Chapter 370: First Generation Divine Firmament Saint: Yue Yunde
Chapter 370: First Generation Divine Firmament Saint: Yue Yunde
Bai Di was a supreme-grade mutation of the Black Tortoise race’s bloodline: A Void Lightning Tortoise.
If a normal Black Tortoise’s biggest specialty was its powerful defense and extreme longevity, then Bai Di was even more freakish.
Not only was his defense very strong and his life very long, but he was able to rapidly create lightning and had an innate affinity for void control. He possessed the legendary “Void Escape” technique.
When using the Void Escape technique, Bai Di’s physical body and the void would become one. A void protection barrier would form over his body and merge with his own shell armor, which could fend off at least 90% of all attacks.
His defense was even more powerful than a pure-blooded Black Tortoise!
It could be said that Bai Di’s attacks were not that powerful amongst his peers, but his ability to protect himself was second to none.
This meant that Bai Di was great at assassination techniques. He could hide in the void and strike you from behind. If he missed, he could just escape through the void again.
Meanwhile, you were completely unable to harm that fellow. He could definitely become the most formidable ninja tortoise across the five regions.
This was why Kun Yu, Kun Ming, and the rest were unable to hold themselves against Bai Di.
Even so, this formidable divine beast was being totally thrashed by Shen Tian.
Another huge red bump appeared on that tortoise head, and cold sweat sprouted out on the backs of Qi Shaoxuan and Kun Ming as they shuddered.
Luckily, they had not been as arrogant as this tortoise when they had been trying to one-up Shen Tian in the past. If they had truly incited him...
Their heads would be as swollen as that tortoise’s.
...
“Senior, your speed is astonishing. I respect that.”
Shen Tian stored his Ocean Divine Hammer and smiled at Bai Di.
“During our fight, our battle prowess was quite evenly matched. Shall we consider it a draw?”
A draw?
Everyone couldn’t help gazing at him in admiration.
He is indeed our Brother Shen!
Even though he had clearly been suppressing his opponent, he did not behave arrogantly and was even trying to let this tortoise maintain his dignity.
With this kind of gracious manner, even his mortal enemy would have to respect that!
Kun Ming sighed. He had still been harboring thoughts of competing with Shen Tian.
But now, he finally conceded completely.
So what if his cultivation level surpassed Shen Tian?
In terms of battle prowess and manner, he was like a firefly beside the blazing sun when compared to Shen Tian. There was just no comparison!
Everyone turned their eyes toward Bai Di.
What more could this tortoise say?
Bai Di was gnashing his teeth in pain now.
However, his face turned red upon feeling everyone’s eyes on him. “Ahem, you are rather talented and sensible.”
Bai Di forced himself to speak through the throbbing pain of his swollen face. “But I want to make something very clear. I was going light on you in our fight just now.
“When I was throwing my Tortoise Fist, I drew back my full power just before hitting your nose.
“According to the rules of sparring, you have already lost. If I had unleashed the full power of that punch, it would have shattered your soul.
“You should have conceded that I didn’t use my full power on you just now. But not only did you not concede defeat, but you also hit me on the head with a hammer.
“On account of you being my junior, I will not hold it against you. If I was sparring with someone else, I might not be so merciful.”
...
The corners of the prodigies’ mouths twitched as they stared at Bai Di’s perfectly straight face.
They had never seen someone so shameless before.
His tortoise head was already swollen to epic proportions from the beating, but he was still insisting that he had not lost.
Zhang Yunxi smirked. “Since this old tortoise feels that he didn’t lose, Junior Brother, why don’t you spar with him again so that we can have a clear winner? Make it fair this time. No holds barred.”
Tssss~
What an evil woman!
Bai Di shuddered. “Ahem, this... Well...”
Shen Tian smiled. “Never mind! Bai Di’s lightning skills are formidable. Our fight heavily impacted my internal organs, and I already sustained some internal injuries. If we continue fighting and my injuries worsen, I will be at a great disadvantage if we meet with any dangers in the tomb.”
Internal injuries!?
The faces of the prodigies all changed at Shen Tian’s words.
Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exchanged looks. They held bizarre expressions on their faces.
Brother Shen looks so energetic and robust. He doesn’t appear to have sustained any internal injuries at all!
Don’t tell me this tortoise is really that good? His head is all swollen now, but he did manage to cause some damage to Brother Shen just now?
Why don’t I believe this at all!?
As for Zhang Yunxi, Princess Linglong, Kun Yu, and the other female prodigies, they only had one thought in their minds.
“Saint, this is our Great Void Kun race’s healing elixir, the Triple Light Five Herb Essence. It is brewed from the Triple Light Divine Water and five types of special herbs. It is best for treating internal injuries. Please take this immediately!”
“Brother Shen, this is the Celestial Dynasty’s Timeless Heavenly Stone Essence. It is organic and can heal all sorts of injuries, as well as nourish one’s physical body and soul. Brother Shen, please take it.”
“Junior Brother, I... I will send this tortoise to hell right now! How dare he hurt you. He’s asking for it!”
...
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly tried to placate the women.
He exuded a triple divine glow and instantly looked more vibrant than ever.
Shen Tian smiled. “Everyone, don’t worry. I have the Triple Light Divine Water and will not be in any mortal danger.”
Triple Light Divine Water?
How many treasures does Brother Shen have!?
How did he suddenly come to possess yet another extraordinary item highly ranked on the Absolute Water List?
Qi Shaoxuan tightened his hold on his Heaven’s Halberd. He felt a wave of jealousy wash over him.
He could have been a proud Son of Providence if only he had never met Shen Tian.
But after this fellow had appeared, no one else was able to shine.
It was only possible now to fight for second place.
Wang Shenxu, Kun Ming, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunting were all harboring the same thoughts.
It was truly impossible to compete against Shen Tian. They would just be torturing themselves, and they might end up with Qi Deviation or other such dire circumstances.
Meanwhile, Bai Di heaved a sigh of relief that Shen Tian chose to take the high road.
Looks like the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has indeed done well in teaching their disciples!
This Saint is really gracious!
...
That’s not exactly true. Not every Divine Firmament Saint is that gracious!
For example, that fatty I saw beside the tomb earlier. He was also a Divine Firmament Saint!
Not only is that fellow ungracious, but he is also downright deviant. He stole my coffin, which I spent so much effort refining!
That’s my coffin!
Aren’t you worried about being struck by the heavens for that?
Bai Di couldn’t help gnashing his teeth at the thought of that fatty.
Damn!
That coffin belongs to me!
