Chapter 711: Revealing Strength (II)
The battle swung quickly with the appearance of the snakeskin transformation art. It used to be the primary secret art of a Spirit King so it was no joke. Jin Zenan was already the strongest person on stage and he instantly became unstoppable. No attacks breached his snakeskin defense. It was as if he was wearing a layer of hardened scales. His own attacks were powerful and so fast that the opponents could barely dodge.
After several more exchanges, Jin Zenan made his way without resistance to the top of the pole and claimed the fox as his prize. The final score was three to zero as Team Skylark achieved a perfect victory for this round.
“Yeah!”
“Team Skylark!”
“Jin Zenan!”
One-half of the audience shouted their praises and gave their team a long round of applause. The other half stayed as quiet as a funeral. Many youths had ugly expressions with the understanding that they couldn’t hope to challenge Jin Zenan now or in the future.
Jin Zenan and his group stepped off the stage and returned to their side. Along the way, they passed by their senior brother Yang Cang who was sitting at the front.
Yang Cang, who was also one of Chen Wentian’s souls, beckoned to Jin Zenan who paused his steps.
“Little Jin, I didn’t expect the Lion Lord would pass down the snakeskin transformation art to you. You’ve worked hard.”
“Senior Brother Yang,” Jin Zenan said respectfully, “I apologize for keeping this a secret from everyone including senior brother.”
Chen Wentian nodded. He indeed hadn’t known about this. Yang Cang was merely a talented disciple of Qiu Chuyi. He was not even a member of a lesser noble family but someone that Qiu Chuyi had picked up from the countryside.
Jin Zenan was a little different. Jin was not a surname of the immortal lords but it was an old family. Within the city, they had a lot of influence and used to be aligned with the snake lord before suddenly switching sides before the snake lord lost his life. This Jin Zenan also used to be a member of the snake faction and his status was probably not low.
This matter was highly intriguing. The lion faction had not publicized the Jin family until now. Chen Wentian made a mental note to investigate this matter as he felt that it might hold a clue as to what exactly happened to let the snake faction fall so quickly.
The Fox Volant of Beast Mountain continued with the next round. The prize this time was a desert wind fox, the same one that Chen Wentian had bought for Jasmine some time ago. He didn’t pay too much attention as the next group took the stage.
They were also the early levels of the Spirit Initiate Realm so there wasn’t anything new. They each performed beast transformations or partial transformations and slapped each other with physical attacks. In terms of ascetics, it definitely lacked the flair and performance aspect of sword arts.
“You...”
“You what? Didn’t you just want a fight? You could have asked respectfully like a person instead of spouting vomit like a pig.”
“You...” He Yuankang’s face turned red.
“You what? Why is it so hard for you to speak properly? How long did it take you to memorize that speech earlier?”
He Yuankang slammed his feet into the ground, destroying several stone tiles, “Zhou Ziyun! You dare? I’ll beat you to death. Hurry and call your teammates!”
“No need!”
As she said that, Zhou Ziyun closed the distance between them with rapid footsteps.
He Yuankang barely had time to open his mouth and shout before a crisp slap sent him flying.
