Jiang Jie stood up from the ground.
Although it only lasted a minute, he wasn't injured to begin with, so it was enough time for him to rest.
After adjusting his state slightly, he reverted to human form.
Although his Animal Form Animal Form good, his understanding of it was still insufficient. Apart from the stag and the tiger, he couldn't yet condense the Animal True Form of the others, nor could he merge with Animal Form. His Chi didn't flow through the entire Animal Form, so he couldn't circulate it freely. He could only fight by relying on the animal's own strength and couldn't unleash much of his power.
Moreover, Animal Form only helps in tempering the physical body, but it doesn't help much in Chi Unification.
His physical condition has now been adjusted to its best, and he no longer needs to use Animal Form to temper himself. Before becoming Land Immortal, his body cannot be improved any further; it has reached its limit.
What he needs to do is, in human form, fully mobilize his essence, energy, and spirit, Chi Unification.
Jiang Jie stepped out of the rest area and into the arena.
In that instant, all eyes were on him.
"By the Holy Light! It's a human Druid! It really is a human Druid?"
"Humans... have Druid too?" A Night Elf Druid from Moonglade was stunned.
"What human Druid?! Please look carefully! He is Grand Duke Nicholas! Duke of Stromgarde!"
"The spirit of my ancestors! It really is Grand Duke Nicholas! My ancestor's spirit, he's actually participating in the arena?"
"Quickly, go and inform Prince Razdunk!"
"You, and you, immediately inform Archmage Molten to inform Prince Strimede Hotsand that Grand Duke Nicholas is at the Gurubashi Arena! Don't ask why, just go!"
Grand Duke Nicholas's name was naturally widely known.
As the most eye-catching rising star in all of Azeroth in the past two years, this still-underage Grand Duke, the youngest Grand Duke in history, naturally caused a stir.
Immediately following was a series of deafening screams!
They spent 1 gold coin, or at most 10 gold coins, to watch the game, and unexpectedly, they met the legendary Grand Duke Nicholas. Even if they didn't see any of the game, it was worth it, worth the ticket price!
The human audience, in particular, were overjoyed and shouted excitedly, because they were proud that Grand Duke Nicholas was human, as if they themselves were the Grand Duke.
In a corner of the audience, Vol'jin smiled faintly, thinking that Nicholas's appeal and prestige were even stronger than before, which was truly remarkable and enviable.
Zanza the Restless, wore an expression of surprise and even horror:
Jiang Jie's influence far exceeded his imagination.
Even though he had learned about Jiang Jie beforehand, rumors were just rumors. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized how powerful, influential, prestigious, and Jiang Jie Jiang Jie Jiang Jie Jiang Jie.
He finally stopped judging Jiang Jie Jiang Jie as a "mortal" and began to treat him as an equal...
An enemy, someone destined to become a stumbling block on the Troll ' path to resurgence, an enemy who must be killed as soon as possible.
On the other side of the audience, the Countess of Stormwind City's face showed surprise, which quickly turned icy cold.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the one who exposed and eliminated Farad?
Although Farad was a scoundrel who secretly hid himself instead of helping him, he was still a black dragon, and an ancient one at that, which Nicholas managed to kill.
How many ancient black dragons are there in the entire world? Less than 10!
We can't swallow this insult!
But now, her plan is at its most crucial moment, and she can't afford to act rashly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to bear her father's anger!
Never mind, let's wait and see!
When everything is finished, when his father is born, the whole world will tremble and Devastation, and Nicholas will not escape it either!
" Tsul'Kalu, come on, let me see what you've got!"
Ignoring those burning gazes,
Jiang Jie smiled faintly, extended his left hand, and beckoned. " Tsul'Kalu!"
The White Gorilla roared and charged at Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie calmed himself down, slightly bent his legs, and struck a pose that made him look like an ape.
I must say, they do look somewhat similar to White Gorilla.
Because this is originally the Ape Frolic from the Five Animal Frolics, which imitates the form of a monkey.
From the moment he was born, Jiang Jie began practicing the Five Animal Frolics, day and night without ceasing. The total time he spent practicing was even more than that spent Taijiquan.
He had already mastered four true forms: tiger, deer, ape, and bird. When fighting in Tiger Form, his true form and Tiger Form merged into one, making him extremely powerful. When he transformed into a stag, his true form and stag form merged into one, and he could easily knock White Gorilla flying with all his might. If he were just running, he could run for seven days and seven nights without any problem.
He could sprout wings at any time and fly freely like a real bird.
The only thing he didn't finish was the Giant Bear True Form, because he had basically never seen a bear, so he was still lacking in this aspect.
The Ape Form is also complete.
Now, he assumed a fighting stance, and a giant ape made of Chi appeared outside his body, almost as large as White Gorilla, roaring in a low voice, just as deafening as the White Gorilla.
"You're fake!"
The White Gorilla roared, then swung its large club and charged towards Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie was taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled.
Yes, the Giant Ape True Form is, after all, just Chi Form Manifestation; it is ultimately just a facade.
Since it's fake, there's no need to show it off; let's just take it back.
Jiang Jie's expression turned serious, and the Giant Ape True Form rapidly shrank, quickly disappearing into Jiang Jie's body. Jiang Jie also mobilized all his true Chi, fully activating the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to its limit.
The White Gorilla leaped into the air, and a large rock club rained down from the sky, perfectly suited to him.
hack!
The Ogres warrior had already demonstrated the power of that blow to everyone not long ago.
If hit by it, let alone Ogres, even a giant mammoth would not be able to withstand it and would surely die.
In the eyes of the audience, this blow was about to fall on Jiang Jie's head in the next moment.
How can one withstand this blow?
Although everyone has heard of Jiang Jie 'Jiang Jie legends, only a few have actually witnessed him in action.
They had seen Jiang Jie fight in Animal Form, but in their opinion, although Jiang Jie's Animal Form was agile, it was still far inferior to that of White Gorilla.
They were eager to know what other tricks this legendary Grand Duke had up his sleeve.
Even Vol'jin was worried for Jiang Jie.
He was thinking that if he were the one being hit by that blow, he would have no way to avoid it except by relying on his speed.
Judging from Jiang Jie, he clearly had no intention of avoiding the situation.
The Countess from Stormwind City frowned as well.
If she revealed her true form, she could naturally block the blow, but she would definitely be dizzy and disoriented, because it was indeed very powerful.
So, how will the Grand Duke of Stromgarde defend himself?
Amidst the intense attention of everyone, Jiang Jie raised his head and then his hand.
He raised both hands.
Like a giant ape, he raised his hands, using his flesh and blood to meet this earth-shattering blow.
A hint of confusion appeared in the White Gorilla's eyes. It didn't understand why its master didn't dodge, but it had absolute confidence in its master, so it didn't hesitate for a moment before striking with the stick.
Or perhaps he felt that if Jiang Jie couldn't withstand this blow, he might as well die and not be qualified to be his master?
The big stick came down, and the bare hand caught it.
As the immense force pressed down on him, Jiang Jie felt an unprecedented pressure on his body. Every bone and muscle in his body had to be mobilized to bear this pressure.
His blood began to flow rapidly, his Chi began to flow rapidly, circulating through the major and minor meridians, all the Chi in all the acupoints was mobilized, flowing along the meridians, spreading throughout his body, forming intersecting pillars of Chi from his legs to his feet, supporting his body and also supporting the big stick.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, and the giant rock club split open!
Then the cracks grew larger and larger until it broke apart, splitting in two.
Without the heavy stick pressing down on him, Jiang Jie could no longer feel that pressure. However, the Chi flowing rapidly throughout his body did not stop. Instead, it flowed and circulated even more wildly, surging into his middle dantian under the impetus of the Black Tortoise Longevity Art.
Jiang Jie closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation.
His inner Chi vanished abruptly, leaving him looking like an ordinary person—slightly thin, even pale, and frail.
The entire room fell silent.
Some people wanted to ask why, but after looking at the fierce-looking White Gorilla and the raised broken rock club, they quickly shut up.
The Zanza the Restless saw this as a good opportunity, believing that something seemed wrong with Jiang Jie, and wanted to intervene.
The Countess from Stormwind City was even more direct, but she didn't dare to risk exposing her identity by making a move. Instead, she gave a signal, and a dragon-man general disguised as a human male nobleman suddenly leaped up, raised his greatsword, and charged towards Jiang Jie.
In the blink of an eye, he revealed his true form: a dragon-man general who was also about four meters tall. In terms of both size and strength, he was no less than the White Gorilla. Coupled with the epic greatsword in his hand, his extremely high combat skills, and his considerable spellcasting ability, he was confident that he could completely kill the White Gorilla and the abnormally injured Jiang Jie.
Suddenly, a Shadow Phoenix took to the sky.
Zanza the Restless attacked, simultaneously binding the Shadow Phoenix with four soul chains.
The golden-white Anveena emerged from Jiang Jie's body and flew into the sky.
The Countess from Stormwind City chanted a spell softly, and a black chain bound Anveena, preventing her from breaking free in a short time no matter how much Anveena struggled.
The entire audience erupted in uproar, followed by extreme chaos.
No one dared to stop the incredibly terrifying dragon-man general, and Jiang Jie, the Legendary Grand Duke who had suddenly run into trouble, seemed about to die by the dragon-man general's sword.
When the sword was less than half a meter away from Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie opened his eyes.
