Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity-Chapter 636 - 456: You’re Really Strong_1
Chapter 636: Chapter 456: You’re Really Strong_1
Tu Wa Zi kept muttering to himself, seemingly expressing a profound sense of detachment, as if he had seen through the world and all its desires, finding satisfaction in a single scoop from the vast river of life.
He had the desire but not the courage, and he surely couldn’t bear the consequences of betraying. So he might as well put an end to the situation right from the start!
Although it’s normal for a grown man to have multiple wives and concubines, it all depends on whether the first wife agrees, and whether she’s understanding or not. Otherwise, his future life would certainly be filled with endless squabbles and disputes, a life of no peace!
Clearly, the girl who held his heart was not forgiving at all when it came to matters of the heart. If he dared do anything to betray her, he could face dire consequences that he simply couldn’t handle.
Quickly, Tu Wa Zi retracted his thoughts and looked at the pitch-black hard-shelled ant inside the Soul-drawing Lotus. He walked up nonchalantly with a triumphant expression.
“So? How do you feel now? That little fatty is ranked last in our academy. Even the elders say he’s a hopeless case, a blockhead. Beating him is nothing special, even a three-year-old child could do it!”
...
At this moment, Cao Yu Sheng, who was lying on the ground but had already awakened, was just about to thank Tu Wa Zi for avenging him. However, before he could even move, he heard what Tu Wa Zi said, decided to close his eyes again to continue feigning unconsciousness.
Tu Wa Zi, you’re too cruel!
The people in the Academy were fine, they understood each other since they interacted regularly.
Even though he was not the strongest, he certainly wasn’t the weakest, was considered decent in the Academy and the Second Elder regarded him as a promising successor of the Law of Life, holding high expectations of him.
The problem was that, besides the people from the Academy, there were also those from the Immortal Court and the Holy Court, and the latter made up the majority.
Especially the Immortal Court, with many attractive young ladies.
Although he was only interested in that dumb, cute bunny and had no intentions towards other women, he still felt it was better to keep face by feigning unconsciousness in front of such a crowd.

Not to mention that the little bunny was still watching from the side.
If Cao Yu Sheng’s reputation were to be damaged by one incident, as long as he appeared oblivious, who could blame him?
“Tu Wa Zi, even though you helped me this time, I swear I will not let you off. As a punishment, I will absolutely not thank you!”
Cao Yu Sheng grumbled inwardly, feeling his punishment was harsh enough.
“Ha, you didn’t defeat me, what are you so arrogant about?!”
Atop the Soul-drawing Lotus, the Heavenly Horned Ant snorted coldly and glanced at Tu Wa Zi with a proud expression.
However, there was a tinge of disappointment in its eyes, mixed with disbelief.
This was the first time it had been defeated through pure strength by someone else.
And defeated in its own field of specialty!
Although it wasn’t completely overwhelmed, it was still a loss.
For a descendant of such a bloodline, the process was ultimately just a process, only the result mattered.
Like a True Dragon, if it couldn’t be ranked as the best in the world, it wouldn’t be officially recognized as a True Dragon and wouldn’t be able to become a perfect Immortal King.
If it were defeated in other aspects, the Heavenly Horned Ant might not have been so deflated. But strength was embedded in their bloodline, they excelled in it. Even the True Dragon Clan, which was known as the leader of the Ten Evils, couldn’t compete against them in this area and was favored by the heavens!
“Your strength is truly admirable, it’s forced this king to concede. But I am still young and have not grown up. It’s understandable that I’m not your match. Once I’ve grown up, I’ll surely defeat you easily!”
The Heavenly Horned Ant frowned, took a long time to think, and finally spoke. The voice was somewhat immature, like a child’s, but you could vaguely distinguish the gender from the voice.
“So you know you’re not grown up yet!”
Many people sneered inwardly. They didn’t expect this little black ant to be so out of touch, acting so nonchalantly even after being defeated, and still having the courage to speak up. They wondered who gave it that courage.
“Let’s consider this fight a draw. After this King grows up, we’ll have a rematch!” the Heavenly Horned Ant said in a childish voice.
Meanwhile, as its voice trailed off, the little ant trembled, and the next moment, the pitch-black Scale Armor it wore fell off, revealing its true color.
It was resplendent golden, looking as if it were cast from Immortal Gold. It was somewhat dazzling for a moment. Simultaneously, on either side of its head, there were two almost invisible protrusions swaying, looking like two strands of silly hair.
But everyone dared not belittle it.
They knew that these were the celestial horns of the Heavenly Horned Ant, rumoured to be one of the most powerful weapons in the universe, capable of easily breaking open the world, smashing the universe, and possessing unimaginable divine effects.
“So this is the true body of the Heavenly Horned Ant!” someone exclaimed.
Of course, people couldn’t blame themselves for not realizing it.

After all, even though the Heavenly Horned Ants belonged to one species, each of them was different. Even if they hadn’t reached such a level, their descendants couldn’t have been completely identical to their ancestors, there would always be some differences. Moreover, some of their own bloodline traits might undergo mutations, resulting in unimaginable effects.
Take, for example, the Heavenly Horned Ants of the Immortal Ancient Era, they’ll look different from the current ones. Back then, the environment was more conducive to cultivation, and their bodies were much bigger, at least a foot in size when young, with some even reaching the size of ten thousand feet when fully grown. The aura they exuded could shatter the stars in the sky, they were terrifying.
Furthermore, some of them may even evolve into humanoid forms bearing the traits of ants. Those Heavenly Horned Ants were even more terrifying as they bore unimaginable mutations within their bodies which increased their strength significantly. Even in their youthful phase, they could suppress forces and no one dared to oppose them.
Apparently, this Heavenly Horned Ant in front of them also seemed to have undergone some abnormalities.
According to historical records left behind, most of the Heavenly Horned Ants in the Immortal Ancient Era were black. There were hardly any records of the entire body being as golden and bright as this one.
“Oh no, you think this is a game. Even if you lost intentionally, you still hope of making a comeback!” Tu Wa Zi, being the cunning man that he was, naturally refused to agree to the ant’s proposal.
“Then what do you want? This King is the last descendant of the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan. If you dare to dishonor me, you’ll be cursed!”
The little ant seemed to be losing confidence. It had originally planned to intimidate everyone with its strength and enjoy the Soul-drawing Lotus alone, but it was defeated instantly.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of eye-rolls. However, what the Heavenly Horned Ant said wasn’t entirely wrong.
In the Immortal Ancient Era, the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan did owe a great debt to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Their forebears had died in the battlefield for this land.
Both morally and emotionally, they should protect this little ant.
