CHAPTER 5

"Leave it to me; I'll make the Taotie Camp and Qiongqi Camp recruits too afraid to step into the ring."

Zhang Hao was taken aback by Xu Mo's calm demeanor and dominating presence.

While Zhang Hao was still processing this, Xu Mo had already stepped onto the ring.

At this moment, the system displayed the personal panel after his bloodline awakening.

[Host: Xu Mo]

[Bloodline: Chongming Bird]

[Fusion degree: ·10%]

[Ability: Power to lift the sky]

After reading the contents of his personal panel, Xu Mo felt more confident.

As he stood there, the system sent another notification to his mind.

[Random mission triggered: Defeat the challengers from Qiongqi Camp, Taotie Camp, and Yingzhu Camp.]

[Winning reward: Chongming Bird Fusion +20%]

Without any hesitation, Xu Mo accepted the mission. In fact, whether he had a mission or not, he intended to defeat the recruits from the other three battalions.

If he couldn't handle these opponents after awakening the blood of a divine beast, he might as well be a piece of tofu.

"Huh?" Wang Qiang looked puzzled as he observed Xu Mo, who stood motionless on the opposite side. The recruits below the ring also appeared confused.

"What's going on? Why is that new recruit from the Chaos Camp just standing there without saying a word?"

"Yeah, it's like he's been dumbstruck. Is he trembling in fear when he sees Brother Qiang up close?"

"I can't say. I was shocked by Brother Qiang's extraordinary physique the first time I met him."

"Hahaha... This is interesting. Could the Chaos Camp be admitting defeat this time?"

"You can count on it! Hahaha..."

Hearing the chatter from his fellow recruits below the ring, Wang Qiang proudly grinned.

"Young man from the Chaos Camp, you seem rather foolish. Don't worry, I'll give you a chance to surrender. Admit defeat now and save yourself from looking bad later."

"Who gave you the confidence to talk like that? Do you want to fight? If you're afraid and surrender, I can reluctantly let you off."

When it came to challenging others, Xu Mo had no fear.

"Damn, is Xu Mo really this formidable? Why didn't we notice it before?"

"No, can Xu Mo truly defeat the strong from Qiongqi Camp?"

"Impossible? Xu Mo has just inherited the Xingyao Nine Star bloodline, and it's from a divine beast. How could he lose?"

"Uh, is that so?"

The Chaos Camp recruits, looked at the mismatched pair on the ring with surprise and doubt.

"Young man, you've asked for it!" Wang Qiang's eyes widened with anger, and his aura surged.

A tempest formed on the ring, and right behind Wang Qiang, a phantom of a beast suddenly materialized.

It was a monster over four meters in length and over two meters tall. Scales covered its body, its legs were erect, and it had sharp claws.

"A Velociraptor? And a giant Velociraptor! Amazing!"

"No wonder the Qiongqi Camp Commander dared to challenge us, he as a golden-level, nine-star bloodline Velociraptor. But it's nothing!"

Luan Hua's eyes widened when he saw the Velociraptor figure behind Wang Qiang.

"Could it be? Chang Liwei is going for first place again this year!"

Li Dan's lips trembled as he glanced at his recruit.

As expected, none of his recruits dared to meet his gaze.

"It's just average, a mere nine golden stars. Hahaha..."

Chang Liwei laughed, his tone not overly arrogant, but his expression clearly showed otherwise.

"Old Wan, which of your new recruits inherited this bloodline today? It's impressive that he dares to step into the ring. Tell you what, I'll ask Wang Qiang not to hit too hard later. Don't worry!"

When Chang Liwei said this, he moved closer to Wan Jun, but Wan Jun remained indifferent, as if he was unaffected by the events in the arena.

"Don't worry; I won't let Xu Mo act carelessly. I will make sure of it," Wan Jun silently fumed.

On the ring, Xu Mo glanced at the Velociraptor phantom behind Wang Qiang and then lowered his gaze.

As a Velociraptor nine-star bloodline user, was Wang Qiang really so daunting? Xu Mo decided it was time to display his own dominance.

Whoosh...

A sudden surge of power coursed through Xu Mo, and his bloodline beast materialized behind him.

The appearance of the Chongming Bird unleashed a burst of pressure that radiated outward from the ring. All the recruits below, except those from the Chaos Camp, staggered back.

Wang Qiang was taken aback and frowned as he looked at the strange bird that Xu Mo had summoned.

A strange bird? What kind of bloodline was this? Why did it emit such intense pressure?

Then he laughed evilly and launched a powerful punch towards Xu Mo.

"Since you've stepped onto the ring, it's time to fight! You're no match for me; it would be wise to surrender now and save yourself from humiliation."

Xu Mo had chosen his course of action. After challenging three other battalions, he was fully prepared to face Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang's punch was delivered with all his strength, enveloped in the power of his recently fused bloodline beast. It was a fierce blow aimed at Xu Mo's face.

A crackling sound filled the air, and faint sparks appeared as Wang Qiang's powerful fist connected with Xu Mo's palm. The impact generated a visible shockwave that radiated out from the ring.

However, Xu Mo simply raised his left hand, with fingers wide open, and effortlessly intercepted Wang Qiang's punch.

With a resounding clash, their fists and palms met, and a visible shockwave rippled outwards.

But that was all!

Wang Qiang's face turned red, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth as he attempted to withdraw his fist, but it remained firmly in Xu Mo's grasp. Regardless of how hard he struggled, he couldn't move it an inch.

Everyone present was left stupefied by this scene.

Chang Liwei, who had initially been surprised, suddenly burst into laughter again.

"This can't be real, it's too unbelievable!"

"Are Chaos Camp and Qiongqi Camp staging a fake fight? Who's pulling the strings?"

"It can't be, right? How could Qiongqi Camp be in a staged battle with the Chaos Camp?"

"Then how do you explain this?"

"I have no idea..."

Xu Mo looked calmly at Wang Qiang, who was still trying to retrieve his fist, and smiled. Wang Qiang's face had turned purple, but he couldn't escape Xu Mo's grip.

"How is this happening?" Chang Liwei exclaimed in disbelief.
