Suddenly, a trace of cold dark energy seeped from the central dantian and slowly moved toward the slowly spreading stream of heat. Wherever it passed, it brought a chill, slightly alleviating the bone-piercing pain. Since the appearance of the dark energy, Su Chen’s paralyzed nerves had once again tightened. He could remember the words of the Celestial Secret Elder and Parkinson, saying that once consumed by darkness, he would fall into an abyss of no return! In panic, Su Chen quickly gathered all his spirits, drawing out dozens of wind-attributed qi energy from the Beast’s Qi Sea, and like casting a net to collect fish, rushed rapidly towards the dark energy. But how domineering was the dark energy, that even a trace was much more formidable than the wind-attributed qi energy. With just a slight charge, the wind energy was dispersed into green smoke. Unwilling to give up, Su Chen endured the excruciating pain, once again drawing out a dozen or so streams of deep blue Profound Water energy to assault the arrogant dark energy. This time, he divided the Profound Water energy into three concentrated forces, flanking the dark energy. With just a face-off, one stream of the Profound Water energy was broken, turning into blue smoke, but the remaining two took the opportunity to entangle the dark energy, slowing its progress a bit. Next was the power of the flames. Su Chen transformed them into a wave-like form, rolling and roaring, instantly engulfing the dark energy. With much effort, the dark energy was finally eradicated, and now it was time to worry about the Beast Crystal Stone’s energy problem. The energy suddenly erupted, but unlike the auctioneer’s description, it didn’t immediately transform into the internal qi energy. The reason being, naturally, that Su Chen had various qi energies within him, making it difficult for the Beast Crystal Stone to distinguish them.

Since passivity didn’t work, he had to take the initiative. After determining that this energy should transform into wind-attributed qi energy, Su Chen divided the majority of the wind energy, continuously forming a dense web shape, searching and encompassing the energy within each meridian, then using the affinity of wind energy to allow them to briefly identify and assimilate one by one. Finally, it was about energy recovery and stabilizing the Sea of Qi. After much effort, the internal pain finally subsided, turning into a more expansive and vast sense of fulfillment. His mind could clearly see the Beast’s Qi Sea above, churning with richer blue wind-attributed qi energy, and the damaged meridians were gradually healing after the repair of the Profound Water energy. When Su Chen finally felt at ease, the miraculous feeling of breaking through to a Five-star Beast Warrior reappeared in his heart! But this time, after the feeling ended, it didn’t stop immediately. As if something was shattered in an instant, emitting a crisp sound, Su Chen’s entire body suddenly radiated an extremely rich blue light! At the same time, an awe-inspiring black Qilin, transformed into a mysterious and massive shadow, appeared behind him! Su Chen’s heart and spirit trembled, clenching his fists, his teeth chattering, forcing out a few words: "I’ve reached the Beast Sovereign..."

The annual tournament of the Golden Wind Empire finally commenced amidst eager anticipation. On this day, Muni City was unprecedentedly bustling; a large number of noblewomen and socialites who rarely ventured out also rode to the tournament venue outside the west gate. The venue was divided into two parts: an elimination field and a top ten field, both massive domed buildings covering dozens of acres. Considering weather changes, grand protective enchantments were specifically placed over the buildings, ensuring the tournament inside remained unaffected by any weather conditions. The tournament site was indeed a sea of people, with cheers resounding like tidal waves. Even though it was just the elimination round, tickets had long been sold out. The fanatical citizens and proud nobles packed every corner, choosing to stand below the arena to cheer for their favored contestants since there were no seating distinctions for the elimination round. Outside each arena, barriers were set up with guards patrolling to ensure safety. Despite these measures, quite a few daring individuals still leapt over the barriers, only to be promptly captured by the guards and sent to the White Tiger Judgment Institute for punishment. On the stage, fierce battles were already underway; young figures dashed across, engaging in intense combat to bring glory to their families and achieve fame. Occasionally, when a spectacular scene appeared, it immediately prompted waves of cheers from the audience, causing city folks who weren’t focused on the same arena to look around anxiously, fearing they’d miss a brilliant moment! In the vast crowd, although mostly city folk and nobles, some ancient forces, mysterious alliances, or hidden experts covertly watched the rising talents of this year’s Golden Wind Empire. Whether from righteous factions or demonic ones, they all remained calm and composed. Among them, the foremost top figures in the VIP seats drew the most attention. Among them sat Tianhui, Dolmont, Wusentan, Nalan Qing, Nanding Xiongqi, and others. Dolmont, the clan leader of one of the four major families, was present, while Nalan Qing and Nanding Xiongqi, though not part of the four families, each used extraordinary means to earn their places. At this moment, Dolmont, with his corpulent body, was intently staring at the rapidly moving Su Chen on arena number three, his small eyes occasionally flashing brilliantly, yearning to grab Su Chen for the Julius Clan. Tianhui looked indifferent, but his powerful Spiritual Sense had long spread across the entire venue, noting every tiny energy fluctuation. Although it was just the elimination round, there seemed to be quite a few forces present. Glancing at the focused Dolmont, a mysterious smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Imperial Brother, keep it up!" At arena number four, inside the barrier, Ginny shouted sweetly at Jin Zhenhuan on stage, under the protection of several guards. Although she had secretly enrolled for the competition, she couldn’t evade her father’s notice, and her participation was forcibly revoked. Her father, Jin Chengxuan, wouldn’t allow her to partake in competitions involving life-and-death contracts. So, with pride on the line, Ginny couldn’t be content, and she came to the scene to cheer for her brother. On stage, Jin Zhenhuan’s doppelgangers moved swiftly like lightning. After several probing rounds, a simple hand chop declared the match over. As he walked down from the stage, he naturally received admiring glances from the noble ladies seated in the front row. Yet, his demeanor remained serene from start to finish, as if no external factors could disturb his peace of mind. "Looks like Prince’s match is over." Nanding Xiongqi remarked with interest, noticing Dolmont’s suddenly turned ferocious expression, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. "Nanding Xiongqi, what do you mean?" Nanding Xiongqi chuckled, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Su Chen, still battling on stage, and said gracefully, "I’m just making casual remarks, don’t think too deeply." Dolmont gritted his teeth, suppressing his biting desire, and snorted, "Ending quickly doesn’t mean anything, just like in auctions, the longer it takes to bid on a masterpiece, the more its value can be discerned." Upon hearing this, Nanding Ge’Er in the back covered her mouth with a smile, with moon-like eyes, saying, "Lord Dolmont has a good insight indeed." Dolmont was satisfied, saying, "Indeed~" The group shared laughter, except for Nalan Qing, whose face was solemn, without uttering a word. He vividly remembered the scene when Su Chen killed the four Guardians, a scene that was definitely not reflective of his current appearance on stage. It seemed that this detestable boy was hiding his true strength.
