Left Fist Deals More Damage, Right Fist Deals Even More

It would have been a lie to say he wasn't disappointed.

If he could confirm that this Two-Headed Lion King possessed the Ultimate Fire attribute, he could have asked the elders in the Offering Hall to stop searching and simply negotiated with Shrek Academy.

But now, he could only trouble the elders to keep looking.

As the steam and dust cleared, the Two-Headed Lion King's figure was revealed to everyone.

Although it had taken Yang Jian's punch head-on, the Two-Headed Lion King hadn't suffered any fatal injuries. At most, its aura had weakened slightly, and the anger in its eyes had grown even fiercer.

In its heart, Yang Jian's cultivation was no different from that of an ant.

Yet it had been punched by an ant like him!

Unforgivable!

A blazing red light suddenly rose from the Flame Lion King's body. Scorching flames began spreading outward from it, instantly engulfing Yang Jian.

The Innate Domain awakened by the Two-Headed Lion King after its mutation—the Fire Spirit Domain!

"This is impossible!"

Gong Changlong had barely warmed his seat before he stood up again, his expression turning utterly grim.

He had watched over this Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King for a full twenty years, and in all that time, it had never once displayed the power of a domain!

Just like humans, Soul Beasts could generally only awaken a domain after reaching a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Only certain powerful Soul Beast species or mutated Soul Beasts could possess domain-type abilities from birth.

In other words, Soul Beasts with domains were just as rare as Soul Masters with domains.

Gong Changlong had never dreamed that among all the beasts he had managed for so long, there would be a Soul Beast with a domain.

Most crucially, it had never revealed this power before.

This was a grave failure on his part! And the price... might well be the loss of 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 entirely different things!

Damn it!

Gong Changlong gritted his teeth and prepared to force his way into the Beast Fighting Arena to end the battle. But to his surprise, a somewhat dim silver-gray halo spread from Yang Jian and Xiao Bai's bodies.

This was... a domain!?

Yang Jian had a domain too?

Gong Changlong's expression shifted several times, but in the end, he still chose not to interfere in the battle by force.

A domain, huh?

Yang Jian looked up at the crimson flames around him, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

This was his first time encountering a Soul Beast with a domain.

But... even though I don't have Blue Silver Grass, I'm still immune to fire~

The Chaos Domain abruptly spread, and the burning sensation in the air weakened considerably. Since Yang Jian hadn't yet absorbed a Soul Ring with the Ultimate Fire attribute, the Chaos Domain couldn't completely nullify the Two-Headed Lion King's domain. But weakening the flames' effects was already enough.

The chaotic domain seemed like a thin outer veil, faint and hazy as it settled over the domain of flames. The two didn't clash at all; one simply cut down the other's power, brutally and efficiently.

The flames that remained had barely any effect on Yang Jian.

The next moment, Yang Jian's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the Two-Headed Lion King once more.

The same look of surprise appeared in both pairs of the Two-Headed Lion King's eyes.

It couldn't understand how this weak human could remain completely unaffected within its domain. The scene it had imagined—Yang Jian being burned, writhing in pain, and crying out—hadn't happened at all.

Everything had gone beyond its expectations.

All it knew was that this human had appeared before it again, and was raising his fist once more.

This time, it carried a sense of crushing weight.

The Two-Headed Lion King didn't hesitate. It immediately activated the second innate skill it had gained after its mutation.

Lion Aura Protection!

Its thick, flame-flecked mane seemed to grow in an instant, enveloping its entire body. Thanks to this innate Soul Skill, it was a tyrant in the Beast Enclosure. Even other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts steered clear of it.

But when Yang Jian's fist landed, the expression in the Two-Headed Lion King's eyes changed sharply once again.

This time, it couldn't even cry out.

Why did this damn human's punches hurt so much!?

It couldn't understand, and it couldn't even make a sound. It could only passively endure the heavy punch.

A trace of surprise also appeared in Yang Jian's eyes.

Was this Two-Headed Lion King a tortoise or something? That punch hadn't even broken through its defense?

His right fist rebounded. An ordinary person would have been caught between their old strength fading and their new strength not yet building, but Yang Jian clearly wasn't ordinary. His left fist immediately swung out with all its might.

The power behind this punch was the Ultimate Gold!

One punch, shattering stars!

Boom!!

A deafening roar erupted across the Beast Fighting Platform. The Two-Headed Lion King was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the platform. The Beast Fighting Platform, which had cost a great deal of Gold Soul Coins and materials to build, was left with a sizeable dent!

But Yang Jian clearly had no intention of letting the Two-Headed Lion King off so easily. He lightly pushed off with his foot, sprang forward, and appeared beside the Flame Lion King once more.

Remember the mantra!

Left fist deals more damage, right fist deals even more; remember to use your Soul Skills while you're still alive!

The First Soul Ring beside Xiao Bai suddenly lit up.

In an instant, Xiao Bai shot forward, pouncing on the Two-Headed Lion King and tearing into it!

First Soul Skill: Heaven-Breaking Rending Claw!

"I mean... isn't he a little too ferocious? Yang Jian looks so mild and approachable. Why is he so violent in a fight?"

Watching the punches land one after another on the Beast Fighting Platform, Tang Ya couldn't help murmuring. Bei Bei had brought her to see the Beast Fighting Zone.

The scene before her had completely overturned her understanding.

The Soul Beast Yang Jian was beating so badly it couldn't fight back had a cultivation of forty-two thousand years!

Bei Bei beside her also drew a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.

Was this... really a human, and not some powerful Soul Beast in human form?

Of course, Bei Bei had only idly wondered about it.

With Titled Douluo standing in ranks at Shrek Academy, he knew full well that Yang Jian couldn't possibly be a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in human form.

But... how was this any different from a humanoid tyrannosaur?

Gong Changlong felt as if he'd worried himself sick.

He had just been afraid something might happen to Yang Jian, but now he couldn't sit still for another reason—if this went on, his Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King was going to get beaten into a Soul Ring!

No, no, he had to stop this fight right away!

No—better yet, Yang Jian was never welcome at the Beast Fighting Arena again!
