I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 292

Qi Shaoxuan stared at Shen Tian woefully. There were even tears in his eyes.

My goodness!

Shen Tian's scalp felt numb from that stare.

He quietly shifted his eyes away from Qi Shaoxuan's face.

Yeap, it's much better not to look him in the eye.

The corners of Qi Shaoxuan's mouth twitched.

That despicable fellow. He can't even deign to look me straight in the eye. Is he that arrogant?

So the Divine Firmament Saint is really that arrogant! Things must also have been like that for Master when he met Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe!

The humiliation from this kind of disregard—I can understand it now!

At this point, Qi Shaoxuan finally understood why his master would clench his fists in hatred whenever the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was mentioned.

To proud prodigies like them, it was indeed unbearable to be suppressed in this manner!

Qi Shaoxuan clenched his fists and gave Shen Tian a deep bow.

“Firstly, I want to apologize to the Divine Firmament Saint.

“I trespassed the Saint Mountain and inadvertently disturbed Brother Shen's sword practice. This was my mistake. If Brother Shen wants compensation, please let me know.”

Eh?

Shen Tian was speechless.

Why is this fellow being so polite?

I feel very uncomfortable seeing you behave so courteously.

Following that, Qi Shaoxuan bowed again toward Shen Tian.

“Also, I want to thank you. Uncle-Master Zi Xuan is like family to me, and he even blocked that sword attack for me. I want to thank Brother Shen for healing his injury.”

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Shen Tian's forehead.

There's no need to feel grateful about that. I was the one who injured him in the first place.

Damn, is he trying to worm his way into my good books!?

Qi Shaoxuan bowed a third time.

“Third, I want to thank Brother Shen for successfully triggering my fighting spirit!”

Shen Tian, “???”

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes shone as he gazed at Shen Tian.

“To be honest, I have been without a worthy opponent for too long in Eastern Wilderness. This time, I admit that you have defeated me. But this is only temporary. I will keep working hard to catch up to you. All the way until I surpass you.”

Shen Tian couldn't help being shocked as he looked at Qi Shaoxuan, who was exuding an intense fighting spirit.

Completely puzzled, he asked, “Brother Qi, have we… sparred before?”

Kacha!

Kacha!

Kacha!

Qi Shaoxuan felt as if bolts of lightning were striking the top of his head. He started to have doubts about his life.

Brother Qi, have we sparred before?

Shen Tian's answer pushed Qi Shaoxuan into a pit of utter frustration and despair.

In this world, the saddest thing was not being defeated.

It was when the person who defeated you didn't even remember that he had done so.

Even worse was when the person who defeated you had no recollection of ever sparring with you before.

So in the Divine Firmament Saint's eyes, I am just a silly little jester? He has absolutely no regard for me?

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Divine Firmament Saint, you have gone too far!

Master, the humiliation you have endured over the past 1,000 years… I feel you.

Feel the humiliation. Contemplate the humiliation. Accept the humiliation. Understand the humiliation. People who didn't understand this kind of humiliation…

Would never have their true battle spirit ignited!

Qi Shaoxuan took a deep breath and stared straight at Shen Tian. “Brother Shen has the right to disregard me now. But the wheels of fortune can turn in any direction any time, don't—”

Shen Tian's scalp went numb when he realized Qi Shaoxuan was about to curse him.

I will be doomed if the Son of Providence curses me!

Haven't I been cursed enough by this stupid author?

Come on, it's just words. Anyone could say them!

Shen Tian calmly turned away and interrupted Qi Shaoxuan.

“I have only one opponent. Myself. I have never regarded enemies I have defeated as my opponents. I will give you time to catch up. Until you are too far behind to even see me.”

Gazing after Shen Tian's regal back profile and hearing his calm words, Qi Shaoxuan was stunned.

All he could hear in his mind now were Shen Tian's parting words. His ears were buzzing!

“I have only one opponent. Myself. I have never regarded enemies I have defeated as my opponents. I will give you time to catch up. Until you are too far behind to even see me.”

Such… dominant words. Such a powerful self-confidence.

Is this the kind of invincibility that a true young top prodigy should have?

So my previous path of invincibility was a laughable mistake right from the start.

Is a true invincible practitioner someone who relies on their own powerful cultivation level to dominate and challenge all those beneath them?

Of course not!

He recalled how he used to reign over the Eastern Wilderness' sacred grounds and how he forced prodigies, who were clearly at a lower cultivation level than him, to face him in battle and end up losing to him.

Compared to Shen Tian, who was so low-profile that he chose not to have his name on the God Of War List, Qi Shaoxuan felt that his so-called “path of invincibility” was so superficial that it was just a complete joke.

To target all the powerful practitioners in this world and to continuously push one's boundaries—this was the true path of invincibility!

As if he had gained enlightenment, Qi Shaoxuan's aura suddenly surged.

His hair flew, and his armor glowed. A dragon's growl rumbled within him.

His cultivation level had once again advanced.

Shen Tian was dumbstruck by that.

This kind of miraculous breakthrough was just too ridiculous!

Others have to cultivate for years and decades and may not even successfully attain a breakthrough.

But I just spouted some nonsense, and Qi Shaoxuan was so triggered that he got an epiphany and achieved a breakthrough?

What the hell!?

Are you joking?

What have you done in your life to deserve this!?

You are so lucky, have you no shame at all?

“Brother Shen's words have really opened my eyes. I feel ashamed!”

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes were sparkling. He cupped his fists at Shen Tian. “From now on, I have no eyes for any other prodigy!

“Brother Shen, you will be my only target. I will pursue you and keep improving myself in the process. All the way until I successfully surpass you!”

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched.

You keep talking about surpassing me all day long. Don't you have anything else better to do?

Shen Tian felt a sour taste in his mouth. Very sour.

How the hell did Qi Shaoxuan gain a breakthrough just from the nonsense I spouted?

It was only a small mental breakthrough for Qi Shaoxuan, but… a breakthrough was still a breakthrough, no matter how small.

Hmph! You won't get off so easily!

Shen Tian looked at Qi Shaoxuan and asked in a mild voice, “Brother Qi, do you really want to catch up to me and surpass me?”

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes were filled with determination. “Yes. I want to catch up to you. As long as I can catch up or even surpass you, I am willing to pay any price!”

Catch up to me? Surpass me?

Telling me all these to my face?

Brother, isn't that a bit too much?

Shen Tian smiled. “In that case, I will give you some tips. The foundations of my cultivation are derived from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. But my most powerful techniques are from the God of War Pagoda.”

That's right.

It was Ye Qingcang who had given Shen Tian the Tinder God of War Sutra, Sky-Smashing Palm technique, and the newly-learned Flying Sword technique!

As for whether Qi Shaoxuan could learn them from the God of War Pagoda too? It depended on Ye Qingcang's mood.

Anyway, I am not part of the God of War Pagoda management, so it's none of my business.

The Sky-Smashing Palm and that terrifyingly powerful sword technique, they are indeed from the God of War Pagoda!?

Qi Shaoxuan took a deep breath. His eyes blazed with an unprecedented fire.

So if I wish to become more powerful, I need to battle.

I need to keep topping up!
