Boom!!!
The talismans struck Wolverine, causing an explosion. Although the force of the explosion did not spread far, it was still formidable. Each talisman had a limited explosive power, but when ten were combined, the effect was significant.
The smoke from the explosion obscured visibility, and everyone—from the judges to the audience to the participants—was focused on what was happening inside, all speculating whether this little-known Young Master would create another miracle.
A voice provided the answer: "Awoooo!!!~~~~"
A distant wolf howl echoed out, and a massive figure emerged from the mist. The dust obscured details, but those bright green eyes shone like two colorful lanterns, making it hard not to notice.
Grrr...
A low, angry growl resonated, filled with rage and killing intent that made even the weak-hearted shudder.
With a whoosh, a gigantic shadow rushed forward like a black wind, closing in on Ye Mingshang at incredible speed, its claws poised to tear him apart!
However, Ye Mingshang showed no fear. The benefits of his rigorous training became evident; instead of retreating from the enemy's aggression, he advanced. He stepped forward lightly and positioned himself beneath the giant wolf. With a swift motion, he clenched his fist tightly and struck at the wolf's chest cavity with a powerful blow, utilizing a special technique to unleash all his strength. The impact caused the target area to cave in.
The chest cavity is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body, and this applies to wolves as well. A severe blow to this area can cause breathlessness and may even lead to fainting or sudden death. If the cavity is damaged, breathing becomes extremely difficult; this area is commonly referred to as "Dantong."
After being struck hard in the Dantong area, the giant wolf opened its mouth wide and emitted sounds of labored breathing while its body trembled slightly. Ye Mingshang's principle was simple: once he seized an opportunity, he would not let go—essentially taking advantage of an opponent's weakness.
The giant wolf had long legs, providing enough space for Ye Mingshang to maneuver freely beneath it. He bent his legs slightly and crossed his arms in a martial arts stance, stepping with an unusual footwork beneath the giant wolf as he moved left and right. With each step, his hands struck at the wolf's belly and chest—sometimes punching, sometimes stabbing, sometimes pushing or poking—each hit eliciting painful howls from the giant wolf.
As Ye Mingshang grew more familiar with his movements, his speed increased. Unable to endure the pain any longer, the giant wolf attempted to roll over with all its might. Seizing this opportunity, Ye Mingshang leaped high into the air and extended his right palm sharply toward the wolf's ribcage.
"Rip!"
It sounded like the tearing of fabric, and the giant wolf let out a mournful howl as its body fell uncontrollably to the ground. The impact area showed no visible damage to Amiao, but one of its ribs had been brutally torn apart, and the tearing sound was that of the muscle membrane being ripped.
The giant wolf, realizing the situation, did not want to miss this opportunity. Ye Mingshang immediately performed a spell and prepared to strike again, which frightened the giant wolf into shouting for surrender. After the referee announced the result of the match, it left the arena.
This battle was thrilling; it ignited passion in everyone. Ye Mingshang not only won the match but also earned countless cheers from the spectators. It was spectacular and incredibly exhilarating!
In the previous battle against Dream Soul Wolf, they hadn’t seen much of the fight before it ended. While they were shocked by Ye Mingshang's strength, there was also a sense of regret. This battle completely showcased Ye Mingshang's terrifying power; even a racial elite who was not inferior to the young guardians surrendered in less than two minutes.
One can imagine what level of strength Ye Mingshang possessed. Such an overwhelming display of combat was highly entertaining. This was not like the first round of elimination matches where strong opponents easily defeated weaker ones; the visual effect produced by this level of confrontation was entirely different. It was like two unskilled thugs fighting—messy and chaotic—compared to two seasoned martial artists battling for their lives.
Ye Mingshang gained many fans from this fight, with many who had previously criticized him turning into supporters. In an instant, he became a sensation.
The first match opened with a bang, and the enthusiasm carried over to the second group of contestants, who fought fiercely as if their lives depended on it. After a while, they reverted to their primal instincts in combat, drawing cheers from the audience. Ten minutes later, one contestant lost their fighting ability and transformed back into humanoid form, while the other was severely injured; victory did not come easily.
The subsequent matches were relatively subdued and less intense, but still had many commendable aspects since they featured experienced experts. Although they lacked the excitement of the first two matches, they were still visually appealing.
Before long, the officials called out for Stone Giant. His name was indeed Stone Giant.
"Alright! In this match, we have contestant number eight, Stone Giant, facing off against contestant number twenty-five, Skyhorn Rhinoceros. Both sides excel in strength collisions; let's see who will emerge victorious! Let's cheer for them!" The commentator's excited voice echoed, stirring up the audience's emotions.
The referee stood between both sides and patiently explained the rules: "Both sides are clear on the rules, right? Surrendering, falling out of bounds, or losing fighting capability counts as a loss. Additionally, no lethal attacks are allowed. Now, both sides take your positions; let the match begin!"
With a command given, both sides roared and charged forward. Skyhorn Rhinoceros transformed into its true form immediately... There was no choice; given that it was such a large giant, transforming into its true form would be unavoidable in this situation.
Both of them were straightforward, without any frills. Amidst the earth-shaking footsteps, they quickly collided with each other. Accompanied by a loud crash, the Stone Giant and Iron Mountain Giant slammed into the Rhinoceros, creating a gust of wind that nearly knocked the small-framed referee off his feet.
After the collision, they did not immediately separate but instead began to test their strength, pushing against each other. The Skyhorn Rhinoceros, having not engaged in such a pure display of strength for a long time, seemed very excited. "Kid, you have some decent strength. Let's go again."
"Oh yeah!"
The giant responded with a sound of agreement, clearly pleased. Those simple two words contained an excited tone. They separated and then charged at each other again, crashing heavily together once more. Another dull thud echoed, as if what collided were not bodies but two mountains! Uh... it seems the Stone Giant wasn't exactly flesh and blood either...
Their battle was devoid of any embellishments; it was purely a clash of raw power. After the initial few collisions, they began to employ some techniques, and the previously undamaged sturdy Arena surprisingly burst open with several sizable pits. This simple yet direct clash of strength was a violent aesthetic that drove the audience wild; their cooled enthusiasm was reignited. The excited commentator couldn't stop talking, eager to express everything he had to say.
After seven or eight minutes, neither side could gain the upper hand; they were evenly matched but showed no signs of urgency. The power they unleashed only grew stronger with each exchange; the more they fought, the more exhilarating it became—like two fighting machines, living tanks!
Watching their frenzied battle, Ye Mingshang couldn't help but think that if these two fellows were placed on a battlefield, they would be like human harvesting machines—terrifying beyond measure.
"Oh yeah!" the Stone Giant shouted excitedly as his massive stone fists came crashing down.
"Bring it on! Let's make it exciting!" the Skyhorn Rhinoceros replied enthusiastically as he charged forward with his hard head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The collisions erupted in a series of impacts and loud sounds. The small referee had long since fled from the arena due to the overwhelming force and now sat on the back of a large bird in the sky, watching the battle below with astonishment.
This fight continued for half an hour; the wide and sturdy Arena was now in ruins. The Skyhorn Rhinoceros was panting heavily while the Stone Giant showed no signs of fatigue. Rather than being a monster, it resembled a peculiar life form—a perpetual motion machine that could rival Li Yuanba among humans.
"Huff! Huff!" The Skyhorn Rhinoceros gasped for breath, steam occasionally billowing from his nostrils. Seeing the still-spirited Stone Giant across from him filled him with respect. "Kid, we've been at it for a while now; let's settle this with one decisive move."
"Oh four!" the Stone Giant nodded in response.
The Skyhorn Rhinoceros, however, closed his eyes. His breathing began to stabilize, and after a few moments, his body adjusted to its optimal state. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, exuding a fierce aura.
On the other side, the Stone Giant let out a tremendous roar with all his might, shaking the referee in the sky nearly to the point of falling. The large bird beneath him was also rattled, twisting and turning before plummeting onto a nearby tree.
Even the spectators felt the impact of that shocking shout. Although the sound was not as overwhelming due to audio processing, the tremors on screen were undeniable.
The personnel watching from outside the arena were in for a rough time; they were stunned by the sudden loud noise and experienced ringing in their ears, unable to hear anything for quite a while.
Ling Er, who was observing the battle from Xiangyun Mountain, complained, "Really, if the big stone is going to fight, why does he have to shout so loudly?"
Bai Xiangxue merely smiled without saying anything, while Little Loli watched the battle intently, filled with envy. "If only I could have such strength..."
Nearby, Ye Mingshang was also affected by that earth-shattering roar. Fortunately, he had distanced himself early from the center and blocked his hearing; even so, he still felt dizzy.
Only one person's expression was particularly vivid—Little Tiger. He was envious and amazed as he reminisced about that thunderous roar. "If only my Tiger Roar could have such power..."
Returning to the matter at hand, both fighters fully unleashed their momentum and charged towards the center of the arena, colliding heavily with each other.
Time seemed to freeze as an explosive shockwave erupted! The entire Arena turned into rubble, with dust clouds obscuring visibility within.
