Chapter 617: Unexpected (2)

“Fourth place, fourth place! What right does a mere human have to be in fourth place?! Dammit!!”
Compared to Shen Ping’s ranking, the strongest prodigy of the Devil Clan, Bai Xin, had only rushed to the eighth place. Although it was still early, it still made the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign furious.
He pushed open the wooden door of the seventh wooden house valley. The stench in the air assaulted his face. Almost instantly, a huge scorpion-like creature with poisonous thorns attacked.
Bang!
Shen Ping’s reaction was very fast. As the blood-colored patterns on the spear bloomed, the tip of the spear stabbed out fiercely. However, this stab did not pierce through easily like the sixth one before. Instead, it only sent it flying. This surprised him.
“The seventh wooden house valley is indeed extraordinary. No wonder only the strongest prodigy who has comprehended the scale armor level can pass this level!”
The beast blood seemed to be a level lower than the scales, but the difference was like the difference between clouds and mud. This was because the scales that had fused with the laws of heaven and earth could already erupt with the true power of the strange beast, not a portion of its power.
However, Shen Ping’s eyes were burning with fighting spirit. The higher the difficulty, the better.
Boom! The blood light emitted by the silver spear suddenly changed, forming a large number of translucent blood lines. These blood lines were like the veins of the world, connecting to the spear itself. They covered an area of several kilometers. This was the second form of the Primordial Chaos Spear, the Aerial Spear.
As long as it was within the range of the blood line, the spear could almost reach the enemy in an instant, and it could immediately shrink back. It was much faster than controlling magical equipment. When fighting the enemy, this move could catch them off guard.
Most importantly, its power was ten times stronger than the first level’s blood light. As the silver-white spear danced within the range of the blood threads, the tip of the spear pierced the huge scorpion-like creature’s powerful carapace again. It easily pierced through the carapace, causing the huge scorpion-like creature to be seriously injured. It could be killed in two or three rounds.
If it were any other strongest prodigies, even if they were able to heavily injure a creature in this seventh wooden house valley, they still wouldn’t dare to continue fighting. This was because without comprehending the scale level, it was impossible to withstand the attacks of a large number of giant scorpion-like creatures. If they were careless, they would end up dead. It had to be known that one would die if they rushed up the Beast Spirit Ranking.
However, Shen Ping was different. The scale keratin condensed from 30 beast blood’s essences was difficult to break even for creatures on the seventh level. It was his powerful defense that allowed him to continue fighting.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
One, two… a full ten hours passed.
After dealing with all the poisonous scorpions in the seventh wooden house valley, he looked at the immortal seal divine runes on his arm.
[Total ranking: Third]
[Division Ranking: Second]
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. He knew that his speed was not slow. With a powerful keratin defense, he did not have to dodge. Although the attack power was slightly weaker, it could save a lot of time. In the end, he still could not catch up to the strongest prodigies of the two special races.
“It’s said that the next step is a stone bridge’s steps. There’s only one creature on each step. As long as you kill it, you can pass. However, until now, no one has been able to pass it.
“The two strongest prodigies of the Realm Clan and the Stone Clan didn’t consume as much beast blood’s essence as me. They didn’t even reach twenty. The horn they condensed wasn’t strong either.”
He stood in front of the purple door. He hesitated, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and stepped in. The environment in front of him suddenly changed. He was surrounded by darkness.
Shen Ping was standing on the wide steps. He looked up and saw rows of steps. There were a total of ten steps, but he could only see the second and third steps. If he went higher, it would be blurry.
And there was a creature on the steps. Its entire body was covered in scale patterns, exactly the same as the strange beast’s. The aura and pressure it emitted were very similar, but its body was much smaller, about 30 feet tall.
The moment the patterns on the surface of the steps activated and flickered, this shrunken strange beast creature roared and rushed towards Shen Ping. In just half a breath, its hoof claws seemed to tear through space as it slapped towards Shen Ping.
Shen Ping immediately felt a powerful aura lock onto him. The surrounding air was almost frozen. It was actually very difficult for him to even move. Even teleportation was useless. In his shock, he hurriedly used the Primordial Chaos Spear to block.
Bang! The claw collided with the Primordial Chaos Spear. The terrifying impact sent Shen Ping and the spear flying. Some of the scales on his body shattered, but they did not injure him. “This claw is really exquisite. I can’t even dodge it.” The shrunken version of the strange beast did not continue to attack. Clearly, it gave Shen Ping time to choose whether to continue or leave. There was still a door on the steps. As long as he returned to the door, he could leave directly. “Let’s try again!”
Since he could barely defend himself, leaving now would be a waste of such an opportunity. After all, to be able to fight against a strange beast head-on was something that many Beast Spirits could not encounter.
Bang, bang, bang!
Shen Ping kept flying backward. Every time he flew backward, the keratin on the surface of his body would decrease, and his Beast Spirit state would be affected. However, he did not care. Instead, he continued. As he kept fighting with the shrunken version of the strange beast creature, to be precise, being tortured by it, he gradually understood the traces of the strange beast creature’s claws. In the end, he could even use the Primordial Chaos Spear to imitate these traces of attacks. However, the imitation could not even be considered superficial.
The keratin was almost empty. He felt that it was a pity. If he could persist, he believed that he would definitely be able to comprehend the essence of this claw attack and use it on himself. After flying back again, he did not continue and left through the door.
All the Beast Spirit geniuses who had left were staring intently at the gigantic Beast Spirit Ranking at the white marble square. At the very front, there was a name that was extremely conspicuous.
“Third place!! H-How did this human prodigy do it?!”
“It’s been a while since he rushed to fourth place. The other strongest prodigies have basically finished rushing to the rankings. It can be seen that this human prodigy is third this time!”
“This is really unbelievable. After the appearance of the Beast Spirit Ranking, the top 20 basically did not change much. However, this person went from the initial 10,000 to the current third place. The speed at which he rose is really too frightening.”
“That’s right. This is the human race. No wonder the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, and the Demon Race are so afraid of the human race.”
“In the prosperous era of the human race, when will we be bullied by the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race? Even our race lives under their noses. Now that a terrifying prodigy has appeared in the human race, perhaps the human race can return to its former peak.”
The white marble square on every floor was in a heated discussion. As for the human Immortal Venerables at the top, they all laughed heartily. That Shen Ping had indeed brought them surprises as usual.
“Haha, this is the prodigy of our human race!”
“So what if I give the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, the Demon Race, and the others tens of thousands of years? In the end, they will still be surpassed by us human prodigies!”
“Our human bloodline is thin, but our potential is high!”
Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Yu, Immortal Venerable Qi, Immortal Venerable Yao, and the others were elated. Previously, the human race did not even have a Beast Spirit genius. At that time, they had been mocked by the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan and Spirit Race for being weak. They might as well give up their fertile territory. Now, they had finally vented their anger.
To Immortal Venerables, they had a long lifespan. Instead, they valued reputation and glory more.
The expressions of the Devil Clan, Flame Race, and the other Immortal Venerables were ugly, but the conspicuous ranking made them unable to say anything. Even the Immortal Venerables of the Spirit Race had dark expressions. This time, the human Shen Ping had actually surpassed Ling Hao. This was something they definitely did not want to see.
More importantly, the other party’s ranking was so high, which meant that he could occupy a huge advantage in the third palace. If he obtained precious resources, no one would be able to stop him from rising.
“I’ll let you humans be smug for a while. The Devil Clan’s Bai Xin will surpass you sooner or later!” After the Beast Spirit Ranking ended, the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan left a resentful sentence and turned to leave.
The Spirit Race, Flame Race, and other Immortal Venerables followed closely behind.
As for the Winged Race, the Phoenix Race, the Dragon Race, and the other Immortal Venerables, they stayed behind to chat with Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, and the others. After all, with such a strongest prodigy in the human race, they would definitely obtain a lot of resources in the future. There was hope of them rising again, so they naturally had to ease their relationship..
