Chapter 1700: Victory Upon Victory

Boom! After a loud explosion, the dao avatar of the Wandering Soul Group disciple completely vanished. The Wandering Soul Group disciple was also killed during the process. His body was badly mangled. It was just shy of being a meat paste!

Zhao Hai waved his hand and took the corpse with him to become a new undead. In fact, Zhao Hai already showed mercy. If he didn't then the body of the cultivator would have already turned to ash and scattered.

Those who saw the battle couldn't believe what they saw, this included Zhang Feng.

Although Zhang Feng was confident in Zhao Hai, he wouldn't overestimate himself. He knew that Zhao Hai just formed his dao avatar. He doesn't know how long the Wandering Soul Gang disciple condensed his dao avatar, but the fact that it could move meant that it has been a long time. It would be hard for Zhao Hai to win against him. Zhang Feng telling Zhao Hai to kill the Wandering Soul Group disciple was only due to his anger. He regretted it after Zhao Hai got on the stage. He was afraid that Zhao Hai would really try to kill the Wandering Soul Group disciple. If Zhao Hai gets in trouble, then his faction would be troubled.

Zhang Feng didn't think that Zhao Hai would actually win. Moreover, he killed the opponent in two moves. What kind of strength was this? Isn't he too strong?

There were a lot of discerning people present. They all knew that the Wandering Soul Group disciple wasn't weak. Humanoid dao avatars were known to be much stronger compared to animalistic dao avatars. Moreover, the Wandering Soul Gang disciple's hungry ghost avatar was quite a strong type of humanoid avatar. And lastly, the final attack of the hungry ghost was its strongest attack. This was because the hungry ghost's strongest attack came from its mouth.

Even with all of these advantages, the Wandering Soul Gang disciple was still killed in two moves. They could all see how overwhelmingly strong Zhao Hai was. Everyone who saw the battle couldn't help but breath in cold air. None of them dared to underestimate Zhao Hai from this point on.

It would be fine if Zhao Hai won with normal means. However, Zhao Hai was very overwhelming against his opponent. This only meant one thing, he was strong, strong beyond the ordinary!

Strength was the most important aspect of body cultivators. Body cultivation was synonymous with strength. Zhao Hai being strong wasn't strange. Looking at the weapon Zhao Hai used, one would know that he was a body cultivator.

However, Zhao Hai's strength was just too excessive. People couldn't help but think of a phrase, one fist to drop ten! Sure enough, his physical strength was enough to defeat ten people with one move!

After receiving the Wandering Soul Group disciple's corpse, Zhao Hai didn't even look at the other people as his body flashed and returned to the treasure ship.

Zhang Feng gave Zhao Hai a strange look as he said, "Little Hai, you're really a body cultivator?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I am. Back in the lower realms, I was able to acquire a Buddhist Body Cultivation Method. The cultivation method caused my strength to grow a lot."

Hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh as he said, "Alright. That's good. If you win two more battles, then we would have a slot. But I will still tell you to give up if you can't do it."

Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, the next round of competition began. Zhao Hai's overwhelming victory was just a drop in the ocean. It didn't raise a storm in the arena.

After several rounds of battles, the first round of elimination was finished. In this first round, besides a small number of people who were injured, the rest were killed.

Although the first round had just ended, the Inner Disciples that were left still numbered tens of thousands of people. In other words, there was still another round of elimination.

Before long, the second round of eliminations began. This time, Zhao Hai's opponent was a disciple of a small sect. This disciple also had an animalistic dao avatar in the wood stage. His avatar was a snake. It was nimble and resourceful, completely opposite to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai saw his opponent looking at him in a serious manner. Naturally, the disciple saw Zhao Hai's performance in the first round. Therefore, he was wary of Zhao Hai's actions.

The two people began to move. The disciple circled around Zhao Hai with fast speed. Moreover, his actions were sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Sometimes he would be close to Zhao Hai while sometimes he would be far away. It was difficult to foresee his movements.

Zhao Hai saw this and knew that his opponent wanted to be flexible and intended to exhaust him. Unfortunately for the enemy, he faced Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai wielded his short halberd as the elephant dao avatar's trunk swung down. The enemy's dao avatar tried to evade but found that it couldn't. It tried to block the trunk but failed. The dao avatar was broken, which marked the defeat of his opponent.

One move to defeat the enemy! His first enemy was defeated in two moves, while the second was defeated in one! This was too astonishing. The amount of people who paid attention to Zhao Hai has increased. This included people from the nine super sects.

An Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect of the Northern Divergent Province looked at Zhao Hai who returned to the treasure ship. Then he turned to the person beside him and said, "Have someone check on the background of this Li Lin. How could he suddenly appear in the Black Tiger Gang? I have never heard of a powerful disciple like him in that sect." The person nodded and then went back to take action.

Several people from the nine super sects issued the same order to their subordinates. Not only the nine super sects, even the sects with the same standing or lower than the Black Tiger Gang sent people to get information about Li Lin.

Not long after Zhao Hai's battle, the second round of elimination ended. This time, there were less than ten thousand people remaining. Then the third round of elimination began.

Astonishingly, Zhao Hai drew someone from the nine super sects. It was an Inner Disciple from the Beast Sect of the Southern Barbarian Province. This person made two moves to win two battles. His dao avatar was an eagle that was close to reaching the metal stage. He was very strong.

Seeing this draw, people couldn't help but stare. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be so unlucky to pull out such an opponent.

With the Beast Sect disciple's dao avatar being an eagle, it was flexible, fast, and also strong. In the two previous battles, the opponent's dao avatar was caught by the eagle's talons and shattered.

The Beast Sect disciple looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Kid, to be honest, your performance was very good. Unfortunately, you ran into me. Whether you live after today or not depends on your ability."

Zhao Hai just faced the Beast Sect disciple without saying anything. He held his short halberds tightly. He just looked at his enemy without averting his gaze.

Seeing Zhao Hai's actions, the spectators couldn't help but nod. Faced with the domineering Beast Sect disciple, Zhao Hai still had the courage to fight. Whether he wins or loses, Zhao Hai still won the admiration of the audience.

The Beast Sect disciple was now in the same situation as the Wandering Soul Group's disciple. He turned a domineering speech into a comedic performance.

The Beast Sect disciple roared and summoned his eagle dao avatar. The eagle immediately charged towards Zhao Hai with its enormous talons. It wanted to grab Zhao Hai's elephant dao avatar.

Zhao Hai swung his halberd, the elephant's trunk clashed with the eagle's talons. Boom! After a loud bang, Zhao Hai retreated. The Beast Sect disciple was also shaken back. The two were evenly matched, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

In the previous battles, disciples of the nine super sects would have an overwhelming victory against their opponents. Nobody expected the Beast Sect disciple to fail in getting the upper hand in this engagement.

The Beast Sect disciple was also stunned. He didn't expect the result to be like this. He couldn't help but pale. He knew that even if he won, this battle would still be a stain in his reputation. His development in the beast sect would no doubt be affected. Thinking of this, the Beast Sect disciple was enraged. He once again charged towards Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai's expression was still calm. Seeing the enemy attack him once more, he crossed his short halberds. Although it seemed like he was being suppressed by the Beast Sect disciple, he was actually defending well. It didn't seem like he would be defeated.

The battle finally caught everyone's attention. Besides those who were still fighting, everyone else were looking towards Zhao Hai.

After attacking Zhao Hai 50 times, the Beast Sect disciple finally slowed down. At this moment, Zhao Hai's eyes flashed. He swung his halberd with a force several times stronger than before. The Beast Sect Cultivator was surprised, he immediately flew back and defended.

This time, it was Zhao Hai's assault. The elephant roared as it attacked again and again. The Beast Sect disciple was plunged into a passive state!

Although the Beast Sect disciple was defending, he couldn't retaliate. He has been completely suppressed by Zhao Hai. This caused everyone to be stunned.

Zhao Hai already attacked more than 50 times but he didn't show any signs of exhaustion. He continued to attack. Meanwhile, the Beast Sect disciple looked like he couldn't hold on. At Zhao Hai's 55th attack, the trunk of the elephant shattered the eagle dao avatar. Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes. They didn't want to see the tragedy that would happen. Zhang Feng also felt bitter in his heart. He didn't expect Zhao Hai to be this strong. Although he was happy that Zhao Hai won, offending the Beast Sect wasn't good for the Black Tiger Gang.

But in the next moment, the audience discovered that Zhao Hai and the Beast Sect disciple were standing opposite to each other. No injuries could be seen from their bodies. There was a grateful expression on the Beast Sect disciple's face as he bowed and said, "I lost."

Zhao Hai also bowed and said, "I apologize for offending you." These were the first words that Zhao Hai spoke on the platform. The audience couldn't help but nod at his politeness.

Zhao Hai did well. Nobody expected that Li Lin, who looked cruel and merciless, would let the Beast Sect disciple off. Not only did he spare the enemy, he was also polite to them. Although he didn't say many words, it showed in Zhao Hai's heart that the position of the Beast Sect disciple was different from his past two opponents. This caused the Beast Sect disciple to feel less resentment towards Zhao Hai.

After the two went back. The cultivators around the life and death arena turned towards Zhang Feng's treasure ship. There were gazes filled with admiration, jealousy, and hatred. There were various emotions directed towards the Black Tiger Gang.

If a sect wants to progress, it cannot do so without strong disciples. However, a strong disciple wasn't enough. A good soldier wasn't necessarily a good politician. A sect not only needs good soldiers, it also needs people with a good head on their shoulders. Zhao Hai's performance didn't only show that he was strong, it also showed that he knew how to act. Talents like this would certainly attract attention wherever sect they are in.

The other sects couldn't help but be envious of the Black Tiger Gang. Why would such an extraordinary disciple appear on the Black Tiger Gang. It was unfair.

After Zhao Hai returned to the treasure ship, Zhang Feng patted his shoulder and laughed. He didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Zhang Hao and Hao Xing looked at him with excited expressions. These two were avid supporters of Zhang Feng. Zhao Hai's actions would play a very important role in Zhang Feng's later developments.

The battle was a struggle for slots for the subspace's slots. If Zhang Feng succeeds in acquiring a slot, then he would be bringing huge benefits to the Black Tiger Gang. This would increase his popularity in the sect and give him an advantage against the top ten core disciples.

If he didn't get a slot or if he offended a super sect because of the slot, then he would become a sinner of the Black Tiger Gang.

Zhang Feng was afraid of becoming a sinner. This explained why he initially prevented Zhao Hai from joining the competition. When Zhao Hai fought against the Beast Sect disciple, Zhang Feng was extremely worried. He wanted Zhao Hai to win, but he also didn't want to offend the Beast Sect. He was in a dilemma!
