Guan Yue first analyzed this killing arena, discovering that it was also a subspace created by a Great Power. The Spirit Beast Killing Formation was located within this subspace.
Since this Spirit Beast Killing Formation was used for Imperial Guard training, it served an evaluative purpose, allowing participants to freely choose their opponents, ranging from first-order spirit beasts to ninth-order spirit beasts. Defeating different spirit beasts would yield various rewards.
The Spirit Beast Killing Formation already had Imperial Guards training inside. Most of them chose first and second-order spirit beasts as their targets.
Guan Yue had no interest in first and second-order spirit beasts, so he immediately started with fifth-order spirit beasts. He did not use any external tools but relied solely on his own cultivation to deal with the spirit beasts. However, when he began to confront seventh-order spirit beasts, he found it quite challenging, as seventh-order spirit beasts were already developing towards divine beasts and possessed some divine qualities. Nevertheless, Guan Yue remained undeterred, utilizing his powerful Inner Strength and Origin Energy, and began to unleash the Li Zu Divine Fist.
Guan Yue was pleasantly surprised; when he used the Li Zu Divine Fist again, he quickly grasped the sixth and seventh forms. Overjoyed, he immediately executed the sixth form: Zhou Tian Qi Zhuan and the seventh form: Breathe Out a Qi Vent.
At that moment, Guan Yue felt that using the Li Zu Divine Fist was more powerful than ever before—ten times stronger at least. The vast fist wind and mighty fist force astonished him.
With great enthusiasm, Guan Yue charged towards the spirit beast using the Li Zu Divine Fist, finally confronting it. The seventh-order spirit beast was not to be underestimated; its agility was comparable to that of a Peak of the Human Realm Disciple, and its Combat Power surpassed that of a Peak of the Human Realm Disciple.
It was precisely because he had defeated countless spirit beasts on his way into the Vast Empire and accumulated rich combat experience that even with ten times the Combat Power, Guan Yue could contend with a seventh-order spirit beast.
Among those watching, Gao Yuxin was the most delighted.
She could see golden light radiating from Guan Yue's body, spreading outwards. However, since they were in a subspace, the emitted light was absorbed by this subspace, leaving Guan Yue completely unaware of it.
"Hehe, there are already eighteen thousand drops of Essence. It seems that practical combat is incredibly beneficial for Brother Guan," Gao Yuxin summarized. She only observed the phenomenon but did not understand its cause.
As the Essence increased, Guan Yue's combat power rose once again.
However, the seventh-order spirit beast sensed Guan Yue's increase in Essence and began to retreat. It became apparent that Guan Yue's blood was golden; he was a descendant with golden blood! Advanced Spirit Beasts would show deference to bloodlines of high-level inheritance. As long as it did not threaten their lives, they generally preferred not to fight fiercely against such individuals.
Yet Guan Yue did not know this reason; he continued to pursue relentlessly and attacked the seventh-order spirit beast with all his might.
Finally unable to endure any longer, the seventh-order spirit beast launched a deadly counterattack against Guan Yue. Once its counterattack commenced, it was incredibly fierce and unstoppable; the immense impact felt like a Raging Storm crashing down.
Guan Yue was overjoyed; at that moment, his entire Origin Energy surged as his fighting passion soared. Instead of retreating, he charged forward against the power of the seventh-order spirit beast while unleashing Li Zu Divine Fist continuously. At this time, he employed Five Elements Will; after incorporating it into his attacks, Guan Yue's overall Combat Power clearly surpassed that of the seventh-order spirit beast. The seventh-order spirit beast truly retreated then and swiftly vanished from sight.
Guan Yue then engaged in battle with an Eighth-Order Spirit Beast.
At first, Guan Yue only used Five Elements Will to confront the Eighth-Order Spirit Beast and felt an immense pressure. Shortly after the battle began, the Eighth-Order Spirit Beast suddenly went berserk and launched a counter-stranglehold against Guan Yue.
This is because during the training of the Imperial Guard, very few people can confront an Eighth-Order Spirit Beast, and this particular Eighth-Order Spirit Beast has already awakened its divine nature. Therefore, it looks down on Guan Yue, this child. After failing to defeat Guan Yue in the first three moves, it became furious and immediately attempted to kill him.
Seeing the situation was dire, Guan Yue once again empowered his Seven Elemental Will to fight back. As Guan Yue's Origin Energy surged throughout his body, he utilized the Seven Elemental Will to engage in battle with the Eighth-Order Spirit Beast.
Guan Yue launched a powerful counterattack, combining the Seven Elemental Will with Mental Attack and Consciousness Attack, along with his increasingly proficient Li Zu Divine Fist. He attacked the spirit beast with all his might, especially using Mental Cage to gradually diminish the Eighth-Order Spirit Beast's willpower to attack, causing it to start retreating.
At this moment, Guan Yue smiled: could he now contend with a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast? He was very much looking forward to it!
Thus, Guan Yue proposed a battle against a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast.
At this time, Carefree Traveler and his friend, who was in charge of the Spirit Beast Killing Formation, looked at Guan Yue with unusual expressions. It seemed as if their gazes wanted to strangle him. This was simply outrageous!
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy actually wanted to confront a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast? What does a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast represent? It is at least a Great Power existing between Wonderland and Eternal Realm; some powerful Ninth-Order Spirit Beasts are even stronger than the Combat Power of Eternal Realm Disciples and can contend with them! In this Imperial Guard training ground's Spirit Beast Killing Formation, no disciple under a hundred years old has ever fought against a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. Not one!
This was a decision made by Guan Yue after careful consideration to demonstrate his Combat Power. He decided that since he wanted to make a name for himself, he should do so flamboyantly. Therefore, he resolved to battle against a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast.
Before entering the battle area, Guan Yue carefully observed his Blood Sea and saw that countless Essences had appeared above the blood, at least over twenty thousand drops. This battle would surely be beneficial for him; why not take advantage of it?
Some Imperial Guard generals who were training heard about a young boy challenging a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast and came over one after another to watch. They wanted to see who this remarkable person was.
Guan Yue was sent into the arena against the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. The administrator made the space transparent so that everyone watching could see Guan Yue battling the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. This attracted even more Imperial Guard generals and warriors to watch.
As soon as Guan Yue entered the arena, he immediately used his Seven Elemental Will combined with Li Zu Divine Fist to confront the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast.
The spectators outside, including Carefree Traveler and others, laughed uproariously when they saw Guan Yue using Li Zu Divine Fist against the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast.
Li Zu Divine Fist is an ordinary boxing technique typically used for strengthening one's body; how could it possibly contend with a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast? However, they did not realize that their understanding of Li Zu Divine Fist was superficial. Although Guan Yue had reached Guardian Realm, he had not fully grasped the essence of Li Zu Divine Fist and could not yet execute all nine forms completely; he had only just begun to understand the first seven forms. Nevertheless, the power of Guan Yue's Li Zu Divine Fist was already incredibly strong and formidable.
Only one instructor from the Imperial Guard named Northern Champion noticed something different. He saw that Guan Yue's Li Zu Divine Fist exuded an immense Heaven's Will! To be able to produce Heaven's Will from such an ordinary boxing technique was truly remarkable!
He approached the supervisor of the killing arena and inquired about Guan Yue's background while candidly expressing his desire to befriend him. Carefree Traveler realized that this person was actually Northern Champion, one of the eight instructors of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, he had just been appointed as the commander of the Eighth Legion—a significant military figure! If he could establish a connection with him, it would greatly benefit Thirteenth Prince's ambitions.
But how could he establish that connection?
Carefree Traveler immediately spoke up: "Northern General, this young friend in the killing arena is brought by me; his name is Guan Tian..."
"Haha, Guan Tian! What an interesting name! A name that signifies taking lives—battling on blood-soaked lands and traversing across realms to claim lives for national safety and peace. A man should be like this; I like this name," Northern Champion clearly did not recognize Carefree Traveler but held great admiration for Guan Yue. His fondness for Guan Yue could be seen from these words, even though his references felt somewhat forced.
Carefree Traveler was constantly thinking about how to trap this giant wolf, while Northern Champion kept watching Guan Yue in the subspace, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
At that moment, Guan Yue began to confront the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. It was his first time experiencing the overwhelming power of a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast up close, and the beast's imposing aura pressed down on him, making him feel the terrifying might of divine power.
This Ninth-Order Spirit Beast was not just twice as powerful as an Eighth-Order Spirit Beast. The difference was like heaven and earth.
Guan Yue immediately realized something was wrong; if he didn't exert all his strength, he could be taken down by this Ninth-Order Spirit Beast in no time.
He instantly unleashed all his power using Nine Pulse Will, combined with Mental Attack, Consciousness Attack, and the seven forms of Li Zu Divine Fist, fiercely resisting the attacks from the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast.
The attacks from the Ninth-Order Spirit Beast seemed very casual; it appeared that it wasn't specifically targeting Guan Yue, but merely using its might to compress the space around him. However, Guan Yue could genuinely feel its powerful strikes. He understood that this was precisely the goal he should pursue: physical attacks, also known as spatial attacks.
Typically, when a Disciple attacks an opponent, they would use point attacks or line attacks. But when faced with a tide of numerous enemies, area attacks become essential. During a beast tide when overwhelming enemies surround you, physical attacks—spatial attacks—are crucial. In Gao Yuxin's words: it's three-dimensional attacking.
The Ninth-Order Spirit Beast, with its internal Spirit Beast forming, had already grasped much of divine intent. Thus, even inadvertently, it could unleash considerable divine skills, such as spatial attacks, which posed a significant challenge for Guan Yue.
At that moment, Guan Yue's movements were severely hindered; his agility slowed dramatically, leaving him only able to passively endure blows without any strength to counterattack.
Only Gao Yuxin kept shouting: “Brother Guan, the amount of Essence is increasing again!”
Guan Yue was completely on the defensive; he even considered using the Sky Peak Tower, but he held back. He thought of the Magic Supreme Technique.
