Chapter 137, Section 136: [The outcome of the allocation of the Divine Fiends is not in Liangshan, but in Tokyo.]

Black Whirlwind's black fur shortened, its canines protruded, its claws lengthened, and a cold, eerie light shone from its eyes. Clear saliva dripped from its mouth as it glared fiercely at the Red Captain beside it.

Unlike Zhang Xubai's Taoist arts, [Spiritual Enlightenment] is better at stimulating the nature of monsters. Under Chen Sheng's deliberate manipulation, the violent and wild side of the Five Black Dogs was activated to the maximum extent, turning it into a vicious and cruel monster.

The transformation was successful, and the excess spiritual energy around him dissipated into the wind.

Two dog demons, one black and one red, stared at each other, facing off at a distance of about ten feet, under the influence of their respective masters' wills.

No one called "start." Years of experience fighting their own kind at the gambling table led them to glance at each other and then pounce on one another without prior agreement.

Whoosh!
The distance of one zhang was so close that the two figures, one in black and one in red, passed each other in an instant.

Just as they were about to collide, Black Whirlwind leaped up and plunged its claws into the wooden beam above its head.

At the same time, its long and sharp claws also scratched the Red Captain's back, leaving several deep wounds.

With a single, decisive strike, Black Whirlwind immediately turned and pounced downwards, leaping onto the broad back of Red Captain and plunging its claws deep into his body.

Ahhh——

With a piercing scream, Captain Red rolled on the ground in agony, pinning Black Whirlwind beneath him and snapping several of his ribs with a crack.

With a sharp wail, Black Whirlwind fled to a distance and confronted Red Captain again.

These two dog demons, one transformed by Taoist magic into a heavy and powerful being, and the other transformed by demonic magic into an agile and nimble being, neither gained the upper hand in their first exchange.

"Brother Dao's Daoist skills are quite impressive. A Thunder Tribulation Realm expert who can exchange a few blows with me in the Beast Fighting Arena is a rare find in the world."

But don't get too cocky, I'm only just about to unleash my full power.

In the food stall, Zhang Xubai suddenly snorted coldly and spat out a small breath of energy, which landed on the red-clad captain.

The monster shuddered, its pupils blazing with fire, and its wounds healed in the blink of an eye.

Instead of verbally condemning the other party's blatant cheating, Chen Sheng chose to take action to seek justice for himself.

A stone [Demon King's Crown] appeared above his head, and to Zhang Xubai's astonishment, he pointed at the Black Whirlwind.

"The power I unleashed before wasn't enough, so let me add some more to your bid."

As a result, spiritual energy gathered once more, healing the fractures in Black Whirlwind's body and causing tiny black winds to waft through his short fur.

Boom!
Black Whirlwind's upgrade had just finished when Red Captain stomped heavily on the ground with all four hooves and charged towards it.

The two dogs collided, and Red Captain's fangs bit into Black Whirlwind's left chest, tearing off a large chunk of dog meat covered in black fur.

Black Whirlwind then lowered his head and spat out a wind blade, slicing it across his opponent's neck.

Under the wind blades, fur and muscle were completely severed, until a gap was punched into Sen Sen's neck bone before it dissipated into a whirlwind.

A stream of scalding blood gushed from the Red Captain's wound. The moment it touched the air, the blood turned into flames and burned, causing the nearby Black Whirlwind to scream in agony.

But it ignored the burns, picked up its opponent's head, and began cutting its neck.

Claws and wind blades slashed vicious wounds across the dog's neck, and the thick, magma-like blood turned into flames, engulfing the entire casino in a sea of ​​fire.

A fierce fire raged, igniting the thatched hut of the gambling den and sending up a towering pillar of flame that engulfed the two dogs.

If it were an ordinary first-tier monster, the outcome of this battle might be decided at this point.

However, as fighting dogs of the fourth-tier cultivators, their battles are not so easy to determine a winner or loser.

In the sea of ​​fire, Zhang Xubai bestowed upon the Red Captain a mane as fierce as a lion demon, allowing his dog to escape its predicament.

Chen Sheng also taught Black Whirlwind a set of exquisite claw techniques and light-body skills to use in moving around and fighting with his opponents.

Later, the Red Captain was given even stronger bones, a scorching gaze for long-range attacks, and the ability to heal from injuries by being reborn in flames... The Black Whirlwind grew four arms, began to know how to control black demonic winds, and its fur became immune to a certain degree of high temperature...

The ever-growing power caused the two dogs to fight more and more fiercely, gradually revealing a power that transcended the limits of their respective ranks.

But whether it was Chen Sheng or Zhang Xubai, they only added a little strength to their dogs each time.

It's not that they don't want to give more, it's just that the upper limit of a first-tier monster is only so high. Unless they can help the monster advance to the second tier, every time they increase their power, it's an adventure.

Don't be fooled by how fiercely the two dogs are fighting now; they might not be able to withstand the sudden surge of power within them at any moment and die instantly.

Rumble!
A black wind howled, obscuring the sky;

Flames surged, and the firelight dispelled the darkness once more;
The raging wind and fire destroyed all the buildings except for the food stall where Chen Sheng and Zhang Xubai were located.

The Red Captain, who had transformed into a Flame Bone Fire Lion, was locked in a fierce battle with the Black Whirlwind, who had transformed into a three-headed, eight-armed dog demon, fighting their way from the shore into the pool.

Flames steamed up scorching water vapor, and a strong wind blew up a misty fog. Watching the battle in the water, Zhang Xubai's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Just now, he had developed the Red Captain's power to the first-level limit, reaching the critical point where adding even a little more would definitely cause him to explode and die.

But Chen Sheng, who had been adding more and more to Black Whirlwind's abilities, later added several more to him.

This caused the tide of the battle to gradually turn in their favor.

Finally, after pondering for a long time, Zhang Xubai realized he couldn't find a way to turn the tide, so he could only sigh and look at Chen Shengdao.

“Brother Dao, I have been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.”

Previously, I always thought that among all the Taoist arts in the world, the [Primordial Creation Technique] that I cultivated was the most adept at creating monsters.

I never imagined there would be people more capable than me, and that there were realms beyond our understanding; I've actually encountered a remarkable person like you, fellow Daoist.

Upon hearing the other party's attitude, Chen Sheng knew that he had won the opportunity to share the Qi of Gang Sha, and responded with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist is too modest. I won this bet by sheer luck."

Chen Sheng was telling the truth.

In fact, the two of them were about the same level of enhancement to monsters.

However, the way Zhang Xubai created monsters through his Taoist arts was by preparing many common monster templates in advance. When he encountered a corresponding animal, he could directly apply the templates to gain the corresponding power.

This kind of Taoist technique is somewhat rigid and may have varying degrees of compatibility with different individuals.

However, template-based targeted training also allows the temperament and abilities of monsters to be entirely within the caster's design, making it suitable for mass-producing monsters.

Chen Sheng's [Spiritual Enlightenment] will stimulate the power in the bloodline of monsters. Although there is no compatibility issue, it can make the monsters he cultivates stronger.

However, its overly individualistic nature also means that it can only follow the route of elitist monster breeding.

The only difference between the two is that they were trained in different ways.

Zhang Xubai simply shook his head after hearing Chen Sheng's words.

He then handed over a plain-colored invitation and said seriously.

"I can sense the pure aura of Taoist thunder magic within you, confirming that you are a member of the Taoist sect."

Having a Taoist identity and being able to pass my test, one is naturally qualified to participate in the allocation of the Qi and Sha.

However, there is one thing I wanted to make clear to you, my fellow Daoist: the distribution of the Liangshan Gang Sha (a type of magical energy) is not located on Liangshan itself, but rather in the city of Dongjing (Kaifeng)...
