　Clack clack clack...

　Wu Di could clearly hear the sound of his ribs breaking in his chest. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and as he opened his mouth wide, blood spurted out like a geyser. His body, which had been ascending, was immediately pressed down, carried by the heavy hammer, hurtling toward the ground like a cannonball!

　Boom!

　A meteor falling to earth, plummeting from the sky.

　The hard, large slabs of green oak on the ground were broken open like tofu, forming a round hole. The soil and rocks beneath were even more affected, deeply indented into a circular pit, making Wu Di's figure completely invisible on the flat surface of the earth.

　The entire arena shook violently, and the iron roof and walls above and around emitted a long, continuous tremor.

　Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...

　The trembling continued for a long time in the arena. The Apes and Spirit Beasts in the air landed gracefully amidst the incessant buzzing and shaking of the venue.

　There was no need to check; the Beastman was indeed tough, but such a heavy blow, without any Soul Power defense, might have already punched through his chest, leaving no chance of survival!

　Ape Fierce exhaled deeply, his face breaking into a smile. Raising his hand with a spirited air, he instantly received cheers from the crowd, treated like a hero. He looked in the direction of Wang Feng and others, then extended one finger, pointing at the silent pit where Wu Di lay, "This is just the beginning. Those who do not know their place and dare to defy the rules will meet the same fate. The Rose will fall under our feet!"

　The last words were shouted, echoing through the sky. This was truly a performance without any pretense, full of arrogance and confidence.

　Although the one killed was just a lowly and insignificant Beastman, the words spoken by the deputy leader of the Ape Squad were so inspiring that they dispelled the previous feelings of suppression and anger caused by Winnie Lee. All the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary cheered.

　"The Rose Holy Sanctuary, overestimating its own strength, protecting Beastmen and aligning with these filthy fools, actually dared to challenge us, the Beast Holy Sanctuary. It is truly laughable and hateful!"

　"Disable the rest of them! We must not let these dirty things that disrupt the League of Blades leave our Beast Holy Sanctuary standing!"

"That beast woman Kela, that shameless Wang Feng who dared to recruit beasts into the Holy Sanctuary! If you have the guts, come out and face your death!"

"Right! Disable them! Just like crushing that dead dog earlier!"

The crowd in the stands was seething with excitement, their shouts shaking the entire arena.

Provoking Winnie Lee was out of the question; neither her background nor her strength could be challenged by the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary. The fat man looked shifty-eyed, and the big-chested girl seemed to have given up on herself, but they were merely peripheral figures, not worth much mention. All the fury was focused on Wang Feng and Kela, as if they wanted to flay and dismember these two!

Wiggins finally allowed a hint of a smile to cross his tense face, turning to Wang Feng, "Pick your opponent for the next match!"

Wang Feng remained calm, his insect eyes already open and monitoring Wu Di's condition. This guy was just one step away from awakening, "You're celebrating too soon. I should thank you."

Wiggins frowned, puzzled by what this guy was about to say, "Thank us for what?"

Old Wang slowly pointed to the sunken pit in the arena. In the perception of the insect god seed, a primal force was awakening, growing, and flourishing there!

"Thank you for your deputy's attack, and thank you for the taunts from the Beast Holy Sanctuary," Old Wang said cheerfully, "Wu Di is about to awaken. Oh, you've saved me a lot of money!"

Damn it, if Wu Di didn't awaken soon, he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. There were too many people to feed, and being a nursemaid was really tough.

"Talking nonsense, what rubbish!" Wiggins sneered, but then the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly, making him pause.

It wasn't just him; the trembling grew stronger, and everyone in the arena felt it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...

The noisy scene fell into a brief silence, and all eyes turned curiously to the center of the arena. There was no battle there, so where was this vibration coming from?

Crack, crack!

A few sharp cracks echoed as several fissures suddenly spread from the edges of the originally smooth circular pit in the arena.

Immediately after, all the green oak stone tiles around the small circular pit burst open, as if a thick sapling were about to grow from that spot. A roughly two to three square meter area of land suddenly heaved upward, forming a small hill-like protrusion.

Thud, thud, thud!

The arena fell completely silent. At this moment, everyone heard the sudden and terrifying heartbeat from deep underground, strong and vibrant with life.

Ape Tyrant’s expression changed slightly. Standing in the arena, he felt it most directly. The power brewing beneath the ground was truly terrifying, like a prehistoric beast, its blood surging to the sky, as if a pair of eyes filled with boundless fury were staring at him from below.

Is it that Beastman? Bloodline awakened?

To be honest, everyone has heard of breakthroughs on the brink of life and death, which seem quite common, but they are the accumulation of miracles passed down through generations over centuries. How many have actually witnessed it? Out of a thousand people facing true life and death, perhaps only one survives, and among those, even fewer, one in ten thousand, can awaken miraculously!

How could it be so coincidental!

Soul power flared up violently around Ape Tyrant, while the Dragon Ape beside him let out a low, muffled roar, with streams of light flowing over the two black gold heavy hammers, ready to strike the strange entity emerging from underground into a pulp!

The tremors beneath the ground paused for a moment.

It’s coming out!

Everyone held their breath, and then—

Bang!

A massive dark shadow suddenly shot out from the raised ground!

It was a huge, golden-furred beast arm, stretching over two to three meters long, seemingly even thicker than the Dragon Ape’s thigh!

What is this?! A Spirit Beast?!

All the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary in the stands were taken aback. Only a Spirit Beast could suddenly appear out of nowhere and have such a massive arm. However, the question was, there had been no trace of spatial fluctuations or any summoning array appearing on the field. Where did this Spirit Beast come from?

"Soul Link!"

Ape Berserk roared in anger, forming a strange hand seal in front of his chest that emitted a faint blue light. Then, a thread-like beam of light shot out, connecting to the Dragon Ape beside him.

The towering figure over three meters tall beside him leaped into the air. The surging energy from Ape Berserk flowed through the blue thread of the Soul Link, pouring into the body of the Spirit Beast.

At this moment, the Dragon Ape's soul power nearly doubled. The huge hammer in its hands shone like two small blue suns, radiating blinding blue light that enveloped the massive body of the Dragon Ape, transforming it into a blue star that carried the force of a thousand pounds, hurtling down toward the golden-furred arm that had just emerged from the ground!

The terrifying light and the fearsome impact caused the airflow around the attack to make many people in the stands feel as if they couldn't open their eyes. In terms of sheer destructive power, it had already reached the limits of Tiger Peak!

A falling star, unstoppable.

Star Ape Burst Charge!

At the same time, the cracked ground exploded, sending debris and soil flying everywhere. A streak of light shot up, colliding with the descending star with a thunderous boom!

Boom!

Blue and golden light scattered in all directions, and the swirling air currents blew like a mini typhoon, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the strong wind.

When the gusts finally subsided and everyone eagerly opened their eyes to look up at the sky...

They saw two massive figures facing off, the heavy hammer glowing blue firmly held in two large hands!

To say they were facing off might be too generous for the Dragon Ape. In fact, the Dragon Ape's face was now filled with terror, thick veins bulging on its forehead. Its arms and body trembled slightly from the desperate effort to resist, while the one controlling the hammer was a golden figure!

That was a long-armed monster, its arms nearly as long as its height, incomparably robust, with broad palms larger than its own head, occupying almost one-fifth of its entire body. Its curved claws and rough calluses made the two large hammers of the Dragon Ape seem like mere toys in its hands, held steadily without a waver. Only the clearly visible golden hairs on its body swayed slightly in the air, making it appear even more valiant and extraordinary.

What... is this thing?

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the momentary stalemate in mid-air. Even Old Wang couldn't help but smack his lips, "Holy shit, what a surprise!"

It's a Behemoth, but not an ordinary one; it's a Golden Behemoth!

He had infiltrated Wu Di's mind demons within the Soul Refining Array, yet he couldn't clearly see the dark figure in the cage. After all, Wu Di's self-awareness hadn't truly awakened back then, so the shadow was just a formless consciousness. Old Wang could only speculate on a few possibilities based on his experience.

This is one of the ten original golden bloodlines of the Beast Race!

Indeed, this Golden Behemoth hasn't yet developed the unique bloodline pressure of the Golden Clan, and its size seems somewhat smaller, appearing rather young, with its aura still lacking the overwhelming power of a true world-shaking deity. But... but this is still a Golden Behemoth!

This is a genuine direct descendant of the Beast God! Fighting this Dragon Ape is like a father bullying his son!

Boom!

During the 'stalemate,' both had already crashed to the ground, the Golden Behemoth's terrifying weight causing the arena to shake violently. It was only after it landed that everyone finally recognized its identity.

A large indentation was visible on its chest, muscles and bones sunken in. Recalling the earlier scene, the beastman Wu Di had been struck in the chest by the Dragon Ape's heavy hammer, suffering severe injuries...

Crack!

A strange sound echoed, and everyone drew a sharp breath. The two black gold hammers in the Behemoth's hands were actually deformed by its terrifying strength!

The Dragon Ape's eyes were filled with terror.

"Roar!" The Golden Behemoth's eyes glowed with a brilliant golden light. With a powerful thrust of its arms, it lifted the Dragon Ape, which was about the same size as itself, and slammed it brutally into the ground.

Boom!

The arena trembled, the ground cracked. In just one strike, the blue soul power radiating from the Dragon Ape dimmed, blood gushed from its nose and mouth, and the hands that had been gripping the black gold hammer loosened.

But this was only the beginning. The eyes of the Golden Behemoth glowed with ferocity. He released the deformed black gold hammer and then grabbed the Dragon Ape's ankle with one hand.

"Roar! Roar roar roar!"

Boom! Boom boom boom!

The poor Dragon Ape was now like a sandbag, being swung and slammed down, swung and slammed down by the raging Golden Behemoth.

Rumble...

The entire arena buzzed with the vibrations, the earth shook, and the green oak stone tiles on the ground shattered and crumbled, forming two or three-meter-long, two or three-meter-wide ape-shaped pits!

Blood splattered everywhere, the air in the venue filled with a mix of the stench of blood and excrement, as the Dragon Ape's blood, feces, and urine sprayed all over the ground.

After seven or eight strikes, when the Behemoth finally stopped, the Dragon Ape was nearly reduced to a ragged strip. Its body lay limp and boneless, twisted on the ground, breathing out but not in.

The fierce posture of the giant beast left the entire arena silent, where even a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone stared in shock at the terrifying figure, watching as the Golden Behemoth released the almost deformed ankle of the Dragon Ape and gently nudged its body, which remained motionless.

This was a Dragon Ape, one of the top five strongest Spirit Beasts in the Vern Sanctuary, and it had been beaten into a state of idiocy by that creature?

Cold sweat dripped from everyone's foreheads, their eyes trembling, while the Ape Berserker in the arena was stunned into immobility. He stared blankly at the terrifying presence that seemed to be playing with the Dragon Ape's 'corpse.' Then, in the next second, the Golden Behemoth suddenly turned his head!

The terrifying gaze and the overwhelming aura made the Ape Berserker's heart skip a beat. His breath caught in his throat, making a 'gurgling' sound, and without even needing to admit defeat, he fell backward, unconscious.

The towering Golden Behemoth did not attack; it didn’t even spare a glance at the fallen figure as it let out a mighty roar to the sky.

At this moment, the vast arena fell silent, with hundreds of disciples from the Beast Holy Sanctuary standing in complete stillness, not a sound to be heard.

There was no doubt that this was not some suddenly appearing Spirit Beast. No one had ever seen a talking Spirit Beast—this was Wu Di, the beastman from earlier.

Second match: Wu Di wins!

………………

The third battle did not immediately follow.

The Dragon Ape was nearly killed, and its rage was disrupted by Wu Di’s terrifying presence, almost leading to a loss of control. At this moment, two exorcists were on the field directly treating him, using exorcism techniques to guide his soul power back to normal, preventing him from becoming a cripple.

The Old Wang Squad also needed some time.

After all, it was Wu Di's first awakening and transformation, and he didn’t know how to change back. Old Wang told him that he just needed to calm down and guide his soul power in reverse, but since this was his first time, and it was the first time Wu Di had possessed soul power, it wasn’t something he could master after just one explanation. It wasn’t that easy.

In his transformed state, Wu Di’s personality and temperament were completely different from his usual self, much more irritable and easily provoked. Additionally, his entire aura had changed. The former Wu Di gave off an impression of being simple and honest, but now, in his Golden Behemoth form, he exuded an unparalleled dominance. This wasn’t just a change in appearance; it was also due to his terrifying eyes and sharp gaze. Wherever he looked, whoever he looked at, there was a sense of defiance and arrogance, making people hesitant to meet his gaze, as if any disagreement would immediately provoke him to leap over and slaughter them until blood flowed like rivers and the sun and moon lost their light.

Not to mention the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary in the stands, even Fantasi, who had curiously tried to touch the long fur on Wu Di’s head, was scared stiff by a cold glance from Wu Di and dared not make another move.

Only Old Wang could touch him, rubbing and pinching as he pleased. Wu Di had a special relationship with Old Wang; he could touch him, but others couldn’t, not even Winnie. Oh, right, Kela could also touch him…

The arena buzzed with low whispers, each side busy with their own tasks. After about ten minutes, the initial soul power guidance for the enraged ape was completed, and it seemed the situation was temporarily stabilized. He was then quickly carried away.

On the Old Wang side, it took a few more minutes. The transformed Wu Di was clearly much smarter than before, and under Old Wang’s guidance, he quickly found the rhythm to guide his soul power. His body surface shimmered with soul power, and then his body began to rapidly shrink in circles, transforming back into Wu Di’s original form in just three to five seconds.

The wound on his chest seemed to be no longer a major concern, leaving only a shallow hammer mark. However, his clothes were a bit of an issue, as the terrifying size of the Golden Behemoth had torn his outerwear, underwear, and even his underpants into shreds. Now completely naked, Fantasi fetched a set of his own rose-patterned clothes from his backpack for Wu Di to wear. Despite the height and build differences, they fit surprisingly well.

At this moment, Wu Di's eyes had returned to their usual honest and good-natured look. Feeling somewhat embarrassed about having glared at Fantasi and Winnie earlier, he stammered out apologies to the two of them. They naturally didn't mind; Winnie patted his head, while Asixiba jumped over with a laugh, excitedly putting an arm around his shoulder: "You're awesome, kid! Let's practice later, both in our transformed states. This time, we'll be evenly matched!"

Wu Di nodded foolishly, a misty look in his eyes, though his spirits seemed less than high. Old Wang knew that such a bloodline transformation was very draining on one’s vital energy. At this point, Wu Di clearly looked somewhat weak and most needed rest, rather than being overly agitated: "Alright, alright, let's celebrate later. We’re running short on time, and we still have another match!"

The faces of Wiggins and his companions turned ashen. Who could have thought that after all their meticulous planning, they would end up being beaten 2-0 by Rose right from the start.

They were already on the brink of life and death, and another loss would mean elimination. The entire team was on edge, but the opposing side still acted so carefree, spouting off and showing no respect for the Beast Holy Sanctuary!

"Wang Feng!" Wiggins was practically fuming, gritting his teeth as he said: "As a respectable team captain, you hide behind your teammates, sniping from the shadows! If you have the guts, come out... Ha, you’re just a sycophant, I doubt you have the nerve!"

Kela and Fantasi were both eager to step up, but Old Wang walked onto the field directly: "Such a childish provocation, are you really going to play with me?"

Seeing Wang Feng step forward, not only the Beast Holy Sanctuary, but even the Old Wang Squad, except for Mapeier, were all stunned.

Wu Di stared blankly at the captain, Fantasi and Kela gaped open-mouthed, while Winnie’s eyes nearly fell out: "Damn, Wang Feng, you’re going to get killed. These guys aren’t Hei Wukai, do you think you can pull off the thirty-second man joke again?"

"Afeng, are you bankrupt? What’s got you so down..."

With the captain stepping up, the team members didn’t cheer or encourage him; instead, they collectively froze and started complaining. Such treatment was truly unprecedented.
