"The Human Race truly has some good fortune. Even after the death of someone like Liu Tianzong, they can still produce a freak such as this." The gold-haired middle-aged man of the Ape Race stared at Lin Qi in admiration. "Unlike us Ape Race, it's challenging to produce even a top-level Bone Forging Realm expert these days."

"There's nothing to be envious about," a noblewoman from the Feather Race said, curling her lip in displeasure. "If we can't defend Chasing Light City this time, it won't matter even if the Human Race has Lin Qi as Deputy City Lord. Without the city's resources, reaching the Blood Coagulation Realm would be nothing but a dream."

The gold-haired man of the Ape Race didn't argue back, instead turning his gaze to the two people in the center of the hall on the martial arts stage.

In the path of becoming a Martial Artist, talent and hard work are fundamental. However, to reach higher levels, resources are essential. Especially at the level of the Blood Coagulation Realm, the resources required are something ordinary forces cannot bear.

As the leader of the Feather Race said, if Chasing Light City changes hands, neither the Human Race nor them would have good days ahead.

On the martial arts stage, a middle-aged man from the Three-Eyed Race in deep black battle armor was engaged in a fierce fight with a young man from the Flame Horn Race who wore a blood-red armor, standing over three meters tall, with skin smooth as jade and twin horns on his head.

Both sides exchanged deadly blows, each move potentially fatal. The intense clash of their Qi and Blood caused the air to continuously explode, yet the fighting waves failed to pass outside the stage, fully blocked by a semi-transparent energy barrier.

This stage was a battle platform built by the Martial Artist Association at a high cost. As long as one spent energy crystal stones, Martial Artists below the Blood Coagulation Realm could fight freely without worrying about destroying anything.

But just as the gold-haired man of the Ape Race looked at the stage, the previously evenly matched opponents showed a sudden change. The Flame Horn Race youth in blood-red armor abruptly distanced himself, and with a loud shout, his stature soared, transforming into a nearly five-meter-tall figure with skin turned dark red, resembling a demon born from fire.

With a single sweeping motion of his long spear, he directly blasted the middle-aged man of the Three-Eyed Race, slamming him heavily against the energy barrier. Blood spurted violently from his mouth as his hands shook too much to hold his weapon.

Before the middle-aged man of the Three-Eyed Race could stand again, the Flame Horn Race youth struck once more. The Three-Eyed Race man instinctively used a step technique to dodge, but the youth pursued with greater speed, delivering another sweep.

This time, because his weapon had dropped, the middle-aged man of the Three-Eyed Race could not defend with just martial arts. His arms and neck were brutally broken, leading to instant death on the spot.

As the Three-Eyed Race man died, the people of Chasing Light City wore grim expressions, their eyes filled with despair.

Because the man on stage was none other than the old-fashioned Deputy City Lord of Chasing Light City, recognized as second only to the City Lord. And just like that, he was eliminated on the life-and-death stage...

"Who will go up next from your Chasing Light City?" Hu Lei laughed, glancing at a half-grey-haired man of the Three-Eyed Race. "If no one steps up and you don't surrender, don't blame us for launching an all-out war right away!"

"Is this the transformation ability that only the Flame Horn Race are rumored to possess?" the City Lord of Chasing Light City, Diroya, stared firmly at the Flame Horn Race youth on stage, filled with shock.

In the entire Mist Mountain Region, the Flame Horn Race is a particularly rare group, but they are recognized as the combat race of the Mist Mountain Region, born and dying for battle.

Legend has it that if a Flame Horn Race member awakens their bloodline, they can transform, greatly enhancing their combat power. Yet, this has always been regarded as a tale. Even as City Lord, Diroya had never truly witnessed a Flame Horn transformation until today.

"Indeed, the Flame Horn Race's transformation is rare," Hu Lei said with a smile. "Moreover, I have preserved this transformation for you twice more."

"Next, who's going up?"
