“Whoosh!”

Shrek’s arm trembled, and the rock spikes on the back of his hand instantly extended a section. All the spiritual power condensed on this rock spike, causing deep yellow light to flicker at its tip. A small pit appeared in the stone platform below.

“Shrek, Rock Shattering Void Spike!”

Aishi Graze’s eyes suddenly opened wide, his cold shout echoed, Shrek stomped the ground, and amidst the flying rocks, charged swiftly towards Red. The rock spike thrust out violently, creating a fine crack in the space ahead.

Red’s eyes flickered, and his claws crossed, swinging out. The spinning fire spike rings tore through the air, darting around the platform, leaving afterimages, then abruptly converged in front of Shrek. The two fire spike rings, carrying scorching heat, slashed down towards Shrek’s head.

Shrek’s arm slightly raised, and the sharp spike clashed fiercely with the fire spike rings.

“Clang!”

A crisp collision sound rang out as a wave of violent energy rapidly spread from the point of impact. The already damaged platform further collapsed in layers. For a moment, stones flew everywhere, and the two spirit beasts were deeply embedded into the stone platform.

Wisps of blue smoke rose from the pit formed by their clash, and the onlookers held their breath.

“Who won?”

After a long silence on the platform, only Blaze Regret and Aishi Graze stood facing each other from a distance, their expressions calm. Finally, a soft inquiry emerged from among the spirit hunters below.

“Are you stupid? Do you even need to ask? Of course, Aishi Graze won.” The green robed woman beside Yun Suhaila shot a displeased glance at the speaker.

Yun Suhaila pursed her lips, her face full of worry.

“Congratulations, Brother Aishi. Your strength is indeed extraordinary. This wild cat and dog, who knows from which hole they crawled out, dared to challenge Brother Aishi. Truly foolish,” Mon Star said, cupping his hands towards Aishi Graze with a smile. If one listened closely, they could detect a hint of sycophancy in his voice.

It was baffling to see the deputy leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group showing such respect to a mere member.

“I declare the winner to be Aishi…” Mon Star glanced mockingly at Blaze Regret and began to announce the result with a hint of derision in his voice.

“I lost.”

However, Aishi Graze’s calm voice cut Mon Star off mid sentence, leaving the words stuck in his throat.

“Brother Blaze, your Two Tail Demon Flame Cat’s talent far exceeds my expectations,” Aishi Graze said, looking at Blaze Regret with a serene gaze, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

“Your Shrek is also quite impressive.”

Blaze Regret smiled faintly as the exhausted Red slowly climbed out of the pit, its Blue tail dragging out a severely injured figure Shrek!

“How can this be!” The green robed woman below covered her mouth in shock while Yun Suhaila beside her breathed a sigh of relief, as if she were the one who had just fought on the platform.

“Thank you,” Aishi Graze said as he brushed his hand over his waist. With a flick of his fingertips, a pale yellow pill fell into Shrek’s mouth. Astonishingly, after ingesting the pill, Shrek’s body quickly regenerated a layer of rock armor, visible to the naked eye.

“I never thought I’d meet my match in this small town,” Aishi Graze chuckled self deprecatingly. After Shrek returned to its spirit portal, Aishi Graze gently jumped off the tattered platform, waved his hand slowly with his back to Blaze Regret, and said, “If you’re interested, you can come to the central empire to find me. The training environment there is a hundred times better than here.

Of course, you’ll need to figure out how to clean up this mess first.”

Watching Aishi Graze disappear into the distance, Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Aishi Graze had quite a background. But were all these aristocratic heirs so arrogant? It seemed like each of them had a condescending tone when they spoke.

Aishi Graze was like this, and so was Kartis Van.

Thinking of Kartis Van, a cold light flashed in Blaze Regret’s eyes. He had now reached the strength Kartis Van had that day. He wondered how far Kartis Van had progressed with the ample resources of the kartis family supporting him.

Gently shaking his head to clear his mind of these sudden thoughts, Blaze Regret looked at Mon Star, whose face had turned grim, and smiled faintly, “According to the rules, I can now choose one of the three spirit techniques, right?”

Mon Star stared coldly at Blaze Regret in silence, making the atmosphere in the arena tense and oppressive.

“Hehe, Brother Blaze, you’re so young and already a fifth tier spirit warrior grade. Such talent is hard to come by. Have you ever considered joining our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?” Mon Black chimed in with a smile, though the latent violence in his eyes suggested he merely wanted to use this pretense to keep Blaze Regret there.

“Commander Mon overestimates me. There are plenty of fifth tier spirit warriors grade my age in the central empire. I wouldn’t want to cause trouble for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group,” Blaze Regret replied with a smile, discreetly moving toward the stone pillar where the three offensive spirit techniques lay quietly.

“So, are you saying you look down on our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?” Mon Black continued to smile, but his suddenly cold words made many spirit hunters shiver involuntarily.

“Not at all. I just prefer my freedom,” Blaze Regret said apologetically, placing his hand gently on the ice element spirit technique.

At that moment, a spirit hunter hurried over to Mon Star and whispered something in his ear. A cold gleam instantly flashed in Mon Star’s eyes, and a sinister smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

“Brother Blaze, I heard that you recently traded a few stone mushroom monsters at the shop. Is that true?” Mon Star asked, turning his sinister gaze toward Blaze Regret.
