Chapter 286: Make a Comeback
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Chen Bai Li stared at Lu Shu for an extended period of time, trying to recall what he was about to say. He really could not understand how this Daoyuan Class student could run to catch a poisonous snake and pluck out two of its teeth during their conversation and came back to continue afterwards.
His eyes were glowing as if he has just seen the Matrix Eye just now.
Lu Shu coughed a bit as he felt awkward due to the constant staring. “Please continue.”
Chen Baili finally recalled what he was about to say, “Guard me, I need to recondition my meridians and recover from my injuries before my opponent recovers. Don’t worry too much, looking at the severity of his injury, his power is going to decrease dramatically, he will not risk coming back so soon, just keep me away from the animals.”
“No problem,” I’m good at dealing with little animals, Lu Shu thought to himself.
Just then, Lu Shu felt something moving below his feet. He looked down and realised that the soil where he and Chen Baili were standing on was rolling beneath their feet.
The soil that was initially in blocks turned into crushed powdery soil, just like sand in the desert.
Lu Shu felt the great movement below his feet. He felt that Chen Baili was exaggerating the severity of the opponent’s injury, as if he was that badly injured, he would not have the excess energy to stir up this chaos.
The truth was that Chen Baili fell into the trap of the enemy here. The enemy was well-known as how can someone of Grade B awakening be a small fry?
Before the revitalisation of magical energy, he was an elite mercantile. With the revitalisation of magical energy, he was awoken by enduring tough battles which then he continued to awaken with his tremendous potential.
This time, his filtration tactic was very extreme too. Using the legendary Mid-soil Escape method, he crossed all boundaries smooth while no one could detect such extreme filtration, not even with the all-capable Heavenly Network.
Even though Chen Bai Li was caught by surprise, he still got the upperhand during the fight. With his abilities, he was outstanding even in Grade B.
But the biggest problem was that just like Li Xuanyi, Chen Baili forcefully obtained Heaven and Earth fates during the era of exhausted magical energy and thus, injured the foundation of his magical energy. Thus, the destruction of his magical energy foundation made it difficult for him to use his full fighting abilities.
Now, he needed to stabilize his shaken foundation.
However, the enemy, with his rich battle experience, seemed to know this very well and launched continuous attacks, one after another.
The empty ground of a football field size had all its soil turned into dry and fine sand that swirl around the two of them like snakes, ready to consume them anytime.
Chen Bai Li gave a cold laugh and while sitting still, Lu Shu saw a ring of wave spreading outwards from the old Taoist priest. The wave froze all the swirling sand in their three-metre radius.
That was not all the Taoist priest got, Lu Shu witnessed the sand around them starting to spread outwards, going down just like a tide at the sea.
It felt weird, as if all things on earth were within their control. Lu Shu suddenly realised what it means to be a class B: connecting with heaven and earth, using the rules of heaven and earth.
For A class they will be in resonance with heaven and earth.
” What are you planning to do?”, Lu Shu wondered, you are going to leave now, together with the sand?
To be very honest, with Lu Shu’s current capabilities, it was hard for him to fully understand the battle between the B-grade experts. Nonetheless, he realised Chen Baili’s face tensed up.
The night was peaceful and quiet but yet, there was the sound of sand moving outwards which felt creepy.
Meanwhile, on the outside, the sand level was rising, as though they were building sand walls, forming the shape of a giant cage.
The cage-shaped sand walls blocked all the light from the surrounding weird trees and the world suddenly darkened while the air was still.
Just a second later, the sand walls came back like a wave during a tsunami… Right, if there was low tide, there would also be high tide.
Lu Shu was shaken by the enormous power borrowed from the heaven and earth. He realised the enormous gap between C and B grades. Without the combined attack of five to six people together, there was no way to match up to them.
The sand flew towards them at an extreme high speed, leaving them trapped with nowhere to hide. Just when Lu Shu was about to take out his spear to break one of the oncoming sand tide, a small green sword that was as clear as jade flew out from Chen Baili’s sleeve.
The little sword flew towards the tide with a soft ringing noise and disappeared into the gigantic sand tide, like a needle that dropped into the sea. Faint noises of stones colliding with metal objects came from the sand tide.
Lu Shu witnessed how Chen Baili’s breath significantly slowed down the moment his sword collided with the sand tide. Soon after, he heard a man’s aching cries from the outside of the sand tide.
Suddenly, the wall collapsed!
Chen Baili did not move at all before this, he even closed his eyes when he was in great danger. Lu Shu thought that was the end because even this Heavenly King gave up on defending. However, Chen Baili actually chose the most violent method and directly used the flying sword to find the man who was controlling the sand tide.
He was actually using his magical instincts to track his opponent before he paused and focused.
Chen Bai Li was exhausted, he sat down cross-legged to rest. It was obvious that the opponent also used a lot of his energy just now.
There was nothing to be spotted beyond the sand tide but Lu Shu made a move.
The opponent was definitely badly injured by now, if not why would Chen Bai Li chose to rest and recover and why did the opponent stop attacking? Lu Shu felt that it was the best time for him to attack. This was actually the first time he was going against a B-grade expert. Even though the opponent was badly injured, he was definitely still much stronger than a normal C-grade practitioner, like how a dying tiger is stronger than a domestic cat.
Lu Shu dashed into the woods. He could still feel the opponent’s energy. For safety purposes, Lu Shueven took out the compass in his pocket to direct himself.
The speed of C-grade power-system fighters was not much slower than B-grade’s as they represented the limit of human’s strength!Honestly, Lu Shu did not want to let the B-grade expert go and gave him a chance to recover and attack again.He personally saw that the old Taoist priest had already used so much force such that his foundation had been shaken. If the opponent recovered before the old Taoist priest, what could be done if he went on a killing spree?
After all, Lu Shu had this burning confidence deep inside. At that moment, he believed it was not impossible for him to defeat the severely injured B-grade fighter!
And that being said, since he offered to help in this fight, he must fight!
