It was such a pity that such a powerhouse had fallen here.
Especially when his identity was too extraordinary.
He was the ruler of a country, and the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the God system, a slight movement would affect the whole country. If he died, the consequences would be too severe.
“An important person shouldn’t take such risks!” Cai Yong almost wanted to beat his chest and stomp his feet as he howled in pain.
“It’s a pity that a Human race powerhouse fell just like that. However, would such a powerhouse really die so easily?” Qi Jiguang looked at the stone statue in front of him with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
He didn’t believe that such a powerhouse would die so easily. It was a little too simple.
“Hmph, he actually died so easily?” the Snake Empress looked at the stone statue in front of her, and the strange light in her eyes disappeared. In its place was an indescribable complex expression.
She couldn’t deny that she admired this man’s courage and responsibility.
It was just that he had clearly underestimated her, so he paid the price with his life.
“It’s the little thief who wanted to die. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!” the Snake Empress coldly spat out, abandoning the trace of pity and reluctance in her heart.
Thump!
Just as the Snake Empress was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a clear thumping sound. This sound seemed to be the sound of a beating heart. Only a strong heart could bring about such a powerful driving force.
“Hmm?”
The Snake Empress instantly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Her eyes fell directly on the stone sculpture that Li Xiang had transformed into.
The powerful heartbeat was coming from the stone statue.
“He actually didn’t die?!”
An extremely powerful vitality was emitted from the thumping. His heart was beating. Clearly, he had not fallen. He was still alive and not dead.
“His heart is still beating. Country Lord Li is still alive!” Lin Ruhai shouted with joy.
“Quick, take Country Lord Li’s body back,” Qi Jiguang quickly said.
His body was still petrified. If the Snake Empress were to attack again, it would definitely not be difficult to shatter the stone statue. Once his body was shattered, even if he didn’t die, he would die without an intact corpse.
Thump! Thump! ...
However, before the students of the academy could react, they immediately heard the sound of his heart beating faster and louder. At the same time, rays of divine light began to appear on his body.
They saw that the power of petrification around him was being obliterated bit by bit by the countless divine lights.
In his internal organs, meridians, bones, eyebrows, and so on, divine light flickered and flowed, spreading throughout his body.
The petrified parts that covered his body were dissipating at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
“Star talent! Were these his talents? No wonder he’s called the Lord of Dawn!”
“No, one, two, three... Oh my goodness, he actually has more than a dozen talents, he’s simply a monster. I don’t have any talent at all, it’s infuriating to compare!”
“It can even disperse the power of petrification! Amazing. The Origin Energy contained in these talents must be very powerful. Freak, he’s really a freak! Is this the difference between mortals and monsters?”
In the academy, countless students witnessed this scene, and all of them revealed shocked expressions.
It could even be said that this was a complete shock. The impact on them was too great. How long had it been since the descent of the infinite worlds? To think that there would be someone who had already awakened so many innate talents! This was simply not giving anyone a way out!
In just a few breaths’ time, the petrification on Li Xiang’s body completely disappeared, and his entire body returned to normal from the petrified state. Li Xiang’s face didn’t show any signs of abnormality, and he looked very calm and natural.
“Medusa’s Eyes of Petrification are indeed overpowering. It’s an extremely powerful eye technique talent. Wherever her gaze landed, everyone would be petrified. Within the power of petrification, there was a unique power of will that made it even more difficult for people to break it and disperse it. If you want to dispel it, you must collide with your remaining power of will. If you don’t destroy this power of will, it will be difficult to dispel the power of the Eyes of Medusa no matter how powerful you are,” Li Xiang said confidently.
The Eyes of Medusa was indeed quite domineering, and it was even more terrifying than ordinary petrification. Not only did it contain the Power of Law, but it also contained will. If he wanted to erase the petrification, a pair of Medusa’s eyes would appear in his mind and destroy everything. If he couldn’t defeat the Eyes of Medusa, everything would be in vain.
If it wasn’t for the fact that his sea of consciousness had been opened and that he had the Starlight Shrine to back him up so that his mental power was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to crack it.
This was an extremely heaven-defying eye technique. It could grow with the user and unleash an extremely powerful force.
“Consider yourself lucky!”
When the Snake Empress saw that Li Xiang had actually come back to life, she didn’t know what to feel.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and said, “That was considered the second move. You can use the third move now. After three moves, we’ll be even. We won’t owe each other anything.”
When the Snake Empress heard this, she turned around and left without any hesitation, disappearing into the fog.
“What do you mean by this? Are you not going to continue?” Li Xiang frowned and asked.
“I’ll save the third move for now. When I think of it and am interested, I’ll let you experience it. It’s a little too simple to call it even with me so easily. Do you really think I’ll do as you wish? You’re just average looking, but sure dream well!” the Snake Empress’s cold words reverberated in the air.
The surrounding snake people also slowly retreated, gradually hiding in the fog and disappearing.
“You’re saving the third move?”
Li Xiang was a little dumbfounded, and his heart was a mess.
“What does this woman mean?”
“Are you not going to give me the chance to settle the score?”
Li Xiang’s thoughts turned slightly, and he had already guessed the Snake Empress’s plan. She didn’t intend to let it go easily. The karma between them could not be easily cut off. If he wanted to cut it off, she had to be willing to do so.
Obviously, the Snake Empress did not intend to end things so easily.
This scene left the other students in the academy dumbfounded.
What was going on? Why did it feel a little different from the previous tension?
She had surrounded the academy with such a huge commotion and forced Li Xiang out just to fight with him. Then, she made two moves and proceeded to turn around and leave.
Why did it give people the feeling that they were rivals that secretly liked each other and were flirting?!
Almost everyone could feel a flock of crows flying above their heads. Even Cai Yong was speechless.
It seemed like she was fooling around a bit too much, making people unable to react in time!
However, the foreign races had indeed retreated, and the crisis of the academy had been resolved.
“Alright, everyone, go back and study hard. Only by becoming stronger can we survive in this chaotic world and inherit the will of our ancestors,” Cai Yong opened his mouth and concluded this matter, causing the environment that was about to be filled with discussions to suddenly become silent.
After that, the students bowed to Cai Yong and left in groups of three to five.
