Long Chen suddenly flew into a rage, his figure flashing like lightning. Amidst countless gasps, Long Chen's large hand swung and struck Cao Shaoqing's face hard.
With a loud crash, Cao Shaoqing's wild laughter was interrupted. Blood mist exploded, and Long Chen smashed his face apart, spinning as he was sent flying.
The sudden scene left all the strong warriors present dumbfounded. The twist came so abruptly that it was almost hard to accept.
Long Chen had been in disbelief before, but in an instant, he was furious and started hitting someone. Cao Shaoqing couldn't react at all before Long Chen slapped him away.
The entire arena erupted in boos; they never imagined that such a bizarre scene would unfold in a duel between peerless prodigies.
"Brother Mo Nian, why is Brother Long Chen angry?" Seeing this, Yutong hurriedly asked.
"Everyone in the Ironblood Sect is an idiot. That damn well isn't the Ancient Blood Crocodile at all." Mo Nian was also stunned, momentarily at a loss for how to explain.
Mo Nian looked at Cao Guofeng, the leader of the Iron Blood Sect. At this moment, Cao Guofeng's face was filled with anger. Perhaps because he saw that slap, he was reminded of the slap he had received.
Mo Nian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Originality is originality. Although he had learned most of this move, he still couldn't grasp the essence.
If it were him, attacking from such a distance, that slap would never have landed—that's the difference.
Mo Nian originally wanted to mock Cao Guofeng and ask him to compare it to how Long Chen slapped him and slapped Cao Shaoqing.
But just as Mo Nian was about to speak, Cao Shaoqing had already climbed up from the arena, roaring as he charged at Long Chen: "
I'm going to kill you."
"Get rid of your father's eggs!"
Long Chen gritted his teeth and threw a punch, his dragon roaring loudly. The blood-red dragon scales on his body slowly unfurled, and he delivered a flying kick.
"Boom!"
Amidst countless exclamations, Cao Shaoqing was kicked flying by Long Chen, crashing hard against the arena's barrier, then crashing into the ground of the arena, bouncing several times before finally stopping.
"Pfft!"
Cao Shaoqing scrambled up and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood spilled onto the arena, billowing with blue smoke. The fierce aura of a magical beast made one's soul tremble.
"Idiot, what a waste of feelings. I waited all this long for nothing. You Ironblood Sect call this thing the Ancient Blood Crocodile?" Long Chen pointed at the massive crocodile head in the sea of blood behind Cao Shaoqing and shouted angrily.
Cao Shaoqing seemed stunned by the beating, or perhaps frightened by Long Chen's fury. He shouted loudly:
"If this isn't called the Ancient Blood Crocodile, then what is? Are you blind? Can't you see the ancient blood patterns on its teeth, can't you feel its ancient divine might? Long
Chen roared, "Idiot! Do you know that the Primordial Blood Crocodile is a mutation from the chaotic mutant Huangquan Blood Crocodile? When it was born, it had seventy-two teeth, thirty-six on each side.
Each tooth bears seven blood talismans, no more, no less. Because of these seven talismans, the Ancient Blood Crocodile clan undergoes a Nirvana Tribulation every seventy thousand years.
This Nirvana Tribulation is a curse imposed by the Ghost Emperor on the Yellow Springs Blood Crocodile. Although the Ancient Blood Crocodile is a mutant, it still has to endure this curse.
Seventy thousand years of Nirvana—the Ancient Blood Crocodile has only a ten percent chance of success. If it fails, it will be reduced to ashes, never to be reborn.
Therefore, most ancient blood crocodiles cannot survive the Nirvana Tribulation, but the runes on their teeth hold secrets to unlock the power of Nirvana.
It's precisely because of this secret that the Ancient Blood Crocodile hasn't gone extinct. I've waited so long for you, and you're just showing me this? Long
Chen pointed at the Ancient Blood Crocodile's head and cursed loudly. The Ancient Blood Crocodile was a terrifying existence Long Chen had seen from the academy's records.
The power of Nirvana is hailed as the strongest force in this world and the highest secret. Even the Phoenix and Phoenix clans, who possess Nirvana power, have incomplete Nirvana power.
Long Chen had always been deeply curious about the power of Nirvana, so when he heard that Cao Shaoqing possessed the essence blood of the ancient blood crocodile, he was filled with anticipation. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Among the powerful figures present, only Long Chen and Mo Nian knew the secret of the Ancient Blood Crocodile. Long Chen learned about it from the academy's records, while Mo Nian learned about it from the murals in the underground tomb.
So, the moment the "Ancient Blood Crocodile" appeared, Long Chen and Mo Nian were stunned. This was no ancient blood crocodile at all.
Hearing Long Chen's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. When they looked at the phenomenon behind Cao Shaoqing, they discovered that the blood crocodile's huge mouth had twenty-eight teeth on each side, and each tooth had only one rune.
"No wonder he's the youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy—he knows such secrets inside out." Chief Yuluo couldn't help but sigh; it was only today that she learned the origins of the ancient blood crocodile.
Cao Shaoqing angrily cursed, "You... You're talking nonsense, if this isn't the Ancient Blood Crocodile, then what is it? "
This damn thing is the Ancient Crocodile Lizard, a hybrid of the Crocodile Clan and the Lizard Clan. The crocodile blood in its bloodline has nothing to do with the Primordial Blood Crocodile. You idiot." Long Chen cursed.
"You're the idiot! You're clearly jealous of me, deliberately making up stories to confuse me. If I fall for it, then I'm a real idiot. Go to hell!"
Cao Shaoqing roared, suddenly lying flat on the ground, then the giant crocodile from the phenomenon behind him suddenly opened wide.
"Buzz!"
A blood-red sword shot out from the giant crocodile's mouth, heading straight for Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. Within his vision, a massive dragon claw reached out and grabbed at the divine light. With a loud explosion, the dragon claw actually caught the divine light squarely.
"Oh my god, that's the tongue of a monster." Someone cried out in alarm.
Only then did people clearly see that the divine light was like a spirit snake flicking its tongue. Remembering what Long Chen had said earlier, they immediately believed him ninety percent of what he said. Only species like the serpent lizard would have the ability to attack with tongue-flicking attacks.
"Explode!"
Long Chen grabbed fiercely, his dragon claw trembling violently. The divine light Long Chen grabbed exploded with a thunderous crash, and Long Chen crushed the tongue with brute force.
"Ah..."
Cao Shaoqing let out a mournful scream. Long Chen crushed his visionary tongue, no different from crushing his tongue, bringing him immense pain.
Meanwhile, the strong fighters on the viewing platform were numb at this moment. What should have been an exciting showdown turned into a farce, making it seem rather dull.
"Hurry up and fight!"
"If you don't fight, how can you face our votes?"
"What are you doing? Cao Shaoqing, hurry up and fight back! For
a moment, the whole arena erupted in strong dissatisfaction. They had spent a fortune to watch the battle to learn and gain insights, and in such a decisive battle, they gained nothing from it.
"I'm too lazy to waste time with you."
Long Chen's face darkened as he walked step by step toward Cao Shaoqing, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
