1526 Bryan Castle (1/2)

”Motherf*cker! You little piece of shit! Still putting on an act in the face of death huh! You want to take me down in three seconds?! That's a f*cking daydream you prick!”

Obviously, Teddy did not for the slightest bit believe Chen Xiaobei's ability to kill.

As far as he was concerned, Chen Xiaobei was at the peak of Celestial Cultivation like him, though after his own transfiguration which greatly empowered him, he could definitely finish Chen Xiaobei off.

In fact, his judgement was not wrong at all. If the result was based solely on strength alone, Chen Xiaobei was definitely the weaker one. Surely, all these were only on the surface.

However, Chen Xiaobei's actual strength was not a mere 130,000!

Smack!

Chen Xiaobei slapped Teddy hard on the face. He was so fast that Teddy did not even see him coming.

”Oww!” Teddy cried out. His entire body swiftly spun round and round like a spinning top, and was rapidly sent flying to a giant rock about 10 meters away. The rock crumbled upon impact.

”Argh… Hack… Hack…” Teddy laid in the rubble, where blood and broken teeth came spilling from his open mouth. His pale, scraggy face swelled like a balloon that was about to explode.

”H… How is this possible? How could you suddenly breakthrough the peak of Celestial Cultivation but still remain below the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation? It doesn't make sense at all.”

Teddy cradled his face with his palms, watching Chen Xiaobei through it's cracks with bewilderment.

130,000 combat power meant being at the peak of Celestial Cultivation. It was only when a person broke through to Ethereal Cultivation, would his or her combat power exceed the 130,000 point limit.

Chen Xiaobei's slap however, was in-between those two values, one that was very strange and unorthodox.

There had never been anything like that in recorded history.

Chen Xiaobei was able to do it because he had the one and only Primordial Witch King's Combat Enhancement Training Manual that the Prime of Tongtian gifted him!

Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaobei's cultivation was only 130,000 but with the Primordial Witch King's Combat Enhancement Training Manual, he was able to boost himself to 169,000 combat power. Stopped only by the limits of his health, actual combat power hovered around 165,800.

Of course, even with the limit in place, it was still sufficient to crush Teddy.

”Sure... my strength doesn't make sense but you don't need to know about that don't you? All you need to do is to just answer me: are you going to give Gordon back to me?!” Chen Xiaobei walked over to him with brazen strides.

Teddy drew in a breath of cold air. Three seconds ago, he thought that he was going to win this fight for sure, but that slap alone had taken out most of his front teeth.

While a Blood Descendant would win a fight against a similarly ranked human, the energy that Chen Xiaobei exerted was clearly of a rank higher than Teddy's.

Teddy did not have a chance to fight back, much less defeat Chen Xiaobei. He did not even have the courage to stand up and fight again.

Teddy was subdued!

”I will! I will…” Teddy stammered. ”But I didn't bring Gordon here. He's locked up in our family's castle.”

”So, you were just messing with me all along huh?” Chen Xiaobei raised a ready hand.

”Okay! Okay! Have mercy! I will not do it again!” Teddy covered his head defensively while trembling violently, not wanting to be struck by Chen Xiaobei again.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought about losing to Chen Xiaobei. Inititally, as he was very sure that he could beat him, he did not even bother bringing Gordon along.
