Chapter 661: Evenly Matched

Li Xuan couldn’t see the trajectory of the battle either. All he could do was summon his Life Soul. His body was immediately covered by the carapace, and his eyes had an eye mask similar to that of a certain insect.

With the augmentation of the Life Soul, the battle scene Li Xuan saw slowed down significantly.

“Amazing. One doesn’t need to be afraid of potent strength or ruthless skill, but one needs to be afraid of such a highly-intelligent Companion Beast. For a Companion Beast to have such high intelligence, it’s impossible for a Mythical Companion Beast of the same level to win against them. It’s similar to a bug-like existence in games,” Li Xuan said.

“That’s right. Intelligence is indeed a hidden attribute of a Companion Beast. A Companion Beast with high intelligence is indeed at an advantage in battle.” Zhou Wen nodded in agreement.

He also liked to use highly-intelligent Companion Beasts like Banana Fairy, Demonic Neonate, and Doctor Darkness. Even if Zhou Wen didn’t give them orders, they knew when and what to do.

Sometimes, their decisions exceeded Zhou Wen’s expectations.

As for the brainless representatives, like Tyrant Behemoth, Six-Winged, and Golden Battle God Halberd, they relied on their instincts to fight. Their intelligence was much lower.

It couldn’t be said that this was bad. If one’s strength was strong enough, such combat instinct could push their strength to the limit and erupt with 120% of their combat strength.

However, if one were to encounter an evenly matched opponent, such brainless Companion Beasts would be at a disadvantage.

However, Zhou Wen’s mind wasn’t on these Companion Beasts. He was even more interested in Primordial Sword Immortal’s sword techniques and Count of the Wind’s movement techniques. He was completely immersed in them as he sensed the two completely different approaches.

One was about claiming supremacy, while the other was about being calm and composed. The two were extremes.

And these two extremes were similar to the one Zhou Wen had when he first understood the divine Transcendent Flying Immortal.

Count of the Wind and Primordial Sword Immortal were evenly matched. Neither of them had the upper hand, but up to now, they had yet to use their Wheel of Destiny.

Ordinary citizens were fidgeting in anxiety because they could only see the glow. They couldn’t see the details of the battle. Only a few Epic experts with visual abilities could see the battle clearly.

Thankfully, modern filming equipment was already very advanced. There would be slow-motion replays in the future. Coupled with the commentary, most people would be able to understand it clearly.

Zhou Wen was engrossed in watching when Count of the Wind suddenly retreated from the battle. Without any warning, he admitted defeat and left the battlefield.

“Why did he admit defeat? The victory clearly wasn’t decided yet,” Li Xuan said in a daze.

As Zhou Wen had been taking in their sword techniques and movement techniques, he had a deeper understanding of them than Li Xuan. He shook his head and said, “Count of the Wind and Primordial Sword Immortal are very close in every aspect. If they continue fighting, they can only use their Wheels of Destiny. The Xia family clearly doesn’t want to go all out yet. It’s just a probe, so they have chosen to give up.”

“What a pity. Such a divine-level battle is much more interesting than watching those Strength-type Companion Beasts fight,” Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen also felt that he hadn’t had enough. He got up and said, “Let’s go to the training grounds. I gained some insight from watching their battle. I liked to experiment to see if I’m right or wrong.”

Upon hearing Zhou Wen’s words, Li Xuan agreed immediately. The two of them went to the training grounds and found an independent training room.

“I will try to imitate Primordial Sword Immortal’s sword techniques. Help me check to see if it’s correct.” Zhou Wen picked up a practice sword and recalled Primordial Sword Immortal’s sword intent as he slashed at Li Xuan.

“Interesting, but it’s not domineering enough. You still have some reservations about this strike. You should be more resolute.” Li Xuan didn’t take out his weapon as he used his carapace to block the practice sword.

“Is this enough?” Zhou Wen slashed out again. At the same time, he tried his best to fuse his emotions into the Primordial Sword Immortal’s sword intent realm.

“Not enough… Not enough… It’s still not enough…” Li Xuan constantly fought Zhou Wen. As Zhou Wen’s sword techniques became faster and faster, he no longer had the time to say that it was inadequate. Every time Zhou Wen attacked, Li Xuan would only say no.

Zhou Wen gradually became one with the will, as his intent fused with the sword. The feeling of using the sword grew stronger and stronger. He gradually realized that the dominance of Primordial Sword Immortal wasn’t because his sword techniques were fast and ruthless, but because it attacked the key spots. It prevented the opponent from counterattacking, so there was no need for defense.

Clang!

Zhou Wen’s practice sword slashed at Li Xuan. Although he had only used a practice sword, he had actually left a sword mark on Li Xuan’s carapace because the sword beam was too powerful.

“Interesting. Again.” Li Xuan was very excited.

Zhou Wen was also feeling excited as he brandished his sword without any hesitation to slash at Li Xuan. The more he fought, the more he reveled in the feeling of this sword technique.

Defense? What the hell was that? I’ll slash out with my sword. Those who follow me will live, those who oppose me will die. There was no need for defense. With one sword in hand, I’m the best in the world.

The more Zhou Wen fought, the more arrogant he became. He wasn’t usually an arrogant person, but under the influence of the sword in
