Chapter 171: Chapter171-Seeing Me is Like Seeing a God


    ?


    The mocking voices of the crowd converged, causing John''s face to twitch as he felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.


    Why did everyone think he was inferior to Owen?


    Why was Owen celebrated as a genius while he was just a stepping stone?


    From his three years of bitter training to the intense battles against spellbeasts in Kyrik, all of it was meant to bring him fame and respect as a brilliant talent.


    He had originally planned to amaze everyone during the three-year agreement and had already shaken the Azure Kingdom, but Owen had ruthlessly crushed him into the dirt. This grudge had always lingered in his heart.


    Although this moment had come somewhat suddenly, John had made extensive preparations to defeat Owen and wash away his shame.


    In front of the Middle Earth prodigies and the many continental mages gathered here, he was determined to kill Owen!


    If he could defeat Owen, his name would not only spread across the continent but might even reach Middle Earth!


    "Owen, this time, your death has come!"


    Anger flared in John''s eyes as his diamond-tier level 1 aura surged, spreading like molten lava, staining the air a deep, dark purple.


    The pressure from this aura was so immense that the air crackled, and black cracks appeared and spread in the void.


    The mages present looked at the aura surrounding John with astonishment, feeling an overwhelming pressure that forced them to step back involuntarily.


    To the mages of the continent, John was not an unknown figure.


    On the contrary, his three-year agreement and his victory over Princess Marry had made him a prominent figure.


    Unfortunately, his humiliating defeat at Owen''s hands had severely damaged his reputation. After all, to most mages, the victor becomes the king, and no one sings praises for the loser; they only remember the unparalleled king.


    However, at this moment, the terrifying aura emanating from John gave them the illusion that they were facing the Dragon Princess again.


    Despite being just diamond-tier level 1, John''s aura was as powerful as that of a master-tier mage. John was indeed terrifying!


    No wonder he dared to stand up and challenge Owen at this time!


    The prodigies from Middle Earth, including Rachel, the Dragon Princess, and Henry, knew little about John.


    But judging by the aura he was emitting, this mage from a barren land possessed strength and talent that surpassed most Middle Earth prodigies, approaching the level of the top-tier geniuses.


    If he could defeat Owen this time, John would rank among the top prodigies of Middle Earth. Especially Rachel, who looked at John with deep seriousness.


    She didn''t know much about John, but she knew her sister very well.


    If Ymir was secretly assisting him, John''s talent must be extraordinary.


    Otherwise, with Ymir''s pride, she wouldn''t voluntarily help or guide anyone.


    Most importantly, Ymir, for some reason, didn''t want to act and was hiding in the necklace. But John, despite being far below Owen in level, still stood up without hesitation.


    As the crowd watched, the dark purple aura surrounding John gradually condensed into intricate, palm-sized runes as he formed hand seals.


    Owen''s taunting words felt like a slap in the face to John, shattering his pride and dignity!


    "Owen, there''s always someone stronger out there, and you''re too arrogant!" John glared at Owen, took a deep breath to suppress his agitation, and then a pale light began to radiate from his body, making him look like an indestructible stone statue.


    Under this light, his body even appeared somewhat translucent, gleaming with a peculiar


    radiance.


    White King Form!


    This was an extremely powerful dark magic technique. Once activated, the body became as hard as diamond, nearly impossible to damage.


    Additionally, reaction speed and mana sensitivity would increase significantly, temporarily boosting him from diamond-tier level 1 to diamond-tier level 5!


    With this dark magic, he could temporarily increase his level by four!


    The mages watching couldn''t help but gasp in shock.


    After all, to most continental mages, diamond-tier was already the pinnacle of power!


    Temporarily boosting one''s level by four was almost unheard of!


    Even the Middle Earth prodigies were stunned by the transformation in John''s body.


    With their extensive knowledge, they quickly recognized that this dark magic technique was incredibly rare and powerful, even in Middle Earth.


    With the power of this technique, John''s combat strength had risen to the point where he


    could face a master-tier mage directly!


    Bang!


    The sudden surge in strength rekindled John''s confidence, and he charged at Owen with renewed determination.


    His elbows, fists, and feet all transformed into the most ruthless weapons, aiming straight


    for Owen''s vital points.


    Owen remained unafraid, his body, strengthened by Obsidify, as tough as metal, directly


    clashing with John''s attacks!


    Clang, clang, clang!


    The sound of metal striking metal rang out continuously as countless sparks flew from their collisions, burning through the void and emitting a pungent smell of scorched air.


    After dozens of fierce and brutal exchanges, John suddenly coughed up blood and was sent


    flying back.


    Owen''s punch had landed squarely on his chest, bending him like a shrimp and sending him


    hurtling backward, spitting blood and staining his chest red. The once-high aura quickly diminished under Owen''s blow.
