Chapter 76: A Rare Physique Seen Only Once in a Century, Kijin Appears

  Ling Xiao slammed his fist on the table next to him, shattering the tea bowls into pieces. He had won, and it was an undefeated three-game winning streak! There was no doubt that this match would bring him a handsome profit. Even if he hadn't achieved his goal of getting rid of Sang Xiao and the others, at least two of them had suffered serious injuries and wouldn't be able to participate in the next match. Considering they still seemed to have some value to exploit, he wasn't in a hurry to eliminate them just yet.

  At almost the same time, Qian Huan Gongzi, who was sitting far away on the opposite side of Ling Xiao, also slammed his fist on the table. However, the emotions of the two were clearly worlds apart. One had won three consecutive games and was in high spirits with a spring breeze on his face, while the other had lost three generals and had an ashen face. Especially since Jiu Wu Shuang, who had always been considered one of Qian Huan's secret weapons, had also died miserably on the battlefield. This outcome really made Qian Huan Gongzi, who had originally been full of confidence, hard to accept.

  Apart from the two ranch owners who participated in the fight, the other dignitaries who had placed bets also had different expressions. Those who won were loudly boasting and praising their own foresight with flying colors, while those who lost hung their heads in despair, looking like defeated roosters, constantly drinking tea to cover up the loss on their faces.

  This is the arena, where only here, the wealthy who usually squander money will be happy or sad for a little gain or loss, only here, their gradually numb nerves can get a little stimulation, and only here, they can enjoy the pleasure that cannot be obtained elsewhere.

  The person in charge, who was standing in the center of the arena with a smile, waited until the noisy stands had quieted down a bit before speaking again: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's trial has come to an end. Tomorrow's beast fight will be even more exciting. In order to satisfy everyone's demands, we have specially purchased a half-grown fifth-tier soul beast from a beast catcher at a high price. Although it is only half-grown, its power is already enough to rival that of a Soul Servant-level strongman. According to what I know, the ranch owner of Blood Refining Hell, Mr. Ling Xiao, happens to be a first-level Soul Servant, right?" The person in charge said, looking towards Ling Xiao's direction.

  Ling Xiao hastily stood up and nodded towards the person in charge, he was very clear about the terrifying power behind the Blood Refining Tower. Even if he was the actual master of Xiancheng City, he didn't dare to show any disrespect to the people of the Blood Refining Tower. The person in charge had spoken correctly, Ling Xiao was indeed a Soul Servant-level soul cultivator. In fact, He Lianuo was also a Soul Servant-level, but the difference between them lay in that Ling Xiao was an eighth-stage Soul Servant, while He Lianuo was only a fifth-stage. Although it was only a three-stage difference, there was already a significant gap in their actual strength.

  Gongsun Jian once said that entering the Soul Servant level is truly stepping into the ranks of third-rate strongmen. Although it's only third-rate, most high-level soul masters either study in some academies or hide in seclusion, rarely traveling on the mainland, so ordinary people almost never see the true face of high-level soul masters. The "soul world" mentioned by soul masters is not another world, but rather a place where soul masters are more concentrated. Although Xingchen City has developed economically, it's still too remote, and Soul Servant-level soul masters here are already considered strongmen in general.

  The person in charge nodded and gestured for Ling Xiang to sit down, clearing his throat before continuing: "Although our Fallen Star City is one of the cities closest to the Demon Moon Forest in the Giant Tree Empire, since most high-level soul beasts are transported to major cities, fifth-grade soul beasts are extremely rare in our arena. Don't miss tomorrow's show!"

  Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of countless wealthy people in the stands, the person in charge knew that he had already successfully piqued their curiosity. All that needed to be done tomorrow was to prepare enough manpower to count the money!

  Next, the soldiers naturally took the people from the Blood Refining Hell and the Ghost Refining Hell back to their residences. Lei Shuo, who was severely injured and unconscious, was carefully carried by two strong men, while Sang Xiao followed closely behind, taking good care of him. Before long, they returned to the Blood Refining Hell, where everyone gathered around to place Lei Shuo on the bed. Luo Tian ordered someone to bring the best medicine to apply to Lei Shuo's wounds, and after a while, Lei Shuo's complexion slowly began to improve.

  Xiao, who had just let out a sigh of relief after working up a sweat, was about to return to her own bed to rest when the gate of Blood Refining Hell creaked open and two black-clad men carrying someone slowly walked in.

  "It's He Lian!", sharp-eyed Sang Xiao excitedly discovered that the black-clothed man was carrying none other than He Lianuo, who had fainted halfway and been rescued. As if he had forgotten his fatigue in an instant, he ran over to him with quick steps. Luo Tian, who had been worried for half a day, was even more excited, directly going forward and almost snatching He Lianuo from the black-clothed man's hands!

  Everyone helped He Lianuo lean against the bed, Luo Tian carefully checked his body and found that all the injured parts had been well applied with medicine and bandaged. Only then did he feel at ease, and asked the familiar nurse for two bowls of hot soup, one bowl was fed to Lei Shuo by Sang Xiao, and the other bowl was personally fed to He Lianuo by himself.

  He Lianuo subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed the hot soup that Luo Tian had brought to his lips. After half a bowl of hot soup went down, his eyes slowly opened, and he saw that it was Luo Tian supporting him. He Lianuo smiled in relief, his voice hoarse as he asked: "Luo...Luo Boss, after I left, who won the third round?"

  "It was Lei Shuo, I originally wanted to choose a strong brother from the Blood Refining Hell's old men, but Ling Xiao passed down an order that the candidate for the third trial must be chosen from among you newcomers. Later, seeing my difficulty, Lei Shuo volunteered to go on stage." Luo Tian lightly sighed and scooped up a spoonful of hot soup to feed He Lian Nuo.

  "Lei Shuo, how can it be Lei Shuo? He's still recovering from his serious injury! What about the outcome of the trial? Did anything happen to Lei Shuo?" Helian Nuo didn't even have time to drink his soup, he struggled to sit up straight and looked around for Helian Nuo's figure.

  Luo Tian smiled and gently pressed He Lian Nuo onto the pillow, pointing to his own independent room and saying: "You can rest assured, Lei Shuo is much more formidable than you think. Although his opponent was extremely powerful, he still won in the end. Now he's resting in my room, but...but some strange changes have appeared on Lei Shuo's body..."

  "What change? What's going on?" Seeing Luo Tian's hesitant expression, He Lianuo's heart, which had just calmed down, was raised again. He really didn't want to see his brother make any mistakes, and he would protect Lei Shuo at all costs!

  Seeing Helian's anxious look, Luotian put down the bowl of soup and detailed everything that had happened at the time to him. Although it had been a while since the incident, when he mentioned Leishen chopping Giant Wu into minced meat, Luotian still couldn't help but shudder, apparently, the extremely bloody scene had left a shadow in his heart.

  "Silver hair, green eyes... what's going on? What happened to Leishen?" Helianuo was secretly pondering in his heart. He waved his hand, signaling Luotian not to worry about his body anymore. Seeing that Helianuo's complexion had improved a lot, Luotian also put down his worries and instructed several subordinates to pay attention to Helianuo's situation before returning to his own room to help Sangxiao take care of Leishen's injuries.

  He Lian Nuobi was at a loss, and under duress he could only close his eyes, extend his spiritual awareness into the sea of consciousness, and loudly call out to Gong Sun Jian.

  "Didn't you say not to look for me unless it's a matter of life and death? What's going on this time, is there another problem that you can't solve yourself and need to bother me with?" After calling out for a long time, Gong Sunjian's figure finally slowly appeared in his mind. His soul seemed to have condensed even more, probably due to the results of his hard practice during this period.

  Without exchanging pleasantries, He Lianuo directly relayed Luo Tian's account to Gong Sunjian, and after finishing the explanation, he anxiously stared into the latter's eyes, eagerly awaiting an answer.

  "Silver long hair, green eyes, extremely swift and sinister movements, bursting out with a hundred times the strength in an instant... Ah...", Gong Sun raised his hand to rub his forehead, looking like he was racking his brains.

  After a long time, he finally raised his head and helplessly spread out his hands towards Helianuo, saying: "To be honest, I have never seen such a situation as you described, and even in the library of my Gong Sun family, there seems to be no relevant records. What exactly happened to Lei Shuo's body, I also dare not make a conclusion... However..."

  Kelianuo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he knew that Gongsunrang could be said to be the most knowledgeable soul on this continent. If even he didn't know the reason for Leishen's physical changes, then others were even more hopeless.

  Looking at Helian's anxious expression, Gong Sun Jian stopped teasing and explained: "Although our Gong Sun family's library doesn't have any records, I once heard from the elders in my clan that on the You Yue continent, there is a very rare physique. People with this physique may not appear for hundreds of years, but whenever they do, it will cause a sensation. At the time, I thought it was just a rumor, but unexpectedly, this strange physique actually exists..."

  "So, what exactly is this physique? Will people with this physique have some innate defects?" He Lianuo let out a sigh of relief. Since Gong Sun had heard of similar situations like Lei Shuo's, then there was still a glimmer of hope!

  "This physique is called Kijin!", Gong Sunjan closed his eyes, as if thinking about the information related to Kijin in his mind.

  "Kui Ren Ma?", Helianuo repeated the term silently in his heart, obviously, with his experience, this term was completely unfamiliar.
