Lin You stood at one end of the arena, looking at Zhong Wu who appeared at the other end, eyes wide in surprise.

From the opponent, he could sense a very dangerous aura.

Just standing there seemed to make him blend into the surroundings, as if he might disappear at any moment.

This person is very strong.

Lin You reached this conclusion with merely a glance.

Yet the opponent did not make a move, nor did he have the intention to act. Instead, he silently observed the opponent.

"You’re strong," Zhong Wu said first. "In the upcoming battle, I hope you give it your all."

"That depends on whether you have what it takes," Lin You said, squinting his eyes.

From the opponent, he sensed an astonishing battle intent.

The means of advancement for the Life Realm natives and their Lords are different; they enhance their bodies and increase levels by killing demons and absorbing demon crystals.

Meanwhile, the awakening of superpowers improves through constant combat training, awakening to higher levels by tapping potential in life-and-death situations.

In other words,

Their advancement has bottleneck restrictions, not just upgrading when conditions are met.

Therefore, the strength displayed is generally slightly stronger than other Lords of the same level.

It seems like this guy intends to use him as a stepping stone to break through his bottleneck.

In that case, he definitely can’t let the opponent have his way.

"No more talking, let’s fight. Once I make a move, you probably won’t have a chance," Zhong Wu slowly drew a translucent dagger from his waist, seemingly stating a fact.

That arrogant tone made Lin You frown.

However, he soon laughed, and laughed heartily.

"Since you want to experience the taste of failure, I’ll let you have it."

As he spoke, his arm slowly lifted, and the space in front began to warp.

"What does he want to do?"

The crowd on the stands looked puzzled, totally unaware of the meaning behind Lin You’s action, each looking at the other in confusion.

But in the next moment.

The space twisted, and suddenly a colossal object fell from above the arena, making it quake violently.

Simultaneously, all hearts on the stands also shook, eyes widening in disbelief.

What is that?

Species?

How could there be such a large species on this earth!?

At this moment, everyone was astounded, staring in shock at the Cyan Rattan that appeared on the platform, with its enormous vines nearly covering the entire area.

Such a gigantic being.

Could it really be summoned by humans?

"So this is his full power, huh?"

"When fighting with the Mountain Guardian King, he was actually still hiding his strength!"

"Even the Mountain Guardian King couldn’t force him to go all out!?"

The crowd on the stands was horrified, utterly shocked by the power Lin You displayed.

Especially the just-defeated Mountain Guardian King, whose face turned ashen.

He didn’t even qualify to make the opponent use his full strength.

To him, it was an utter humiliation!

And inside, he was stunned to the extreme.

Because Lin You’s current strength far exceeded his imagination, surpassing his fixed perception of a Tier Ten Lord, even instilling fear within him.

Thankfully, this was just an arena match.

If he met this person on the battlefield, the consequences would be unthinkable.

And as the crowd discussed, Zhong Wu on the stage finally snapped back from shock, looking gravely at the massive entity before him.

Observing from such a close range, the massive size of the Cyan Rattan was even more terrifying.

A chilling pressure came at him, making him feel as if he were outside a bizarre jungle.

"Didn’t you want me to go all out? Defeat her, then you’ll have the qualification to make me use my full strength."

Lin You stood atop a giant vine, looking down upon Zhong Wu the edge of the arena.

Zhong Wu was first stunned, then his pupils shrank.

Defeat this beast, then he’d use full strength.

In other words,

This still isn’t his full power!?

At this moment, Zhong Wu was utterly horrified.

He finally understood what sort of monster he was facing.

However,

His confidence in his strength kept him from backing down. Instead, he tightened his grip on the dagger, his gaze fixed on Lin You.

"In that case, I’ll force you to go all out."

With a low shout, he vanished from sight, leaving a ripple where he once stood.

"It appeared! Zhong Wu’s space superpower!"

An exclamation rose from the audience, with someone immediately recognizing Zhong Wu’s tactic.

Upon hearing this, Lin You’s gaze hardened.

Space superpower?

Could it be a similar ability to the Lords’ space travel?

As he wondered,

The space behind him suddenly warped. Zhong Wu, who should have been at the arena’s edge, appeared directly behind him. A cold gleam flashed, the dagger slicing across his neck like an illusion disappearing into the air.

So fast!

Lin You was taken aback within.

This speed across space was faster than a Lord’s space travel, the attack landing in the blink of an eye.

"Clang!"

A reverberating collision sound echoed.

Zhong Wu’s offensive was blocked by a Spiked Dagger.

The cold silhouette of Shadowless, who had somehow appeared behind Lin You, blocked the attack for him.

Both sides quickly disengaged, landing on the ground from the giant vine.

Feeling the tremor from the dagger, Zhong Wu was shocked and couldn’t help but look at Shadowless beside Lin You.

Another new Spirit Pet!

He hadn’t noticed the presence of this Species at all.

How is this possible!

As an assassination-type Superpower User, his Perception ability was absolutely top-notch.

If he couldn’t even detect the opponent’s presence, there was only one possibility: the opponent’s power was not weaker than his!

Just one Spirit Pet possessed power not weaker than his?

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Zhong Wu would never have believed it.

But now the fact was right there, forcing him to accept it and gradually put away his last bit of pride.

What followed was an earth-shattering fighting spirit.

In a flash, he charged out once more, engaged in an intense battle with Shadowless among the Vine Forest.

Meanwhile, a thick, bloody mist started to form, enveloping the entire arena in an instant, where only moving vines could be vaguely seen, along with silhouettes clashing back and forth inside.

"What’s going on? Why is there mist on the field?"

"No, it’s not mist; it’s the Poison Mist released by that monster!"

"Poison Mist? Does that mean they have to fight inside the Poison Mist?"

"Damn it, our view is completely blocked; we can’t see anything!"

"What’s happening inside now? Can anyone see clearly?"

People on the stage were anxious and scratching their heads, but no matter how worried they were, the bloody Poison Mist on the field blocked most of their view.

Only those with enhanced vision abilities could vaguely see something.

Inside the Vine Forest, Zhong Wu became more shocked as the fight went on.

Because he found out that this Cactus Spirit Pet on the other side was incredibly fast. After exchanging over a hundred rounds, he still hadn’t found a chance to attack Lin You, being intercepted every time.

Plus, the surrounding Poison Mist made him feel his vitality rapidly depleting, forcing him to use his Space Superpower to isolate the Poison Mist, which made things slightly better.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted underfoot.

Giant vine roots shot up from the ground, sealing off all his escape routes.

Zhong Wu’s face darkened, and in a moment, he turned into Void, a cold gleam flashed, and he cut all the vines apart.

But in the next second, a Spiked Dagger appeared behind him, like piercing through the void, thrusting out.

"Tear!"

The sound of fabric tearing was heard.

With his strong intuition, Zhong Wu easily avoided Shadowless’s lethal attack, the dagger slashing past his waist.

"Is this all you’ve got? You can’t win against me with just this!"

Zhong Wu shouted, turning around to strike back at Shadowless, forcing him back, then gently leaped into the Poison Mist again, gradually disappearing.

"You’re the first to force me to use this move within Tier Ten!"

The echoing words reverberated throughout the Vine Forest.

Lin You looked around in surprise, unable to sense the opponent’s presence even with his strong Perception.

It was as if he had completely disappeared.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard.

A cut was carved open on Cyan Gang beside Lin You without any warning.

Immediately after, a sense of danger struck; Lin You quickly retreated explosively with a sound underfoot.

With a tear, his collar was instantly ripped open, yet there was no trace of any attack, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Such a bizarre attack!

Lin You was in shock, feeling as if countless invisible blades were slashing through the air, unseen and undetectable, unbelievably strange to the extreme.

Is this the strength of one of the three giants of Origin City?

It’s indeed much stronger than the opponents he had encountered before.

For an ordinary Tier Ten encountering such tactics, don’t even talk about resisting; escaping would be impossible.

In just a few breaths, Cyan Rattan’s vines and several Royal Family members bore wounds, forcing them to activate Defense Skills, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Hidden in the void, Zhong Wu sneered.

This Ability of his had almost fully developed the Space Superpower to the limit; it wasn’t something just anyone could withstand.

Seeing Lin You at a loss, he again merged into the void, attacking through space.

Yet, at this moment.

Several oddly-shaped Mushrooms suddenly appeared in front of his path, growing out of thin air on the arena.

With no time to evade, his ankle lightly touched one of the fiery red Mushrooms.

"Boom!!"

With a loud explosion, a mushroom cloud composed of bloody Poison Mist rose within the Vine Forest.

Terror struck the surrounding airwaves, instantly blowing away the Poison Mist in the Vine Forest, finally allowing people on the stage to see the scene inside clearly.

On the vine-covered, crisscrossed arena,

A vast array of oddly-shaped Mushrooms had grown, almost covering the entire arena inside and out.

And at the center of that mushroom cloud was Zhong Wu, just blown out from the void, with a face of astonishment and terror.

Because beside Lin You, a harmless giant Mushroom had appeared out of nowhere, grinning cheerfully at him.

And below him were all kinds of Mushrooms covering almost the entire platform.

"You’re the first to force me to use this move within the Tier Ten."

The same words were casually spoken by Lin You.

Then the rules condensed, the Void Space activated, entirely sealing off all spatial manipulation skills.

"Boom boom boom——"

Violent explosions kept echoing in the center of the arena, finally swallowing Zhong Wu completely.
