Intolerable

Sinan Yao found it hard to accept and demanded loudly, "Where did you get that Divine Armor?"

In his recollection, he had never seen this set of Divine Armor before. Moreover, when his Divine Armor system scanned it, it found no matching model at all.

In other words, this set of Divine Armor might not belong to Riyao.

But if it did not belong to Riyao, could it be from the Black Abyss?

Besides, Riyao had archives of the Black Abyss's Divine Armor data as well. Why could it not be matched either? That left him deeply puzzled.

Xiang Tian had no intention of answering him. He directly pulled out that cylinder, and source energy formed into a longsword that thrust straight at Sinan Yao.

Sinan Yao tossed out a device that instantly transformed into a massive shield. Xiang Tian stabbed into it, sending dazzling light spraying outward. After a muffled boom, the giant shield opened and closed, clamping Xiang Tian, who had failed to evade in time, between its halves.

Seeing Xiang Tian restrained, everyone sighed and shook their heads. Sure enough, although Xiang Tian also possessed Divine Armor, there was still quite a gap between him and Sinan Yao, one of Riyao's heirs.

The fight had barely begun, and he had already been subdued. When they saw him take out the Divine Armor, they had thought he was something special. So this was all he had.

Everyone secretly shook their heads and sighed without end. Xiang Tian's performance had been rather underwhelming, leaving them disappointed.

Seeing this, Ning Rong curled her lips. Though she did not know where this fellow had gotten his Divine Armor, trying to clash head-on with Sinan Yao using Divine Armor was clearly proof that something was wrong with his head.

As one of Riyao's heirs, Sinan Yao's Divine Armor was absolutely among the very best.

Sinan Yao looked at Xiang Tian, who was resisting with both hands, and sneered. "You do not seriously think the data of your Divine Armor can contend with mine, do you?"

Xiang Tian, trapped within the crimson giant shield, replied, "That's right. That's exactly what I think."

With that, he exerted force through both arms and gave a violent shake. The crimson giant shield was shoved apart, and he immediately kicked Sinan Yao in the chest before he could dodge.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded. Only Qiu Changfeng smiled faintly.

Which of the Eighteen Generals of the Black Abyss wore mediocre Divine Armor? Even if Xiang Tian's could not compare to Sinan Yao's, it likely would not fall far short.

On the training ground, Sinan Yao was greatly shocked, but he immediately steadied his mind. Once he had regained his footing, he pointed at Xiang Tian, and two crescent flying blades behind him spun out.

The longsword in Xiang Tian's hand shifted, instantly turning into a shield of light. Only then did Sinan Yao realize that Xiang Tian's Divine Armor was not low-grade at all!

The light shield blocked the two flying blades. As the three tangled together, the shield rapidly changed shape, becoming a long whip that tightly wrapped around the flying blades. Xiang Tian flung it with all his might, sending them directly vanishing beyond the horizon.

"You!"

Sinan Yao was shocked and enraged. Xiang Tian's move had been far too fast for him to react.

"The real show is starting. Pay attention."

Xiang Tian's voice traveled from beneath the Divine Armor into Sinan Yao's ears. Then everyone saw Xiang Tian leap up as the long whip swiftly transformed into a broadsword and cleaved straight down at Sinan Yao.

Yet Sinan Yao remained unhurried. He lightly snapped his fingers. "I told you, no matter what, you can never defeat me!"

Those transparent delivery tubes began to burst with golden light. In an instant, Sinan Yao's Divine Armor began to change, as though every component on it were being reforged.

"First form, activate!"

Amid everyone's cries of surprise, Sinan Yao raised an arm and actually took Xiang Tian's slash head-on. Then he punched Xiang Tian in the head of his Divine Armor, sending him flying.

"I have to admit, your Divine Armor has exceeded my expectations somewhat. But you should understand that my identity has doomed you to never defeat me in a battle of Divine Armor."

Sinan Yao's Divine Armor had now changed form. A disk like a blazing sun floated behind him, source energy flickering within it as though it were gathering power.

The people present gasped in amazement. It was their first time seeing Divine Armor capable of changing forms.

Then the disk behind him began to tremble.

"Let me show you the true power of my Divine Armor. You should feel honored. This is Divine Armor that Riyao has never made public."

The moment he said this, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

It was actually Divine Armor still under secrecy. Worthy of Sinan Yao—he revealed it the moment he chose to, without the slightest fear.

The blazing sun disk suddenly bloomed with light, like a scorching sun that stabbed at the eyes. Sinan Yao grabbed it with a backhand, leaped into the air, and swung it down in a brutal cleave.

Xiang Tian had only just risen, but seeing this, he remained calm. He took up his sword again, and Sword Intent surged skyward.

This sight directly stunned Sinan Yao in midair.

Are you fucking some kind of monster? How can you use Sword Intent after putting on Divine Armor?

My entire Deity Transformation Realm cultivation cannot function inside Divine Armor. Are you a devil?

No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand. The others were the same, their faces blank with bewilderment. They had never heard of anyone being able to use the methods of cultivation while wearing Divine Armor.

Forget them—Qiu Changfeng himself was dumbstruck. What kind of bizarre trick was this? Was the inside of Divine Armor not sealed off, making it impossible to communicate with the spiritual energy outside?

While everyone's thoughts ran wild, Xiang Tian had already raised his sword to meet the attack.

Sky-piercing light burst in all directions, making it impossible to see what was happening within.

But those with slightly higher cultivation could see it: Xiang Tian swung his sword once, twice, too many times to count, ravaging Sinan Yao as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

A red figure flew out, and before everyone's eyes, Sinan Yao's Divine Armor fell apart.

Blood still stained the corner of his mouth. The pain coursing through his body gradually twisted his proud heart, leaving his expression terrifying.

"Who exactly are you? How did you obtain this set of Divine Armor?"

Unfortunately, he could not see Xiang Tian's expression behind the armor.

Xiang Tian walked up to him and crouched down, leaning close to Sinan Yao's ear through the Divine Armor. "The facts have proven it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You have to admit that after I took away the Sword Intent, it became stronger in my hands than it ever was in yours."

No one knew what Xiang Tian had said, but they saw Sinan Yao spit out a huge mouthful of blood.

Xiang Tian dismissed his Divine Armor and prepared to leave. In truth, this battle had not been all that interesting.

But at that moment, a sudden change erupted across the entire training ground. A burst of light enveloped the grounds, separating Xiang Tian and Sinan Yao from everyone else.

Qiu Changfeng's expression changed drastically. This aura was something he could not contend against. Then he saw Ning Rong fly inside.

"You foolish girl, what are you trying to do?!"

He was furious beyond measure. The matter between the two of them could have been settled in private. How could she be so bold as to do this before all the academy's students?

When Xiang Tian saw Ning Rong, he smiled and looked at her. "What is it, Student Ning Rong? Do you have some advice for me?"

Ning Rong's face remained cold as frost, while Sinan Yao, lying on the ground, felt a surge of joy. If Ning Rong was making a move, could there perhaps be even the slightest bit of it on his account?

Unfortunately, he had actually lost, and that filled him with shame once more.

Looking at Xiang Tian, Ning Rong sneered. "No advice. I simply want to settle the matter between us. Will you dig out your own eyes, or shall I do it for you?"

Hearing her words, Xiang Tian narrowed his eyes, anger already rising within him.

This Ning Rong was starting to become somewhat unreasonable, but since he was in the wrong, he still forcibly endured it.

"If possible, I can satisfy whatever compensation you demand. But taking my eyes is going too far."

"Too far? Do you still not know who I am? You think my demand is excessive?"

Outside, no one could hear their conversation. Qiu Changfeng used every method at his disposal, trying to break through this barrier, but his strength truly fell somewhat short.

For a moment, Xiang Tian looked at Ning Rong, his eyes already filled with coldness.

Naturally, Ning Rong was unafraid. She had not placed Xiang Tian in her eyes at all.

"I hope you understand clearly who you are speaking to."
