Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 211 Xia Fa, a battle technique that only gods can master, you actually mastered it?

The sea is vast and majestic, and the sun hangs high in the blue sky.

Occasionally, dolphins leap out of the water to chase schools of fish, creating a carefree and relaxed scene.

However, on the same sea surface, whether it was the pirate ship Chainsaw or a hundred meters above it, there was a terrifying silence.

No one spoke; everyone stared in awe at the two figures a hundred meters in the air.

It was a 3.9-meter-tall, ancient and ferocious silver-white metal humanoid, holding a sword upside down in one hand, like a god descending to earth, looking down on all living beings at sea.

There was also a domineering yet young, burly man with a head of wild, unruly spiky hair and exaggeratedly large mechanical arms, who was staring wide-eyed in disbelief, clutching his chest.

At this moment, the burly man with the giant mechanical arm had a horrifying and gruesome wound clearly visible. A deep knife wound ran almost from his chest to his lower abdomen, and the stark white bone and writhing internal organs were vaguely visible inside.

"Alexander... he actually lost?"

Captain Chainsaw Baker, seemingly unable to believe his eyes, rubbed them hard and looked again at the breathtakingly blue sky.
But they could still clearly see Alexander, who was almost split in two.

Although Alexander, as an angel, had long surpassed the level of mortal existence, his almost fatal wounds were completely healed on their own.

But no matter what, He still lost.

Caesar was unharmed... but Alexander was seriously wounded!

"Oh my god! I can't believe my eyes!"

Linglong gazed at the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with awe.

A so-called whale-level overlord actually defeated an angel-level overlord?
If I told anyone this, no one would believe me. They would just think it was a joke made up by an ordinary person who doesn't understand the supernatural world!

But now, this has actually happened, right before everyone's eyes!
Hyacinth was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She just stared blankly at the scene in the sky, even wondering if she was hallucinating because she had lost control.

As for the other pirates on the Chainsaw, they were all stunned and stood there, as if petrified, looking at the demonic silver-white metallic figure in the air with both shock and fear.

“Huh, huh.”

Xia Fa, holding his broadsword, breathed heavily, waiting for the burning sensation in every cell of his body to return.

He can barely move now; he can hardly even swing his sword again.

Just now, the slash he delivered from high above behind Alexander using "Star Silver Flash," and the other slash that shattered the thirty-odd magic-powered mechanical cannons, almost exhausted his supernatural power and the burning sensation in his cells.

Fortunately, the results were quite significant, and Alexander was seriously injured.

For some reason, even though Alexander could have attacked without waiting for his injuries to heal, he suddenly seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
Xia Fa took this opportunity to quickly replenish the extraordinary power within his body.

Where no one could see, a large chunk of the mountain dragon bear's flesh had already been secretly sucked into the opening in its abdomen.

Having exhausted his strength, Shaphat chose to remain still, feigning confidence and control to intimidate Alexander.

If we can use this to scare Alexander away, that would be the most convenient.

After all, Alexander is an angelic overlord. Although his physical body is severely injured, he can recover quickly, and then he will be truly difficult to deal with.

It's estimated that He still has many killer moves he hasn't used yet.

But suddenly, at that moment, Alexander's figure... mysteriously vanished from the spot!

The next moment, he suddenly appeared on the deck of the Chainsaw!
Xia Fa was startled and was about to force himself to react.

thump!
Alexander then knelt down on both knees, directly facing Xiafa high in the sky, his two huge mechanical arms bowing in a gesture that could only be described as worship.

"Big brother, you're too strong! Let's stop fighting. I'm completely convinced by you. From now on, I'll follow you!"

Xia Fa: ? ? ?
The crew of the Chainsaw: ? ? ?

what's the situation?
How could this young master of the Myriad Machines School, an arrogant and domineering angel-level overlord, suddenly admit defeat and willingly submit?

That's such a quick change of expression!

Especially considering Alexander's initial domineering attitude in trying to force everyone off the ship, the people on the Chainsaw felt it was all too surreal.

Hyacinth and Linglong were completely stunned. They never expected that the seemingly ordinary Caesar would subdue Alexander, the angelic overlord, in one fell swoop!

That's an angel-level overlord! Even in their Cloth Bag Dynasty, they can be granted titles and ranks at will, and even become the Cloth Bag Monarch's confidants!

But now, He has been directly subdued by Caesar!

Seeing this, Xia Fa found it somewhat amusing, especially since his spiritual intuition had not triggered any danger warning.

This shows that Alexander truly has no intention of launching any attack now.

However, I only severely injured His body with one strike, and He was fully capable of recovering, so why did He immediately express His submission?
You must know that Alexander is the young master of the School of All Machines. If He so desires, several sovereigns can be dispatched in an instant to avenge Him!
Although for Xia Fa it was nothing more than using the legendary treasure "the face carved by a knife and axe" to change his appearance and identity, it was precisely for this reason that Alexander's sudden submission surprised him even more.

Just then, Alexander looked up, his face full of envy and admiration:

"Brother, how exactly did you master the battle techniques that only a true god like [First History] can wield? I'd be perfectly willing to accept defeat at your hands!"

[First History]?
[First History] What tactics have you mastered? What's going on?
Xia Fa was a little confused, but almost instantly, he made the connection.

"Could He be referring to the situation where my mental storm is entangled in the cleaver...?"

Although Alexander was speaking to Shaphat, as an angel, he naturally shielded the people on the Chainsaw from view with a thought.

Therefore, neither Captain Chainsaw Baker, nor Hyacinth, nor the other pirates could hear their conversation, nor dared to listen.

Seeing that Alexander's attitude was sincere and that he still had no intention of killing, Xiafa flipped his wrist, and his three-meter-long saber immediately glowed and shrank into a shark-tooth folding knife, which he then hid in his sleeve.

He landed on the deck, his eyes flickered, and he was about to speak.
But Alexander had already stood up, his face full of obsequiousness:
"Brother, I understand, I understand. Let's talk somewhere else."

Seeing how sensible Alexander was, Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle:
"Okay, I happen to have some questions to ask too."

Captain Chainsaw Baker and Hyacinth, along with the others, were already terrified and dared not make a move.

Xia Fa then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Alexander is no longer hostile. We just need a larger cabin to discuss some things."

Captain Chainsaw Baker, true to his years of experience at sea, mustered his courage upon hearing this, stepped forward, and looked up at the 3.9-meter-tall Shafa, or rather, Caesar.

"Lord Caesar, I...I will take you and Lord Alexander away right away. Rest assured, none of us on board will eavesdrop on a single word you say."

Upon hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but smile dismissively:
"You, a mere demigod who hasn't even signed a hegemon-level secret agreement? You couldn't possibly eavesdrop even if you tried your best."

When facing Xiafa, He displayed an extremely good attitude and high emotional intelligence, but when dealing with others, Alexander reverted to his arrogant and domineering personality.

Captain Chainsaw Baker could only force a smile, but he felt much more relaxed inside.

He was genuinely afraid that Alexander would kill everyone on the ship to prevent their conversation from being leaked.

In retrospect, Alexander, though domineering, was also outspoken and openly looked down on everyone, not believing they could overhear him.

But in that case, He would naturally not kill anyone, which put everyone at ease.

Everyone else on deck didn't dare to breathe, including the two cloth bag girls, Hyacinth and Linglong, who could only watch helplessly as Captain Chainsaw Baker led Shafa and Alexander down the gangway.

……

Before long, Captain Chainsaw Baker stood in front of a steel gate and reached out to pull it open.

"This is it, Lord Caesar, Lord Alexander. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll be there whenever you call."

Xia Fa smiled slightly:
"Thank you very much."

When he entered the cabin, he had already deactivated his "Starry Silver Throne" form and reverted to Caesar's tough-guy appearance.

As for Alexander, his exaggerated mechanical arms could actually activate the ability to "phantomize," which did not hinder him from walking in the narrow corridors inside the ship at all.

Captain Chainsaw Baker was flattered by Shafa's unexpected politeness and repeatedly said:
"No, no need to thank me. It is my honor to serve you two gentlemen. I will take my leave now."

He bent down, backed away, and quickly disappeared at the end of the dark corridor, never daring to raise his head again.

Alexander scoffed:
"This guy's got it."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xia Fa, bowed slightly, and his face was full of enthusiasm:

"Brother, please come in first. I'll take care of creating the enclosed space."

Seeing His sudden change of expression, Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and went inside first.

It was a reception room, quite spacious, with an oval table in the center surrounded by pear wood chairs with cushions and backrests.

Alexander immediately followed him in, casually closed the door, and then raised his hand to sprinkle a handful of gold dust.

Shadow Gold Powder, like Living Iron Powder, has the effect of creating enclosed spaces, but it is many times more powerful than Living Iron Powder.

Of course, the price is far beyond that of live iron powder. A can of gold powder the size of a water glass would cost hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, while the same weight of live iron powder would cost less than one hundred gold pounds.

Alexander's mechanical giant arm flashed, and for a moment time in the living room slowed down. The shadowy gold dust in the air also began to rotate along with the distortion of space, but then everything returned to normal.

"Alright, brother, please have a seat." Alexander, with a genuinely warm smile, pulled out the chair for the head of the conference table for Shafa.

This made Xia Fa a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile:
"You don't need to do that, let's just talk business."

Alexander shook his head vigorously:

"That won't do. Since you've decided to follow the big brother, you have to be prepared to be his underling!"

Seeing that He was very insistent, Shaphat had no choice but to sit down with a smile, and Alexander then sat down with satisfaction.

As soon as the two sat down, Alexander couldn't wait to say:

"Brother, are you the agent of the true god [First History]?"

Xia Fa shook his head:
"No, I believe in the [Silver Universe], and I am currently just an ordinary member of the Solar Prominence Nebula Squad."

Upon hearing this, Alexander immediately became excited:
"It seems the teacher was right! A legendary genius like my elder brother can indeed master the divine battle techniques passed down by the gods without a teacher!"

Seeing His sincere and earnest attitude, Xia Fa stopped hiding his intentions and immediately asked:

"What divine battle tactics? Is this what you mean?"

He swept his hand across the table, and a semi-transparent hard shell immediately covered the table, with disordered information flow inside, giving people a dizzying feeling at a glance.

Since that battle, he has been able to generate mental storms directly in his eyes and then unleash them from any part of his body.

The hard shell was extremely thin, yet it had an indestructible feel to it. Moreover, if one looked closely, one could see countless pieces of messy knowledge and useless information flowing around inside.

"This is it! This is it! The Pillar of Mind Storm! My God, I can't believe I'm witnessing this divine battle technique with my own eyes!"

Seeing that Shafa, despite having mastered the "Pillar of Thought Storm," seemed completely clueless, Alexander began to explain:
"Big brother, these are all secrets that the teacher told me. But since I've decided to follow you, I might as well tell you. Just don't tell anyone else."

"I'm sure you know, Brother, that the true god [First History] not only knows everything that has ever happened in the world, which is the power corresponding to the concept of 'First History' itself, but also possesses powers such as 'knowledge', 'information', and 'intelligence'."

"And the 'Pillar of Mindstorm' is a divine battle tactic developed by [First History] around the powers of 'knowledge,' 'information,' 'intelligence,' and so on!"

"The pillar of mental storm can not only erupt directly, thus filling the enemy's mind with a large amount of chaotic information and useless knowledge, bringing the enemy to the brink of losing control,"

"I can also be like my elder brother, wrapping my hand around treasures, weapons, fists, and even the body, turning the enemy's secret abilities into a useless torrent of knowledge, and then crushing them."

Xia Fa listened attentively, and gradually understood.

Therefore, the reason why I was able to easily break Alexander's magic mechanical cannon after wrapping the "pillar of thought storm" around the horse-slaying sword was because I turned the magic mechanical cannon into a useless torrent of knowledge.

No wonder that magical mechanical cannon suddenly solidified and then shattered.

Alexander, however, became more and more excited as he spoke:
"Big brother, so now you know how overpowered this divine battle technique you've mastered is, right? The closer a secret ability is to elementalization and energy transformation, the easier it is for you to convert it into a useless torrent of knowledge. You have a natural advantage over some superhumans with certain secret abilities!"

Xia Fa smiled at this moment:
"I see. Actually, I figured it out by accident. Thank you so much for explaining it to me. Now I finally understand."

He appeared calm on the surface, but was quite surprised inside.

Originally, Xia Fa thought that the "Pillar of Mind Storm" ability he had gained from the great suffering he had endured during his physical training was only equivalent to a secret technique in terms of power.

Unexpectedly, this "pillar of mental storm" was actually a divine battle technique!
All I can say is that it truly lives up to its reputation as a form of exercise... it brings me tremendous surprises every time.

In particular, the changes in the eyes brought about by physical exercise have not yet been fully completed.

After it's all done, will I be able to obtain other divine battle techniques?

Anyway, no one will complain about having too much of this stuff!

Of course, the changes in the eyes are quite slow, and Xia Fa speculates that it will probably require physical exercise to make progress.

Oh, and there's also knowledge related to divine battle tactics...

Seeing that Alexander, though somewhat arrogant and domineering, also appeared direct and sincere, Xia Fa also chose to be sincere.

"What exactly is this divine battle technique you're talking about? I've never heard of it before."

Alexander laughed heartily upon hearing this:
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, brother. My teacher only told me after I became an angel, even though I was His best student."

Xia Fa understood that the teacher Alexander mentioned was probably the chairman of the Myriad Machines School, who was almost one of the most powerful and influential figures on the entire planet Caligia.

Of course, this only applies to the planet Caligia. It cannot compare to Patriarch Osius of the Silver Church or Dictator, who stands at the pinnacle of the extraordinary monarchs.

Patriarch Osius and Dictator were figures of immense importance, comparable to those in the entire universe.

However, on the other hand, Patriarch Osius and Dictator frequently travel to the cosmos and even other inhabited planets. On Caligia alone, the Speaker of the School of Machines is a fairly reliable patron.

Xia Fa's thoughts only lingered for a moment before he continued to listen attentively as Alexander revealed this top-level intelligence.

"In our world, there are nine true gods, each of whom is a supreme being."

"And each of the nine righteous gods has developed its own unique divine combat techniques."

"It is said that, apart from [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown], the other true gods have only developed one divine combat technique."

"As for the two strongest beings among the true gods, [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Joker], they each possess three gates!"

Three gates?!
Xia Fa was slightly surprised. He could only say that the "Absolute Defense" was indeed worthy of being able to single-handedly hunt down and annihilate five Great Old Ones. It even had two more divine battle techniques than other righteous gods.

On the other hand, the god [Paradox Joker] is also quite extraordinary. Not only is he evenly matched with [Absolute Defense], but he also possesses just as many divine combat techniques!

Xia Fa even suspected that if the Paradox Joker had appeared earlier, those old rulers would have suffered even more.

Alexander continued, as if reciting a familiar story:

"Of course, among the nine righteous gods, there is also the righteous god served by the Church of Destiny, whose fate is still unknown to this day. No one knows how many divine battle techniques that one developed."

"Apart from the most mysterious righteous god, the divine battle techniques developed by the other eight righteous gods were all placed into the origin of the universe. Of course, the most mysterious righteous god may also have placed his own divine battle techniques into it."

Xia Fa's pupils contracted:
"The origin of the universe?"

Xia Fa thought he had long ago realized just how powerful the Nine Great Gods were, but now he realized he was still too naive.

The Nine Great Gods... can actually directly contact and influence the origin of the universe?

More importantly, they have become so powerful, yet they have been hiding in their respective earthly divine kingdoms for tens of thousands of years without coming out. What are they afraid of?
Composing himself, Xia Fa stopped thinking about it and continued listening to Alexander's explanation.

Alexander nodded:
"Yes, I was also shocked at the time. I never expected that the Nine Great Gods could actually access the origin of the universe. But because of this, according to my teacher, after the Nine Great Gods put their respective divine battle techniques into it, from then on..."

He took a deep breath, his tone suddenly filled with extreme envy, his eyes seeming to be veiled in a thin mist, behind which lay a heartfelt longing:
"...All the true geniuses in the universe have a certain probability of mastering divine combat techniques on their own!"

Xia Fa's heart stirred slightly, and he slowly nodded.

"I see……"

Alexander sighed softly:
"But then again, the probability is actually extremely small, so small that it's almost legendary, especially in the third ten thousand years of the universe. There have been almost no reports of anyone suddenly mastering divine combat techniques, except for the most monstrous beings in the earthly divine kingdoms."

He raised his head, looked at Xiafa, and his tone became increasingly sincere:
"So, big brother, you should know how much I envy you. The Silver Throne signatory plus the divine battle technique 'Pillar of Mind Storm' from the First History—I, an angel-level overlord, am defeated by you, a whale-level overlord. I am completely convinced."

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, wanting to tell Alexander that he was only at the Eagle level, three whole ranks below the Whale level.
But after thinking about it, I realized it was too shocking and too hurtful, so I decided not to say anything.

Alexander, however, suddenly became excited:

"If whale-level beings are this powerful, what will happen when you become a demigod, brother? From now on, I'll truly follow you!"

Seeing that He had once again pledged His loyalty, Xiafa couldn't help but smile and reply:
"Alright, since you've said that, you'll definitely get your share of food too!"

Having gathered all the necessary information, Xia Fa was about to ask Alexander what was going on, why, as the young master of the Myriad Machines School, he didn't even have a decent pirate ship and had to resort to robbery.

Suddenly, Alexander flipped his hand over and produced a lump of silver the size of a soybean.

Upon seeing the silver, Xia Fa's heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and the mystical living silver within his body suddenly accelerated, almost causing his blood to boil.

This was an almost instinctive reaction that Xia Fa couldn't control.

The silver, the size of a soybean, shimmered with an extremely dazzling luster, sparkling with crystalline light. Around it, illusory stars appeared and disappeared, as if it were a scene from the beginning of the universe, sacred and lofty, ancient and weathered.

Alexander looked up at Xia Fa with great sincerity and said solemnly:
"Brother, it's our first meeting. I don't have much to offer you, so please accept this piece of 'Pure White Light-Chasing Silver' as a small gift!"

Pure white, light-reflecting crystalline silver?!
Xia Fa was shocked. This was a sacred metal, just like the "Gold of Lamentation Hymn"!
Although, as a signatory to the Silver Throne, he can freely transform the mystical living silver within his body into extraordinary metals such as "Silver of Destiny," "Silver of Star Destruction," and "Red Silver."

However, it is completely impossible to transform the mystical living silver into the sacred metal "pure white light-seeking crystal silver".

Not only him, but it seems that even the righteous god [Absolute Defense], who also signed the supreme-level secret pact of the Silver Throne, could not achieve this.

Otherwise, the mythical legend of "Absolute Defense" venturing deep into various mysterious realms to collect pure white light-chasing silver would not have been left behind.

However, what surprised Xia Fa even more than the pure white light-traveling silver itself was...

Why does my own body react so strongly to pure white light-seeking silver?
The reaction was so intense that even with the pure white, light-seeking silver right in front of him, his heart was still pounding like a drum, and the flow of the mystical living silver in his veins was getting faster and faster.

It seemed that deep within his body and even his soul, he had developed a deep longing for this pure white, light-chasing crystalline silver!
Just then, Alexander smiled and said something that Xiafa never expected.

(End of this chapter)
