"This is impossible," Landers frowned as he spoke.
"What are you afraid of? Your ntor was an ancient powerhouse after all. Since he’s an ancient powerhouse, it’s not certain that I’d be his match," Long Yi patted Landers on the shoulder as he said this. Compared to Landers, Long Yi was indeed much taller, and looking at Long Yi patting his shoulder, Landers simply felt utterly uncomfortable.
"I can’t allow you to disturb my ntor," Landers said.
"Hey hey, you’re really strange, you know? You suddenly show up wanting to kill , and after I defeat you, you go find Soro to kill . After Soro gets squashed by , you then bring Kausen to kill . Now Kausen is also dead, and instead of turning on you, I’m humbly asking for your help, and this is how you treat ?"
Landers looked up at Long Yi, but shouted in his heart: ’You have no sha at all! How am I supposed to know why you’re inexplicably not turning on ? And look at you, are you really being humble towards ? You are clearly intimidating !’
Though thinking this way in his heart, Landers didn’t say anything. At such a ti, he also didn’t know what to say. Challenge Long Yi? After witnessing his younger martial brothers die at Long Yi’s hands at least twice, he no longer had the courage to do so.
Fortunately, Long Yi didn’t continue to dwell on this issue. He let go of Landers, and Little Zi appeared, bringing a new coat. Long Yi casually ripped off the tattered strips of cloth he was wearing and changed into the new clothes.
"I heard that these old things from the ancient powerhouses haven’t shown up in nearly a hundred years. Even if their disciples do appear occasionally, they never use their ntor’s na. What’s the reason for suddenly coming out so high-profile now?" Long Yi asked.
"What else could the reason be, if not for competing for the Giant’s legacy?" Landers replied.
"What? The Giant’s legacy has appeared?" Long Yi’s eyes widened instantly.
"No."
"Hey, you’re toying with ."
"But it’s about to appear."
In fact, this was no secret. As long as Long Yi was willing to inquire a little, he could easily find out.
It turned out that the war between the Giant and Long Yi had spread to every corner of the multi-universe, and the Giant had destroyed many of the Giant’s things. After the Giant left, many things that hadn’t been taken away also disappeared.
However, it was later discovered that those things reappeared every hundred years for a while. If no one took them away, they would disappear again. So, from that day on, a large-scale competition happened every hundred years.
So of the Giant’s legacies possessed imnse power, while others were actually of no use. If one was lucky enough to get a powerful piece of the Giant’s legacy, with its power, that person would quickly beco one of the top powerhouses of the entire plane. These powerhouses, in turn, would use their own powerful strength to fight for even more Giant’s legacies. Over ti, the so-called power of the ancient powerhouses would beco increasingly terrifying.
At this ti, the reason the ancient powerhouses let their students appear first was to find out the locations of the Giant’s legacies. To this day, the locations of so of the Giant’s legacies have basically been grasped, and it is also understood what is inside them and whether they are easy to obtain. What they are more interested in are the newly erged ancient legacies. If so new ancient legacies were discovered, perhaps even more terrifying weapons could be found.
At this point, Landers paused, then continued, "But what these ancient powerhouses want the most is the Cosmic Stone."
"Cosmic Stone shards?" Long Yi asked back.
"They can’t be called shards anymore. In our plane, it is said that there are three large chunks of Cosmic Stone. One of the smaller pieces has already been obtained by an ancient powerhouse, whereas the whereabouts of the other two larger pieces are still unknown."
"How big can they be? This big?" Long Yi gestured with his fist.
"That big." Landers pointed to a collapsed two-story building nearby.
"My God, that’s huge!" Long Yi exclaid in surprise.
"A real piece of the Cosmic Stone is actually even bigger, but after it shattered, no one knows where the pieces have scattered across the universe," Landers sighed.
Long Yi nodded, then suddenly looked at Landers with amusent.
Long Yi’s gaze made Landers’ skin crawl: "What are you laughing at?"
Long Yi adjusted the clothes he had just put on, saying, "I’m laughing because your ntor Adaman must hate you to death."
Landers had to let out another deep sigh, "That’s right. Both of my junior brothers died because of , yet here I am, standing with my enemy, discussing the Giant’s inheritance."
"Wrong," Long Yi said. "Your ntor hates you because you told about this. All the Giant’s legacies and those handso Cosmic Stones are mine now! Hahaha!"
With that, Long Yi put his arm around Landers’ shoulder, and the two of them actually walked away together.
Landers felt an urge to roll his eyes; this Long Yi was too full of himself. You think just because you know about it, you can have it all? That is a pipe dream!
"Also, I’m not your enemy. Your student ca to his death on his own; I didn’t provoke him," Long Yi shrugged innocently.
Landers instinctively wanted to get angry, but he felt sohow unable to muster the emotion.
Long Yi’s words were indeed true: his own student had run off to the Arena to challenge Long Yi and ended up being killed by him. There was no difference between this and Long Yi killing any other enemy. Having just returned to the Plane and heard about this, he was blinded by rage and wanted to avenge his student. But not only did he fail to succeed, he now found himself in this sorry state.
In the end, Landers could only sigh.
No way around it, who told us we couldn’t beat him!
Recently, in the Imperial City of the Divine Auffa Empire, any place where the Mages Ai Lin and ina were both present was certain to beco deserted. The reason was simply that their conversations were too lethal.
This wasn’t just a figure of speech; their conversations were literally filled with killing power.
After a period of understanding and adaptation, Ai Lin had realized that ina wasn’t good at regular magic. Instead, her magic worked through language. She could choose any sentence she was about to say and cast a spell within it. If the person inford responded to that sentence, the mana would yield different effects depending on how the sentence was received.
But if there was no response, then the magic would automatically take effect.
Of course, ina couldn’t cast spells directly on soone, like saying, "You’re going to die right now." That wouldn’t work; ina’s magic required certain details.
For example, ina said, "A flowerpot will fall on your head and kill you."
If Ai Lin responded, "Indeed."
Then a flowerpot would soon appear out of nowhere and fall.
But if Ai Lin said, "No, it will fall on your head."
Then the flowerpot would fall on ina’s head.
However, ina could also lift the spell to prevent herself from getting her head smashed by the flowerpot.
Of course, this was just an example, and neither of them would resort to such childish disputes to settle the outco, as it was far too unsophisticated.
At the mont, in the marketplace, Ai Lin was taking Ziyue to pick out fruits. As a young colt burgeoning with growth, Ziyue had a huge appetite. Ai Lin was always taking her to find various delicacies. And lately, ina had been following Ai Lin around.
"Ready to settle the score?" ina asked with a smile.
"Aren’t you cold, dressed in so little?" Ai Lin countered.
"I’m not cold."
"How old are you?" Ai Lin asked again.
"Eighteen years old."
"Eighteen?" Ai Lin looked at ina in surprise.
"Yes, eighteen," ina confird.
"Well, you certainly look old enough; I thought you were at least thirty." Ai Lin shook her head, picked up a few fruits and stashed them in her personal space, then handed one to Ziyue. Ziyue used mana to grab the fruit and started munching on it.
"That’s impossible," ina said, not a trace of faltering in her gaze.
"There’s nothing impossible about it. There’s a lot of difference between a true eighteen-year-old and soone masquerading as one. Look at my skin—it’s much nicer than yours, fair and rosy with lots of elasticity, while your skin, despite all kinds of cover-ups, can’t hide its aging," Ai Lin said casually.
"Hehe, you’re quite an interesting kid. Do you intend to shake with this banter?" ina laughed.
"See, an eighteen-year-old would never call soone of the sa age ’kid.’ It seems I’ve underestimated you; you’re definitely over thirty, possibly even forty," Ai Lin stated seriously.
This ti, ina really did show a hint of doubt, because Ai Lin was spot on. ina couldn’t refute the facts, but as long as she stayed quiet, there would be no problem. Ai Lin, pretending not to notice her wavering, continued talking.
"I once t a female Mage nad Jenna. Although she was a Sanctuary Mage, she was almost nonexistent in combat. She spent many years researching Rejuvenation spells and eventually succeeded. With that spell, she earned a lot of money. But later, she died at the hands of Long Yi, and that Rejuvenation spell was deciphered by and successfully improved. Would you like to try it?" Ai Lin asked.
Rejuvenation spells!
Actually, ina’s presence here wasn’t really about confronting Ai Lin; she was coveting Ai Lin’s Rejuvenation spell! Especially when she saw Gridis transform from an old man to a robust young man, her heart was filled with envy. Many things could make a person look beautiful, but only the Rejuvenation spell could make soone look younger! You see, beauty is just superficial, but youth is intrinsic! (To be continued.
