"It's starting! It's finally starting!"
"I heard the initial rounds aren't between the demon kings, so we can wait a bit."
"Honestly, compared to the demon kings, I'd rather watch the demon beasts spar."
"Seconded. I can't possibly compete with demon kings, so I can only watch the demon beasts and see the gap between them and me."
"Here they come, here they come! Shh, don't speak!"
On the scene.
After Ao Yuan finished speaking, all the demon beasts in the arena let out furious roars, their battle intent surging.
They were inherently more pure in their pursuit of combat than humans.
They lived by the creed of respecting strength.
Didn't they all long to compete with others and elevate their own status?
What's more!
Ao Yuan had also offered numerous rewards for this martial arts tournament.
There was no reason for them to refuse!
Soon.
Ao Guang ascended the stage.
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were responsible for the livestream, while he acted as the host.
"The Dragon God has decreed!"
"This tournament is a continuous battle. After each demon beast achieves victory, they can choose to remain on the stage and accept further challenges."
"They will continue until they have achieved ten victories!"
Ao Guang first explained the rules. Seeing that none of the beasts objected,
He let out a soft shout, "The tournament officially begins!"
"The first to enter the arena will be the Golden Monkey, a subordinate of the Golden-Haired Monkey, and the Spirit Tiger, a subordinate of the Striped Tiger King!"
With that, Ao Guang stepped aside, and two demon beasts walked from below the stage to the front.
They were a Golden Monkey, two meters tall, and a massive tiger, four meters in height.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The two beasts' eyes were fierce, staring intently at each other.
It was clear they both knew the other possessed formidable strength.
Meanwhile, the audience in the livestream, upon witnessing this, began to lean towards the Spirit Tiger.
They didn't understand the intricacies, but purely from the difference in size,
They saw no possibility of victory for the Golden Monkey.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a thunderous roar erupted.
The Spirit Tiger moved its body and launched the first offensive.
Its massive size gave it a significant advantage, charging towards the Golden Monkey like a speeding automobile.
The Golden Monkey naturally dared not meet the charge head-on. It bent its legs and instantly flickered to the side.
As the two beasts began to move, the battle horn was officially sounded.
The many viewers in the livestream held their breath at this moment, concentrating their full attention on the fight.
After all, they rarely had the opportunity to witness a battle between demon beasts.
And the fight in the arena unfolded much as the audience had predicted.
The Spirit Tiger held a massive advantage from the moment it entered the ring.
The Golden Monkey dared not engage in direct combat, relying solely on its agility to dodge continuously.
This infuriated the Spirit Tiger.
But there was nothing it could do; compared to the Golden Monkey, its frame was too cumbersome.
After a moment.
The Golden Monkey, having dodged for so long, knew it couldn't continue this way.
After evading another of the Spirit Tiger's attacks, it chose to launch its own offense for the first time.
"Roar!"
The Golden Monkey roared, leaping agilely onto the Spirit Tiger's back!
Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and bit down on the Spirit Tiger's body.
In an instant, the Spirit Tiger's fur was stained crimson with blood.
"Roar!"
The Spirit Tiger roared in pain, but it did not lose its tiger's ferocity.
With a furious roar, it began to thrash its body violently.
However, the Golden Monkey seemed to understand that if it were thrown off, it would have no chance of defeating the Spirit Tiger.
It gripped the Spirit Tiger's body with all its might, both hands and feet, to prevent itself from falling.
"How's that? My subordinate is quite impressive, isn't he!"
Seeing the situation unfold, the Golden-Haired Monkey couldn't resist boasting to the Striped Tiger King beside him.
The Striped Tiger King let out a cold snort and ignored the Golden-Haired Monkey.
The other demon kings around them frowned slightly.
While the Golden Monkey's actions might be deemed ignoble by the audience,
They held no such concepts.
For them, who lived in the wild, in a fight between two beasts,
No matter what actions were taken, the one who ultimately emerged victorious was the winner.
As for the method of victory, no one cared.
Because the loser would pay with their life!
Many demon kings placed themselves in the Spirit Tiger's position.
If the Golden Monkey succeeded, and the Spirit Tiger couldn't react in time, they truly wouldn't have many options.
Ao Yuan watched and nodded slightly, expressing his strong approval of the Golden Monkey's actions.
He could discern that the Golden Monkey and the Spirit Tiger were at a similar cultivation level, both in the early Qi Condensation stage.
Ultimately, their victory would be determined by their battlefield control and experience!
For instance, if Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi had entered the fray earlier,
While the Spirit Tiger and the Golden Monkey might have initially been outmatched due to their cultivation levels,
Given time, they would inevitably have defeated Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi.
Ultimately, even with their strength, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi previously lacked any solid foundation to support them.
Of course, that was in the past. Now, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi also possessed considerable combat experience.
After waiting for three minutes.
Seeing that the Spirit Tiger had not shaken off the Golden Monkey, and that the Spirit Tiger's injuries were worsening with the Golden Monkey's relentless attacks,
Ao Yuan waved his paw, and Ao Guang immediately stepped forward and announced, "Alright, this match is over."
"The victor is the Golden Monkey!"
As Ao Guang's voice fell, Ao Yuan flicked his claws, and a beast core shot out from his hand, instantly landing in the mouths of both the Golden Monkey and the Spirit Tiger.
The Spirit Tiger, which had been on the verge of collapse, immediately stopped bleeding.
Its vitality even seemed to grow slightly stronger than before.
The Golden Monkey's vitality, on the other hand, had increased significantly.
Ao Yuan's display of generosity made many demon kings covetous.
Although they couldn't precisely identify what the two had ingested,
Judging by their transformation, it was clearly something valuable.
If not for the fact that they were demon kings, the rulers of these demon beasts,
They would have rushed onto the stage themselves to spar with all the demon beasts.
This would have allowed their own strength to increase considerably.
"Roar roar roar!"
As Ao Yuan made his pronouncement, the surrounding demon beasts erupted in excited roars.
The Golden Monkey stood on the stage, basking in its glory!
"Next, prepare for the second match!"
"Who will challenge the Golden Monkey!"
Ao Guang stepped onto the stage and gently roared.
"Who else!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Monkey patted its chest, attempting to adopt a fierce demeanor.
However, paired with its appearance, it couldn't help but elicit stifled laughter from the surrounding demon beasts.
Yet!
No matter how it appeared, no demon beast dared to underestimate the Golden Monkey.
After all, it had proven its strength in the previous battle!
And then.
Match after match erupted.
Eventually, the Golden Monkey also failed to hold on until the very end.
After consecutively defeating five demon beasts, it was finally defeated.
However, it had clearly gained a great deal from this tournament.
As for the one who defeated it, it was a brown bear!
This brown bear's strength was also in the early Qi Condensation stage.
And then!
The competition continued!
