The subsequent matches came one after another, averaging about half an hour each.
Yu Xian and Zhang Shou found it very enjoyable, mainly because every Beast Warrior who appeared was strong; although their strength and speed might not surpass Yu Xian's, their experience was incredibly rich.
With various movements, angle control, rhythm manipulation, and pre-emptive strikes, the battles were incredibly exciting, a completely different experience from watching videos, especially the subtle details of their exertion, which were very difficult to discern without being there in person.
“Ladies and gentlemen, wasn’t that battle exciting?”
“Hahahahaha, Feiquan also thinks the Beast Warriors’ matches are incredibly exciting and truly invigorating!”
“But next up is tonight’s grand finale, a super monster our hunting team just captured today: an extraordinary White Ape with human intelligence!!!”
As the host spoke, a cage slowly rose, revealing a three-meter-tall, powerful White Ape inside.
The White Ape lowered its head, its eyes hidden in shadow; its mere silhouette gave the audience immense pressure, even though it was only a low-level extraordinary creature, it made people dare not underestimate it.
“And our challenger is the Thousand-Win King, Iron God Bai Jinlong!!!”
On the other side, a 1.9-meter tall strong man walked out; he looked at the surrounding audience, revealing a slight smile, and raised a hand to wave at the various spectator stands; immediately, the entire venue was filled with cheers of ‘Iron God’.
In the private box, Yu Xian was looking at Bai Jinlong’s information.
This information was provided by the arena, easily accessible on the tablet connected to the chair by a power cord.
Bai Jinlong, 32 years old, Feng Class, a superpower user whose ability is to transform his entire body into black iron alloy; he not only has rich combat experience but also possesses immense strength, even capable of fighting above his rank if he encounters a type he can counter.
“This guy is very strong!”
Yu Xian thought to himself as he looked at the information.
He estimated that even using all his means, he probably wouldn't be able to break through Bai Jinlong’s defense, although Bai Jinlong also couldn't kill him.
Next, the match began.
The electric cage slowly opened after being powered down, and the giant White Ape looked up at Bai Jinlong.
Zhou Tai could never have dreamed that one day he would be dreaming of world domination, and the next day he would be easily captured by an extraordinary hunter team, while his other bodies, in order to cover his main body's escape, were easily killed by these bastards.
Now his nine personalities were separately parasitic in weak animals like rats, rabbits, his main body, sparrows, and so on; the strongest of these bodies, however, had become a human captive and now had to perform like a clown.
“Come on, big guy!” Bai Jinlong then waved at Zhou Tai, smiling as he spoke.
Zhou Tai felt a surge of anger erupt from his chest, wishing he could tear all humans to shreds. Among all his personalities, his third one was the most domineering, dreaming of world domination, unlike those idiots who only wanted to kill or play games; he clearly understood that only by becoming the King of the World could he do as he pleased.
Whether it was flaying people, committing arson, or doing anything, no creature would dare stop him then!
With a roar, he immediately punched towards Bai Jinlong, but Bai Jinlong had anticipated his movement when he jumped and easily dodged the attack.
Moreover, to show off his skill, he didn't even use his superpower while dodging.
Zhou Tai's punch shook the ground, and the surrounding audience immediately erupted in cheers, but these sounds seemed to be mocking Zhou Tai.
“Again!”
Bai Jinlong then smiled at Zhou Tai.
It's worth noting that what Zhou Tai controlled was not an Alienated Insect, but a Brain-Eating Neural Worm, so this White Ape was actually still alive, but its every move was completely controlled by Zhou Tai.
“Human, you have completely enraged me!” Zhou Tai stared at Bai Jinlong, speaking in a very unstandardized voice.
Bai Jinlong was startled, and the next second he was swept by Zhou Tai’s arm, sending him flying backward to crash heavily against the super-alloy steel cage, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Die!”
Zhou Tai seized the opportunity to rush forward, rapidly striking with both hands, intending to kill Bai Jinlong while he was injured.
But soon he felt the touch was wrong, and after stepping back, he saw that Bai Jinlong had already transformed into a pitch-black iron man; his previous attacks were not even considered tickles to Bai Jinlong.
“He can actually speak, that really surprised me!”
Bai Jinlong got up from the ground, looking at Zhou Tai’s muscular body, and explained to the audience.
Many extraordinary creatures indeed speak human languages, such as some parrots that not only speak but do so very fluently, and also weasels that seek to gain power, which also speak human language.
Bai Jinlong just hadn't expected the White Ape to speak human language, and was successfully ambushed by the White Ape due to the surprise.
Now that he was prepared, the White Ape could not pose any threat to him.
In the private box.
Yu Xian and the others were actually startled by the White Ape speaking.
Especially Yu Xian, who for some reason felt a sense of familiarity when the White Ape spoke.
No.
Although somewhat familiar, there was also a difference.
It was probably like two brothers: he had heard the younger brother's voice, so the older brother's voice felt familiar.
He frowned, trying to recall where he had heard this voice before, but the White Ape's voice was too rough and strange, making it impossible to match anywhere.
This should be more like an intuition; it couldn't be compared by direct comparison.
“Yu Xian, do you have a feeling that its voice… seems familiar?” Nora asked Yu Xian, frowning and staring at the White Ape.
Yu Xian was startled and asked, “You feel that way too?”
“Yes, but I just can’t remember where I heard it,” Nora nodded.
Yu Xian looked at the White Ape and guessed, “Zhou Tai?”
He and Nora had met many people together, but there was only one suspect, so he immediately thought of Zhou Tai.
“Zhou Tai? The voice doesn't sound like him, but the feeling… it does seem a bit like it…” Nora said, sounding uncertain.
Yu Xian watched the White Ape fight Bai Jinlong; after he became suspicious, the more he watched, the more he felt the White Ape was highly suspicious, especially since the White Ape's fighting style was mainly based on sneak attacks and catching opponents off guard.
If Bai Jinlong hadn't transformed his entire body into an iron alloy, he might not have been a match for the White Ape.
“He’s definitely Zhou Tai. Could this White Ape have been controlled by a Brain-Eating Neural Worm?”
Yu Xian’s eyes gradually became serious; silver light flickered in the depths of his pupils as he confirmed there were no tentacles beneath the White Ape’s skin, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
In the past, there had been no cases of Alienated Insects parasitizing extraordinary creatures; if this White Ape truly was Zhou Tai, then the situation would be severe.
Once the match ended, he would definitely go examine the White Ape's body; if it was confirmed that the White Ape was Zhou Tai, he would report it to the Qilin General Bureau immediately.
