novel13th Brother Is Still Better! (1/4)
| ← Ch.228 | Ch.230 → |
It must be pointed out that Jin Yu was being the most emotional amongst the entire crowd, even though he was not a human.
Before entering the Primordial Battlefield, Jin Yu had been the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race's proud prodigy. Apart from Kong Meng, he looked down on all the other Southern Border demons. He had few opponents at his level, and he reigned over nearly everyone.
But after entering the Primordial Battlefield, Jin Yu had suffered blow after blow.
First, he had been at his wits' end from being shot by Qin Yundi's strange guns.
Following that, he had been captured by that Nascent Soul Blood Demon and then rescued by his sworn enemy, Shen Tian. It was such a shameful incident.
Thereafter, he had finally encountered a great fortuitous opportunity, the God of War Pagoda, and found one of the Eagle race's long-lost legacy techniques, the Eagle Seizing Dragon technique.
But then he had suffered an even greater blow!
Kong Meng was now already a five-star prodigy and ranked on the God of War list.
Meanwhile, he remained a mere three-star prodigy, completely unable to handle the sparring rounds.
Jin Yu suspected his providence must have been depleted after so many setbacks. Otherwise, why would he always meet with prodigies who clashed with his element?
First was the Archer race's Yan Se, who shot at Jin Yu until his body was full of holes.
Second was the Phoenix race, whose speed and attacks were on par with Jin Yu's and whose fire element techniques suppressed Jin Yu completely.
The third opponent's element did not suppress Jin Yu, but he was still unable to handle him.
This was because the opponent was a descendant of the Kun race. His "water binds" stopped Jin Yu from moving at his full speed, while his "water dispersion" completely neutralized Jin Yu's attacks.
In the end, Jin Yu had been dragged around until his body was tattered, and he had no choice but to admit defeat.
He had to fork out money for each battle and ended up losing every one of them.
With each successive battle, it felt like his chances of winning improved. But things always fell short in the end.
Jin Yu was then finally assigned a wood element prodigy. It seemed like his opportunity to win and make a comeback had finally arrived.
In the end, just as Jin Yu launched a fierce and mighty attack against that wood element prodigy, a weird light flashed, and he was pulled out of the battle.
Damn, I was about to win! Why did you pull me out!?
Jin Yu felt like exploding!
It was like...
A hero who had lost 10 fights in a row and finally found a low-level opponent. Just as he was about to chop that opponent's head off, his WiFi connection was disrupted?
The feathers on Jin Yu's body were all standing straight up.
If not for the fact that he didn't think he could beat the God of War Pagoda Spirit, he would definitely go on a rampage!
"Why!? God of War Pagoda Spirit, why did you pull me out before my battle ended?"
Jin Yu forced down the rage in his heart as he glared at the purple God of War Pagoda floating beside Shen Tian.
Jin Yu couldn't see Ye Qingcang's image, so he was still behaving rather politely toward the friendly female voice.
"Young golden eagle! I am truly sorry about that. This is because I have acknowledged the Divine Firmament Saint Shen Tian as my owner. All battles have been stopped for the moment.
"All fees paid for the previous battle will be borne by the pagoda. Not only that, double the amount will be remitted to your account." The anger on Jin Yu's face started to fade as he listened to the gentle female voice.
"The God of War points spent on the previous battle, you will pay back double the amount?"
Jin Yu nodded thoughtfully.
This pagoda is pretty generous, after all. She's not trying to cheat my money!
Wait a minute!
What did the pagoda lady just say?
She said the God of War Pagoda has already acknowledged Shen Tian as the owner?
My youth is over!
Does that mean from now on, I will have to ask the permission of that fellow if I want to enter the God of War Pagoda?
Jin Yu gnashed his teeth at that thought. He was the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race's prodigy, but he still had to beg this little punk?
Pagoda Spirit, didn't you say that only someone who managed to defeat the strongest prodigy in the pagoda and become a seven-star prodigy-only such a person would be worthy of becoming the owner?
Why did you acknowledge Shen Tian as your owner in just a mere 10 days' time? Is there something going on behind the scenes at the pagoda? Why are things so unfair? Jin Yu felt rather vexed, but he didn't voice his concerns out loud. This was because he knew they were unlikely to be valid.
After all, this was a pagoda from the Celestial World. How could it not be fair?
Moreover, looking at Shen Tian's earlier battle performance, he was indeed more powerful than Fairy Kong Meng. But it was just hard for Jin Yu to believe he could be that strong!
Upon looking at Shen Tian's glowing golden form, it was clear he had already started to cultivate his true body.
Jin Yu felt his scalp go numb when he recalled how he had stubbornly issued a challenge to Shen Tian to fight again when he reached the Golden Core stage.
Was there still time for him to run away with his tail between his legs?
But I have not finished spending the remaining points in my pagoda account!
Nevertheless, now that the God of War Pagoda had acknowledged its new owner, he would have to seek out Shen Tian in order to use up the rest of his points.
But if I seek him out... What if Shen Tian remembers my challenge? What should I do then?
Jin Yu was in a terrible dilemma. He felt like he was being torn in two!
Luckily, he had been sparring non-stop with same-level prodigies over the past 10 days, and Jin Yu had become mentally more resilient.
At the same time, Jin Yu was now at his most efficient at absorbing the benefits of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. His physical and mental states had been greatly boosted. Unfortunately, Jin Yu might end up following in Chen Zhongtian's footsteps and suffer a Qi Deviation.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's drew back his golden glow.
His golden body had now returned to a normal human color, but his skin had become even fairer and smoother than before.
At the same time, his muscles had become more defined. They were not like the huge bear-like muscles of those Godfiende practitioners, but more refined and lean muscles.
That was to say he looked skinny in clothes but muscular when he took them off.
Anyway, Shen Tian had become even more handsome than before.
His long black hair cascaded down like black ink, his bedroom eyes deep and profound.
He was like a star peeking out of a cloud, exceptionally enigmatic and alluring. One couldn't help being intoxicated by him.
We were born from the same father. But why is Thirteenth Brother becoming increasingly handsome?
Shen Ao couldn't help feeling both envious and proud as he observed Shen Tian, whom all the girls were staring at.
Envious as he held the same bloodline but was inferior in both looks and talent.
Proud as he felt lucky to know an exceptional prodigy like Shen Tian. And he was his very own thirteenth brother.
As long as he could set aside his groundless pride, Shen Ao could go anywhere he wanted in the cultivation world with his thirteenth brother around. His future was limitless.
Take this Primordial Battlefield trial, for example. How many fortuitous opportunities had he gained from that short one-month period?
If he hadn't followed Shen Tian, Shen Ao would have never been able to collect so many great fortuitous opportunities even if given 100 years to do so.
After all, the Dragon Blood Grass, Sword Heart Fruit, and other such items were all considered precious and supreme-grade spirit herbs. One could not buy such treasures even with all the money in the world.
Compared to the hellish training under Sword Venerable Long River... His thirteenth brother was still better!
