Xu Yi's brows lifted, and his long arm shot out like lightning.
Boom!
The entire sea erupted. Lu Huo shot backward like an arrow, while Xu Yi stumbled back more than a dozen steps.
"Impossible!"
Lu Huo cried out in shock. "Again!"
He could hardly believe his eyes. His true form was a Golden Dragon-Horned Python, already cultivated to maturity. His strength was enough to topple mountains with a single twist.
Even in human form, when he couldn't bring his full strength to bear, few demonic beasts in the world could match his might, much less a human.
Before his shout had faded, Lu Huo and Xu Yi were already locked in combat. Neither used magic power; they fought like savage beasts, every punch landing with bone-crushing force. Their fierce blows and bursting shockwaves churned the sea into a succession of tornadoes.
Boom!
After another violent exchange, Lu Huo and Xu Yi separated once more. Lu Huo was panting heavily, while Xu Yi remained calm and composed.
Lu Huo waved his hands again and again. "I must've been full and bored to challenge you to a contest of strength. Every beast core you've refined has added a savage, domineering force to your body. With your physical strength and sheer power now, you might as well be a primordial beast."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and made no attempt to be modest.
He knew his own condition best. He hadn't even used his full strength when he fought Lu Huo just now. At this moment, a fierce, overbearing power lay coiled within him, making him arrogantly feel that even if a primordial beast stood before him, he could beat it to death with his bare hands.
"All right. In terms of strength, unless I reveal my true form, I can't beat you.
