NOVEL NEXT Chapter 157: Sparring Partner!
"Emperor's Might!"
[Power: 6000→18000]
[Constitution: 6000→18000]
[Spirit: 6000→18000]
[Speed: 6000→18000]
With the blessing of the Emperor's Might Domain, Gu Xing's attributes reached 18,000 points!
Though all attributes doubled...
Gu Xing realized at this moment that there was a problem.
Normally, even under the influence of the Soul-devouring Talent and various statuses, the few Guardian Beasts could still control their doubled attributes with ease.
But when it came to himself, he found out...
It's difficult!
Attributes tripling directly led to his ability to control his body dropping to the lowest point.
The claw of an Extraordinary Level Blood Race sliced through the air, Gu Xing intended to nimbly dodge to the left, but due to unstable control of power, he shot sideways a significant distance.
The ground exploded into several deep pits beneath his feet, gravel flying before he barely stabilized his form.
"This..."
He stared at his hands in a daze.
Only now did he realize the vast difference between humans and Guardian Beasts.
Liu Li, Vera, or Qing Shuang, even when their attributes were ten times greater, could master them in a short time.
But as a human, he could not!
Apart from this...
This was his first time using the Emperor's Might.
The surging power within vaguely hinted that this Domain was far from a mere attribute increase.
But at this moment, he could only use this one ability!
The Blood Race Commander, witnessing this scene, narrowed his eyes.
He hadn't expected an outside Commander Level warrior in this border town.
"Human, though I'm unclear of your purpose here, if you turn and leave, we can pretend this incident never happened, how about that?"
This Commander Level Blood Race halted other Blood Races' attacks, instead trying to persuade Gu Xing.
Take note, the Human Race's strength isn't in pure combat power, it's in the Guardian Beasts.
His gaze swept to Vera and Fei Yue nearby.
If this human's two Guardian Beasts are also Commander Level, fighting might result in mutual injury.
However.
Gu Xing did not intend to relent.
Now he roughly understood why the Divine Pattern hindered his advancement.
He seemed to have neglected his own improvement all along.
Relying on a few Guardian Beasts, he could effortlessly dominate regardless of the opponent.
Moreover, with the Second Domain...
Absolutely fearless of Commander Level or even Monarch Level Domains.
This made him ignore his own strength even more.
But this...
After all, has its problems!
He could rely on defeating the Demon Race to enhance to Commander Peak, even advance to Monarch Level.
But what next?
He had a premonition.
If he doesn't change now, his limit would merely be Monarch Peak.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing's gaze suddenly sharpened, locking onto the Blood Race group before him.
From today, he must include his own combat abilities in the improvement plan.
After deciding, he pushed off with his feet, shooting like a cannonball towards the Blood Race.
Seeing Gu Xing's actions, the Commander Level Blood Race's face changed.
It seems this human is unwilling to relent!
"Blood Domain!"
He hardened his heart and released his Domain without hesitation.
Gu Xing stepped into the Domain's range, feeling a sticky resistance, his form staggering.
This wasn't due to the Domain Suppression being too strong, but his lack of control over the burgeoning power.
With just a hint of external influence, he easily lost balance.
The Commander Level Blood Race noticed this too.
Thus, his Blood Domain's primary target was...
Vera, standing aside and watching!
As long as he dealt with this Guardian Beast, then the remaining human...
Could be finished with a mere wave of the hand!
However...
His idea was very optimistic, but reality...
As soon as the Blood Domain spread within ten meters of Vera, it hit an invisible wall and couldn't advance further.
Vera now had a Spiritual Attribute as high as 20,000 points!
Even without releasing a Domain, she could easily counter this Blood Race's Domain with sheer Spiritual Power.
Vera's gaze swept over the Blood Race.
The Extraordinary Level Blood Races were ineffective and hindered her master from familiarizing himself with his body.
Eliminate them!
With just a light gesture, vines wrapped around the bothersome Extraordinary Level Blood Races, dragging them into the ground.
In a blink, only the lone Commander Level Blood Race remained on the battlefield.
This... how could it be...
The body of the Commander Level Blood Race froze completely, cold sweat soaking his back.
At this moment, he finally understood...
The strength of this Guardian Beast before him was a terrifying existence capable of crushing him effortlessly!
And now that this Guardian Beast wasn't attacking him, could it be...
His gaze fell on Gu Xing.
Could it be that they want him to be a sparring partner?
Seeing Gu Xing shaking and adjusting his body, he immediately solidified this assumption.
As Gu Xing shook his hands, he gradually got accustomed to the new body attributes.
Though the Blood Domain's suppression made his movements clumsy, it was exactly what he needed.
This comprehensive resistance ironically accelerated his mastery over the surging attributes.
"Continue!"
He suddenly stomped the ground, charging forward again.
The Blood Race Commander hastily activated the Domain, only to realize Gu Xing's speed had doubled at least compared to before!
Facing the punch from Gu Xing, he desperately raised his hand to block.
But he found...
"Boom——!"
Tremendous force exploded through his arm bones, the Blood Race Commander flew back like a kite with its string cut, plowing a trench dozens of meters long.
After a while, he trembled and crawled out from the rubble, his shattered arm bones slowly healing under the Blood Race's strong recovery ability.
This... is he really human?!
His attributes are even higher than mine?
His gaze locked onto Gu Xing who was stretching his body, cold sweat pouring.
If this continues, he certainly wouldn't endure more than a few punches.
Should he...
While this human hasn't fully mastered his body yet, take him down...
A trace of killing intent seeped from him.
But in the next moment...
Two fierce killing intents instantly locked onto him!
His body froze, a chill ran from his toes to the back of his head.
What's happening?
At this moment.
Liu Li and Qing Shuang emerged from Gu Xing's Beast Taming Space, appearing next to Vera.
Their eyes were filled with icy severity.
This Blood Race actually intends to kill their master?
Both Guardian Beasts silently sentenced this Blood Race to death in their hearts.
However, Gu Xing noticed the Guardian Beasts' gazes locked onto the Blood Race, he turned his head and said:
"Stay calm! I have my own rhythm, let me handle this Blood Race!"
Vera, Liu Li, and Qing Shuang looked at Gu Xing, their eyes softened, indicating their understanding.
But only the Blood Race understood...
Three powerful presences were firmly locking him in place.
Should he make any move, he had no doubt the three Guardian Beasts would act decisively.
"Alright, now we can continue!"
Upon hearing the human's words, this Blood Race was struck with a sudden urge to cry.
With three such powerful Guardian Beasts, this human could easily kill him, yet chose to torment him!
He wanted to escape...
But found out, the three Guardian Beasts had unknowingly blocked all his escape routes.
"Continue, or—die now."
Qing Shuang's calm voice plunged the Blood Race into despair.
The ensuing battle marked his most humiliating moment in his long Blood Race life.
He had to pathetically dodge the human's attacks while precisely controlling his strength—
It couldn't be too weak, lest he lose his opponent's interest, nor too strong to harm the opponent.
Finally catching an opportunity to counterattack, he was about to strike—
"Hm?"
Three terrifying presences simultaneously locked onto him!
The naked threat of death instantly deflated him, forcing him to retract his killing move.
Aggrieved!
Too aggrieved!
