"Since time is of the essence, I have no time to waste with you!"
Zhang Chen stood firm, slowly assuming the starting stance of Bajiquan.
The energy within him immediately began to circulate at high speed.
Although Zhang Chen's physique was negligible in front of the giant hand.
Yet, his resolute gaze and the wind-stirring energy made him impossible to ignore.
RUMBLE!
The giant hand seemed to sense that Zhang Chen was about to unleash a powerful move. Instead of confronting him directly, it suddenly exerted downward force.
It smashed a large pit into the ground.
Following this, it transformed into countless arms, burrowing into the city's underground pipe network.
The giant hand, tens of stories high, vanished without a trace in an instant!
"This... has the giant hand escaped?"
The formidable girl standing in the distance asked nervously.
"Demon spirits are monsters that do not understand fear. Unless it's an ancient hero with innate righteous energy that can frighten away a demon spirit."
"Even our academy's dean wouldn't dare claim to possess such aura, let alone this brat in front of us."
"Therefore, the demon spirit must have changed its tactics. These cunning monsters have countless ways to kill!"
"I don't think this kid can last ten minutes!"
The long-haired girl said with a cold smile.
In the center of the arena.
Although the giant hand had disappeared, Zhang Chen could see its movements clearly.
Under his absolute vision, streams of arms traveled seemingly at random through the underground pipe network, actually setting up a massive trap to crush Zhang Chen within.
Normally, Zhang Chen would wait for the opponent's trap to be fully constructed before acting.
This would allow him to increase his knowledge and combat experience.
But now time was tight, with only ten minutes. By the time the Spiritual Energy Association arrived, the fourth-tier spiritual core would no longer be his.
While he had free time earlier, Zhang Chen had checked on his phone.
A fourth-tier spiritual core, depending on its quality, could sell for 750,000 to 2,000,000!
Even 750,000 was equivalent to his parents' lifetime savings!
"I must take you down!"
Zhang Chen roared and began to sprint across the ground.
BANG!
He slammed his fist into the ground, shattering the asphalt instantly. Soil mixed with severed arms flew up.
"Again!"
BANG!
Wherever Zhang Chen struck the ground, severed arms would fly out.
As more and more severed arms appeared, the giant hand's energy was continuously depleted.
SCREECH!
Suddenly, a sharp screeching sound echoed.
Countless hands burst through the ground, reaching out towards Zhang Chen.
At first, Zhang Chen could tear apart a few pairs with brute force.
But the hands were endless, and Zhang Chen couldn't fly, relying only on the ground.
As long as his feet were on the ground, he would be entangled by countless hands.
Before long, his hands and feet were completely ensnared by the multitude of hands, leaving him rooted to the spot.
At this moment, opposite Zhang Chen, a humanoid monster composed of arms rose up. Its face was formed by two open palms, with an eye in the center of each palm.
On its back, three more hands grew.
Similarly, the three hands were spread out, each with an eye in its palm.
A total of four pairs of eyes!
"What a disgusting monster!"
Zhang Chen looked at the constantly writhing arms before him, feeling a wave of nausea.
HISS!
The monster couldn't speak, nor did it need to.
Suddenly, the four pairs of eyes shot beams of laser light towards Zhang Chen.
BOOM!
A massive explosion directly severed the arms that bound Zhang Chen's limbs. Zhang Chen was also blasted dozens of meters away, crashing into a distant abandoned building and causing it to collapse.
"Heh, it's finally over!"
Seeing this, the long-haired girl's suspended heart finally relaxed.
"Only 3 minutes left, let's get ready!"
The moment the long-haired girl turned around, the formidable girl suddenly exclaimed excitedly:
"It's not over, he's still alive!"
"What?!"
The long-haired girl was shocked.
It was impossible for anyone to survive a demon spirit's soul attack while their limbs were bound and they were caught defenseless!
Especially a fourth-tier demon spirit's soul attack!
Even a fourth-tier, or even a fifth-tier spiritual master, would not dare to face it with their physical body, requiring skills and equipment to assist.
After all, it was a desperate attack from the demon spirit, and its power was extraordinary!
As expected, before the dust from the collapsed building had settled, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out.
The swirling dust behind it had its shape altered.
"No one has managed to knock me flying yet. You have successfully ignited my fighting spirit!"
Zhang Chen roared, his speed increasing again. BANG!
With a loud bang.
Zhang Chen vanished from his spot.
He reappeared behind the giant-handed monster.
The giant-handed monster's four pairs of eyes showed expressions of surprise and fear, and then its body turned into a puff of black smoke and slowly disappeared.
Instant kill!
