Chapter 1340: Chapter 167: Heavenly Arena

The audience was in awe as they saw the arena growing taller by itself.

The originally stationary bamboo tower arena was growing steadily at a speed observable to the naked eye.

Upon closer inspection, it was the bamboo beneath the arena. These bamboos, thought to be built into the bamboo tower, were actually living bamboos rooted deep in the ground.

Once people stepped onto it, the bamboo began to grow spontaneously.

"What is this?" Hu Qianqiu and Chi Zhanfeng did not anticipate that there were hidden secrets beneath the arena.

"Two Clan Leaders, I forgot to mention, these two arenas are not ordinary ones; they are Heavenly Arenas," the Second Elder from the Hei Qilin Tribe spoke leisurely.

The arenas themselves are nothing special, but the bamboo used to build them has quite an origin.

This type of bamboo is called Sky-reaching Bamboo, a very special type of Demon Plant, only growing on the Central Plain of the Hei Qilin Tribe. The Central Plain, thousands of years ago, belonged to the giants.

The Sky-reaching Bamboo there was also cultivated by giants. The bamboo’s toughness is excellent, can be used freely to build houses, and is resistant to water and fire.

But after modification by the Hei Qilin Tribe, the growth of the Sky-reaching Bamboo is even more astonishing. Once the pressure on it exceeds a certain weight, it begins to grow rapidly.

In one day, its height can reach up to a hundred meters.

As soon as the Second Elder finished explaining, there was an uproar throughout the venue, with varying reactions from the Beast Clan members both on and off the stage.

Besides serving as a venue for arena matches, this type of arena has piqued the interest of Lu and Zi, who were previously uninterested in arena competitions, and they took a few more glances at those two arenas.

During the time the Second Elder spoke, the arena had already grown by five or six meters.

In a day reaching a hundred meters, in ten days it won’t just grow a kilometer high. At a height of one thousand meters, the Gang Wind is fierce, even for those capable of standing in mid-air, it would be hard to fight gracefully for long periods.

If one accidentally fell, they would likely be smashed to smithereens.

This arrangement by the Hei Qilin Tribe suddenly increased the difficulty and casualty rate of the competition quite a bit.

Both Clan Leaders, upon hearing this, silently cursed the Hei Qilin Tribe for causing trouble around the world. The warriors participating in the competition were all elite members from their clans, losing even one would be a huge loss.

"Luckily, I’m guarding the arena on the first day, otherwise being blown by the Gang Wind at several hundred to thousand meters high for a whole day wouldn’t be pleasant at all," on the arena, Yu Shang and Chi Mugu each thought quietly.

"For the convenience of everyone’s observation, there’s a Magic Array installed on the arena. Everyone can watch the matches on the arena via two Magic Light Screens on the ground. According to the guarding rules, the person whose body first touches the ground loses. Each arena can only challenge up to ten people a day. The arena match officially begins!" As the Second Elder spoke, two waterfall-like Magic Light Screens suddenly appeared at both ends of the square.

The scenes on the arena were indeed clear to see.

The Eight Desolate Clan Competition, the competition representing the true strong ones of the Bahuang continent, had officially begun.

"Miss, I think you’re pretty, how about I defeat you, and you come home with me to be my wife?" A loud laugh was heard as a tall, rough-looking man jumped onto the arena, standing before Yu Shang.

That was a warrior from the Wilderness Pigman Tribe. He must be at least forty or fifty years old but was still shorter than Yu Shang by a head. Once on the arena, the whole arena shook a few times.

The middle-aged warrior, due to his ugly appearance and poor condition, could never find a wife.

Coming to participate in the Eight Desolate Clan Competition today, upon seeing Yu Shang’s beauty, he instantly lost his sense, lusted up, and jumped onto the stage with audacious words.

"Haha, boy, this is the Eight Desolate Clan Competition arena match, not a bridal contest."

"But if you manage to defeat that lady, tie her up, and bring her home, she would become your wife."

"I suggest you ugly fellas keep coming back every day to challenge the arena and take all the female warriors from the Sky Fox Tribe as wives."

Below the arena, the jeers and whistles were constant.

Yu Shang bit her lip, a blush appeared on her face.

This blush was not due to shyness but anger.

"Beautiful lady, don’t be mad, though I’m ugly, I’m gentle. Trust me, I won’t use heavy hands. If I harm you, I’d be heartbroken," the pigman scratched his head, looking lecherous.

"Want to marry me? Let’s see if you’re lucky enough." Yu Shang replied in a cutting manner.

"People from the Pigman Tribe have thick skin and strong Qi Power, Fox Clan Leader, your luck isn’t too good." Chi Zhanfeng mocked on the side.

Hu Qianqiu remains calm, with an indifferent face.

Suddenly, Yu Shang twisted her slender waist, her arm, even more crystal-clear than white jade, shot out like lightning, and suddenly squeezed the pigman’s throat bone with two fingers.

Her attack was clean and neat, without a trace of hesitation. As she crushed the throat bone with her fingers, she slapped at the pigman’s head.

With a loud bang, like fireworks exploding instantly, the pigman’s head burst open, with blood splattering all around.

The pigman’s headless body fell off the arena, staining everyone’s eyes red.

Yu Shang’s move was made and retracted in an instant, with a charming smile on her lips.

"Chi Clan Leader, it seems you were overthinking, never underestimate beautiful women, for the more beautiful they are, the more ruthless they can be." Hu Qianqiu slowly spoke.

Yu Shang’s maneuver left the originally attentive audience all speechless.

The woman who seemed unable to lift a finger had killed a powerful pigman in one fell swoop.

"Those foolish men truly think Yu Shang is as harmless as she appears? The saying ’Bee needle at the end of the tail’ refers to people like Yu Shang," Bo Bo pouted.

"But luckily she’s on our side, switch her to another camp and there’ll be trouble." Lu Yunshuang also felt a chill in his heart.

Yu Shang’s strength seemed to have grown significantly since their time in the Bahuang Mountain Range.

According to Lu Yunshuang, the only one with a cultivation speed close to Yu Shang’s is probably Yun Sheng.

The two of them indeed have heavenly-defying cultivation speeds.

"Yes, at least during the arena matches we won’t face her. But I’ve heard that during the challenge matches, most of the contestants will be eliminated, including those from the same tribe. In the end, only ten can enter the competition, meaning we will ultimately face each other," Yun Sheng analyzed on the side.

Lu Yunshuang fell silent upon hearing this; today’s comrades are tomorrow’s enemies, that’s the Eight Desolate Clan Competition.

A short distance from the square, Dugu Xiu and a guard looked at the arena from afar.

Everyone’s attention was on the arena, but Dugu Xiu’s gaze was fixed on a graceful figure below the arena.

"Let’s go." Since it’s not Yun Sheng’s arena match, he had no interest in watching.
