Chapter 1840 I'll Roll Around Like a Lazy Donkey!
'calm!
Cheng Benchu, calm down!
He shouted desperately to himself in his heart,
"This assessment was personally set by our ancestor, and our great-grandfather is also watching."
This is my chance, my only chance!
"With my spiritual root aptitude, without special opportunities and with limited family resources, I'll be lucky to be supported until the late Qi Refining stage."
Foundation building is nothing but wishful thinking.
Only by demonstrating sufficient value, and showing our potential to our ancestors and the clan, can we possibly secure that elusive chance at immortality!
'The ancestor passed down the teachings and set up this test, but his intention was by no means merely to defeat this beast.'
What the ancestor wants to see is our understanding and application of those two supernatural powers!
It's the potential to fight against opponents of higher levels!
We must win beautifully!
A clean win!
My old fighting style of grappling, maneuvering, and searching for weaknesses will only lead to my swift defeat in the face of an absolute difference in speed and strength.
We must use the method passed down from our ancestors to decisively defeat them in one strike!
Between the lightning and the fire.
A jumble of thoughts raced through Cheng Benchu's mind, settling and settling until only unwavering resolve remained.
The fear in his eyes receded like the tide.
Instead, there was a near-do-or-die determination.
at this time--
The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the lion-scaled beast, making it tremble and dare not move, suddenly disappeared!
"Roar--!!!"
The pent-up violence and fear instantly transformed into the most frenzied killing intent!
The Lionscale Beast let out a deafening roar, and lightning crackled and flashed around its body, with dark blue electric snakes surging wildly and enveloping its massive form.
With a powerful kick of its four claws, a deep pit was dug into the hard ground.
Its entire body transformed into a violent bolt of lightning that hurtled along the ground, carrying a bloody wind and an aura of destruction, heading straight for Cheng Benchu!
Its gaping maw opened wide, and the sharp, white teeth were aimed at the tiny child's head!
This pounce was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder!
The ferocity of a first-tier high-grade demonic beast was fully unleashed!
"Chu'er!"
Outside the light screen, Cheng Ping'an's expression changed, and he almost lost control and attacked.
however,
At this critical moment, Cheng Benchu made his move!
He did not panic and retreat as everyone expected, nor did he hastily summon defensive artifacts.
At the very instant the lion-scaled beast broke free of its restraints and lightning flashed...
His taut calf muscles suddenly exerted force, his feet moved with the speed of wind, and his body slid to the right like a ghost!
The movement was subtle, yet incredibly precise, landing precisely on the edge of the lion-scaled beast's attack trajectory.
They narrowly escaped the deadly lightning claws!
Danger after danger!
At the same time, he waved his small hand, which had been waiting for a long time!
"call out!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several pale blue wind blades, with sharp edges, emitted a piercing sound as they cut through the air.
It wasn't aimed at the lion-scaled beast's strongest defensive features: its head or the scales on its back.
Instead, it deliberately aimed its arrows at the relatively vulnerable areas during its pounce, such as its abdomen, hind leg joints, and—
Those bloodshot eyes gleaming with murderous intent!
Attack where the enemy must defend, disrupt the enemy's rhythm!
The timing of this swift and decisive strike was impeccable, as if it had been meticulously planned.
If he had been a fraction of a second slower, he would already be under the claws and teeth of the lion-scaled beast.
If he gets to the front line quickly, the Lionscale Beast will have enough strength to change direction and pursue him.
"it is good!"
Offstage, Cheng Huixiang and other young people's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but whisper their approval.
"Remain calm and make accurate judgments in the face of danger!"
Cheng Zhifa praised it.
"Such combat awareness...is this really just from a twelve-year-old child?"
Cheng Luncheng also looked surprised.
Even Cheng Buzheng, whose eyes were usually calm and unwavering, showed a clear hint of satisfaction.
Cheng Ping'an's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased a little, and his clenched fists loosened.
The lion-scaled beast clearly hadn't expected this "snack" to be so slippery and to counterattack so swiftly; having missed its target,
Roars echoed, and lightning surged.
With a swipe of its claws, it shattered several wind blades that were aimed at vital points.
However, in that brief moment of delay—
This was exactly the moment that Cheng Benchu wanted!
There was no longer any hesitation or wavering on his handsome face, and his hands quickly formed a strange hand seal in front of his chest.
"town!"
A soft, yet firm shout escaped his lips.
hum!
Centered on him, a barely perceptible silver ripple spread outwards.
next moment,
A strange spatial projection, about two zhang in diameter, slightly illusory, with distorted light and shadow, suddenly descended like a mirage.
It landed precisely within the lion-scaled beast that had just shattered the wind blade and was about to pounce again!
Supernatural Power - Ten Directions Devouring Void Domain!
The lion-scaled beast's massive body suddenly froze, as if it had sunk into an invisible swamp.
The violent, leaping lightning around it seemed to have met its nemesis, instantly dimming and becoming stagnant.
It struggled frantically, roared deafeningly, clawed at the ground, and flashed lightning desperately, trying to tear apart this invisible restraint.
But the distorted space of light and shadow only rippled slightly, firmly imprisoning it in place.
The movements are now more than ten times slower than before!
However, Cheng Benchu's face also turned pale at a visible speed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Maintaining this suppressive power was not an option for his fourth-level Qi Refining cultivation...
The load was immense, and magical power poured out like a flood.
Fortunately, this monster was only comparable to the late stage of Qi Refining.
same!
He also knew that he only had one chance.
Without the slightest pause, the instant the lion-scaled beast was suppressed...
Despite the throbbing pain in his meridians and the slight dizziness, Cheng Benchu changed the hand seals again, making them more complex and difficult.
He poured all his mind, his remaining magical power, and even his indomitable will into this hand seal.
"Ancestral Imprint... Condense!"
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
A blurry figure appeared out of thin air behind him, quickly solidifying from the indistinct.
The illusory figure was indistinct, its entire body shimmering with a pale golden light, radiating an aura that was distinct from Cheng Benchu's own spiritual power, and far more refined and vast.
Supernatural Powers – Ancestor's Mark!
The moment the afterimage appeared...
Cheng Benchu felt a sudden weakness in his body, as if something was missing.
My vision is also getting a little blurry.
But he held on with all his might, using his last strength, and pointed at the trapped lion-scaled beast from afar.
The pale golden phantom behind him moved in sync, raising a blurry arm and pointing a finger out into the air.
A golden beam of light, condensed to the point of being almost tangible and only as thick as a finger, shot out silently.
The speed was so fast that it exceeded the visual perception of most of the low-level cultivators present!
There was no earth-shattering display, but wherever the golden beam of light passed, subtle ripples appeared in the air.
A chilling sharpness and penetrating intent spread through the air.
The golden beam was not aimed at the lion-scaled beast's hard forehead scales, nor at its relatively vulnerable eyes.
Instead, it was its gaping, roaring maw!
puff!
A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter.
The golden beam penetrated deep into the lion-scaled beast's throat without any obstruction.
The lion-scaled beast's frantic struggles suddenly froze, its blood-red eyes widening sharply.
The violence and madness were quickly replaced by endless terror and bewilderment.
A strange "hoarse" sound came from its throat, and the lightning around it completely went out.
next moment.
boom!
The enormous, scale-covered demonic body, as if all its bones had been removed, collapsed straight forward to the ground like a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Crimson blood slowly seeped from its mouth and nose, staining the ground red.
died.
A ferocious, first-tier superior lion-scaled beast went from breaking free of its restraints to dying in just two or three breaths.
There was silence.
Inside the light screen, Cheng Benchu's face was ashen, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath, his hair soaked with sweat and clinging to his forehead.
The mana consumed to maintain the "Ten Directions Devouring Void Domain" and the activation of the "Ancestral Mark" also greatly damaged his mental strength.
It almost exhausted all his magical power and mental energy.
But he still stood straight, his bright black eyes looking at the two elders outside the light screen, trying hard to force a smile.
Outside the light curtain, after a brief silence—
"it is good!"
Cheng Huixiang couldn't help but clap her hands in praise, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Crisp and efficient!"
Timing, decision-making, and the use of supernatural abilities were all impeccable!
"That kid Benchu really gave us a big surprise!"
"I thought it would at least be a long fight, but I didn't expect... it was an instant kill!"
Cheng Zhifa was also full of amazement.
"The timing of the 'Ten Directions Devouring Void Domain' divine power was perfect, and the 'Ancestral Mark' was even more precise and ruthless, directly targeting the vital points!"
This combat talent..."
Cheng Luncheng nodded, his tone tinged with emotion:
We all underestimated him.
It seems simple, but it actually involves the rhythm of battle, the connection of supernatural powers,
Even their mental state is subject to extremely high requirements.
This child has a promising future.
The group of young cultivators nodded in agreement, their gazes toward Cheng Benchu now quite different from before.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Cheng Qing'er, Cheng Benhai, and the other little ones suddenly burst into small cheers.
“Win!
Xiao Chu won!
“Amazing!
They were defeated in an instant!
"Amazing!"
Cheng Qing'er also breathed a sigh of relief, her little face flushed with excitement, and she waved her little fist vigorously.
Cheng Ping'an breathed a long sigh of relief, his worries vanished, replaced by a deep sense of satisfaction and pride.
He instinctively looked at his father beside him.
Cheng Buzheng's smile deepened.
With a casual wave of his hand, the light screen, along with the corpse of the lion-scaled beast within it, vanished.
Then, looking at the swaying but determined-to-stand boy in the arena, he said gently:
"good."
“His temperament, understanding, and decisiveness are all commendable.”
You have already grasped the essence of these two supernatural powers.
Go down and properly recuperate.
"Yes, ancestor!"
Upon hearing the word "not bad," Cheng Benchu's eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light. He relaxed his strength, swayed slightly, and quickly responded respectfully.
This brief assessment weighed heavily on him.
"Chu'er!"
Cheng Ping'an could no longer contain himself. He flashed to Cheng Benchu's side, supported him, and gently probed his body with his spiritual energy to check for any hidden injuries. His face showed undisguised heartache and pride.
"Quickly, take this Qi-restoring pill."
How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?
Cheng Benchu swallowed the pill through his great-grandfather's hand, feeling a warm current spread through him, his fatigue lessening slightly. He shook his head, revealing a genuine, yet somewhat weak, smile:
"Grandpa, I'm fine."
I'm sorry to have worried you.
"Silly boy……"
Cheng Pingan gently patted his head, his eyes filled with emotion.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze had shifted from Cheng Benchu and returned to the remaining children, his tone still gentle.
Yet it seemed to carry some kind of invisible pressure:
"Who's coming next?"
The little ones exchanged glances. This time, the hesitation and fear in their eyes seemed to have been largely dispelled by Cheng Benchu's decisive and swift battle.
A fighting spirit, a mixture of eagerness and a refusal to be outdone, ignited in their innocent eyes.
"I come!"
next moment!
The moment Cheng Benhai's small figure stepped into the light screen, it was as if he had entered another world.
All the voices from the outside world—
The whispers of his cousins, the exclamations of his companions, even the encouragement from his ancestors—
They all suddenly disappeared and blurred, separated by an invisible barrier.
Instead, there was a deathly silence, and an overwhelming, oppressive pressure carrying the stench of earth and blood.
And those emotionless, dark yellow beast eyes that slowly opened amidst the rising dust.
The enormous body of the earth dragon monster was fully revealed.
Its limbs are slightly bent, its muscles are bulging like a dragon, and the earthy yellow patterns on its body seem to come alive, flowing with a mysterious luster, faintly resonating with the earth.
It did not attack immediately, but instead coldly locked its vertical pupils onto the intruder.
It's like looking at a tiny insect.
This kind of condescending scrutiny is more chilling than a direct, roaring attack.
Cheng Benhai felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping its beating.
The composure he had just maintained outside crumbled instantly in the face of such an absolute power disparity and the palpable killing intent.
He swallowed unconsciously, his throat dry and sore.
The small hand holding the ritual implement was white at the knuckles from excessive force and trembled slightly.
"Roar--!"
Without warning, the earth dragon monster moved!
It didn't charge in a straight line; instead, it pushed off the ground with all four limbs, and its massive body transformed into a streak of dark yellow light with extraordinary agility.
It did not lunge towards the spot where Cheng Benhai had originally been standing.
Instead, it drew a strange arc, blocking his possible escape route.
At the same time, it raised its front paws, slamming them down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
Before the claw wind even arrived, the heavy pressure made the air around Cheng Benhai thick and his steps sluggish.
quick! too fast!
Cheng Benhai's mind went blank. What was this [Ten Directions Devouring Void Domain]?
What is "ancestral imprint"?
The supernatural powers he had practiced countless times in recent days were now completely forgotten.
My only thought was to get away!
Live!
Driven almost by the instinct for survival, he lunged forward without regard for his image, unleashing the most rudimentary form of martial arts—
Lazy donkey rolling around!
His movements were extremely clumsy and lacked any semblance of a cultivator's demeanor.
"Tsk-!"
Sharp claws grazed his back, tearing a long slit in his brand-new robes.
A chilling cold and a burning pain came at the same time.
If he hadn't pounced quickly enough, that claw would have been enough to disembowel him.
Outside the light screen, gasps of surprise erupted.
Cheng Qing'er covered her mouth in fright, and Cheng Benchu's brows furrowed slightly.
Among the group of young cultivators, sighs and head-shaking were even more frequent.
"Feeling fear on the spot is a major taboo for cultivators..."
"You've even forgotten to use your supernatural powers, relying solely on instinct to dodge. How can you possibly win?"
"···"
