181: Spying in secret

"Why did it turn out this way?"

"Am I still not awake? Is everything before my eyes an illusion?"

"No, impossible, how could Kuang Tao lose?"

"I thought it would be a fierce Dragon-Tiger battle. Who would have thought it would end so easily?"

"This kid is simply divine. If I had this kind of strength, I don't know how many Secluded Factions would extend an olive branch to me."

Praise, doubt, and envy were endless.

However, the vast majority of people were still in a daze.

Kuang Tao lost too easily, didn't he?

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed this outcome even if you beat them to death.

"He had too much of an idol burden!"

Shen Xi spoke calmly.

One sentence revealed the essence of this battle.

In terms of strength, Kuang Tao was actually not inferior to Shen Xi after he suppressed his combat power.

If they had truly gone all out, this battle would probably not have ended in less than one or two hours.

But Kuang Tao was too concerned about his Face.

For his Face, he wanted to end the battle quickly and defeat Shen Xi.

However, his strength did not allow him to do so, which made him anxious.

The more anxious he became, the more prone he was to making mistakes, and Shen Xi seized Kuang Tao's flaws and suppressed him.

However, even so, the battle would not have ended so easily.

Kuang Tao was not without the power to fight; as long as he stabilized his state and defended, enduring Shen Xi's first wave of thunderous attacks, he would still have had a chance to continue fighting.

But he was too concerned about what others thought, which caused problems with his state of mind. He wanted to save Face, and his attacks became increasingly hasty.

Ultimately, this led to him being easily killed.

"This kid is not simple."

"He is so young, yet his combat experience is richer than anyone else's."

"He is a formidable enemy."

"It seems the competition for the Tower of the Heavens this time will be even more intense than imagined."

The speakers were several young people standing at the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens.

These people were naturally the strongest among those present.

Each of their combat powers had reached the level of crushing the Initial Stage of Innate Realm.

When Shen Xi and Kuang Tao had clashed earlier, these people had remained silent, watching with cold eyes.

Even when Kuang Tao was killed, apart from being shocked by Shen Xi's strength, they did not show much emotional fluctuation.

But when Shen Xi spoke that sentence, their expressions finally changed.

A person who can so calmly judge the situation of a battle, analyze the enemy's weaknesses, and ultimately seize those weaknesses to turn a stalemate into an advantage, and an advantage into a victory, ultimately successfully killing the enemy, is absolutely not to be underestimated.

One must know that strength can be improved, but insight, vision, and experience cannot be accumulated in a short period.

Under circumstances of equal strength, the richer the combat experience, the greater the chance of victory.

If Realm is the overt strength, then insight, vision, and experience are the hidden strength.

To become a powerful Martial Artist, both overt and hidden strengths are indispensable.

This also made the young people unable to understand how Shen Xi, so young, could possess such rich combat experience.

This was naturally the result of Martial Arts practice.

During the practice process, the insights generated from the practice all became nourishment for Shen Xi's growth. This subtly enhanced his experience, and coupled with the blessing of his Martial Heart, allowed him to judge the current situation more calmly.

Amidst everyone's praise, Shen Xi stepped towards the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens.

Behind him, Chen Fang and the others quickly followed.

This time, no one blocked them again.

Just four powerhouses with Innate-level combat power were enough to inspire awe in everyone, not to mention the presence of Shen Xi, whose combat power had reached the level of crushing the Initial Stage of Innate Realm.

No one would come forward to seek trouble, unless they were tired of living.

As for the rule that one person can only bring one companion, to be honest, even if Chen Fang and the others were not Innate-level powerhouses, Shen Xi alone could lead everyone within fifty meters, or even to the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens.

After all, rules are made by the strong... At the same time.

Wu Su stood on a high mountain beside the Tower of the Heavens, looking down with cold eyes at the entrance of the Tower of the Heavens.

He had witnessed the entire battle between Shen Xi and Kuang Tao earlier.

Precisely because of this, his expression was particularly grim.

After a few days, Shen Xi had grown stronger again.

And the speed of his improvement made even Wu Su secretly alarmed.

"Fortunately, I had an Opportunity, and my current combat power has reached the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to deal with this trash."

Wu Su couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, he did not act rashly.

Before he had absolute certainty, he did not want to take risks.

Especially since Liu Yiyi and the others were still with Shen Xi; if they joined forces, he might not truly be able to kill Shen Xi.

If Shen Xi were to escape again and encounter another Opportunity, then he might no longer be Shen Xi's opponent.

"There is still a day and a half until the Tower of the Heavens opens. Everything is still in time. Sun Wei has already found the Deceiver. Once we rendezvous, with two Early Stage of the Acquired Realm experts joining forces, Shen Xi will undoubtedly die!"

Wu Su spoke word by word, his strong killing intent causing the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.

After entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, Wu Su and Sun Wei happened to be teleported to the same area and met up immediately.

Subsequently, he purchased two sound transmission flowers, giving one to Sun Wei and keeping the other for himself.

He also bestowed a semi-finished forbidden weapon given to him by the Wu Family to Sun Wei, ordering him to find the Deceiver sent by Vice City Lord Jiang Yun, the Deputy City Lord of Zhu Feng City.

As for him, he entered a blessed land where he could quickly improve his combat power to Cultivate.

According to the message Sun Wei sent back not long ago, he had already found the Deceiver's whereabouts and would be able to bring the person back within a day.

At that time, Wu Su and the Deceiver attacking together would definitely be able to kill Shen Xi.

"I'll let you live for one more day."

Wu Su looked in Shen Xi's direction with cold eyes... "Hm?"

Shen Xi suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fang asked from the side.

"I don't know why, but I feel like someone is secretly watching me."

Shen Xi said with a puzzled expression.

Just now, a feeling of being secretly watched had surfaced in his heart.

"It must be an illusion, right? Don't overthink it. Quickly adjust your state to its peak. The Tower of the Heavens will open in a day and a half."

Chen Fang patted Shen Xi's shoulder, signaling him not to overthink.

The most urgent matter at hand was naturally still the Tower of the Heavens.

This was the first major Opportunity after the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opened!
