MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter

Chapter 709: Divine Palm of the Buddha

Xinyue Area was an area that was far higher level when compared to the areas around Leisi Area.

The area was located all the way south of the Great World of Tianji. It was a place that was on the opposite end of Leisi Area and it was quite some distance away.

The levels of the players in this area were normally quite high.

If Jiang Feng were here and able to check the stats of these old men that were in their seats in the Training Courtyard, he would be shocked to the point of speechlessness.

The white-haired old man and the other old men within the group were all at True Pill Realm. He did not even need to think to know that it must be at a level beyond Heaven Realm.

There was also a group of young people sitting crossed-legged below them. Most of them were at Heaven Realm. Only a few of them were at Earth Realm Ten Stars. There was one more person at Earth Realm Nine Stars.

It was none other than the champion from the last tournament, Sus.

Sus was a man with purple hair. There was a blade on his feet as he looked into the image of the competition in the sky with his pair of purple eyes.

At this time, he then heard a group of people sneering, “I sometimes wonder what our masters and martial uncles are thinking. These are all just a bunch of newbies fighting. What is there to look at? Why do they have to choose from them? Not to mention that those that were chosen aren’t even very powerful. I can easily kill them with one hand!”

The person that said that looked quite ordinary. His title was “Local Warrior.” It seemed that he had to be originally from the Great World of Tianji. When he said that, he would sometimes glance at Sus, his eyes filled with a sneer and a hint of grudge.

Sus was already used to the sneers from others as he had heard plenty of such words ever since he came to Xingyue Area. He did not pay them any attention and merely sat where he was and continued to look at the tournament.

***

The first round had already been completed, and the ten winners began to draw.

After ten minutes’ worth of rest, the second round of competition began.

During this round, Jiang Feng had nothing to do so he continued to watch the tournament.

At this stage, out of the top ten on the Tianji Leaderboard, only seven were left.

During the second round, four of them had to fight once again. They were Wanke from the previous fight. He was not so lucky, and had drawn to fight again.

Ladilafu who was ranked third, Leibate who was ranked fifth, and Qinghua who was ranked sixth.

During this round, the four of them did not encounter each other, and their opponents were players from outside of the top ten of the Tianji Leaderboard.

“I give up!”

“I give up!”

“I give up!”

...

The second round had just started and four of them had already given up.

When he heard that they had all given up, Jiang Feng began to frown once again.

But what he felt was interesting was that the player that was fighting Wanke did not give up. Instead, he stood with his back straight, and he looked like a manly man.

Players who failed could choose to watch from nearby.

Once Xiran had failed, she then came next to Jiang Feng and pointed at the player that was fighting Wanke and explained to Jiang Feng, “That man is called Xuechou, and he received the title of God Slayer from the God-Slayer Palace. While his realm and combat rating aren’t impressive, his Mysticism that is very mysterious is quite terrifying. I heard that he even killed Kalosi who is ranked fourth on the Tianji Leaderboard once. He is very powerful!”

Xuechou: Black Realm Ten Stars.

Combat Rating 4021

Jiang Feng looked at Xuechou’s stats. It was just as Xiran had said, his realm and combat rating were not anything impressive.

He suddenly remembered something as he looked at Xiran and asked her, “When you were fighting with Shaoqiu, why did you give up? Don’t you know that this would affect you emotionally? How will you face him again next time if you encounter him?”

“I know,” Xiran lowered her voice. She then glanced at Shaoqiu who was resting nearby. She then explained, “I was almost killed by him last time. If it wasn’t because he noticed that I came in using my real body and let me live, I would have already died a long time ago. I consider this surrender as a thank you for not killing me last time.”

No wonder.

He now understood why Xiran chose to give up. It was to repay Shaoqiu’s kindness to her.

“Oh, and here I thought that you retreated because of fear,” Jiang Feng said softly.

“Retreat? Impossible. If I can become stronger, I am willing to even face death.” There was determination in Xiran’s eyes.

Looking at Xiran’s determination, Jiang Feng knew that she must be carrying a great burden.

After they had finished chatting, his attention was once again drawn to Wanke and Xuechou.

The battle had started and he wanted to see if Xuechou could force Wanke to use his aces.

Xuechou immediately disappeared from the arena. It looked like an assassin’s stealth ability.

Wanke’s eyes had been closed all this while. Even though Xuechou disappeared, he remained unmoved. He was like a monk who had reached enlightenment.

Clang!

At this time, Wanke slowly extended his right hand and blocked the side of his neck. There was then the sound of metal clashing with each other. Next, Xuechou’s figure slowly reappeared.

The attack had been blocked, and Xuechou’s eyes were filled with surprise. He did not wait for Wanke’s counterattack before disappearing in front of their eyes once more.

“Interesting,” Jiang Feng tried to sense Xuechou when he disappeared, but he could not sense his existence. However, it was as if Wanke knew about Xuechou’s movements, and had easily block Xuechou’s attack. And that made his eyes flash with interest.

Clang! Clang...

Perhaps it was because all his attacks had been blocked, Xuechou could not help but feel resentful. The pacing of his attacks had picked up, and every time he attacked his figure would appear for a moment. And every time, it was from a different location. It was as if he knew how to teleport.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After all his attacks had been blocked dozens of blood swords appeared underneath Wanke and crashed into his body.

And it was as if his body was trained in the Vajra’s Invulnerability Divine Technique and it had blocked all the blood swords.

It was at this time when there was a blood-colored flash that left a wound on Wanke’s golden skin.

Not only was the attack not blocked, it even managed to harm Wanke. It seemed that Xuechou’s attack was no normal attack.

“Om Mani Padme Hum...”

Wanke, who was injured, began to attack. Buddhist sutras began to fly out of his mouth as he chanted, crashing all around the arena.

Very quickly, the entire arena was filled with the words from the Buddhist sutras, and it left not even a gap.

However, everyone felt that it was quite weird that Xuechou was not forced to appear.

“Divine Palm of the Buddha!”

It was at this time Wanke suddenly raised his head, and his right hand slammed into an asteroid right on top of the arena.

Boom!

“Pfft!”

A giant, golden palm print appeared and immediately smashed that asteroid. Xuechou, who was hiding on top of it, was struck to the point of being critically injured. As he fell down to the altar, he had blood flowing down from his mouth and his face was pale in color. Half his HP was gone.

Wanke closed his eyes as he had both his hands clasped together. He then said to Xuechou, “Amitabha. I do not wish to kill the living!”

Once Xuechou heard what Wanke had to say, he immediately surrendered and said, “I give up!”

He had used many of his skills but only managed to nick Wanke. Meanwhile, Wanke had only used one attack to critically injure him.

He had also used his real body to enter the Great World of Tianji. While he did not lose a lot of HP, the internal organs within his body were already battered. If he were to continue the battle, he would only be giving him a free kill.
