Zhou Tian retreated decisively, the moment the idea of leaving crossed his mind, he directly dashed towards the exit without a word. And when Pan Shi saw Zhou Tian’s actions, he immediately attempted to intervene, but after realizing his efforts had no effect, he simply allowed Zhou Tian to retreat in that manner.
Pan Shi was very clear that, given Zhou Tian’s abilities, if Zhou Tian intended to leave and Pan Shi wasn’t prepared, then trying to keep Zhou Tian would only be a delusion.
Thus, since even Pan Shi himself knew he couldn’t keep Zhou Tian, rather than wasting time on him, Pan Shi felt it was better to simply let Zhou Tian go.
As a result, Pan Shi only made a tentative move, and upon discovering Zhou Tian’s intent to depart, he ceased any further actions. Also, because Pan Shi didn’t take action, Zhou Tian was able to leave with such ease. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Regardless, today’s battle was one without a clear winner.
The Tyrannosaurus no longer needed to be mentioned, as it had become the sole casualty, and according to the world’s rules, it was likely to end up with its bones scattered and lost. Therefore, anyone among them could claim victory except the Tyrannosaurus which could never be the victor.
As for Zhou Tian, although he had escaped from the killing game prepared by Pan Shi, which made him a winner in this regard, had Pan Shi not appeared, Zhou Tian would likely be savoring dragon meat by now.
Now, although Zhou Tian had escaped a calamity, he had lost the spoils of war he was originally entitled to. Therefore, despite feeling fortunate, there was an undeniable bitterness in his heart about the outcome.
Similarly, although Pan Shi secured the Tyrannosaurus as spoils of war due to his superior strength, the fact that he let Zhou Tian escape meant this action was a failure on his part. After calculating the results, it was clear that none of the three parties in the original conflict emerged victorious.
Of course, this battle was merely a beginning. Excluding the other living beings of this world, the relationship between Zhou Tian and Pan Shi was set, and neither was likely to give the other any chance to survive. So, unless they avoided meeting like they had today without an opportunity to leave one another behind, any slight chance they get in the future, it’s feared that Zhou Tian and the others would try to hold back their respective opponents.
With this encounter, Pan Shi had essentially lost a significant advantage he initially held.
Before Pan Shi truly made a move, although Zhou Tian had considered the possibility that Pan Shi, his enemy, might attack him, he had neither received any information nor encountered an ambush from Pan Shi, so he had not been particularly vigilant against him.
In Zhou Tian’s eyes, since Pan Shi was not surviving in this world, it indicated that the world must hold some disadvantages for Pan Shi. Therefore, even though it was quite possible that Pan Shi would lie in wait to deal with Zhou Tian after throwing him into this world, there was also a chance that Pan Shi might simply leave.
As such, although Zhou Tian had considered his enemy Pan Shi, he hadn’t taken many precautions. Otherwise, if Zhou Tian had just been a bit more vigilant with his Beastman clone, he might not have been able to completely prevent Pan Shi’s actions, but he certainly wouldn’t have allowed Pan Shi to stealthily lay so many traps in the shadows.
Now, although Pan Shi’s appearance had indeed caused Zhou Tian significant trouble, and it could even be said that without some strength on Zhou Tian’s part, he might have already fallen prey to Pan Shi’s poisonous hands.
However, after this clash with Pan Shi, Zhou Tian had gleaned information about his opponent. Knowing that Pan Shi had not left and instead decided to eliminate him in this world, Zhou Tian would naturally be more wary of his enemy from now on.
There’s no doubt that, despite Zhou Tian’s strength, it might be difficult for him to defeat Pan Shi at this time. But with Zhou Tian’s abilities and his rapid advancement rate, it was believed that although beating Pan Shi was extremely difficult, if he merely aimed to protect himself, then Pan Shi would find it impossible to take him down based on Zhou Tian’s performance.
Therefore, after encountering Pan Shi, what Zhou Tian needed to do was find a way to increase his own strength. In terms of cultivation level, Zhou Tian believed that as long as he caught up with Pan Shi, regardless of Pan Shi’s current ability to suppress him, once he matched Pan Shi’s cultivation level and combined both types of strength, his overall power would undoubtedly surpass Pan Shi.
So, if Zhou Tian’s cultivation progress surpassed Pan Shi, with time, even in this world, he would eventually possess the strength to defeat Pan Shi. And once Zhou Tian truly gained that power, dealing with Pan Shi would naturally become very simple.
