Chapter 1337: Awakening of the Black Tortoise Bloodline
Luo Tian knew exactly why he was enduring.
The Hai family!
The Hai family’s Crown Prince!
Heaven’s Chosen Mountain, and the sorcerers!
The antidote for the Soul Poison!
All of this weighed on him like a series of massive mountains! It was suffocating him!
But he had to endure it.
A man must be ruthless with himself.
If he couldn’t even achieve this or hold out through this much, how could he keep going? How could he face Li Xue’er, who remained unconscious for his sake? How could he face his brothers and women back on the Tianxuan Continent?
Luo Tian knew very well why he had entered the Ancient World.It was to find the antidote for the Soul Poison!
As long as he completed the academy missions, he could earn points, participate in the selection, enter the Abyss Academy, and obtain Spectral Gems. With that, he could forge dark weapons to increase his instant-kill rate and truly establish a foothold in this world.
Moreover, he had to become the strongest student to win a slot to climb Heaven’s Chosen Mountain, become a sorcerer, refine the antidote, and help Illusion Fairy cultivate a physical body.
All of this was what he had to do.
These matters forced him to risk his life.
”Cough~, cough~…” Luo Tian coughed heavily while spitting out blood.
His body trembled slightly as he grinned at the little white dog before saying, “One last move. Bring it on!”
At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was watching Luo Tian.
Their hearts were clenched tight as if they had stopped beating entirely.
The little white dog’s gaze became increasingly ferocious. Every time it attacked and Luo Tian stood back up, it felt like a personal humiliation. For this final move, it would absolutely not let Luo Tian stand up again.
Immediately after, a burst of white light erupted from its body!
”The power of a demon core?”
The old woman’s expression changed. She waved her scepter and shouted, “Little White, stop!”
However, the little white dog was in a state of absolute fury and did not listen to her at all. It unleashed all the energy within its demon core, bared its sharp fangs, and charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
“Boom~!”
Its body vanished instantly.
It was so fast that even the Saintess could not see it.
”Watch out!”
”Lord Luo Tian!”
”Boss!”
”This kind of speed… The impact of the force it brings would surpass the power of a peak rank nine demonic beast.”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
The little white dog’s speed was too fast, and its power was too fierce!
Moreover, a demon core is the crystalline essence of a demonic beast’s cultivation. It contains the power accumulated over decades, centuries, or even several millennia. When this power erupts, it is utterly terrifying.
Illusion Fairy finally couldn’t restrain herself and shouted, “Defend! Hurry and defend!”
Before Luo Tian could react, she immediately attempted to envelop him with her own power.
With a thought, Luo Tian directly blocked the energy Illusion Fairy tried to release.
Without his consent, her power could not provide an instantaneous defense.
Luo Tian lowered his stance, clenched both fists, and smiled slightly. “I want to become stronger. Illusion Fairy, let me become stronger!”
His pupils constricted.
A white blur charged toward him.
Luo Tian’s body suddenly tensed up as he unleashed the full strength of his level four physical body. Straining with all his might, his muscles hardened like iron and his veins bulged.
His face turned bright red as he let out a roar, “Aaaggghhh~!”
He braced to meet the ultimate strike.
At this moment, he used Divine Explosion.
And he used his level four physical body.
The Black Tortoise bloodline defense was also used.
At that exact instant, a surging, incomparable force collided with him.
This was the power of a demonic beast from another world!
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
The moment they made contact, power exploded outward with streaks of energy shooting out like fireworks blooming in the sky. The shockwave of that power felt like it surpassed everything!
The old woman’s eyes widened in surprise, “Good kid!”
Luo Tian didn’t budge!
The little white dog was about three meters away from him, panting heavily.
Its body appeared utterly exhausted.
There was no longer a trace of smugness in its eyes, replaced instead by pure shock.
In that split second, Luo Tian’s physical body surged, reaching level five!
To Luo Tian’s surprise, under the heavy blow, the Black Tortoise bloodline unleashed an incredibly powerful defense and awakened in that very instant. The second of the four divine beast bloodlines, the Black Tortoise bloodline, had awakened.
“Fuuu~…”
His entire body was in sharp pain, but Luo Tian felt equally excited.
The increase in his physical strength made him feel incredibly refreshed.
Seeing Luo Tian’s excited expression, the little white dog looked at him seriously, its gaze now full of respect. Since its full-force strike failed to knock Luo Tian back, it felt this human was indeed very strong. It instantly transformed back into a docile little white dog and leapt into the old woman’s arms.
Luo Tian gave a faint smile, looked at the old woman, and said, “I won.”
“He won!”
“Hahaha… The boss has won!”
”The clash between the strongest power and the strongest defense just now was simply crazy!”
”I have never seen such a formidable physical body. It’s even stronger than those monsters in our Holy See who have trained their bodies to the absolute limit.”
”Lord Luo Tian, you are simply too handsome!”
The crowd was boiling in excitement.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for increasing intimacy rating with Kailin’s Paladin Legion by 10 points.”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for increasing intimacy rating with Kailin’s Paladin Legion by 10 points.”
The alerts sounded six times in a row.
The intimacy level soared directly to 90 points. With only ten points left to reach one hundred points, Kailin and her Paladin Legion would certainly be recruited by him at that point.
As long as he obtained this group of knights, any price paid would be worth it.
Everyone was incredibly excited.
Their blood was boiling.
Kailin also revealed a rare smile. It was the first time in years she had smiled so happily.
The old woman also smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such incredible power within your body. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Black Tortoise bloodline, the strongest defensive bloodline of the Ancient World. What a good kid.”
Luo Tian replied, “Old granny, you saw right through it with a single glance.”
”There is still the third challenge!”
The first two challenges had been passed, so only this last one remained.
As long as they passed it, they could enter the final floor!
The old woman smiled and said, “The third challenge is very simple.”
“Little White!”
Little White looked up at the old woman, eyes welling with tears. It snuggled into her arms as if it was reluctant to part with her.
The old woman gently stroked its head and said, “Follow him, your world will be much more exciting. You’ve suffered alongside an old woman like me for too many years.”
Right after that, the old woman looked seriously at Luo Tian and said, “The third challenge is to take good care of Little White for me. From today onward, you are its master.”
“Huh?”
Luo Tian was caught off guard, unable to react.
At that moment, the old woman walked into the center of the hexagram formation. She slammed her scepter down, and the heaven’s chosen power within her body surged toward the sky.
”Break!”
“Boom~!”
