Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 269: Clever and Obedient

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Clever and Obedient

Luo Yue’s face changed drastically, and she said sharply, "Where did you get that mid-grade Spiritual Weapon?"

Her mid-grade Spiritual Weapon was lent to her by Palace Master Cheng Yuan.

Previously, Ye Zhenzhen had revealed a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, which, even if lent by Palace Master Mo Han, would only be in Ye Zhenzhen’s hands.

How could Ling Chen have one?

When her gaze fell on the black longsword in Ling Chen’s hand, her beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock.

This mid-grade Spiritual Weapon was unmistakably the one used by Ye Zhenzhen!

Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "How I got it seems like none of your business, right?"

"Hey, is that really the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon of Ye Zhenzhen?"

"Ling Chen must have foreseen this!"

"Haha! The Netherworld Academy is at a loss now!"

"Yes! True Martial Academy is about to achieve another feat of defeating five opponents in a row!"

...

Countless watching cultivators excitedly started discussing.

Defeating the weak with strength is to be expected.

Only by the weak overcoming the strong does it become intriguing!

Luo Yue trembled with rage, originally thinking that holding a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon meant certain victory.

Little did she know, Ling Chen had a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon too!

Now we’re getting somewhere; her attack power was already a notch weaker than Ling Chen’s, and with both wielding mid-grade Spiritual Weapons, the situation remained unchanged.

She had even planned to avenge Jiang Cheng, and now she couldn’t even protect herself.

On the main observation platform, Palace Master Cheng Yuan’s face turned green instantly.

Earlier, he had rejoiced at his own wisdom in lending the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon to Luo Yue.

Now, he found that such a move was utterly superfluous.

No wonder Mo Han didn’t show a trace of concern; he probably knew all along that Ling Chen also possessed a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon.

Luo Yue’s expression fluctuated between dark and light, her eyes fixated on Ling Chen.

"Continue, or admit defeat?"

Ling Chen lifted his longsword, his left hand idly flicking it a few times.

His calm and nonchalant manner clearly showed he didn’t take Luo Yue seriously.

"Conti—"

Luo Yue barely spoke when Ling Chen interrupted her.

Ling Chen spoke up: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I accidentally broke through to the Primordial Pill Realm last night!"

With that said, Ling Chen retracted the two levitating spiritual weapons under his feet into his spatial ring.

And he still stood suspended in the air.

The aura of the Primordial Pill Realm was spreading from him.

"Primordial Pill Realm?"

Luo Yue’s eyes narrowed.

Being the closest to Ling Chen, she naturally sensed the aura of the Primordial Pill emanating from him.

If Ling Chen were still in the Spirit Sea Realm, she might have some confidence to fight.

But now that Ling Chen advanced to the Primordial Pill Realm with even stronger Spiritual Power.

How could she, who couldn’t even withstand Ling Chen’s Spirit Sea Realm power, block the Spiritual Power of the true Primordial Pill Realm?

She did think about defeating Ling Chen with her movement technique.

However, considering Ling Chen’s physique that was several times stronger than Yuan Hong’s, she lost all confidence.

Moreover, Ling Chen had mastered the mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique and had even comprehended the Spiritual Technique True Intent.

With such a talent, it was clear he must have mastered the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique.

After all, cultivating the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique is easier than the mid-grade attack Heavenly Spirit Technique!

"I... admit defeat!"

In the end, Luo Yue had no choice but to admit defeat, helplessly.

Watching this scene, the observing cultivators were astonished.

Isn’t this too much of a farce?

First, the two exchanged tentative strikes, then they started revealing their trump cards.

You have a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon?

Oh, what a coincidence, so do I.

Sorry, my cultivation is not limited to the Spirit Sea Realm.

Oh, then I admit defeat.

Thus, the fifth competitor from the Netherworld Academy dramatically chose to admit defeat.

Watching Luo Yue leave in a huff, the students of True Martial Academy showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

Ling Chen made a move and flew back to the True Martial Academy’s Observation Platform.

And now, countless gazes were directed towards Ling Chen.

Even the Palace Masters on the main observation platform were no exception.

After all, even they had not sensed that Ling Chen was concealing his cultivation level.

Had it not been for Ling Chen’s voluntary revelation, they would still believe he was a Cultivator of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Geniuses like Qin Shi and Jiang Wusheng also turned their attention towards Ling Chen.

Initially, they didn’t take Ling Chen seriously at all.

However, Ling Chen single-handedly defeated the entire Netherworld Academy.

Including Luo Yue, who was in the second layer of the Mid Primordial Pill Realm.

Moreover, it seemed that Ling Chen harbored endless secrets.

In one competition, Ling Chen displayed an incredibly strong physique, a terrifying talent for Spirit Arts, and a powerful ability to hide his strength.

Although Ling Chen still didn’t seem like much in their eyes now,

They had become quite intrigued by him.

"I announce, in the match between Netherworld Academy and True Martial Academy, True Martial Academy wins!"

At this moment, Xiao Yun declared loudly.

He gave Ling Chen a meaningful look.

Clearly, even he hadn’t seen through Ling Chen before Ling Chen revealed his status as a Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator.

"Isn’t this too hasty?"

Many of the observing Cultivators felt the match was unfinished.

Ling Chen hadn’t fully displayed the true strength of the Primordial Pill Realm before he claimed victory in this match.

The second contender from True Martial Academy actually achieved a miraculous feat by defeating five opponents!

Was this really the True Martial Academy that had always been at the bottom in previous competitions?

Next up was the fourth match.

Mighty Martial Academy against Taiyi Academy.

This match was completely without suspense.

Taiyi Academy only fielded two players, who defeated all five competitors from the Mighty Martial Academy.

With the conclusion of this match, the second day’s competitions drew to a close.

Yunqi Inn.

Zi Lingyang, Zi Ling’er, and Qin Shi came for a visit.

"Young Master Ling, congratulations!"

Zi Lingyang came over to celebrate with Ling Chen.

"Congratulations to you as well! Didn’t Young Master Zi also defeat Tianluo Academy by yourself?"

Ling Chen smiled in response.

Zi Lingyang laughed, "Mine was nothing. My cultivation level is higher than theirs, after all! However, Young Master Ling, the mere reveal of your hidden card frightened the opponent into surrendering – now that truly was stunning!"

"Heh, it’s nothing."

Ling Chen said modestly.

"Young Master Ling is too humble."

Qin Shi said with a smile.

Ling Chen laughed, "How can I compare to Young Master Qin? We haven’t even seen you take action yet!"

"Heh, there will be an opportunity."

Qin Shi’s tone shifted, "I wonder where Young Master Ling’s mentor is from?"

A mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique would not be taught by the Eight Great Academies.

And Ling Chen, possessing such powerful Spirit Arts, must have an astonishing background.

Either from a powerful family or a powerful faction, or possibly instructed by a reclusive master.

Ling Chen immediately understood what Qin Shi was asking and smiled, "My master is a reclusive individual, unknown to the world; even if I mentioned his name, Young Master Qin wouldn’t recognize it."

"Oh."

Qin Shi nodded, "With a disciple like you, your master is certainly no ordinary person!"

"Where?"

Ling Chen shook his head, "My master is just an obscure figure and not someone who would catch the eye of the Young Master."

Seeing that no useful information would come of further questioning, Qin Shi didn’t pursue it.

At this moment, Zi Ling’er gave Ling Chen a ceremonious bow, "Thank you for the Star Soul Fruit, Young Master."

A few days ago, Zi Lingyang had handed the Star Soul Fruit to Zi Ling’er, who had been busy refining it and missed two rounds of the eight academies’ competition.

Now that she had finally refined it, she immediately came to thank Ling Chen.

"Lady Zi is too polite, it was your due reward."

Ling Chen nodded.

He could see that Zi Ling’er’s Divine Soul had reached the Peak of the Solid Realm, and she was not far from the transformational phase.

Looking at Zi Ling’er’s demeanor, Zi Lingyang’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light.

With Zi Ling’er’s normally arrogant and willful character, who would have imagined she could be so well-behaved?
