Chapter 56: Terrifying as Such
“Claude, Tyr, Diaz, you’re out! The test is over, come back.” Lazily said Leilindor, then Dragon Slayer and others disappeared into the small world, and the next moment appeared in the room filled with magic patterns as it was before.
Originally, Dragon Slayer’s face gradually turned pale due to the aftereffects of using the forbidden technique. However, upon exiting the small world, she suddenly improved significantly. Yet, the forbidden technique not only burdened her body but also struck her spirit, so even outside the small world, Dragon Slayer’s complexion remained extremely pale. Fortunately, she still had the strength to stand up.
Tyr and Claude looked at the crater blasted out of the magic shadowstone, covering an area of six kilometers in diameter. They exchanged a glance, both sensing the shock within. Dragon Slayer was terrifying; with a punch like that, who could possibly escape alive? Only Ye Xi, with her early perception of danger and advantage in speed, managed to evade disaster. As a Yuehai, Tyr was also spared. However, the agony of being shattered by that blow earlier was unavoidable.
But a thousand words were of no avail because, at the critical moment, the opponent had ascended to the level of Celestial. Such a powerful being, capable of traversing the heavens, was the backbone of the empire. In the empire, a Celestial was the pillar of the nation. Even the title of Emperor was only bestowed upon a Celestial, and if one had not yet become a demigod, they were merely an experienced and skilled Celestial.
Everyone fell silent. In their minds, one phrase surfaced.
A celestial-level powerhouse, terrifying as such.
Although they had seen stronger opponents in recent days, nothing compared to the impact of experiencing it firsthand.
Leilindor, somehow already seated in the rocking chair, lazily dug his nostrils in a very undignified manner and said.
“The one before, it was the divine world within a deceased god’s body, which, after a long period, evolved independently into a civilization with its own system. However, due to being a small world, the geology is extremely fragile. Like your earlier sword could fell trees hundreds of meters tall, and a single punch could blast through a forest. If placed in those larger worlds, it might not have such an impact. I believe you understand. If Dragon Slayer’s punch had landed in a supreme world like Noah’s, it might have only shattered a few hundred meters of the earth.”
“Leilindor makes sense, but that doesn’t stop their longing for the emperor level. Only Tyr sighed quietly; he still aspired to mediocrity for now.”
“Cough, cough.” Dragon Slayer coughed palely, clutching her chest. This prompted Tyr to speak up.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, not as serious as last time.” Dragon Slayer didn’t seem inclined to argue further with Tyr. Indeed, adults were different, more mature and composed.
“However, Tyr had been killed by Dragon Slayer once before. Any deep-seated grudge should have dissipated by now. Tyr’s mindset was the problem itself.”
“Oh my, it seems quite late today. It’s dangerous here in the dead of night. I advise you to go back first.”
“Is it very dangerous?” Curious, Neruko couldn’t help but ask.
Leilindor shrugged in the face of questioning and curious looks, choosing silence. It was quite obvious that he didn’t want to tell them this secret.
Tyr and the others exchanged glances; they weren’t particularly curious about these matters, but Constantine and Neruko were very interested. Despite several inquiries, they didn’t get any answers.
In the end, everyone had to leave the Yusheng Tower.
As dusk descended, the orange-red sunlight streamed through the windows onto Leilindor, who was lying in the rocking chair. He took out a magic sound stone from his white coat and, with a slightly trembling voice, dialed a frequency.
After about ten seconds, the magic sound stone connected, and an elderly voice came through.
“It’s me.”
“Professor, I succeeded.”
“Very well.”
The person referred to as the professor showed no emotional response to Leilindor’s words, after a moment of contemplation, he continued.
“Then you shall resume your duties as an ordinary teacher. In three years, I will assist you in becoming a deity.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just the result of your hundreds of years of effort. Once hailed as a genius, with your affinity for lightning elements reaching eighty percent, you sacrificed your prime cultivation time for our research institute.”
“Continue to grow, Leilindor. I’ll be watching you.”
“Yes.”
“But seriously, Diaz, you’re too strong.”
Walking along the street, Constantine rested his head on his arms, feeling puzzled. Kagura Xiaoqi and Neruko both nodded in agreement. The enormity of the Emperor’s Sword and the Judgment Array was terrifying beyond imagination.
At this moment, Diaz no longer possessed the madness he had before. He smiled warmly and shook his head in response.
“My cultivation is still far from enough. At least, I’m helpless against Miss Ye Xi.”
Ye Xi was slightly taken aback when her name was mentioned. Seeing everyone’s gaze turn to her, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. Nevertheless, she calmly replied, “That’s too much praise.
I’ve just relied on some tricks. In a direct one-on-one fight, I would undoubtedly lose.”
To be honest, it’s quite subtle. From Tyr’s own observations, he always felt that none of these people had used their full strength. Of course, considering Diaz’s strength, even if most people did use their full power, they might still not be able to defeat him. So, perhaps they didn’t take it too seriously.
Perhaps even Dragon Slayer didn’t exert his full strength.
However, because of this melee, instead of creating estrangement, everyone became closer. They laughed and chatted, returning to their dormitories before the sunset.
When Tyr reached the nineteenth floor, the other three were already busy with their own tasks in the dormitory. Tyr, sweaty and envious, wished he knew some magic. Just like Kagura Xiaoqi, who effortlessly used a light body technique to hop up like a little rabbit, it would be so much easier.
“I can’t take it anymore. I need to take a shower first.”
“Oh, by the way, Tyr, are you really okay?” Constantine shifted his gaze away from the magic shadowstone and looked at Tyr’s disheveled appearance, feeling curious.
Tyr took a few deep breaths, straightened his body, and said.
“What, are you still afraid I’ll just drop dead like this?”
“I’m just concerned that your qi is too low. Worried about your future.” Constantine’s words hit Tyr hard in the chest.
“The pain of his life.”
“What’s there to worry about? I, Tyr, can conquer all with my sword. What’s a mere lack of qi? Believe it or not, I’ll show you by slaying a deity.”
“Sigh…” Constantine looked at Tyr with an expression that said, ‘This guy is beyond help.’ This made his heart tremble even more. He forced himself to remain calm and walked into the bathroom.
