Wei An Da Shaman was thoroughly shocked by this high and proud gaze with a hint of provocation, where was the original despicable and defeated son? The surging and pure dragon's breath carried his anger, like lightning piercing the sky, dazzling and hot!

  Four Templar Knights sensed hostility from the powerful and aggressive gaze, and the four fully armed knights immediately blocked the body of the Grand Shaman Vian. The hand of the leading Prince Richard lightly pressed on the hilt of the giant cross sword, a pair of equally cold and concentrated gazes locked onto Liu Zhen who was standing at the foot of the stairs.

  "I'm not surprised by your response, but I've heard that every year, each candidate has the opportunity to apply for promotion to the temple, and the temple must provide a corresponding trial task. Honorable Qi Dan Da Shaman, why haven't you issued me a corresponding promotion task yet, and instead denied my long and hard cultivation?" Liu Zhen's words were clear and logical, a far cry from his usual foolish and clumsy self.

  "Your application is indeed justified, the God of War has granted this right." Vian, the Great Shaman, waved his hand and let the knights beside him retreat: "But I'm doing this out of love for you, do you know? Your song power is so shallow, how can you accept the trial of war sacrifice? The war sacrifice is the core strength of the military in the holy altar sacrifice, so their trials are much stricter than other sacrifices. I don't want you to die in vain, after all, the yield of sacrifices in the Northeast Province is not enough for me to squander."

  "After all, I'm not a prodigal son..." Wei An's big Shaman squeezed his small green bean eyes craftily.

  All around was another burst of laughter.

  "Thank you for your concern, but unfortunately, I am a rather stubborn Bimon." Liu Zhen didn't feel the slightest bit of shame, as Hailun had already been promoted to War Sacrifice, and a man's dignity was something he just couldn't swallow.

  "Oh, I see... Well, you've passed the first trial. Your Spiritual War Song was quite familiar, although your magical power wasn't thick enough, but I can still barely let you pass; The next trial is to have a match with our Trial Officer, showcasing both sides' skills in controlling magic beasts and battling. As long as you don't lose within a certain time limit, you'll pass; However, I must remind you that the Rod Priests here all have more than 20 years of cultivation experience, their magic beasts are not inferior to human magicians at all... Are you still willing to accept the challenge?..." On the surface, Wei An, the Great Shaman, seemed very kind and gentle, but in reality, he had already made up his mind to thoroughly defeat this detestable little Pikku, crushing his arrogant and foolish thoughts.

  "I'm willing to accept!" Liu said firmly.

  "Honorable seniors, is there anyone among you who can compare with our 'former' dragon sacrifice?" Vian's gaze swept across the group of sacrificers below.

  "Praise the gods, elder, then let me and my apprentice come and rehearse a scene?" Cui Peishan "swayed" her body and stood in front of the steps of the great shaman Weian.

  "Choi Min-ji, you are also one of the rare dragon worshipers in the kingdom. Is it not too harsh a challenge for you to take on this task?" Vian, the great shaman, said with a wry smile.

  What? This beautiful woman is also a dragon worshipper? Can't tell at all, she's so delicate. Liu Zhen was shocked and raised his head, looking at his master's master, and indeed found an embroidery of a hornless dragon beast with golden thread on the black cuff!

  "Of course, if the Azure Dragon's sacrificial ritual and the orthodox dragon sacrificial ritual were to clash, it would definitely be a losing battle. I'm worried that if your Azure Dragon familiar were to fall into the hands of the dragon sacrificial ritual master, our Wysteria Temple would suffer a terrible loss." Vian's words as the Great Shaman were filled with an inexplicable tone of mockery.

  Old turtle. Liu Zhenhong cursed in his heart at this old thing.

  Guo Guo looked around for half a day, but no one paid attention to its and Liu Zhen's existence. Feeling disheartened, it hung its ears, tucked in its butt, shook its big belly, and went to pee on the side.

  "Haha……" The black-robed priests found today's events to be truly ridiculous, even the most serious and stubborn priest couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Choi Bae-ja, please step aside. I don't mean to belittle your abilities, but I'd rather not have this trial create discord between you and your master." Vian the Great Shaman smiled at the beautiful snake woman.

  "Sir, may I try to test the strength of this dragon worshiper?" A horse-faced old priest walked out from the crowd of priests.

  Liu Zhen looked at him with a tilted head, and he also looked back at Liu Zhen with a scornful gaze that was full of arrogance.

  "Richard, this is a member of the Hausa tribe, Priest Puyo." The beautiful snake-like woman looked at Liu Zhen helplessly and introduced him to the black-robed priest in front of them.

  "It's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Zhenhong gave a courteous chest salute to the noble.

  "Hmm..." The nose of the horse-headed man who was offering sacrifices twitched heavily as he let out a loud sneeze, without even giving him a glance.

  "Spare him, Lord Puyoer..." The beautiful snake slithered away before she leaned in close to the black-robed priest's ear and whispered a sentence that made Liu's heart warm with an unusually sharp sensation.

  This master is quite good. Liu Zhen thought.

  "Let's begin!" The Medusa emblem on the chest of the person who was about to make an offering was removed, and a black light flashed by. A monster with four blades as long as its body, unlike any turtle or pangolin, appeared in the empty trial field. This monster had a hard shell that covered its entire body, made up of numerous hexagonal scales, looking incredibly tough. It also had a long, bony tail as long as one of its blades, resembling a giant wolf-toothed club, covered with sharp quills.

  "Molten Fang Beast!" Helen exclaimed on one side.

  The saber-toothed beast woke up from its hibernation, its narrowed eyes slowly fixed on Liu Zhen and Guo Guo in front of it. A loud sneeze, a cluster of sparks mixed with black smoke was sprayed out of the nostrils covered by scales.

  "This only Ivory Beast is the top Fire-type magical beast, Richard. If you choose to give up now, no one will mock your incompetence." The human-horse hybrid priest Puyoer stared at Liu Zhen.

  Liu Zhenhong replaced his answer with action.

  "Up!" Liu Zhen's little finger hooked, and Guo Guo yelled as he rushed up. He had only run two steps when he fell to the ground with a thud, his fat butt facing the sky, and couldn't get up for a long time.

  "I didn't expect that your way of commanding the demon beast is still at the primary stage of language command." The face of Ren Ma's sacrifice became even more disdainful, "Do you want to continue?"

  Guo Guo supported himself and got up from the ground again. The saber-toothed beast was staring at him, and he was also staring at the saber-toothed beast.

  The saber-toothed beast turned its head and looked at its own sacrifice, and its eyes couldn't be any clearer.

  "Of course, it has to continue." Liu Zhenhong's face was gloomy, mechanically rotating the two blood jade rings on his thumb, considering whether he should take out the goods at the bottom of the box.

  The man on horseback let out a cold snort, and the carved-toothed beast opened its big mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth covered in black smoke, and pounced agilely and quickly to Guo's side, without any clumsiness despite wearing heavy armor.

  Just as it opened its mouth to either spit fire or bite down, Guo Guo "thudded" and fell to the ground on her knees, with her hands clasped together and her little butt shaking violently.

  The carved beast stopped, the human and horse sacrifice also stopped, and all the people around stopped.

  Helen and Cui Peishan's faces turned red in an instant, like a monkey's buttocks. The two masters had only one thought, which was to quickly find a hole in the ground.

  "Haha......" This time, even the serious Wei An Da Shaman couldn't help but laugh and wipe away tears. It was absurd to the extreme. No one expected that this demonic pet would actually beg for mercy. Demonic beasts and their masters share a mental connection, especially ones like "Frost Snow Pichu" that love to imitate. It seems that Long Jie had given his demonic beast a vivid demonstration lesson at some point.

  Just as everyone was laughing uncontrollably, a barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in Guo Guo and Liu Zhen's eyes.

  Guo Guo suddenly jumped up, and her small fist, as tender as a pink peach, pounded on the forehead of the saber-toothed beast that was looking back at her with its head twisted. First came a punch to the eyes, which completely dazed the beast, leaving it seeing stars. Then came a series of heavy punches that landed on its unprotected nose, lips, and eyes.

  Guo Guo fights with a routine, two small legs beautifully crossed jumping rope steps, each punch combines waist strength, the little butt twists and turns, every punch hits the beast's forehead.

  Every time the saber-toothed beast thought of spewing fire to counterattack, it was interrupted by that mountain-like heavy fist. With great difficulty, it opened its eyelids which had been beaten into a mess of dark purple bruises. Its long mouth took in a sharp breath, but before it could make another move, its long snout was already grasped by Guo Guo's two paws, and the black smoke with sparks was squeezed out of its nostrils.

  The people around were laughing so hard they couldn't stop, their mouths dry from laughter, and their faces had already changed to an unimaginable expression.

  Something even more unimaginable happened, the Frost Snow Leopard actually swung the saber-toothed beast in its paws, making a 180-degree turn on the spot, and released it. The heavy saber-toothed beast made a "whooshing" sound as it flew over the heads of the worshipers, crashing into the wall covered with swan feather curtains.

  This collision was too intense, and two of the sturdy bone plates on the saber-toothed beast's body were knocked off. The temple echoed with a dull thud. The saber-toothed beast lived up to its reputation, managing to get back up from the ground, barely supporting its body, shaking its head wildly as it searched for its opponent's tracks everywhere.

  The poor saber-toothed beast was completely stunned by that blow, and Guo Guo was actually standing right in front of it, but it hung its head and looked into the distance.

  Pu Yoer was the first to wake up from his extreme surprise, after all, he was an old-fashioned priest. He immediately used his mental communication ability to point out the direction of attack to the magic beast that had already dazed its head. Guo Guo, this little thing grasped the whiskers under the jaw of the carved-toothed beast, pulled it hard, and pressed down on the neck of the carved-toothed beast with its claws.

  A loud "bang" sound, sparks flying everywhere, the saber-toothed beast's chin dug a huge hole in the hard stone ground. This super-heavy blow completely collapsed the iron-armored saber-toothed beast, which curled up on the ground, its claws scratching a few times before it couldn't get up no matter what.

  Mars and black smoke had completely disappeared, a thread of fresh blood dripped from the corner of the saber-toothed beast's mouth, the corner of the saber-toothed beast's mouth opened, spitting out several bloody teeth.

  Guo Guo got angry and jumped onto the body of the saber-toothed beast, one small paw grasping the beast's nose, while a fist continued to form a heart-piercing fist, continuing to fiercely dig in.

  Haha... My family's ultimate skill "Black Tiger Plucks Heart". Liu Zhen is laughing very cheaply on the side.

  The saber-toothed beast's face was quickly covered in blood, and Guo jumped off its face, picking up bricks from the ground. The granite floor was hard, and there was no way to get a grip on it. It could only sulkily swing its ears, and with one last fierce kick at the saber-toothed beast's forehead, it returned to Liu Zhen's side.

  The human and horse were stunned, staring blankly at their beloved pet that had been beaten to a pulp. The sparks and black smoke coming out of the beast's nose were stuck together with nasal blood into a black lump, only the movement of its four hooves proved its existence.

  The two hands of Pu'er were trembling during the ceremony of worshiping the horse.

  The surrounding worshippers were all dumbfounded, staring incredulously at this overly powerful Snowskin Beast with a huge belly.

  Wei An's eyes suddenly twitched violently without eyebrows, and his wrinkles were pinched into a line.

  A holy kangaroo of the Kangaroo Tribe opened its huge mouth that couldn't be closed for a long time, and muttered like it had suffered a stroke: "This little demon actually knows our Kangaroo Tribe's 'boxing'!"

  "My Guagua has only used half of his strength." Liu Zhen looked at the tall and majestic Sheng Kairui, who bowed slightly with a smile: "Sorry, we forgot to put on our boxing gloves."

  *******************

  Yesterday on QQ, I chatted with brothers about this topic. Today, let me clarify the settings for Beastmen and Human appearances:

  The appearance of beastmen and humans (or perhaps they should be called the Munk tribe's apemen) is roughly the same, both having evolved over millions of years to adapt to the living environment of the Aegean continent. Due to the uniform evolutionary environment on the Aegean continent, just like every bubble in the same air pressure is round, the intelligent life forms on the Aegean continent are basically similar in appearance. Just as bubbles under air pressure will never appear square or triangular, beastmen and humans also do not have excessive racial differences in terms of physical appearance.

  Of course, there are also slight differences between individuals, such as some being tall and others short. The evolution of beastmen is not as perfect as that of humans, and they still retain the unique characteristics of their own race. For example, the fox tribe has a long tail behind its buttocks, the pig tribe's nose is still wide and empty, the cow-headed people still have two horns on their heads, and the Taige tribe has a "king" pattern on their forehead.

  But humans' monkey tail has already degenerated.

  In beastmen, females have a certain probability of giving birth to deformed offspring, that is, the offspring in the form of wild beasts. This kind of offspring is called "beast kin", with little or no wisdom, and completely has the appearance of a wild beast.

  The descendants of human women also have deformities, and can only be without or have only a little wisdom. However, the deformed descendants of humans can still maintain the form of an intelligent being, and we call this kind of deformed descendant "weak-minded" or "idiot".

  Beastmen shouldn't be as boring as some novels depict, only killing and setting fires, looting; they are also "people"! With their robust muscles, they also have hearts, blood vessels, and will die from excessive bleeding. Their emotional world is just as rich, and they will grieve for the loss of loved ones.

  Some classic depictions of beastmen in the past have brought a certain degree of misunderstanding to this book, so it's necessary to clarify here.

  The Boarman are not stupid, they just lack creativity. Compared to the brilliant advanced civilization of humans, they may be relatively backward, but that's just a cultural difference between races.

  This point must be clearly distinguished.

  I think the beastmen are a bit like blacks in our real society, who only use their strong bodies to survive and are not good at using their brains, so they were ravaged by European slave traders. Now? Who dares to say that blacks are not intelligent now?

  The key is that environment and atmosphere shape people, "race" is just a seed, with suitable soil, they can learn anything.

  The beastman is no exception.
