Time slowly passed, and before long, dark night had descended on Misty Mountains. The serene silver moonlight, like autumn frost, evenly dyed the gray-blue landscape.
Mutant Jackdaws sang from the misty treetops, their cries blending with the sounds of the forest critters.
However, the inner region of the Misty Mountains stood in stark contrast, remaining as brightly illuminated as during the daytime.
Looking up, one could see round sun-like light balls suspended in the air, illuminating the night sky.
This is the work of Spirit Butterfly.
When the night descended, she fluttered her wings, as Light-Attribute Spiritual Energy gathered before her, materializing into light balls the size of a millstone.
There were a total of ten balls, suspended above the ten battlefields.
Meanwhile, on the battlefields, each spanning over 10 kilometers in length and breadth, roaring Mutant Beasts were engaged in fierce combat.
“Steel Monitor Lizard wins, plus 5 points.” With a thunderous shout, a judge from Smoghaven, a Tier-3 Superhuman, raised the flag indicating the end of the battle.
At the same time, the scoreboard at the center of the Martial Arts Tournament field showed an increase of 5 points for Steel World’s Steel Monitor Lizard.
It has successfully entered the top fifty.
As for its opponent, the Mutant Viper from a remote corner of Misty Mountains, its ranking had plummeted to the seventies or eighties.
This was the cruelty of the first Martial Arts Tournament of Misty Mountains. Battles continued round after round until the champion was determined.
As for injuries, there was no need to worry. With treasures like the Spirit Lake and Spirit Pond, even serious injuries could be healed.
More importantly…
Slowly raising one’s eyes to the center of the Martial Arts Tournament field, four figures could be seen quietly hovering in the sky.
One figure was shrouded in a storm-like vortex, making it impossible to see clearly. However, a huge silhouette of Tiger could be vaguely discerned, its wings spread wide, staring intently.
That was the Storm King, also known as the Evil Tiger, the Third Great Beast of Misty Mountains, and a Natural Disaster-Class existence.
On the other side, boundless night gathers to form a pitch-black vortex, like a black hole, absorbing the light of the moon completely.
Bull Demon, the Second Great Beast of Misty Mountains, who controlled gravity. Though he had just reached Tier-4, his strength was profound and unfathomable.
Apart from White Tiger and Bull Demon, not far away, there was also a sea of flames and a towering ice pillar.
Nine Tails, the First Great Beast of Misty Mountains, and the Guardian, Ice Elemental Flood Dragon, both extremely terrifying Natural Disaster-Class Powerhouses.
At this moment, all four were exuding a terrifying aura. So terrifying, that not to mention ordinary Mutant Beasts, even those at Tier-3 dared not look directly at them.
From a distance, one could only see a tornado, a black hole that swallows everything, a sea of flames, and an ice pillar surrounded by cold mist.
And this was the Natural Disaster, entities so terrifying that even someone as powerful as Tier-3 Transcendents failed to glimpse at their true form.
With them stationed here, not to mention death in battle, even severe injuries were hard to sustain.
But they were there as the final measure. Unless faced with a fatal attack, they would not intervene.
“This time, quite a few promising candidates have emerged.”
“Indeed.”
Nine Tails and Bull Demon conversed and laughed, via the telepathy. However, they were frequently interrupted by an excited voice.
“Look, look, Shadow Tiger once again defeated his opponent in seconds.”
“Uh…”
At this, Nine Tails and Bull Demon could not help but glance at each other, a wry smile appearing on their faces.
Given Shadow Tiger’s strength, it would be strange if he did not defeat his opponents swiftly. After all, a Half-Step Tier-4 Transcendent like him was a rarity even in Misty Mountains. Only a few could stand up to him.
At this moment, as if thinking of something, Nine Tails suddenly spoke, “Those guys should be about to clash, right?”
“It should be soon. As of now, each of them has won 25 matches. It’s about time they meet,” Bull Demon’s deep and majestic voice resonated in the air as his eyes narrowed slightly.
Soon, as if responding to Bull Demon’s thoughts, a voice rang out across the entire Martial Arts Field.
“Next match: Shadow Tiger versus Titan…” With a hint of excitement, a Human Referee shouted loudly.
Like a thunderclap, the announcement shook the minds of countless Mutant Beasts, creating a ripple of excitement.
A stunned look appeared on the faces of Mutant Beasts before they focused their gazes on the ninth battlefield.
Even the four Natural Disasters hovering in the air were stunned and focused on the ninth battlefield.
Even the four great natural disasters of the Martial Arts Conference, including Nine Tails and Bull Demon, turned their attention to it.
Shadow Tiger, a top-tier powerhouse from the second-ranked Clan of Misty Mountains, was known for his formidable strength.
Wherever he went, boundless darkness spread, and shadow-like clones emerged from the darkness at his feet.
His strangeness and terror were beyond ordinary description.
And Titan, as one of the seed candidates, had already attracted the attention of Misty Mountains’ Soaring Purple Python as soon as he appeared. His strength was also not to be underestimated.
The battle between the two Tigers would definitely have a winner and a loser.
This was the focus of countless Mutant Beasts, including Nine Tails and Bull Demon.
“Hehe…” With a smug smile, White Tiger’s proudly declared, “I guess, the top spot will go to Shadow Tiger.”
“Is that so?” Tapping his lips, Nine Tails glanced at the enormous Black Tiger that was slowly rising from the ground.
Then, she looked with interest at a figure, with white as snow fur, in the corner of the Martial Arts Field.
Though merely a White Fox, she exuded an innate charm. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, giving the impression as if she was smiling. Just by lying quietly there, she gave off an air of inexplicable tenderness and exquisiteness, like a water lily, shyly bowing its head.
She was the White Fox Queen of the Green Hill Fox Clan, also known as Bai Lian Er, and was now under Nine Tails’s command.
Having consumed the Lucky Spirit Grass, she possessed formidable Divine Ability. In fact, she was already capable of breaking through to Tier-4. However, for some unknown reason, she had been suppressing her cultivation. Apparently, she was either waiting or practicing some secret technique.
In fact, besides Bai Lian Er, there was also a Black Fox, the Black Fox Queen of Green Hill’s Fox Clan.
After aligning with Misty Mountains, both the White and Black Foxes had been following Nine Tails.
“Unless they get past Bai Lian Er, taking the top spot will not be that easy.” Smiling in her heart, a look of anticipation flashed in Nine Tails’ eyes.
