Chapter 44 The Dignity of Immortals

Luolanshan Waterfall.

After the rain, the mountain streams converged, increasing the flow and cascading down from a height of over 100 meters, crashing against the rocks at the foot of the mountain. The sound was like thunder, with water splashing densely and mist rising and spreading.

After observing Tai'an from afar, I confirmed that it was indeed a blessed place for spiritual practice, and I planned to spend the rest of the night there.

He put away his clothes one by one, leaving only a pair of shorts, and walked barefoot on the water, slowly approaching the confluence of the water and the ground.

The magnificent and vast power of nature is like the endless descent of the Milky Way.

The boy couldn't help but open his arms, feeling the force of the water, and stepped deeper into the waterfall. He found a rocky platform, leaped onto it, and sat cross-legged, entering a state of internal energy cultivation.

As I gradually adjusted to the noisy water, I felt an unexpected peace within myself, and my dormant thoughts began to stir.

He seemed to have done some unnecessary things today, but he didn't regret it.

The Ice Wolf Clan were people promised protection by the Northern Lord. As the heir to the Blue Rose Earldom, he had every reason to intervene. To stand by and watch them die would be a difficult thought to bear.

Tai'an chose to act in accordance with its own conscience.

Of course, to avoid trouble, it is necessary to conceal one's identity before taking any action.

Thus, the disguise for Lord Dawn came into being.

time flies.

Unbeknownst to them, their ethereal beauty faded.

The cascading water continued to crash against his body, the immense pressure a stark contrast to the previous ease.

Tai'an did not continue into immortal form, but instead tried to use buff spells.

The most common and widely known Bear's Power increases the target's strength by 20% to 50%. The stronger the target, the smaller the increase.

The glow of the buff spell shone brightly, and the pressure from the water flow on my body immediately lessened.

The key is whether states can be superimposed.

Tai'an attempted to re-enter the human-immortal state. The moment his body was filled with demonic energy, a delicate balance was formed between the two states.

However, the balance was broken the next second. The buff from Bear's Power was completely replaced.

"It won't work? No, it should be feasible..."

He silently recalled the brief period during which the two states coexisted.

Exit the immortal form and try again.

In the distance, a faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Tai'an tried repeatedly without success, then suddenly sensed movement from the outside world.

A middle-aged man with bulging muscles all over his body, skin covered in scars and wounds, and gray hair strode across the water, exuding an unparalleled aura of dominance.

"Hey, young man, this is my place."

"This is unclaimed land, first come, first served. Come back tomorrow..."

"That makes sense. But you need to understand one thing: the world is a dog-eat-dog world. The weak submit to the strong. Since you're so confident, let's have a go..."

"I refuse."

"Refusal is invalid."

The white-haired man leaped towards the waterfall, while Tai'an jumped from the rocky platform. The two chased each other out of the waterfall, stood on the water, and looked at each other.

"You seem to be a child? How old are you?" The white-haired man looked around, trying to find the parent hiding in the shadows.

"23 years old!" Tai'an added ten years to his age without thinking.

"Nonsense, I'll gouge your eyes out and eat them if you're fifteen." The white-haired uncle scoffed, making an absolute judgment based on the boy's voice and height.

A teenager's voice typically changes between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, gradually becoming deeper, and they may grow facial hair and lose their baby fat.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight!" Tai'an hates men who talk big.

"Come on, little one, let me teach you about the dangers of the world!" The white-haired uncle tried to throw a punch.

The boy raised his hands to block and parry, but the immense force forced him to retreat several meters on the water's surface.

"Whose kid are you?" The white-haired man looked interested. "You're not bad! You can withstand half of my punch; you're stronger than all the good-for-nothings I know!"

"My turn!"

Tai'an leaped and charged forward, his fists and feet flying like the wind, striking the white-haired uncle's body wildly.

"Not bad, those little fists are pretty strong!"

"Faster! I love mentoring newcomers..."

"Young man, your moves aren't very good; you can't hit me."

The white-haired man chattered on and on while skillfully dodging the attacks, his expression relaxed and content.

Seemingly feeling that this wasn't insulting enough, he simply stood still, neither dodging nor blocking, letting the other strike his hardened body, which was burning with pale blue flames.

His battle aura seemed to be alive, constantly adjusting itself to greatly weaken the opponent's attack power.

"Excellent, excellent! The pressure is just right..."

"Hey kid, want to be my godson? I guarantee you'll get your share of benefits..."

The boy roared and cast a buff spell on himself, catching his opponent off guard and causing them to stumble.

The white-haired man was swept up by the battle aura and rolled around on the water. He hurriedly pushed himself up and stood up, his face slightly embarrassed.

For someone of his status to be defeated by a child would be a laughing stock among his old friends.

"So you haven't used your full strength yet! I was careless..."

The white-haired man frowned, becoming slightly more serious, emanating a suppressed aura. He flashed forward, facing the punch head-on without holding back!

This person wasn't lying; he really did only use half his strength just now.

Tai'an struggled to defend himself, and decided to hold back no longer, frantically absorbing magic energy to fill his body.

Thirty seconds left in the countdown.

"What a rare talent! I admit you have super-level strength, you are a powerful figure, but unfortunately you've met me..."

"Water flow breaks rocks!"

The white-haired uncle's hands moved in graceful arcs through the air, launching attacks from all sorts of incredible angles and easily bypassing the boy's defenses.

In less than five seconds, it hit dozens of times.

Physical superiority and overwhelming technical skill.

Tai'an floated on the water, unable to move.

The outcome of the match is already decided.

The white-haired man exclaimed with delight, "It feels so good to train a young genius! Today really is my lucky day..."

"Do you know any other friends you could bring along? We could practice together."

"Don't be so unconvinced. Just look at your skin; it's so smooth, it's even smoother than my wife's... no, even smoother than my daughter's..."

"Young man, you need more practice and experience more setbacks. You're still too green, hahaha..."

Thinking himself the victor, he struck a mocking pose, only to see the boy slowly rise from the water.

The bruises all over his body faded at a visible speed, and his skin regained its flawless and fair appearance.

Tai'an turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Tch, you got careless! You try taking one of my punches."

Before the white-haired uncle could agree, the young boy appeared silently in front of him and threw a simple, ordinary punch without any sign of fluctuation in his qi or blood.

Deyulan, however, deeply sensed the impending terror and unleashed his battle aura to its limit, pushing his force-dissipating techniques to the extreme!

The next second, the world turned upside down.
