I Can Extract Divine Power

Chapter 355 - 154: New Divine Power

Lv Bei asked, confused, "Then why are you so calm?"

He just couldn’t quite figure it out.

After all, while Chen Yu said it didn’t affect him, Lv Bei had no idea what he was truly thinking.

Chen Yu shook his head. "I know you both think I’m devastated and won’t recover, but that’s not it. Haven’t you noticed? Shen Bai’s most powerful attack was just neutralized."

His words snapped everyone back to reality, and they realized a crucial point.

Shen Bai’s Sword Qi was incredibly powerful, capable of shattering metal and stone, yet his Swordsmanship had no effect on the aberration.

Many of the nearby Observatory members overheard what Chen Yu said.

They all glanced over with a hint of worry, their gazes eventually settling on Feng Zheng.

Even though Shen Bai had eliminated all of them, that was during the internal assessment.

Everyone was just a temporary enemy.

Outside of this assessment, they were all colleagues, so there were no hard feelings.

Losing to a superior opponent was their own problem to deal with, and everyone was quite mature about it.

Now, with Shen Bai fighting the aberration all alone in there, everyone was on the edge of their seats for him.

Their anxiety grew, especially since Shen Bai’s Sword Qi seemed to have no effect on the giant-mouthed aberration.

Feng Zheng’s brow furrowed. He turned to the other judges beside him and asked, "Do either of you have a way to help Shen Bai?"

The elder from the Daoist Sect shook his head. "We can’t even get inside. How are we supposed to help him? It’s impossible."

The old Monk from the Buddhist Sect also shook his head. "If we could get in, the three of us could probably handle this aberration. But since we can’t even enter, how could we possibly help Lord Shen?"

Hearing their responses, Feng Zheng fell silent.

He had essentially dug his own grave, or rather, been tricked into it by Wang Tianxing.

Initially, for the sake of fairness—and to demonstrate that fairness should their superiors ever investigate—they had all been barred from entering the assessment area.

If one wanted to enter, one would have to have the four builders modify it again, but that would take time—a great deal of time.

Now, it had become a cage, trapping them outside.

The Third Prince’s regal air vanished in that instant.

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

He valued Shen Bai immensely. Even if Shen Bai chose not to side with him, to be honest, as the Third Prince, his appreciation for talent alone made him admire Shen Bai greatly.

But now, with the rising star of the Great Zhou Country locked in a bitter struggle, he couldn’t help but grow more concerned.

Just then, Death Night, who stood beside the Third Prince, spoke.

"My lords, there is no need to be anxious."

When Death Night spoke, not only Feng Zheng, but the other members of the Observatory as well, all turned to look.

Feng Zheng frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

Death Night didn’t answer, instead asking, "This man is supposedly Lord Shen’s friend. Why is he so composed?"

He was speaking to Ouyang Sword.

While everyone else was on pins and needles, Ouyang Sword alone remained relaxed, as if the entire situation was of no concern.

Hearing this and feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Ouyang Sword scratched his head. "Brother Shen is just playing around in there."

"Why is everyone so anxious?"

Playing around?

Feng Zheng’s frown deepened. "What makes you say he’s playing around?"

Ouyang Sword wanted to explain, but he found he couldn’t quite put it into words.

After all, he knew Shen Bai’s true strength better than anyone.

So far, Shen Bai had only used a single style of Swordsmanship.

He hadn’t even begun to use his other abilities. If that wasn’t playing around, what was?

But feeling their collective gaze, Ouyang Sword figured he had better explain a little more, or they might just string him up and beat him.

Ouyang Sword gathered his thoughts before speaking.

"Brother Shen is known as the Six Extremes Young Master. ’Six Extremes’ refers to six different Ultimate Techniques. He has only used his Swordsmanship so far, so you really have nothing to worry about."

His words reminded everyone of Shen Bai’s famous title in the Jianghu.

The title "Six Extremes Young Master" wasn’t just for show, nor was it unearned.

It meant that Shen Bai possessed six formidable Ultimate Techniques.

Swordsmanship was only one of them.

Hearing this, Feng Zheng breathed a small sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What are his other Ultimate Techniques?"

He was genuinely curious now. But along with his curiosity, he felt a bit exasperated.

’To think a treasure like this was snatched up by that fellow Liu Wufeng.’

Ouyang Sword shook his head. "It’s not my place to say. You’ll all see for yourselves."

After he said that, no one asked any further questions. All eyes returned to the mirror suspended in mid-air.

In the mirror, Shen Bai had already unleashed several more strikes.

Each blast of Sword Qi was met by a jet of black light from the giant-mouthed aberration and vanished without a trace.

Poised in the sky, Shen Bai held Cold Moon, the hem of his robes fluttering in the wind.

He looked down at the giant-mouthed aberration and said with a hint of disappointment, "I thought you might actually be exciting. What a letdown. Come to think of it, only the Sect Leader of the Upper Evil Sect ever managed to give me a real thrill."

Saying this, Shen Bai raised his left hand.

"This farce should end."

He had just been testing the waters, probing its abilities as a precaution.

But after seeing that the giant-mouthed aberration did nothing but spit out that black light, he decided it wasn’t anything special.

That being the case, he decided to end this quickly. Once he was done here, he could get back to grinding his Skill Level.
