Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Qin Chong did not answer.

He simply raised his head and looked at the enormous dragon beast.

His eyes were calm, without any fear.

On the high platform.

Xia Yulong turned his head and looked at Wang Dongyi:

"Brother Dongyi, after seeing this dragon beast, do you still think your favorite will win?"

Wang Dongyi chuckled, his gaze still fixed on Qin Chong:

"certainly."

Xia Yulong was stunned for a moment.

Wang Dongyi added, "You should know that this Qin Chong is my nephew's brother."

Xia Yulong frowned slightly.

What does that mean?

Does the nephew's brother guarantee a win?

He glanced at Wang Dongyi, said nothing more, and looked back at the dueling platform.

Seeing that Qin Chong didn't speak, Long Qingyu thought he had been scared out of his wits.

He sneered and gave the order to the dragon beast:

"Take him under your feet!"

The dragon beast let out another deafening roar!

It strides forward with its strong limbs, like a moving mountain, crushing towards Qin Chong!

With each step, the arena trembled!

That aura was enough to make any martial artist in the early stage of the Condensation Realm tremble with fear!

however--

Qin Chong remained standing there.

Not moving at all.

His lips moved slightly, and he murmured something:

"How dare you bully the little fairy..."

"I can never forgive you!"

The moment the words fell—

His eyes changed!

An invisible aura suddenly erupted from his body!

That aura was domineering and unparalleled, carrying a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, as if an ancient emperor had descended to earth!

Domineering aura!

The first ability of the SS-level talent, the Overlord Divine Body, has been officially activated!

In that instant, the entire arena was enveloped by that domineering aura!

Long Qingyu's expression changed!

Although he was at the third level of the Condensation Realm, two levels higher than Qin Chong, he felt that the flow of spiritual energy in his body had become extremely sluggish!

It was as if an invisible hand was suppressing his power!

This is the terrifying aspect of an overlord's aura!

Those whose realm is higher than one's own will also be affected by the "Imperial Pressure," resulting in a weakening of their combat power!

The dragon beasts, however, reacted even more strongly!

As a beast, it is ten times more sensitive to this kind of pressure that originates from the depths of its bloodline than humans!

It suddenly stopped and let out a low roar!

But that roar didn't sound like intimidation; it sounded more like...

They got all worked up.

A hint of unease flashed in its vertical pupils, and it even subconsciously took a step back!

The audience erupted in uproar!

"What's going on?! Why is the dragon beast retreating?!"

"What did Qin Chong do?!"

"The aura emanating from him...it's terrifying!"

Long Qingyu's face was extremely ugly!

He sensed the dragon beast's fear; it was a feeling brought about by the contract!

Gritting his teeth, he shouted:

"Charge! Charge!"

The power of the contract is activated!

Although the dragon beast was uneasy, it could not disobey its master's command!

It roared again, suppressing its inner fear, and pounced on Qin Chong!

Qin Chong took a deep breath, and his internal energy cultivation technique circulated wildly!

The Overlord Thunder Emperor Scripture!

In an instant, a golden light shield appeared on his body, with lightning flowing and arcs of electricity leaping on it!

Overlord Thunder Armor!

The hallmark ability of the third level!

The dragon beast pounced forward and slammed down with its claw!

The sharp claws, accompanied by a whistling sound as they tore through the air, slammed down hard on Qin Chong's body!

"Bang--!"

A loud bang!

The ground beneath Qin Chong's feet shattered!

But he himself remained completely still!

He raised his hand and grabbed the dragon's claw!

The dragon was stunned and tried to pull back, but found that it couldn't pull it back at all!

Qin Chong exerted his strength and actually swung the four-meter-tall dragon beast up!

"boom!"

He slammed the dragon beast to the ground!

The arena trembled violently!

The dragon beast let out a miserable scream!

But it was a dragon beast after all, with thick skin and flesh, and this attack did not render it unable to fight.

It flipped over and pounced on Qin Chong again!

The man and the beast instantly engaged in a fierce battle!

Their battle was devoid of any fancy moves; it was simply a clash of pure, unadulterated power!

Qin Chong punched the dragon beast, shattering its scales!

The dragon beast slammed its claw at Qin Chong, but his Overlord Thunder Robe shone brightly and remained completely unharmed!

Qin Chong kicked the dragon beast in the stomach, sending its massive body flying backward!

The dragon beast's tail swept across, and Qin Chong took the blow head-on, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack once more!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Every collision was like a thunderclap!

Every clash sent tremors through the arena!

The audience was stunned!

"Holy shit... Holy shit... Holy shit!!"

"Is this even human?!"

"He's actually fighting a dragon beast hand-to-hand! And he's holding his own!"

"This is some kind of ancient beast disguised as a human!"

"That's terrifying! That's shocking!"

Not only ordinary viewers, but even the top contenders for the championship were all turning their heads to look.

Taoist Zhang Xuling nudged the monk Wuxiang beside him and asked in a low voice:

"Monk, if you were to engage in close combat with that dragon beast, who would win?"

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands together, smiled slightly, and said humbly:

"Let's split it 30/70."

Zhang Xuling raised an eyebrow:

"A 30/70 split? You're offering 30% dragon beast and 70% dragon beast? That's not bad, considering it's a dragon beast after all..."

Wu Xiang shook his head:

"No, I punched it three times, and it blew into seven pieces."

Zhang Xuling's lips twitched:

"You monk, why are you always bragging? How did you even get into Buddhism? Did Buddha approve of that?"

Wuxiang still smiled:

"I asked Buddha when I entered. He gave me an OK sign."

Zhang Xuling: "..."

the other side.

Ye Chuan was so excited that he jumped up from his seat.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!"

He swore three times in a row, his eyes wide open like saucers:

"Brother Qin! Brother Qin is actually this powerful?!"

"I initially thought he was just a clumsy, big guy, but I never imagined that his thick eyebrows and big eyes concealed such terrifying strength!"

"That's awesome! That's awesome!"

Xuanyuan Qizheng remained silent.

But his gaze remained fixed on Qin Chong on the dueling platform, his eyes solemn like never before.

Wang Xian sat there, a slight smile playing on her lips.

He murmured softly:

"This is nothing..."

"Daichongzi's true strength has not yet been revealed."

On the dueling platform.

Long Qingyu's face was as ugly as it could possibly be.

He watched as his dragon beast fought Qin Chong to a standstill, and was even slightly suppressed, and his heart burned with rage!

Who is he?

He is the son of the head of the Long family!

He possesses S-rank talent!

He is a contractor of a pureblood dragon beast!

And what about the other side?

He was just a servant who worked as a bodyguard!

How could someone like that possibly fight his dragon beast to a draw?!

Isn't this making him lose face?!

Long Qingyu shouted and quickly formed hand seals!

That's the Dragon family's beast-taming technique!

It can temporarily unleash the potential of dragon beasts, causing their strength to surge!

Streaks of runic light flew from his hand and entered the dragon beast's body!

The dragon's body shuddered violently!

Its eyes instantly turned blood red!

Its aura began to rise wildly!

"roar--!!!"

A roar that was deafening!

The dragon has entered a berserk state!
