Chapter 457: Battle!

Clang!

Fan Pan furrowed his brows when he noticed that the youth before him was completely fine. The youth looked like he was a few years younger than Fan Pan (but a few years older than Lin Xiao), but his cultivation was so stable.

He smirked. "Do you really think that such an attack will be able to defeat me?"

Bang!

With a wave of his hand, Fan Pan was pushed back. If not for his agile movement, he would have been injured.

"Fire element, water element, metal element, and wind element." The youth nodded as he looked at the four of them. "How complete, but unfortunately, you're not a match against me!"

Earthquake of Disaster!

Bang! Slash! Slash!

The moment the move strike, the earth was rumbling, destroying their rhythm. Even though they were all trying their best to stand firm, the opponent managed to use this chance to wound them.

"Damn it, Fan Pan, defeat him!"

"Easy for you to say that." Fan Pan's eyes narrowed as he brought his hand down with his swords that was covered in fire.

Fire Storm!

Bang!

The youth blocked the attack and smirked. "Do you have misconception about Golden Core Stage 9?"

Thud!

Being pushed to the back, Fan Pan coughed lightly. His eyes narrowed as he gripped his sword tighter. Taking a deep breath, he had calmed down instantly as if there was nothing that could disturb him.

The next second, Fan Pan had disappeared and there was sound of rumblings. The cave trembled as destruction spread from Fan Pan.

Thunder of Judgement!

BOOM!

The youth's eyes widened as he raised his hand.

Turtle Shell Shield!

BOOM!

"Waa!"

The spectators were all terrified as they moved further away to avoid getting involved. They were stunned when they saw that the walls were cracked. Some of them were even afraid that it would be destroyed.

Thankfully, the walls were repaired at speed visible to the naked eyes.

Lin Xiao was also surprised. But his eyes landed on them as his brows furrowed. "Golden Core Stage 9 is that strong?"

"It's not that that strong but that youth is fully equipped with treasure. You only have one slightly powerful weapon but his entire body is covered in treasure that could amplify his defense, attack, and even give him protection." Lin Hu shook his head.

The differences between those who were born at the small kingdoms and those from bigger kingdoms were very clear.

Their treasures were naturally very different.

"Impossible." Lan Qing Xi was stunned when he saw Fan Pan was flung back and the youth remained unscathed. It was clear that he was very unwilling to see them loss so badly like this.

Fan Pan wiped the blood on the corner of his lips as he looked at the youth before him. How could he forget that these rich nth generations were all very rich and had countless treasures.

They would never lack in treasure.

The youth smirked. "Done with your game? Now…."

Before he could finish speaking, there was sudden attack from the back. His eyes widened as he swiftly deployed his skill once more.

Turtle Shell Shield!

Boom!

"Who is it?" The youth yelled angrily. He didn't expect that the spectator would suddenly jump in to help out.

Lin Xiao naturally didn't wish to reveal his presence so quickly. He had swiftly moved close to the youth as his sword stretched forward.

Chilling Lake Sword, Ninth Stance!

The cold air spread within the place. Everyone felt as if they were in the middle of ice age as they saw that at some unknown point of time, an attack that consisted of cold Qi had rushed towards the youth.

Turtle Shell Shield!

Bang!

The attack was blocked but the skill was also broken at the same time. It clashed with the metal shield that the youth wore as he staggered backwards. His eyes turned red in anger.

Lin Xiao was instead surprised. He didn't expect that Chilling Lake Sword would be able to deal such heavy damage.

"There are three reasons. First, you have high attainment in Chilling Lake Sword that your sword skill has invoked the will and filled with sword intent." Lin Hu didn't know when Lin Xiao understood them but he could guess that it was when Lin Xiao was battling with others.

"Second, you're naturally gifted when it comes to lake element. Since you're the Lake Emperor, your attainment naturally reaches even higher than what ordinary people can possibly hope to achieve. Because of that, you can display a skill of lake element twice the original power.

Third, your Qi is denser even at the same rank… which is the contribution of your constitution that you get after the inheritance."

Some inheritance could change one's constitution, but Lin Xiao's current constitution was even rare in the biggest kingdom. Only some people such as Long Hao and some other supreme genius would be lucky enough to have it.

It was only because Lin Xiao obtained it late and had some period where he had to adapt that he naturally couldn't advance as fast as those people.

"Do you have to explain everything so clearly?" Lin Xiao was speechless.

Lin Hu snorted. He was only explaining so that Lin Xiao could understand why he was stronger. But of course, since Lin Xiao was stronger, it also meant that he advanced slower than others.

The amount of Qi he needed was much more than normal people.

"Impossible!" the youth was stunned and coughed out blood. He could feel that the defense of his body was faintly ruptured. He looked at Lin Xiao with hatred. "Who are you?"

"Just a passerby," Lin Xiao replied as he circulated his Qi. Even though it was powerful, Chilling Lake Sword ninth stance naturally used up a lot of Qi.

Fan Pan noticed Lin Xiao and his brows furrowed. "You're here?"

"Yes. I didn't expect to see you, though." Lin Xiao grinned. He waved his hand nonchalantly to the other two as if he was not in the middle of a fight.
