Xu Xin recognized the red-clad general immediately as Rairakku.
I just don't know how long I can hold out under him.
"Xu Xin, once you step into that red circle, he will make a move on you," Liu Erlong explained.
General Rairakku is represented by a red halo, while General Midori is represented by a green halo, and so on.
Xu Xin nodded slightly and walked inside under the gazes of the others.
"How many rounds do you think our Lord can last? No, how many punches can he withstand?"
Dugu Bo smiled and looked at the three women, asking curiously.
"It should be a close fight."
Ah Yin said in a low voice. She still had a lot of confidence in Xu Xin, but after just going through that battle, she was still a little unsure of herself.
"Xu Xin has undergone the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, so he should be able to withstand a few rounds," Liu Erlong said.
Bi Ji nodded in agreement: "The Palace Master's physique is very strong; he should be stronger than all of us."
Dugu Bo blushed. "Is that so?"
Never mind, we'll just wait and see.
At this moment, Xu Xin had already stepped into the red halo.
General Rairakku, seemingly soulless, sensed someone entering and instantly his strength rose to level 53, just like Xu Xin.
Xu Xin absorbed the Soul Ring and leveled up to level 52. After absorbing the Evil God Wings, his level reached level 53.
General Rairakku twisted his neck, his eyes glowing red, and grinned to reveal sharp teeth. He clashed his fists together and then slammed them towards Xu Xin.
A red fist the size of a sandbag aimed straight at Xu Xin's forehead.
Xu Xin dared not be careless. General Rairakku in front of him would not show any mercy. Xu Xin's soul power surged, and he raised his fist to meet the attack heavily.
With a loud bang, Xu Xin was sent flying and his body slammed against the invisible wall.
The red halo formed a light curtain, trapping Xu Xin and General Rairakku inside. Either Xu Xin defeats General Rairakku, or General Rairakku is defeated by Xu Xin; otherwise, they cannot get out.
Xu Xin landed heavily on the ground, feeling soreness all over his body.
"So strong."
Xu Xin muttered to himself, "General Rairakku's punch seems to have been delivered with full force."
At this moment, he finally understood why Bi Ji could only withstand three punches—those were three full-force punches, not to mention that Bi Ji was a support-type soul beast.
Twisting his neck, Xu Xin rushed forward, his movements becoming increasingly skilled as he dodged and punched General Rairakku.
General Rairakku's reaction speed and punching speed were both at full speed, and his stamina seemed inexhaustible. He was able to accurately block Xu Xin's punches every time.
Xu Xin continuously used the fighting techniques in his mind, unleashing one deadly move after another on General Rairakku.
General Rairakku's fighting skills are also top-notch, far superior to Xu Xin, a novice.
Even though Xu Xin is using a variety of moves, he is still being suppressed and has no chance to retaliate.
"Have you noticed that the Palace Lord's combat techniques seem somewhat similar to those of General Rairakku?"
Dugu Bo, having lived for so many years, immediately figured it out.
The three women nodded: "It's not just like that, I feel that the Palace Master is honing, or even perfecting, his combat skills."
"However, he can't win like this."
The group chatted amongst themselves. Xu Xin had been fighting for quite some time, and it was clear that his stamina was waning, while General Rairakku was not, always going all out in his attacks.
Given this shift in power dynamics, Xu Xin is destined to lose.
Not to mention, Xu Xin is just a guy who has just received the inheritance of martial arts.
boom!
After another collision, Xu Xin was once again sent flying.
Gasping for breath, Xu Xin pressed his aching shoulder and shook his fist, which was sore from the impact.
Xu Xin lightly stomped his foot, and the surrounding dark energy surged into his body. His soul power began to run rampant, and his level 53 soul power instantly flooded into his limbs and bones.
The intertwining of dark energy and soul power, with the Tara Mask acting as a transit point, draws these two energies together, altering Xu Xin's body.
Xu Xin's clothes were falling apart; the clothes he hadn't had time to change into because of the Evil God Wings were now completely gone.
His muscles began to expand at a visible speed, and a tearing sound came from within them. The impact of dark energy and soul power made his muscles grow to be enormous.
The next moment, Xu Xin's entire body turned red, even his muscles were red. Wearing the Tara mask, he looked no different from Tara from Jackie Chan Adventures.
For Xu Xin to transform into this form, three things are indispensable: the dark energy of the Ghost Kingdom, soul power, and the Tara Mask.
Dark energy and soul power are equivalent to genetic modification agents, and the Tara Mask is a conversion station that converts dark energy and soul power into genetic modification agents.
With his arms outstretched, Xu Xin felt fantastic. Looking at himself, he thought, "Have I turned into Tara?"
Xu Xin smiled faintly, glanced at General Rairakku in front of him, and at that moment, he felt that he was capable again.
Waving his fist, Xu Xin threw a punch, and a terrifying whooshing sound echoed through the sky. Xu Xin's punching speed was even faster, and the two red fists collided in mid-air.
This time, Xu Xin was not defeated by General Rairakku; the two were evenly matched.
Powerful. Xu Xin could only feel the power of this form. Before he transformed, if they clashed, he would have been the one to fly out. But now, he was able to maintain his balance steadily.
However, it's still too early to defeat General Rairakku.
General Rairakku was skilled in combat and threw Xu Xin away with an over-the-shoulder throw. Xu Xin reacted quickly and got up to attack again.
Two red figures kept colliding within the circle of light...
"The Palace Master is incredibly powerful. Do you know what this crimson form means?"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard. If it were when the Palace Master was being bestowed a title, he didn't know if he could even withstand two punches in this form alone...
Ah Yin shook her head: "Could it be because of the trial, as Xu Xin said?"
Liu Erlong and Bi Ji exchanged a glance. They didn't know either. Xu Xin hadn't said anything either. They didn't understand anything.
But to be fair, this muscular guy is actually quite handsome.
Serious, gives a strong sense of security, very good.
Liu Erlong swallowed hard, completely captivated. She was genuinely interested in Xu Xin; for some reason, she really wanted to touch his muscles.
Time passed slowly, and Xu Xin eventually fell into a disadvantageous position. General Rairakku remained in a winning state. In the end, Xu Xin's physical strength was exhausted and his soul power was depleted. He was sent flying by General Rairakku's punch.
Along with Ah Yin and the others, they were also taken out of General Rairakku's trial space.
Xu Xin slumped in his seat, his whole body aching; he had been badly beaten.
After Tara's form was deactivated, Xu Xin was completely exhausted. Fortunately, the surrounding dark energy was slowly replenishing his energy, otherwise he would have fallen asleep immediately.
