"Begin!"
The arena roared with approval.
At the same time, the five competitors beside Li Yuechan also erupted with their beast transformation arts. The two burly figures from the lion faction were particularly eye-catching. Ji Wangji and Yu Yanjia both cultivated the berserk bull transformation art made famous by the deceased Immortal Berserk Ox.
"Moooo!"
"Mooo!"
The two men transformed with great waves of spiritual energy. Their bodies which were already large for an average cultivator grew several fold. Horns grew out of their foreheads and their faces gained notably bull-like features.
Their height grew to almost four meters. Their clothes were shredded into pieces to make way for bulging muscles. Even their pants disappeared, revealing sizable bull testicles that swayed from side to side with the slightest movement. Even more prominent was the extra appendage that dangled between their legs.
Li Yuechan covered her eyes with her left hand and refused to look at the two perverts. Cultivators of beast arts felt little shame about nakedness but this was still too much for someone like her.
To her side, the other female cultivator of the eagle faction also transformed. In an instant, a thick snake-like body grew out from under her skirt, replacing her lower body. She became a half-woman, half-snake.
"Heavens, that is the snake demon transformation art of Immortal Embracing Python Mei Qiaofeng!" Someone quickly shouted.
It was indeed. This woman used to be a disciple under the snake faction. Through some way or another, she managed to escape the purge and was now a member of the eagle faction. She had been allowed to showcase her ability today as a direct response to Jin Zenan's snakeskin transformation art. Since the lion lord wanted to reveal their power, the eagle lord naturally had to respond.
Li Yuechan didn't care too much about these things. Such precious cultivation secrets naturally had to be preserved. Even if the entire Beast God City fell down, there would be people left to carry on its legacy.
She still held her hand up to block the unsightly view of the naked bull-shaped men in front of her. She didn't want to fight them, especially at close quarters. It was really disgusting.
On her other side, Qu Jing and Yang Cang had also finished transforming. Qu Jing utilized the eagle wing transformation art, creating a pair of massive wings on his back that gave him great flying ability. Yang Cang practiced the partial badger transformation art. His hands turned into heavy claws and his upper body was covered in brown fur that acted as armor.
"Let's go!" Yang Cang shouted and charged at Qu Jing.
"Haha, about time!" Qu Jing replied.
Both were souls of Chen Wentian. Naturally, he wasn't going fight his disciple with them. He was instead going to put on a good show just like he had promised.
Boom!
The two top geniuses crashed into each other. Spiritual energy that was at the lesser realm of Spiritual Growth collided and emitted bright lights. When the dust settled, the audience finally saw what had happened.
Qu Jing had not faced Yang Cang's large claws barehanded. Instead, Qu Jing now held a heavy sword with both hands. Such a heavy weapon combined with the ability to fly and attack from high up, they were the perfect combination.
"Already resorting to weapons? Cheap!" Yang Cang taunted.
"Noisy!" Qu Jing pushed with his blade and disengaged.
With a sweep of his wings, he shot into the air and after a beautiful summersault, came straight back down with his sword pointed at Yang Cang.
"Bastard… Unbreaking Claw!" Yang Cang's claws glowed white as he launched a counterattack.
Kah!
The clash created a windstorm that swept over the fighting platform. Li Yuechan felt her feet slide slightly on the stone floor. The power of those two wielded was impressive. Her hand itched to join the battle but it wasn't time yet.
"Brother Ji, I think it is our turn."
"Yes, Brother Yu, let's go!"
The ox-like beasts stomped toward her and the snake lady, their heavy hooves leaving deep marks on the stone tiles.
"Miss Li, be careful!" The other woman warned.
Unfortunately, her worry was misplaced. When Ji Wangji and Yu Yanjia crossed the halfway point, they suddenly burst into action. With surprising speed that was aided by immeasurable strength, they both charged towards the snake lady instead of Li Yuechan.
"Oh no!"
But it was too late. The snake lady met the full brunt of two berserk bulls and was trampled beneath them. Li Yuechan hadn't been preparing her own defenses and didn't expend this turn. The snake lady wasn't beaten so quickly but she fell immediately under their heavy fists and hooves. After a brief but vicious beating, she fell unconscious.
"Moooo!" One of the naked ox men roared in triumph.
"Hahaha, that's better. Ugly women should not stand next to our goddess and ruin the view."
"Serves her right! Now, where were we?"
The three-legged beasts turned to Li Yuechan. Their little black eyes roamed over her figure from head to toe several times. It was enough to disgust even a woman with the lowest of standards.
Li Yuechan stood her ground but she was silently complaining in her heart. She knew the importance of this mission but if she knew that it meant staring down these disgusting men, she would have rather stayed at the sect.
"Ice Sword Li Yuechan, we don't want to hurt you." Ji Wangji said with a smile, drool dripping down his open mouth, "Rather, how about we make a bet? If you can withstand twenty combined attacks from the two of us, then we will admit our defeat. But if we win, you will have to accompany us for three days and three nights."
"Hehehe" Yu Yanjia laughed as if that was the most amusing thing in the world.
The action made his sizable bull belly shake which in turn made his oversized balls swing with dangerous momentum. If an unfortunate person had their face next to them, they would have been knocked out cold by the force of the impact.
Such disturbing thoughts aside, Li Yuechan had little intention of accepting their wager. She just had to beat up two people. It was simple enough.
"Wait, wait." Ji Wangji said hurriedly, sensing her displeasure, "Only two days and two nights. We will be the happiest men in the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent if you could fulfill this request… No, wait, one night? Please, just one night!"
Li Yuechan's eyes flashed with rare anger. Beneath her pupils, there was the color of ice and snow, coldness that could rival the deepest abyss. But there was also fire, crimson and burning bright like her emotions.
The Ageless Ice Sword inside her spatial bag pulsed with positive energy, fully supporting her choice. She smiled. With her master's approval, two distinct spiritual energies left her spiritual sea and traveled into her arms. In her right palm appeared a swirl of white ice and in her left was a blazing fireball.
