Chapter 267: Chapter 267 It’s Time to End

"Senior Brother Hu, thank you for your leniency!"

Ling Chen gave a slight smile and sheathed his sword, standing tall.

He took out a Returning Essence Pill and popped it into his mouth to recover his Spiritual Power.

Gazing at that incredibly calm figure in the sky, disbelief still filled the eyes of almost everyone present.

Who could have imagined that a mere youngster at the Spirit Sea Realm could so effortlessly defeat a cultivator at the Primordial Pill Realm with a Super Spiritual Body?

The first time he appeared, Ling Chen revealed his capability as a Divine Thought Master.

The first battle, he displayed his formidable physical body.

And this time, he demonstrated a terrifying talent in Spirit Arts!

"Is this really a genius cultivated by True Martial Academy?"

Many began to doubt in their hearts.

Previously, Ye Zhenzhen with her Cloud Mist Spirit Body single-handedly defeated five students from Tianluo Academy, accomplishing a feat of one versus five.

And now, the trifling Spirit Sea Realm Ling Chen, with an intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique, overpowered a cultivator from the Primordial Pill Realm.

Is this True Martial Academy truly the perennial underdog as legend says?

On the Observation Platform.

Xu Qing, Li Xuan, and other Palace Masters turned their gaze towards Mo Han.

There’s no need to mention Ye Zhenzhen.

After all, she possesses the supreme-level Super Spiritual Body.

But, a seemingly ordinary youth, no, teenager, actually utilized an intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique, a Spirit Art that even cultivators at the fourth or fifth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm would envy?

"Master Mo, your True Martial has kept quite a deep secret!"

Xu Qing commented.

His tone was full of envy.

However, fortunately, True Martial Academy has limited Cultivation Resources, and its students have relatively low cultivation levels.

Otherwise, perhaps True Martial Academy would even have the capability to contend for the championship!

"Ha ha!"

Mo Han laughed heartily.

His eyes brimmed with pride.

He enjoyed this feeling of being admired.

Previously, in each tournament of the Eight Palaces, his True Martial Academy was practically invisible.

There was no sense of presence.

Anyway, any Academic Palace could easily defeat them.

"This is enough to shock you? There are many more shocking things to come!"

Mo Han thought to himself.

Ling Chen is actually a real cultivator at the Primordial Pill Realm.

And Ling Wu is the possessor of the Ice and Fire Saint Body!

"So it’s an intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique? The talent is indeed not bad! But, your level of cultivation is rather unimpressive, isn’t it?"

On the Taiwu Academy Observation Platform, Jiang Wusheng murmured under his breath.

His eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

Since they had offended Ling Chen, it might be best to just eliminate him.

Otherwise, if Ling Chen grew stronger, he could truly become a formidable enemy!

"Will the third participant from Netherworld Academy please come to the field."

Xiao Yun glanced at Ling Chen, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"I admit defeat!"

That student directly chose to admit defeat.

His strength was not much different from Hu An’s, merely a little stronger in terms of cultivation level.

He had no confidence in facing the attack of Ling Chen’s intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique!

"Will the fourth participant from Netherworld Academy, Jiang Cheng, please come to the field!"

As soon as these words fell, a figure flew out from the Observation Platform and hovered above the Star River, standing opposite Ling Chen.

"Ling junior, allow me to experience your strength!"

Jiang Cheng said.

His cultivation was at the early second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, and he possessed the Ice Spirit Body, a Super Spiritual Body.

Even though Ling Chen could wield an intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique, he believed that with his robust Spiritual Power, he should be able to defeat Ling Chen.

Great achievers do not fuss over trifles!

Although this may seem like an unsportsmanlike victory, for the glory of Netherworld Academy, there was no need to bother about these things.

"Good!"

Ling Chen smiled lightly.

This person’s cultivation was at the early second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Due to the boost of the Ice Spirit Body, his Spiritual Power was comparable to the late third layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

And Ling Chen had thus far only displayed Spiritual Power comparable to the late first layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

With this level of Spiritual Power, even if he used an intermediate Heavenly Spirit Technique, this person would be able to withstand it.

"Junior Ling, be careful!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Cheng’s body erupted with Ice Blue Spiritual Power.

With a slight grip of his right hand, a blue longsword materialized.

It was also a low-grade Spiritual Weapon.

"Holy Nether Slash!"

With a thundering shout, Jiang Cheng infused his Spiritual Power into the longsword, directly unleashing a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique attack!

In order to win by leveraging the advantage of Spiritual Power, it was imperative to seize the initiative of the battlefield!

That’s why he made the first move.

Watching the approaching Ice Blue Sword Qi slash, Ling Chen remained incredibly calm and once again executed the Sun and Moon Sword Technique’s Shattering Moon move.

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qi collided thunderously, eventually dissipating into Spiritual Energy.

In this first exchange, both contestants were evenly matched.

"Indeed!"

Seeing that his strategy was effective, a hint of joy surfaced on Jiang Cheng’s face, and he immediately unleashed another low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique to attack Ling Chen.

He was at the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, while Ling Chen was only at the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

There was a two-layer cultivation gap between them.

Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Technique he was using was low-grade, which consumed much less Spiritual Power than the mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques used by Ling Chen.

Probably before long, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power would be exhausted.

Upon this thought, Jiang Cheng’s mood soared.

Onlookers among the Cultivators quickly grasped Jiang Cheng’s intention.

"This guy is so shameless!"

"Exactly, he actually wants to deplete his opponent’s Spiritual Power with his robust Spiritual Power; what a lowlife!"

"Right, I’ve never seen such a shameless person!"

"Hmm, and the gap in cultivation levels between the two, it’s a whole major realm apart!"

...

Many were indignant on Ling Chen’s behalf.

A cultivator from the Spirit Sea Realm defeating someone from the Primordial Pill Realm represented the widely-admired genius who could overcome obstacles and fight across realms!

Moreover, it was a battle across a significant realm difference!

How could they not feel indignant that such a genius was about to be defeated in such a despicable manner, by being drained of Spiritual Power by his opponent?

In an instant, the two had clashed hundreds of times.

"How can his Spiritual Power be so abundant?"

A look of disbelief washed over Jiang Cheng’s face.

Even he felt somewhat worn out.

And he had clearly seen Ling Chen consume a significant number of Returning Essence Pills; how come his Spiritual Power was not yet depleted?

On the contrary, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power seemed inexhaustible. Despite using mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques, his movements were still fluid.

"What kind of Spiritual Technique is he cultivating? How can he metabolize Elixirs so quickly?"

Not only was Jiang Cheng dumbfounded, but even the Eight Palace Masters, students of the Academic Palace, and the Cultivators in the audience were astounded.

Spiritual Techniques, of course, have different levels.

The more powerful the Spiritual Technique, the faster the speed of metabolizing Spiritual Energy and Elixirs.

The Palace Masters began to suspect whether Ling Chen was cultivating a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

After all, they cultivated mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques and did not have such a terrifying speed of metabolization!

"Alright, I’ve played with you for so long; it’s time to end this."

Ling Chen smiled slightly at Jiang Cheng.

"Played with me?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment.

Then he sneered, "I admit your Spiritual Power is more formidable than I imagined! But do you think you can defeat me?"

"Then watch carefully, Senior Jiang!"

Ling Chen raised his right hand, his body’s Spiritual Power crazily pouring into the longsword.

"Shattering Moon!"

With a low shout in his heart, a black Sword Qi, several feet long, slashed towards Jiang Cheng once again.

"Heh, is this what you’re relying on?"

Jiang Cheng scoffed, slashing out a Sword Qi of his own.

He executed another low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qi collided again.

However, this time, they did not stalemate.

The black Sword Qi crushed the Ice Blue Sword Qi decisively and continued slashing towards Jiang Cheng.

"This is impossible!"

Watching this baffling scene, Jiang Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief and he cried out in shock.
