Chapter 220
Honestly speaking, Tian Kuan felt that he had already found the most dangerous person in the whole of Central Pine City .
When he was outside of the city and saw that the surrounding blood fiends were obviously transforming at a slower speed than those in other places, he became more alert . He felt that there must be a special reason or some kind of special person for this to be happening .
Now all his focus was on Ai Hui .
Whether or not Ai Hui was the cause of this phenomenon, he was the most dangerous person in Tian Kuan’s eyes . He felt that Ai Hui was dangerous not because he was formidable . Truthfully, while Ai Hui had proven that he was a valiant fighter, amongst all the strong contenders Tian Kuan had met, Ai Hui wasn’t up to par .
Whether it was Yu Mingqiu or the mysterious experts within the organizations, their skills far exceeded Ai Hui’s abilities .
But with Ai Hui, he felt a sense of danger .
Tian Kuan chose a path different from others’ . The money he had obtained from successive selections was all invested into his body . He only believed in himself and his body; he had never thought of relying on other forces .
That was a stupid choice .
He had suffered to no end because of that choice . He had no advantage in the beginning, and each victory came with bruises and scars . A few times, with serious injuries, he had come a hair’s breadth away from dying . But he stood by his decision nevertheless, pumping resources into his own body and refining his blood continuously .
His investment gradually started paying off .
His body could endure the increasing grade of blood refinement, but he became crazier . The intensity of each blood refinement exceeded his body’s safe limit . His stubbornness and rashness brought him a lot of trouble . For example, getting injured was an everyday thing . But these traits also brought him a lot of benefits . His body was much stronger than others’, especially his recovery abilities .
In other words, he had a more tenacious vitality .
His opponents were always shocked to find out that many a times he had managed to survive despite his severe injuries . In fact, he had learned how to turn his injuries into opportunities, allowing him to claim victory more often than not .
But no one knew that he had yet another secret ability .
That was his intuition when it came to danger .
Under his unremitting perseverance, his body had undergone astonishing changes . Years of struggling between life and death had sharpened his danger-sensing ability .
It had saved his life many times, allowing him to brush past death .
In the first moments of him perceiving that Ai Hui was dangerous, he was still applauding his splendid performance while inwardly sensing a faint danger .
Tian Kuan wasn’t worried about the condition of his body, as he had been involved in many worse situations . He just needed time to completely recover, and he had a strong premonition that if he could recover this time, his abilities would take a leap .
This was all thanks to the fearsome fellow in the Infantry Division .
That fellow’s final, all-out blow broke through his elemental energy limit . With extreme willpower, the elemental energy underwent a change Tian Kuan couldn’t wrap his head around .
At the last juncture, Tian Kuan detected his breakthrough .
Almost instantly, he decided that risk had allowed the fellow to run elemental energy into his body .
Li Wei’s elemental energy was simply extraordinary, so much so that it damaged Kuan Tian’s body significantly . With injuries exceeding his expectations, not only did Kuan Tian not get angry, he admired Li Wei . As for the anger on his face, it was merely a show for that crazy lady .
His body hadn’t recovered fully because it was still stubbornly swallowing the elemental energy that contained strong willpower . Once the absorption of this unusual elemental energy was complete, his body would then transform once again .
That was for the future . All he could see now was the youth who was standing on a long street with a sword in his hand .
This was because of the danger he felt – a danger more intense than that of the elementalist from the infantry division . No one sensed the change in Ai Hui’s swordplay except for Kuan Tian .
And the extremely cruel massacre that thoroughly subverted Kuan Tian’s cognition . There had never been any psychological barrier preventing Kuan Tian from killing people; countless had died by his hands . But killing even one enemy now made his spirit waver . It could be from excitement, or from being relieved from a burden and so on .
No matter how seasoned a killer, it was impossible to feel nothing .
But the youth Tian Kuan observed on the street was absolutely still . No motions, excitement, or tension . It was an emotionless machinery massacre . Perhaps what he had harvested wasn’t life but the grass target in the training ground .
Tian Kuan felt danger, exceptionally intense danger .
He would have launched a sneak attack and gotten rid of that fellow if not for his injuries . But right now he couldn’t because the youth’s swordplay filled him with fear .
It was a swordplay he had not seen before . A dangerous odor .
Hiding in a dark corner, Tian Kuan thought hard about how to deal with that frightening slaughter machine . No kind of trick had any meaning when put before such slaughter machines .
When the blood fiend appeared in the sky, Tian Kuan’s eyes lit up .
Speak of the devil!
The blood fiend close by transformed at a slower rate . Tian Kuan suspected that it could be because there had been a large-scale blood refinement, which took away too much Blood of God from the nearby blood forest .
Following the transforming and strengthening of the blood fiends, they become more territorial as well . Strong wild beasts had stronger territorial awareness as compared to weaker ones .
