Chapter 525: Chapter 519: Can’t Hear, Louder

"Hahaha, Deacon Ma, are you joking? A Martial Artist at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm wanting to challenge..."

The Swordsman who was laughing suddenly trembled uncontrollably and his laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed him by the throat.

Next to him, Ye Zhen was staring coldly at the laughing Swordsman, his gaze extraordinarily chilling.

It was Ye Zhen’s gaze that made the Swordsman’s laughter come to an abrupt halt, and everyone saw it.

In an instant, the Swordsman’s face turned beet red.

But as red as he was, the Swordsman dared not utter another word.

Trembling!

Under Ye Zhen’s gaze, his Divine Soul seemed to tremble, making him afraid to utter another word.

This scene caught the attention of some observant bystanders.

Soon after, two other deacons, surnamed Ding and Zhang, arrived at the Martial Arts Institute. Just like the Swordsman before, they were also shocked when they learned that Ye Zhen was challenging Wu Wei.

However, these two had better composure than Wu Wei, merely verifying the information before staying silent.

Of course, the surprise on their faces was unmistakable.

Quickly, Deacon Ding set the ground for the duel and chased all the more than forty martial artists watching to stand five miles away.

"Wu Wei, Ye Zhen, both members of Stars Tower, remember in your martial duel to go easy on each other, avoid causing injury," Deacon Ma cautioned.

"This martial duel features Ye Zhen, ranked eighteenth ’Meteor’ of Stars Tower in the Black Dragon Domain, challenging Wu Wei, ranked forty-seventh ’Meteor’ of Stars Tower in the True Spirit Domain.

If Ye Zhen wins, he will replace Wu Wei’s ranking within the Stars Tower of the True Spirit Domain! If Ye Zhen loses, he will be demoted to an ordinary member, and his Ten Thousand Stars Plate will be retrieved!"

"Also, this battle is limited to two hours in length. If no victor is determined within two hours, the challenger wins!" Deacon Ding loudly announced the rules of the duel.

"Deacon Ding, why need two hours, I’ll solve him in three moves!" Wu Wei laughed.

Hearing this, many of the watching martial artists also burst into loud laughter.

Deacon Ding shook his head and continued, "Now, let the duel begin!"

With a light shout, Deacon Ding’s figure flickered, swiftly moving away like lightning from between Ye Zhen and Wu Wei, reaching five miles away within a few breaths, standing together with Deacon Ma and others.

"Deacon Ma, what’s your take on this duel?" Deacon Ding asked.

"What else is there to say? Ye Zhen is too arrogant, the difference in cultivation is too great!"

"Is that so? I don’t think so. Deacon Ma, I find this Ye Zhen unusually calm, not someone who’d engage in such folly!" said Deacon Ding.

"Not likely? In the True Spirit Domain, how many at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm can defeat those at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, have you seen any?"

In the arena, as Deacon Ding’s words fell, Wu Wei’s body burst with Spirit Light and immense Spiritual Power surged towards his skin, making him resemble a dazzling star, instantly overpowering Ye Zhen with his presence.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Wei lightly hopped on his toes, his whole person leaping up like an angry arrow, brilliance shining from all ten fingers.

"This, it seems not..." Before he could finish, Deacon Ding suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Just as Wu Wei leapt, Ye Zhen slightly moved his body too, also pouncing towards Wu Wei.

Initially, Ye Zhen’s speed was not too fast, still slightly slower compared to Wu Wei. But almost simultaneously with his leap, his figure inexplicably accelerated sharply, doubling his speed and becoming as fast as lightning.

In an instant, Ye Zhen arrived like a flash of lightning in front of Wu Wei, and along with his figure, a translucent red jade finger pointed straight at Wu Wei’s forehead!

Wu Wei only felt a flash of brilliance before his eyes, and before he could react, his Protective Spirit Force shattered, and a sharp pain came from his forehead,

along with Ye Zhen’s voice.

"Dare move, and I’ll explode your head!"

Ye Zhen’s icy voice instantly filled the arena, and only now did the observers see the whole situation clearly.

By that time, Wu Wei’s expression had turned to one of desperate horror as if he were in a trance, his fingers frozen in place, his expression more ghastly than seeing a ghost.

Ye Zhen stood beside Wu Wei, but his left index finger was firmly pointed at the center of Wu Wei’s forehead; everyone could clearly see, Wu Wei’s forehead had nearly collapsed half an inch inward, blood streaming down.

It was clear to everyone, with just a slight exertion from Ye Zhen’s fingertip, Wu Wei’s head might just explode.

"What happened?"

"How did I not see how Ye Zhen made his move?"

The watching martial artists discussed in astonishment.

"Hero Wu is a strong practitioner at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, how could he be subdued by a junior at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm? How is this possible?"

The Swordsman who previously flattered Wu Wei was also shocked, and after a moment of consideration, cold sweat broke out on his back, feeling enormously relieved.

That was a close one.

Not realizing that Ye Zhen was such a formidable figure, he had considered stepping on him earlier, lucky...

"How... how is this possible?"

It was only then that Deacon Ding, mouth agape, finally managed to utter disbelief, "Right, Deacon Ma, how exactly did Ye Zhen subdue Wu Wei, did you see it clearly?"

Deacon Ding was shocked, but Deacon Ma’s shock exceeded even that of Deacon Ding.

After a while, Deacon Ma wiped his eyes and slowly shook his head, "Didn’t see clearly, can’t tell, how astonishing is Ye Zhen’s strength?"

"Body Skill and Finger Technique, eh? But how fast must the Body Skill be, to subdue Wu Wei before he could react? That speed of Body Skill, it must be something only a Vein Forging Realm practitioner possesses?"

"Half a year ago, Wu Wei was already at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, to subdue Wu Wei in one move, I’m afraid even the two of us together couldn’t manage, right?"

While everyone was shocked, Ye Zhen’s stern voice had already resonated in the arena.

"Apologize, or shine my shoes, you pick! Otherwise, I’ll explode your head!"

"You dare!"

Wu Wei’s eyes suddenly widened with anger, "This is Stars Tower, you dare to be violent here?"

"Hmph, as an Outer Domain Barbarian, what wouldn’t I dare?"

A cold laugh, and Ye Zhen lightly expelled a surge of energy from his fingertip onto Wu Wei’s forehead. Wu Wei’s body shuddered as if struck by lightning, his face turning ashen white.

Ye Zhen had merely expelled a mild force, yet it made Wu’s head reel as if hammered, even causing instability in his Soul Sea.

It wasn’t that Ye Zhen had used his Divine Soul Power just now. Mainly, since the head houses the Soul Sea, any severe trauma there naturally causes disruptions in the Soul Sea.

"I’ll count to three breaths. If you don’t do as I say within three breaths, hmph!"

"Three!"

Ye Zhen snorted coldly and began to count.

"Two!"

As the word ’two’ was spoken, Wu Wei’s expression became extremely tense, his eyes revealing fear again because he could feel the fluctuation of energy from the tip of Ye Zhen’s finger.

There was no help for it, after all, Ye Zhen’s finger was practically lodged in his skull.

"Tell me, what cultivation technique did you use to win!" Wu Wei growled, looking for a way to step down.

"Floating Cloud Finger!"

Ye Zhen, new to Stars Tower, didn’t want to turn things messy and thus offered these three words.

Indeed, it was the Floating Cloud Finger that Ye Zhen used to break through Wu Wei’s Protective Spirit Force, but what was crucial this time, was a body skill that Ye Zhen captured Wu Wei with in an instant.

It was the same old ordinary Flickering Light Body Technique that Ye Zhen used, which paled in comparison to Wu Wei’s in terms of speed.

However, while using the body skill, Ye Zhen immersed his Divine Sense into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, executing a minor secret technique he had just acquired from the geomagnetic field — the ’Repel Technique’!

Obtained from the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, the magnetic field had two methods of deployment: the Attracting Word Technique and the Repel Technique.

When the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King faced Ye Zhen and Yang Zhengxi and controlled their speed, it used the Attracting Word Technique, and when it was fleeing from being poisoned and injured, it used the Repel Technique.

The repulsive force of the magnetic field allowed the practitioner to suddenly feel as light as a swallow.

This is not the traditional sense of being ’light as a swallow’; it truly made one as light as a swallow.

Under the effect of the magnetic field, Ye Zhen, a man of well over 180 pounds, truly felt as light as a swallow.

With the same amount of force, Ye Zhen’s weight was suddenly reduced by dozens to hundreds of times, making it impossible for his speed not to increase.

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have... underestimated you!"

As soon as Ye Zhen gave the answer, while dissatisfied, Wu Wei still apologized in a low voice.

With his life in Ye Zhen’s hands, he had no choice but to relent!

"The apology is too quiet, I can’t hear it, louder!"

Upon hearing Wu Wei’s apology, Ye Zhen suddenly roared, instantly making Wu Wei’s face turn beet red.

Previously, he intended to discreetly smooth over this incident, but with Ye Zhen’s roar, all the spectators became aware of it.

Almost at the same moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Wu Wei’s face.

In that instance, Wu Wei truly wished he could crawl into a hole.

How humiliating!

Especially since he had just claimed he would defeat Ye Zhen in three moves, but now, he was taken down by a single move. Just thinking about this made Wu Wei’s face burn with shame.

But what was fatal was that his life was still held in Ye Zhen’s hands.

He had a feeling that if he didn’t apologize, Ye Zhen might actually blow his head up.

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have underestimated you, and I shouldn’t have called you an Outer Domain Barbarian!"

Wu Wei’s face flushed and his voice boomed, having already been humiliated to the extreme, so what did it matter if he was a bit louder!

"Ha, such a loud voice!"

Ye Zhen chuckled softly, then withdrew and turned to walk towards Steward Ma.

Wu Wei’s face once again grew crimson, his eyes now filled with hatred.

"Ye Zhen, you’ve got guts. Next time, I will definitely kill you!" Wu Wei roared again in a venting manner.

"You? You couldn’t even handle one of my moves, and you think you qualify?"

Ye Zhen’s casual voice came from up ahead, causing Wu Wei’s face to redden like blood once more.

From a distance, the numerous martial artists, including the swordsman, were all dumbstruck.

"Damn, is this Ye Zhen really a warrior of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

Since when did a warrior of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm become so freakishly powerful?

And he’s from the Outer Domain?

"Steward Ma, the contest is over, can my position as ’Meteor’ now be confirmed?"

With that remark from Ye Zhen, Steward Ma and Deacon Ding snapped out of their shock.

"Ye Zhen challenges Wu Wei, Ye Zhen wins!" Deacon Ding quickly announced, and Steward Ma immediately began nodding agreement.

"Done, done, as soon as the Tower Master comes and stamps his seal, you’ll be one of the One Hundred and Eight Meteors of our True Spirit Domain’s Stars Tower. Just a moment, the Tower Master just happens to be here today; he should be able to come right over!"

An sparkle of excitement flashed through Steward Ma’s eyes, and suddenly a Dao Talisman Communication shot up into the sky. (To be continued.
