“It won’t be a bad thing if he creates a path of his own. People with Reincarnation Divine Constitutions aren’t obliged to master the path of time and space. Many have tried that, and it’s easy to succeed; however, it’s too predictable and boring.”
Another Celestial expert defended Diaz, but there was also a head shake mixed in, thinking that Diaz’s performance was not remarkable.
Shen Huang didn’t say anything; he was already aware of Diaz’s abilities.
The kid had great gifts, and he could always teach him even if he was on the wrong path.
Su Ping, on the other hand, proved to be a pleasant surprise with an unrecorded super constitution. He was definitely a rare genius.
Maybe there would be ten top constitutions in the Federation in the future, rather than nine!
On the void battlefield—
Diaz and Su Ping vacated the area; their battle had ended sooner than many people thought. However, those who had grasped the whole situation became solemn, knowing that Su Ping was very strong since he had defeated the Reincarnation Divine Constitution with ease.
Besides, the smart ones could tell that Su Ping had yet to try his best.
For starters, he had only merged with his skeleton.
Normal battle pet warriors might not have realized it, but most of the people present were knowledgeable; they were very much aware that the skeleton attachment was different from pet merging.
He would have been a lot stronger had he merged with his pet; the quality of his pet would have been made evident.
However, he had won easily even without the pet, which made him the center of public attention.
“I didn’t know that you had such a unique constitution,” Su Jin’er remarked in astonishment after Su Ping returned.
She stared at Su Ping, as if she were trying to see him through. It was hard to believe for her, that her body, forged with a lot of rare materials, couldn’t compare to Su Ping’s natural body. It was truly infuriating.
“Now I really believe that you’ll rise to the top three. Although you’re not as good as that monk, very few others are stronger than you.” Su Jin’er sighed.
Su Ping’s performances so far had made her feel like he could rise to the top five or even become the champion. However, she dropped the idea after seeing the battle between Six Lives Buddha and Dragon Shepard. After all, there were too many geniuses this year, and Six Lives Buddha was absolutely domineering.
“Maybe,” said Su Ping.
He felt slightly regretful since he had to expose his strength after trying to hide it all along.
However, he would have had to expose his other methods if he wanted to hide the Sorcerer’s Divine Constitution.
In comparison—while his constitution was one of his trump cards—he hadn’t fully grasped it yet. The field he had established was already the best he could do at the moment.
That technique was able to suppress a lot of other constitutions; it was a truly powerful technique.
“If only Six Lives Buddha weren’t here. How unlucky for us.” Su Jin’er shook her head as she gazed at the monk with regret.
It was a sad and helpless thing, to have been born in the same age as those geniuses had.
The third battle began right then.
This time, Luo Ying would fight another top ten player.
Both of them showed extraordinary strength the moment they entered the battlefield. Luo Ying turned out to have one of the nine divine constitutions too: it was called Floating Light.
That constitution was known as the fastest in the universe.
It could transform his body into light, as well as attack at the speed of light. Only Star Lords could fend someone like him by covering themselves with their small worlds and changing the laws in the small worlds to have the chance to capture the light.
It would be impossible for people with inferior cultivation to touch the light with their senses.
Even if they managed to sense the light, they would still be hit before they could react.
It was obviously another unbelievable constitution.
Aside from that, Luo Ying had grasped flawless laws of light, space and lightning, which were all focused on agility, making him even more unpredictable.
His opponent was quite horrifying too, since he had a top demon constitution and a better understanding of laws. The man was also using a secret enhancement technique that turned him into a dozen-meters-tall giant with infinite physical strength, which enabled him to shatter the mountains on the battlefield with ease.
One of them showed a shocking speed, while the other showed physical strength of a level that was rare even among Star Lords.
The battle was quite fierce, but Luo Ying prevailed in the end, emerging completely unscathed when the battle was over!
Many were dumbfounded yet again, thinking that Six Lives Buddha was already the strongest, but Luo Ying turned out to be surprisingly strong too.
Although the monk was able to summon his future self, such self-version was limited to the peak of the Star State and was incapable of using the truly best skills of that level.
If that were possible, his summoned self would also summon his following future self, which would have been terrifying!
However, Six Lives Buddha’s future self was obviously incapable of that; it wasn’t hard to tell that he could hardly beat a real Star Lord!
Luo Ying, on the other hand, could hardly be restrained given his agility. There was no clear way to gauge how a battle between them would turn out.
Diaz didn’t look very happy when Luo Ying won.
The guy’s constitution was as good as his, but the former was clearly better at using it than he was.
“Damn it!”
Diaz gritted his teeth. Probably not even Luo Ying would be able to defeat him if he would have developed his constitution further. Both of their constitutions were among the best, but his was clearly better in head-on clashes!
He could stand undefeated by renewing himself.
The guy couldn’t hurt him, and he could kill the former instantly, as soon as he located his weakness!
Time flew.
Very soon, the first round of the battles was over.
The four victors were Six Lives Buddha, Su Ping, Luo Ying and Lilian.
Lilian was the only girl among them. She had the weird ability to make everything wither, and would have succeeded in convincing people that she had the Reincarnation Divine Constitution too.
Similarly, her technique looked like “Destruction,” one of the four supreme laws!
The four victors took a rest afterwards, while the four who lost took turns to fight.
The new winners and the four invict participants would fight again for the top three positions!
The battlefield in space wasn’t closed. Once the battle was over, Mu Shen showed up and had many Ascendant experts deliver some delicacies to the observers.
Everyone had a joyful rest; the battle continued on the following day.
Su Ping didn’t participate in the battle; he simply continued condensing his small world in You Long’s training room.
“Damn it!”
Diaz had to fight again. He only saw Six Lives Buddha in the crowd; the other three winners from the previous day didn’t show up. He looked awful, feeling humiliated given that Su Ping wasn’t present. Is my battle not worth watching, at all?
He was intending to show his real capabilities in that fight, so that Su Ping would see that he had failed because of carelessness!
The battles began soon after.
The fights between the previous days’ losers were very harsh and cruel too, because they would be completely eliminated if they failed again.
Dragon Shepard showed up, since he had lost on the first day, having found replacements for the seven dragons he detonated. They were much weaker, but still rare and precious in the outside world.
Many were impressed by his deep pockets.
Training a dragon would often drain normal battle pet warriors of all their belongings, but it didn’t seem to be a big deal for geniuses.
Dragon Shepard won after a fierce battle. Such a victory had also been brutal, since he had to detonate five of the seven new pets to defeat his opponent!
The latter had also shown remarkable strength too; after all, he had forced the other to once again detonate his dragons, not being able to summon a future self as Six Lives Buddha did. Dragon Shepard would have also had to pay a huge price to win, even if they would have met on the first day.
Dragon Shepard became less arrogant after the battle. He had been angry since he had lost to the monk, but the latter wasn’t the only genius present.
Diaz moved forward in his second battle.
He didn’t mess with his opponent this time; he simply launched his most powerful attacks with his spear.
However, his opponent was quite tough too; the man avoided his attacks with all sorts of secret techniques.
Diaz used the Reincarnation Deprivation in the end; it was the ultimate technique he had been unable to display in the first battle!
His attack cancelled the opponent’s merging, and the pet still fused to the man’s body unavoidably perished, finally beating the latter.
“I didn’t know he had mastered that move of his constitution.”
Diaz’s performance in battle was a little bit surprising to the Celestial experts in the palace.
The Reincarnation Deprivation was the constitution’s own ability, but it wouldn’t be fully grasped until the person had developed the constitution well. Most users of the skill were at the Star Lord level, yet Diaz was already capable of using it; it was slightly unusual.
The Celestial who had defended him earlier smiled and said, “While he relies heavily on his constitution, it seems that he’s already learned something from it anyway.”
Shen Huang also smiled after seeing that happen, feeling a lot more comfortable.
…
On the third day—
Su Ping ‘s training was interrupted by You Long.
The latter didn’t know what to say about his junior brother’s cultivating devotion. He could’ve watched the battles of the previous losers, which were just as splendid. How much can he cultivate in one day?
“Junior brother, keep it up. I think highly of you,” said You Long with a smile.
He couldn’t criticize Su Ping for being hard working, because it was a good thing in itself.
It was better than going out and having fun anyway.
“Sure.”
Su Ping nodded.
Back in the field—Su Ping drew lots with other people.
He raised his eyebrows after he saw who his opponent would be.
It was Six Lives Buddha, the man who had received the most attention in the first round!
Su Ping rolled his eyes upon thinking about the guy’s future self.
Su Jin’er shook her head and felt sorry for Su Ping. “You’re truly unlucky.”
Six Lives Buddha was well-acknowledged as a potential champion.
After all, the ability to summon your future self was beyond unbelievable. Su Ping’s field was indeed special, but the man could be at the peak of the Star State!
On the other hand, Diaz was feeling regretful given that Su Ping wasn’t his opponent. He wanted to try his best to fight Su Ping again, and see how the battle would turn out!
Unfortunately, his wish didn’t come true.
His next opponent would be Lilian, the only girl among the top six.
Luo Ying’s opponent was Dragon Shepard.
I almost made it to the top in the earlier screening matches. What a shame…
Dragon Shepard had a grim demeanor when he saw his opponent. He would have had a chance of winning against Luo Ying if he hadn’t lost seven precious dragons to fight Six Lives Buddha in the first round.
However… he was truly hopeless at the moment.
He had watched Luo Ying’s battle; there would be virtually no chance to win, even if he were to detonate all his pets.
That would be too huge a price.
He might have tried his luck if it was for a shot at the championship.
However, there would be more matches the following day; it wouldn’t be convenient to sacrifice his pets.
Everybody whispered after the announcement was made; they looked forward to the competition between Su Ping and Six Lives Buddha.
Both of them had won in the first round, showing great potential.
As for the other two groups, the result of Luo Ying’s group was predictable.
There would be some suspense regarding the outcome in Diaz’ group, mainly because Lilian had ended her battle as quickly as Su Ping did. Many people didn’t know how she had managed it, that was why they were unsure whether or not she could defeat the Reincarnation Divine Constitution.
The battle in Su Ping’s group was arranged to take place in the last slot, considering that it would be the most fascinating.
Luo Ying and Dragon Shepard were the first to fight.
Unsurprisingly, Dragon Shepard was easily defeated, not being able to even touch Luo Ying’s body, although he tried his best.
It was almost a one-sided battle!
Many people sighed after seeing the result. Dragon Shepard was by no means weak, but he was ill suited for consecutive matches. He would have definitely had a shot to claim the championship if everything could be decided with a single match; detonating all his pets would do the trick.
