flashing with excitement. "It seems... there are opponents worth looking forward to in Modu Beast University after all!"

As soon as Wang Linhu's voice fell, he also performed Beast Soul Fusion without hesitation!

"Roar!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar of a wild beast.

The beast that let out this roar had light yellow fur, with black stripes running across its body. Above a pair of dark yellow beast eyes, there were thick black lines outlining the character for 'King'!!

This was Wang Linhu's beast soul, the Crimson Flame Violent Tiger!!

At this moment, a giant tiger wreathed in flames stood on the stage, also emitting the pressure of the Beast King Level!!
