Mighty Lord

Chapter 1397: Chapter 524: Each Has Their Wins and Losses

Zhou Tian had been attacking his opponent for a long time, but he couldn’t inflict even the slightest damage, while Pan Shi, with just a simple attack, had forced Zhou Tian to retreat. Although Zhou Tian was not so weak as to be defeated by a casual strike from Pan Shi, the outcome undoubtedly suggested that Zhou Tian’s close combat ability seemed far inferior to Pan Shi’s formidable strength. freёwebnovel.com

When they had just begun their duel, Zhou Tian had already suffered a disadvantage, and in light of the situation, the combat between Zhou Tian and Pan Shi seemed unfavorable for Zhou Tian from every angle.

Even without a comprehensive comparison in close combat, the current circumstances made it clear to Zhou Tian that he probably wasn’t a match for his opponent. As for cultivation level, Zhou Tian’s was also not as profound as Pan Shi’s. In such a scenario where he was inferior in every aspect, Zhou Tian’s insistence on fighting his opponent was unlikely to yield any positive results. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

However, at the moment, Zhou Tian had no way to avoid the fight. No matter how unfavorable the current situation was for him, Zhou Tian had no choice but to persist. Moreover, victory in battle isn’t determined by who is stronger; rather, it’s valid to say that the stronger party typically has a greater chance of winning. Still, in most cases, many factors determine the outcome of a battle, and if luck favors him, even the weaker can beat the stronger.

Given Zhou Tian’s circumstances, he actually wasn’t without his chances of winning.

Firstly, Pan Shi wasn’t fully aware of Zhou Tian’s strength. After arriving in this world, Zhou Tian had grown significantly stronger. Pan Shi might not be entirely clear about Zhou Tian’s experiences, so if Pan Shi continued to underestimate Zhou Tian’s strength as before, he would be at a disadvantage right from the start without even fighting.

Moreover, Zhou Tian’s strength wasn’t solely demonstrated in close combat and cultivation abilities. Even if his offensive power wasn’t as strong as his opponent’s, just having an immortal body could significantly help Zhou Tian improve his odds of winning.

In fact, after his defeat in close combat, Zhou Tian had decisively made changes at that moment.

However he considered it, Zhou Tian knew his current approach wouldn’t enable him to defeat Pan Shi. Thus, the moment something seemed off, Zhou Tian would definitely make a change. With his abilities, even if he lost in close combat and suffered a bit, it was the worst possible outcome, and it would be impossible for Pan Shi to take him down all at once.

When Zhou Tian realized he wasn’t a match for Pan Shi in close combat, he immediately began exploiting his advantage in speed. With Pan Shi closely watching him, Zhou Tian started to maneuver around his opponent.

Although Zhou Tian wasn’t highly accomplished in speed, his time ability allowed him to maintain agile moves easily for a brief period if he was cautious. Pan Shi, despite his superiority in both close combat and cultivation level, was a strong offensive type. That also meant his greatest weakness—the lack of speed—could be easily deduced because of his overwhelming attack power.

Pan Shi’s attack speed might not be slow, but according to most living beings’ cases, when strength or power is considerable, speed will inevitably be slower. Since any creature’s energy is limited, specializing in one area tends to be more effective than being a jack-of-all-trades. Since Pan Shi focused heavily on developing his strength, there would naturally be few living beings left who could devote energy to train in speed.

Indeed, Zhou Tian had previously seen Pan Shi’s speed during their encounters.

Undoubtedly, Pan Shi’s speed was nowhere close to Zhou Tian’s, and even though the setting had changed, Pan Shi’s enhanced attribute was his cultivation rule. Obviously, Pan Shi’s rules did not give him a boost in speed. Therefore, even though Pan Shi’s strength might be slightly stronger in this world, concerning speed compared to the external world, there was essentially no change.

Pan Shi’s speed remained the same, whereas in this world, Zhou Tian’s time ability had grown much stronger, giving him quicker speed. Consequently, considering the situation at that time, the already existing gap in speed between them had naturally become even more pronounced.

Zhou Tian’s figure flashed past Pan Shi without waiting for Pan Shi’s attack to land and Zhou Tian had already disappeared from the spot. Just as Pan Shi wondered where Zhou Tian had gone, he suddenly encountered a surprise attack from behind. Before Pan Shi could understand what was happening, Zhou Tian had already struck his head with a Divine Weapon.

While Zhou Tian’s attack did not cause significant damage to Pan Shi, it undoubtedly impacted him. Yet Zhou Tian’s assault didn’t stop there. As Pan Shi pondered how Zhou Tian had managed to hit him, Zhou Tian’s continuous attacks began to rain down on him incessantly.
