Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 268: Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon, Who Doesn’t Have One?

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon, Who Doesn’t Have One?

The observing cultivators were all dumbstruck by this scene.

Ling Chen was still using a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, so why was the power so immense this time?

The originally evenly-matched situation was suddenly shattered.

What they couldn’t understand was that the technique Ling Chen used seemed no different from before.

"This is..."

"Spiritual Technique True Intent!"

On the Observation Platform, Ye Fan of True Martial Academy and Chi Shen, the Elder, exchanged a glance and then exclaimed in shock.

"Spiritual Technique True Intent?!"

Hearing these four words, Li Xuan, Xu Qing, and several other Palace Masters finally came to their senses, their pupils filled with astonishment.

Merely at the Spirit Sea Realm, not only had he successfully cultivated a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, but he had also grasped the true intent of the Spiritual Technique?

Such talent was truly astounding!

However, at this moment, Jiang Cheng had no time to consider what bizarre methods Ling Chen had used, for he now had to face this terrifying onslaught of Sword Qi!

"Block it for me!"

Jiang Cheng bellowed angrily, and streams of Spiritual Power howled out, forming three layers of defense in front of him.

At the same time, he channeled Spiritual Power into his longsword, generating a burst of Sword Qi.

However, all of his efforts were in vain.

The black Sword Qi, carrying an unmatched presence, crushed the final wave of Sword Qi Jiang Cheng had generated and then consecutively broke through the three layers of Spiritual Power Defense, finally pouring all its force onto Jiang Cheng’s chest.

"Bang!"

Jiang Cheng’s body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, hurtling toward the distance.

"Ah!"

He let out a scream while still in the air.

He barely regained control of his body just before plunging into the Star Luo River.

But by then, a deep, bone-exposing wound had appeared on his chest.

Agonizing pain radiated from the wound, contorting his face into a grimace.

He hastily circulated his Spiritual Power to seal the wound and stop the bleeding.

He also took a Healing Pill.

"Do you concede?"

Ling Chen’s voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

"I concede!"

Hearing Ling Chen’s inquiry, he hastily replied.

With a single strike inflicting such a grievous injury, how dare he hesitate?

Another strike might cost him his life right there!

Jiang Cheng quickly flew toward the Netherworld Academy’s Observation Platform.

"How did he do it?"

Most of the observing cultivators still had not grasped how Ling Chen had defeated Jiang Cheng and began to discuss fervently.

However, these cultivators didn’t even have the qualifications to ascend the Observation Platform, and their insight was limited.

Moreover, the distance was too great for them to understand.

Looking at Jiang Cheng, who was now sitting cross-legged to heal, Palace Master Cheng Yuan of the Netherworld Academy’s eyes flickered with a hint of pain.

"Master Mo, this student Ling Chen really has some ruthless moves!"

Cheng Yuan spoke coldly.

Originally, he had thought Ling Chen was just a substitute participant, but who would have expected Ling Chen to reveal such strength that he was on par with Ye Zhenzhen!

Mo Han chuckled: "Palace Master Cheng, combat in a contest naturally carries risks, and injuries are inevitable. If one is afraid, they simply should not participate. The students in my academy have relatively lower Cultivation levels; if they do not go all out, they might end up in an even worse state than your student!"

"Yes! Palace Master Cheng, you’re well aware of the rules of the Eight Palaces Martial Tournament. It was stated at the beginning that the rules would be brutal. Thankfully, this student only suffered a superficial injury and his cultivation foundation was not harmed."

Xu Qing smiled.

The other Palace Masters also chimed in one after another.

The rules had been clear that there might be a risk of death, and now that it was just an injury, to grumble would be unbecoming of a Palace Master.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan fell silent.

"Please welcome the fifth participant from the Netherworld Academy to the stage!"

Xiao Yun declared loudly.

As his voice fell, Luo Yue stood up, glanced at Jiang Cheng, and said, "Junior Brother, rest assured, I will avenge you!"

"Sister!"

Jiang Cheng quickly opened his eyes and said, "Ling Chen’s attack power is still above yours!"

They had sparred before, and Jiang Cheng had personally felt Luo Yue’s attacks, so he could naturally make the judgment.

"Junior, rest assured, your senior sister still has other methods!"

As she spoke, Luo Yue transformed into a streak of light and burst towards the sky.

Her gaze was cold as she stared at Ling Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of chill.

She didn’t speak but firmly locked onto Ling Chen.

"Begin!"

Following Xiao Yun’s command, Luo Yue finally spoke: "Boy, time to die!"

"Boom!"

Luo Yue’s delicate body shuddered, and an extremely mighty Spiritual Power erupted.

She was at the mid-stage of the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm and possessed a Dual Attribute Spiritual Body of wind and thunder; each type of Spiritual Power was comparable to the early stage of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

A stream of purple Spiritual Power surged into the silver longsword in her hand.

"Holy Nether Slash!"

Luo Yue didn’t bother with testing and directly used a low-tier Heavenly Spirit Technique.

The same Spirit Art, when executed by Luo Yue, saw a dramatic increase in power!

Watching the purple Sword Qi, Ling Chen remained unconcerned.

"Shattering Moon!"

He once again displayed a mid-tier Heavenly Spirit Technique, shattering the purple Sword Qi.

However, when the black Sword Qi continued towards Luo Yue, it slashed at empty air.

Turns out, after Luo Yue had launched that Sword Qi, she had already utilized the green Wind Spiritual Power to dodge far away.

"The power is indeed very strong!"

A chill flashed in Luo Yue’s eyes.

Her attack just now was to test just how strong Ling Chen’s attacks truly were.

Although Jiang Cheng had told her, she still had to test it personally to be sure.

"Boy, today, you will pay for your previous actions!" Luo Yue looked at Ling Chen, her voice full of icy chill.

"Price?"

Ling Chen smiled indifferently.

Luo Yue said coldly, "Don’t think I can’t do anything to you just because you’ve mastered the Spiritual Technique True Intent!"

She had already understood why Ling Chen’s attack power had suddenly surged.

Speaking, she spread open her jade hand, and the silver short sword disappeared, replaced by a silver longsword.

"Mid-tier Spiritual Weapon?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed as he immediately recognized it.

"Correct!"

A murderous intent appeared in Luo Yue’s eyes as she said, "Today, I will use this mid-tier Spiritual Weapon to make you pay. As for whether you live or die, that will depend on your own fate!"

"What, a mid-tier Spiritual Weapon?"

The observing cultivators exclaimed in shock.

Nobody thought that a cultivator at the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, in order to deal with a cultivator of the Spirit Sea Realm, would actually use a mid-tier Spiritual Weapon!

On the Observation Platform.

Master Mo turned to Palace Master Cheng and smiled, "Palace Master Cheng, you’re quite something! You even let your student use your mid-tier Spiritual Weapon!"

"So what?"

Cheng Yuan’s mouth curled, "Did the rules of the Eight Palaces martial contest say you can’t borrow someone else’s weapon?"

Indeed, the silver longsword in Luo Yue’s hands was Cheng Yuan’s weapon.

"This is bad, Ling Chen is in danger!"

"Yeah! That competitor Ye Zhenzhen from True Martial Academy also had a mid-tier Spiritual Weapon, right? It’d be good if Ling Chen had taken it from her earlier!"

"With cultivation, Spiritual Power, and weaponry all completely overpowering Ling Chen, is he going to lose?"

"Hmm, I thought Ling Chen could achieve a consecutive five victories."

...

Many of the observing cultivators sighed for Ling Chen.

Ling Chen remained utterly calm, looking at Luo Yue across from him, "Isn’t it just a mid-tier Spiritual Weapon? Who doesn’t have one?"

His hand flashed with light, and he put away his low-tier Spiritual Weapon into his storage ring, and then a black longsword appeared.

Looking at the aura, it was clearly a mid-tier Spiritual Weapon!
