Chapter 79: Evolving the Power of Nature, Seeing Through All Illusions
"He should be the Chu Chen that Rongrong mentioned, the one who went to Shrek Academy that night to intercept and kill that Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. That means... he must possess at least one 100,000-year soul ring."
Ning Fengzhi thought of this, but then felt it was somewhat unrealistic.
At the Soul King Realm, how could he possibly absorb a 100,000-year soul ring? He would have been blasted apart long ago!
"Perhaps... it is for the person behind him. This means he has at least three Titled Douluo backing him. Could he really be from Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi began to speculate about Chu Chen's identity in his heart.
In his view, behind Chu Chen there was not only someone who needed a 100,000-year soul ring to break through to Titled Douluo, but also Dugu Bo who had acted that night, and another mysterious Titled Douluo.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only had two Titled Douluo!
So, this person's identity might really be from Spirit Hall, after all.
At this moment on the Martial Soul fighting arena, Chu Chen stood in the center of the team. The expressions on the faces of Ye Lingling and the others behind him were very relaxed; none of them took this Martial Soul fight seriously.
Canghui Academy had not even dispatched their full-strength lineup.
With a large number of Soul Elders in their team, how could they possibly be a match for Chu Chen, a Soul King?
"The match, begins!"
As both sides began to release their Martial Souls, five Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—bloomed beneath Chu Chen's feet, and the Blue Silver Emperor, emitting a blue-gold light, also grew upon the Martial Soul fighting arena.
He was indeed no longer hiding his own Soul Power, Martial Soul, or identity.
But these Soul Rings, he had to hide.
A Soul King and a Soul King possessing three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings and one 100,000-year soul ring could not be compared; the latter would inevitably face secret interception and assassination from many parties!
"Boom—!"
Chu Chen struck instantly. Endless Blue Silver Emperor rolled forward, spreading wildly across the Martial Soul fighting arena, while simultaneously carrying powerful life energy that followed the Blue Silver Emperor.
With a boom, the invisible life energy struck the seven members of Canghui Academy. Even with Soul Power protecting their bodies, all the Soul Elders were still blasted away by Chu Chen's single strike.
The remaining two Soul Sects had not yet reacted.
Chu Chen instantly arrived in front of the two, life energy gathering in his palm, and with one palm strike, he sent them flying off the Martial Soul fighting arena.
"..."
The entire arena was deathly silent. It seemed that only five seconds had passed since the start of the match, and a Soul Master team with decent strength had actually been instantly defeated just like that.
"This..."
On the high platform, Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and the others were all plunged into shock. If a youth with such strength continued to grow, what would become of him?
Bishop Salas, sitting to the side, had a somewhat gloomy expression. He whispered something to the Spirit Hall soldiers beside him, and immediately, that soldier hurried away.
This scene was observed by Xue Qinghe, who was nearby.
He smiled slightly, with no look of worry in his eyes. That soldier, and even Salas, would soon stop investigating Chu Chen's affairs, faced with the deterrence of Snake Lance and Porcupinefish.
Salas still knew how to distinguish between priorities.
"I... I announce... the winner of this match is the Huangdou Team!"
The host's dazed time even exceeded the time it took for Chu Chen to attack. After she reacted, she hurriedly announced the victory of this match.
The entire Martial Soul fighting arena erupted in thunderous applause at this moment. The appearance of such a powerful young contestant was bound to bring many highlights to this tournament!
On the high platform, Emperor Xue Ye said with a gratified expression, "As expected of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; this is an honor that belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire."
Beside him, Prince Xue Xing hurriedly came forward to claim credit.
But in reality, he didn't even know who Chu Chen was, why he was in the Huangdou Team, or even when such a person had emerged.
On the other side, in the spectator area belonging to Canghui Academy, a figure wore a cold, murderous expression. His gaze was fixed tightly on Chu Chen on the stage, with killing intent surging.
This match had ended too quickly.
After returning to the waiting room, Chu Chen and the others did not linger; instead, they planned to return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The preliminary tournament schedule was not packed, and the next match would likely not be for another two or three days.
"Haha, you all fought well."
Dugu Bo appeared soon after, wanting to return to the academy with Chu Chen and the others.
Chu Chen pondered for a moment, seemingly having an idea in his mind. On the way back to the academy with the group, he deliberately increased the distance, though it seemed Dugu Bo and the others did not notice.
The solitary Chu Chen noticed that suddenly, Blue Silver Grass began to rise beneath his feet. That special sense of resonance made Chu Chen realize that the rat hiding in the dark had finally been unable to restrain itself.
"You finally came."
Chu Chen remained calm and continued walking forward.
Because the road back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was overgrown with trees, even if surging Blue Silver Grass suddenly grew, it would not attract anyone's attention.
The Blue Silver Grass used a special array, erupting with resonance power between each other, communicating the power of nature with life energy, and the target of their resonance was ultimately Chu Chen!
"..."
Feeling the rhythm of the surrounding space, Chu Chen released the Blue Silver Emperor; the golden life energy and natural textures all erupted together into a golden light.
"Boom—!"
The scene before him changed instantly. The previously familiar street no longer existed, having transformed into a forest. In front of Chu Chen, an unknown middle-aged man had appeared.
He looked at Chu Chen with utter disbelief: "Impossible! How could you possibly break my Residual Dream illusion!"
"The moment your illusion opened, I had already sensed it, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Chu Chen smiled calmly. He knew this person was Shi Nian from Canghui Academy. He had already sensed the killing intent from Shi Nian earlier, so he had specifically informed Dugu Bo.
It was all to separate himself and lure the enemy deep into a trap.
The purpose was to draw Shi Nian out, and the latter had indeed been unable to restrain himself, finally wanting to come and assassinate Chu Chen.
"A Martial Soul-type skull bone—I cannot bear to miss it."
Only now did Shi Nian notice that a significant amount of Blue Silver Grass had grown in the surrounding forest. These Blue Silver Grass seemed to form a special network of veins, constantly transmitting and evolving information.
This power of evolving nature, predicting the opponent's future actions, and even seeing through all illusions and falsehoods, was the special use of Chu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor now!
This was precisely the next evolutionary direction of the Blue Silver Domain he had previously comprehended.
"So what if you discovered it? You are merely a Soul King; your final outcome will still be death."
Shi Nian sneered. His Residual Dream Martial Soul was extremely strange, both in form and in its method of attack.
"Since I dared to lure you out, I do not fear you, a Soul Saint."
The Blue Silver Domain instantly enveloped Shi Nian, and then the Blue Silver Emperor bloomed, blasting toward Shi Nian!
