"Haahhh--"
Shennong raised his fist and charged at Feng Chen. Even though he knew victory was impossible, he still wanted to fight. Feng Chen, however, kept disappearing before his eyes like a ghost.
Anyone else would have given up by now, right? This could hardly be called a battle. It was nothing more than futile one-sided effort. But Shennong had his own reason for fighting.
He wanted to become stronger, so he could protect everyone in the tribe and protect the people important to him--
"I want to... protect Xuanyuan!"
The Honkai Energy in the air began to thin.
After noticing the change in Shennong, the corners of Feng Chen's lips began to curl upward.
It was extremely rare for a male to possess Honkai Energy adaptability. In the Divine Land, where people had never come into direct contact with Honkai or fought against it, there was only one way for an exceptional male to gain Honkai Energy adaptability--
By being assimilated by someone who possessed a Stigmata. Calling it assimilation was not quite accurate, since the Stigmata on Shennong's body had not fully formed. It had merely given him the corresponding adaptability. Even so, that was enough to draw Honkai Energy into his body and unleash tremendous power.
"Bang!"
His fist struck the mountain wall, but aside from the sound of impact, nothing happened.
That alone was enough to crush Shennong's confidence.
"Damn it!"
Not enough.
His strength was not enough.
[Honkai] could destroy an entire civilization, yet this amount of power was barely a drop in the bucket.
"Teach me... Make me stronger!"
He quickly recovered from the blow. As expected of Shennong... Feng Chen sighed inwardly, while also deciding whom to hand Shennong over to. No, she should have been responsible for Shennong from the beginning, right?
