The battle between Mu Can and Wang Cai directly turned the world upside down, as the entire Duel Arena was engulfed by gusty winds, blizzards, and flames. However, everyone’s Divine Sense was also blocked by a layer of magical barrier—that was Wang Cai’s doing. A massive Array had enveloped the entire Duel Arena, isolating everything.
Those outside could only rely on their naked eyes to see the howling winds, the rolling white snow, and the sky-reaching flames within the arena, a chaotic scene that seemed almost out of control.
But while such a lively scene unfolded outside, the two men inside were comfortably seated in chairs, merrily sipping wine.
"Woof! I say, lad, your luck is truly good. I’ve rummaged through all those green Secret Manuals, and I didn’t manage to get even one, yet you somehow got your hands on one."
Wang Cai downed the fruit wine in front of him and gestured for Mu Can to refill his cup. This wine infused with Life Spiritual Power was irresistible no matter how much one drank.
"Haha, you’re really unlucky." Mu Can laughed heartily. He had stopped Wang Cai from telling earlier tales, putting it another way, even he might not necessarily possess Wang Cai’s formidable mindset—continuously bouncing back after being thrown away so many times, it was apparent how attractive the Secret Treasure inside the Ultimate Secret Manual was to Wang Cai.
"Ah, if not for the Qiankun Compass, I couldn’t have persevered; it was just too torturous." Wang Cai drank the wine with relish, looking at the tempestuous winds, snowstorms, and fierce flames outside with a taste of his own enjoyment.
"Alright, this time we made a good haul. The only thing is we don’t know exactly what the Ultimate inheritance here is. If we can acquire it, this trip would be brought to a perfect conclusion." Mu Can drank up the fruit wine in his cup. Although it was called fruit wine, its alcohol content was actually particularly low, and it might be more appropriate to call it a beverage.
"Mmm, I’m going back to the Reincarnation Pearl, eh. Give me some more of this wine, I’ll take some to Xiao Fuqi and the others." Wang Cai was quite righteous; knowing not to hog it all for himself, he remembered the many beasts living in the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, and to bring some for the silly Tree-person too, as this Life Spiritual Power should be very beneficial for tree people’s growth.
Wang Cai transformed into a beam of light that entered the Reincarnation Pearl. Of course, carrying a big vat of the fruit wine processed by Mu Can—enough for all the people and beasts on the fourth level to have a hearty drink.
In fact, Wang Cai also somewhat missed the life inside the Reincarnation Pearl, as it had been a long time since he last returned.
The moment Wang Cai disappeared, a beam of light appeared at the spot where Wang Cai had been. After seeming perplexed for a moment, it vanished into thin air. Mu Can casually withdrew the winds, snow, and flames, slowly revealing his silhouette before the eyes of the crowd.
There was a commotion all around; it was apparent that Wang Cai was deemed a much greater threat in their hearts compared to Mu Can. Seeing Mu Can emerge victorious, these few individuals all appeared vigilant.
Wang Cai, being so powerful and yet losing to Mu Can, proved one thing from another angle—that Mu Can’s strength surpassed that of Wang Cai.
Even Donghuang clenched his fists, but soon after, relaxed and exhaled a soft breath.
At last, he no longer had to face that terrifying big black dog. Although he had previously mentioned wanting to treat everyone to dog meat, it was merely said in frustration. If he were to choose an opponent, he would one hundred percent choose Mu Can over Wang Cai.
"You’re good, kid." Dongfeng Shuo gave Mu Can a big thumbs up. Among those present, perhaps only Dongfeng Shuo was full of confidence in Mu Can.
The final battle looked even more intense than the one between Mu Can and Wang Cai.
Donghuang unexpectedly encountered a formidable opponent here, one who had obtained the Ultimate Secret Manual. Moreover, the opponent was more than ordinary. The relentless Attack Martial Skills also caused great trouble for Donghuang, even cornering him at one point, making him seem like a live target.
A sky filled with fire rain, and eventually even controlling the earth to form a huge fist, ruthlessly smashing towards Donghuang. With that one hit, Donghuang was actually injured.
Mu Can was also somewhat surprised; this opponent of Donghuang was so strong. However, in the end, Donghuang unleashed his power, and the battle resumed into a tug-of-war.
The endless array of methods displayed by Donghuang also brightened Mu Can’s eyes. These things, if nothing unexpected happened, should all be Donghuang’s backup plans, and it was very likely that they were prepared specifically for Mu Can. But now, this powerful enemy Donghuang was pushed to this point and had to reveal some of his trump cards to ensure his victory.
This battle lasted for two incense sticks’ worth of time, providing the audience in the stands with a battle that shook heaven and earth.
In the end, Donghuang’s opponent summoned a giant Rock Giant. This was something that only someone who had cultivated an Earth attribute cultivation method to its extreme could do—Transformation through Spiritual Power. Essentially, the Rock Giant he summoned was the same as the Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon summoned by Mu Can; all were created from Spiritual Power. However, the Rock Giant could only be condensed after cultivating an Earth attribute cultivation method to its utmost limit.
It was precisely this Rock Giant that suppressed Donghuang, tilting the battle scale once again towards another Cultivator. Even Mu Can clenched his fists, quietly contemplating. If their positions were switched, what would he do? The result made Mu Can somewhat disheartened. Without using the Reincarnation Pearl, Mu Can could fight on equal grounds with the opponent, dragging the battle into the final tug-of-war with a contest of Spiritual Power. However, because of his own Life Spiritual Power Cultivation Technique, Mu Can would have some advantage, and even if victorious, his body’s Spiritual Energy would be nearly depleted. If he used the Reincarnation Pearl, Mu Can could directly secure victory. With the enhancement of the Reincarnation Battle Armor, even an attack of this strength couldn’t break through Mu Can’s defenses.
However, the situation for Donghuang in the arena was utterly miserable. Faced with the gigantic Rock Giant, although it seemed extremely cumbersome, the Giant’s speed and power were terrifyingly high. Donghuang could only keep dodging, because he did not want to waste too much energy on the Rock Giant. After all, this was just a being transformed from Spiritual Power, completely devoid of life. Even if Donghuang shattered one, the opponent might casually summon two more.
"You’ve angered me," Donghuang’s expression changed as if he had made a certain decision.
In the next moment, Donghuang soared into the sky, radiating massive rays of light from his body, appearing like the sun had risen in the sky.
And the very next moment, that Cultivator in the arena unexpectedly vanished. Only Mu Can noticed that in the blink of an eye, a stream of light had teleported that Cultivator away.
This meant that Donghuang’s move just now could have already directly defeated the opponent.
Despite the arduous process, the final victor was Donghuang.
