To say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie.
If he could confirm that this Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King possessed the Ultimate Fire attribute, he could have told the elders of the Offering Hall to stop searching; all it would take was a little negotiation with Shrek Academy.
But now, he could only trouble the elders to continue their search.
As the steam and dust dispersed, the form of the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King was suddenly exposed to everyone's sight.
Despite taking a punch from Yang Jian head-on, the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King hadn't suffered any fatal injuries; at most, its aura had withered slightly, and the rage in its eyes burned even brighter.
In its heart, Yang Jian's cultivation was no different from an ant.
Yet, it had actually been struck by such an ant!
Unforgivable!
A streak of scorching red light suddenly surged from the Flame Lion King, and intense flames began to spread outward with the beast at the center, instantly enveloping Yang Jian's figure.
The innate domain awakened by the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King after its mutation: Fire Spirit Domain!
"This is impossible!"
Gong Changlong hadn't even warmed his seat before he stood up again, the expression on his face turning incredibly ugly.
He had been looking after this Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King for twenty full years, and in those twenty years, it had never once displayed the power of a domain!
Like humans, soul beasts generally only awaken a domain when their cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years; only some powerful soul beast species or mutated soul beasts can possess domain-type skills from birth.
In other words, soul beasts with domains are just as extremely rare as soul masters with domains.
Gong Changlong never dreamed that in the Beast Enclosure he had managed for so long, there would be a soul beast that possessed a domain.
The most critical part was that it had never revealed this power.
This was a serious dereliction of duty on his part! And the price... would very likely be a genius student with heaven-defying talent!
A forty-thousand-year Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King without a domain and one with a domain were two absolutely different concepts!
Damn it!
Gong Changlong gritted his teeth, preparing to force his way into the Beast Fighting Arena to end the battle, but to his surprise, a slightly dim silver-gray halo spread out from the bodies of Yang Jian and Little White.
This is... a domain!?
Yang Jian also possesses a domain?
Gong Changlong's expression shifted several times, but in the end, he chose not to forcibly interfere in the battle.
A domain, huh?
Yang Jian looked up at the surrounding crimson flames, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
This was the first time he had encountered a soul beast with a domain.
However... although I don't have Blue Silver Grass, I, myself, am also immune to fire~
The Chaos Domain suddenly expanded, and the burning sensation in the air instantly weakened significantly—because Yang Jian had not yet absorbed a soul ring of Ultimate Fire, the Chaos Domain could not completely nullify the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King's domain, but being able to weaken the influence of these flames was enough.
The Chaos Domain acted like an outer veil, draped hazily over the Fire Spirit Domain; the two did not collide, but rather engaged in a simple, brutal, and extreme suppression.
The remaining flames had an effect on Yang Jian that could only be described as negligible.
The next instant, Yang Jian's figure flashed, appearing once again in front of the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King.
Both pairs of the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King's eyes revealed the same look of astonishment.
It could not understand why this weak human was unaffected within its domain; the scene it had envisioned—of Yang Jian being scorched, in pain, and wailing—had not occurred at all.
Everything had exceeded its expectations.
It only knew that this human had appeared before it again, and was once more raising his fist.
This time, there was a sense of heaviness to it.
The Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King did not hesitate, immediately unleashing the second innate skill it had gained after its mutation.
Lion Aura Protection!
The thick mane, flickering with flames, seemed to grow significantly in an instant, wrapping its entire body within it—relying on this innate soul skill, it held the status of an overlord even within the Beast Enclosure. Even other ten-thousand-year soul beasts would dodge when they saw it.
But after Yang Jian's punch landed, the look in the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King's eyes changed abruptly once more.
This time, it couldn't even cry out.
Why did this damn human's punch hurt so much!?
It couldn't understand, and it couldn't cry out; it could only passively endure this heavy, powerful punch.
And in Yang Jian's eyes, a trace of surprise emerged.
Is this Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King a turtle? This punch couldn't even break its defense?
His right fist was repelled by the recoil; a normal person would be in a state where the old force was spent and the new had not yet arisen, but Yang Jian was clearly not in the category of normal people, and his left fist swung out with force immediately.
The power attached to this punch was Ultimate Gold!
One punch, star-shattering!
BOOM!!
A thunderous roar suddenly exploded across the Beast Fighting Zone platform, and the body of the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King was sent flying, slamming heavily onto the stage. This beast-fighting platform, which had cost a fortune in Gold Soul Coin and materials to construct, was visibly dented by the impact!
However, Yang Jian clearly had no intention of letting the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King off so easily. With a light tap of his foot, he launched himself forward like a projectile, reappearing instantly beside the Flame Lion King.
Remember the mantra!
Left fist deals high damage, right fist deals high damage, and remember to use your soul skills while you're still alive!
The first soul ring beside Little White suddenly began to flicker.
In a split second, Little White darted out, pouncing directly onto the Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King and beginning to tear into it!
First soul skill, Heaven-Breaking Rending Claw!
"I mean... isn't this a bit too ferocious? Yang Jian looks so easygoing and kind, so why is he so violent when he fights!"
Watching the scene of fists connecting with flesh on the platform, Tang Ya, who was visiting the Beast Fighting Zone under the guidance of Bei Bei, couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The scene before her eyes had completely rewritten her understanding.
One had to realize, the soul beast that was being beaten so thoroughly that it couldn't even fight back had a cultivation of forty-two thousand years!
Beside her, Bei Bei also took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.
Is this... really still a human, and not some powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?
Of course, Bei Bei was just idly wondering.
With Title Douluo standing everywhere in Shrek Academy, he knew in his dreams that it was impossible for Yang Jian to be a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
But still... what is the difference between him and a humanoid tyrannosaurus?
Gong Changlong felt as though he had worried himself to death.
He, who had just been worried that something might happen to Yang Jian, could no longer sit still—if the fight continued like this, his Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King was going to be beaten into a soul ring!
No, no, he had to stop this fight immediately!
Oh no, he meant he would never welcome Yang Jian to the Beast Fighting Zone ever again!
