Free Web NovelChapter 1360: Chapter 511 Fight_3
Thus, following the shift in their mental states at the time, Zhou Tian and the lion began to fight right then and there.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of sounds continuously erupted at that moment. Although the lion had the intention to leave, this didn’t mean that it was incapable of fighting Zhou Tian. Setting other factors aside, at the very least, Zhou Tian had not yet found a method to breach the opponent’s defense. Although the lion had been on the receiving end of a barrage of hits, Zhou Tian’s successive attacks weren’t able to trouble it from beginning to end.
No matter how many times he attacked or how loud the ruckus, as long as Zhou Tian couldn’t truly injure his opponent, then his actions could essentially be deemed meaningless.
Nevertheless, Zhou Tian had chosen to continue his fight with the lion, and now that their battle had resumed, even if Zhou Tian wanted to cease hostilities, it had become an impossibility.
Therefore, given the situation at the time, the struggle between Zhou Tian and the lion would undoubtedly continue persistently, until they could determine a winner. Only after that would that war come to its conclusion.
So, no matter how strong the lion’s defense, or how insignificant Zhou Tian’s attacks seemed as a threat, given his circumstances at the time, Zhou Tian could not possibly consider giving up his assault. Hence, whether or not his attacks were effective, Zhou Tian’s attacks against the lion never ceased.
Fortunately, even though Zhou Tian’s attacks failed to penetrate the lion’s defense, making all of his efforts seem futile, the lion was similarly unable to harm Zhou Tian. Given the circumstances, while the outcome wasn’t what Zhou Tian desired, he at least maintained a stalemate.
Of course, even though they were currently at a standstill, unable to overcome one another, Zhou Tian still had some confidence in his ability to claim victory in this battle.
In comparison to his opponent, Zhou Tian believed he held some advantages at the moment.
While Zhou Tian might have been unable to overcome the lion at the time, the lion was relying solely on its cultivated Metal Rule. Once Zhou Tian managed to breach the rule’s defense, then leveraging the lion’s own strength, killing it wouldn’t be a difficult task at all.
Conversely, Zhou Tian’s ability to protect himself came from the Human Emperor’s immortal body of the Main Plane. As long as the Main Plane persisted, or rather, unless there was an environment that could sever Zhou Tian’s connection to the Main Plane completely, he would be an existence that the lion could not kill.
Thus, at a glance, the fight between Zhou Tian and the lion seemed to be on par, but in reality, the actual situation was not quite so.
True, Zhou Tian was unable to breach the lion’s Metal Defense, but as long as he found a method, a way to unravel the lion’s Metal Rule, he would be able to defeat his current opponent. On the other hand, was the lion capable of defeating Zhou Tian at the time?
Clearly, with the protection of the Main Plane’s rules in this Epoch, while it couldn’t be said that no living being in this world could kill Zhou Tian, at least the lion at hand did not possess such power. As such, as their assault commenced, Zhou Tian didn’t need to worry about the lion being able to do him harm; he only needed to find the right opportunity to unravel the lion’s ability to achieve final victory. In that environment, naturally, no matter from which angle you looked at it, Zhou Tian was more likely to emerge victorious from this fight.
As a result, although Zhou Tian had to engage in strife with the lion on the surface, during their battle, he had already begun to carry out relevant experiments. His sole objective from start to finish was to find a way to unravel the lion’s Metal Rule. freēwebnovel.com
To speak of it, there were indeed numerous methods to break the Metal Rule. Generally, as long as your attack’s strength reached a certain standard, even the strongest Metal Defense could be breached directly. And if there was no corresponding defensive power, the metallic defense, seemingly robust, was actually less practical than other rule-based defenses.
However, it was evident that the lion at hand was no simple creature. Even though it utilized the Metal Rule, the defense it had established remained formidably terrifying. Throughout Zhou Tian’s continuous assaults, he tried numerous tactics, but no matter what kind of offensive he launched upon the lion, it didn’t cause any damage at the time.
It could be said that, based solely on the outcome at that time, Zhou Tian was fundamentally unable to do anything to the lion. Even if they were to continue fighting in such a manner, Zhou Tian’s hope of killing the lion was exceedingly slim.
Thus, despite the restrictions of the Metal Rule, it was apparent that the lion’s knowledge of the Metal Rule was extraordinary. Whether it was due to innate Talent or some serendipitous fortune, the lion’s Metal Defense didn’t possess the typical weaknesses of metallic defenses. Judging by its performance at that moment, the lion’s defense wasn’t something that could simply be broken through with raw violence.
Therefore, since the most straightforward violent approach couldn’t breach its defense, Zhou Tian naturally had to employ some other tactics. (To be continued.
