Chapter 25 The Gap Between Us and Monsters

"Hey, big star, you're finally awake?"

Upon seeing Chen Kong, who was dressed in a white patient gown and appeared frail, Tian Dao immediately greeted him with a smile.

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Chen Kong immediately felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

A cunning glint flashed in Tiandao's eyes at this, and then he took the initiative to come to the side of the brother and sister and looked Chen Kong up and down.

His strange behavior left the two of them puzzled, completely unable to keep up with his wildly imaginative and leaping thoughts.

A moment later, Tiandao suddenly approached Chenxing and, without any sense of boundaries, poked her bandaged arm with his finger, saying, "Xing, look at how well your brother has recovered from his injuries. There isn't even a scar on his body."

“Look at you again. Not only do you insist on leaving scars on your arms, but you also have the audacity to say that you want to use them to remind yourself.”

"If you ask me, you're just living too comfortably and prefer to suffer without pain. Otherwise, why would a normal person choose to have surgery with scars instead of having scarless surgery? Aren't you sick in the head?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Chenxing's expression darkened instantly, and even the star energy within her body became uncontrollably agitated.

boom!
The violent stellar energy caused the dust star to ignite with scorching flames.

The scorching heat caused the thermometer hanging on the wall not far away to shatter with a 'bang'.

Fortunately, although she was angry, she did not completely lose her mind and managed to suppress the spread of the flames around her.

This is why a certain unfortunate soul, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was not affected by the flames.

Even so, Chen Kong only managed to withstand the sudden increase in ambient temperature after creating some distance between himself and Chen Xing.

After noticing that Chen Kong had retreated to a safe distance, Chen Xing, no longer worried, finally stopped suppressing the 'karmic fire' within his body and released it without reservation.

However, this caused the flames to instantly affect the Heavenly Dao.

"No way, you're getting angry already? Can't you even let a person tell the truth?!"

Faced with the sudden eruption of fierce karmic fire from the dust star, the Heavenly Dao immediately feigned fright, taking a sharp step back and casually brushing aside the oncoming flames as if brushing away willow catkins from its shoulder.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

This action by the Heavenly Dao instantly stunned Chen Kong, who was not far away.

This action by Heaven is tantamount to ignoring the damage caused by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire of Dust Star.

At the same time, with every move he made, he easily took away her control over the karmic fire.

This one move alone was enough to show the huge gap in strength between him and Chen Xing.

Unlike Chen Kong's shock, Chen Xing remained quite calm.

Three days earlier, having just obtained the 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire,' she had overestimated herself and approached the Heavenly Dao, launching a new challenge.

The result was obvious: she suffered another crushing defeat at the hands of Heaven.

Moreover, this defeat was far worse than before, which greatly hurt Chen Xing's self-esteem.

Because back then, Dust Star was just like it is now; it couldn't even harm the Heavenly Dao.

However, if it were someone else, their Dao heart might have been shattered by the Heavenly Dao long ago, causing them to completely give up the idea of ​​challenging it.

But Dust Star is different.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to submit to anyone.

Even if this person is the Heavenly Dao, it's the same.

Therefore, even knowing that he was far from being a match for the Heavenly Dao, Chen Xing was still 'provoked' by the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

It still chose to bravely bare its fangs, as a warning to the heavens that it was not one of those helpless lambs that could be slaughtered at will.

"Heavenly Dao, aren't you meddling a bit too much?"

"What I do is my decision, it has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to decide it for me."

Upon hearing Chen Xing's warning, Tian Dao said in a relaxed tone, "Xing, look at what you're saying. I'm just concerned about you. If you don't want to hear it, that's fine, but why are you so angry?"

The words of Heaven only made Chen Xing's face darken further.

She looked intently at Tiandao and said firmly, "Tiandao, scars are something that can be dispensable and are not important to me, because I am not the kind of incompetent vase who can only hide behind others."

"Therefore, rather than wasting my energy on these useless things, I would rather focus on exploring the Star Source."

"Only in this way can I have a tiny, barely perceptible chance of catching up with you."

"Uh," Tiandao smiled awkwardly, clearly not expecting Chenxing to steer the conversation to such a heavy level.

After a moment, facing Chen Xing's serious expression, Tian Dao finally raised his hands helplessly: "Alright, since you've said so, I won't say it next time."

After saying that, Tiandao immediately walked out of the training room.

They looked like they were about to go out and rest.

But as he walked, he was secretly counting down in his mind.

3
2
1!

"Wait a moment."

Before Tiandao could even leave the training room, Chenxing suddenly called out to him from behind.

Tiandao turned his head with a puzzled look and asked, "What is it now, my dear Miss Chenxing?" "I've been training all day and I'm exhausted. Can you please finish what you need to say at once?"

Chen Xing looked at him with an extremely serious expression and said, "Heavenly Dao, let's fight again. I want to see the difference between us."

"Ah? Again?"

Tiandao had a bitter face, clearly not wanting to do such troublesome things.

But when he saw Chen Kong looking on with curiosity not far away, Tiandao suddenly realized something.

"Oh, so you want your brother to see the battle between Star Envoys in advance?"

"No, Xing, if you want to teach your brother, then go ahead and do it. Why are you dragging me along? I really need to go out for dinner."

Faced with the Heavenly Dao's criticism, Chen Xing, whose true feelings had been exposed, could no longer maintain his original 'aloofness' and 'assertiveness'.

Even her cheeks were visibly red, creating a striking contrast.

Fortunately, the karmic fire surrounding her was originally dark red, so this change was not very noticeable.

Looking at the suddenly awkward atmosphere around him, Tiandao finally sighed.

"Alright, alright, I'll play with you a little longer then."

"but."

Tiandao walked to a spot in the arena and then suddenly stopped.

He waved his hand, drawing a circle only one meter in diameter around himself, and looked up at the dust star not far away.

"Star, let's try a different approach this time. I won't attack you, nor will I leave this area."

"If you can force me out of this place within three minutes, then I'll consider myself the loser, how about it?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's incredibly arrogant words, Chen Kong, who was in the distance, was stunned.

Because of his understanding of his sister.

She should absolutely not be able to accept this blatant act of 'contempt' from Heaven.

To Chen Kong's surprise, Chen Xing not only readily agreed to Tian Dao's 'new game'.

Moreover, she did not show the slightest dissatisfaction during the process.

It was as if, to her, Heaven's will was not a disgrace.

It is a form of fairness in disguise.

But as Chen Xing walked toward the Heavenly Dao and passed by Chen Kong, she suddenly spoke out of the blue.

“Watch closely, Empty, because you will soon see the true gap between us and the monsters.”

"And that gap is so huge that it's despair-inducing."

Chen Kong opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say what was on his mind.

Because he felt that no matter how strong the Heavenly Dao was, they were still people of the same age.

In situations where the scope of action is limited and there is absolutely no way to retaliate.

Can he really win this 'game'?

You must know that his opponent is none other than his incredibly powerful older sister, Chen Xing.

But looking at Chen Xing's serious expression and Tian Dao's relaxed face in the distance, he could only watch.

Chen Kong always felt that things might really develop in a way that far exceeded his expectations, just as his sister Chen Xing had said.

And I don’t know if it was his illusion.

Looking at Tiandao, who was standing in the circle at this moment, looking relaxed and harmless.

Chen Kong felt that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly blurred, while the figure of the Heavenly Dao was constantly 'growing larger' until it became something that people could only look up at.

The scene made it seem as if he wasn't looking at any peers at all.

Instead, they were watching a terrifying, unattainable humanoid monster.

In a daze, Chen Kong suddenly remembered what Chen Xing had just said to him.

'What is truly powerful is never the Star Source, but the Heavenly Dao.'

Thinking of this, Chen Kong immediately shook his head to clear his mind.

Then, he looked at Tiandao and Chenxing in the arena, his expression extremely serious.

At this moment, he really wanted to know just how strong the 'monster' his sister had mentioned had become.

At the same time, he also wanted to know just how desperately vast the gap was between himself and this 'monster'.

The answer to all of this will soon be revealed before your very eyes.
