Chapter 540: Chapter 539: Level Up, Big Cat!

Gu Lan was injured, but the Big Cat should have suffered more severe recoil damage. Its frenzied attack was practically suicidal...Just as Gu Lan had this thought, he saw the Big Cat land, blood still spurting from its mouth, yet its body had already charged at him again. The incandescent glow on its heavy sword was undiminished, if anything, it grew brighter. In the depths of its eyes, the blood-red thickened, and the blood light covering the nearby battlefield intensified.

Had it gone mad? Not even adjusting itself, wasn't this courting death?

Taken aback, Gu Lan hurriedly summoned his bloodline power, his reflective talent once again coming into play.

"Boom—" Once more, both were sent flying backward. Gu Lan's armor was slashed with a crack, and the Big Cat sprayed blood wildly again. Due to the excessive force, the tiger's mouth on its right hand had split open, blood gushing out.

However, the moment it landed, it immediately sprung up again, switching the heavy sword to its left hand. With a fierce slash of the sword, it charged at its opponent once more.

Such collisions were undoubtedly brutal, yet they made the blood of the spectators boil with excitement. So fierce, this was just too fierce!

Sitting in the resting room, Tang San's eyes showed a hint of admiration as he said in a low voice, "Big Cat has won!"

Indeed, the moment Big Cat avoided a critical hit from the Eye of the Lightning God, he knew that Big Cat would win.

In this fight, what enabled Big Cat to overcome its enemy and win was not strength, but experience, rich combat experience. It exploited every ability it could, eventually turning the tide of defeat into victory.

In terms of strength, even if Big Cat could defeat Gu Lan, it would certainly be extremely difficult, but its advantage lay in the fact that Lion Tiger Golden Gang could somewhat counteract the reflective talent. However, the problem was that Gu Lan, coupled with his armor and the Eye of the Lightning God, was not something it could deal with.

Therefore, Big Cat chose to bide its time.

When it felt the formidable threat from the Eye of the Lightning God, it chose patience. The Lion Tiger Golden Gang was used more for defense than offense. That's why Gu Lan felt that although he had been suppressing his opponent, he couldn't truly inflict severe damage on Big Cat.

Descended from the Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor, known for its myriad of intricate variations, the combat methods of its progeny were naturally complex and multifaceted. Big Cat, while constantly on the defensive— even being pushed back step by step by its opponent— was also observing the opponent's combat methods.

Just as Tang San had precisely pointed out Pretty Girl's problem earlier, Big Cat also noticed that, although its opponent wielded a powerful weapon and possessed great strength, it lacked a supremely explosive final blow. This led it to decide to be even more patient, continuously enduring its opponent's attacks.

The process was painful, as it indeed got hurt. But Big Cat found that whenever it was injured, the killing intent within it grew stronger. Under the stimulation of this killing intent, its physical strength and bloodline intensity both increased. In other words, its recovery was quicker than before, and its bloodline power was stimulated to grow even stronger.

This was the intrinsic functioning of the Killing God Field. With this realization, Big Cat became even more confident and bold in its patience. It waited until its opponent sensed something amiss and prepared to burst forth.

By then, the Killing God Field within it could hardly be contained. When the Eye of the Lightning God erupted, its killing intent burst forth as well, forcibly severing the connection between Gu Lan and the Eye of the Lightning God. Big Cat couldn't deal with the Eye of the Lightning God, but it managed to temporarily disrupt Gu Lan's link with it during the sudden attack. And its erratic footwork naturally came from Tang San's teaching, Tang Sect's ultimate Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Rich combat experience told it when to opt for an explosive attack, and this explosion provided it with the best opportunity.

Under the shock of the moment, it turned the tables. It did not allow the opponent to regain the Eye of the Lightning God, nor did it let the opponent escape through teleporting. Now, it was a head-on battle, and it belonged to Big Cat's rhythm.

While it seemed the opponent had a strong defensive armor, every time Big Cat was severely rebounded, its Killing God Field was stimulated to become even stronger. It was suppressing its opponent externally while internally it stimulated its own potential. Thus, its attacks became heavier and more ferocious with each strike.

Right now, it wasn't considering what it would do if it suffered a severe blow in the next match. It was focused on securing victory in the current fight. Under the influence of the pervasive killing intent, its sole concern was its opponent. The heavy sword's slashes were more powerful with each swing.

"Clang!" Big Cat's Heavy Sword could no longer withstand the intense shock of the sixth mutual blow that left both sides wounded; it shattered into fragments, even leaving a deep gash on its shoulder.

But it still did not cease its attacks, and without the Heavy Sword, it resorted to using its fists.

By now, Gu Lan had been completely flustered by its opponent, and its once-pricey armor was now damaged in several places. Yet the opponent continued its assault like a madman, the armor's defensive power was waning, its injuries were worsening, and yet the opponent, who already resembled a blood gourd, seemed to grow ever more powerful and ferocious in its attacks.

Looking at the ferocious visage of Big Cat, Gu Lan finally began to feel fear.

It could sense that cracks were beginning to appear in its Liuli Stone body, and its talent for reflecting was also starting to falter. The rebounding talent of the Liuli Stone Race worked best when in perfect condition; once any damage occurred, it was no longer an unblemished body, and more of the opponent's attack power could seep through.

A madman, this guy is a madman!

"Boom—" The two were once again repelled by the force of their own blows.

This time, the glow from Gu Lan's armor had completely dimmed, and its chest had been torn open by Big Cat's tiger claws, revealing the crystal-clear skin beneath.

However, Big Cat, under the influence of the opponent's reflecting talent, had suffered fractures in its right hand's tiger claws.

"Roar—" It did not stop, did not pause for breath after landing, and charged again with relentless vitality, this time using its left claw. The crazed fervor filled the air with the scent of blood, rushing straight into Gu Lan's brain.

The overwhelming killing intent finally touched the most cowardly part of Gu Lan's heart.

"I give up, I give up!" Gu Lan cried out loudly.

The Great Demon King referee, who was already nearby, instantly entered the arena. With a sweep of his hands, a soft power enveloped Big Cat, moving it to the side and diffusing the force of the attack.

Gu Lan lay on the ground, gasping for air in great heaves.

In terms of injuries, it definitely wasn't as badly wounded as Big Cat.

Big Cat had fractures in its right hand and arm, six or seven broken ribs in its chest, and also suffered a concussion. Its body was stained red with its own blood. Yet, its ferocity only seemed to increase.

Just as Tang San had thought previously, the Killing God Field in the hands of a true warrior like Big Cat was indeed like adding wings to a tiger.

This was the first time Big Cat had employed the Killing God Field on the battlefield, and already it had displayed such brutal might. It did not use the Killing God Field immediately; instead, it let the inner essence of the Killing God Field continually provoke itself, making its body stronger under the stimulation of the killing intent. That's why it could last until now, until it managed to overwhelm its opponent with sheer murderous will.

The Great Demon King referee personally supported Big Cat, lifting its still mostly intact left hand high, "Lion Tiger Tribe, Big Cat, victory!"

The referee didn't even bother to glance at Gu Lan of the Liuli Stone Race. In the battlefield, showing cowardice and not fighting until the final moment made the contestant not worth another look.

I really like the character of Big Cat, who fought with all its might for its tribe. This is also a nickname of a friend of mine who is a well-known author; you can guess who it is.
