Mighty Lord

Chapter 1266: Chapter 493 Retreat_2

Zhou Tian could think of it, so how could Pan Shi possibly not, Zhou Tian still couldn’t perform Divine Power Attacks, and with Pan Shi having that kind of foundation, momentarily not understanding the intricacies was merely because he had not thought in that direction. But when he found that his attacks couldn’t do anything to Zhou Tian, and he finally started contemplating the reasons, it became all too easy for him to understand why Zhou Tian kept surviving.

And once he started thinking in that direction, even sussing out the reason, Pan Shi naturally lost the desire to continue his attacks on Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian’s thoughts were unknown to Pan Shi, but Pan Shi still had some self-awareness; if Zhou Tian’s life were protected by the rules of the Main Plane, then he could in no way harm him. Thus, given the situation at the time, even if it appeared that his attacks were effective, Pan Shi would not continue them.

After all, Zhou Tian’s attack power might not be weaker than his, but his strength was definitely not to be underestimated. At the moment, because his attack power was stronger, he could maintain a certain upper hand in combat. But if he didn’t change his approach and kept trying to instant kill Zhou Tian with Divine Power Attacks, it might seem like he could maintain the upper hand, but if his consumption grew too great and Zhou Tian recovered, the battle situation could flip at any moment.

Therefore, even though he could still hold out now, knowing his attacks were not very effective, Pan Shi would have had to have gone mad to continue such attacks.

Consequently, given the circumstances at the time, when he found his attacks posed no threat to Zhou Tian, Pan Shi couldn’t help but take a different action.

Withdrawing, this had become Pan Shi’s only choice at the time.

In fact, once he knew his attacks were no great threat to Zhou Tian, Pan Shi had already appropriately withdrawn.

No matter what, Pan Shi would not allow himself to be put in danger; if he couldn’t defeat Zhou Tian, then so be it! The worst-case scenario was losing this space, and while losing face was a bit embarrassing, it was certainly better than losing his life, and at that time, there was no need to continue the attack.

Thus, when Pan Shi withdrew and retreated, Zhou Tian found the outcome unsurprising. It was only after Pan Shi had retreated several meters that Zhou Tian made his corresponding response.

Without a second thought, the moment Pan Shi stopped attacking and he had recovered, Zhou Tian chose to leave.

Zhou Tian knew that if he didn’t leave at that moment, continuing the struggle could have allowed him to vie for control over the space. With Divine Power Attacks ineffective, Pan Shi would likely give up this space, and with that in mind, Zhou Tian would never have retreated at such a time in the past. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But obviously, such a response would have only occurred in the past; in the current situation, Zhou Tian would in no way have made that kind of response.

It was only because he had developed other thoughts previously that he reacted as he did at the moment.

If he wanted to advance, Zhou Tian naturally had to take possession of the current space. Though taking this space did not signify much, gaining even a small territory counts, and a large territory is composed of many smaller ones. If he could continue annexing them, even the smallest territory could provide sufficient help in the future.

But now, everything was different.

Understanding the great flaws in the Monster Power System, Zhou Tian considered not discarding his current strength as a courtesy to its remaining effectiveness. In such circumstances, hoping that Zhou Tian would continue to fight and strive for advancement like before was already impossible.

Therefore, at that moment, Zhou Tian only thought about how to transform his current power system; as for territorial expansion, he had very little interest at the least for now.

Moreover, while taking Pan Shi’s space would have been satisfying, after losing face once there, Pan Shi would certainly seek vengeance. Regardless of his withdrawal, Pan Shi would still retaliate to some extent, but taking his space would invite a more intense reprisal. Even unafraid of Pan Shi, Zhou Tian knew that such retaliation would inevitably result in losses, and even his cultivation might be affected due to this.

Avoid trouble whenever possible, that was Zhou Tian’s mindset at that time.

After all, for the old power system to grow stronger, cultivation was absolutely necessary. To enhance his strength more quickly, Zhou Tian needed tranquility for cultivation unless it was necessary. Thus, it was better to avoid making enemies if possible, and even if he did, at least not to the extent that he couldn’t free himself. Otherwise, no matter the conditions, in such a situation, anyone would find achieving great success difficult.
