Shale's punch was scary, but Han Sen didn't try to dodge it. His left hand, which could still move, turned into a fist to meet the incoming attack.
"Why do you have to do this?
Losing is better than dying. "The Fox woman sighed from afar.
The Bai Sema wasn't far behind Han Sen. He could teleport away before the punch hit him. That seemed to be his only option, but he didn't. He continued to fight with his broken body.
But in his current state, he couldn't block Shale's punch.
"Kill him!" Liyu Zhen excitedly clenched his fists. His eyes were red, and he almost shouted.
Li Xue Cheng looked the same. They knew there wouldn't be any more surprises this time. They were going to win the bet.
With Han Sen's current state, if he took that punch, there were only two outcomes. He would either die or be crippled. No matter what the outcome was, Han Sen couldn't keep fighting. No one could stop Shale from taking first place in the silkworm bouts.
Pang!
Han Sen's fist hit that scary fist power. The armor that protected his fist and arm shattered. Han Sen's entire body was sent flying. As he flew, the Spell armor he was wearing scattered like butterflies.
"It's over!" Open Sky Elder sighed for his Open Sky Orb.
Exquisite and Li Keer's faces changed. Han Sen hadn't given up, and he kept telling them he could keep fighting. But his self-geno armor was broken, and Han Sen was severely injured. It would be lucky if he was still alive. There was no way he could keep fighting.
They just hoped that Han Sen hadn't been killed by the punch. Exquisite almost teleported into the Bai Sema to save him.
Many of the Very High elites who had placed bets on Han Sen to win first place were speechless. Han Sen had tried his best, but the difference between a King class and a deified was too big. Shale was too strong, so they couldn't blame Han Sen for losing. But when they thought about what they had lost, they couldn't help but feel their hearts bleed.
Only Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng were so excited that they almost jumped up and hugged each other.
After this battle, they had won everything. The resources they had obtained would be enough for them to reach the butterfly class in the future. Not to mention, there were also several priceless treasures.
Bang!
Han Sen's body hit the Bai Sema again. Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng were ready to clap and celebrate, but they suddenly froze.
It wasn't just them. Everyone was stunned. After Han Sen's body hit the barrier, he didn't fall. He just floated there.
His damaged body was emitting a strange fluctuation invisible to the naked eye. His entire body seemed to be shrouded in a hazy white light.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn't a white light. It was a white powder that looked like dust. The white powder was quickly gathering on Han Sen's body.
In the blink of an eye, Han Sen's body was wrapped up by the white armor again. The broken Spell armor appeared on his body again, and it looked as good as new.
No, it was even stronger than before. The Spell armor's symbols were flashing, and it released a scary presence. Han Sen's entire body was covered in a holy light. It was like he was a God Spirit from a holy mountain.
"He became half-deified!"
Exquisite and Li Keer were the first to react. They could feel Han Sen's power explosively increase.
"He became half-deified at a time like this … This guy is so weird …" Many of the Very High who were watching the fight looked shocked.
It wasn't impossible to level up during a fight, but leveling up required power. It was like Shale's case. His body contained the power of the Demon Fruit, and he was strong enough. That was why he had been able to level up during a fight and become deified.
But Han Sen's body was broken, and his self-armor was broken. It didn't make sense for him to level up while his core was damaged.
But Han Sen had managed to become half-deified under such circumstances. Everyone was confused by what had happened.
"So what if he is half-deified?
Half-deified is still King class. He can't beat Shale, "Li Xue Cheng said, gnashing his teeth.
He didn't want to see this happen. He just wanted Shale to kill Han Sen quickly.
Shale looked at Han Sen, but he didn't attack like Li Xue Cheng wanted him to.
"You are such a shocking guy. You became half-deified under such circumstances," Shale said, looking at Han Sen.
"I was just lucky," Han Sen said with a smile.
Shale shook his head seriously. "There is no such thing as luck in this world. It's like the people who win the lottery. Everyone thinks they are lucky. But no matter how lucky they are, if they don't buy the ticket, they won't win."
Han Sen didn't say anything. He really hadn't relied on luck.
Before Shale punched him, Han Sen finally understood how to combine the nine tiers of The Story of Genes to become half-deified. That was why he took that punch. He used the power of that punch to destroy Spell's armor and rebuild it.
"But it is a shame. If you had become deified, then we could have won today," Shale said, sounding disappointed.
"We can still do it now. I told you before that our fight isn't over yet," Han Sen said coldly.
Shale shook his head and didn't say anything. He admitted that Han Sen was strong, but half-deified was still King class. There was a huge gap between them. He didn't think Han Sen had what it took to fight him.
"Brother Han, let's call it a day. Leave the Apollo Set with me for now. When you become deified, you can come and fight me. If you win, you can take the Apollo Set," Shale said after a moment of thought.
A good opponent was like a strong wine. If the wine wasn't old enough, it would be lacking in flavor. Shale wanted to wait until Han Sen became deified before fighting him.
But Han Sen didn't have the patience to wait until then. Seeing that Shale wasn't going to fight, he didn't say anything more. He used his hand like a knife and used Fang to slash at Shale.
Shale frowned. He decided to end this fight quickly. He gathered up his demonic power again and turned his fist into a demon lion. He rushed towards Han Sen.
Just like last time, Shale's fist power turned into a demon lion. It went straight into Han Sen's body. It wanted to demonize Han Sen's power and make it the same as Shale's.
"It doesn't matter how many times you do this. Han Sen doesn't understand that if his power becomes the same as Shale's, he will never be able to defeat Shale …" Li Xue Cheng didn't finish his sentence, but he suddenly stopped talking.
The demonic power went into Han Sen's body. Han Sen's power wasn't demonized like last time. The Teeth Knife he used was still a purple knife air. It wasn't affected by the demonic power.
