Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 106 — Grandpa Bai's Strength
The One-Eye Pirate Leader was so surprised Zhou Yuan could defeat the mainstay of his water element with the fire element, he did not expect Zhou Yuan to master such a level change of type.
Not only was the leader of the Pirate, the people around were similarly shocked.
Those who had long lived to be a swordsman understood what Zhou Yuan was doing was something that was difficult to do.
Mastering the type change took a long time in his mastery, the problem was that Zhou Yuan could do that in his teens plus the flames he released were of a high-level fire technique, it was difficult for those who saw him not to be surprised.
"Sister, who exactly is this Brother Yuan? I've never seen anyone release a fireball that big?" Qiyao until did not blink when Zhou Yuan showed her his fire technique.
"I don't know either but for sure this Brother Yuan is a warrior with an unusual background, neither his strength nor his ability I have ever encountered in the martial world..." Huang Li replied.
On the other hand Xi Jinxue actually thought different things, he had seen the fireball that Zhou Yuan released during the competition first but compared to the current one, Zhou Yuan's fireball was much larger.
Zhou Yuan calmed his hunting breath, using the elemental stance always draining his inner strength quickly. If not forced maybe he will not do a change of type.
"My water ball can be defeated by him then what about this one..." The Pirate Leader returned to dancing but his movements this time were different from before.
The leader of the pirates is a swordsman who focuses on his ability in internal energy science and water type changes so that he is not good at fighting in close quarters.
After some movement, the water around the Pirate Leader started to shake followed by the waves slowly rising upwards.
Zhou Yuan's breathing was restrained, he could see the waves continuing to rise until they reached seven meters.
Zhou Yuan realized that the Pirate Leader was an expert in controlling the water element, as both of them were in the waters making the position of the Pirate Leader advantageous over Zhou Yuan.
The formed waves turned into high waves, the Pirate Leader unleashed his profound energy as soon as the water wave started advancing towards Zhou Yuan.
"Dam-ch!"
Seeing such a high wave, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to use Kusanagi's sword but before he pulled it suddenly someone appeared in front of him, blocking the wave.
The person releases a tread attack on the water wave which immediately high waves break and turn into a small drizzle rain.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened, he did not expect that the person blocking the wave was the beggar grandfather he had met before.
"Grandfather Bai, how about..." Zhou Yuan had trouble speaking.
"Too quick to surprise Yuan'er, do you seem to have trouble dealing with it?"
Zhou Yuan was still shocked but then nodded, That Pirate Leader has strength in the Intermediate-stage Crystal Realm but because he fought on the water, the Pirate Leader has power in the Intermediate-stage Crystal Realm, his abilities so improved he could at least defeat those who were at Stage 6 or Stage 7.
The Pirate Leader on the other hand was surprised to see Grandpa Bai's action so easily destroy his technique that he was not discouraged but instead created the next wave of water but times higher than before.
The wave of water was exactly like a huge tsunami, it moved quickly, ready to flip the ship in front of it.
Seeing this Grandpa Bai only smiled faintly and turned to Zhou Yuan, "Yuan'er, lend me your sword?"
Zhou Yuan frowned, he did not understand why Grandpa Bai borrowed the sword from him but he did not refuse and gave his father's heirloom to Grandpa Bai.
"Yuan'er, I want to show you something extraordinary, seeing from your talent I'm pretty sure you're a decent person to be able to see the world beyond..."
Zhou Yuan did not understand Grandpa Bai's words but he saw that the beggar Grandfather started to raise his sword into the air before flowing his inner power.
The heirloom sword Grandpa Bai was holding slowly began to glow a pitch-black purple that grew increasingly dense with time, on the same side, his sword eyes were emitting an aura of darkness.
Grandfather Bai swung his sword vertically towards the Pirate Leader, the one swing instantly created a mighty purple-colored sword energy and split the waters through it.
That sword energy was moving at a speed that was difficult for the eyes to follow, the Pirate Leader and his subordinates had yet to react when that sword energy hit them and killed everything.
Zhou Yuan took a cold breath, Grandpa Bai's sword energy not only killed those pirates but destroyed 11 of their ships at once.
What shocked Zhou Yuan the most was the result of the sword energy, for several seconds the waters split in half until the ground level.
Zhou Yuan's entire life had only seen sword energy have such devastating power that even his teacher couldn't do what Grandpa Bai did.
Zhou Yuan was sure that the current number one champion of the Moon Empire, Jiang Qisha, could not do the same.
"Ah, I seem to be overdoing it..." Grandpa Bai scratched his head while smiling awkwardly.
"Grandfather Bai, that's-..."
"Too impressive." Grandpa Bai cut in and chuckled. "As long as you have enough strength and continue to pursue swordsmanship, splitting the ocean is not difficult for you because it seems like you have the potential to be able to do that."
"I mean Grandpa?"
Grandfather Bai smiled faintly before returning his sword to Zhou Yuan back. "Yuan'er, you realize that you are an extraordinary swordsman, I am honestly more surprised how you can use such a level of fire element and have a deep understanding of the sword at your young age. That's too impossible."
Zhou Yuan smiled but did not reply, he could not tell that he had lived twice and all the abilities he had now came from his first life.
