Shen Yuan Ring

The iron-eating beast never imagined that it would be injured by the human in front of it, and that it would suffer from the most difficult-to-heal internal injury.

Ji Daoyi seemed oblivious to the Iron-Eating Beast's injury, as he was completely absorbed in the Five Elements Fist.

Previously, Ji Daoyi had only condensed each element of the Five Elements Fist into a beast form, which would manifest the corresponding demonic beast phantom when he used the fist technique.

Being able to condense a phantom image signifies reaching the entry level of the Five Elements Fist, but to achieve minor success, one needs to 'integrate' them at a deeper level, allowing each element's fist technique to perfectly complement the others.

The principle of combining strength and gentleness, using gentleness to overcome strength.

This is precisely the essence of the Five Elements Fist!

When attacking the Iron-Eating Beast, he first used the fierce Dragon-Shaped Fist, and then used the agile and flexible Snake-Shaped Fist to parry.

The Iron-Eating Beast has thick hide and amazing defense. Even with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to break through the Iron-Eating Beast's defense using the third move of the Wuji Blade Technique.

The Five Elements Fist is a combination of hardness and softness, which is perfect for dealing with the Iron-Eating Beast.

If the Iron-Eating Beast hadn't been overconfident in its own defense, believing that Ji Daoyi's attacks wouldn't have harmed it, and if it hadn't been distracted by the sudden appearance of these demonic beast phantoms, thus failing to focus on defense and dodging during the battle...

It's impossible for it to suffer internal injuries and vomit blood so quickly, let alone suffer serious trauma.

Ji Daoyi probably doesn't know that, with his constant switching and use of these beastly attacks, his Five Elements Fist has gradually entered the minor completion stage.

At this time, the Iron-Eating Beast was also injured, which slowed its movement and gradually put it at a disadvantage.

Although it began to realize that there was something wrong with Ji Daoyi's attack and kept dodging his attacks, it was already too late.

If it had taken things seriously from the beginning and hadn't relied on its indestructible nature to act recklessly, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Unbeknownst to them, the Iron-Eating Beast and Ji Daoyi had been fighting for nearly two hours.

Ji Daoyi's Yuan energy showed no signs of depletion; on the contrary, he became more and more courageous in battle, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

His Five Elements Fist showed signs of complete integration, no longer requiring the deliberate use of Dragon Fist or Snake Fist for attacks as it did initially.

Ji Xiaohu and the others were quite relaxed, already sitting together eating dried meat and wild fruit.

They were able to be so relaxed entirely because the battle between Ji Daoyi and the Iron-Eating Beast was too noisy.

Within a mile radius, there were no traces of other small animals, let alone other demonic beasts at the Body Refinement Realm!

This also confirms that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it actually is.

"Brother Dao, how long until this battle is over? I think that iron-eating beast on the other side is already at its limit. If I were it, I would have surrendered long ago!" Ji Xiaohu said gloatingly while eating jerky.

"Look at his boxing technique, it's getting more and more skilled. I can hardly see his punches anymore."

"Yeah, I wonder where he got that boxing style from, it's so strong. Maybe I can ask him if I can learn a thing or two from him sometime!"

"Is it possible that it's not a family technique, but rather some other opportunity that Dao Yi obtained?"

After a while,

The Iron-Eating Beast finally couldn't stand this feeling of powerlessness anymore. It couldn't win, it couldn't win at all. It was being used as a punching bag, and its internal injuries were getting worse.

So it kept resisting Ji Daoyi's attacks while constantly begging for mercy.

Seeing that Ji Daoyi did not respond, it was like a wounded child.

Although it looks robust and has sharp claws, its call is surprisingly cute and adorable.

It wasn't that Ji Daoyi ignored its pleas for mercy; rather, he simply didn't know.

If you look closely, you'll see that Ji Daoyi has his eyes closed, and all his attacks are triggered by his body's instincts.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is having an epiphany about the Five Elements Fist at this moment, because he is now immersed in the world of the Five Elements Fist, thinking about how to perfectly integrate the Five Elements Fist so that every move he makes can be done at will, without being bound by the might of the Tiger Fist or the agility of the Snake Fist.

Suddenly, Ji Daoyi murmured to himself, "The combination of strength and gentleness, acting as one pleases, the Five Elements are me, and I am the Five Elements."

He had just finished speaking!

Behind him, the phantom images of dragons, tigers, leopards, snakes, and cranes flickered continuously, like a carousel, constantly merging with Ji Daoyi.

It was as if an invisible hand was forcibly merging them into Ji Daoyi's body. At the same time, Ji Daoyi's fist techniques were even more unpredictable, sometimes like a dragon, sometimes a tiger, sometimes a snake, sometimes a leopard, sometimes a crane, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes hard, sometimes soft. The Iron-Eating Beast, which kept begging for mercy, was so frightened by this scene that it cried out "Mama!"

After these afterimages completely merged into Ji Daoyi, he stopped punching and slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

He looked at the trembling Iron-Eating Beast in front of him with a puzzled expression. How could it have disappeared in such a short time? The Iron-Eating Beast seemed to have suffered a great injury, with bloodstains still remaining at the corner of its mouth, and it was still vaguely calling out the word "Mama".

Seeing that the Iron-Eating Beast had given up resisting and was calling him "Mommy" with a blank expression, he also canceled his decision to kill the Iron-Eating Beast. The words that Ji Zihan and the others had said that day also came to mind.

Ji Daoyi coldly said to the Iron-Eating Beast, "Since you're so pragmatic, you must understand what I'm saying. I'll give you two choices: either we continue fighting, or I kill you!"

Upon hearing this, the iron-eating beast shook its head repeatedly, making cawing sounds to indicate that it did not choose this option.

Ji Daoyi looked at it and shook his head, then smiled and said, "The second option is that you must submit to us. Remember, not me, but us. You must also obey the orders of my companions and must not harm them, otherwise I will still kill you."

The Iron-Eating Beast looked at Ji Daoyi, then at the group of people eating dried meat and watching the commotion.

It had noticed these people a long time ago, but it was facing off against Ji Daoyi, so it didn't pay attention to these weak humans for the time being.

But when it saw these people eating delicious jerky, its big, round eyes stared intently at them, while it kept swallowing its saliva, probably because it was starving.

Ji Dao saw the expression on the Iron-Eating Beast's face, and then took out a pound of dried meat from his storage bag.

The iron-eating beast's gaze was instantly drawn back, and it began to whimper softly.

Ji Daoyi tossed it a piece of jerky, and the Iron-Eating Beast grabbed it and shoved it into its mouth. Without caring whether there was anything wrong with the jerky, it ate it in one gulp. After finishing it, the way it looked at Ji Daoyi became more and more like its own dog, Big Yellow.

"If you submit, you will have these delicious jerky every day, and there will be even more food that tastes better than this jerky."

Seeing that the Iron-Eating Beast seemed to have no resistance to food, Ji Daoyi did not take out any pills to tempt it. Not to mention whether he had any pills suitable for the Iron-Eating Beast, even if he did, he could not take them out at this time.
