Chapter 165: Chapter 75: Superspeed Healing, God-given Effect.
In the Luoshui River.
âThis isâŠâ
Upon seeing Shi Xiaoyuanâs transformation, Jiang Ning was momentarily taken aback.
For now, Shi Xiaoyuan had undergone a massive change in size.
He stood over two meters and thirty centimeters tall, becoming a muscular monster whose muscles constantly throbbed.
His arms, now as thick as water buckets.
His skin was a purplish blue, and beneath it, the blue veins spread across his flesh like black tree roots, exuding an eerie sense of oppression.
As if he were some kind of monster, some kind of demon, and not human at all.
On the other side.
Shi Xiaoyuan felt an overwhelming surge of strength coursing through his body, and he thought he had never been in such good form before, filling him with immense confidence.
This transformation made him bare his teeth in a smile.
His ghastly white teeth were strikingly visible in the dim waters of the river.
The White Dragon Fish, witnessing this scene, also revealed a human-like expression, seemingly astonished.
The next moment.
Shi Xiaoyuan suddenly moved, his speed explosively increased compared to before.
It was at least twice as fast.
At this moment, the flowing water seemed to offer him little resistance; instead, it aided his movements.
Caught off guard by the sudden change in speed, the White Dragon Fish was briefly stunned. By the time it regained its senses, Shi Xiaoyuan had closed the distance by nearly a zhang.
Now, there was less than a zhang separating them.
At this distance, even underwater, it was but the work of a moment for Shi Xiaoyuan.
Given his arm span alone was already half a zhang.
The knife in his hand was also longer, thicker, and heavier than ordinary knives.
It was a full four chi and three cun in length.
With such distance closing instantly, the White Dragon Fishâs alarm heightened tremendously.
Its tail flicked, and its form instantly turned into a streak of white, trying to widen the gap between itself and Shi Xiaoyuan.
âToo late!â Shi Xiaoyuan declared.
At that moment, he slashed with his knife, and where the blade passed, the water parted abruptly to the sides.
Creating a vacuum-like space deep in the water.
The strike was as swift as lightning.
The flash of the blade passed.
Clangâ
A sound like metal clashing rang out through the water.
A flicker of sparks briefly illuminated the dark cabin.
At the same time.
Jiang Ning, outside the cabin, also felt the vibrations carried through the waves.
âVery strong!â thought Jiang Ning in awe.
This strike had totally upended his previous assessment of Shi Xiaoyuan.
The noise of Shi Xiaoyuanâs outburst made Jiang Ning think that even he, himself, could hardly do more.
This level of strength was clearly not something one at the ordinary Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm could exhibit.
If Tian Buyi had been able to unleash this kind of strength, he would have been able to defeat him with a single punch.
Itâs impossible that he would have met such a suffocating end.
But clearly, Shi Xiaoyuan was not normal at this moment.
The sudden change in his physique and the strength he was now bursting with were obviously problematic in Jiang Ningâs view.
Taking strength into account, Tian Buyi, previously of the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm, was clearly stronger than Shi Xiaoyuan.
After all, Tian Buyi had earned himself the nickname âMixed River Dragon.â
How could Tian Buyiâs strength be lacking if he could earn such a nickname?
Let alone the fact that Tian Buyi was able to hold out so long under the pursuit of Medicine King Valley.
And among Medicine King Valleyâs pursuers was a figure of elder level.
That elder was a powerful being of the Martial Arts Seventh Grade.
On the other side.
The White Dragon Fish was struck by the blade and sent flying backward.
Blood sprayed from its wound, blending into the water.
âSuch tough scales!â sneered Shi Xiaoyuan.
Meanwhile, his actions didnât slow down.
At this moment, the water in front of him was like solid ground to him.
With a stomp, the water beneath his foot burst apart, and his figure rapidly closed the distance with the White Dragon Fish.
The immense strength from those arms filled it with deep fear.
Once fully caught by that strength, there would be no chance of struggle.
Sssâ
A forceful hiss burst forth from the White Dragon Fishâs mouth.
Immediately after, its slender, elongated body erupted with a burst of powerful force, as it tried to wrest free from Shi Xiaoyuanâs grip.
All at once.
Shi Xiaoyuan, holding the White Dragon Fishâs tail, smashed it into the cabin.
Boomâ
The wooden planks splintered, and the struggling force in Shi Xiaoyuanâs hand weakened slightly.
Then.
He, holding the White Dragon Fish, charged out of the cabin at high speed, swinging the tail in his hand like a giant whip, furiously smashing it all around.
How could the White Dragon Fish hope to outmatch Shi Xiaoyuan in terms of power right now?
Boomâ
Another loud bang.
Shi Xiaoyuan, holding the White Dragon Fish, burst out from the submerged ship.
At this moment, in front of Shi Xiaoyuanâs large frame, the White Dragon Fishâs previously long body seemed not so long after all, resembling merely a thick, white whip.
