Chapter 251: Magical Beast: So It Turns Out I'm the Legitimate One?!
"Eat a fart!"
A black hand suddenly stretched out silently and snatched the Breaking Chaos Pill from Hai Bodong's hand! The sudden change startled Hai Bodong, and he was taken aback, his body instinctively reacting. His icy blue Dou Qi erupted uncontrollably, his Ice Blue Dou Qi Armor instinctively covering his entire body, exuding a dangerous aura that warned others not to approach! However, at that moment, a pair of hands burning with scarlet-golden flames landed on Hai Bodong's shoulders, as if greeting an old friend after many years apart.
But when those scarlet-golden hands slapped on Hai Bodong's shoulders, pulling the old man halfway into an embrace, Hai Bodong, wrapped in his Ice Blue Dou Qi Armor, felt his body instinctively warning him. His hair stood on end, and his senses of danger went into overdrive, causing his whole body to stiffen!
"Why's the old man so stubborn?" The overwhelming aura, like a giant bear, wrapped around Hai Bodong's right shoulder, and with fiery golden Dou Qi emanating from his body, Jiang Lin held a pill bottle in his left hand. In the moment when Hai Bodong's body stiffened, Jiang Lin casually shoved both the bottle and the pill into his mouth.
"…" Xiao Yan, who had been watching the scene, saw this and his pupils instantly contracted. His mind went blank. "Ah, no... why does Jiang Lin keep putting everything into his mouth?"
On the other side, Hai Bodong, who was held by Jiang Lin, saw the pill he had worked for over ten years being tossed into the mouth of this person, along with the bottle. His mind crashed for a moment, and then an indescribable rage flared up within him. But before that anger could reach his eyes, he felt the scorching heat on his right shoulder and the icy chill all over his body. His mind instantly cleared, and his sense of reason took control of his thoughts!
No one could understand the emotions Hai Bodong was feeling as his stiff body remained under Jiang Lin's grip. Under Jiang Lin's reach, Hai Bodong seemed like prey under the watch of an ultimate hunter! Every cell in his body screamed for him to run! It would kill him! But his body refused to obey! The terrifying sense of impending death loomed over him like a dark cloud!
'Is Teacher Lin really that terrifying? Didn't you say Hai Bodong could at least reach Dou Ling power? Why is he too afraid to move in front of Lin?' Hai Bodong, with his muscles tensed and his face full of fear, was still unable to hide his terror from Xiao Yan, who was equally stunned.
The interaction between Jiang Lin and Hai Bodong was simple. Jiang Lin silently walked over and snatched the pill. Hai Bodong reacted by activating his Dou Qi Armor out of anger, but Jiang Lin effortlessly activated his scarlet-golden Dou Qi on his palms, ignoring Hai Bodong's Ice Blue Dou Qi Armor, and casually put his arm around Hai Bodong's shoulder, causing Hai Bodong to freeze in place!
'Have you heard the legend of the Dragon Clan? It's said that in front of the Dragon Clan, weak magical beasts may become so frightened that they freeze in place, losing control over their bowels, and their muscles stiffen, unable to escape... Though Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, doesn't wet himself in fear, he's clearly within the "hunting range" of that spirit clan kid. Now he has to gamble with his life. Will his Dou Qi explode faster, or will that spirit clan kid break his neck faster through the Dou Ling Armor?' The emotional voice of Yao Chen resonated softly in Xiao Yan's heart.
Yao Chen, who watched from the ancient storage ring, observed Jiang Lin, who was preparing to strike while holding the stiffened old man in his arms. Though it seemed light and casual, Jiang Lin had already exposed his terrifying fighting stance, and Yao Chen couldn't help but feel awed.
This human-shaped weapon from the spirit clan was beginning to show an unimaginable level of terror.
'Is it really that terrifying?!' Xiao Yan was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
Yao Chen, however, remained calm and quickly explained to Xiao Yan: "Although you may not understand this, I'll explain it to you beforehand. Before the Dou Zun level, human fighters have far greater Dou Qi cultivation than physical strength. From battles between human and magical beast fighters, before Dou Zun, human fighters find it difficult to defeat magical beasts of the same rank in direct combat. After Dou Zun, things start to improve because humans prioritize Dou Qi cultivation."
"And the spirit clan kid... It's no wonder. The ancient imperial clan's heritage, the Fire Refining Formula, is a completely different extreme, focusing on physical strength first, while Dou Qi cultivation is much harder to improve. Do you remember that Dou Huang Yun Zhi? When her Dou Qi was sealed, she became so weak that even you, a mere Dou fighter, could bully her."
"I didn't bully anyone!" Xiao Yan was taken aback by this, worried to clarify. After all, he was a well-rounded and handsome young man!
"Hehe." Yao Chen chuckled lightly, then continued explaining: "Hai Bodong is the same. This person has done some body refining, but it's nothing special. In front of the spirit clan kid, he's no different from a normal human fighter versus a Dou fighter. Hai Bodong's only chance to resist lies in his Dou Qi and his armor. Unfortunately, the distance is too close. Hai Bodong's reaction speed is no match for the spirit clan kid. He can't escape. And the Eight Extremities Collapse move is really at a disadvantage. The spirit clan kid's comprehension is outrageous, and the effects of Hai Bodong's armor are greatly diminished."
"Hai Bodong, with Dou Ling strength, can only survive by maintaining distance from the spirit clan kid. Right now, it's like he's being held by a bear-type magical beast whose reaction speed is even faster than his. He can't run."
However, soon, Yao Chen shook his head, reconsidering his thoughts. "Compared to the spirit clan kid, human fighters are an extreme of Dou Qi cultivation. Magical beasts, on the other hand, practice both physical strength and Dou Qi. The spirit clan kid is more focused on body cultivation, and his physique is even stronger than magical beasts. The traditional views on strength don't apply here. The spirit clan kid's power cannot be understood through conventional Dou Qi realms."
At this point, Yao Chen couldn't help but sigh. In the past, humans used superb Dou Skills to kill magical beasts of the same rank, but history seems to be repeating itself. A new extreme has emerged, breaking all rules with sheer power!
In the end, who could have thought that the way of magical beast cultivation is the true middle path?
Both the human traditional cultivation method and Jiang Lin's Fire Refining Formula seem to take the extreme approach!
