Chapter 314: 308 Could there be a Hidden Card (Massive Update 2)

He seemed to catch Zhuang Xiao’s fist effortlessly, like a god or a demon, as if he hadn’t expended much strength...

But, in fact, he had used all his strength, even converting both Soul Power and Mysterious Qi into Physical Strength. It was only with great difficulty that he barely managed to catch the punch, really barely.

Just now, in that instant, his throat turned sweet and a mouthful of fresh blood surged up, but he forced himself to swallow it down.

"So you see, never underestimate the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!" Jiuyou said with a smile, "And this is just a top talent from a Subsidiary Plane to the Earth plane. What if it was a top talent from the Divine Martial Continent, or even from an Advanced Martial Plane? You can imagine! Did you think before that Zhuang Xiao was at most about the same as Wu Wutian, or even not as good as Wu Wutian?"

Su Chen fell silent.

His previous judgment was indeed that Zhuang Xiao was at most on par with Wu Wutian; after all, both of them were infinitely close to the Heavenly Eminent Realm but had not yet reached it.

Moreover, Wu Wutian came from the Divine Martial Continent, while Zhuang Xiao was from the Longwu Continent, a Subsidiary Plane to the Divine Martial Continent.

But who would have thought...

He was wrong.

Completely wrong.

Zhuang Xiao was several times more powerful than Wu Wutian.

Seeing the confusion on Su Chen’s face, Jiuyou explained, "The reason is simple. Although Wu Wutian comes from the Divine Martial Continent, he is actually mediocre among the youths there, ranking maybe within the billion or even ten billion. His Martial Cultivation Realm was entirely built up from the dense Spiritual Energy of the Divine Martial Continent and the Wu Family’s cultivation resources. But Zhuang Xiao is different; he’s at least one of the top few super geniuses on the Longwu Continent! Like you, his actual combat power far exceeds his own realm! His foundation is extremely solid! In fact, if you compare him with yourself, you’ll know. Your actual combat power also far exceeds your realm!"

"I understand now," Su Chen nodded slightly.

In his heart, the pride he had accumulated over this period had suddenly calmed down.

His path of martial arts cultivation was still so very long!!!

He still needed to continue to strive and work hard to improve.

No wonder Wuo Tongtian emphasized so strongly that he must keep a low profile in Divine Human City...

At this moment, Su Chen was reflecting, unsatisfied with his own strength, but what he didn’t know was... what kind of cognitive shock had the other people around him fallen into?

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Zhuang Xiao had used all his strength in that punch, without holding back at all.

Under such circumstances, shouldn’t Su Chen have been turned to dust, instantly reduced to ashes?

How did he manage to stop it?!

It was like a dream!

Normally, even Martial Cultivators with roughly equal strength wouldn’t be able to stop such a punch without stepping back, without any preparation, without releasing any Mysterious Qi, would they?

"Indeed, he doesn’t lack a Dantian, nor is he ignorant of life and death. He has his own confidence and hidden cards!" Miss Yan thought to herself, and under her veil, her beautiful eyes took a deep look at Su Chen, flashing with interest.

She had heard that Earth was a Low Martial Plane, the Shame of Divine Martial, the weakest among the Subsidiary Planes to the Divine Martial Continent.

So far, in any session of Divine Ladder assessments, the so-called geniuses from the Earth plane have been the absolute last, undeniably the bottom of the roster, and far below the penultimate one by a completely different league.

Overall, those so-called geniuses from the Earth plane, if placed on the Longwu Continent or True Profound Continent, wouldn’t even count as geniuses, not even as ordinary Martial Cultivators, but as the lowest of the low.

If that was the case, then what exactly was going on right now?

Although in her eyes, Zhuang Xiao was someone she could easily kill with a wave of her hand.

But Zhuang Xiao was after all a genuine talent capable of ranking within the top twenty or so in this session’s participants!

How did such a situation arise? She couldn’t understand but was also somewhat curious to find out.

A moment later.

"You’re asking for death!!!" Zhuang Xiao’s face turned red with rage, almost going mad. He wanted to show off, especially in front of Miss Yan, but he hadn’t expected...

That he would fail to do so.

Defeated by a mere ant?

Damn!

Damn!!

Damn!!!

Zhuang Xiao had never felt such intense fury and overwhelming evil Qi; he had lost his reason.

"Clang!"

Amidst the crisp sound of metal, Zhuang Xiao drew his sword.

This sword was naturally his Superior Spiritual Artifact, the Sui Xuan.

But then.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

No sooner had the sword been drawn than Sword Intent soared into the sky, creating a tempest that furiously swept in all directions, tearing everything apart.

It was as if the entire world had been pulled into the sword’s domain.

The dominant, overbearing, and sharp essence crazily spread, causing many of the onlooking Martial Cultivators to involuntarily shrink their necks.

For the likes of Wuo Yang and Wuo Mang, who were too weak, the moment they were struck by the Sui Xuan’s sword Qi, they could not hold back any longer!

"Thump thump!"

The two immediately fell prostrate on the ground, curling up, wishing they could find a hole to burrow into...

Zhuang Xiao’s strength was ranked around the twentieth among the geniuses participating in this assessment, which was already terrifying, but even more terrifying was his weapon, which was likely ranked in the top ten.

A Superior Spiritual Artifact was indeed extremely, extremely rare. Even on the Divine Martial Continent, it was considered extraordinarily uncommon.

The reason why Zhuang Xiao possessed a Superior Spiritual Artifact as his weapon was that he had a sufficiently significant background. His father was the sect master of one of the three Great Sects on the Longwu Continent, the Wushi Sect.

"Not good..." As Zhuang Xiao drew his sword, Miss Yan slightly furrowed her brows. She was well aware of Zhuang Xiao’s sword. It was very powerful. With Zhuang Xiao drawing his sword, Su Chen was definitely in danger.

Deep down, she did not want Su Chen to die here.

Because she was somewhat interested in Su Chen; an existence from the Earth plane that was not too shabby, definitely a genius among geniuses. If such a genius were to die here, without even participating in the Divine Ladder assessment, it would be a pity.

However, she soon relaxed her brows because, to her surprise, Su Chen remained expressionless, showing no hint of panic or fear, still as confident as ever.

Could it be that Su Chen still had a hidden card?

She suppressed the urge to scold Zhuang Xiao to stop and to save Su Chen, and from beneath her veil, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, intently fixing on Su Chen.

It was at that second.

Su Chen could no longer afford the slightest hesitation. All his Mysterious Qi Force and Physical Strength were, in that instant, converted into Soul Power!

He cast his Soul Technique.

Su Chen’s eyes blazed with piercing light, shooting directly at Zhuang Xiao, "Scram!!!"

The word roared like the cry of a fierce tiger.

With the sound, silently and invisibly, the Soul Power was terrifying, like a sharp and fierce thread, shooting straight for Zhuang Xiao’s Soul Sea.

A thousandth of a breath later.

"You... you... ahhh..." Zhuang Xiao’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, his eyes bulging, almost bursting forth, filled with shock and fear as he stared fixedly at Su Chen.

And the Sui Xuan Heavy Saber in his hand, in that moment, fell from his grasp.
