"Beast, take my sword!"

Watching the Tyrannosaurus Rex slaughter everything in its path, Ye Shuanghen gritted his teeth and unleashed his full strength. He split into nine afterimages that attacked from all directions, using Sword Rises Flowing Cloud to strike simultaneously at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes, joints, throat, shattered scales, and other weak points.

"Pfft!"

In the end, the nine afterimages merged into one, stabbing the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the throat. Yet the blade penetrated only about an inch before getting stuck.

That bit of damage had not even fully pierced its hide. To the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it was little more than a scratch.

"Not good!"

Ye Shuanghen's heart skipped a beat. He immediately tried to abandon his sword and flee, but it was already too late.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, enraged by the pain, burst forth with unimaginable speed and swallowed him in a single bite. It even made a swallowing motion before hesitating slightly and flinging Ye Shuanghen away.

In an instant, Ye Shuanghen and his sword were blasted dozens of yards away, deeply embedded in the cliff wall of the valley.

"What speed. Its Life Level must be at least 7.3."

Chu Kuang murmured as he watched, gaining a sufficient understanding of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's strength.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was famed for its strength and defense, not its speed. Yet it could still suppress Ye Shuanghen, who specialized in agility. This showed that its Life Level was at least half a level higher than Ye Shuanghen's.

Before an absolute gap in Life Level, Ye Shuanghen's speed had been of little use.

Had it not been for the chip implanted in the Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose rules made it give up on eating Ye Shuanghen, he would likely have been swallowed whole.

Even so, the system judged Ye Shuanghen to have lost his combat capability.

"Is fighting above one's level truly impossible?"

Chu Kuang muttered inwardly, his expression growing incomparably grave.

The difference between Ye Shuanghen and the Tyrannosaurus Rex was only half a level, yet he had still been utterly crushed. It was clear that the gap brought by Life Level was a chasm nearly impossible to cross.

"Roar—"

At that moment, roars rang out through the valley. With Zhao Wu and Ye Shuanghen, the two great experts, losing their combat capability, the valley had become a one-sided slaughter.

Some fled in all directions, escaping the battlefield in boundless terror.

Others chose to face the fear in their hearts. Relying on their battle armor for protection, they charged forward, hoping to inflict even the slightest damage on the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But before the Tyrannosaurus Rex, everything was like moths flying into a flame.

With every sweep of its tail, clusters of students were sent flying. With every stomp, students were crushed straight into the earth.

A group of students with an average Life Level below six could not even inflict the slightest damage upon its scales.

"There's no suspense anymore."

Large numbers of people scattered and fled, flowing toward the valley entrance like a tide.

At that moment, a figure clad in pitch-black battle armor and holding a war spear walked upstream against the fleeing crowd, alone heading into the valley.

Lin Shuyao was also retreating with the crowd, and she noticed that upright figure at once.

"It's him!"

Lin Shuyao froze for a moment. By the time she came back to herself, Chu Kuang had already passed by her.

The crowd stopped only after fleeing beyond the Tyrannosaurus Rex's hunting range. They all looked at Chu Kuang, who was walking alone into the valley, their faces filled with surprise.

"What is he doing?"

"My younger brother is relying on his battle armor to protect him. He wants to experience the Tyrannosaurus Rex's strength for himself."

Seeing this, Chu Linfeng immediately sneered. "Since he wants to die gloriously, let's see how many moves he can withstand from the Tyrannosaurus Rex."

The group discussed it heatedly, then all climbed to the mountaintop to watch.

"How many moves do you think he can take?"

"I heard he defeated Xiong Haikuo. With that kind of strength, he can probably withstand three moves, right?"

"You think too highly of him. Even if his strength rivals Ye Shuanghen's, he's far too slow. He can't possibly evade the Tyrannosaurus Rex's attacks. He'll probably be killed in one strike within two moves at most."

As everyone discussed, Chu Kuang had already stepped into the valley. His eyes calmly settled on the Tyrannosaurus Rex before him.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex raised its head to look at Chu Kuang. Its lantern-like eyes shone brilliantly, and boundless baleful aura rushed straight toward him.

Chu Kuang continued forward calmly, the protective energy around him blocking the pressure.

With the mighty internal force that united inside and outside, bolstered by the mighty internal force of the perfected Iron Bell Shield, even the Tyrannosaurus Rex's overwhelming baleful aura felt like nothing more than a breeze brushing his face.

At that instant, the giant dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, revealing wariness for the first time.

It had sensed Chu Kuang's vigorous life force and knew that he was an opponent not to be underestimated.

But that wariness lasted only an instant. As the king of dragonkind, even though it was merely a cloned Bio-Beast, the Tyrannosaurus Rex still possessed an extraordinary bearing that looked down upon all beneath heaven.

It strode forward, calmly pacing before Chu Kuang, then suddenly raised one foot and stomped heavily upon the ground.

"Boom—"

In an instant, cracks violently spread across the ground. The earth beneath Chu Kuang's feet suddenly split apart, and an invisible force surged up from within the soil, making him feel as if heaven and earth were shaking, as though he stood atop stormy waves.

At that very moment, the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly accelerated into a charge. Its massive body was as fast as lightning, rushing toward Chu Kuang with unmatched power, intending to catch him off guard while he had yet to steady himself.

"Just in time."

As the giant dragon charged at him, a sharp light bloomed in Chu Kuang's eyes.

In an instant, a bell chime rang out. Mighty internal force surged from Chu Kuang's body, calming the fluctuating ground beneath his feet.

Then he took a fierce step forward. The war spear in his hand erupted with a blade aura over ten feet long, transforming into an energy blade that cleaved toward the giant dragon.

Yet the giant dragon neither dodged nor evaded. The strike landed on the scaled armor of its skull, leaving only a white mark.

"What a formidable physique."

After that probing strike, Chu Kuang frowned slightly and shifted aside.

Almost at the same time, the charging Tyrannosaurus Rex swept past him. Its iron-pillar-like tail lashed sideways, bearing the force to suppress everything as it came crashing down upon Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang raised his weapon to block, yet he was still blasted back more than ten yards. His feet carved a deep trench into the earth.

"Even with the boosts from my traits, my strength is still inferior to its."

In that brief exchange, Chu Kuang had already figured out the other side's capabilities.

This Tyrannosaurus Rex possessed astonishing strength and physique. Even at Life Level 7.3, it was considered above average. Its only weakness was its somewhat lacking speed, while its agility ranked at the bottom among those of the same level.

After all, its massive physique doomed it to have extremely poor compatibility with the path of agility.

"Boom—"

Just as Chu Kuang was testing its strength, the Tyrannosaurus Rex charged again, its gaping bloody maw tearing toward him.

Chu Kuang had no intention of meeting it head-on. Instead, he unleashed the Blood Battle in All Directions movement technique, evading the attack at an unbelievable angle. He circled to the Tyrannosaurus Rex's side, and the broad blade of his war spear stabbed with full force at its joint!

"Clang—"
