In their view, Zayn had been at a disadvantage. As long as their companion’s sneak attack was a success, Zayn would certainly be injured, and then he would not be able to resist any longer! Beating him to death at that point would have been easy!They did not think their surprise attack would fail so spectacularly. Indeed, not only had it failed but it also gave Zayn an opening which he used to turn the tables.After knocking out one of the native powerhouses with a single punch, the pressure he felt was reduced substantially. He then sped up his movements and launched a counterattack right away. He was just one man, yet it felt as if he was a troop of soldiers. He charged toward the other three native powerhouses. It had become their turn to be put under immense pressure, and they felt shivers down their spines.They could see that Zayn was too powerful and they were no match for him, so the idea of retreating occurred to them.However, such thoughts would dampen their spirits a
Those were four powerhouses half a step away from the invincibilis state. Moreover, they were not just ordinary powerhouses but the best they had to offer. Even a genius like Bjorn would be sure he could defeat just one of them. Even so, Zayn had fought against all four of them and still won. Moreover, he did it so easily that it had changed Bjorn’s impression of him completely. He had a newfound respect for the man!Zayn broke the native powerhouse’s neck in such a calm manner, and he did not hesitate to go after the other two when he was done.It was as if his physical strength was limitless. He had just experienced a vigorous battle, yet he could still remain as swift as before. Moreover, his breathing did not sound labored at all. He caught up to one of them in just a brief moment. The native fighter’s face dropped when Zayn caught up to him. He turned around and looked at Zayn as if he was looking at the Grim Reaper, and his expression was filled with despair. In fact, he
Zayn smiled. Given how fast he had improved, he did not find Bjorn’s shock surprising at all. Any sane person would be shocked or even terrified.In reality, he would not be improving at such an amazing speed if he had remained on Earth. It was all mainly thanks to the effects that training in Shangri-la had had on his body. He was improving rapidly almost every day. Soon, he shifted his gaze to the remaining native powerhouse. The last one was the leader of the five and also the most powerful.The native warrior immediately trembled and his face turned pale when Zayn looked at him. He turned around and ran without the slightest hesitation, losing all intentions of fighting Zayn. He exerted every ounce of strength he had to run as far as he could. He was terrified and regretted his actions very much. He would not have gone against Zayn had he known how powerful Zayn was. Zayn did not find the incident surprising because it had already happened to him a few times after he ar
No, he should say that Zayn was even more powerful than Paxton!If someone were to claim that Zayn was an invincibilis powerhouse, he would believe it. Indeed, the fact that he had yet to reach invincibilis was the most terrifying part. Moreover, he took a peek earlier and noticed that Zayn had already acquired six fruits!How could he have acquired so many? It had been so long since he arrived in Shangri-la yet he had only managed to find one fruit, and he had struggled just for that!If Zayn were to consume those six fruits, he would certainly be able to reach the invincibilis state right away. On the other hand, Zayn was already so incredibly powerful when he was still half a step away from the invincibilis state, Bjorn could not imagine how powerful he could be when he finally reached the next step. At last, they left the fortified city. Bjorn could not help but ask, “Zayn, have you already acquired six fruits?“Hmm.” Zayn nodded nonchalantly without any intention of hidi
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and all of Shangri-la turned extremely restless in that time.The remaining supreme powerhouses used everything they had in search of the fruits. Meanwhile, Shangri-la’s Fruit List on Earth was constantly changing as well!Even so, Zayn never fell from his position at the top of the list.Many people were already used to seeing his name and already acknowledged Zayn’s capabilities. Besides his earlier success when he obtained two fruits before Zayn acquired three, King never managed to surpass Zayn again.They watched as Zayn’s number of fruits increased. They were quite shocked at the beginning , but they grew used to it eventually.At that point, Zayn’s number on the list was eight already!Eight fruits!How would they make sense of it? Even the powerhouses who visited Shangri-la in the past had not acquired that many, had they?They remembered that the highest record in the past was seven fruits and it was set by Regicide Heofon’
There were many experienced veterans in hiding whose interest had been piqued.They found it shocking that Zayn was still continuing his search for more fruits after acquiring eight!It changed the perceptions of those who visited Shangri-la in the past even more. Given their experience with them in Shangri-la, they knew how strange the fruits were. The vast majority of them had only managed to obtain two fruits, and they could not keep themselves from consuming them after finding the third. On the other hand, Zayn had actually managed to acquire eight. This signified that his willpower was much stronger than theirs!They had a hard time accepting that. In fact, they were jealous of Zayn, and they hoped he would die from the side effects immediately. Otherwise, they would be embarrassed if Zayn consumed ten fruits successfully and became the most powerful person in the world. Meanwhile, King Erik had acquired his seventh fruit. He also chose not to consume any and continue
Back on his home planet, Bjorn breathed Earth’s air. He sensed the familiar surroundings and gravitational force. It was as if he had been reborn. In truth, it had not been long since he entered Shangri-la, but it felt like he had been gone for ages. All that he experienced there left a profound impression on his mind, and he was sure he would never forget it for the rest of his life!He remembered Zayn’s terrifying abilities very well. He admired and respected the man more than anything else, but he also felt deeply inferior.He was once a very proud and arrogant man. He had assumed that he had the most potential and would become the most powerful man in the world with time. Instead, he had abandoned such beliefs!Zayn was like a slap in his face. Meeting him showed Bjorn that no matter how perfect things seemed, there was always something, or someone, better.Compared to Zayn, he was nothing but an amateur. They were on two completely different levels!He cracked a smile w
Next, Bjorn swiftly narrated the incidents that took place in Shangri-la to Paxton. He talked about how nothing dangerous happened in the first week and how the natives from some tribes he encountered were not so powerful. In the second week, he walked out of the forest and arrived at the area around a fortified city. It was there that he encountered native warriors who were as strong as fighters half a step away from the invincibilis state. The native powerhouses attacked him, and if not for his quick reaction and superior fighting skills, they would have killed him.Paxton was astonished to hear that and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect that Shangri-la could have powerhouses half a step away from the invincibilis state after all these years. That’s impressive! When the people of our generation entered Shangri-la, it was very rare to encounter master fighters there.”Bjorn replied emotionally, “Yes. The natives there have already begun to become civilized, and they’re learning about
