Chapter 254: The Invincible Chen Chu, Who Else? (II)
Xia Youhui replied naturally, "I'm recording all of this, of course. I have a hunch that with the talent Ah Chu is showing now, it won't be long before he breaks through to the king level.
"By then, the video I record today will definitely be valuable. After all, this is the scene of King Chen Chu's rise on the mutated beast battlefield. Just thinking about it makes it precious."
"Damn, you're smart."
"I want to record it too. When I get married in a few years, I'll play this video at the wedding. Tell everyone that King Chen Chu and I are good brothers, and when he rose to fame, I was there to cheer him on. It'll definitely be prestigious by then."
Many people inexplicably felt that Chen Chu had the bearing of a king, and as long as he didn’t die in the future, he would be able to ascend to the throne.
Meanwhile, on the platform, Chen Chu couldn't help feeling a bit speechless upon hearing the conversation between Xia Youhui and the others. At the moment, however, he had no energy to deal with them, his gaze falling on the remaining three individuals.
Seeing this, Ji Changkong, carrying the golden battle sword on his back, stepped onto the platform, excitement gleaming in his eyes. "Chen Chu, didn't expect our third encounter to be on the stage."
Chen Chu replied slowly, "Perhaps it's fate. The first time I entered the Yunwu Mountains, I met you. It might have foretold that we would have a battle."
Ji Changkong nodded. "Perhaps so. Chen Chu, I cultivate the Great Sun Sword Scripture, condensing the Golden Flame Sword Will. My swordsmanship is hot and sharp. Be careful."
"I cultivate the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body. The Divine Might Tyrant Body has reached the advanced level. I mainly rely on absolute strength and dominance. Ji Changkong, please be careful too."
"After you!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Changkong slowly drew his battle sword. Instantly, a fierce aura emanated from him, and the surrounding transcendent energy within a ten-meter radius stirred.
Under the influence of his sword will, the transcendent energy faintly formed a circular light around Ji Changkong, with strands of golden light converging on his golden battle sword to form flickering flames.
Boom!
The rocks beneath his feet shattered as Ji Changkong became a golden sunburst. His sword qi expanded to seven meters under the amplification of transcendent energy, and flames burned on its surface, creating a vast sea of fire that surged toward Chen Chu with tremendous momentum.
This was the power of sword will, almost making Ji Changkong, a Fifth Heavenly Realm cultivator, stronger than many experts of the Sixth Realm. Most importantly, within the sea of flames, a searing force was faintly gathering, aiming directly at Chen Chu from all directions.
No matter how mysterious Ji Changkong's attack was, however, Chen Chu still faced it with his unparalleled halberd.
Boom!
Under everyone’s tense gaze, the golden halberd swept through the air, instantly dissipating the sea of flames with an invisible force as it intersected with the battle sword.
Boom!
A scorching golden shockwave exploded, sweeping over a radius of dozens of meters. Wherever it passed, hot, dry waves of air rolled.
Just as the battle sword and the halberd intersected, Ji Changkong's expression changed slightly.
Boom!
With the eruption of a deafening force, the transcendent energy gathered around Ji Changkong, and even his protective true power, were all shattered under that overbearing force.
Splatter!
Ji Changkong's legs sank into the ground, and he was unable to stop himself from sliding back dozens of meters, leaving two long, broken marks on the platform.
However, compared to those classmates who had been blasted away and injured by Chen Chu's single strike, Ji Changkong was much better off. His arm wielding the sword trembled incessantly as he smiled bitterly.
"Thanks for sparing me, Chen Chu."
Chen Chu nodded slowly. "Ji Changkong, you're too kind."
Ji Changkong, deserving of the title of the top second-year student of the southern mutated beast battlefield, was left with only a weakened boiling vitality under the attack that rivaled the peak of the Sixth Heavenly Realm.
Of course, Chen Chu had been holding back all along. Otherwise, with the halberd sweep and the explosion of golden true dragon power, even Ji Changkong would have been obliterated with a single strike, leaving no trace behind.
As Ji Changkong walked down the platform with a bitter smile, Chen Chu looked toward the remaining Lin Mei and Li Heng.
"I'll go."
With that, Li Heng, who ranked ahead of Lin Mei among the third-year students, strode onto the platform. A chaotic and wildly astonishing aura enveloped him, spreading madly as he ascended the platform. With his arrival, the world seemed to tremble.
The high-level Primordial Animitta was a rare art involving space manipulation, capable of distorting the air and confusing the consciousness and vision of others when cultivated to the advanced level.
Of course, Li Heng couldn't achieve this level yet. He could only manage to disturb the surrounding space with the release of his willpower, creating a chaotic field.
True power at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm erupted, forming a white aura around Li Heng that emitted a heavy oppressive feeling like leaping flames.
Behind the students, Yu Qinghua, one of the teachers who had stayed at the base, looked down and said slowly, "Li Heng has already reached the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm in two months, and his integration of willpower is also progressing smoothly. There’s hope that he will ignite the flame of true power before graduation.
"I wonder if he can withstand the overwhelming might of the advanced Divine Might Tyrant Body with his strength."
Another female teacher hesitated. "It should be fine. Although the Divine Might Tyrant Body is unmatched in its might, it shouldn't be invincible under the Seventh Heavenly Realm."
Boom!
As a genius at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, Li Heng's strength was staggering. The true power enveloping him caused the light within a dozen meters to twist, and the air to tremble.
Accompanied by the collapse of the void, the air within a dozen meters around Chen Chu was sucked dry, forming a twisted field. A powerful compressive force pressed in from all directions.
Roar!
Roars of dragons and elephants emanated from Chen Chu's body as an endless torrent of violent power erupted. The twisted field surrounding him instantly collapsed under that brutal force, shattered into pieces.
Boom!
Just then, a golden halberd crossed the void, piercing through everything. With unparalleled power, it blasted the chaotic atmosphere apart with a single strike.
Boom!
As he blocked the attack with his saber, Li Heng's feet shattered the ground within a dozen meters, his entire body sinking and his face changing drastically. The protective true power around him shook violently and then collapsed.
Pfft!
With the collapse of his true power, Li Heng spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire being weakened significantly.
The golden light on the halberd subsided as it was lifted slightly. In the large pit, Li Heng's footsteps wavered, almost losing his balance.
With a single strike, Li Heng, at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Realm and reaching a level comparable to the middle stage of the Sixth, was injured. Many people couldn't help but inhale sharply, their faces filled with lingering shock.
"Too powerful."
The female teacher's expression turned solemn. "This power isn't just the Divine Might Tyrant Body."
Yu Qinghua spoke slowly, "It is said that he has awakened some kind of innate physical ability, similar to innate divine power. That's probably the reason behind such a powerful Tyrant Body."
Continuously sweeping through peer geniuses, Chen Chu's unbeatable battle will grew stronger, distorting the surrounding air and filling the space with his aura.
Wearing black armor crafted from small scales, Lin Mei stepped onto the platform with a smile. "Let me lend you a hand in condensing your invincible aura."
Chen Chu's voice was deep. "Please, Lin Mei."
Hum!
As Lin Mei drew her sword, a substantive green wind appeared around her, gradually growing larger and even covering a range of dozens of meters.
Below the platform, Ji Changkong exclaimed, "Indeed, Lin Mei's sword will has reached the intermediate level."
Whoosh!
On the platform, the howling wind roared, and within the green tornado, a residual image rapidly circled Chen Chu. Even his vision could only vaguely capture the incredible speed.
So fast!
Chen Chu's gaze sharpened.
Within the swirling wind, Lin Mei not only reached supersonic speeds, but also didn't produce sonic booms like Chen Chu did. Instead, her entire being seemed to merge with the raging wind.
Here it comes!
Swoosh!
A sharp hiss resounded as a green light burst out from Chen Chu's blind spot at a blinding speed, vaguely forming a green Luan. The moment it appeared, an invisible force descended, causing a frenzy within a radius of twenty meters and stirring up countless cyan lights to form a storm of blades.
Boom!
The two-ton halberd caused the air to explode. Surrounded by golden halberd light, wherever it went, it suppressed everything in its path, dispersing the raging wind.
As the vast wind blades dissipated, a green sword swept through the air on Chen Chu's other side. The green sword qi was compressed to its limit, almost turning into a green light flash. Where it passed, the air formed a pure black plane.
By this time, it was too late to retract the halberd.
Boom!
The armor-covered fist shimmered with golden light. In an instant, roars of dragons and elephants echoed through the air as the overbearing force shattered everything in its path, including the extremely sharp green sword light.
Boom!
The air within a dozen meters exploded, with a burst of golden and green light. The ground shattered, forming a fan-shaped shockwave sweeping everything dozens of meters away.
The explosion resounded through the heavens and earth, echoing for a long time.
When the smoke cleared, Lin Mei, with her armor somewhat damaged, appeared dozens of meters away. Her aura was in disarray, and the arm holding the slender sword trembled.
Under Chen Chu's fist, even Lin Mei, whose sword will had reached the intermediate level, couldn't withstand another blow.
By now, Chen Chu's aura had become even more ferocious, subtly distorting the surrounding air. Coupled with the backdrop of his black-red splendid crystal armor as he stood with his halberd, he seemed like a golden war god.
Chen Chu's gaze slowly swept around the platform. "Is there anyone else coming up?"
In response to Chen Chu's inquiry, the entire venue fell silent, and for a moment, the atmosphere was heavy with dread.
Seeing this, Chen Chu turned and strode away. With each step, the ground trembled slightly, and the invisible aura around him grew stronger. There were even wisps of blood-red light appearing.
As they watched Chen Chu's figure disappear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Under the weight of that heavy aura just now, they had even felt a sense of suffocation.
Suddenly, Xia Youhui reacted.
"Quick, let's go after him!"
Bai Mu was puzzled. "Why should we chase after him?"
Xia Youhui said impatiently, "To see Ah Chu show off, of course! A grand event like this only happens once in a lifetime."
"Yeah, let's hurry!"
Not only Xia Youhui and his friends, but also many other students quickly used their movement arts to catch up, their expressions excited.
Today, their school was going to shake the southern battlefield. Haha, our school's Chen Chu is about to sweep through all the young talents of this generation, unstoppable.
The Lin sisters stood on the steps, watching the figures rushing down the mountain. Lin Yu gave her sister a puzzled look. "Sis, aren't you going to go watch?"
Lin Xue shook her head slightly with a complex expression. "There's no need. We can wait here for news. The gap is too big. I'm afraid I'll collapse if I watch more."
The female teacher looked somewhat solemn. "Old Yu, did you notice? There's something off about that blood-red aura around Chen Chu."
Yu Qinghua nodded slightly. "It seems to be the aura of blood slaughter, condensed only after killing countless beings."
