Long Chen made his move. The divine ring behind him swirled, and within the colorful aperture, the six-colored ring rotated in both directions and reverses, as endless energy from the Heavenly Dao poured into Long Chen's body.
This was the first time since Long Chen entered the Immortal Realm that he had fully activated his divine ring. He found that in the Immortal Realm, the ring's operation was smoother than in the mortal realm.
As the divine ring operated, Long Chen's perception rapidly expanded; he could even sense everyone in the plaza through the barrier.
"Could it be that the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique itself is a technique from the Immortal Realm? Only in the Immortal Realm can one unleash its greatest power? A
flash of inspiration struck Long Chen's mind, and the spear in his hand was already strusting toward Chu Kuang like a bolt of lightning.
"Idiot, do you really think you're worth me going all out?"
Seeing the divine ring circulating behind Long Chen, carrying boundless pressure, Chu Kuang was both shocked and furious. The blood-red long blade in his hand shone with intense light as he slashed at Long Chen.
"Boom!"
The two weapons collided fiercely, divine light erupted, countless runes danced in the void, and an arc of light rapidly spread.
"Boom boom boom...
The ground beneath their feet split open, and people saw spiderweb-like cracks that instantly covered dozens of miles around.
Their weapons clashed, their long hair flying, staring intently at each other. As their strength increased, the ground trembled uncontrollably, and the spiderweb-like cracks slowly spread outward.
"Oh my god, is this even human?"
"What level of power is this, anyway?"
"Are they really just like us, still in the Mortal Shedding Realm? Why, in such a terrifying position, I was about to be killed by the fierce wind before I even got close to them? "
Could it be that Long Chen had long anticipated this outcome, so he forced Chu Kuang off the altar to fight with all his might?"
For a moment, people grew more and more shocked. These two were truly monsters—how could they be so terrifying?
"So strong, so strong! How is Long Chen's strength so strong?" Luo Ning looked at Long Chen's long hair fluttering like a god descending to earth, and couldn't help but say with delight.
Chu Kuang's strength was partly due to his talent, the treasure armor he wore, and the spiritual weapons in his hands, which provided tremendous help; otherwise, such a terrifying improvement wouldn't have happened.
But Long Chen had nothing, even his weapons were just seized. He was fighting with his own strength, and it was precisely because of this that it was so shocking—what does confidence mean? That's what confidence is.
"Crack, crack, crack... The
ground beneath their feet cracked and shattered continuously. Under their strength, the earth began to slowly sink, and soon a large crater appeared.
"Long Chen, I admit you do have some strength, but I can tell you clearly, you can't beat me. My strength is beyond what you can imagine." Chu Kuang's long blade trembled, and the strength in his body was still slowly increasing.
But no matter how much he improved, he could never shake Long Chen in the slightest. Long Chen looked at Chu Kuang and said seriously,
"From the first time I saw you, I really disliked you. I don't know why, but I always want to slap you to death."
At first, I thought it was because you lacked ability, were arrogant, ugly, and showed off.
Later, I thought it probably wasn't. I even once wondered if it was because of the relationship between your Chu family and the Luo family that I disliked you.
But then I thought about it, it didn't seem like it either. But today, after making a move, I found myself disliking you even more. I had a feeling that maybe the answer would soon be revealed. "
You will pay a heavy price for your ignorance." Chu Kuang sneered. Suddenly, runes erupted on his long blade, its power increasing by nearly thirty percent. Long Chen's spear was pushed backward, and the blade was actually aimed at Long Chen's neck.
Faced with Chu Kuang's outburst, Long Chen showed no surprise. Just as his right spear was forced back, his left hand, covered in white dragon scales, reached out and struck Chu Kuang's sinister, grinning face in a strange arc.
"Boom!"
Although Chu Kuang instantly suppressed Long Chen's spear in terms of power, he hadn't expected Long Chen's left hand to launch an attack. A loud explosion shook the ground violently.
Chu Kuang's body plowed a long, large trench from the earth, sending a trail of dust and smoke as he shot straight into a distant rocky mountain.
"Bang!"
A towering mountain thousands of feet tall trembled violently, then cracks covered the mountain's surface, followed by a crash of collapse.
The spectators outside the arena were stunned. What kind of monster was Long Chen, and how could his power be so terrifying?
Logically, he and Chu Kuang were fighting with full force, so he shouldn't have had the strength to free up a hand. But since Long Chen could still spare one hand, it meant he hadn't used his full strength just now.
Such a terrifying momentum, yet he hasn't even gone all out? This isn't even human—he's practically a monster.
Most people were angry at Chu Kuang's blatant cheating, and even more so because of the words of the elder of the Chu family.
Out of sympathy for the weak, they all hoped Long Chen would win, but the power Long Chen was showing now left them all stunned. So, who is the weaker one? Who exactly is playing dumb to outsmart others? Who should we sympathize with?
"The aura attached to this power... It seemed to be the power of the dragon clan, but indeed not human power. The head of the Discipline Institute looked at Long Chen, his eyes flashing with light. He was one of the few who saw the dragon scales appear on Long Chen's palm.
He had previously concluded that Long Chen's power was not that of the human race, though he couldn't determine which kind of power it was. However, the dragon scales and aura revealed by Long Chen's slap gave him a rough guess.
The disciples outside looked at the nearly hundred-li long trench plowed into the ground, then at the shattered rocky mountains. For a moment, the outside area fell silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with nothing but shock.
Even the elder beside Chu Huairen had a change in expression, but Chu Huairen remained calm and confident as he said,
"It's nothing. The young master has plenty of trump cards. He's just weighing how many cards are appropriate to reveal."
After all, the future struggle for the family head was his ultimate goal. Here, exposing too much was meaningless. Among the outer disciples of Lingxiao Academy, there was absolutely no match for him. After
Chu Huairen finished speaking, he looked at the head of the Discipline Institute, who was also looking at him. Both of them smiled, but the meaning behind their smiles was rather memorable.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, rocks and mountains shattered. Amidst endless dust and smoke, Chu Kuang stepped forward.
People looked at Chu Kuang in shock. After such a terrifying attack, anyone else would have died hundreds of times over, yet Chu Kuang was completely unharmed.
"Long Chen, you've completely enraged me. From now on, you have to endure my wrath!"
Chu Kuang emerged from the pile of rocks, his hair a bit messy, his eyes brimming with a fierce light and endless killing intent. Suddenly, he let out a long, sky-high howl, and behind him, a strange orb of light appeared.
When Luo Bing and Luo Ning saw the pattern, their faces instantly turned deathly pale, fear flashing in their eyes, and they immediately stood up from their seats.
"How is this possible?"
