A Great Opportunity!
Intense battles could be seen everywhere in the dense forest, one after another, chilling to the bone.
The demonic path is ruthless, with endless schemes and tricks. Everyone here gives their all, unleashing their talents and true nature.
The three—the Drunken Monk, the Knife Demon Guza, and Yan Fei—needless to say, are the top contenders. Besides these three, there are many others who usually keep a low profile, but have surprised everyone in this test.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu's performance was quite remarkable; several people had already fallen to them, either pierced by iron fists or smashed to pieces by sledgehammers.
As their reputation grew, more and more contestants learned of these two formidable individuals and were unwilling to face them.
Both men's fists and hammers were stained with blood, their bodies radiating Sha Qi, their Divine Ability. It was clear at a glance that they were ruthless killers who killed without blinking an eye, driven mad by bloodlust.
The Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline of Man Gu was further intensified. In High Antiquity times, there was constant warfare. As one of the most powerful races at the time, the Ancient Barbarian Tribe were always fighting against their enemies. What flowed in the blood of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe was bloodshed and indomitable spirit... as well as the curse cast by Huang Doudou.
"I've never heard of these two before. Where did they come from? Judging by their strength, they're comparable to the Drunken Monk. Even the Drunken Monk doesn't want to fight them and has been operating in other areas!"
"They probably inherited something from somewhere, or they're a seed secretly cultivated by an elder!"
"I wonder who is better between the two of them." Both inside and outside the arena, people were discussing Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu.
Meng Jingzhou's iron fist was invincible; he smashed a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage with a single punch, and the opponent was a rather famous player.
He is currently in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. As a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect and a direct descendant of the Meng family, he is invincible among his peers once he leaves the Ask Dao Sect.
The words of the sage echoed around Man Gu, and he struck one down with each blow without blinking. The eerie incongruity made him look like a madman.
Finally, the two met, their eyes filled with arrogance, neither willing to submit to the other.
Man Gu raised his greatsword and shouted, "State your name!"
"Meng Jingzhou! Who are you?"
"Man Gu."
Both were men of few words, and without much conversation, they immediately started fighting.
Both of them are top talents in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the most promising contenders. Once they clash, it will be earth-shattering. Trees will be caught in the aftershocks of the battle, snapped in half, and utterly destroyed.
The other contestants watched from a distance, hoping the two would fight to the death so they could reap the benefits.
These two individuals possess extremely high levels of markings; whoever can kill them will obtain their markings.
This is a fortune that would make anyone's heart flutter!
The drunken monk and the sword demon Guza observed from the shadows, secretly alarmed.
"These two are no less of a threat than Yan Fei!"
"They are indeed powerful, but still inferior to me. I still have trump cards to play, and I have already seen through these two."
"I never expected that besides Yan Fei and the Drunken Monk, we would encounter such formidable opponents this time. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here!"
"Perfect timing! The Demon Blade is thirsty. The blood of those useless trash can't satiate it. The blood of these two peerless geniuses is exactly what the Demon Blade loves!"
"Hahaha, what a satisfying battle! It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent worthy of fighting me!" Meng Jingzhou laughed loudly.
Man Gu was equally excited; the Ancient Barbarian Tribe blood within him was boiling and burning.
Another ancient tree fell during their battle. After the tree broke, a Bodhi tree appeared before them.
On the Bodhi tree, three little children sway in the wind. The Bodhi tree has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, and this scene appears very sacred.
Meng Jingzhou was taken aback. "It's actually a Bodhi ginseng fruit tree!?"
"Ginseng fruit?" Man Gu was equally astonished.
With the sacred relic before them, the two unanimously chose to cease hostilities.
"Is this the legendary ginseng fruit tree?" Man Gu skeptical.
Meng Jingzhou nodded. "There's no mistake. Look at these three chubby little babies growing on the tree. Aren't they the legendary ginseng fruit?"
Man Gu then asked, "But how can ginseng fruit grow on a Bodhi tree?"
Meng Jingzhou, with an air of utter ignorance, said, "You don't know this? The reason why ginseng fruit is so rare, and why you can't find a single ginseng fruit tree in the entire world, is because there has never been a ginseng fruit tree!"
"Ginseng fruit is a product born in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth. It only appears on other trees. When a tree gathers the essence of heaven and earth, ginseng fruit will naturally grow."
"Among all trees, the Bodhi tree is the most mystical, with many legends surrounding it, and is the most suitable tree for growing ginseng fruit!"
Man Gu suddenly realized, not expecting there to be this other meaning.
With the ginseng fruit before them, it was a great fortuitous opportunity. There was no need for the two to continue fighting. Even if they each took one, they would still have one to spare.
Originally, no one recognized the ginseng fruit, but after listening to Meng Jingzhou's reasoned analysis, they realized that this was indeed the ginseng fruit.
Remembering what the cult leader said, there is a great fortuitous opportunity in this dense forest.
Could it be referring to these three ginseng fruits?
"Superior!"
The crowd, hidden in the shadows, swarmed in, determined to seize a ginseng fruit!
Dao Mo Guza threw out a hair-like needle. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu noticed the hidden weapon and jumped back to dodge the attack.
The two were now some distance from the ginseng fruit, which gave the others an opportunity to take advantage.
Even with competitors like Meng Jingzhou and the Drunken Monk, they still have to fight for this opportunity.
Once you obtain the ginseng fruit, your path to immortality will be smooth and unobstructed.
It's worth risking your life for!
Dao Mo Guza was the first to grab one; without hesitation, he took it and ran.
"Is this the ginseng fruit? It has a fleshy texture, no wonder it's called the ginseng fruit!"
The group regretted their actions and gave chase, but Dao Mo Guza was faster and, being in a dense forest, soon left them behind.
Only what is refined becomes one's own; adhering to this belief, Dao Mo Guza took a bite.
I couldn't bite it.
"Could it be that the ginseng fruit has a texture like meat, but becomes incredibly hard once you try to eat it?"
Just as he was considering how to consume the ginseng fruit, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Oh no, it's poisonous!"
He looked incredulous; the ginseng fruit had a highly poisonous surface!
Who did this? This is a ginseng fruit! This method of poisoning is an absolute waste!
At this moment, the ginseng fruit spoke up, "Has no one told you not to eat wild fruits by the roadside?"
Amidst the regretful, dying expression on Dao Mo Guza's face, the ginseng fruit stirred its body.
Three-inch-tall Lu Yang stretched, finally able to move around a bit after acting as the Ginseng Fruit for so long.
This is a new skill he learned while being tormented by his senior brothers and sisters from the Ask Dao Sect—first form an inch, then shrink the earth, and circulate the <Tree Planting Technique>.
In this way, three little Lu Yang will grow on the Bodhi tree, and with Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, the two shills, spreading the word, he will transform into a ginseng fruit.
They also coated the body with a layer of potent poison.
Anyone who manages to snatch a ginseng fruit must have considerable cultivation; one poison shot is guaranteed to be effective.
"This guy dares to try and join the demonic path? So easily fooled." Lu Yang shook his head in disgust and killed Guza.
This generation of demonic cultivators is no good; the three righteous cultivators were able to completely fool them.
