Beast power phantoms flashed crazily, the noise shaking heaven and earth. The Back Mountain Toad croaked in pain and suddenly charged at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly and dodged in time.
The Back Mountain Toad was carrying a mountain on its back, its weight huge and speed slow, so Fang Yuan dodged easily.
Using Horizontal Charge Gu and Direct Ram Gu repeatedly, the Back Mountain Toad attacked many times but couldn't even graze Fang Yuan's skin.
Everyone watched dumbfounded.
The Back Mountain Toad, which had been an unshakeable image in everyone's minds, was now being beaten by Fang Yuan and could only howl.
"This kid is so ferocious!" Li Hao watched with shock, gritted his teeth, and made the Back Mountain Toad leap high.
"Brat, I'll smash you into meat paste!" Li Hao grinned, letting out a cold laugh, his murderous intent boiling.
But the shadow cast by the Back Mountain Toad didn't cover Fang Yuan.
Instead, it fell on Li Hao.
The enormous body of the Back Mountain Toad began to descend, crashing heavily towards Li Hao.
Seeing this, most people were stunned and didn't react. Only a few, including Wei Yang, saw through Li Hao's tactic with a glint in their eyes.
Simply using the Back Mountain Toad to smash at Fang Yuan would easily miss.
Fang Yuan had Horizontal Charge Gu and Direct Ram Gu to dodge.
But if the Back Mountain Toad smashed towards Li Hao, Li Hao could use Shift Form Gu to swap positions with Fang Yuan.
If timed well, Fang Yuan would have no time to react and would be crushed to death by the Back Mountain Toad.
With such weight, even if it didn't crush him to death, it would heavily injure him.
But the moment the Back Mountain Toad leaped, Fang Yuan immediately rushed towards Li Hao!
Using Horizontal Charge Gu and Direct Ram Gu together, he quickly arrived beside Li Hao.
"Damn it, he saw through me!" At that moment, Li Hao was extremely annoyed.
Fang Yuan was still some distance away, but if he used Shift Form Gu now, Fang Yuan would have ample time to avoid the Back Mountain Toad's attack.
But if he didn't use it now, once Fang Yuan got close, even if he swapped positions, he wouldn't have time to escape and would be crushed along with Fang Yuan.
With no choice, Li Hao activated Shift Form Gu and swapped positions with Fang Yuan.
Boom!
The Back Mountain Toad crashed to the ground, but Fang Yuan dodged with a Horizontal Charge Gu.
He always paid attention to the timing of using Horizontal Charge Gu and Direct Ram Gu, typically with an interval of three breaths, including the time to charge about fifty steps. In this way, he always had a mobility Gu available.
Small details often determine victory or defeat.
Fang Yuan's rich combat experience from his previous life left him with no flaws.
He charged at the Back Mountain Toad again, striking with fists and kicks, fierce and wild. Beast power phantoms flashed in turn, ferocious and incomparable.
The Back Mountain Toad was once again caught in a storm of attacks, croaking in pain as rocks flew.
The onlookers who had been shouting fell silent.
Many opened their mouths wide, staring in shock at the scene.
The All-Out Effort Gu was used by Fang Yuan so mightily and domineeringly that even the Back Mountain Toad became a punching bag, stuck in a disadvantaged position!
While the battle here was fierce and intense, everything was calm on Li Hao's side.
Li Hao never expected that Fang Yuan would be so persistent in attacking the Back Mountain Toad.
Previous opponents who fought Li Hao would always abandon the Back Mountain Toad and try to attack Li Hao. With Li Hao defeated, the Back Mountain Toad would be nothing to worry about.
That was the smart choice!
But against all odds, Fang Yuan chose the most foolish target.
He focused all his firepower on the Back Mountain Toad, completely ignoring Li Hao.
Li Hao was left to the side, as if he had become an irrelevant spectator, in an awkward position!
Beast power phantoms flickered continuously, intertwining in the air. Fang Yuan circled the Back Mountain Toad, beating it fiercely.
The toad's once massive and imposing figure now seemed so clumsy.
"Not good, the Back Mountain Toad is coughing up blood!" Li Hao, far away, saw this and his hands and feet turned cold.
Shift Form Gu!
A strange light bloomed in his eyes, capturing Fang Yuan.
In an instant, Fang Yuan's vision changed drastically. When he looked closely, he had been moved far away by Li Hao.
Li Hao, on the other hand, had taken Fang Yuan's place and stood beside the Back Mountain Toad.
He stretched out his palms, pressed them against the Back Mountain Toad, and began to heal.
The toad's injuries made him secretly shocked.
He had fought many battles on this training ground, but had never seen such severe injuries.
"Could I lose this battle? Lose to such a young junior? No, impossible!" The strong premonition of defeat appeared in Li Hao's heart for the first time.
Fang Yuan sneered and charged forward.
How could he allow Li Hao to openly heal the Back Mountain Toad right under his nose?
Seeing Fang Yuan rushing over, Li Hao gritted his teeth and had no choice but to stop healing and start running in the opposite direction.
When Fang Yuan reached the Back Mountain Toad, he used Shift Form Gu again.
Thus, he once again stood beside the Back Mountain Toad, while Fang Yuan was far away.
But Fang Yuan didn't mind and continued rushing forward.
Li Hao's healing was constantly interrupted, and Fang Yuan's attacks yielded nothing.
Nevertheless, he kept charging, persevering.
After several rounds, it was Li Hao who voluntarily stopped healing, his expression changing.
This scene baffled many of the onlookers.
But there were still smart people.
"Each of Fang Yuan's charges seems useless, but actually it severely consumes Li Hao's true essence."
"Yes. Although the Shift Form Gu works wonders, it has a drawback: it consumes a large amount of true essence."
"The farther the distance and the stronger the target, the more true essence Li Hao consumes when using Shift Form Gu."
"Fang Yuan bears the strength of two pigs, one crocodile, and one bear, so each time Li Hao uses Shift Form Gu, it consumes a lot of true essence. Plus, he also has to heal the Back Mountain Toad — even the true essence of the third level can't withstand such usage."
Li Hao also realized this,
so he had to stop healing.
His true essence was already running low.
Previously, he had silver true essence of the third level. But now Fang Yuan's cultivation was also at the third level. After these rounds, Fang Yuan had firmly established his advantage in true essence.
