"So amazing! Could it be that Brother Chu Feng wasn't using his full strength before?"
Seeing that Chu Feng had actually gained the upper hand, Yuan Shu was ecstatic.
Truthfully, after their first confrontation, he hadn't held much hope for this second match.
If it weren't for his Master forbidding it, he would have spoken up to stop Chu Feng from asking for trouble. He didn't want Chu Feng to lose four Ancient Spirit Domain fragment maps for nothing.
Because he had started with no expectations, he was now absolutely thrilled by this situation—it was a completely unexpected, pleasant surprise.
"Fengxue, what the hell are you doing?!!!"
Seeing this scene, the Beast Taming Venerable Master was terrified.
He had staked four Ancient Spirit Domain fragment maps on this match.
This confrontation had to be won. Losing was not an option!!!
"Damn it!"
Having been reprimanded by his Master, Li Fengxue, who already looked grim, furrowed his brows even tighter.
With no other choice, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Then, he made the motion of swallowing.
Hummm—
After this motion, a fluctuation began emanating from Li Fengxue's body.
The fluctuation grew stronger, transforming into countless golden, sparkling talismans that circulated around his body.
The next moment, those same talismanic runes appeared upon his barrier formation.
The power of his barrier formation surged dramatically.
"Li Fengxue, how can you be so shameless?"
Seeing this, the good-natured Yuan Shu couldn't help but curse in anger.
Just by looking at those talismans, he could tell Li Fengxue was using means outside his own ability.
He must have consumed a barrier-enhancing pill.
Forbidden barrier pills, much like forbidden martial pills, could boost combat power.
The only difference was that martial pills enhanced martial strength, while barrier pills naturally enhanced barrier power.
Li Fengxue hadn't directly taken out and swallowed a barrier pill in front of everyone, but he must have had one concealed in his mouth, which explained the effect.
Some Spirit World Masters and martial cultivators, just in case, would hide a forbidden pill in their mouths. So in Yuan Shu's eyes, Li Fengxue definitely had a barrier pill hidden in there.
And judging by the significant increase in his barrier power now, the forbidden pill he had swallowed must be exceptionally potent.
"Beast Taming, isn't your disciple going a bit too far?"
"Can't win with his own skill, so he resorts to underhanded tricks?"
Even Master Tang Chen couldn't help but speak up in rebuke.
"Tang Chen, watch your words."
"Before the match began, no one said he couldn't use other means to aid himself."
"That Chu Feng could do the same, if he wished."
The Beast Taming Venerable Master countered.
"You..."
Master Tang Chen was furious at these words.
However, he didn't argue further, having no intention to engage in a war of words with this Beast Taming Venerable Master.
If the other party refused to play by the rules, then he wouldn't feel bound by them either.
He had already made up his mind: if Chu Feng lost this confrontation, he would not allow Chu Feng to hand over the four Ancient Spirit Domain fragment maps to the Beast Taming Venerable Master.
He would declare that Li Fengxue had violated the rules and forfeit the match to him.
Furthermore, he would have this pair of master and disciple expelled from the premises.
"Li Fengxue, what the hell are you doing?!"
Suddenly, the Beast Taming Venerable Master roared.
Moreover, his face had turned extremely unsightly at this moment.
Hearing this, Master Tang Chen also quickly shifted his gaze to the battle between Chu Feng and Li Fengxue.
Only then did he realize that Chu Feng's advantage had actually grown larger than before!
But clearly, Li Fengxue's barrier power had just received a massive boost!!!
"This kind of pressure... could it be that Young Friend Chu Feng has already mastered the Dragon Transformation Second Level?"
In his excitement, Master Tang Chen blurted out the thought.
"Dragon Transformation Second Level?"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu was shocked.
The Beast Taming Venerable Master, however, looked utterly grim.
He could sense that Chu Feng's current barrier power had already reached the level of a Third Rank Supreme.
But a normal Dragon Transformation First Level was only comparable to a Second Rank Supreme.
Chu Feng's barrier power had definitely exceeded the Dragon Transformation First Level.
"This brat... was hiding his true strength?"
"Damn it, I've been tricked!"
The Beast Taming Venerable Master cried out inwardly in alarm.
