Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Milo’s Shock!

After isolating the outside world, Milo’s gaze slowly returned to Gu Xing, with scrutiny and contemplation in his eyes.

From Liu Li’s earlier words, he captured a crucial piece of information—

Lanny also seems to have become Gu Xing’s Guardian Beast?!

As a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the world, Milo naturally knows the existence of the Otherworld and the Human Race,

and he is well aware of the humans’ ability to contract beasts.

No wonder…

No wonder Liu Li would refer to this person as “Master.”

And judging by her implications, this angel named Lanny has also become his Contracted Beast?

If true…

Could the Destruction Law Lanny wields also be related to this person?

At this thought, Milo’s pupils contracted slightly, his heart suddenly shaken—

This explanation might be the answer closest to the truth!

He knows the situation of the Angel Race better than anyone.

If the race truly had an existence as unique as Lanny, it would have been impossible to hide from his watch.

Yet she appeared as if out of nowhere, sweeping the arena with the Power of Destruction…

Combined with the sudden arrival of Liu Li and Gu Xing—

Milo almost instantly concluded:

These two are definitely not of this world!

In just a fraction of a second, he had deduced seven or eight parts of the truth.

When he looked at Gu Xing again, an imperceptible respect was added to his gaze.

At this moment, Gu Xing also came to himself.

Realizing his previous actions, Gu Xing hurriedly released Liu Li.

Liu Li’s cheeks flushed, wings slightly folded, as she quietly stepped back half a step.

Gu Xing turned to Milo with a hint of apology and said:

“Order Angel, I got carried away earlier. Please forgive my indiscretion.”

Milo’s expression remained serene.

If anyone else had overstepped with Lord Inheritor so, he would have long resolved the matter.

But earlier, he had just guessed Gu Xing’s identity…

“No harm, the joy of reunion is understandable.”

Then his gaze swept past Lanny, recalling Liu Li’s deliberate evasion about the Destruction Law’s origin,

while his heart still held questions, he didn’t pursue them, instead kindly reminded:

“If possible, please aid Lanny in winning the top prize in this tournament.”

“Lord Liu Li’s strength is still weak, and if challenged, changes might occur.”

Upon hearing Milo’s suggestion, Gu Xing nodded.

This was his plan from the start.

His gaze fell on the last opponent Lanny was about to face.

This Totem Level opponent was stronger than the previous Totem Level angel Lanny faced but only by a limited margin.

Relying on the Power of Laws he provided, Lanny facing him was not much of a problem.

However—

The real difficulty did not lie with that Totem Level opponent.

Gu Xing’s gaze passed over the arena, quietly landing on Jia Bailuo seated atop the grand stage.

Since this successor attempted to use the rules to eliminate Liu Li from the tournament,

he could similarly reverse the situation—

using this mechanism to eliminate Jia Bailuo!

But the problem was…

Jia Bailuo’s strength was far superior to the previous two Totem Level angels.

As a ten-winged successor, his Talent was the same as Liu Li’s, and his Level had reached the Half-step Totem Realm.

Whether in Attributes, Law Control, or combat experience, Lanny couldn’t match him.

The only potential variable lay perhaps within Gu Xing himself.

With his dual Talents of ’Sovereign’ and ’Soul-devouring’, coupled with the god-defying abilities of the Creation Law…

Applying both to their limits might present a slim chance of victory.

Thinking this, Gu Xing also quietly prepared himself.

Soon, the announcement of the Judgment Angel heralded the official start of the finals.

Lanny, encouraged by Gu Xing’s gaze, took a deep breath and steadfastly stepped onto the arena.

Liu Li gently clasped Gu Xing’s hand, leaning against his side, softly said:

“Lord Gu Xing, the inheritance of the Angel God… seems not to significantly enhance me.”

From Milo, she learned that the Angel God left behind the Guardian and Destruction Powers of Law, yet she had already mastered these forces, hence the increment from the inheritance was indeed limited.

Gu Xing naturally understood this aspect.

But he also harbored a slight doubt.

Why did the Laws controlled by the Angel God bear such resemblance to Liu Li’s abilities?

Could there be some connection between the two?

Gu Xing’s gaze swept over Liu Li, then over the twelve-winged angel statue at the center of the square.

Suddenly perceiving a similarity between the two.

But quickly, Gu Xing shook his head, discarding the thought.

Impossible!

The timelines of the two are too far apart, definitely impossible!

He then returned to his focus, contemplating the conditions needed for Liu Li’s improvement, gently saying:

“Liu Li, strive to win first place this time, it will surely benefit you.”

Liu Li nodded without hesitation.

She unconditionally trusted her Master,

since her Master wished her to win the title, she would not retreat.

On the arena, Lanny’s opponent had also stepped up.

This angel bore evident vigilance and sobriety in his eyes.

He bore Jia Bailuo’s command.

He must eliminate this angel.

However…

He saw the earlier match clearly—

Lanny commanded the power of the Angel God!

Claiming he wasn’t nervous would be a lie.

The sole saving grace was that Lanny’s grip on the Laws remained rather inexperienced,

this might be his only chance.

He commanded the Shadow Law, excelling in stealth and swift strikes, as long as he could act before Lanny triggered the Destruction Power…

There might be a sliver of chance to win.

Thinking this, he hesitated no longer,

compressing the Shadow Law surrounding him to the extreme, forming a barely detectable point of cold light—

In this strike, he left no room.

A Totem Level angel fully exerting against a Monarch Level angel, if this Monarch Level angel failed to defend.

The result would be fatal!

This severely violated the tournament rules.

Yet he was still ready to do it.

Solving a competitor for Lord Jia Bailuo was more critical than anything.

Even if he faced punishment from the Angel Race, he was willing to bear it.

“The finals of the tournament—begin!”

As the Judgment Angel’s voice faded, that Totem Level angel suddenly erupted!

The power of Totem Tier One entirely unleashed, his figure shot forth like a shadow tearing through the void, straight at Lanny!

Milo’s eyebrows knitted tightly—

The force of this strike had long exceeded the scope of the competition, nearing a life-and-death battle!

Seeing the attack closing in on Lanny, yet she seemed oblivious,

Milo’s Spiritual Power condensed suddenly, about to intervene—

But his intervention would mean… the failure of Lanny in this match.

However, at that instant—

A resplendent golden barrier suddenly unfolded, radiant and indestructible, firmly staving off the lethal shadow assault!

“Guardian Law?!”

The entire audience was instantly abuzz!

Milo looked sharply at Gu Xing, but was stunned to discover:

The vast Power of Guardian truly stemmed from this human’s hand!

???

A human…

can actually command the Angel God’s exclusive Law?!
