Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Overwhelmingly Powerful Strength
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
Shi Dong was clearly interested, and after all, as a ntor, it was his duty to assist his students.
“It’s like this…”
Fang Zheng pondered while carefully organizing his words.
“In another world, I unintentionally obtained a certain ability, but I found this ability sowhat difficult to control… I don’t know why…”
“Oh?”
Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Shi Dong showed clear interest. He looked around and then walked with Fang Zheng behind a large boulder.
“A new power?”
“Yes.”
“…You are really lucky, kid.”
Amazed by Fang Zheng’s response, Shi Dong clicked his tongue in wonder. Then, he squinted his eyes and took a careful look at Fang Zheng.
“Hmm… but if you ask , aside from being quite sturdy, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about you… I don’t feel anything strange either… Let’s do this, display that ability for to see.”
“Okay.”
Fang Zheng nodded and looked towards Shi Dong. In fact, he indeed needed soone to help him resolve his confusion. The Ti Ability was undoubtedly a very powerful force, sothing Fang Zheng had already experienced. However, what baffled Fang Zheng was that sotis it seed extrely fragile. For instance, when facing the Bald Mage, although Fina ntioned that the opponent was a Three-Star Mage, similar in strength to Fang Zheng’s usual encounters, Fang Zheng still couldn’t accept that his ability to manipulate ti could be so easily shattered by a Bald Mage.
He must figure out what the situation with the Ti Ability was in this world, but naturally, Fang Zheng couldn’t just tell anyone about it, and Shi Dong was clearly the best choice.
Moreover, Fang Zheng also wanted to test if this ability was effective against the Grand Knight rank.
Thinking this, Fang Zheng concentrated and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, staring at Shi Dong in front of him.
The next mont, the power of ti unfolded instantly.
However, to Fang Zheng’s surprise, just as his power enveloped Shi Dong, Fang Zheng felt as though he was a bird suddenly caught in a berserk tornado. His whole body shook violently, and soon, he rapidly lost control of the Ti Ability. Ti, which had originally stopped around them, once again began to flow, and the backlash returned along the sa path into Fang Zheng’s body, making him feel as if his internal organs were struck by an invisible heavy punch!
“Pu!!”
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Fang Zheng’s mouth. He covered his mouth, feeling a burning pain all over his body—now Fang Zheng finally understood what a Martial Hero novel described about Inner Strength backlash.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury…”
Fang Zheng resignedly wiped his mouth, then cast a healing spell on himself. He had not expected it to turn out like this; his ability not only failed to have an impact, but collapsed the mont it was deployed?
“So, ntor, do you have any idea?”
“Hmm…”
To Fang Zheng’s surprise, this ti Shi Dong did not imdiately respond. He frowned, gazed at Fang Zheng thoughtfully for quite a while, and then finally spoke.
“…I really don’t know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky… Ah, of course, if you ask , I would definitely say your luck is good.”
“…ntor?”
This ti, Shi Dong did not say much else but waved his hand and sat down on a nearby large boulder. He then gestured for Fang Zheng to sit down.
“You should know, on this continent, aside from those Transcendent creatures, the most formidable are the Legendary Powerhouses. So, how powerful do you think a Legendary Powerhouse should be?”
“This…”
Hearing Shi Dong’s question, Fang Zheng was startled, then shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
“It’s quite simple.”
Having said this, Shi Dong smiled and then pointed at himself.
“If there were a Legendary Powerhouse here, then a hundred of plus a hundred Marts would still be no match for him.”
“You can’t be serious…”
Upon hearing Shi Dong’s response, Fang Zheng was instantly dumbfounded. Although he understood that a Legendary Powerhouse must be much more powerful than a Grandmaster, Shi Dong’s statent seed exaggerated—could a hundred of him plus a hundred Marts really not stand a chance? That number should be enough to exhaust the opponent to death.
“Hehe.”
Perhaps seeing Fang Zheng’s expression, Shi Dong chuckled.
“Once you witness it with your own eyes, you’ll understand what I an. In fact, at the level of Legendary and Transcendent, numbers have beco completely aningless to them. Not to ntion a hundred of , even a thousand of —in front of a Legendary Powerhouse, we could only line up to be slaughtered. Do you know why?”
Fang Zheng shook his head; his knowledge mainly ca from Williams’s mories, and he knew nothing about how formidable a Legendary Powerhouse could be. Williams was only a Lower Rank Cultist, who could hardly ever et a Grandmaster like Shi Dong, let alone a Legendary Powerhouse.
“It’s quite simple.”
While speaking, Shi Dong reached out his hand as if grasping the sky and clenched his fist tightly.
“Because any Legendary Powerhouse possesses the power of a Domain. Within their Domain, they are like Generals, Kings, wielding the authority over life and death. Unless you also possess this kind of power, you simply cannot withstand their presence. Even I would be the sa; if I were to fight a Legendary Powerhouse who masters the Domain of Wind, I would be utterly defeated.”
Having said this, Shi Dong turned his head and smiled at Fang Zheng.
“Do you understand now?”
“… so what you an is…”
Fang Zheng was no fool, and he naturally understood that Shi Dong was not just telling him a story.
“The power I possess is the power of a Domain?”
“More or less.”
Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Shi Dong nodded.
“I was once fortunate to et a Legendary Powerhouse and received his guidance. At that ti, I personally experienced the power of the Domain of Legends. And just a mont ago, I felt the sa sensation. But…”
At this point, Shi Dong looked at Fang Zheng with a half-smile.
“… compared to that Master, you are much weaker.”
Damn it!!
Hearing Shi Dong’s answer, Fang Zheng helplessly rolled his eyes.
By now, he had finally understood Shi Dong’s aning. Thinking about it carefully, his own power was indeed sowhat similar to the Domain of Legends Shi Dong ntioned. Previously, when facing beings weaker than himself, Fang Zheng had effortlessly harvested them in an instant. He wouldn’t care if there were even a hundred more such weaklings.
This completely matched what Shi Dong had described.
However… the disparity between their power ranks was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
And Fang Zheng also understood the reason Shi Dong said he was both lucky and unlucky. Saying he was lucky was because he had the power of a Domain, which only Legendary Powerhouses could control and utilize. Saying he was unlucky was because… the reason the Domain of Legends was a capability only Legendary Powerhouses possessed was exactly because only they could master it!
It truly hits ho!
If his Ti Ability were likened to a huge and sharp sword, then Fang Zheng was just a child. Perhaps he could swing the sword a few tis ordinarily and pose a little, but once he faced an adult, no matter how sharp or gigantic the sword in his hand was, due to his own lack of strength, Fang Zheng would ultimately be defeated.
And the only way to fix this flaw was… to beco as powerful as his opponent!
But before that… his power would probably only be useful for bullying the weak.
Realizing this, Fang Zheng was thoroughly speechless.
This is truly a trap!
