Chapter 1152: Shiet, the secret technique can’t be canceled
In this battle where one’s roar decided the victory, one’s voice was an extremely important weapon.
I really hope that this mode of battle would change to something else, several reporters thought to themselves.
Frankly, they couldn’t stand listening to the two Profound Sages roaring like this; their minds were slowly breaking down.
Perhaps even the heavens couldn’t stand this kind of battle wherein their strength entirely depended on their voices.
Senior Melon Eater, who was roaring loudly, suddenly started coughing.
“Cough, cough, cough... what’s going on?” Senior Melon Eater’s voice echoed.
At the same time, the golden shock wave covering the entire place quickly dissipated—Senior Melon Eater had unexpectedly stopped his attack.
The duel location had already transformed into a giant pit.
At the center of that giant pit were Melon Eater and Winter Melon.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon was not in good shape right now. His ‘Iron Fortress’ was already full of cracks, and looked like it would crumble at any moment.
Meanwhile, Senior Melon Eater was coughing violently—his state appeared to be even worse.
Having already reached such a realm, it was absolutely impossible for him to start coughing just because of ‘roaring too much’. Moreover, even if you were to take one step back and forget that, it was also impossible for someone at Senior Melon Eater’s level to become unable to control their attack just because of coughing.
Is there something wrong with Senior Melon Eater? The reporters’ hearts moved as they looked anxiously towards Profound Sage Melon Eater.
Profound Sage Melon Eater must have definitely been affected by something that caused him to start coughing violently and become unable to control his attacks.
In the middle of the giant dueling pit.
Sage Monarch Melon Eater was still coughing, and looked extremely uncomfortable.
“Senior Melon Eater, are you okay?” Sage Monarch Winter Melon yelled—was it possible that Senior Melon Eater was already wounded, yet still used a secret technique to come over and keep his promise?
Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s heart felt restless.
“I... cough, cough, cough, strange... cough, cough, I’m fine, but...” Halfway through his words, Sage Monarch Melon Eater suddenly tilted his head and assumed a strange pose.
Then, he slowly fell backwards, and as he fell to the ground, he suddenly shouted, “Aaaah~”
It was a familiar male voice that rose and fell in tone, switching between the four Chinese tones.
After the scream, Sage Monarch Melon Eater twitched a bit and ‘died’.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon: “...”
All the reporters: “...”
This scene was familiar.
They remembered that not long ago, when Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had been ‘showing his divinity’, the virtuous empress above his head, who had been filled with dignity a moment ago, suddenly issued the same scream, fell to the ground, and ‘died’.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon and the journalists present immediately figured out what had happened.
Senior Melon Eater had used a ‘secret technique’ to borrow Hu Beidong’s light of virtue to ignore the limitations of space and directly teleport from Mount Hua to temporarily manifest here. However, Sage Monarch Melon Eater ended up not borrowing Hu Beidong’s light of virtue.
So, whose light of virtue did he end up borrowing...?
Everyone had been wondering about this, but the answer finally appeared.
The truth was now clear—Sage Monarch Melon Eater had borrowed Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s light of virtue. The only mystery was why his light of virtue was left at the scene.
Could it have been leftovers from the duel between Profound Sage Tyrannical Song and Sage Monarch Winter Melon?
❄️❄️❄️
When Sage Monarch Melon Eater could no longer keep control of his body and fell to the ground, ‘dying’... inside the Inner World, Song Shuhang and others’ black screen ‘live broadcast’ had resumed.
It was just that the ‘live broadcast’ was no longer in bird’s-eye view, but from the perspective of ‘Sage Monarch Melon Eater’ instead.
At this time, Sage Monarch Melon Eater was seeing things through a small slit that seemed to be from his eyes being slightly open—this allowed him to secretly look at the reactions of everyone present.
Song Shuhang: “...”
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Just as we guessed, Sage Monarch Melon Eater used the light of virtue you left on the scene.”
“I wasn’t doing anything but was unjustly implicated.” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Shi blinked, and said, “Are we looking at the outside from Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s perspective? Does that mean that Sage Monarch Melon Eater is currently lying on the ground? Could he have been beaten down by Sage Monarch Winter Melon?”
Song Shuhang thought of his virtuous lamia’s hobby, and when he saw what appeared to be a ‘peeping’ scene, he immediately guessed the correct answer.
Song Shuhang said, “I’m afraid he wasn’t beaten down, but rather started acting out according to the virtuous lamia’s hobby of lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.”
It was quite amusing seeing the powerful Senior Melon Eater lying down on the ground and pretending to be dead in the middle of the battle.
...Letting others also have a taste of such a kind of embarrassment allowed Song Shuhang to unexpectedly feel better about it.
At the same time, Song Shuhang’s will moved.
The body of the virtuous lamia appeared behind him. Because of the several times when she had been blasted apart today, the virtuous lamia appeared quite small this time—she was only half the size of Song Shuhang.
After she appeared, her eyes fell on Scarlet Heaven Sword, who was beside Song Shuhang.
Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly felt uncomfortable—it was a divine weapon, and not a prop to perform the sword swallowing with, alright? It also had its own dignity.
Song Shuhang loudly asked, “Is Sage Monarch Melon Eater playing dead?”
It was weird to ask one’s own light of virtue questions, but Song Shuhang’s light of virtue was a little different.
The virtuous lamia crooked her head—she seemed to be unable to understand Song Shuhang’s problem. When she crooked her head, her eyes were still staring at Scarlet Heaven Sword.
Song Shuhang sighed.
❄️❄️❄️
At the foot of the spiritual mountain.
After about 10 seconds, Sage Monarch Melon Eater got up from the ground and patted his body, feeling very embarrassed.
What had he done just now?
Why did I suddenly go crazy, start screaming, fall to the ground, and play dead?
I’ve lost my dignity!
“Winter Melon, let’s continue,” Sage Monarch Melon Eater said gravely.
The secret technique was going to reach its time limit soon—he should end the battle with a single move to reestablish some of his dignity.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon worriedly asked, “Senior Melon Eater, are you fine?”
Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “Rest assured, I’m in great shape. I merely lost some control just now. Anyway, the secret technique’s going to reach its time limit soon. Let’s finish this quickly.”
Since his senior said so, Winter Melon could only nod in agreement.
Taking the opportunity, Sage Monarch Winter Melon had recondensed and restored his ‘Iron Fortress’.
Sage Monarch Melon Eater waved his hand, and put away his horsetail whisk and dagger.
Now that he’d decided to ‘end the duel with a single move’, he had to at least show some of his true skills.
“Omnipresent and awe-inspiring dignity that is said to protect the universe...” Sage Monarch Melon Eater said gently as his Sage Seal loomed around his body. The light of virtue grew brighter and more dazzling, making it impossible to see Sage Monarch Melon Eater.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon wore a serious face. He knew that Senior Melon Eater’s next move would end the duel. This move was also the final test of his path of defense.
Come, Senior! Let me prove the limits of my path of defense to you.
The spirits of the reporters were raised—the battle was finally no longer in the attack-power-entirely-depending-on-the-roaring mode. The reporters could also see that the next move was going to be the end of the duel.
I am afraid that the next strike from Senior Melon Eater will be no weaker than Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s ❮Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique❯ from before... Could it possibly be even stronger? everyone on the scene thought.
Even Song Shuhang and the others inside the Inner World thought so.
Sage Monarch Melon Eater calmly said, “Virtuous—Giant Sun!”
His voice, which was transmitted through the ‘Sage Seal’, shook everyone’s hearts.
In the next moment, the light of virtue on his body turned into an actual Giant Sun, very dazzling to the eye.
That Giant Sun swelled and rolled towards Sage Monarch Winter Melon.
With just a single touch, Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s strongest defense, the Iron Fortress, already began to quickly shrink... and some of it was even melting.
It’s finally over! The eyes of all the reporters were bright.
Melong Eater was indeed worthy of being an old and experienced Profound Sage. This move was extremely powerful, and it wasn’t any weaker than Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s ❮Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique❯—it even felt slightly stronger.
Just in this fashion, Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s ‘Iron Fortress’ melted away.
The rolling sun rays approached Sage Monarch Winter Melon before stopping an inch away from him.
“I lost.” Sage Monarch Winter Melon closed his eyes as even he had no way of directly looking at Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s ‘Giant Sun’ form.
“You’ve already done a good job. Your Iron Fortress could last for about three breaths under my ‘Virtuous Giant Sun’, it’s much stronger than I expected.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s voice sounded out.
In the next moment, that Giant Sun began to shrink, and the light of virtue that filled the sky had returned.
Sage Monarch Melon Eater continued, “It’s just that your Iron Fortress still has a lot to improve on. While the time limit of the secret technique has still not been reached, I’ll transmit some things to you.”
What Melon Eater wanted to transmit was the shortcomings of Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s ‘Iron Fortress’. As these could be considered to be Winter Melon’s weak points, it naturally couldn’t be heard by outsiders.
Therefore, he used a secret sound transmission technique to tell Sage Monarch Winter Melon of his shortcomings.
After a long while.
Sage Monarch Winter Melon thanked Senior Melon Eater with a bow. “Senior, thank you for your guidance.”
“There’s no need for such politeness between the two of us.” Profound Sage Melon Eater nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, his dignity had recovered quite a bit.
The image and style of an otherworldly expert had returned.
Profound Sage Melon Eater gently said, “Your path of defense is very good, keep going. I hope I can see you becoming a Tribulation Transcender one day, and perhaps even... someone who can make his ‘path’ perfect.”
After Winter Melon’s potential was affirmed by his senior, his eyes exuded even greater confidence.
In tonight’s appointed duel, what he needed the most... was this affirmation from Senior Melon Eater.
With this sentence from Senior Melon Eater, he was even more confident that he could go further on the path of defense.
“Then, we shall meet again in the future.” Profound Sage Melon Eater made a hand seal, and prepared to cancel the secret technique.
Profound Sage Melon Eater said, “Let’s go!”
After that, a few seconds passed.
Profound Sage Melon Eater still maintained the same posture of activating a hand seal.
A distant reporter loudly asked, “Has Senior Melon Eater left?”
“But his virtuous body is still there?” another reporter wondered aloud.
Winter Melon curiously asked, “Senior Melon Eater?”
At this time, Profound Sage Melon Eater made another hand seal, and solemnly said, “Let’s go!”
Several seconds flew by once again.
Yet, Profound Sage Melon Eater had yet to disappear.
Shiet, the secret technique can’t be canceled.
Melon Eater’s heart became restless.
