Xuan Tian slammed his hand on the table, his face contorted with resentment.
"That bastard! He's actually a Third Rank early-stage Spiritual Master, and he's been hiding it all this time!"
"Exactly! He didn't even use this trump card when we fought!" Beiming Yan gritted her teeth.
"Is it possible that he didn't need to use any Spiritual Master techniques to defeat us?" Mu Bing said with a helpless smile.
Beiming Yan scratched her head, feeling frustrated but powerless.
"But a mere Third Rank early-stage Spiritual Master can't instantly kill a Fourth Rank early-stage Taotie that has activated its 'Taotie Feast', right?"
Liu Qingkuang laughed heartily, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Good lad! You truly deserve to be called the true dragon of the Liu family! You haven't disgraced me!"
Beiming Yan was even more puzzled, then looked at her brother, Beiming Feng.
"Brother, what does he mean?"
Beiming Feng smiled. "Divine Flame Burning Heart is a spirit formation specifically designed to attack the mind. Combined with the Golden Dragon's Sacred Dragon Flame, its power is comparable to a high-grade spirit formation!
And as everyone knows, spiritual strength isn't the Taotie's strong point. When faced with this terrifying spirit formation that specializes in mental strength, it will have a hard time blocking it!"
Liu Qingkuang smiled smugly.
"The final winner is still Fufeng. And it's no wonder. He studied Ling Qingxue for months to figure this out!"
Beiming Yan gritted her teeth. "Shameless! He doesn't even dare to fight her head-on. That's an unfair victory!"
Liu Qingkuang revealed a contemptuous look. "Tch, how is it an unfair victory? All the power belongs to Fufeng himself. His ability to discover the enemy's weakness is also due to his strength. What do you know, little girl?"
Beiming Feng sneered, a hint of amusement appearing in his eyes.
"Theoretically, Liu Fufeng is indeed clever, having found Taotie's only weakness at this moment, but... reality often slaps people in the face!"
Liu Qingkuang's smile froze.
"What do you mean? Does Taotie have a backup plan?!"
After fighting to this point, how could it possibly have a backup plan?
Even with his King Rank peak strength, he couldn't find any possibility of Taotie turning the tables.
"You'll understand soon enough."
Because of Liu Fufeng's move, this martial arts exam quickly became the most talked-about event of the year.
Countless people saw hope for a comeback in Liu Fufeng!
"I knew Liu Fufeng's trump card was real! After Taotie used its bloodline divine skill, he used a spiritual attack formation to injure its spirit, leaving Taotie with no power to retaliate!"
"Genius! To come up with such a way to turn the tide, Liu Fufeng is the real genius!"
"Damn it, a bunch of hypocrites! Ling Qingxue was certain to win earlier, and now Liu Fufeng is?!"
"Brother, don't push yourself too hard. Taotie can't withstand this attack. Liu Fufeng is still the first in the martial arts exam. Let's give him our applause ahead of time!"
Virtual space.
Liu Fufeng stood atop the Golden Dragon's head, his imposing aura reaching its peak.
His face had begun to turn pale from the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy, but his eyes still burned with an unyielding fighting spirit.
"Divine Flame Burning Heart, engage!!"
The Sacred Dragon Flames that swept around the Golden Dragon transformed into a massive spirit formation shaped like a cannon.
The cannon, blazing with golden flames, unleashed a fireball—a fusion of divine dragonfire and spiritual energy—aiming directly at Wu Liang's spirit.
Facing this attack, Wu Liang neither dodged nor evaded as a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"To be honest, if you were using other trump cards, I'd try to block them with all my might, but you're using spiritual energy to deal with me? You must be underestimating my... 100,000 spiritual energy value!"
Back in the Soul Secret Place, after devouring a portion of the Soul Beast King's soul, his spiritual energy had skyrocketed to 100,000 points!!
That's a full 100,000, reaching the level of a Fifth Rank mid-stage Spiritual Master.
Combined with his high Spiritual Resistance, even the damaged Soul Beast King couldn't outlast him.
What's this mere basic level spirit formation compared to that?
Wu Liang stood calmly, directly withstanding the divine dragonfire cannon, letting it attack his mental barrier.
The dragon flames collided with the mental barrier... A ripple spread out, then silence fell.
Everyone waited for the Taotie to fall.
But Wu Liang's aura showed no sign of weakening, and the mockery in his eyes grew even clearer.
Liu Fufeng's expression shifted from initial confidence to bewilderment and confusion, and finally, mental collapse, all within a few breaths.
"This is impossible! I don't believe it!!"
Liu Fufeng unleashed all the power within him, once again driving the Divine Flame Burning Heart Formation to unleash a series of dense attacks.
But all the attacks were like raindrops, producing little noise... almost completely powerless.
Exhausted, Liu Fufeng and the Golden Dragon fell to the ground, their eyes filled with resentment.
"Why… why do you possess spiritual immunity? How could the Taotie possibly possess spiritual immunity?!"
Ling Qingxue looked helpless. "You're unlucky..."
To be honest, even she hadn't anticipated using the Divine Flame Burning Heart Formation to attack the Taotie's spirit as a way to break the deadlock.
After all, the Taotie possessed an absolute advantage in level and also had the Devouring Domain.
Wu Liang's bloodline rank had also evolved to King Rank one-star. The difference between it and the innate beast bloodlines of Liu Fufeng and the others was negligible.
With these advantages, even she couldn't find a reason to lose.
However, Liu Fufeng's misfortune lay in his oversight of the Beast King Cult.
If it weren't for Yang Wuqi's conspiracy, they wouldn't have gone to the Soul Secret Place, and Wu Liang's spiritual power wouldn't have broken through the 100,000 mark.
Otherwise, today's outcome might have been completely rewritten.
But luck was also a part of strength, and the world only cheers for the victors!
At this moment, netizens were in an uproar.
"What's going on? Is this Taotie cheating? Wasn't it said that Taotie's spiritual strength was very low in the early stages, its biggest weakness? How come the energy cannon can't break through its mental barrier?!"
"Damn it, it's cheating! I just sold my house to bet on Liu Fufeng to win, and now this happens! How am I supposed to explain this to my wife? Don't mess with me, Master Liang, just lose once!"
"I saved up for ten years to buy a house, and I lost it all in one go! Now my wife wants a divorce! Brothers, what do you think? I need help urgently!!"
In the capital, Liu Qingkuang crushed the champagne he had just opened.
Are you kidding me?
How could he lose like that?!
He glared fiercely at Beiming Feng, his face darkening.
"Damn it, Beiming Feng, what exactly did you give Taotie? How could it possibly withstand the Divine Flame Burning Heart?!"
Beiming Feng smirked. "Didn't you go after Yang Wuqi? Don't you know about the Soul Secret Place?"
Liu Qingkuang frowned deeply. "The Soul Secret Place? What does that have to do with Ling Qingxue?"
As if realizing something, his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"You brought her into the Soul Secret Place too, and even let the Taotie devour the Soul-Cleansing Pool! You truly deserve to die!!"
"That's only half right. The Taotie not only devoured the Soul-Cleansing Pool, but also... Yang Wuqi!"
