Chapter 2671 - Silkworm Bouts Begin (1/2)

She expected Han Sen to lose at least one of his fights, but if he didn’t participate in the contest at all, the Very High would hate him even more.

The time of rest was over. When the eleven silkworms entered the valley, Exquisite didn’t ask anything of Han Sen. She allowed him to proceed into the basin of combat.

The moment Han Sen set foot in the valley, the entire valley was sealed by a huge barrier. The bai sema would keep the destructive power of the combatants contained within the valley, but it wouldn’t stop teleportation or the bodies of the contestants. If the silkworms teleported outside the seal, they would immediately lose the fight.

When the silkworm fights began, few Very High had come to watch the fights. Only the masters of the twelve silkworms actually showed up in person.

The Very High that practiced the Very High Sense had zero interest in such a contest, and the other members of their society had other means of spectating. There was no need for them to go all the way to the valley.

Only the masters of the silkworms had to watch the fights unfold up-close. They needed that proximity to gain the battle experience and knowledge of those they were watching.

“It finally begins. Now, if the other eleven silkworms meet Han Sen, they will do their best to fight him.” As Li Xue Cheng watched the stream of the fight preparations, he cackled wildly.

“Of course. We made Han Sen, who is only a ninth-tier King, into a powerful contender who is only second to Shale. The half-deified silkworms won’t be happy about this. Even if we were nice people, this still would have put them in a competitive mood, right?” Liyu Zhen squinted his eyes.

“Han Sen might drop out before he even gets to Shale,” Li Xue Cheng agreed and nodded.

After Han Sen entered the valley, he wasn’t in a rush to bump into another silkworm. He flew around a nearby mountain that rolled up and down. The valley was as big as a planet, but for half-deifieds or deifieds, that sort of area wasn’t too big. It wouldn’t be difficult for the silkworms to locate each other.

Suddenly, Han Sen felt an impressive surge of power up ahead. Someone was already fighting.

“This power… Is that Yu Shanxin?” As soon as Han Sen felt that power, he noticed how familiar it felt. And so, he quickly headed toward where that fight was taking place.

The area of combat wasn’t too far away from him, and so Han Sen quickly reached the outskirts of their battlefield. There, he found Yu Shanxin and a half-deified of the Extreme King standing on a mountain. They were watching each other. They were both utterly still. The only movement Han Sen could see came from their powers, which were spilling out and shaking the mountains all around them.

Han Sen recognized Yu Shanxin’s opponent. According to the information he had received, the Extreme King fellow was called Gru. Although he wasn’t of the same bloodline as King Bai, his king body was very strong, certainly no weaker than any of the royal children’s. He had a nine armor talent, and he was a very experienced fighter. He was quite a skilled swordsman, as well.

At the moment, Gru was really quiet. And he was holding a steel greatsword. His body was fizzing with a powerful swordmind, and before his weapon even moved, his swordmind came for Yu Shanxin. It rushed forward so fast that it pushed aside the clouds in its path.

Han Sen frowned. Gru’s swordmind was no weaker than his own. The man had reached deified class with it, for sure. He might have only been half-deified, but his swordmind was remarkably developed. Gru was definitely a very powerful half-deified. It was no wonder the Very High had selected him as a silkworm.

Yu Shanxin’s presence was harder to anticipate. Sometimes it raged like fire, and other times it was soft like water. It made it very difficult for those watching to determine what sort of power he had.

“It is fortunate I’m getting to watch this fight. It means I can observe Yu Shanxin and see what Extreme Evil Path can do.” Han Sen maintained a careful distance from the battlefield so he could observe without getting caught up in the fight.
