Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 449 The Cowardly Little Pony - Keldeo.

Delacion, who was standing nearby, was also startled.

Biligion seemed to have anticipated all of this, and stood by with an air of enjoying the spectacle.

The two old friends must have been shocked, right?

When He first encountered this human, His reaction was not much different from Delacion's now.

It was both strange and shocking.

How could a mere human being be covered in divine marks?
This mystery intrigued even him, a god, and he couldn't explain it.

The scene shifts, and the three Saints are pulled into the mental world.

"Goblin, Terrakion, Virizion," Groudon called out the names of the three Saints in a deep voice.

The most taciturn, yet also the most composed, Terakkion stepped forward and asked, "Groudon? What do you want?"

Terakion is not afraid of Groudon at all.

Although He could not defeat Groudon and was not of a higher rank than Groudon, He was not afraid.

Cobalion and Virizion silently stood beside Terrakion, demonstrating through their actions that the three Saints would stand together.

Groudon frowned slightly. These three fellows were so disrespectful and ignorant, showing no respect whatsoever for Him, the supreme god.

However, after spending some time with Talebages, Groudon, whose temper had improved considerably, didn't get angry.

If it were a year ago, these three guys would have been locked up in the Earth's core for tens of thousands of years.

"Our existence must not be known to that human outside," Groudon said coldly.

After a moment of silence, Delacion nodded and said, "No problem."

The three Saints already had their own small group. Although they were curious about what happened to Lu Li, they didn't covet anything.

I never thought about joining them, since they already had their own small group.

Groudon nodded in satisfaction, then kicked the three gods out of the mind world.

Once his mind returned to the real world, Virigion quickly came to his senses, and Gopaloon nonchalantly asked, "So what do you think we're here for?"

“If I’ve guessed what the three of you are up to, I’d like to ask for an identity for the trainer of the Martial Arts Bear Master,” Lu Li said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Seeing that this human dared to challenge them to a bet, the three Saints also became interested.

"Then what is our other purpose in coming here?" Gopaloo asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're here to celebrate and then spar with the martial arts masters, right?" Lu Li said confidently, looking at the three sacred beasts.

These fighting-type creatures, whether gods or mythical beasts, are all somewhat battle maniacs.

When the three Saints arrive, besides offering congratulations, all that's left is to spar.

After hearing this answer, the three Saints exchanged glances, and then Virizion smiled and admitted, "You guessed right. Tell me, what kind of identity do you want for this little guy?"

Biligion glanced at Wei beside him, then looked at Lu Li with curiosity.

How about the trainers who are the inheritors of the Saint Seiya legacy?

Lu Li stated his requirements.

Upon hearing this, the three Saints' pupils contracted.

"How did you know?" Biligion asked in a low voice.

The so-called Way of Saint Seiya is actually based on courage as its underlying principle.

The rules of courage are giving birth to a fourth god, who will also be the strongest god.

They named it Keldeo.

Keldeo was created by their joint efforts to bring the rules to fruition ahead of schedule. Because of this, Keldeo is like a premature baby, with its soul and body not quite in harmony.

Simply put, it's a rule that the physical body is insufficient to bear the essence of courage.

To address this weakness, Keldeo must be made aware of its shortcomings and undergo rigorous training.

It means having the courage to face all difficulties head-on, and to get back up even after falling down.

But Keldeo was too young, and they never dared to let him go out and explore.

But the newly born gods, full of curiosity about the world, do not necessarily find joy when they go to the mortal realm; they are more likely to suffer disasters.

Therefore, they have always forbidden Keldeo from leaving the Saint Seiya Secret Realm.

Normally, no other deity should know this news, let alone humans.

But Lu Li has now revealed this matter.

Then the problem is coming.

How did Lu Li find out?
The first suspect the three Saints suspected was the perennial scapegoat, Taleborg.

But they had just seen Talebagoras in the spiritual world, and he looked so half-dead that he didn't seem to have the ability to interfere with fate.

"this matter……"

Biligion's first reaction was to refuse.

After all, Keldeo is a god, and even more likely than them to be promoted to a second-level god.

They had high hopes for Keldeo, so how could they let humans teach him?

Just as Virigion was about to refuse, the most composed Terakion suddenly said, "We need to consider this matter."

After Terakion finished speaking, he ignored the astonished Virizion and said to himself, "Let's prove it. Let Urshifu prove that His trainer is qualified to be Keldeo's guide."

Upon hearing this, Martial Arts Master Xiong instantly looked eager to try.

As a fighting deity, He is also a belligerent individual.

Being able to spar with the gods is a wonderful thing!

Lu Li did not reply, but looked at Wei beside him.

"I... how about you go? I think you might be more qualified than me to become..."

Fearing she might disappoint Wei, who was working so hard and hoping for the best, she hesitated to agree immediately.

After all, that was a god.

Wei didn't want Lu Li to miss out on a god because of her incompetence.

"It's settled then. I believe you, and... Wei, you need to step up!" Lu Li abruptly interrupted the hesitant Wei, then encouraged her:
"You are now a God Trainer, a being at the pinnacle of humanity. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in Martial Arts Urshifu, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei couldn't help but look at the martial arts master Xiong beside her.

When Wei met the fierce eyes of Martial Arts Master Xiong, she felt an instant surge of confidence.

“Alright!” Wei nodded heavily, accepting the challenge from the three Saints.

"Then come with me."

After Derakion finished speaking, he summoned the entrance to the secret realm and went inside.

Wei and Lu Li followed closely behind, neither of them worried about whether there were any traps along the way, after all, the reputation of the Three Saints had been passed down through countless eras in human society.

Upon entering the secret realm, Lu Li discovered that it was only a medium-sized secret realm, and one that was already "dead".

What is a dead secret realm? It means that there is no life in this secret realm. The life here refers not only to elves, but also to plants, and even microorganisms such as viruses.

The entire secret realm is composed of countless huge rock platforms, most of which float in mid-air, just like the legendary sky islands.

"This is a special arena we created so that we can fight here at our own pace," Delacion explained from the side.

Lu Li exclaimed sincerely, "What a grand gesture! You've created such a large secret realm specifically for the battle. You're really generous!"

Biligion remained noncommittal.

For them, creating a secret realm specifically for battle was not a difficult task, nor was it something to boast about in the past.

Gopaloon chose to sneak away, and while Terakion was still explaining the situation of the secret realm, He jumped onto another huge rock platform.

"The rules of the game state that you cannot use the full power of the rules, nor can you destroy the secret realm."

"Newly born God of Martial Arts, come forth!"

Gopaloo invited him with great enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, the martial arts master, who had been eager to get started, immediately grabbed Wei and jumped to the opposite side of Gopaloo.

"Wei, cheer up."

"This is our first battle after our evolution, and also our first battle against a god. We must not lose face," the Martial Arts Bear Master encouraged.

Wei nodded heavily.

The friendly match between the gods thus began.

Gopaleon let out a long and intimidating hiss, its earthy yellow light flashing briefly before launching its attack.

Lu Li, who was watching the battle, twitched his lips slightly after seeing this scene.

It's safe to say that this guy is a god with extremely rich combat experience; he's quite good at sneaking away.

Gopaleon appeared to have only made one cry, but it actually unleashed two skills in quick succession.

These are strengthening one's own self-motivation and weakening the opponent's shouts.

Both Wei and Martial Arts Master suffered from a lack of combat experience, and were caught off guard from the very beginning.

Gopaloon stomped its four hooves on the ground, transforming into a blue flash, its sharp horn ablaze with dazzling white light—the Holy Sword! This strike contained the power of judgment and penetration, piercing straight at the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Although Vi was frustrated by being outmaneuvered, she didn't lose her fighting rhythm.

"See through it, and then, the swirling eddy!" Wei calmly commanded.

The martial arts master's crimson eyes flashed with a sharp light, and just as Gopaloo was about to hit him, he slid to the side and dodged by a hair's breadth.

Martial Arts Master Bear's arms swung wildly, and his continuous fists formed a huge vortex that swept up Gopaloo who had charged too far!
The force of the water flow not only caused damage, but also successfully reduced Gopaloon's speed.

Gopaloon struggled to jump out of the vortex, his steps slightly hurried. Realizing that his advantage of sneaking out had been weakened, he immediately changed his strategy.

Gopaleon raised its head high, and powerful energy gathered in its mouth, transforming into an incomparably scorching flame that shot into the sky. Then, countless flaming energy boulders crashed down on the Martial Arts Bear Master like a meteor shower—a combination of rock blasting and fire!
"Shoot them down! Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist!" Wei looked at this move, which seemed to be about to collapse the sky and the earth, without the slightest anxiety, still looking confident.

The Martial Arts Bear Master showed no fear either. After taking a deep breath, it gathered deep blue fighting energy on its fists.

That was the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist optimized by Martial Arts Master Xiong, and it was also the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist that belonged exclusively to Him.

Martial Arts Master Xiong leaped into the air like a ghost, dodging and weaving through the air. His fists created countless afterimages, each punch precisely shattering a piece of flaming meteorite. The explosions and black energy fragments burst forth in the air like a grand fireworks display, yet not a single piece landed on the platform.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gopal's eyes, but more so his competitive spirit was ignited.

He gathered his power once more and unleashed the Ironhead Holy Sword. His metal head gleamed with an unparalleled hardness, and his horns transformed into sharp swords.

He chose to decide the outcome with the most direct clash of forces, charging towards the martial arts bear master who had just landed like a cannonball.

Wei's lips curled into a confident smile. A head-on clash? Does he even know what the "Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist" is?

It's not about hitting the bullseye once, it's about winning continuously!
"Now! Finish Him—Water Burst Fist!"

Based on the Water-Shattering Rock Fist, it combines the continuous water-flow strikes with the explosive power of the Explosive Fist.

The Martial Arts Bear Master's attack is almost at the level of a second-level divine beast.

Without applying the rules, what can Cobalion use to block?

Master Xiong of Martial Arts assumed the starting stance of the Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist, with the water energy around his body perfectly integrated with his fighting spirit, surging and surging.

The first punch landed heavily on Gopaloon's holy sword, causing the water to explode!

The second punch, faster and more powerful, struck Gopaloon's jaw.

Gopaloon tossed his head back, feeling as if his brain had been flung out of his body.

The third punch, the fourth punch... the speed of the punches was too fast for the naked eye to catch!
Each strike contained penetrating fighting energy and surging water-attribute energy, perfectly hitting Cobalion's weakness.

The final uppercut, gathering all the power of the combo, exploded outwards!
"boom!!"

Gopaleon was sent flying by the final blow, crashing heavily onto the edge of the rocky platform. The red light in his eyes dimmed, and after struggling for a few moments, he was unable to stand up.

Gopaleon knew he had lost, lost to this newly born god.

It's unbelievable, but that's just how absurd reality is.

"Martial arts are indeed adept at fighting," Gopaloo sighed inwardly.

After healing his injuries using the rules of the land, Cobalion stood up as if nothing had happened.

This is the bug that gods have: if they want, even if their bodies are vaporized, they can use the power of the rules to restore themselves at any time.

Despite losing, Gopaleon's eyes showed no resentment, but rather a hint of recognition of his powerful opponent.

Martial Arts Master Xiong also slowly withdrew from his stance.

Although the fight only lasted a few rounds, it was really fun!

Most importantly, Gopaloo is incredibly durable.

If it were any other mythical beast, it probably wouldn't have been able to get up, and its head might have even been smashed.

"Alright, it's my turn."

Terakion quickly jumped to the opposite side of the martial arts bear master. Although he was a little annoyed that Copalon had sneaked away, it wasn't without its benefits.

At least it helped Him understand Martial Arts Master Bear better.

The most unique aspect of Martial Arts Bear Master lies in its continuity, perfectly connecting skills and attributes.

The Martial Arts Bear Master also mobilized the power of the rules to recover from his previous exhaustion, and then solemnly looked at Gopaloon opposite him.

This team has a slight advantage in terms of direct attributes, but their abilities have probably already been revealed, but there shouldn't be any major problems.

Martial Arts Master Xiong thought to himself.

Wei thought so too.

As a Fighting-type trainer, he was familiar with the attributes of the three Saint Seiya.

…………

In the spiritual world.

Groudon, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, commented, "This kind of restrained battle doesn't seem very interesting. I want to see the world crumble!"

"I do think that Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist is quite interesting; it almost pushes the limits in terms of the use of power and the connection of skills," Talebagos commented.
