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

Its body seemed to have grown larger, and strange blood-red patterns appeared on its scales.

Strength, speed, and defense have all been greatly improved!

It pounced on Qin Chong again, slapping down with its claw!

This claw strike was more than twice as powerful as the previous one!

Qin Chong raised his hand to block!

"Bang--!"

He was forced back three steps by that claw!

The dragon beast, having gained the upper hand, pounced on him relentlessly, clawing and biting relentlessly!

Qin Chong retreated continuously, the light of the Overlord Thunder Robe on his body flickering!

The audience gasped in surprise!

"The dragon has gone berserk!"

"Qin Chong is finished now!"

Long Qingyu sneered:

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

however--

The next moment, his smile froze.

Qin Chong stopped retreating.

He raised his head and looked at the raging dragon beast.

His gaze remained calm.

But beneath that calm, something seemed to be awakening.

He took a deep breath.

Within his body, a special power began to boil!

The third ability of the Overlord Divine Body—

The Blood of the Overlord, activated!

In that instant, Qin Chong was enveloped in golden light!

His aura surged wildly, like a volcanic eruption!

Double!

Their strength has doubled across the board!

He clenched his fist and threw a punch at the dragon beast's claws!

"boom--!"

A deafening roar!

The dragon beast's massive body was actually blasted away by this punch!

It rolled and crashed to the ground, sliding seven or eight meters away, almost falling off the fighting platform!

The dragon beast struggled to get up, but Qin Chong had already rushed in front of it!

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

Every punch carries earth-shattering power!

Every punch landed squarely on the dragon beast!

The dragon's scales shattered, and blood splattered everywhere!

It let out a series of pitiful howls, its former majesty gone!

The audience was completely silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this scene.

Watching that war god-like youth punch the four-meter-tall dragon beast again and again.

It was smashed so hard that it had no chance to fight back.

It was smashed until it howled in pain.

Smash it...

Shivering.

……

Below the stage, in the front row of the VIP section.

Sikong Xirong sat upright in her seat, her gaze fixed on the dueling platform. Her face was exquisite, her temperament aloof, and her light purple dress stood out in the crowd.

As a direct descendant of the Sikong family, she was used to all kinds of grand occasions from a young age.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen the dragon beasts of the Long family.

But at this moment, watching the pureblooded dragon beast, which was over four meters tall, being brutally beaten to the ground by an unknown boy, a complex look still flashed in her eyes.

"Long Qingyu... he's actually been suppressed like this?"

Like Long Qingyu, she came from one of the four major families in the capital.

Although they usually served different masters and engaged in many open and covert struggles, deep down, she always regarded Long Qingyu as someone on the same level.

But at this moment, watching Long Qingyu's dragon beast being beaten until its scales shattered and howling in agony, watching Long Qingyu standing aside with a livid face but helpless...

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

It turns out that even the direct descendants of these four great families are not invincible.

Beside him, Fu Zizhen leaned back in his chair, playing with a jade pendant in his hand.

His expression was much calmer than Sikong Xirong's, but deep in his eyes, there was also a hint of complexity.

"interesting."

He muttered something under his breath, it was unclear whether he was referring to Qin Chong or Long Qingyu.

He and Long Qingyu weren't exactly friends, but as members of the four major families, seeing the other being beaten so badly by a "servant" with no background inevitably stirred up some complex feelings in him.

However, he didn't say anything.

He simply continued to watch the dueling platform, his gaze becoming even more focused.

the other side.

The child prodigy Su Xingye sat in his seat, his two little legs dangling in the air and swinging back and forth.

He was only ten years old, wearing a small training uniform, with a childlike smile on his face.

At this moment, he is clapping his hands excitedly:

"Wow! This older brother is amazing!"

His eyes sparkled as he stared at Qin Chong on the stage:

"He punched and punched, making that big dragon howl in pain! That's amazing!"

Beside him, the ferocious young beast Li Cangyun stared expressionlessly at the dueling platform.

The chains binding him swayed gently with his breathing, making a soft, metallic scraping sound.

His eyes were more focused than ever before.

That was a kind of... fighting spirit.

The ferocious beast inside seemed to sense something and began to stir, wanting to break free.

Li Cangyun took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the impulse.

But his gaze never left Qin Chong.

The giant swordswoman, Luo Qingli, sat in the corner, saying nothing.

She lowered her head and gently wiped the giant sword, which was taller than her, with the cloth in her hand.

The sword gleamed, reflecting her cool and aloof face.

She didn't look at the fighting arena, but her ears were constantly listening to the sounds coming from there.

When Qin Chong punched the flying dragon beast, her fingers paused slightly.

Then she continued wiping the greatsword.

The movements were slower than before.

……

Just then, Su Xingye suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

He tilted his head, looking at the arena, his little face full of curiosity:

"That beast-taming guy... how did he end up behind big brother?"

Upon hearing this, many people around turned their heads to look at the dueling platform.

really!

Long Qingyu had somehow gotten behind Qin Chong!

His movements were extremely fast; he used the Dragon Family's top-tier movement technique, "Dragon's Step," and approached silently like a ghost.

Qin Chong, however, had his back to him and his attention was entirely focused on the dragon beast.

Long Qingyu's eyes were fierce and cold.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

His tactic against powerful enemies was to let the dragon beasts hold them off from the front while he flanked them and launched a sneak attack.

As a beast tamer, he never fights alone.

The dragon is the shield, he is the spear.

The combination of the two is the strongest state.

Now, the spear is in place.

He stared at Qin Chong's back, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth:

"Damn servant... die!"

The time is ripe!

Long Qingyu suddenly erupted!

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he shot towards Qin Chong like a black lightning bolt!

A punch was thrown!

That's the Dragon Family's Heavenly Rank Fist Technique—Dragon Fist!

His punches are like dragons, unstoppable!

The force of the punch was so strong that it seemed to tear the air apart, producing a piercing shriek!

This punch contained all his power!

This punch is enough to seriously injure any martial artist in the early stage of the Condensation Realm!

This punch would injure even a mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator if they were caught off guard!

The audience gasped in surprise!

"Be careful!"

"He's behind us!"

"It's all over!"

Some people covered their eyes, unable to watch any longer.

Some people held their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Long Qingyu was so fast that many people couldn't even see his movements.

They only saw a dark shadow flash by, followed by an overwhelming gust of wind from the fists!

Qin Chong, however, remained with his back to him.

They seemed completely unaware.

A hint of excitement flashed in Long Qingyu's eyes:

"We succeeded!"

however--

Just as his fist was about to strike Qin Chong.

Qin Chong made a move!!
