Section 23 One hit wins! Why is that?

  The cultivation of a demon beast is the main reference standard for its strength. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the strength.

  It is further divided into five levels: infant demon, small demon, big demon, spirit demon and calamity demon.

  1-9 years old is a young demon, 10-99 years old is a small demon.

  Chu Yun claimed to outsiders: His demonic beast was a variant fire fox with 8 years of cultivation. This level was that of an infant demon.

  But Shu's big sea explosion crocodile has passed the little demon tribulation, 15 years of cultivation. Has been promoted from young demon to small demon level.

  Every time they cross the demon calamity, the demon beast will undergo a qualitative leap. When young demons see small demons and big demons see spiritual demons, they often lose their fighting spirit and surrender without a fight.

  This natural phenomenon was summarized by the Onmyouji as "Rank Suppression".

  The existence of hierarchical suppression has a significant impact on the reproduction and development of demon beasts. Countless wild demon beasts, when faced with powerful enemies, can thus preserve their weak lives and leave room for development.

  However, in the eyes of San Lao and others, due to this rank suppression, no matter how hard Chu Yun trained the fire fox, this battle was also doomed to be a losing one.

  "Rank suppression, rank suppression......" Old Hong muttered to himself, very unwilling.

  Qiao Old Monkey frowned and let out a sigh of regret, "Alas, if we had known earlier, us three old brothers could have also chipped in to buy some Earthly Spirit Stones for Chu Yunzi!"

  "Who would have thought that Mrs. Shu was so treacherous! Look at her expression, she's determined to pass this assessment!" Old Fish King sighed.

  The three old men shifted their gaze to Madame Shu, who had a smirk on her face and an air of superiority. The three men let out a cold hum in unison, having no good impression of Madame Shu whatsoever.

  Mrs. Shi married into the Shi family on Shi Island and opened a Ning family store on Shi Island, almost doubling in number every year. Mrs. Shi and her natal family colluded to suppress the material procurement prices of the people of Shi Island, extorted cheap labor, exploited and deducted wages, and even forced buying and selling.

  Over the years, the Ning family business group has amassed a fortune from Shu's Island. Just look at how lavishly Mrs. Shu spends money now and you can imagine.

  The Earth Altar's Royal Demon Master also secretly sighed in his heart: "Rank suppression is indeed a powerful thing, Hai Bao Xie has too much of an advantage."

  He didn't think much of Chu Yun. In decades of memories, there had never been one who could bear the weight of his position and successfully challenge him.

  Rank suppression can cause a party that is already weak to have their combat power reduced by half. The weak become weaker, the strong become stronger.

  The onlookers around also sighed, all thinking that the outcome of this battle was already a foregone conclusion.

  "It's true, rank suppression ignores the monster's grade. Even if it's a top-grade young fox spirit, when faced with a mid-grade small monster like the martial arts crab, it will be suppressed. Its combat strength drops to half... But... my fox spirit is also of a low monster grade!"

  Chu Yun's face was calm, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. His Tian Huo had successfully passed the Little Demon Tribulation at the time of its incubation. To avoid shocking the world, Chu Yun declared that he only had 8 years of cultivation.

  Among all the people present, only he himself was clear about this truth.

  Everyone was kept in the dark by him.

  But it's no wonder, the truth is indeed beyond human expectation. How rare and precious is a top-grade demon beast? Who would have thought that the mutated fire fox in front of them was actually a top-grade heavenly fox!

  They couldn't have imagined it and didn't dare think about it either.

  If it were a young fox of the Tianhuo rank facing off against a small demon of the Haibao rank, Chu Yun wouldn't have been able to win either. This was because the gap in their abilities was too great, rendering any tactics or strategies useless.

  However, the Xiao Yao stage's Tian Hu, against the same stage's Hai Bao E, both sides' cultivation differed by only 5 years. Chu Yun must win this time, or he would be unworthy of his two lifetimes!

  So, under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, he calmly gave the order: "Launch a surprise attack, use the Leaping Technique!"

  The Celestial Fox let out a battle cry, its four hooves spread wide as it charged forward like lightning, heading straight for the massive Sea Exploding Crocodile.

  "What, in this situation, Chu Yun actually still wants to take the initiative to attack?" Old Red Gun was shocked.

  Qiao Lao Houzi widened his eyes and shouted, "Look! Losing the battle doesn't mean losing the man! This kid may seem gentle and calm on the surface, but deep down he's just as fierce and brave as Island Master!"

  "Hmph, you're courting death." Madame Shu snorted coldly in her heart, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

  "Die!" Shu Da's face twisted to the extreme, he let out a loud roar, "Hai Bao E, water bullet injection, blast it to pieces for me, blow it up!"

  A small fox, unexpectedly dares to be so arrogant in front of my sea explosive alligator.

  Shu Da felt his dignity was being offended, his irritable temper burst out, and he couldn't bear it!

  Bang!

  The sea-bursting crocodile opened its mouth and spat out a blue water bullet, which shot rapidly towards the rushing Heavenly Fox. The Heavenly Fox's cultivation was 5 years weaker than that of the sea-bursting crocodile, so if this water bullet hit it, it would definitely injure its tendons and bones.

  At this moment, time seemed to slow down suddenly. Just as the water bullet was about to hit Tian Hu,

  "Hehehe." Madame Shu finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

  "Damn it!" The three old men's eyes suddenly widened, and their hearts jumped up to their throats.

  Everyone's attention was focused on Tian Hu, and no one noticed the smile at the corner of Chu Yun's mouth.

  If it were someone else, they would probably be frantic and shouting to dodge. But he didn't. He deeply believed in the spiritual nature of Tian Hu, enough to take control himself and avoid this attack.

  "Heavenly Fox! Heavenly Fox!" he shouted in his heart—

  "Rise to the challenge in this war! Show off your brilliance, reap glory, you were born to live under the gaze of wonder and admiration. My past self wronged you, but let's join hands in this life, change our fate, and fight against the world!"

  Who can understand the turmoil in Chu Yun's heart at this moment?

  There is no one in this world who can understand his feelings at this moment!

  Those countless years of oppression, those countless years of depression, those countless years of bitter hardship, those countless years of frustration and regret... All sorts of things, as if they had found an outlet for venting at this moment!

  At this moment, like a rolling heavenly river, pouring down——

  Expressing

  "Charge ahead, Tenko! Launch a shockwave into the future, fate... Let this moment be the starting point - change now!"

  As if hearing Chu Yun's call in her heart, Tian Hu's speed increased again!

  Like a white light, lightly folded, it easily and effortlessly brushed past the blue water droplets.

  Cries of surprise erupted.

  "What a fast speed, how can it be so fast?" Shu Da's heart was shocked, his eyes widened, and he hastily roared: "Water bullet, shoot for me! Shoot! Shoot!"

  "Wrong command, the power of water bullet is higher than that of Xiao Dan fire, but the firing speed is lower. With just a water bullet, how can I stop my Tian Hu!" Chu Yun sneered in his heart, with a sharp glint in his eyes, and as soon as he entered the combat state, he seemed to have become a different person.

  Sharp and revealing, like a sharp sword out of its scabbard, making people unable to look directly.

  As expected, Tian Hu made a few quick turns and dodged the water bullets. After flying around, she arrived in front of Hai Bao E.

  The crocodile's face was ferocious, its big mouth open wide, and a brand new water bullet was brewing inside.

  Chu Yun's eyes lit up in front of him, an opportunity!

  "Aim at the opponent's mouth and spray a small fireball."

  At the sound of the command, the Celestial Fox swiftly opened its mouth and shot out a fireball. The fireball accurately flew into the giant crocodile's mouth, causing an explosion due to the incompatibility of water and fire.

  Bang!

  After the explosion, the crocodile fell on its back, its four limbs convulsed, and black smoke came out of its mouth. It actually fainted on the spot!

  The whole scene was silent and still.

  Everyone was stunned.

  Only Chu Yun's cloud-like voice was light and gentle, softly calling out. The Heavenly Fox returned to his feet, crying out in a self-congratulatory manner, with a hint of smugness in its black gemstone-like eyes.

  "Good job." Chu Yun generously praised, stroking Tian Hu's small head, making the latter so happy that his eyes narrowed. The snow-white fluffy big tail swayed leisurely behind him.

  "What?! How could this be?! Haebaragi, get up for me!" Shū's face was filled with an expression of utter disbelief as he yelled at the fallen Haebaragi.

  The crocodile exploded at sea, but it showed no reaction, and the black smoke in its mouth was still spewing out.

  The crowd around him finally reacted. With a loud noise, it burst open.

  "What did I just see?! That Fire Fox just took down the Sea Explosion Crocodile with one hit?!" someone shouted in disbelief.

  "Hai Bao has gone too far, actually condensing water bullets in front of his opponent. As a result, the power of the water bullet and Xiao Dan fire all exploded within his body." Someone calmly analyzed.

  Many people nodded in agreement.

  "Some people are also puzzled: "Strange, why is that Fire Fox still so energetic? It's as if the suppression of ranks doesn't exist.""

  For a time, people around were discussing and expressing great concern about this unexpected battle.

  Mrs. Shu's face was very pale.

  Face turned pale and bloodless.

  Her body stiffened, as if she were a wooden puppet paired with a sandalwood chair. Her eyes also looked dull and confused, unable to understand, really unable to understand!

  Everything was going well, but suddenly the situation changed dramatically, leaving her at a loss.

  The moment before, she had almost seen the tiny body of Tian Hu being hit by the water bullet. But in the next moment, the tall Sea Exploding Crocodile fell down.

  And this fall was one from which he never recovered.

  "Why? Why is it like this?" Mrs. Shu exclaimed in her heart, why did such a thing happen? It's completely the opposite of what I expected!

  She can't accept this fact.

  But facts are facts after all. No matter how bizarre they may be, as long as they have indeed occurred, they are the best proof in this world.

  "The first match, Chu Yun's Huo Hu wins! Next up, the second match is Chu Yun versus Shu Er." At this time, Di Tan also finally reacted. The words he spoke out made even himself feel unbelievable.

  That mutated fox actually won?

  Why is it like this?

  This experienced demonic cultivator was also filled with doubts at this moment. However, it was not the time to investigate, and the assessment had to continue.

  Shu Er walked off the court.

  Madam Shu's whole body trembled, as if grasping the last straw. She stood up with a shrill cry, completely losing her elegant demeanor: "Shu Er, mother's good son! Get Chu Yun to kneel down for me!"

  "That's for sure!" Shu Er raised his toes high, with a disdainful gaze cast at Chu Yun, his attitude even more arrogant than Shu Da. "You tricked me into losing the battle and actually made Shu Da fall! Hmph, your good luck ends here!! What are you? I, Shu Er, will defeat you in front of my mother today! Green Snake, come out!"

  Chu Yun rubbed her nose and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes: "How do I feel like this speech is somewhat familiar? Didn't Shu Da just say that?"
