"So arrogant."

"But if it's the Blood Kill Tower, they indeed have that capability."

"Our sect's secret technique requires a demon pill from demon beasts residing in the Mist Forest. We suffer heavy casualties every time we obtain it. I wonder how much the Blood Kill Tower charges..."

Although no one knew Qi Yuan, the reputation of the Blood Kill Tower reaching the Ancient Country already says something.

The transforming Blood Kill Tower... going to face the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect?

Many people are paying great attention to the outcome of this battle.

In response to Qi Yuan's words, Lin Jing shook his head, "You are not just lucky; you should think about whether the Blood Kill Tower has offended the Celestial Secret Tower somewhere, so you met me this early."

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect from Qingzhou was just like you back then, and they ended up being so easily defeated."

"The first round of the Tianjiao competition is randomly selected, and whoever you face is part of your luck, which is also a component of strength. The second round is grouped based on first-round performance for arena melee." Celestial Regret Flower glanced at Lin Jing, hinting at him not to talk nonsense.

This round somewhat tests the fortunes of the geniuses. If you encounter a strong enemy right away and are eliminated without showing your strength, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

By the time the second round comes, it is divided into multiple groups, with many people entering the same arena, and multiple Tianjiaos battling in melee, offering the Tianjiaos more opportunities to showcase their talents. Solo combat cannot demonstrate all of a Tianjiao's ability, courage, and wisdom, whereas those who survive from each arena's melee enter the third round!

"Then let's see whose fortunes run short."

"Call out your pet beast." Qi Yuan glanced at Lin Jing. He could sense that Lin Jing was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage and hadn't broken through to Foundation Establishment. However, he also knew that a Beast Master's main combat strength lay in their pet beast. The Tianjiao list clearly stated that this person had a Foundation Establishment pet beast.

Qi Yuan could see it, and other Tianjiaos and spectators could naturally see it too. The mana within Lin Jing's body was still in the True Qi state, not True Essence. People were puzzled as to why Lin Jing remained at the Qi Cultivation Stage when participating in the Tianjiao competition.

Since you've reached the peak of Qi Cultivation, you have the full capacity to break through to Foundation Establishment, gain more strength, and then participate in the Tianjiao competition.

"To deal with you, I don't need a pet beast." Lin Jing continued to shake his head.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, a short sword slowly appeared in Qi Yuan's hand. Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, this Blood Kill Tower assassin vanished, as if completely disappearing from the arena. Even some Golden Core masters couldn't track his whereabouts.

"Space Concealment Technique!"

"This Blood Kill Tower Tianjiao has actually mastered space magic during the Foundation Establishment Stage!" Many found it unbelievable.

"Does he have a space-related special constitution, or is his comprehension astonishing?"

"No wonder the Blood Kill Tower's ferocity can spread throughout Qingzhou... Space magic, who can defend against that?"

After Qi Yuan demonstrated the Space Concealment Technique, the forefront Tianjiaos of the Ancient Country frowned. Space attributes make everyone feel troubled.

"Is Lin Jing still not summoning his pet beast? Facing an opponent who conceals his tracks, having an extra helper means having more chances to counteract! Does he really intend to confront a full Foundation Establishment with just a Qi Cultivation Stage? Even if he is at the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation, it's still impossible." Yan Xiangbei of the Immortal Burning Valley spoke but sensed that Lin Jing was not an arrogant person.

"Space magic?" Academy students, whose storage bags were snatched by the Pine Needle Mouse, turned dark-faced, recalling some bad memories. They didn't believe Lin Jing would find space magic troublesome. If the Celestial Secret Tower hadn't registered Lin Jing's pet beast abilities, otherwise the spectators would know that space magic wasn't anything special for Lin Jing.

Indeed.

Faced with this Space Concealment Technique, Lin Jing's gaze continuously flowed, nonchalant. Having undergone numerous spatial movements, his perception of spatial fluctuations far surpassed ordinary cultivators. With a single hand, he summoned a red flying leaf, controlling it with his qi, and thunderously executed the Pine Needle Mouse's Flying Leaf Technique.

Whoosh!

A flash of red light, incredibly fast. In the next instant, spectators still searching for traces of Qi Yuan only saw streams of blood spraying out. As the red leaf passed, Qi Yuan's figure slowly emerged, one arm already cut, looking at Lin Jing in disbelief.

"You could actually sense my location."

Lin Jing said, "I give you the chance to use all your strength."

He entered the Tianjiao competition for prestige. If the opponent was too weak, it would be a meaningless battle. Lin Jing hoped the opponent would show stronger strength before being defeated by him.

If the opponent was too weak... he could only, like this, as a Beast Master yet without deploying a pet beast, stir up matters to gain attention.

Lin Jing, clad in pure white, with hands behind his back, exuded an immortal aura, seemingly disregarding this Blood Kill Tower Tianjiao.

"All out———"

"Then please, make sure you don't die; I don't want to be eliminated." Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of blood, his space magic disrupted, indeed surprising him. However, this victory must be his. His blood-red hair floated upwards, Qi Yuan's eyes turned completely red, and a terrifying killing aura engulfed behind him, forming a scarlet storm.

Within the horrific killing aura, it seemed like thousands of spirits wanted to emerge, some humans, some beasts. Seeing this spectacle, many spectators felt physically uncomfortable, and some low-cultivation cultivators turned pale. How many beings needed to be slain to accumulate such killing aura.

"Blood Fiend Armor!" The endless killing intent condensed, forming a layer of blood-red armor on Qi Yuan's body. His short blade spun in his hand, charging towards Lin Jing with explosive speed. His killing aura's intensity multiplied, causing even some Golden Core cultivators to undergo drastic changes in expression.

"It's a secret technique that enhances killing aura."

Though Qi Yuan's own mana hadn't increased much, under such a secret technique, the killing aura underwent a qualitative change, strongly affecting even Golden Core cultivators. If the cultivation were a bit lower, directly facing Qi Yuan, they might be scared motionless by the killing aura.

"A demonic path."

However, faced with this scene, what shocked the onlookers more was that Lin Jing was completely unaffected. Moreover, a special glow emanated from him, actively absorbing the overwhelming killing aura.

"I, Lin Jing, have always detested you demonic paths. How is your killing aura secret technique different from demonic arts?" When Lin Jing spoke, karmic virtue deepened, unparalleled Buddhist light surged from him, dissipating the killing aura, making Qi Yuan's expression change and astonishing the spectators collectively!

Buddhist Technique?

You must be joking!

How could a Beast Master possess such a powerful Buddhist Technique!

But this wasn't the most shocking part. The most shocking was the cultivation Lin Jing displayed.

"Qi Cultivation Level Twelve? You're not at Qi Cultivation Level Eleven!!!" Qi Yuan exclaimed in horror as he flew.

This person actually reached the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation!

The power of this level was comparable to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, not far from his level, no wonder the opposite party...

Inside Lin Jing, the Buddha-Demon Pearl operated, intertwining Buddhist nature and True Qi. Behind Lin Jing, twelve layers of Buddha light appeared, stunning the entire venue. Under the power of the Buddha-Demon Pearl, in an instant, Qi Yuan's killing aura was sealed.

The reason he said there was no need for a pet beast to deal with this person was that he sensed the opponent's power source, all derived from killing aura. Coincidentally, for the past two years, Lin Jing has been studying Buddhist Techniques to enhance his own strength. Be it the Buddha-Demon Pearl or the Vajra Fist, they were supreme moves to restrain killing aura.

Buzz!

With a gentle lift of his hand, eighteen Vajra Palm Seals filled the sky, slamming towards the approaching Qi Yuan. One seal, two seals... Qi Yuan managed to slash through several with his short sword, but ultimately, due to being restrained, he was sent flying dozens of meters away by the Vajra Fist Palm. The blood armor on him shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

On the arena, Lin Jing clasped his hands: "I hope you find the right path sooner and commit less slaughter."

In the audience, Gao Sheng and Bai Yuran, who knew of Lin Jing's demonic arts: ???

The outcome of this battle once again exceeded everyone's expectations; no one thought that Lin Jing, the head of the Beast Taming Sect...

wouldn't use Beast Taming magic but instead showcased such a powerful Buddhist Technique.

But the most important thing is...

"Qi Cultivation Level Twelve." Many Tianjiaos stood up. Earlier, many people temporarily disregarded Lin Jing's importance because he hadn't broken through to Foundation Establishment. But at this moment, they looked at Lin Jing with grave expressions...

Currently, according to records in the Cultivation Realm, only the Prince Gu reached the thirteenth level of Qi Cultivation due to the Treasure Beast, the Breaking Boundary Bird. This meant that the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation was the highest level achievable in the Qi Cultivation Stage apart from Prince Gu throughout history.

Such a level, these Tianjiaos never expected it to appear in a Beast Master. They themselves haven't even reached Qi Cultivation Level Twelve.

"Could it be related to that Buddhist Technique?"

"Such powerful Buddhist Techniques must have been blessed by a strong Buddhist teacher!"

"Uncertain... However, I heard that the stronger the karmic virtue, the stronger the Buddhist nature. This Lin Saint Heir, with such Buddhist power, must routinely do much good, slaying demons and evil. Many had boasted about this Lin Saint Heir, and I was somewhat averse, but now it seems he is indeed a Tianjiao, worthy of the name. It's too unjust for the Beast Taming Sect to be condemned. With a Saint Heir like this, how is it a demonic sect?"

Spectators sighed.

Gao Sheng next to them was startled into confusion. No, what if he later uses more egregious demonic arts than the Blood Kill Tower, what will you do then!
