Crazy Leveling System Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039

The whip cracked continuously as Earth Monarch Tegu swung it, retreating as he attacked. His method was flawless. He used the whip’s advantage to maintain a distance, making it difficult for Yi Tianyun to land his most violent attacks.
After several attacks, Yi Tianyun’s ferocious power was mostly drained and absorbed by the whip. Unless he continued to muster more strength and launch a full-scale assault, he wouldn’t even be able to touch Earth Monarch Tegu, let alone harm him.
In this situation, Yi Tianyun had gained no advantage; instead, his energy had been significantly siphoned off. If that whip landed on his body, it would draw out even more energy, possibly even his essence blood.
“Soul Devouring Divine Art, a low-grade Heavenly Dao martial art. No wonder it’s so powerful.”
Yi Tianyun quickly realized the nature of Earth Monarch Tegu’s martial art. Such a deep foundation couldn’t be weak, especially since it could be used with a weapon, making it extremely sinister.
The whip was obviously custom-made; ordinary weapons wouldn’t have this effect.
Yi Tianyun’s attacks were neutralized, giving everyone a new perspective on Earth Monarch Tegu.
“This guy’s attacks are weird. He just pierced Earth Monarch Yuhua with one spear, but it doesn’t work at all against this guy.”
“Anyone who makes it to the top four isn’t simple. I think Earth Monarch Tegu is a dark horse and might take second place!”
“First place is undoubtedly Earth Monarch Tianqing. The second might be him… Does this mean Earth Monarch Tianyun’s violence does not affect him?”
“Seems that way. Earth Monarch Tianyun’s attacks are stronger than before, yet they still have no effect.”
People began to discuss who had the best chance of winning.
Earth Monarch Tegu didn’t stop his attack, swinging his whip at Yi Tianyun. His attacks appeared gentle, even soft.
Yi Tianyun quickly parried with the Tianchen Divine Spear. “Snap!” Upon contact, a surge of energy exploded on the spear, bouncing him to the side.
What seemed like a gentle attack had the explosive power of a bomb on his spear. More importantly, it siphoned off his energy as if the whip was a conduit.
“Thousand Shadow Whip!”
Earth Monarch Tegu didn’t relent, swinging the whip rapidly. In an instant, it split into thousands, attacking from all directions like a dense rain of swords. Each strike stripped away more of Yi Tianyun’s energy.
However, Yi Tianyun blocked with his spear, steadily advancing. But with each step forward, Earth Monarch Tegu retreated, maintaining the distance.
Even Yi Tianyun’s penetrating attacks were absorbed by the whip.
“How is his defense so strong? He’s blocking all my attacks!” Earth Monarch Tegu was frustrated that his relentless assault hadn’t landed a significant hit.
Finally, during the wild attacks, Earth Monarch Tegu managed to land a hit on Yi Tianyun. The whip glowed blood-red, drawing a few drops of blood from Yi Tianyun into Earth Monarch Tegu’s body.
“It’s happening!”
Earth Monarch Tegu’s eyes lit up, thinking he had finally found what he wanted. But upon absorbing the blood, he realized it was ordinary.
“What? Human blood, not essence blood!?” Earth Monarch Tegu’s face darkened. He expected to absorb powerful essence blood, possibly even unique blood, from Yi Tianyun.
Instead, he got ordinary blood.
“This whip absorbs blood. And you say you’re not from the Evil Spirit Race?” Yi Tianyun’s voice echoed in his ears, startling him. Yi Tianyun had closed the distance without him noticing.
When Earth Monarch Tegu tried to whip him again, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eye. “Boom!” The spear struck his back.
“Ugh…”
With a groan, Earth Monarch Tegu was sent flying, blood blossoming from his back and staining his clothes. He quickly regained his balance and landed, albeit shakily.
“Evil Spirit Race!?”
The term immediately aroused suspicion among the audience, drawing their attention to Earth Monarch Tegu.
“Earth Monarch Tianyun, I respect you as my opponent, but you can’t slander me just to win!” Earth Monarch Tegu said sternly. “My martial arts are a bit sinister, but that doesn’t make me an Evil Spirit Race member. I’ve already explained this! If being sinister makes one Evil Spirit Race, then that’s too arbitrary.”
“I was thoroughly tested to compete here. Are you doubting the five Divine Realms’ ability to detect such things?”
He refused to admit it, instead turning the accusation against Yi Tianyun, trying to discredit him.
“Right, Earth Monarch Tianyun must think he can’t win, so he’s resorting to slander!”
“That’s low. Winning like that is disgraceful.”
“Exactly. If you can’t win, don’t tarnish your opponent’s reputation.”
Many thought Yi Tianyun was being unfair. After all, Earth Monarch Tegu had been thoroughly tested during bone age checks and other evaluations, making it unlikely he was an Evil Spirit Race member.
Yi Tianyun’s accusation seemed suspicious.
“Don’t worry, I was just speculating. You seem quite nervous about it,” Yi Tianyun replied with a calm smile.
He had a good idea of Earth Monarch Tegu’s intentions: to absorb the essence blood of many geniuses for his use. No wonder he attacked slowly, trying to siphon his opponents’ essence blood bit by bit.
While it looked sinister, it didn’t necessarily confirm he was Evil Spirit Race. Such abilities weren’t exclusive to them, and the thorough tests might have missed this deeply hidden trait. Without such deep concealment, he wouldn’t have dared to participate in the Ascension Battle.
“Speculating? Earth Monarch Tianyun, you must be responsible for your words!” Earth Monarch Tegu’s voice turned cold. “I respect you as my opponent, but slandering me is unacceptable!”
Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. A thief calling out “thief.”
“Let’s see how I force you to reveal your true form, little one!” Yi Tianyun’s eyes turned cold as he formulated a plan.
