Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 281: Taking the Lead

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Taking the Lead

But at this moment, even Mo Han was completely baffled.

He never knew that Ling Chen’s Divine Soul had already advanced to the Transformative Realm...

A seventeen-year-old Divine Thought Master...

It was simply unheard of!

"What, a top-grade Divine Thought Master?"

The crowd at the Observation Platform heard the voice, each showing a shocked expression.

Killing without a trace, isn’t that the method of a Divine Thought Master?

But wasn’t Ling Chen just a mid-grade Divine Thought Master?

How did he suddenly become a top-grade Divine Thought Master?

However, now was not the time for them to ponder.

After all, they had witnessed the scene of Zhang Yun’s body being severed.

Ling Chen had not even used his Spiritual Power!

Students from the Observation Platforms of various Academic Palaces were equally startled.

Even the Great Xia Dynasty had never seen such a young top-grade Divine Thought Master!

At the moment everyone was in shock, Ling Chen moved swiftly, appearing next to Zhang Yun’s corpse, taking the latter’s ring and also collecting two mid-grade Spiritual Weapons into his own ring.

"Senior Brother Chen, rest in peace! Your junior has avenged you!"

Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the stars of the river.

Chen Yichen’s demise was mainly due to his own carelessness.

Ling Chen had repeatedly persuaded him, even lending him a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon to protect himself.

He had tried his best.

If he had not been reckless, he wouldn’t have been killed by Zhang Yun.

Of course, it was also a bit related to Ling Chen.

If Ling Chen hadn’t conflicted with Zhang Yun, perhaps Chen Yichen would not have met his demise.

However, he had already slain Zhang Yun and avenged Chen Yichen.

Such effort, and yet two contestants had fallen.

This scene left Xiao Yun stunned for a long while before he could react.

"Next contestant from Taiwu Academy, please take the stage!"

Xiao Yun looked warily at Ling Chen, involuntarily stepping back a few steps before speaking.

"Hold on!"

Just then, Taiwu Academy’s Palace Master Zhao Tianwu spoke coldly from the Observation Platform.

"Master Zhao, what’s the matter?"

Xiao Yun asked promptly.

"This lad is suspected of deliberate murder, I suggest we capture him and await judgment."

Zhao Tianwu’s tone was filled with murderous intent.

"Hmph!"

Mo Han snorted coldly, "Master Zhao, your student can kill mine. But when your own student is inferior and dies, it’s my student’s deliberate murder? What a big joke!"

Zhao Tianwu glanced at Mo Han and said, "Master Mo, have you gone deaf? Didn’t Zhang Yun just shout his surrender? Since Zhang Yun had already surrendered, this youngster still acted, isn’t that a violation of the duel rules and intentional murder?"

Mo Han was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Master Zhao, are you blind? I acted before Zhang Yun surrendered!"

At that moment, Ling Chen’s voice rang out.

"You little beast, what did you say?"

Zhao Tianwu glared furiously at Ling Chen.

A mere student daring to disrespect him, a Palace Master?

"Old dog, listen well, I said you’re blind as a dog! Understand?"

Ling Chen said fearlessly.

At those words, nearly everyone was stunned.

Ling Chen actually directly called Zhao Tianwu an old dog?

That was way too bold!

"You’re seeking death!"

Zhao Tianwu’s body trembled, and his immense Spiritual Power roared out, ready to charge towards Ling Chen.

"Zhao Tianwu, you’ve gone too far!"

Mo Han also erupted with Spiritual Power, stopping Zhao Tianwu.

Both were Cultivators at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, hence Mo Han was not afraid of Zhao Tianwu.

"Mo Han, get out of my way. This little beast insulted me, how can I spare him?"

Zhao Tianwu stared coldly at Mo Han.

"Zhao Tianwu, this is not a place where you can act recklessly. Not your turn to discipline my students!"

Mo Han stood firm.

Ling Chen looked at Zhao Tianwu and sneered, "Old Dog Zhao, you falsely accused me of intentional murder, plotting my death. Calling you names is letting you off easy, I even want to kill you!"

This old dog twists the truth, yet dares frame him with a charge of intentional murder? Ridiculous!

"Mo Han, get out of my way. Today, I must kill this kid!"

Zhao Tianwu was trembling with rage.

As a Palace Master, when had he ever been pointed at and scolded? And even threatened by a mere student?

He couldn’t stand this insult!

If he didn’t pursue this matter, he would lose face forever!

"Palace Master, let this old dog go. I want to see what a mere old dog can do to me."

Ling Chen spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Was Ling Chen planning to fight Zhao Tianwu?

Even Mo Han was bewildered.

It was already too much that Zhao Tianwu asked him to step away, but why was Ling Chen doing the same?

He was clearly helping Ling Chen, so why was he being rejected?

After all, Zhao Tianwu was a sixth-level Cultivator in the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Such an arrogant little beast! Don’t think just being a top-notch junior Divine Thought Master makes you invincible? I’ll show you that there are always stronger people in this world!"

Having said that, he looked at Mo Han and said, "Master Mo, can you step aside now?"

Just then, on the Observation Platform, a figure like a ghost appeared in front of Zhao Tianwu.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed.

Then, Zhao Tianwu’s body was sent flying dozens of meters, his right cheek swollen high, his mouth corner cracked, and blood flowed continuously.

This sudden scene left everyone stunned again.

All eyes turned to the ghost-like figure and now they saw clearly, it was none other than Taiwu Academy’s Lord Chi!

"Lord Chi..."

Zhao Tianwu, clutching his cheek, was baffled.

He simply couldn’t understand why Chi Shen would hit him.

Xu Qing, Li Xuan, and other Palace Masters were completely clueless too.

Lord Chi, known for his calmness, why was he so impulsive this time?

This should have been more likely done by Master Ye Fan.

Chi Shen looked at Zhao Tianwu and said coldly, "Zhao Tianwu, we are not blind. We see clearly whether Ling Chen intended murder or not. It’s not something you can manipulate with a few words. Ling Chen attacked first, and Zhang Yun surrendered later. After his surrender, Ling Chen made no further moves."

"Damn, this guy beat me to it again!"

At that moment, Ye Fan from Xing Xue Academy secretly cursed in his heart.

He flashed a slight smile at Ling Chen before turning to Zhao Tianwu, his smile instantly turned cold, "Zhao Tianwu, I know you’re upset because your student died. But I hope you can be rational, learn more from Master Mo. If you find the position of Palace Master boring, you can pursue what you want, many are eyeing this position. If you find this world too dull, I can send you on your way too!"

"Besides, let me tell you, just a piece of trash, dead is dead, it’s not a big deal."

Seeing two top Academy Elders step forward, everyone understood what was happening.

Clearly, both Elders valued Ling Chen!

Such a young Divine Thought Master genius is extremely rare in the Great Xia Dynasty, right?

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be that one Elder slapped Zhao Tianwu while the other’s tone was filled with threats!

And at this moment, of course, Mo Han understood the intentions of the two Elders, his face filled with excitement.
