Chapter 1896: You’re Right
Apart from Lin Xuan, soon the rest of the powerhouses had ended their battles.
The same scene from yesterday was playing out on the battlefield again. Lin Xuan was the only one left fighting with an Abyssal monster.
However, none of the spectators were judging him.
The fact that he was fighting here at such a time was sufficient proof that his ability was ranked among the first-tier powerhouses in the infinite universe.
Not only that, many people could clearly see that his performance in this round was much better than yesterday.
Although he did not cause any substantial damage to his opponent throughout the one hour or so period, he was clearly much more stable now. Not only that, he had been gradually taking control of the battle.
The wise ones could see that it was only a matter of time before he won, so long as he did not make any mistakes.
In reality, Lin Xuan’s biggest issue was not that he elevated too quickly.
Just like the sword servants, he elevated through the acc.u.mulation of rich resources, but he actually took some time. It was just that it was completed under the over six billion times of time flow acceleration in Lin Huang’s Kingdom.
It seemed like he had only used half a year to elevate to dominator-level rank-9. In reality, he had spent at least three billion years.
In terms of foundation, he was perfectly fine.
It was just that he spent most of his time on cultivation, so his real battle capabilities were slightly weaker.
Even when he hunted in the mystic territories, he had never encountered dominator-level rank-9 enemies.
Given the psychological burden he had been feeling, it naturally caused his performance in the previous battle to be below par.
However, he had put down that burden in this round entirely. Furthermore, thanks to his experience in the previous battle, he could finally unleash his real abilities now.
His opponent was a monster with a sword and a s.h.i.+eld that possessed both attack and defense capabilities.
Not only did it possess attack abilities that were no weaker than Lin Xuan, it had powerful defensive abilities too.
Throughout the hour or so period, Lin Xuan did not manage to find an opportunity to break through the situation.
However, he did not panic at all. He had even immersed himself in the battle completely. He had forgotten that there were people around him watching.
After immersing himself in the battle, he started treating the opponent as a training partner completely, gradually unleas.h.i.+ng his talent as a saber cultivator fully.
After attacking frantically for over two hours, the defenses of the monster with the sword and s.h.i.+eld crumbled for a moment.
Lin Xuan caught that moment to decisively pierce the tip of his saber through the gap in its defenses. Hundreds of saber gleams shot out manically, crus.h.i.+ng the monster’s head.
Watching the headless carca.s.s fall on the ground, Lin Xuan released a long sigh of relief.
This battle had been unprecedentedly fun!
Watching as he returned to the Sword Alliance’s camp, Sword Palace’s palace master nodded with satisfaction as he stroked his beard. “I didn’t expect that the Sword Alliance would manage to train such an outstanding saber cultivator!”
Although Lin Xuan took the longest time, his battle had received everyone’s approval.
After returning to Sword Alliance’s camp, he quickly reviewed the battle and simulated the entire battle in his head. He wanted to know if there was anything that he could improve on.
The tenth midnight had pa.s.sed, and the 11th day remained peaceful.
At midnight of the eleventh day, everyone began to look a little nervous when they saw black fog lingering on the ootheca again.
A moment later, its tentacle spat out a monster again.
All of the pupils of the dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses present shrunk the moment they saw the monster.
The reason being was that this dominator-level rank-9 monster’s aura really was that of a powerhouse who had mastered a billion chaotic cosmoses.
This time, before anyone did anything, Sword Palace’s palace master swung his sword directly from a distance, killing this gigantic Abyssal monster.
Although he killed the Abyssal monster instantly, everyone present looked quite terrible.
The appearance of this monster proved that Nyarlathotep had not exaggerated at all.
This ootheca could really breed dominator-level rank-9 monsters that had mastered a billion chaotic cosmoses.
Lin Xin frowned as she looked at the monster carca.s.s on the ground.
She began to worry about the battles later on.
Bai, who was standing to the side, seemed to have seen through her concerns. He pressed his hand on her shoulder.
“You have us.”
Lin Xin calmed down hearing that. She nodded at Bai. “I’m okay.”
The 11th day pa.s.sed by gloomily. Soon, it was midnight once again.
That night, the ootheca bred two dominator-level rank-9 monsters that had mastered a billion chaotic cosmoses.
It was still Sword Palace’s palace master who attacked. He killed the two monsters instantly.
Although that was the case, the gloomy atmosphere did not ease up at all.
At midnight on the thirteenth day, the breeding pattern from the ootheca finally changed. This time, the number of the Abyssal monsters it bred doubled directly. There were four of them.
The Sword Palace’s palace master attacked again. He killed four monsters with a single swing of his sword.
At midnight on the fourteenth day, the number of the Abyssal monsters it bred doubled again. There were eight this time.
The Sword Palace’s palace master attacked again, killing the eight Abyssal monsters instantly.
Many of the people present were shocked by his terrifying abilities.
On the fifteenth day, the ootheca bred sixteen monsters.
The number of monsters had surpa.s.sed the number of dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses present there.
The Sword Palace’s palace master still swung his sword and killed the sixteen Abyssal monsters instantly without suspense.
On the sixteenth day, the number of monsters the ootheca bred doubled again. There were now thirty-two of them.
This time, before the Sword Palace’s palace master could attack, Dragon Emperor attacked first.
He slapped out with his palm. As if suppressed by a mountain, his slap killed all thirty-two of the Abyssal monsters directly.
After winning the battle, he said to the Sword Palace’s palace master while smiling, “What you’ve been doing is annoying. Others haven’t had the chance to fight at all.”
“I haven’t had my fill of fun killing them yet.” The Sword Palace’s palace master wore a cold expression.
Naturally, he was not upset with Dragon Emperor, but rather the ootheca before them.
Since the rule Nyarlathotep revealed had proven right again, he was very upset. Therefore, he vented his anger on those Abyssal monsters.
Bai frowned. To him, Dragon Emperor and the Sword Palace’s palace master had exposed their abilities too soon.
Although they did not use their full force, Nyarlathotep, who was observing everything secretly, would definitely have a rough idea of their abilities judging by their attacks.
This was not good news to Bai who was tasked with buying time for Lin Huang.
He finally could not hold himself back and spoke after a moment of hesitation.
“Can you seniors give us young people the opportunity to train? After all, we don’t have many chances to meet opponents of such caliber. When the next round comes, when the monsters would have mastered ten billion chaotic cosmoses, most of us present won’t even have the opportunity to attack.”
What Bai said made many look at him in surprise.
Although they knew that Bai was also at dominator-level rank-9, none of them present thought he had the abilities to challenge the other two.
The Sword Palace’s palace master stared at Bai for a moment before nodding. “You’re right. You guys will go first tomorrow.”
Dragon Emperor, who was standing to the side, also nodded with a smile. “I think you’re right too. We should give young people more opportunities!”
