Chapter 3195 – What Kind of Monster is He

“Trying to limit the advantage of my speed by getting a Fortuna Arena that’s ten times smaller, eh?” Light flashed across Tianming’s eyes. He was entirely surrounded by lighting and moved so fast that many cultivators below the Foundation stage could barely see him.

As he sped toward the specter, he charged up the Eightruin Dragonshields near his leg. Lan Huang, having broken through alongside him, was far denser than before. Tianming and Yumo Yuanni were four levels apart, but their cosmoforce levels were actually comparable!

Then the grand lexicon wonder bore down on Yumo Yuanni. Tianming didn’t use his totems or Grand-Orient Sword. Instead, he executed Azure Dragon Descent and shot toward the specter in an instant. The Eightruin Dragonshields exploded right as the kick connected!

Nobody had the time to wonder why Tianming bothered to fight a specter in a direct contest of brute force. The explosion of the shields showed just how powerful Tianming was after his breakthrough. His foot pushed Yumo Yuanni’s arms aside and landed squarely on his head! Yumo Yuanni’s arms were completely destroyed. Before he could react, Tianming’s foot imprinted itself on his face!

“What?!” Yumo Yuanni was completely stupefied. He had just broken through, but Tianming’s kick was still able to send him flying! His eyes and nose completely caved in. When he bit down on his tongue, he spewed astral blood all over.

As everyone watched, Yumo Yuanni slammed into the inner wall of the arena with a painful growl before tumbling around the ground a few more times. His head was punctured with thousands of holes and swollen like never before. Ironically, it made him seem deflated compared to his smug look from moments before.

He hadn’t even had a chance to speak. That kind of injury immediately caused his myriadpath ring to register his defeat. By the time he groaned and stood back up, the Fortuna Arena had opened up. Victory had been decided in a single kick!

Only Tianming could have predicted that result; even Suishen Yao and Suishen Zhao were completely flabbergasted. Apart from Yumo Yuanni, who kept rushing at Tianming and refused to accept reality, everyone else couldn’t process what had happened either. They were all frozen with shock.

“Aaaagh!” As Yumo Yuanni attempted to attack, Tianming put his hand out and fired a Skyscorch Wrathlotus at him. The ability had been greatly strengthened and sent the wounded Yumo Yuanni flying off from the explosions. With the arena open, he flew straight out and collapsed on the ground outside, causing the people around him to scatter.

When they all saw how charred and broken he was, the ice in their throats seemed to melt and they could finally speak.

“This… this!”

“Were we seeing things?”

“How could it be? He got sent flying out of the arena!”

The commotion spread from the people near Yumo Yuanni’s charred, broken body to everyone in the arena, and eventually Myriadpath Valley as a whole!

“In the last battle, Li Tianming defeated him by relying on his speed. But after the minor pathkeeper broke through, Li Tianming crushed him with brute force!”

“He isn’t even a hundred years old!”

“What kind of monster is he?!”

No matter what the specters thought, the humans—namely, beastmasters and totemancers—were rather excited. They accepted the ridiculous outcome and couldn’t hold back their laughter. Thinking back at how smug Yumo Yuanni seemed before Tianming showed up, they found it even more laughable.

“No wonder he was able to clear the imprisoned idol so fast!”

“That brat’s combat capabilities grew again! Don’t tell me he has twelve cosmic charts before reaching a hundred years old. Isn’t the record for the youngest foundationeer in Myriadpath Valley at three hundred and twenty years old? Do you think he can do it at a hundred?” “If he can break that record, can anyone still say he only has limited potential?”

“The Prehistoric Path is a guaranteed way to test one’s talent. The miracles he’s achieved there should be proof enough!”

“House Suishen really hit the jackpot! Even though it doesn’t really matter to the Three Exalted Houses as a whole, they still greatly profited!”

Tianming had proven his raw talent on the Prehistoric Path, but by defeating the minor pathkeeper, he had shown truly actualized potential! Every single battle of his immediately shut up any detractors. Even Gongsun Yan, Lan Yun’s fifth disciple, couldn’t help but withdraw away in fear that Tianming would see him.

The specters of Myriadpath Valley were the most stunned by the scene. They remained silent the whole time, forgetting to breathe. All of them seemed incredibly awkward.

“How could this be….”

“The minor pathkeeper’s losing it!”

They were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to bury themselves in, to say nothing of how Yumo Yuanni was feeling. Losing to Tianming the last time wasn’t the most humiliating thing. This time, however, he had prepared himself and grown stronger, only to be beaten in an even worse fashion! He, a minor pathkeeper of House Yumo, had been made a laughingstock!

The specters could tell that Yumo Yuanni couldn’t accept what had happened. He was still growling and glaring at Tianming. To prevent him from embarrassing himself more, the seniors of House Yumo showed up and expressionlessly held him back.

“I haven’t lost yet! This will only end when one of us dies!” Yumo Yuanni cried in more ways than one. His mental state had been completely shattered.

“Go back and hide in Yumo Cave. Stop embarrassing yourself here. Aren’t you enough of a joke already?” Suishen Yao was all too elated. She ran to the arena and proudly held up Tianming’s arm. “Do you see this? He’s the outer mundi genius that yours truly identified on the Skyward Grandpath! Do you still doubt my wisdom? I should’ve been the administrator for the trial there from the very start!”

She turned her pink eyes to Tianming, still relishing in the glory, and winked. “You did well, you little shit.”
