Chapter 109 The Genius of the Immortal Cultivation World 16
Dongfang Yi slowly stood up, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said to everyone: "Everyone, wait for my good news!" After that, he strode towards the arena and began to draw lots.
He had drawn the Vajra Sect. This competition consisted of fifteen teams, arranged on five stages. To allow the audience to fully appreciate the exciting duels of all the competitors, a viewing conch was deployed. The conch projected a massive light screen into the air, clearly displaying the battle scenes of all the competitors. Dongfang Yi was assigned to the third round, and at that moment, he was raptly watching the fierce battles of the competitors ahead from the preparation area.
When the competition began, the five teams of contestants on the five arenas summoned their contracted beasts almost simultaneously. For a moment, the arena was filled with shimmering light and fluctuating energy.
On a competition stage, a contestant in a blue robe formed hand seals with his hands, muttering something. A brilliant light flashed, and then a majestic flaming lion appeared before everyone. Its fur resembled burning flames, and its eyes pierced with a powerful aura, emitting a powerful pressure.
Elsewhere on the competition stage, a woman in white gently waved a jade ruyi in her hand. A soft light shone down, and a lovely, nimble white fox quietly emerged. Its eyes shone like gemstones, and its tail gently swayed. Each team's contracted beast had its own unique characteristics, ranging from fierce and majestic to adorable and charming. Their appearance instantly filled the arena with a tense and exciting atmosphere.
This was the first time Dongfang Yi witnessed such a scene. A warm current deep in his heart surged in his chest, and his desire to fight became more and more passionate.
Time slipped by quietly, as group after group of contracted beasts fell in the fierce battle. The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly tense and solemn, and the audience's emotions fluctuated with the progress of the battle. With the last contracted beast of the second group falling, the third group was about to take the stage.
Dongfang Yi strode onto the arena with his head held high, his posture as straight as a pine tree. He and his opponent locked gazes, sparks flying as their eyes met. Then, almost simultaneously, they both unleashed their spells to summon their contracted beasts.
Instantly, a flash of light appeared, and the opponent's contracted beast took the stage. It was a majestic, Level 3 Stone Baboon, its massive body like a small mountain, emanating a powerful aura. Its fur was rough and hard, like rock, and its limbs were thick and powerful. Every step it took caused the arena to tremble slightly. As soon as the Stone Baboon appeared, it roared to the heavens, shaking the surrounding area and displaying its immense power.
However, when Dongfang Yi's contracted beast appeared, his opponent was stunned for a moment, and the audience outside the arena seemed to be cast under a spell, standing still for a few seconds. Then, the entire arena erupted in roaring laughter.
"Hahahaha! What is this? A kitten?" A burly man laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, and the fat on his face was shaking.
"This is too funny! Why would Tianjing Sect send such a little guy to compete? Isn't this just for fun?" The big man's laughter was very contagious, and the people around him also laughed.
A scholar-like figure nearby waved a fan, his face filled with disdain. "What kind of fighting power can this little kitty have? I'm afraid it was frightened the moment it entered the arena. Even though I'm well-read, I've never seen anything so absurd. The Tianjing Sect's actions are truly laughable."
A young woman covered her mouth and giggled: "Oh, what a cute little kitten. But it's really worrying to be in this arena. What if the kitten gets hurt?" The woman's words were echoed by some people around her.
"This is pure nonsense!" An old man fumed, puffing his beard and glaring. "How can you let a little kitty mess up something as serious as a martial arts competition?"
Everyone was talking at once, and the arena instantly turned into a sea of noise. Questions, ridicule, and sighs intertwined, and the sound seemed to break through the sky. Some people laughed so hard that tears came out, while others shook their heads and sighed, as if they had already foreseen the outcome of the game. Dongfang Yi and his little cat contracted beast seemed particularly insignificant in this tide of laughter. But Dongfang Yi remained calm. He lowered his head and said to Xiaobai, "They are laughing at you. Go and hit them in the face!"
The small white figure, Xiaobai, walked gracefully towards the center of the arena. Just as everyone was still immersed in their doubts and ridicule, Xiaobai suddenly stopped and raised his head slightly.
Then, a tiger roar suddenly rang out. It erupted with a shocking force. The roars cascaded, spreading outward like surging waves. The sound was so resonant and penetrating, it seemed to pierce the clouds and reach the heavens.
The clamor in the auditorium instantly vanished amidst the deafening roar of the tiger. People were stunned by the sudden and powerful sound, their mouths wide open, yet no sound emanated. Some wore expressions of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe such a powerful sound could emanate from such a tiny body.
At that moment, the once majestic and indomitable Stone Baboon began to slowly retreat. Its massive body trembled slightly, and its once domineering eyes were now filled with fear. Its master, keenly aware of the contracted beast's unusual emotions, instantly fixed his gaze on the white cat, filled with astonishment and confusion. What on earth was that thing? His contracted beast had been with him through countless battles, and never before had it shown such fear.
The Beastmaster, sitting far away in the audience, felt an inexplicable surge of emotion upon hearing the tiger's roar. The moment his gaze fell on Xiaobai, something suddenly occurred to him, and he abruptly stood up. His finger trembled as he pointed in Xiaobai's direction, his voice trembling with excitement. "That's the White Tiger! It's the bloodline of the White Tiger, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts!"
The moment these words were spoken, the audience erupted in an uproar. "What? That little white cat is actually a white tiger!" A young warrior's eyes widened in disbelief. He examined Xiaobai closely, seeing that its tiny form exuded an indescribable majesty. Xiaobai's fur was as white as snow, gleaming with a mysterious light in the sunlight. Its eyes were like two brilliant sapphires, revealing a deep and piercing gaze.
"Isn't that the legendary beast? How did it appear here?" A nearby old man was also stunned, his hand stroking his beard still. He recalled the ancient records of the white tiger, which was said to be the beast of war, possessing immense power and majesty. Its roar could shake heaven and earth, and its presence could intimidate enemies. Now, the little white cat before him, though seemingly fragile, had no doubt that its tiger roar and the stone baboon's fearful reaction convinced him that it was of the white tiger's bloodline.
"He is the leader of the Beast Taming Sect, how could he be wrong?"
"The leader of the Beast Taming Sect is knowledgeable and his understanding of various mythical beasts far exceeds ours. Since he said it was a white tiger, it must be right." Everyone nodded in agreement, and their eyes focused on Xiaobai again, full of awe and curiosity.
"The tiger's roar just now convinced me it was really a white tiger. I was so scared," a timid woman patted her chest, her face still pale. She seemed to still feel the shock of the tiger's roar, her heart filled with fear and amazement.
"Look at that Stone Baboon! It's trembling! What else could it be but a white tiger?" Everyone's gaze once again focused on the Stone Baboon on the arena. It continued to tremble, as if facing an invincible force. The Stone Baboon's fear wasn't just due to the tiger's roar, but also because it sensed an innate sense of majesty and oppression from Xiaobai. This sense of oppression told it instinctively that the opponent before it was no match for it.
