Chapter 2683 - Leveling Up to Half-Deified (1/2)

“Why even bother? Losing is better than dying!” The fox woman sighed mournfully from the distance as she watched.

The seal was right behind Han Sen. He could teleport away before the punch came down on him, and it seemed like the only viable choice to ensure his own survival. But he didn’t. Instead, he carried on fighting with his now-broken body.

But considering how injured and outmatched he was, it seemed unlikely that any strength he mustered would be enough to withstand a punch delivered by Shale.

“He doesn’t know his place! Kill him!” Liyu Zhen clenched his fists into tight, white-knuckled balls. His eyes were red as he shouted spitefully at the video feed.

Li Xue Cheng was the same. This fight was about to end in exactly the way he had been hoping for all along. They were going to win the bet.

There was no way that Han Sen could avoid the punch that was coming down on him. And there were only two possible results of trying to block that blow: he could either die or be disabled. Whichever actually happened, Han Sen couldn’t reasonably carry on fighting. No one was going to stop Shale from reaching first place in the silkworm bout.

Pang!

Han Sen’s fist struck that scary punch. The armor that protected his fists and his arms exploded, and Han Sen’s entire body flew forward. As he sailed through the air, his Spell armor shattered to pieces like a broken vase.

“Game over.” Open Sky Elder was very sad to see this. He thought he had lost his Open Sky jewelry.

Exquisite and Li Keer’s faces changed. Han Sen’s heart never gave up hope. He kept sending them the message that he could keep on going, no matter the odds, but his self geno armor was broken, and his body was severely injured. Hopefully, he would survive, but he couldn’t keep on fighting.

Now, they could only pray that Han Sen didn’t succumb to the remaining force of the impact. Exquisite was tempted to leap onto the battlefield to save him from doom.

Many of the Very High people who had believed Han Sen was going to win were now all silent. Han Sen had tried his best, but there was too much of a gap between the powers of a King and a deified. Shale was too strong, and so they couldn’t blame Han Sen for losing. However, their hearts bled when they thought about everything they had bet and were going to lose.

Only Li Xue Cheng and Liyu Zhen were excited enough to start jumping around with glee. They almost hugged each other.

After this fight, they’d reap a bounty of rewards. The resources they were about to receive might support them all the way up to the deified butterfly class. And on top of that, they’d also lay claim to priceless treasures of untold might.

Pang!

Han Sen’s body slammed against the seal again. Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng were ready to start clapping, but they suddenly froze in place.

They weren’t the only members of the audience who were staring in shock. Everyone was. After Han Sen’s body hit the seal, he didn’t fall to the ground. He just remained where he was. He was floating.

That broken body of his was releasing a weird shockwave that they could barely detect. Then, his form became shrouded in bright light.

But when they looked closer, they could see that it wasn’t a bright light. It was a cloud of white powder-like dust. And the white powder was gathering around Han Sen’s body.

In the blink of an eye, a white set of armor had wrapped itself around Han Sen’s body. The broken Spell armor was back, and it looked as good as new.

No. It was even more powerful than before it had been damaged. The symbol on the armor was shining brilliantly, releasing a scary presence. The holy light wrapped slowly around Han Sen’s body. He was like some god spirit from a holy mountain.

“He is becoming half-deified!” Exquisite and Li Keer were the first to react to this. They could feel that Han Sen’s power was exploding in the breadth of its magnitude.
