There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 336 Preparation

The reappearance of the Shadow Master was unexpected not only by Piggy Hero and his friends, but also by Hao Chen.

However, Hao Chen reacted quickly. After recognizing that the aura around the Shadow Master actually came from the Demon Ancestor, Hao Chen reacted immediately.

Almost instinctively, Hao Chen activated the Li Jue with his feet and the Dui Jue with his hands. Every move he made was filled with supreme offensive power, while the other six Jue within his body resonated with him.

Qian represents the origin, cultivating the immortal primordial spirit!

Kun is the body, which can be refined into an indestructible divine form!

The trigram Zhen represents transformation, which transforms all things in the world!

Kan is the vessel, forging an eternal weapon of the Dao!

Gen represents life, bestowing endless vitality!

The Xun trigram represents the formation; deploy an unparalleled grand formation!

Separation is movement, mastering the world's ultimate speed!

Dui represents war; it is the art of offensive warfare!

Although the Eight Secrets of Heaven and Earth were created by Chen Ying, they were so comprehensive that Hao Chen ended up using them as his favorite after obtaining them.

With years of study and practice, Hao Chen has mastered the Eight Secrets and has even innovated and evolved his own unique set of Eight Secrets.

As Hao Chen activated the Eight Techniques, he instantly transformed into an eternal beam of immortal light, rushing straight towards Master Dark Shadow.

The black and red demonic energy on the Shadow Master suddenly transformed into a black demonic blade hundreds of meters long the moment Hao Chen made his move, its demonic energy soaring into the sky.

The demonic blade slashed down, aiming straight for Hao Chen's head, intending to split him in two.

However, facing the powerful blow from the Demon Blade, Hao Chen did not retreat but advanced, raising his fist to strike the Demon Blade.

Sonorous!

The demonic blade struck Hao Chen's fist, which had been forged using the Kun Technique, with a solid blow, unleashing a dazzling divine light and producing a deafening sound like weapons clashing.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the seemingly indestructible demonic blade let out a mournful cry, leaving a bright fist mark on its blade, and several cracks appeared around the fist mark.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Chen punched the blade again. This time, the demonic blade could no longer withstand Hao Chen's attack and broke into two pieces, turning back into demonic energy and returning to the Shadow Master's body.

Without the obstruction of demonic energy, Hao Chen instantly appeared in front of the Shadow Master.

Under the despairing gaze of the Shadow Master, Hao Chen pressed his right hand against his chest, unleashing the divine might of the Imperial Dao.

In an instant, the Shadow Master's eyes turned to terror, and he unleashed spell after spell with his staff.

However, no matter what the Shadow Master did, he still couldn't stop Hao Chen's offensive.

"Do not……"

As if he had been through millions of years of trials, the Shadow Master could only watch helplessly as Hao Chen's laws eroded his body, watching his body gradually turn into dust in the world.

The Shadow Master arrived quickly and left even faster; from the moment Hao Chen made his move to the moment the Shadow Master disappeared, only about ten breaths had passed.

In that short time, Piggy Hero and his friends hadn't even recovered from the shock of the Shadow Master's reappearance.

"Is this the end?"

"Is the Shadow Master dead?"

The group of Piggy Heroes from a parallel world knew best how terrifying the Shadow Master was, but at this moment they were also the most shocked.

"It's unbelievable. Just how amazing was the transformation that drop of blood gave to the Demon Ancestor and the others?" Hao Chen looked at the wisp of demonic energy he had extracted from the Shadow Master, and his mood became heavy.

As the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor, Hao Chen was naturally aware of the Demon Ancestor's strength, but at this moment, he felt pressure from the Demon Ancestor's wisp of demonic energy.

"That's true. While I'm making progress, they certainly can't stand still. But why did the Demon Ancestor appear at this time?"

However, what Hao Chen didn't know was that when he used demonic energy to deduce the strength of the Demon Ancestor and thus estimate the strength of the other Dao Ancestors...

Through Hao Chen's actions, the Demon Ancestor also discerned the path Hao Chen was taking and was astonished to discover that Hao Chen, despite not becoming an immortal, possessed the cultivation of an ordinary Dao Lord and was also nurturing a Chaos Immortal Embryo within his body.

Just as Hao Chen was thinking, Tian Lu suddenly ran over, interrupting Hao Chen's thoughts.

"What's wrong, Tianlu?"

"Haochen, you seem worried about something. Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."

Hearing Tianlu's words, Haochen felt a warmth in his heart and bent down to pick Tianlu up.

Looking at the fluffy Tianlu in his arms and smelling the Pixiu fragrance on Tianlu's body, Haochen immediately put the matter of the Demon Ancestor out of his mind. He would deal with the fighting later; for now, he would just pet Tianlu.

Then Haochen habitually pressed his face against Tianlu and rubbed it against her: "My little Xianglu, you seduced me first, let me kiss you."

Tianlu pushed Haochen's face away with his paw in disgust: "Haochen, stop it, you're making me so itchy, I won't let you kiss me anymore."

However, Hao Chen had clearly forgotten that there were other people here besides him and Tian Lu, including Piggy Hero and the others.

Even because Hao Chen had just made a move at the Little Tigers' base, Coach Confused, Fei Fei, and Superman Qiang from this world also rushed back.

"Piggy Hero, what happened at home... huh?!" As soon as Mihu returned to the base, the first thing she saw was Haochen burying his face in Tianlu's body and rubbing against him.

Confused blushed slightly at this, but he rushed to Piggy Hero's side immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Piggy Hero was safe and sound.

"Give me a break, Piggy Hero. What happened? And is he your friend? Tell your friend to be more careful; there are children here."

Feifei and her group, who arrived later, were also taken aback by Haochen's actions. Although they all regarded Yuanling as their family, none of them hugged and kissed their Yuanling.

Soon, Hao Chen felt several gazes scrutinizing him and Tian Lu behind him, and quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Wait, don't misunderstand, Tianlu and I are not what you think."

To avoid any misunderstanding, Hao Chen immediately transformed back into his original Pixiu form.

Piggy Hero and his friends were startled when they saw the two dog-like spirits, one black and one blue, in front of them.

"You are spirits? Then how can he turn into a human?" Piggy Hero asked, pointing at Hao Chen.

"That's right, Tianlu and I are not primordial spirits. We came to your world to find people... no, to find beasts." Haochen said, transforming back into human form.

He then explained to Piggy Hero and the others the purpose of their visit and hoped to get their help.

As he spoke, Hao Chen took out a poster for the Beach Cup competition and pointed to the chibi version of the Four-Faced Beast on it, saying, "It's called the Four-Faced Beast, and it's one of the beasts we're looking for. Does anyone know anything about this Beach Cup?"

Upon hearing this, Piggy Hero exchanged glances with Feifei and Superman Qiang: "Feifei, do you know?"

"Sorry, we don't know either, but I'll ask my dad to help me find out."

Seeing Feifei and the others shake their heads, Haochen was not disappointed. After all, he hadn't expected to get any clues from Piggy Hero so easily.

However, at that moment, Bu San and Bu Si walked up directly and snatched the poster from Hao Chen's hand: "We know."

"What? You know? Tell me quickly!" Hao Chen pinched Bu San and Bu Si's cheeks in surprise.

"You're pinching us too hard, let go!" Bu San and Bu Si struggled.

Seeing this, Piggy Hero and the others didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, they watched the commotion from the sidelines. Only Tianlu rolled his eyes. He knew that Haochen's old habit had kicked in again. He wished Xie Zhi were here.

Soon, Hao Chen learned from Bu San and Bu Si that the Beach Cup competition was originally just a small competition, and the prize was just a mysterious fragment.

At this point, Feifei from the parallel world suddenly realized something, took out the fragments of the Heart of the Sea they had collected, and asked, "Is this the fragment you're talking about?"

"Hmm, little brother, that fragment looks like this, right?" Bu San took the Sea Heart fragment and looked at it with Bu Si.

After examining the fragments of the Heart of the Sea, Bu Si exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, it's the same as the prize from before."

Upon hearing the news of the Sea Heart fragments, the Piggy Hero and his companions in the parallel world were overjoyed, finally finding a clue.

Soon, they joined the discussion, and the others learned of their purpose at that moment.

At Hao Chen's prompting, Bu San and Bu Si continued to share the information they knew.

From their conversation, everyone learned that the organizers had suddenly become a mysterious organization called the God Organization, and the original Sea Heart Fragment had been replaced with a mysterious Yuanling Card.

However, when Hao Chen tried to find out where this organization was, Bu San Bu Si said they didn't know either, and that this divine organization would only appear on the day of the competition.

"The God Organization? Why does that name sound familiar?" Hao Chen thought for a long time but couldn't remember where he had heard the name before, so he simply stopped thinking about it and figured he would find out during the competition.

However, it's not so easy to register for the competition. Unlike regular competitive ball games where teams consist of three players, the Beach Cup requires participating teams to have two main attackers, two defenders, and two support players, for a total of six players.

"There aren't enough people. Even if I use clones, I don't have any Yuanling. By the way, does Tianlu know how to create clones?" Hao Chen looked at Tianlu in his arms, and couldn't help but imagine a bunch of Tianlu lying on the bed, waiting for him to have his way with him.

However, the next moment, Tianlu on the bed suddenly transformed into Zhanhu, which startled Haochen so much that he quickly wiped away the images.

"It's terrifying, a whole bunch of War Tigers, just thinking about it makes my body unable to take it."

When Hao Chen appeared lost in thought, Piggy Hero realized it was because Hao Chen was agonizing over the issue of his teammates.

“He just helped Ah Wu, now it’s my turn to help him.”

Piggy Hero shared his idea with the rest of the Little Tigers, and they quickly agreed.

"Haochen, you helped me wake up A-Wu, now it's our turn to help you find your friend."

"Awoo~" A-Wu howled at Hao Chen, expressing that he also wanted to help.

"Well, thank you very much."

Hao Chen was originally thinking about how to find a primordial spirit for his clone, but this time it was much easier.

Seeing this, the confused coach knew it was his turn to go on the field, so he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Haochen, right? Since you want to participate in the competition, you need to understand how to play ball first."

The next moment, Hao Chen felt a blur before his eyes, and a thick book appeared in his hand.

"Come on, read the rules of the final ball game first, and then we'll talk about how to play." The confused coach grinned mischievously, making Hao Chen's scalp tingle. He hated reading the most, except for novels, of course.

Hao Chen looked to Piggy Hero for help, but only received a look that said, "Good luck to you."

Piggy Hero was secretly delighted, finally able to share with others the torment he had suffered back then.

Fortunately, the Beach Cup competition starts in three days, so Hao Chen has plenty of time to memorize his notes, although he might prefer not to have that time at all.

While Hao Chen was preparing for the final ball, Bi Xie and Si Bu Xiang had already returned to the Deer Man Shop: "Tian Lu, I'm back! Come out quickly and see what I brought you."

At the same time, Di Ting appeared at the entrance of the Deer Man's shop with a pitch-black egg: "Give this egg to the Fourth Boss and have him pass it on to Hao Chen."
