Under One Person: Rebuilding the Glory of the Beast Master

Chapter 57 Experience Boss

The moment the sandstorm cleared, everyone saw what was happening in the field.

A deep pit appeared on the ground.

Zhang Zhiwei remained standing in the same spot, his hands tightly gripping the white and black fangs, golden light seemingly materializing as it wrapped around his arms.

As Bai Jiahei stomped his feet, his muscles bulged, and steel-like Qi flowed wildly across his body. The immense power that surged forth caused the rocks beneath his feet to crack.

Then one step, two steps. Although Bai Jiahei could only take a very small step each time, it also showed that Zhang Zhiwei lost in the contest of strength.

"This pig is incredibly strong."

Zhang Zhiwei's face was no longer as relaxed as it had been at the beginning, and cracks began to appear on the golden light on his arm.

His pupils contracted slightly.

It wasn't fear, it was excitement.

The only thing that could make him feel pressured in terms of pure power was his master tiger at the foot of the mountain, whose leg he had broken. This was the first time he had ever felt pressured, and he was the one being suppressed.

He had honed his life cultivation to an extremely high level; in terms of life cultivation alone, he could even rival his own master.

"Good!" Zhang Zhiwei shouted, and the golden light on his arms suddenly surged, with the veins on his strong arms bulging, as if he had poured all his energy into his hands.

"Hmph~~"

Bai Jiahei also sensed the increase in the opponent's power and let out a deafening roar. It was unwilling to show weakness in terms of strength.

Its four hooves dug deep grooves in the cracked rock, its hind leg muscles bulged to their limit, and steel-like energy surged wildly from its body.

"Hmph—!"

The clash of forces between the two resumed, but White and Black still prevailed.

It's not that Zhang Zhiwei is incompetent, but rather that Bai Jiahei possesses the racial talent inherent in being a mythical beast.

Then, Bai Jiahei suddenly tilted his head back, and Zhang Zhiwei was lifted off the ground by that overwhelming force.

"Hey!" Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, then released his hands, and instantly a tremendous force carried him into the sky.

A person who falls into the air is like a rootless duckweed, with nowhere to take hold, so naturally they cannot launch an effective counterattack or defense. Zhang Zhiwei is now wide open.

Bai Jiahei naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, arching his back and launching the Iron Mane Kill again.

Several strands of hair, carrying silvery-white steel, shot towards Zhang Zhiwei in mid-air.

Seeing the rapidly approaching mane, Zhang Zhiwei's body erupted with golden light once again, and then this golden light actually condensed into small golden spheres in the air.

"Behold my move—Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" Zhang Zhiwei roared with laughter. This was a technique he had heard about from a storyteller at the foot of Longhu Mountain. He had been thinking about it for so long, and this was the first time he had used it.

As for why it was a golden sphere instead of a golden sword, Zhang Zhiwei offered no explanation, because he had the final say on the golden light.

Then he waved his hand, and the golden ball shot towards the ground at lightning speed like a meteor.

Bai Jiahei's Iron Mane Kill was also blocked by these golden meteors, and one by one they were knocked to the ground. The golden meteors, however, continued their powerful attack towards Bai Jiahei's main body.

However, Bai Jiahei did not dodge. He stood firmly on all fours, his body surging with power. Steel-attribute energy frantically condensed on his body, making his metal armor appear even more solid.

Although they couldn't reach the same level as Zhang Zhiwei, Bai Jiahei's defensive capabilities were already at their peak.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Each golden orb that struck Bai Jiahei produced a dull thud, but none of them could cause any real damage to him.

"It really is solid."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei knew that if he didn't use his true skills, he really wouldn't be able to break through this pig's defenses.

Then he stomped his feet into the air, and a golden disc condensed in the air. Then he actually stood in the air. This was not a special magic technique, but an extremely strong control.

He then reached out and beckoned, and the golden light once again converged in his hand.

Before long, a golden hammer appeared in his hand.

The hammerhead was as big as a washbasin, and the handle was as thick as a child's arm. With its flowing golden light, it seemed to be a real object cast from pure gold. Every line on the hammerhead was clearly visible, with no trace of illusion.

This is not a simple outward release of Qi, but rather the manifestation of golden light, which is several levels more sophisticated than the form-transforming knife technique used by Zeng Su.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Longhu Mountain area who can use the Golden Light Mantra to such a degree.

"This move was originally intended for my master." Zhang Zhiwei looked at Bai Jiahei with a smirk. "Today, I'll let you try it out first."

The words had barely left his mouth when the golden hammer arrived.

This is a hammer strike that comes from the sky.

Baijiahei didn't even have a chance to dodge; it only felt a tremendous force descend from the sky and slam into its back.

"Thump—!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal shook the entire training ground three times.

The massive white and black body suddenly sank down, its four hooves sinking deep into the rocky ground up to its knees. The armor covering its body cracked like shattered glass, spreading outwards from the point of impact.

"Hmph!"

Bai Jiahei let out a painful roar.

But it did not collapse. Gritting its teeth, its muscles were tense to the limit, and steel-like Qi surged out of its body to repair the shattered membrane.

It refuses to give up.

Zhang Zhiwei frowned slightly.

He used 70% of his strength in that hammer blow. This doesn't refer to brute force, but rather a portion of his overall ability. If he had used 80% of his strength, that would have been a desperate effort.

In his opinion, 70% of his strength would have been enough to knock the pig down, but Bai Jiahei actually withstood it.

"Taking down this pig won't be possible in the short term. But dealing with the Beast Master—"

Zhang Zhiwei's gaze swept past Bai Jiahei, covering every corner of the training ground.

"The simplest way is to take down the beastmaster himself."

However, after he had knocked Zeng Su away, he was unable to pinpoint Zeng Su's exact location.

It wasn't just the dust obscuring his vision; it was also because Bai Jiahei and Zeng Su's aura had completely merged together, interfering with Zhang Zhiwei's perception and making it impossible for him to pinpoint Zeng Su's location using his aura alone.

"Interesting." Zhang Zhiwei's lips curled up slightly as his gaze swept quickly around the training ground, not missing any suspicious places. He even explored the underground area.

In the stands, the crowd began to stir.

"Where is Zeng Su?"

"They were just on the field a moment ago, how come they're gone in the blink of an eye?"

"Could they have run away?"

"Bullshit! Have you ever seen anyone run away and leave their beast behind?"

A cacophony of voices rang out.

Guan Shihua stood up from her chair in a hurry and peered into the training ground on tiptoe.

"Where's my brother?!"

Liao Huzi sat in his chair, his eyes scanning every corner of the field, then from the ground to the sky.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped.

"Stone Flower," he called out.

"Master?"

"Look at the sky."

Guan Shihua looked up and followed Liao Huzi's gaze.

More and more people in the audience noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.

The midday sun was blinding, but a dark shadow could be seen slowly circling among the blue sky and white clouds, going round and round.

Those with good eyesight recognized it as an eagle.

A bald eagle with a wingspan of nearly seven feet had feathers that shimmered like silk in the sunlight, and the feathers on its chest and abdomen had a faint golden hue.

Moreover, the eagle was holding a person in its talons.

There's no need to guess, this person must be Zeng Su.

Zeng Su was sitting cross-legged under Fei Peng's claws, his posture as leisurely as if he were sunbathing in his own yard.

His white clothes fluttered in the wind high in the sky, but his figure remained as steady as a rock, without swaying in the slightest.

Fei Peng hovered slowly above the training ground at an altitude of over 500 meters. At this height, any attack from the ground would have little chance of hitting him, and even if it did, it wouldn't have much power.

Moreover, he is still within the training ground area, so he has not broken the rules.

"That's—Zeng Su?"

"When did he go up there?"

"Was that eagle also his tamed beast?"

"My God, just how many things does this child keep?"

Zhang Zhiwei also looked up.

He squinted at the small figure in the sky, his smile froze for a moment, but then he broke into an even brighter smile.

"Okay," he said.

This time, the "good" is different from before. The previous "good" was directed at Bai Jiahei, expressing fighting spirit and appreciation. This time, the "good" is directed at Zeng Su, expressing admiration and surprise.

"I really didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."

If Zeng Su had maintained that altitude, he really wouldn't have been able to hurt his opponent. Even with his current abilities, although he could briefly run in the air, he couldn't achieve true flight.

Unless other methods are used, but after thinking about it, he figured it wouldn't be very effective.

Zeng Su looked down at the scene on the ground, his smile even brighter than Zhang Zhiwei's; he was truly happy!

Just now, the evolution of the white and black combination has finally taken another step forward.

Five life-or-death battles have been fought in total: 3/5.

In just such a short time fighting Zhang Zhiwei, Bai Jiahei has already broken through three levels.

Reality isn't like a video game where a single battle counts as one fight. In reality, as long as you gain something from each battle, you can evolve and grow.

Fighting a powerful figure like Zhang Zhiwei is the opportunity for Bai Jiahei to evolve.

Furthermore, there are two advantages: Zhang Zhiwei will absolutely not use lethal force against Bai Jiahei. Meanwhile, the two Bai Jiahei can unleash their full power without fear of harming Zhang Zhiwei.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwei is simply the best boss for grinding experience. This is also the main reason why he challenged Zhang Zhiwei.

However, Bai Jiahei is now somewhat weakened, and continuing to fight in this state may damage its core. Therefore, it's time to switch to a different kind of battle.

"Fei Peng, descend," he said.

Upon receiving the command, Fei Peng immediately flapped its wings and charged towards the ground, stopping when it was about ten feet above the ground.

"Master Zhang, how is my tamed beast?" he called out to Zhang Zhiwei on the ground.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing," Zhang Zhiwei praised without reservation.

"But when did you fly up into the sky?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Hehe, naturally it's when you're not paying attention," Zeng Su said.

The previous cloud of smoke served as the best cover. He mixed his aura with that of Bai Jiahei, and in an instant, Shi Feipeng carried him into the sky.

Among those present, only experts like Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Jingqing probably noticed it.

"No matter how you got up there, do you want to keep fighting or give up? Just flying around like that isn't going to work!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Bai Jiahei ran to its master's seat and panted heavily. Although it wasn't injured, it had exhausted itself. "Master Zhang, a Beastmaster's beasts aren't just for running on the ground. They can fly in the sky, swim in the water, or burrow in the soil. As long as I raise them, they can go anywhere."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded in agreement.

"However," Zeng Su changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious, "Although I am a beast master, I won't stay up there forever."

Zhang Zhiwei looked up at him and said, "So you still want to come down and fight me?"

"I want to give it a try," Zeng Su said. "I'll see how many moves I can last."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the child in the sky, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Okay, get down."

Zeng Su patted Fei Peng's paw.

Feipeng flapped its wings, drawing an arc in the air, and then released its claws at its master's request.

Zeng Su leaped down from a height of three zhang, his white clothes fluttering in the wind like a white crane spreading its wings.

The moment he landed, his toes touched the ground, his body slightly crouched to absorb the impact, and then he stood firmly.

Bai Jiahei walked over from the side, his massive body blocking his way. The steel attribute in his body had been re-condensed, although it was much weaker than before, it was still indestructible.

Zeng Su reached out and patted Bai Jiahei's neck.

"You've worked hard," he said.

Bai Jiahei snorted and nudged his hand with its nose.

Zeng Su took a deep breath and looked up at Zhang Zhiwei opposite him.

"Master Zhang, please."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at him and suddenly said solemnly, "You are the strongest among my peers that I have ever met."

This is an acknowledgment of Zeng Su's abilities.

"I dare not accept this title." Zeng Su waved his hand, knowing that those who stick their necks out get shot and that it's unacceptable to accept titles indiscriminately.

Then, he loosely clenched his right hand, and the black blade materialized in his palm. A steel-like substance covered the blade, giving it a cold, sharp gleam.

Then, a triple rebirth occurred. A jade-like luster began to emerge from his right hand, spreading upwards along his arm and eventually enveloping his right arm and chest.

The steel-like properties of the white and black steel were fed back into his body, making him as hard as steel.

The five elements, shrouded in darkness, intertwined within his body, allowing him to switch between the five attributes at will.

Although Fei Peng's Qi was weak, it continuously flowed into his meridians, making his movements lighter and more agile.

At this moment, Zeng Su is in his complete form, possessing the combined power of three beasts.

His Qi was far more abundant than it should be at his age, his physique was far stronger than it should be at his age, and his skills were far more diverse than it should be at his age.

But standing opposite him was Zhang Zhiwei, the most powerful monster in the world.

Even though he has already achieved this much, he still cannot shake Zhang Zhiwei's position.

He was very clear about this.

Looking at the layers of interwoven, multicolored light on Zeng Su's body, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly remembered a sentence his master had said: "On the path of cultivation, in the end, it is not about who has more methods or whose methods are purer."

But now he wants to say that his master was wrong.

Because now such a person is standing right in front of me, his aura is chaotic and disordered, but each power supports the other without any clash.

All things return to one?

Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

"Master Zhang, could you let me witness the power of the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain?" Zeng Su suddenly asked.

Zhang Zhiwei only thought about the request for a moment.

"good!"

This lightning technique is useless against other people, but it's a different story against Zeng Su.

worth!

A white bolt of lightning began to dance around Zhang Zhiwei, and the air seemed to become somewhat turbulent because of its appearance.

Zeng Su was standing closest, so he felt it most deeply; his body was involuntarily sending out warnings.

The next moment, he flashed away.

brush!

A white light descended from the sky and landed directly on the ground where he had just been standing.

Boom!

The lightning struck, leaving a charred patch on the ground.

First you see the light, then you hear the sound. That is lightning.

"Tsk, you reacted quickly! But be careful from now on."

After speaking, Zhang Zhiwei pressed down with one hand, and bolts of lightning flashed around him.

Even Bai Jiahei dared not directly withstand these electric sparks. He moved quickly around the arena with all four legs flying, but even so, he was hit directly by a bolt of lightning, and instantly a charred patch appeared on his hard, steel-like skin.

"Hmph!"

Bai Jiahei let out a cry of pain and even jumped on the spot from the electric shock.

Zeng Su was faster than Bai Jiahei, but Zhang Zhiwei's lightning techniques were becoming more numerous and widespread.

Under these circumstances, let alone fighting, just dodging had already exhausted his energy.

"Zhang Zhiwei, you really are a monster."

Even though he already had many ideas about Zhang Zhiwei, the abilities Zhang Zhiwei displayed continued to shatter his understanding.

"You can't keep dragging this on like this! Let me help you."

Zhang Zhiwei's voice came again, and he raised his hands to the sky.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed above the entire training ground, and a bolt of lightning the size of a fist struck down towards Zeng Su.

"not good!"

Zuo Ruotong had been observing the situation on the field. In an instant, he realized that Zeng Su would definitely not be able to dodge this lightning spell. Moreover, the power contained in the lightning spell was too strong, and Zeng Su was likely to suffer serious injuries.

Forget about saving face; as the master, he had to intervene. Otherwise, his apprentice would suffer serious injury in a mere contest, and he would have been a master for nothing.

"Master Zuo, there's no need to panic. Zhang Zhiwei is in control," Zhang Jingqing said at this moment.

The conversation between the two proceeded very quickly.

Zhang Zhiwei maintained control over the lightning magic, and as soon as he confirmed that Zeng Su could not dodge it, he would immediately dissipate the lightning magic. Only he could do this kind of control.

However, at that moment, a dark shadow in the sky rushed straight towards the lightning bolt.
