Chapter 119: Contempt from the Big Truck

[Attribute Point +100...]

[Attribute Point +100...]

Although the Dragon Turtle only managed to withstand the vehicle's front, without attacking, the attribute points it could gain were very limited.

However, this creature was also extremely proud, showing no intention of attacking, seemingly dismissing any assault as beneath its notice.

It looked very much like how I had felt half an hour ago.

With the bloodlines of two ancient Divine Beasts, the True Dragon and the Black Tortoise, the Dragon Turtle's nature was inherently arrogant.

After all, being born with a Divine Beast Bloodline meant it started life at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and, with just a bit of cultivation, would become a Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast.

The Dragon Turtle's movements were lazy, its demeanor arrogant, its gaze scornful, paying no heed to anything around it.

The people below the platform watched, dumbstruck.

The sight of a creature standing up to the Ironblood War Chariot was truly an eye-opener for them, especially since the fierce-looking Demonic Beasts before had not even managed to break through the front of the vehicle.

"No wonder it's a Dragon Turtle, truly mighty and extraordinary, to singlehandedly halt this Steel Behemoth!"

"Yes, with the bloodline of the True Dragon, its strength and attacking power are unmatched, and with the Black Tortoise's bloodline, its defensive power is equally astonishing. Moreover, judging by the aura it's emanating, it is likely an experienced Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beast."

"If the Golden Spear Overlord had faced it before, it probably would have had no chance of winning."

"This Beast Tamer is terrifying. If he tames a few more Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beasts, won't he be able to do whatever he pleases?"

"Do you think Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beasts are as common as cabbages, that one could tame them as they like?"

The cultivators below the stage were abuzz with discussion. They all were eager to know, between Blood Demon Ye Liangchen and the Beast Tamer, whose mount was more powerful.

On the high platform, several Elders wore serious expressions.

"This is a Dragon Turtle, Brother Feng, do you remember the saying that our master spoke of when he left for the west on his crane?" An Elder asked, frowning.

"Who is practicing Tai Chi, stirring the wind and the waves?"

"Cough cough, Elder Brother, our master would not be pleased with such talk…"

"Hehe, just a joke. We, of course, dare not forget our master's words. The Dragon Turtle is a symbol of fate, unseen in times of peace but dominating in times of chaos. It's said that the emergence of a Dragon Turtle signifies the world will soon plunge into turmoil."

Feng Qingyang's expression was grave as he unblinkingly stared at the Dragon Turtle, Jin Lichuan's mount.

Combining what had been seen and heard today, it was hard not to think in that direction.

After all, the normally weaker Northern Region had presented so many extraordinary individuals today. The number was so unusually high that, in chaotic times, fortune is shared among more such talents, and the emergence of these talents also signaled the forthcoming chaos.

"This matter, we must surely report to the Sect Leader."

"When this is over, I will go back and inform the Sect Leader," Feng Qingyang stated.

Right now, what was most important was for the two sides to quickly determine a winner. If Li Xiaobai's mount could overcome the Dragon Turtle, then the theory of an impending chaotic era would become even more credible.

Li Xiaobai had no idea of what everyone else was thinking.

On the stage, Li Xiaobai sat leisurely in the driver's seat, leisurely puffing on his Huazi. Rings of smoke followed one after another, while Spirit Stones were thrown into the fuel box.

The roar of the engine rose above the last, the explosive sounds tearing through the sky, and the platform directly caved under the weight of the wheels, revealing two huge pits.

Jin Lichuan's eyes changed. Even without directly encountering a heavy-duty truck, he could feel the suddenly enhanced horsepower and the immense pressure that came with it.

"Ba Xia, how is it, can you hold up?"

```

"Easy peasy, child's play," the Dragon Turtle said with his eyes half-closed, clearly not taking the big truck seriously.

Li Xiaobai felt surprised; this was the third talking Demonic Beast he had encountered, besides Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing.

It should be noted that Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing could talk only because the System provided them with Elixirs.

The fact that this Dragon Turtle could speak on his own was truly out of the ordinary.

However, this arrogant demeanor was exactly like that of Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing. Were all talking Demonic Beasts like this?

A mere old deep-water turtle was looking down on him.

This was unacceptable.

With a flick of his wrist, another dozen top-grade Spirit Stones were thrown in; he was now a big spender, turning into a pay-to-win player was nothing to him.

A dozen top-grade Spirit Stones later, the truck's momentum had increased several fold.

The Dragon Turtle's expression changed, and his claws suddenly trembled, his eyes fixed in amazement on the Steel Behemoth before him.

"Ba Xia, how is it now?" Jin Lichuan asked, feeling a bit anxious. The Dragon Turtle didn't like to attack proactively, and he had no other means to restrain Li Xiaobai.

"This guy's kinda interesting. You step down; the old turtle will accompany it for a round."

Without waiting for Jin Lichuan to respond, the Dragon Turtle stood upright and shook him off.

Jin Lichuan was speechless, dammit, can't you give some face? There's an audience watching!

"Kid, you've got some strength. There aren't many in this world who can withstand a claw from the old turtle—count yourself as one," the Dragon Turtle said arrogantly.

"However, the chances of you injuring the old turtle are slim. In this world, only the old turtle can injure himself. You'd better save your strength and step down."

The Dragon Turtle's attitude was extremely haughty, his small eyes steadily gazing at the Steel Behemoth in front of him; sadly, the big truck was just a truck and couldn't respond.

Inside the driver's seat, Li Xiaobai had a strange expression on his face. Why did that sound so familiar?

It seemed to be his own line. Was he this annoying when he said it?

High defensive power, endless provocation, annoying speech—looking at the old turtle before him, it was just like seeing his own clone!

No more words needed, he just kept on pushing. Today, he would clash with him; in this world, there could only be one show-off!

With a flick of his hand, he threw dozens more top-grade Spirit Stones into the fuel tank.

The truck's engine went from roaring to a tremendous explosive sound. Wisps of smoke rose from the platform, with sparks flying around now and then.

It was due to the truck's impact being so fierce that it was sparking from friction with the ground.

In an instant, the Dragon Turtle's body stiffened, unconsciously using another claw, sliding back a bit before forcefully stopping the truck once again.

On the ground, the Dragon Turtle's hind claws were deeply entrenched in the ravines of the earth.

"Damn it, what breed is this? It can withstand the primordial power of the old turtle!" For the first time, the Dragon Turtle truly regarded its opponent.

But it was too late; the heavy truck was now at full power, and the Dragon Turtle had to muster all its strength just to withstand the pressure. Its best opportunity to counterattack had been missed due to its arrogance.

Watching this scene, Li Xiaobai chuckled once more.

Casually taking out a few top-grade Spirit Stones, he tossed them into the fuel tank.

Li Xiaobai: "What now, still feeling cocky?"

Ba Xia: "..."
