Wang Ruoxie had confidence in winning the championship at the Hidden Dragon Assembly, not only because his cultivation had advanced to the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, but also because he finally could perform the second form of the Shocking God Sword Technique, the Destruction Technique.

Although due to the limitations of his cultivation, he couldn't unleash the true power of the Destruction Technique, even so, it was comparable to a normal lower-grade Earth Tier martial technique.

"His strength has become so formidable already."

Tang Miaoyin and Xiao Ningyue exchanged a glance, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They originally thought that with their current cultivation, even if their strength couldn't surpass Wang Ruoxie, there shouldn't be a significant gap.

However, at this moment, they discovered that the gap between themselves and Wang Ruoxie not only hadn't diminished but had actually widened.

"Wang Ruoxie's strength is too strong; he easily severely injured the Gale Wolf, which was equivalent to a late-stage Element Transformation Realm martial cultivator, and at the same time, he even neutralized Zhang Chong's attack."

"The swordsmanship he just displayed is definitely extraordinary; it's highly likely to be an Earth Tier swordsmanship."

"Moreover, his swordsmanship realm is probably already at the perfection level of Entering the Subtle."

...

The people below the battle platform, all with expressions of shock, started discussing among themselves.

"And you think this level of strength can kill me?"

Wang Ruoxie looked at Zhang Chong indifferently and said disdainfully.

"Wang Ruoxie, do you really think I can't kill you? Let me show you the true means of my Beast Taming Sect right now."

Zhang Chong's gaze was fixed on Wang Ruoxie, his voice cold as he spoke.

After he finished speaking, his figure suddenly dashed forward, but his target was not Wang Ruoxie, but the dying Gale Wolf.

He was seen directly smashing a palm onto the Gale Wolf's head, instantly shattering its entire skull.

Immediately afterward, he actually retrieved a thumb-sized diamond-shaped crystal from it.

"No way... Could it be that this Gale Wolf had already condensed a demon core? Does that mean it would soon transform into a Tier Four demon beast?"

"What a waste. If it could transform into a Tier Four demon beast, then this Gale Wolf would have the strength equivalent to an innate realm martial cultivator, at which point Zhang Chong could rely on it to completely contend with ordinary innate realm opponents."

"Zhang Chong probably wishes to tear Wang Ruoxie to pieces now, but what's he doing taking out the demon core of the Gale Wolf?"

...

Everyone looked at Zhang Chong with confused gazes. Although the demon core was indeed extremely precious, the most important thing on the battle platform was victory or defeat.

In the next moment, everyone's gaze froze there because they saw Zhang Chong swallow the demon core whole.

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

"Isn't he seeking death? Although a demon core is condensed from the essence, energy, and spirit of a demon beast, it cannot be directly eaten."

Many people looked at Zhang Chong with strange expressions, thinking that his direct ingestion of the demon core was entirely self-destructive.

If the demon core was refined into a pill, it could naturally be consumed, and its effect on assisting cultivation far exceeded general pills. But direct consumption was no different from poison.

However, those few people from the Beast Taming Sect not only did not stop Zhang Chong but instead each had a smile on their face, causing many nearby people to show contemplative expressions, secretly wondering about the reason behind it.

"Awoo..."

Suddenly, Zhang Chong howled at the sky like a wolf, and immediately, his body unexpectedly expanded, becoming a monster with the head of a wolf and the body of a human.

At the same time, a brutal and terrifying aura swept out from his body.

"What a terrifying aura."

"At least several times stronger than before."

Everyone's pupils shrank, and they were visibly horrified.

"What kind of technique is this? Not only can he directly consume the demon core but also transform into a half-demon body, instantly increasing his strength several times."

Tang Miaoyin remarked with surprise.

"This is the Demon Transformation Secret Technique of the Beast Taming Sect, only cultivable by true disciples."

Zhou Wenzhi said with a frown, "The reason the Beast Taming Sect can be one of the Upper Three Sects is precisely because of this Demon Transformation Secret Technique."

"After cultivating the Demon Transformation Secret Technique, one can directly swallow a demon core, transform into a half-demon body, and in a short time, at least unleash several times their strength. Moreover, after transforming into a half-demon body, their physical body will reach an extremely terrifying level, impervious to sword and blade."

Upon hearing Zhou Wenzhi's words, Tang Miaoyin and Xiao Ningyue both furrowed their brows slightly, their eyes revealing a worried look as they looked at Wang Ruoxie.

"Interesting."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Zhang Chong with a glint of curiosity, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth immediately after.

Although Zhang Chong swallowing the demon core and transforming into a half-demon body surprised him, he was not afraid in the slightest.

With his current strength, as long as Zhang Chong hadn't broken through to the Innate Realm, he posed no threat to him.

Even though Zhang Chong's strength had surged several times compared to before, he was fully confident in handling it.

"Destruction Technique, Slash!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Ruoxie slashed out with his sword.

Instantly, a sword qi containing terrifying power burst forth.

Facing the incoming killing sword qi, Zhang Chong not only did not retreat but instead charged out fiercely, rushing directly towards Wang Ruoxie.

"Clang!"

In an instant, the sword qi fell on Zhang Chong's body, surprisingly emitting a sound of clashing metal, even sparking.

"This guy, after transforming into a half-demon body, not only did his strength increase at least several times, but his physical body also seems to have enhanced a lot."

Seeing that his sword qi didn't injure Zhang Chong in the slightest, Wang Ruoxie's eyes revealed a look of bewilderment.

"Your strength is nothing more; you don't even have the qualification to hurt me."

Zhang Chong spoke with a mocking expression.

"Is that so?"

Wang Ruoxie gave a faint smile and surprisingly sheathed his longsword.

"What's he doing... Could he be intending to concede?"

The crowd looked at Wang Ruoxie with puzzlement.

"Think you can concede? Too late, die!"

Zhang Chong apparently also believed Wang Ruoxie intended to concede. His body trembled immediately, turning into numerous afterimages.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Wang Ruoxie, raising his clawed hands that had transformed into wolf claws, attacking Wang Ruoxie.

"Star Shattering Finger!"

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered a calm phrase, then raised his palm, condensing his fingers into a sword, meeting Zhang Chong's claws.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, Wang Ruoxie's fingertip collided with Zhang Chong's claws.

"Sizzle!"

The next instant, a soft sound was heard.

Soon after, everyone saw Zhang Chong's body being blown away.

"Am I seeing things? Was it really Zhang Chong who got blown away?"

Seeing this scene, everyone opened their eyes wide, showing incredulous expressions.

In their view, Wang Ruoxie putting away his longsword and confronting Zhang Chong's claws with his fingers was simply too foolish; the result would definitely be broken fingers, possibly even wasting an entire arm.

However, they never expected that in this collision, it was once again Zhang Chong who lost.

They even saw that Zhang Chong's claws were thoroughly pierced by Wang Ruoxie's fingers, with blood continuously dripping onto the battle platform.

"Impossible..."

Zhang Chong stared at Wang Ruoxie with a pallid face. He lost, even utilizing the Demon Transformation Secret Technique, he still lost.

But how could this be? After transforming into a half-demon body, he was confident that even facing a Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, or even a half-step innate, he could hold his own.
