Chapter 27

The young man had lost. The crowd recovered from their shock and began to discuss.

“What a powerful Soul Skill! As expected, Soul Dao is always stronger than Body Cultivation!”

“The young man’s physical power is powerful. If Wang Chen were to fight him in close combat, it’s hard to say who would win.”

“What are you thinking? How can physical power be stronger than a Beast Soul Ring? Body Cultivation will never be able to compete with Soul Dao!”

“In a world where Soul Dao dominates, Body Cultivation is nothing!”

The Soul Warriors around him were still arguing, which made Li Ran frown. He turned around and glanced at the Soul Warriors behind him, feeling an indescribable frustration in his heart.

‘Is there really no way forward for Body Cultivators?

‘Not necessarily!’

Li Ran decided not to listen to those words. His attention returned to the arena.. A huge battle had just ended there, and another Soul Warrior had entered the arena. It was the youth’s companion.

‘He shouldn’t be a match for Wang Chen.’

Li Ran watched for a while and came to a conclusion. As expected, in less than a minute, that Soul Warrior was completely crushed. In the end, his body was thrown out of the arena, and he was unable to move!

A few of them were successively defeated by Wang Chen’s fierce attacks!

Among them was another disciple of the Pure Wind Clan. Li Ran had heard of that disciple. In the Pure Wind Clan, even Soul Warriors of the same realm were not his match.

Even a powerhouse of the Pure Wind Clan was unable to withstand two moves from Wang Chen’s Soul Skill!

Among the three teams, the Soul Warrior who had been designated to go fight had been defeated or injured. There was only one person left at the moment

The three teams looked at that person at the same time. Next, they shook their heads and looked away.

“Isn’t that the young master of the Pure Wind Clan? I heard that he only awakened one Soul Ring, and it’s a ten-year-old stone. Hahahaha.”

Someone from the Wang Xiang family recognized Li Ran and mocked him.

“Didn’t you say that he started Body Cultivation? His strength should’ve increased, right?”

“Body Cultivation? Look at that Body Cultivation youth from before. wasn’t he beaten to the ground by our young master?”

“That’s right. What can Body Cultivation change? The two Body Cultivators of the Pure Wind Clan are still no match for our young master. It’ll be even more impossible for him, Li Ran!”

“Hahahahaha, if you ask me, what’s the point of fighting? Just admit defeat!”

…

The Wang Xiang family’s disciples were certain that Li Ran was no match for Wang Chen. The Nine-Tailed Fox was going to be theirs for sure, and they had even begun to discuss how to deal with it.

Since the other group of the Wang Xiang family’s disciples did not know much about Li Ran, they only used the Soul Ring on his arm to analyze its age before turning their gazes away in regret.

As for the people from the Pure Wind Clan…

After the defeat of the other two Soul Warriors apart from Li Ran, the only hope left in their hearts was extinguished.

They did not think highly of Li Ran. With his strength at the moment, it was undoubtedly impossible for him to win against a Soul Warrior with a fearsome Beast Soul Ring.

The two elders and the other disciples were dejected. How could they be willing to hand over the Nine-Tailed Fox that had lived for 10,000 years?

For a moment, the atmosphere was strange. There was still Li Ran who had yet to make a move, but everyone had automatically ignored him.

“You didn’t give me face the last time at the Dongluo Market. Today, I’ll let you have a taste of this!”

Wang Chen, who was the focus of everyone’s attention, glanced disdainfully at Li Ran, who had a very low sense of presence. He felt great satisfaction in his heart.

In his opinion, it was not worth it for him to use his Beast Soul Ring on Li Ran, who did not have an outstanding Soul Ring at all!

The Wang Xiang family’s disciples were in high spirits because they were going to harvest the Nine-Tailed Fox not long after entering the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. The morale of the entire group had soared, and they were greatly encouraged.

On the other hand, the morale of the other two groups was somewhat low. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and accepted his loss. He gathered his disciples and prepared to leave this place and head to other places in the Desolate Millet Mountain Range to hunt other monsters.

Everyone thought that Li Ran would back off after knowing the difficulty. What was he? How delusional would he be to think that he could challenge Wang Chen?

Just as everyone was packing their things and preparing to leave…

“You still want to challenge me?”

Wang Chen’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the thin youth who was walking over.

He subconsciously felt that he had seen wrongly. He had defeated so many Soul Warriors and displayed a shocking Beast Soul Skill. How could Li Ran still dare to challenge him?

Had he gone mad?

When the others heard this, they looked over dumbfoundedly. ‘Why aren’t the people of the Pure Wind Clan doing anything about this?’

‘Had they lost their minds because of the Nine-Tailed Fox?’

‘Isn’t he courting death?’

‘Didn’t they see how terrifying Wang Chen’s Beast Soul Ring was?’

Everyone who was about to leave stopped in their tracks. That middle-aged man frowned and shook his head in disapproval. Li Ran was too impulsive!

Li Ran had saved their people, so they actually had a good impression of him. When they saw him challenge Wang Chen, they were even more disapproving and worried.

This was because Li Ran would undoubtedly lose.

He would lose miserably!

‘Ah!

‘He shouldn’t have been so impulsive!’

The happiest people were none other than the disciples of the Wang Xiang family. They all had derisive smiles on their faces. A guy who overestimated his own abilities really dared to come knocking on their door and court death.

“Lil’ Ran!”

Li Xun anxiously called out to Li Ran. He had not noticed. Who would have thought that his son would really go to fight?’

He reacted and immediately called out to the youth who was walking toward Wang Chen.

‘You’re not a match for him!’

Li Ran’s body had just recovered not long ago. If his old illness were to reappear because of this sparring, the losses would outweigh the gains!

“Father, believe me. I want to let everyone know that there’s still a path for Body Cultivators!

“We Body Cultivators aren’t boorish people. We’re not so easily defeated!

“In the world of the Azure Dragon Continent, not only Soul Dao but Body Cultivation can also occupy a piece of the world!”

The youth turned his head and faced Li Xun, the elders, and the disciples of the clan. He spoke to everyone in a vigorous and forceful manner.

As he was too excited, his face flushed slightly.

When these words were spoken, not only Li Xun, but everyone from the Pure Wind Clan also felt their hearts surge with emotions.

In the other group, many of them were Body Cultivators. Due to Li Ran’s words, their souls as Body Cultivators that had been silent for a long time began to glow. Their eyes were somewhat teary, and they all looked at Li Ran in unison.

“Defeat him! Prove that Body Cultivation isn’t inferior to Soul Dao and that the path of Body Cultivation shouldn’t be cut off!”

In that group, the heavily injured youth who was being supported by his companions shouted excitedly.

Li Ran nodded solemnly at everyone.

He turned around and fixed his gaze on Wang Chen.

“Just a bunch of defeated opponents. Body Cultivators are no different from trash.”

Wang Chen was disdainful and scoffed at those people.

“Tell me, how would you like to die? I’m afraid that the moment I use my Soul Ring, you’ll be defeated. You won’t even be able to withstand a single move from me. How disappointed will those people be?”

He looked at Li Ran as if he was looking at an ant.

“Is that so? I’m also very afraid.”

Before Wang Chen could laugh out loud, Li Ran said slowly, “I’m afraid that if I accidentally beat you to death, it won’t be good for your people to find trouble with me. Don’t you think so?”

The smile on Wang Chen’s face froze. His expression was very gloomy as he let out a disdainful snort from his nose.

“You only know how to talk. I’ll send you to your death right now!”

All of a sudden, a strong wind blew.

As soon as the phenomenon appeared again, everyone knew that the behemoth that had appeared earlier, the ferocious beast that was known as the Beast Slayer, was about to appear.

The sky was shining. An enormous creature was stepping on the ground crazily. One second, it was coming from thousands of kilometers away, but the next second, it appeared in the sky.

Li Ran was prepared. He clenched the stone in his hand and stared at the fierce beast.

“Beast Slayer, kill him!”

Wang Chen gnashed his teeth and shouted. His handsome face became ferocious and terrifying!

After receiving the order, the fierce beast that was leaping in the sky immediately rushed toward the skinny human. It roared and showed its fearsome fangs.

“Stone, smash it to death!”

Li Ran took the opportunity to throw the stone. The small stone drew a beautiful arc in the air.

The stone that was not even as big as a fist did not seem to have any relation to its lethality. The beast that was charging was stunned for a second. It seemed to be even more excited and increased its speed as it rushed toward the sky.

“Ridiculous. You’re trying to stop Beast Slayer with that?”

Wang Chen thought that Li Ran was hiding some big moves. In the end, it was just that broken stone. What kind of damage could it cause to Beast Slayer?

He even doubted it could break Beast SLayer’s skin.

When everyone saw this, some people could not help but laugh. Some people shook their heads and sighed bitterly. ‘What can the stone do to the beast!’

However, they could not laugh anymore when they saw what happened next.

Everyone stared blankly at the change that occurred in the air. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces turned pale with shock!

Li Ran’s mouth moved slightly, and the stone that he threw at the ferocious beast suddenly became several times bigger. It was larger than the creature.

It was as if a mountain was pressing down. The ferocious beast wanted to escape, but the entire world belonged to the stone at this time. It was futile no matter where it escaped!

“Suppress!”

Li Ran swept his gaze across the sky and lightly uttered out a word, but it was filled with killing intent.

The black mountain in the sky stopped expanding and forcefully suppressed the ferocious beast!

Everyone below felt a suffocating feeling. No matter how powerful they were, they could not breathe for a moment.

“Rumble!”

The ground shook, and a huge deep pit was formed in the distance. That incomparably rampant creature lay inside with its last breath. Its eyes were filled with fear, and its body had shrunk by more than ten times. It did not have the slightest trace of the unruly arrogance in the sky just now.

Before long, the mountain peak that suppressed the ferocious beast disappeared, turning into a small stone and returning to Li Ran’s palm.
