Divine King of Honour-Chapter 411: True Speed

On a square in the Divine River Palace.

Xu Nian and an elder stood facing each other.

The floor beneath their feet was paved with incredibly hard Black Scorching Stone.

Normally, even the attacks of a Saint could hardly shatter this floor.

Aside from the two of them, naturally, there was also the Bull Demon King and Xia Bingling who had come to watch the battle.

"Buzz!"

A strange rune surged up in the elder's palm, and he fiercely slapped it onto his abdomen.

Following that, the aura of the elder lowered significantly, barely distinguishable from that of a One-star Saint.

Clearly, this was the elder suppressing his cultivation to be on par with Xu Nian's realm.

"Senior, I think you should suppress your cultivation to a three-star," Xu Nian said with a smile. "My combat technique is somewhat special. Although it is that of a One-star Saint, the quality and reserve of my Spiritual Energy are nearly comparable to those of a Three-star Saint. You might be at a bit of a disadvantage like this."

Currently, any One-star Saint was merely asking to be utterly defeated in his presence.

"Ha ha, boy, are you looking down on me? Don't forget, although I've suppressed my cultivation to the realm of a One-star Saint, my combat experience and my realm of understanding remain entirely unsuppressed. Once we really start fighting, I fear you won't withstand more than three moves under my hand. I was actually considering suppressing my cultivation to the Battle King Realm," the elder said with a hearty laugh.

Yet in his eyes, there was a mix of defiance and pride.

Xu Nian felt a bit helpless.

It seemed that this elder seriously overestimated his own strength.

Yet that was fine; it would make the fight somewhat easier.

"Xu Nian, be careful. My Master's realm of understanding is very high. You must be very cautious," Xia Bingling shouted from the side.

"A grown lady who doesn't even care about her own Master," the elder huffed, pretending to be angry.

Xia Bingling stuck her tongue out at him.

The elder, infuriated, his beard askew, glared fiercely at Xu Nian.

Clearly, he was directing his annoyance at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was speechless, thinking that the elder really had the mentality of an old rascal.

"Boy, you'd better be ready; I'm about to start," the elder said.

"Senior, please feel free to make your move," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Whoosh!"

Yet as soon as Xu Nian's words fell,

a figure arrived in an instant,

slapping a palm towards his chest.

"So fast!"

Xu Nian's smile instantly froze, and without the slightest hesitation, he, too, struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

The power in their palms exploded.

Both Xu Nian and the elder were sent reeling back.

Using the rebounding force, Xu Nian widened the distance between himself and the elder.

"Interesting, you can keep up with my speed. Not bad, kid, but this is just the beginning," the elder chuckled lightly.

With a tap of his toe on the ground,

a booming sound erupted.

His figure vanished once again.

Xu Nian, not daring to be negligent, instantly activated the Gray Dragon Eye.

This elder, truly a master of Saint Peak Level, his Spiritual Sense couldn't keep up with his speed.

And this was him with his cultivation suppressed.

If he displayed his Body Skill at Saint Peak Realm, who knew to what terrifying extent it would reach.

"Behind!"

Suddenly, Xu Nian's gaze sharpened, and he threw a punch directly behind him.

"Too slow!"

However, before his fist could hit the elder,

the elder's palm had already fiercely struck his chest.

Following that, Xu Nian felt a terrifying mighty force coming from his chest.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian's figure was directly blown flying nearly a hundred meters before he barely managed to stop.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at the elder in front of him.

This elder's speed was indeed fast.

Moving like the wind, it was clear he had achieved a very high mastery of the Wind Attribute.

"Seems I overestimated your strength. Let's end the fight here. At this level, you can't even handle one move, let alone three. I was already holding back just now," the elder said, disappointedly shaking his head.

After finishing, he flicked his sleeves, prepared to walk away with his hands behind his back.

Xia Bingling and Bull Demon King both frowned.

Why had Xu Nian become so weak?

That shouldn't be the case!

Could it really be that the elder was too strong?

"Wait a moment, elder."

However, just then, Xu Nian suddenly spoke up.

"Are you still thinking of fighting? Boy, I must remind you that it's not a good mentality to bite off more than you can chew without sufficient strength," the elder said with even greater disappointment in his eyes.

It seemed the rumors were indeed exaggerated.

An eighteen-year-old youth reaching the Saint Realm was already commendable; how could he possess any extraordinary capabilities beyond that?

"I was disrespectful just now, underestimated you, elder, and did not display my true strength. If you would not mind, please try again," Xu Nian said with a smile.

He had indeed been overly confident earlier, not having lifted the hundredfold gravity enhancement on his body during the fight.

That's why he had lost out in terms of speed.

Now that the gravity was lifted.

He was completely different.

"Oh? You still had strength hidden?" Surprise finally showed on the elder's face.

"You'll know if you try, elder," Xu Nian said with a confident smile on his face.

The elder watched Xu Nian for three seconds before he finally spoke, "Very well, then I shall try again!"

As he finished speaking, the elder's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a gust of wind.

"Whoosh!"

The elder's figure appeared out of nowhere, directly in front of Xu Nian.

"Boy, your reaction speed hasn't changed at all!"

The elder's voice sounded as his palm struck towards Xu Nian's chest.

Disappointment filled his eyes.

From his perspective, the moment he closed in,

Xu Nian did not react at all, making it unnecessary to continue the fight.

Xu Nian was simply not his match.

"Is that so?"

However, at that moment, a cold smile curled at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth.

Then, to the elder's surprise, he found his palm had struck only an afterimage.

"What?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

The elder was instantly shocked, unable to believe that Xu Nian had dodged his attack in that instant, leaving behind an afterimage.

"My apologies, elder!"

Simultaneously, a voice came from behind the elder.

The elder was taken aback and turned around in a hurry to defend.

But just as he turned,

A palm harshly struck his chest.

Subsequently, the elder's entire body flew backward rapidly.

When he landed, his rear slid nearly a hundred paces on the ground.

When he got up from the ground, there were two large holes in his buttocks.

"Ha ha!"

Xia Bingling and Bull Demon King couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xu Nian also smiled silently.

He was constantly under the influence of gravity enhancement during his training.

So when he hadn't lifted the gravity earlier, his speed naturally couldn't match the elder's.

But after releasing the gravity enhancement, Xu Nian was entirely different, definitely transformed.

Although the elder was fast, he was still somewhat slower compared to Xu Nian.

Anger appeared on the elder's face.

He hurried to a nearby hall to change his clothes.

However, after coming out, his gaze towards Xu Nian started showing admiration.

"Young man, that Bull was right; you really do like to hide your capabilities. It seems that without putting some pressure on you, you won't reveal your true strength. Today, I really want to see just how much you can surprise me."

The elder chuckled, his aura suddenly becoming incredibly formidable.

An odd fluctuation emanated from the elder.

As this fluctuation spread, the elder's body also became incredibly agile.

"Could this be Profound Argumentation?" Xu Nian sensed the fluctuation from the elder and his face also showed surprise.
