Shang only looked at the solitary stone for several seconds.
"A Spire Mire, huh?" Shang said.
Chuck McGuiness had scammed Shang back then by saying that the Ore Toe in front of him was a beast called Spire Mire.
However, these beasts didn't exist.
But now, they did.
It seemed like the God had created a new beast just for Shang.
"Who knew that Chuck's joke would result in the creation of a new beast?" Shang muttered to himself.
Shang slowly walked over and stopped about five meters away from the stone.
Then, he lifted his sword and threw it at the stone.
BANG!
The sword pierced the stone until it got stuck.
BOOOOOM!
Five gigantic mandibles quickly closed around the stone, but the Spire Mire didn't catch anything.
The sword had already left the stone of its own volition and quickly crawled back to Shang.
One shouldn't forget that this wasn't just a sword, but Sword.
A gigantic head came out of the ground as Shang charged forward.
Sword jumped upward, and Shang caught it with his right hand.
Just as the Spire Mire turned its head to Shang, Shang had already arrived beneath it.
Shang put his left hand on his sword, and a moment later, Shang's arm began to freeze.
Then, Shang transformed all his momentum into a strike.
Shang's sword hit the middle of the Spire Mire's thorax.
BOOOOM!
Fire exploded out of Sword, and Shang's sword punched through the entire beast.
The mandibles of the Spire Mire scratched together threateningly as it wildly moved its body around in pain. Its body had been too big to sever with only a single slash, but Shang had basically bisected it by 80%.
After unleashing his slash, Shang used his left arm and used an Ice Blast to push himself away from his opponent.
A moment later, the gigantic mandibles clawed through the place Shang had just been.
Blood poured out of the Spire Mire's thorax as it violently moved around.
Its organs were being squeezed out, and the Spire Mire moved around in panic.
Shang only looked at it from a distance. His arm had consumed the life energy and had already healed.
The Spire Mire threateningly clawed into Shang's general direction with its mandibles, but it didn't dare to move.
Shang only waited.
After several seconds of intimidating Shang, the Spire Mire tried to leave in the other direction.
However, that meant turning its head.
BANG!
Shang exploded forward again, and when he saw the Spire Mire's small tail, he quickly severed it before jumping away again.
The Spire Mire turned to Shang again and threatened him.
It even tried to lunge at him, but as an ambush predator, it wasn't the fastest beast. Yes, its mandibles were very fast, but its body wasn't.
After that, Shang began to circle the Spire Mire from a distance, forcing it to turn its body to face him.
Blood and organs poured out of its huge cut and from the stump of its tail.
Every additional movement accelerated its death.
Eventually, the Spire Mire stopped following Shang, and Shang struck again.
Another deep cut was left on the Spire Mire's body.
The remainder of the fight wasn't very exciting.
Over the next ten minutes, the Spire Mire slowly succumbed to its injuries, and Shang absorbed its life force before it could fully die, filling his arm with life energy again.
Shang slowly stood up, and the invisible cheering returned.
A couple of seconds later, the wheel returned.
"Round three: Powerful Initial General Stage beast."
The wheel spun again.
Shang looked with narrowed eyes at the wheel.
From now on, the fights would become a bit harder.
