Child of Destiny - Chapter 1957: The Might of the Grandmaster
Chapter 1957: The Might of the Grandmaster
……
Boom! Boom!
Roar!
The battle between the two elders was very stunning. It was devastating and amazing at the same time.
The kids from the academy were also unable to keep their eyes away from the battle. For most of them, this was their first time seeing a battle of this scale. Both the elders were a step away from reaching the pinnacle realms of their respective powers and disciplines, so the level of this battle was something beyond their imagination.
This would also greatly help those who are from similar disciplines. There were quite a few mentalists within the group, so watching Grandmaster Benn fight would greatly help them in their pursuit of reaching the highest level of Mentalism Path, which was the Exalted Realm.
The Mentalism Methods that they majored in might be different from what Grandmaster Benn mastered; the insights that they could get from seeing him fight were something that would greatly enhance their understanding of the path that they were taking.
There was also Benedict, who could gain quite a lot just by watching these two elders fight. As a mentalist, he would gain a lot from watching Grandmaster Benn. But as someone who majored in space-elemental abilities, he could also gain as much by observing and studying how Elder Zhi fought.
The Mentalism Method that Grandmaster Benn mastered could be said among the very top of those below the Exalted Realm, while the Spatial Abilities of Elder Zhi would be, without a doubt, among the peak, given that he was from the Void Tribe.
Aside from him, the other person who could benefit the most from watching this battle would be Shin.
As the personal student and successor of Grandmaster Benn in the path of Mentalism, Shin had inherited almost all of the techniques and other abilities that this old monster possessed, especially when the current Mentalism Method that Grandmaster Benn was showing was the method that he also inherited.
Moreover, this Mentalism Method, the Four Symbol Scripture, was further perfected by Shin with the help of the insights that he had gained from the Jade Kirin Scripture, which was something that his parents had created.
At this moment, Grandmaster Benn was showing them the peak of this Mentalism Method.
…
Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Roar! Roar!
The two elders barely moved from their respective positions. They remained standing on their respective spots in the air, while continuously showcasing their respective powers.
Elder Zhi was showcasing the pinnacle of Space Manipulation. The space around him was constantly fluctuating whenever he willed them to move.
He cleverly used the Space Solidification. He was freezing the space with it to restrict the movements of his opponent and all the techniques that were trying to enter it.
He could also use this ability to create barriers or spatial walls that could block the attacks from his opponent.
Coupled with Spatial Manipulation, he was able to prevent most of the attacks from reaching him. He seemed to be able to create a void that had an infinite space that made the attacks infinitely close from reaching him, but could never truly touch him.
He could also summon massive constructs with this ability of solidifying the space, which he mostly used as his means of attack.
He sometimes used these spatial constructs along with teleportation techniques when sending them to attack Grandmaster Benn.
At times, these constructs also carried the ability to collapse space, which greatly disrupted the space whenever they attacked.
The other means of attack that Elder Zhi used was the Space Shredding, which could destroy most forms of defense. It was a form of attack that could not be defended against by regular means of defense.
He was even matching these types of Spatial Slashes that could cut through anything on its patch. The pairing of these two abilities could get through any type of defense.
With all these means, it was clear to see how scary the Voidwalkers from the Void Tribes were.
However, Grandmaster Benn was not an ordinary opponent either. He was a very strong Mentalist on his own right.
His utilization of Mentalism Runes and Arrays was so strong that he managed to change the minds of the others about this Mentalism Method.
Grandmaster Benn had incorporated his understanding of runes and arrays into his methods of fighting. He could even inscribe in the air, which was extremely hard and quite inefficient for most of the Mentalists.
Such an ability was only possible for Exalted Realm Mentalists since these methods could greatly burden one’s mind during the execution.
He had truly created a powerful Mentalism Method that most people thought was impossible for those from the Exalted Realm.
Moreover, he had also created his version of mentalism constructs under the effects of the five grand formations that he had created through this Mentalism Method.
These five constructs took the form of five divine beasts – a white tiger, an azure dragon, a vermillion bird, a black tortoise, and a yellow dragon.
These divine beast constructs were different from regular ones as well, since they were capable of fighting on their own, using different kinds of abilities and executing all kinds of Mentalism Techniques.
Most of these techniques were even the more advanced versions that Shin had mastered.
But that was not the most surprising of them all. What made the others’ minds blow up was a whole other matter.
Each divine beast did not only represent five elemental powers, but also five different authorities unique to them.
It was common knowledge that Mentalists only possessed a single Authority, which was equivalent to the Domains of Domain Realm Martial Artists and Sword Field of Sword Saints.
However, the thing that everyone thought impossible was right before their eyes.
The white tiger, which possessed the powers of gold and metal, wielded the Authority of Slaughter and Destruction. It had very powerful offensive capabilities, which also took the lead when attacking.
The azure dragon had the powers of wood while wielding the Authority of Storm, which gave it the ability to control the wind and thunderbolts. It possessed an unparalleled speed while also possessing a strong ability to restrict the opposition with its control abilities provided by the three elements it wielded.
The vermillion bird controlled the power of fire while also ruling the Authority of Life and Death. Its fire was not an ordinary fire as well, since they seemed to be able to burn anything that it touched while also possessing the ability to heal or wither its target.
The black tortoise commanded the powers of ice and water while reigning over the Authority of Mirage that manipulated the rules of reality. Its ability to create illusions was no weaker than those of mentalists wielding similar authorities, while also having a strong ability to defend against most of the attacks, on top of having a few means to attack with its control over ice and water elements.
Then there was the yellow dragon that completed the link connecting all the grand formations. It was something that Grandmaster Benn had recently created after studying the new achievements and insights that Shin had gained after perfecting the Four Symbol Scripture.
This divine beast mastered the power of Earth Element while also overseeing the Authority of Domination.
As the link connecting the grand formations, it possessed very strong abilities. With the element of earth, its defensive capabilities were no weaker than the black tortoise.
It could also summon strong earth constructs that could be used to attack its enemies through it. Even though its offensive capabilities were not as strong as the white tiger, it was still strong enough to affect the battlefield.
It also possessed a strong controlling ability by controlling the gravity and manipulating the earth, shifting the battlefield.
With all these, they looked like a group of Venerable Realm Mentalists of massive sizes. Moreover, they fought with seamless coordination, making it harder for the others to fight back.
It was a wonder how Grandmaster Benn managed to create such a Mentalism Method that was supposed to be impossible for everyone else.
Forget about the rune inscription in the air since it was still achievable to a certain extent. However, the five divine beast constructs created by the grand formations having five different Authorities were something meant to be impossible.
This made people wonder what kind of Authority Grandmaster Benn possessed.
However, despite all these, the battle was not as one-sided as everyone thought it to be.
Elder Zhi was still able to hold his ground despite how powerful and absurd the Mentalism Method Grandmaster had created.
The two were still almost on an equal footing up until now.
Even if Elder Zhi was a bit behind in certain areas and somewhat losing, he was still able to keep up with the pace of the battle, matching all the advances that Grandmaster Benn made.
This proved how powerful a Voidwalker was, particularly the ones from the Void Tribe.
Elder Zhi could not help but squint his eyes after experiencing the might of a master from the Elder’s Council. He now understood why everyone was wary of its members. If all members of the council were on this level, then it was not that hard to imagine how scary they were together.
Understanding his current position, Elder Zhi decided to finally make his move. It was time to showcase the other abilities of the Void Tribe.
Bang!
The space seemed to have collapsed when he took a step forward.
Seeing his action, Grandmaster Benn squinted his eyes a little but did not make any move yet. Instead, he casually ordered the five divine beast constructs to adjust their battle formation in response.
He was quite curious what this Voidwalker Elder was planning to do now.
