The Amethyst Winged Lion King Could Not Dodge That Space Slash

"Thank you for your concern, senior, I am fine." Xiao Yan shook his head, though he was anxious inside, he did not show it.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Ruolin seemed to understand something: "Don't push yourself, go back and rest. I won't forget about your one-year leave."

"To get this leave, this child took a hit from my Xuan-tier Dou Technique. It seems that was quite a heavy burden for him."

"Incredible. A Dou Zhe being able to withstand a Xuan-tier Dou Technique from an instructor—even I couldn't have done that back in my day."

Wu Yong felt a bit of emotion. If a Dou Zhe could truly withstand a Xuan-tier Dou Technique unleashed by a Da Dou Shi using his own strength, he was genuinely impressed.

It was just a pity...

Wu Yong seemed to understand why Xiao Yan's face had looked so terrible; was it because that Yao Lao had suddenly gone silent?

But then again, was his own sense of pressure really that intense?

Glancing at the awe-filled gazes of the people around him, Wu Yong bid farewell to Instructor Ruolin and flew away with Little Fairy Doctor.

A thick, invisible barrier had already formed between him and these people.

Watching Wu Yong and Little Fairy Doctor fly into the sky and disappear over the horizon, the atmosphere inside the tent instantly became much more relaxed.

Ruolin looked at the students who had all let out a sigh of relief in unison, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"You lot, Wu Yong is your senior; he won't attack you. There's no need to be so nervous."

"We aren't nervous, it's just that Senior Wu Yong's aura is too oppressive, even if he doesn't mean it to be."

Xiao Yan's complexion had recovered at some point, and his face now carried a look of amazement.

Ruolin blinked, looking at the little guy as she teased, "Then are you still sure about taking that leave? You know, it only took Wu Yong three years to cultivate from a Dou Zhe to a Dou Wang..."

"Three years!?"

Gasps of shock echoed one after another in the tent. They all stared intently at Ruolin, wondering if she was joking.

Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. If he didn't take this leave, he might not even win the Three-Year Agreement, let alone reach the level of a Dou Wang.

"I'm sorry, Instructor Ruolin, but I must take this leave."

"Fine, you troublesome kid. Don't come crying to me if your sweetheart gets snatched away by someone else."

"Heh... I don't think that will happen, he already has one."

Xiao Yan looked at the young girl beside him and smiled sheepishly.

The registration ended, and everyone dispersed.

On the way back, an aged voice echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

"There is no rule on the Dou Qi Continent that says a man can only have one woman, especially for a powerhouse."

"Teacher, why were you like that just now?"

"That boy's soul power is a bit strong. Although that Canaan Academy instructor said he has good character, I didn't want to gamble. It's a pity he has a wind affinity; if he were an Alchemist, I might have been tempted."

"Ah? Teacher, is Wu Yong's soul power really that strong?" Xiao Yan was a bit skeptical. Could Yao Lao be using this method to spur him on?

"...Forget it. No matter how strong his soul power is, he isn't an Alchemist, and I won't be taking him as a disciple."

"Oh, then Teacher, about that Di-tier Dou Technique we discussed... you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"I haven't forgotten. You've brought it up five or six times today."

Magic Beast Mountain Range.

After returning from the registration, Wu Yong sent Little Fairy Doctor back to the medical clinic and headed deep into the Magic Beast Mountain Range himself.

The wind told him that there was a substance here that perfectly met his requirements.

Following the guidance of the wind, Wu Yong arrived at this location.

On the mountain peak, the giant beast radiating purple light all over its body looked over the moment Wu Yong revealed his presence, its massive lion head turning toward him.

"Human? Retreat at once!"

Only a Dou Wang, but this human Dou Wang looked very young and likely came from an extraordinary background. The Amethyst Winged Lion King preferred not to fight such humans if possible.

If it could kill him on the spot, that would be fine, but if it couldn't, it would have a lot of trouble in the future.

Wu Yong roughly estimated the strength of both sides and made a choice in his heart immediately.

He wasn't yet sure what the item he was looking for was, but he was certain it was inside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair.

In this situation, he had no choice but to defeat or kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King to search the place bit by bit.

Therefore, this fight was unavoidable.

Thus, Wu Yong began to provoke it directly.

"What if I don't retreat?"

"Human, are you testing my patience?"

A fierce aura rose from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Its massive body, nearly ten meters long, had already taken to the air, its vicious gaze locked onto the human youth.

It felt as if, in the next moment, it would tear this human to shreds!

"As for the reason, I can't be bothered to tell you; you aren't worthy of hearing it."

The battle blade, untouched for a long time, fell into the hands of Wu Yong. At the same time, countless cyan wind blades surged toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

However, these wind blades, condensed in such a rush, could only leave shallow marks on the layer of purple crystal armor covering the Amethyst Winged Lion King, seemingly unable to break its defense at all.

The remaining wind blades, which came from tricky angles, were also intentionally blocked by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Human, go to hell!"

The next moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly appeared above Wu Yong, its massive beast claw slamming toward his head with a dull sound that compressed the air.

But as the beast claw descended and made contact with Wu Yong for a split second, the Amethyst Winged Lion King realized the sensation was wrong!

"Behind!"

Almost instinctively, the Amethyst Winged Lion King turned its massive body with an agility that completely contradicted its enormous size.

Just as it turned around, however, it did not see Wu Yong's figure.

Looking up, it saw that human high in the sky, extending one hand toward it.

His middle finger and ring finger were slowly spreading apart, and the smile on his face grew increasingly cruel.

"Die, activate!"

Before the words had even faded, the Amethyst Winged Lion King sensed that peculiar fluctuation of power, and an expression of disbelief appeared on its massive lion head.

"This is... the power of space, how is that possible!?"

The patch of space where the Amethyst Winged Lion King stood was like a sheet of white paper, easily sliced open by an invisible pair of scissors.

Along with the giant beast, it was decapitated as well.

This Space Slash came too quickly, leaving the Amethyst Winged Lion King with no time to react; without any power to resist, the lion head was separated from its body.

However, this could hardly be blamed on its lack of preparation; who could have imagined that a Dou Wang could master the power of space to such a degree?

Most Dou Zong powerhouses could not even perform such a feat of utilizing the power of space to launch a Space Slash.

The sliced space had already begun to heal, but the lion head could no longer return to its body.

As the rank six fire-attribute monster core was extracted from its head, the Amethyst Winged Lion King departed this world with a head full of questions.
