God of Wild Grass and God of Tyranny: Passing the Fake Off as Real

Shi Mo strode forward, his Black Tortoise Martial Soul incomparably heavy as he shielded Osler behind him.

"Now that's more like it."

Su Chen stepped forward as well and thrust his spear at Shi Mo.

"Turtle Shell Defense."

Shi Mo was originally a defense-type Soul Master. He neither dodged nor evaded, preparing to take Su Chen's strike with his tortoise shell.

Clang~

The Life-Killing Spear struck the Black Tortoise's shell with a crisp sound.

"Not bad defense."

Although Su Chen had only used thirty percent of his strength, Shi Mo being able to block it with the quality and power of Su Chen's Martial Soul already proved that his defense was formidable.

What Su Chen did not know was that Shi Mo was utterly shocked.

A glaring crack had appeared where his Black Tortoise shell had been struck.

In battles against opponents of the same rank, this was the first time Shi Mo had encountered someone who had nearly broken through his defense in a single exchange.

"Be careful. This guy's attack power is very strong."

As he raised his guard again, Shi Mo did not forget to warn Osler.

"I know."

Osler had already taken a spear strike. How could he not know how powerful Su Chen's attacks were?

When Shi Mo advanced again, Osler moved as well.

Two identical figures shot out from behind Shi Mo, circling Su Chen at extreme speed, darting in and out.

While trying to bewilder Su Chen, Osler also wanted to relieve Shi Mo's pressure and create an opportunity for a surprise attack.

Ye Lingling could only watch from the side.

She was a support-type Soul Master whose only ability was healing. Su Chen was not injured, so she could not exactly force healing on him.

In the spectator area, Qin Ming's gaze grew sharper and sharper.

Su Chen's performance had brought him far too many surprises, even delights.

Of course, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Osler and Shi Mo's carelessness.

He wanted to see how Su Chen would respond in this situation.

Su Chen's response was simple. His first Soul Ring glowed faintly.

He used only the first soul skill, Chaos, then swept his spear at the Osler on the left.

Only that Osler was briefly slowed by his first soul skill. The clone was unaffected.

"Roar."

Shi Mo was affected as well, but when he saw Su Chen attack Osler first, he immediately pressed forward with his tortoise shell.

His attack power was not particularly high, but the tortoise shell possessed considerable rebounding force.

Even if he could not defeat Su Chen with it, as long as it gave Osler a chance to escape, that would be enough.

But he clearly did not know how fast Su Chen was. On top of that, he too had been affected by Chaos earlier.

By the time his attack arrived, Su Chen had already withdrawn his spear.

Osler's clone dissipated, while his true body was sent sprawling to the ground once more. This time, he truly could not get back up.

Su Chen thrust the Life-Killing Spear out again.

This time, he used his second soul skill, drawing out a small portion of the Evil Thought stored within the Soul Ring bestowed by the God of Evil.

There was naturally no need to go all out against Shi Mo.

However, Su Chen wanted to test the power of his second soul skill. The Evil Thought he drew out only increased his attack power by a little more than double, the most basic enhancement.

He still used only thirty percent of his own strength.

This time, even though Shi Mo used both his first and second soul skills, raising his defensive and rebounding power to their limit, the instant the Life-Killing Spear touched his tortoise shell, it still shattered like broken glass, splitting into pieces in an instant.

With his soul skill broken, Shi Mo dropped directly onto the ground, blood seeping from his nose and mouth.

At that moment, two phantom Nine-Heart Begonias flew out from behind Su Chen and landed on Shi Mo and Osler, healing their injuries.

Shi Mo, Osler: ...

The feeling of being defeated by their opponent, then healed by that same opponent, made them feel awful.

"Let's go."

From the spectator seats, Qin Ming called out to Yu Tianheng and the others before rising and leaving.

Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng exchanged a look, both thinking that Teacher Qin Ming must be furious.

Two students had been defeated by one person, and they had lost so quickly and so thoroughly. Even now, they found it hard to believe.

"How old is that boy? How could he be so strong?"

"Let's go. Shi Mo and Osler are in for it."

The Qin Ming they expected to fly into a rage was actually filled only with urgency.

He was not going to find Osler and Shi Mo. He wanted to see Su Chen.

God Realm.

The God of Destruction, who had briefly logged in through Su Chen, heard the God of Wrath mention something interesting.

"You said the God of Evil asked the God of Wild Grass and the God of Tyranny for some divine power?"

"That's right, my lord. Tyranny himself was surprised that the God of Evil would actually take an interest in his divine power."

The God of Tyranny was a subordinate god under the God of Wrath, a second-level god.

As for the God of Wild Grass, he was merely a third-level god with mediocre abilities, an unnoticed nobody in the God Realm.

The God of Evil asking them for divine power looked strange no matter how one saw it.

The God of Destruction's heart stirred, and he formed a guess.

Evil God and Goodness God had not come looking for him, which meant they had not yet completely persuaded the God of Asura.

That made their actions rather interesting.

"Interesting."

Elsewhere, the God of Goodness had only just learned what the God of Evil intended to do.

"You plan to use Wild Grass Divine Power to disguise Life Divine Power, and Tyranny Divine Power to disguise Destruction Divine Power, in order to lure Tang San into changing sides?"

Even the God of Goodness felt that the God of Evil was being overly fanciful.

"Didn't Asura say that he liked following rules in everything he did? A godly inheritance requires not only a god's consent, but also the inheritor's willingness to accept it."

The God of Evil did not want to openly break the God Realm's rules. But if Tang San himself did not want to accept the God of Asura's inheritance, then it had nothing to do with him.

It was all within the rules. Anyone who wanted to flip the table would be making an enemy of him, Goodness God, and the entire God Realm.

The God of Goodness understood what the God of Evil meant, but that was not what puzzled her.

"Are you sure you can disguise them? Wild Grass Divine Power and Tyranny Divine Power are quite different from Life Divine Power and Destruction Divine Power."

The God of Evil chuckled.

"What if we add the divine powers of the God of Illusion and the God of Bewilderment?"

He had already tested it. After his adjustments, the Pseudo-Life Divine Power and Pseudo-Destruction Divine Power he created could almost pass for the real thing.

As long as they were not actually used in battle, even First-Level Gods would find it difficult to discern the difference.

The God of Goodness said speechlessly, "If you want Destruction Divine Power and Life Divine Power, why not just ask them for some directly?"

"That won't do."

After all, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were not like those second- and third-level gods. If he asked for their divine power, they would not simply hand it over without asking questions.

The God of Destruction did not even want the Goddess of Life to learn of this matter beforehand, so the God of Evil naturally would not do anything that might arouse her suspicions.

And on the God of Destruction's side...

They had agreed on one exchange for one exchange. If he asked the God of Destruction for divine power, who knew whether he would make some difficult demand again?

Therefore, the God of Evil decided to rely on himself.

Wasn't it just Life Divine Power and Destruction Divine Power? If he could not get the real thing, could he not just make convincing imitations himself?

"You really are something."

The God of Goodness greatly admired the God of Evil's wild ideas.

"Isn't it all for our inheritances? Here, take a look. Do these Life Divine Power and Destruction Divine Power look like the real thing?"

The God of Goodness sensed the two clusters of divine power the God of Evil handed her and examined them carefully.

"They do. They look far too real. If I were not very familiar with both Life and Destruction Divine Power, and if you had not told me the truth beforehand, I might have been fooled without realizing it."

The God of Goodness even felt that the God of Evil had made them too meticulously.

"With your talent for making knockoffs, it would be a waste if you did not become the God of Falsehood."

She had merely made an offhand complaint, but the God of Evil actually fell into thought.

"The God of Falsehood's power does have some worthwhile aspects. I'll get some and try it out."

"Hey..."

Before the God of Goodness could react, the God of Evil had already disappeared.
