Divine King of Honour

Chapter 253: Xu Nian in White (Fourth Update)

Sky-reaching Tower’s first floor.

Xu Nian was now looking at the three-star Battle General Level bear-shaped Demon Beast standing opposite him with a light smile.

The first challenge of the Sky-reaching Tower was to kill a Divine Beast Bloodline Demon Beast that was two levels higher in Cultivation than oneself.

This test might be difficult for others, but for someone like Xu Nian, who took on challenges above his level as if they were a daily routine, it was no challenge at all.

"Human, was it you who awakened me from my slumber? I am so hungry, you’ll make a good meal to satisfy my hunger," the Demon Beast uttered a proud laugh, its eyes naked with desire as drool nearly dripped to the ground.

"Eat me? You seem hardly up to the task," Xu Nian said with a cold, mocking sneer.

"Arrogant human, how dare you insult me, the king? I am the Earth Demon Tyrant Bear King, descendant of the Divine Beast Split Earth Tyrant Bear. Do you believe I can tear you apart?" the giant bear roared furiously.

"Clamor, I don’t have time to waste with you," Xu Nian huffed coldly.

Instantly, he used the Illusion Fascinate Trace technique and appeared right in front of the giant bear.

The bear was startled; it had not expected this human to be so fast and hurriedly swung its massive paws toward Xu Nian.

A trace of disdain flashed across Xu Nian’s eyes.

Executing the Dragon King Fist, Earth Shattering.

A terrifying illusion of a giant dragon appeared behind him.

Then, Xu Nian threw a punch, striking the giant bear squarely in the chest.

"No..." the bear issued a roar of disbelief.

But before its cry had faded,

"Boom!" a loud sound echoed.

Its body exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh.

With one punch, he had slain a three-star Battle General Level Divine Beast Bloodline Demon Beast.

Had someone seen this, they would have been astounded without a doubt.

At this moment, the level of Body Cultivation Xu Nian revealed was that of a One-star Body General Level expert.

During the three days he had secluded himself, Xu Nian had focused entirely on Body Cultivation.

Sure enough, as expected, he had broken through to the Battle General realm in Body Cultivation.

Having slain the giant bear, Xu Nian walked directly toward the second floor of the Sky-reaching Tower.

Currently, outside the Sky-reaching Tower, quite a crowd had gathered.

Xu Nian, looking at the figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the tower, also revealed an expression of astonishment.

At this moment, in the center of the tower, there sat a youth.

This youth, both in appearance and temperament, was exactly like Xu Nian.

The only difference was that, while Xu Nian wore a black academy robe, this youth wore a white one.

"You’ve finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," said the youth in the white academy robe with a smile that carried a chill.

"Who are you?" Xu Nian asked, perplexed.

"I am you, and you are me. Who do you say I am?" the white-robed Xu Nian replied with a cold laugh.

Xu Nian was taken aback, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Are you my shadow?" he realized something and spoke out.

"True to my original nature, quite clever indeed. Yes, I am your shadow. Under normal circumstances, I would never have appeared, but with the aid of this Great Formation, I can manifest my true self. Moreover, if I defeat you, I can take your place and become the real Xu Nian," said the white-robed Xu Nian with an excited expression.

After hearing this, Xu Nian finally understood what was happening.

In other words, this white-robed Xu Nian was his shadow, possessing everything he had.

And to get past this challenge, he must defeat his own shadow.

If he were defeated by his shadow, then he would be consumed by it as well.

"What a wondrous formation, no wonder many are stuck on the second level. It’s easy to defeat an enemy, but very difficult to defeat oneself," Xu Nian commended inwardly.

"You have the leisure to study the formation when you should be more concerned about whether you can survive," the white-robed Xu Nian sneered, then his figure turned into a residual image and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Xu Nian.

"Uh? Illusion Fascinate Trace? You can even use Combat Skills?" Xu Nian was startled and hastily prepared to defend.

"Hmph, what I know isn’t just Combat Skills. Die, Collapse Thunder!" the white-robed Xu Nian bellowed, hurling a punch straight at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian’s eyes instantly focused, and he quickly mobilized his Gang Qi to use the Collapse Thunder Fist Technique.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, releasing a thunderous roar of terror.

Both Xu Nian and the white-robed Xu Nian were knocked back dozens of steps before they managed to stabilize their forms.

Their clash was evenly matched.

"To think you’ve even mastered comprehension to the same degree," Xu Nian muttered to himself, his expression becoming solemn once again.
