âI am the greatest of my level.â Suddenly, everyone felt very differently about the words that Han Sen had just spoken.
Exquisiteâs body hit the ground with a thump. When she rose to her feet, she did so like a shambling zombie. Her bloody face and broken nose had instantly returned to normal. She was as pretty as she had been before Han Senâs punch, and it didnât look as if she had sustained any injuries.
âWhat kind of geno art is that?â Exquisite asked Han Sen.
Han Sen had been able to increase his speed until he was faster than the manipulated universe. He had moved too quickly for her to even react. That wasnât something a ninth-tier King should have been able to achieve. Only a handful of half-deifieds could reach such a speed. Exquisite knew a few people who could accomplish this, but Han Sen wasnât on that short list. The ones she knew were all half-deified.
Yu Shanxin of Sky Palace was one such individual. He could move that quickly, but he used his Sky Eye and the Extreme Evil Path. Han Sen was just a crystallizer that couldnât use a Sky Eye.
âThat wasnât a geno art. It was just a simple punch.â Han Sen smiled.
âSon of a b*tch. I am now buying into Han Senâs bluffing.â
âHaha! A random punch. Well said, Brother Han.â
âThis Very High is actually quite lame. She couldnât even withstand one of Brother Hanâs punches.â
Many of the students at Sky Palace were excited. None of them liked Exquisite much. They were all happy to insult her.
Yun Suyi couldnât help but smile. âWhat is wrong with Brother Han? Is he not capable of behaving humbly?â
âHe has done what he should have. I never liked these Very High, anyway,â Yun Sushang said.
Lone Bamboo didnât say anything. He merely smiled. The audience thought Han Sen was just trying to make Exquisite mad, but he knew Han Sen was speaking the truth. It really was just a simple punch.
Lone Bamboo had fought against Han Sen once before. Han Sen really was that fast. His fitness was so high, it would be difficult to find a half-deified that could equal him.
Lone Bamboo had become one with the Purple-Eye Butterfly, which was how his own fitness had increased to unbelievable levels. But if he was compared to Han Sen, he still fell far short.
Four of Han Senâs geno arts had reached the ninth tier. His fitness had been reinforced four times. Ordinary ninth-tier Kings simply couldnât compete.
Even if Han Sen didnât use his super god spirit body, his fitness was still better than others of the same level. By a wide margin, too. Against other Kings, Han Sen really did reign supreme. His talk about being the best of his league wasnât some baseless boast. After all, there were no other creatures that could experience the reinforcement of four geno arts the way Han Sen had. In addition, the geno arts he had focused on were amongst the best ever. With the fitness he wielded, he was still a bit weak against deified creatures, but Kings and half-deifieds were no longer a serious threat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThat was a simple punch? Then let me see how many simple punches you can throw.â Although Exquisite was using her Very High Eye, she couldnât help but look a little angry.
Exquisite lifted her right arm and used the edge of her hand like a knife. With it, she tried slashing toward Han Sen. Everyone immediately realized that she was using Han Senâs own skill; this was Fang.
The students of Sky Palace were in shock. Teeth Knife wasnât an insanely good skill, but it was the Rebateâs secret geno art. Practicing it required the body of a Rebate.
It was remarkable that Han Sen was able to use it, but after all, he was Yishaâs only student. Somehow, Exquisite was able to use Teeth Knife, too. When she used it, the purple Teeth air shredded space. She was wielding the skill with more power than Han Senâs usage had possessed.
Exquisite had been in Sky Palace for a year. She hadnât been lazy during that time. Teeth Knife wasnât a secret to the Very High, and she had spent time practicing it to achieve a very high proficiency with it.
When Exquisite used her Very High Eye, the entire universe would work to help her. Her knifemind wasnât as good as Han Senâs, but the power in her strikes was above the Teeth Knife Han Sen had used earlier.
Han Sen saw the tearing space power coming toward him. The knife air was like the real, raging purple air of a dragonâs maw. Still, his expression didnât change. Running The Story of Genes at maximum, he used his own body to throw a punch toward the purple knife air.
As everyone gaped in astonishment, Han Senâs punch broke the knife air that was raging toward him. His counterattack didnât stop there, though. It flew all the way back to Exquisite and pounded her knife-hand.
Katcha!
The sound of breaking bones crunched audibly throughout the arena. The thin bones in Exquisiteâs hand were shattered by Han Senâs fist. His punch was still unstoppable, and it continued toward Exquisiteâs chest.
Exquisiteâs face had turned white, but she was able to react instantly. She used Godâs Wander to disappear from in front of Han Sen.
But Han Sen was waiting for her to appear again. When she reappeared, Han Senâs fist was still heading straight toward her.
Everyoneâs mouths opened wide. They couldnât believe their eyes.
Even Sky Palace Leader looked stunned. After a while, he said, âNot bad. He is as good as I was when I was younger.â âHeâs much stronger than you when you were young,â the woman said. She didnât feel bad about the critique.
âWhen I was young, I was stronger than a tiger. I was crueler than a wolf,â Sky Palace Leader tried to explain.
Before he was finished, the woman cut him off. âCould you bully a student of the Very High like this when you were younger?â
âUm... I did beat them...â Sky Palace Leader coughed. âThere is a big difference between âbeatingâ and âbullying,â the woman said with a roll of her eyes.
Han Sen was playing with Exquisite like a cat with a mouse.
In front of that absolute power and speed, Exquisiteâwho had previously looked like some sort of godâwas being used as a punching bag. Her bones were breaking one by one, and she couldnât maintain her regal appearance.
Exquisite used all kinds of geno arts as she tried to fight back, but her efforts were wasted. Han Senâs speed and power completely suppressed her. She couldnât dodge. She couldnât counterattack. Aside from getting pummeled, there was nothing she could do.
Han Sen was like an enraged tyrannosaurus rex right now. He ignored Exquisiteâs attacks and allowed her powers to come down on him. Her attacks made slight marks on Spellâs armor, but they disappeared quickly after.
Every one of Han Senâs punches hit Exquisite, though. Every bone in her body broke under the onslaught. Blood gushed out of her mouth uncontrollably.
If she had been fighting someone ordinary, she could have used Godâs Wander to protect her body. Things would have gone much better for her.
But Han Senâs alter ego had already learned Godâs Wander. Each time she disappeared, he just needed to calculate and predict where Exquisite was going to pop back into reality.
Plus, the arena was quite small. There wasnât much room for her to teleport around. Han Sen could easily determine where she was going to show up next. Pang!
Exquisiteâs body hit the dome of the arena again, and the shield flickered and shimmered under the impact. When she landed on the ground in a heap, Exquisite remained where she was and didnât try to get back up again. She looked at Han Sen with astonishment.
She couldnât believe it. Her Very High Eye was active, but she was completely suppressed by another of the same level. Try as she might, she couldnât fight back.
