"Grass threadworm? How could it be a grass threadworm?"
"Ah ha, I’ve lived half my life, and I’ve never seen a grass threadworm ridian Spirit!"
"Anyway, even if that kid loses today, he’s definitely made a splash!"
"Just pandering to the audience, I think that kid is just here to cause trouble!"
"Honestly, I really want to see what a grass threadworm ridian Spirit’s combat strength is like. Hahaha!"
"..."
As Xiao Wu’s less than three-inch snake worm body appeared, there was first a stunned silence in the arena, then a burst of intense discussion ensued, which, of course, was filled mostly with undisguised mockery and ridicule.
This chatter also drew the attention of those who were originally not focused on the Qi Seeking No. 8 platform. As soone ntioned, even though Yun Xiao was likely just pandering to the audience, this move had indeed attracted unprecedented attention.
The so-called grass threadworm is a common insect seen all over the Tenglong Continent and even the Hidden Dragon Continent, and it is a favorite toy among toddlers learning to walk.
An ordinary grass threadworm doesn’t even count as a Vein Demon, and no one has ever turned it into a ridian Spirit from ancient tis to the present. From this point of view, the young man on the platform is probably the first in history.
Although the grass threadworm is pale gold, sowhat different from ordinary ones, judging by its shape and aura, it’s still a genuine grass threadworm, not a formidable Vein Demon.
"Grass threadworm?"
Xu Huan, who had already won the first round of combat, was also sowhat taken aback upon seeing the golden snake worm. Although he initially didn’t underestimate Yun Xiao, it seems he had indeed thought too much.
Using an ordinary grass threadworm as a ridian Spirit, Xu Huan found it unheard of, and such a spirit, other than catching so eyes, probably has no combat power at all, let alone fighting against Jiang Nanchao’s Seventh Rank Interdiate three-pronged black poison scorpion.
At this mont, Xu Huan suddenly felt so regret. If he had known that the kid’s ridian Spirit was just a grass threadworm, he wouldn’t have bothered with those small moves in private — though there would be no consequences, if his father found out, a scolding was inevitable.
"Yun Xiao bro, I knew you’d surprise , but this... this is a bit too surprising."
Compared to Xu Huan, Lin Xuanhao was almost in tears. Although he did not have much confidence in Yun Xiao defeating Jiang Nanchao, he believed his unconventional brother Yun Xiao wouldn’t be easily defeated.
But now, an ordinary grass threadworm against a Seventh Rank Interdiate three-pronged black poison scorpion, there’s hardly a comparison, the outco of this fight speaks for itself.
On the contrary, in the northern high platform, the envoy nad Xia Yong widened his eyes at this mont, staring intently at the golden snake worm summoned by Yun Xiao, unblinkingly.
"Tsk tsk, using a grass threadworm ridian Spirit to fight, it’s really the first ti in so many editions of Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Conference!"
On the other hand, Xu Huang, the chairman of the branch, had a hint of derisive cold smile on his face, and although his words seed emotional, the others could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.
Was it because a serious Spirit Fighting Conference, even under the watch of a headquarters envoy, had featured a grass threadworm ridian Spirit, which wasn’t even a Vein Demon, inherently lowering the standard of Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Conference?
"Do you... all really think that’s a grass threadworm?"
Just as Xu Huang was developing many dissatisfactions with Yun Xiao, the usually silent Xia Yong envoy suddenly made an odd sound, startling everyone.
"Could it be not?"
Although Xu Huang was convinced it was a grass threadworm, he ultimately did not dare blatantly argue, but sowhat audaciously asked, his tone still containing a hint of certainty.
"Although I don’t know what it is exactly, I can at least be sure that it’s not an ordinary grass threadworm!"
Xia Yong’s discernnt was far superior to Xu Huang’s. He sensed sothing extraordinary from the aura of the golden snake worm, which made him speak out to prevent those around him from making a bigger joke, especially since the reputation of Douling Comrce was at stake.
"Isn’t it just golden? Doesn’t it still qualify as a grass threadworm?"
Hearing this, Xu Huang and several Elders of the Spirit Fighting Branch glanced at each other. They didn’t speak, but in their hearts, they secretly felt embarrassed, yet at this mont, even if they were given the courage, they wouldn’t dare to speak out.
......
On the platform, due to Yun Xiao suddenly summoning the golden snake worm ridian Spirit, Jiang Nanchao temporarily stopped his actions, and the massive three-pronged black poison scorpion also abruptly halted its forward montum.
"Kid, I must say, you’ve got guts, daring to entertain with a grass threadworm!"
It was clear that Jiang Nanchao, who saw the Golden Snake Worm for the first ti, just like the surrounding spectators, mistook it for a threadworm. At this mont, he felt as if he was being mocked and beca uncontrollably angry.
"Old fool, who said this was a threadworm? Have you ever seen a golden threadworm?"
Yun Xiao, upon hearing this, could not help but feel a mix of laughter and helplessness. He ignored the fleeting fury in the eyes of the Golden Snake Worm in front of him and calmly responded. In fact, he had also mistaken the Golden Snake Worm for a threadworm when he first encountered it.
"Even if it’s golden, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a threadworm. Boy, do you know the consequences of angering ?"
Seeing that the young man was still being stubborn at this ti, Jiang Nanchao’s face grew incredibly grim, feeling as if every additional mont spent on the stage only added to his ridicule.
"No, you are wrong. It’s not a threadworm, it is a... dragon!"
At that mont, Yun Xiao’s expression beca extrely solemn and serious, and as these heavy words left his mouth, the entire North Gate of Yuyang City suddenly fell quiet.
Earlier, due to Yun Xiao summoning the "threadworm" ridian Spirit, almost all eyes were drawn to him. Now, as they heard the information coming from the young man’s mouth, everyone felt as if they were mishearing—could they have heard wrong?
"Where does this foolish boy co from, spouting nonsense here!"
"The Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, how can it be so blasphed? Despicable!"
"Elder Jiang, please take action quickly, and kill that ignorant boy!"
"A lowly threadworm, daring to falsely claim as a Divine Dragon, is completely outrageous!"
"Kill him!"
"..."
Yun Xiao’s words clearly incited public outrage. After a brief silence, the crowd suddenly erupted in anger, with cries of attack and kill resounding nonstop.
This continent is known as Nine Dragons Continent, fabled to once have nine divine dragons, each of them supre and holy, guarding this continent; not tolerating even the slightest blasphemy.
On this continent, anything associated with the word ’dragon’ is considered suprely divine and sought after by countless powerful cultivators, all hoping for a chance to transform into a dragon and soar to the skies.
But to think that sothing that is obviously a threadworm dares to impersonate such a supre divine dragon, how could the cultivators not be enraged? At this mont, they all wished this wasn’t a Spirit Fighting Conference but a life-and-death duel, to permanently silence this ridiculous boy.
"Ha ha, are you saying that today I, Jiang Nanchao, have the fortune to battle with a divine dragon?"
Jiang Nanchao, on the stage, clearly heard the heated discussions, and now he burst into laughter, his voice filled with mockery.
"Xiao Wu, this old guy doesn’t believe you’re a dragon, what should we do?"
Yun Xiao completely ignored the angry remarks, instead turning his head to sigh at the Golden Snake Worm, his words obviously provocative, but extrely effective for the proud Xiao Wu.
These ignorant humans never understand the true strength of a divine dragon, daring to consider them as lowly threadworms. Well, let them see what abilities I possess.
Whoosh!
Xiao Wu, the Golden Snake Worm, fueled by anger, twisted its snake body and shot out like a streak of golden light, reaching the imnse three-clawed black poison scorpion in just a breath’s ti.
"Hmm? How can it be so fast?"
Xiao Wu’s display of speed halted the discussions instantly, replaced by deep astonishnt. They knew that a threadworm could never achieve such speed.
Imagine, even a three-year-old child could play with a threadworm, which usually only slowly crawls on the ground. But now, this Golden Snake Worm had dashed out more than ten ters in an instant, a speed unachievable even by so cultivators at the early or even middle stage of the Qi Seeking Realm.
Whew...
The sudden speed demonstrated by the Golden Snake Worm also startled Jiang Nanchao, but he reacted swiftly. In his mind, the three-clawed black poison scorpion had already raised its gigantic scorpion claws and fiercely clamped towards the snake body of the Golden Snake Worm.
In Jiang Nanchao’s view, although the Golden Snake Worm was fast, it surely could not compare in physical strength with his three-clawed black poison scorpion, and in terms of size, there was no comparison.
The three-clawed black poison scorpion clamped extrely quickly, with the three claws positioned in three different directions, almost completely sealing off any escape route for the Golden Snake Worm.
However, in the next instant, everyone, including Jiang Nanchao who was directly involved, was stunned because the Golden Snake Worm made no attempt to dodge at all, letting the middle claw of the three-clawed black poison scorpion clamp onto its short snake body.
