Chapter 1030
Yi Tianyun's words made Murong Xiao instinctively look to the side. He discovered that Elder Lou Yu was also looking over here, his eyes showing a few traces of interest.
It was obvious that she had a very good chance of being chosen. Even if she was eliminated, she still had a chance. After all, ranking in the top thirty was not a bad result, especially since she had great potential to be further developed and become even stronger.
“If I'm not chosen, you have to compensate me!” Murong Xiao said with a light laugh, wrinkling her nose at Yi Tianyun.
“How do you want me to compensate you?” Yi Tianyun replied with a smile.
Murong Xiao’s eyes twinkled as she smiled, “I haven't thought about that yet. Let’s talk about it when I'm not chosen!”
Yi Tianyun shook his head with a smile, saying nothing more. Soon, Earth Monarch Te Gu won the match, narrowly but convincingly, looking more authentic than reality.
The surrounding people started discussing Earth Monarch Te Gu, saying he almost lost, but in the end, he secured the win and entered the top fifteen.
“This match is over. After a three-day break, the next round will commence!” Elder Gou Huang nodded after seeing everyone had finished their battles.
Three days later, everyone had recovered their spirits.
“Next, it's the battle to determine the top ten!” Elder Gou Huang announced, and the remaining sixteen participants' eyes were filled with fervor. If they could enter the top ten, it meant they could join the Five Great Divine Realms no matter what.
Thus, this was the most crucial battle. After winning, they would enter the top eight. This meant they still had one more chance, even if they lost.
“Now, let's begin choosing opponents.” Elder Gou Huang tossed sixteen tokens into the air, which fell into their hands.
“Number seven.” Yi Tianyun looked at the token in his hand and then looked up. It wasn’t Earth Monarch Tianqing or Earth Monarch Te Gu, but someone else.
His opponent looked at him, eyes full of battle intent.
As they walked to the dueling arena and faced each other, his opponent said with a smile, “ Earth Monarch Tianyun, it’s my honor to face you in this match.”
“Why is it an honor? Because you can mimic my moves?” Yi Tianyun asked calmly. This was his first time facing this Earth Monarch, with no prior conflict.
However, he had observed this opponent before, Earth Monarch Mo Tong, who differed by only one character from Earth Monarch Youtong. But their abilities were worlds apart; Earth Monarch Mo Tong’s ability was primarily mimicry! Anything he saw could be mimicked.
He couldn’t replicate all abilities completely, but he could mimic at least eighty to ninety percent, which was extraordinary.
“Let me correct you; it’s not mimicry but extracting the essence!” Earth Monarch Mo Tong smiled slightly. He looked like a good person, but he would defeat his opponents in the most frustrating way.
He would learn and sell what he learned on the spot, mimicking the opponent’s proudest moves and then defeating them! As for whether he had original moves, he did. But he rarely used his original moves, as mimicking others was enough to beat them, giving him an additional trump card.
“Extracting the essence?” Yi Tianyun shook his head. Mimicking others’ moves, yet saying it so grandiosely, was truly shameless.
Of course, this wasn’t entirely shameless, as it was his talent—learning others’ moves just by watching them—an exceptional ability!
Although not very shameless, it was still irritating. For example, painstakingly learned martial arts or costly ones purchased for cultivation were easily mimicked by the opponent, and the frustration was imaginable.
He would learn everything, especially top-secret martial arts. This was the terrifying aspect of Earth Monarch Mo Tong, a super genius.
Indeed, the Divine Realms were full of countless geniuses, and Earth Monarch Mo Tong was one of them. He hadn’t shown his full strength from now on, effortlessly entering the top sixteen.
“In that case, let’s see if you can mimic all my abilities?” Yi Tianyun smiled, “See if you can mimic everything?”
“ Earth Monarch Tianyun, from your previous battles, it’s clear you rely on two points: power and speed. There are no special moves. But there’s one move I like, which is this one!”
Earth Monarch Mo Tong smiled, his body suddenly glowing black, and he transformed into a demonic god! He grew two to three times larger, surrounded by black flames, remarkably similar to Yi Tianyun’s transformation!
“Interesting.” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up, sizing up Earth Monarch Mo Tong. He could even mimic his transformation. He hadn’t even fought him yet and had already learned it.
Of course, his transformation was based on the effect of the equipment. This effect was a martial art type, so being learned wasn’t a big deal. But the true power was in the equipment's effects, not just the transformation. This was something Earth Monarch Mo Tong couldn’t mimic.
“I like this transformation move, and it enhances attack significantly. This kind of martial art is rare. Thanks to your appearance, I have another excellent martial art!” Earth Monarch Mo Tong smiled, looking as authoritative and powerful as Yi Tianyun did before.
Nian Ciyu and the others watched with serious expressions.
“This Earth Monarch Mo Tong is disgusting, always stealing others’ moves!” Nian Ciyu was angry as he quickly learned their painstakingly learned moves.
Although he didn’t learn all the essence, it was enough to disgust others.
“That’s his talent, an innate talent. Earth Monarch Mo Tong has had these magic eyes since childhood, able to learn any martial art at a glance without much training. He is truly a super genius.” Domain Lord Tianyu shook his head, marveling at the world’s wonders.
Earth Monarch Mo Tong was just one genius; there were even more extraordinary ones, like Earth Monarch Tianqing.
“I don’t believe this mimic can replicate all of Yi Tianyun’s abilities. Can he mimic speed and power?” Nian Ciyu fumed.
“He can…” Domain Lord Tianyu sighed, “His most terrifying aspect is that he can mimic martial arts and even abilities…”
Nian Ciyu was stunned, her heart sinking. Was Earth Monarch Mo Tong that terrifying?
