Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
At the entrance to the Myriad Beast Altar, a figure in a cyan robe was walking slowly towards them.
His steps were leisurely, his expression indifferent, as if he were not here for a test concerning reputation and strength, but simply taking a casual stroll after a meal.
It was none other than Chen Ping!
By his side, the little fire qilin followed closely, its golden eyes curiously surveying the surrounding crowd and the glowing beast soul array.
“He came?! He actually dared to show up?”
“Arriving only now? The assessment is almost over!”
“Hmph, putting on an act! He probably saw the previous challengers fail to break the array and thought it had been worn down, so he wants to take advantage!”
Mockery and doubt rose once more, but compared to the unrestrained scorn earlier, it carried less confidence and more surprise and uncertainty.
After all, he had truly appeared.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu were overjoyed, and half the worry in their hearts eased.
Senior was indeed not someone who would shrink from battle!
Chen Ping paid no attention to the discussions around him. He walked straight to the front of the altar, his gaze sweeping over the flashing lights and continuous beast roars of the Three Talents Beast Soul Array. His brows lifted slightly, as if he felt… disappointed?
He raised his head to look at the Sect Master Lie Tian and the various elders on the high platform, then spoke in a flat tone. “This is the very powerful Three Talents Beast Soul Array you spoke of?”
Elder Yu Sha was provoked by his attitude and sneered. “Boy, arriving only now, are you afraid? If you are afraid, kowtow and admit your mistake, confess that your earlier words were nothing but empty boasts. Perhaps you can still preserve some face!”
Chen Ping shook his head, as if he had not heard Yu Sha’s mockery, and continued on his own. “This array looks… rather too simple. Dealing with an array of this level is truly somewhat uninteresting.”
He paused, and under the stunned gazes of everyone present, he made a request that caused an uproar throughout the venue.
“Does your Myriad Beast Sect have any more difficult arrays? Bring one out to play with.”
The crowd: “…”
For a moment, the entire Myriad Beast Altar fell into deathly silence.
Everyone stared at Chen Ping as if he were a madman.
Too simple?
Uninteresting?
Bring one out to play with?
Did he even know what he was saying?
This was the Three Talents Beast Soul Array that could easily defeat even peak fourth-grade Heavenly Immortals!
Yet a seventh-grade Human Immortal dared to call it too simple?
And wanted something even harder?
After a brief silence came an even more explosive outburst!
“Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!”
“I have never seen someone so ignorant of life and death!”
“Has he lost his mind? Or is he deliberately here to mock our Myriad Beast Sect?”
Elder Yu Sha trembled with rage, pointing at Chen Ping. “Insolent child, how dare you insult our Myriad Beast Sect like this! This beast soul array is a secret transmission of our sect. How can you belittle it? If you have the ability, break this array first before spouting big words!”
Even the Sect Master Lie Tian frowned slightly, feeling that Chen Ping’s words were overly boastful.
Elder Xiong Tuo narrowed his eyes even further, seemingly reassessing this young man.
Chen Ping, hearing this, let out a soft sigh, as if somewhat helpless. “Very well, since you insist…”
He said no more. Under countless gazes filled with anger, contempt, or curiosity, he took one step forward. His figure flickered like a phantom and lightly drifted into the infamous Three Talents Beast Soul Array.
“It’s started! He has entered!”
“Let’s see how many breaths he can last!”
“He is courting humiliation!”
The three core disciples inside the array saw Chen Ping enter. Although they too thought him arrogant, they did not dare slacken and immediately unleashed their full power.
The giant force demonic ape phantom roared, throwing a punch that carried the force to shatter mountains and split stones.
The wind-splitting leopard phantom turned into a streak of light, its sharp claws tearing through the air as it aimed straight for Chen Ping’s throat.
The profound armoured rhinoceros phantom emitted a barrier as heavy as a mountain, sealing off Chen Ping’s retreat.
The three great beast souls combined, their might shaking heaven and earth. The disciples below the altar felt a palpitation in their hearts.
Yet, faced with this encirclement that would make an ordinary fifth-grade Heavenly Immortal pale, Chen Ping simply stood still. He did not even summon his Dragon-Slaying Sword.
Just as the frenzied attacks were about to strike his body,
Chen Ping moved.
