Chapter 559: Chapter 553: Enemies Meet (4 updates)

Meanwhile.

At the Great Cang Martial Training Ground, after being quiet for over a hundred breaths!!!

A tidal wave of applause erupted like madness.

This applause was for Su Chen.

In the Divine Martial Continent, strength earns respect, and those with strength win honor.

The Third Prince and the Seventh Princess also made their way over.

"Brother Su, that was domineering!" the Third Prince said with a smile. His demeanor had become much more modest, as if he’d truly forgotten his identity as the Third Prince.

And the proud, unwelcoming chill of the Seventh Princess had lessened by a third. Beneath her mask, her beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Su Chen, clearly curious.

"Third Prince, you flatter me!" Su Chen said with a smile. "I still have to thank the Third Prince..."

Without the Third Prince, the Chu Jing Gang probably wouldn’t have agreed to let him go on stage after being late.

It was at this moment that the Chu Jing Gang spoke up, "The first round has ended, so the second round begins. The rules for the second round are similar to the first, still one-on-one battles. However, the opponents for the second round will be determined by drawing lots."

As soon as the Chu Jing Gang announced this, the Xuaanwu Academy side was dismayed!

Although they had several Martial Cultivators advancing to the second round, at least four, apart from Wu Zhen, they were not very strong, quite weak in fact.

If it were still the first round’s rules, at least the two Shentong Realm Ninth Level, Liu Jianxue and Wang Zhee, could have faced opponents of the same Ninth Level of Divine Power, and they might’ve had a chance to advance further.

But with the rules having changed, the fourteen participants of the second round would draw lots, meaning each person could potentially face any other person as their opponent.

A Ninth Level of Divine Power could end up facing a Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse.

With bad luck, Liu Jianxue and Wang Zhee might both encounter Jun Luoying.

What was more cruel was that with this method of drawing lots, it was even possible for comrades to end up facing each other.

"Now let’s proceed with the drawing of lots. There are a total of fourteen lots, marked with 1, 2, 3...14. After drawing, number 1 will face number 14, number 2 will face number 13, and so on until number 7 faces number 8. There will be seven pairs of combatants!" continued the Chu Jing Gang, indeed holding a bunch of metal lots in his hand.

Then.

He raised his hand.

Immediately.

The fourteen lots soared into the sky, swirling and mixing, then each one flew toward the fourteen competitors including Su Chen, Jun Luoying, Xuu Jian, and the others.

Su Chen caught one of the lots.

And saw.

There was the number 7 on the lot.

"The best draw, not bad, a good lot!" Su Chen said with a smile. Being the final act isn’t too bad.

Soon, the drawn numbers for all fourteen people were revealed.

Number 1, Liu Jianxue.

Number 2, Xue Jiu.

Number 3, Xiaao Wu.

Number 4, Xuu Jian.

Number 5, Wang Chong.

Number 6, Zhang Zhe.

Number 7, Su Chen.

Number 8, Cheng Yue.

Number 9, Yao Xi.

Number 10, Feng Teng.

Number 11, Chen Mei.

Number 12, Jun Luoying.

Number 13, Wu Zhen.

Number 14, Zhang Zhe.

The groupings had become quite clear.

Among the seven major battles, the most attention-grabbing was undoubtedly that between Xue Jiu and Wu Zhen. Both of them were extremely powerful combatants. Wu Zhen didn’t need to be mentioned; the title of Xuanwu Reaper wasn’t for nothing, while Xue Jiu had already demonstrated terrifying combat power in the first round against Zhu Xie. Their battle was bound to be thrilling.

Another eye-catching match was between Su Chen and Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue was firmly the fourth strongest, just behind Jun Luoying, Xu Jian, and Wu Zhen, while Su Chen was the dark horse who had created miracles. Naturally, their clash was highly anticipated, especially since some Martial Cultivators were aware of Su Chen’s dispute with Cheng Royal Mansion, which only heightened their expectations.

Beyond these two matches, the outcomes of the others seemed more obvious, such as Xiaoo Wu facing Jun Luoying or Chen Mei confronting Xu Jian, or they were battles like Liu Jianxue versus Zhang Zhe at the Ninth Level of Divine Power Realm.

Once the groupings were announced, from a distance, Cheng Yue looked towards Su Chen, his eyes filled with a chilling intent!!!

Cheng Yue’s father had already spoken to him privately about the matter between Su Chen and Cheng Royal Mansion.

He had been worried he wouldn’t encounter him.

The members of Cheng Royal Mansion were also excited. Cheng Haohan and Cheng Qin’s faces were flushed with anticipation.

"Big brother, can second brother teach that kid a lesson?" Cheng Qin asked quietly.

"Definitely no problem, don’t be fooled by that brat’s recent victory with a single punch over Sui Zhi. Think about it, second brother’s strength is far beyond what Sui Zhi could compare to!" Cheng Haohan said confidently, his voice low and full of certainty.

"That’s good!" Cheng Qin’s face still bore some whip marks, and she gave a slightly ferocious and resentful glance at Su Chen.

At this moment, Chen Jianqiong was slightly frowning, "Su Chen, are you confident?"

Su Chen nodded.

"Do you know who Cheng Yue is?" Chen Jianqiong was worried that Su Chen was unaware of Cheng Yue’s strength.

"I know!" A Beast Skin Booklet appeared in Su Chen’s hand. He hadn’t looked through it much yet, but now he had time to give it a quick browse.

As expected, there was a detailed description of Cheng Yue in the booklet.

Yesterday, Qin Li had mentioned Cheng Yue, saying that he was a powerhouse at the Eighth Level of the Divine Power Realm but possessed the strength to defeat those at the First Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Yet, today it was evident that Cheng Yue had reached the Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm.

The description in the Beast Skin Booklet also placed Cheng Yue at the Eighth Level of the Divine Power Realm.

This meant that Cheng Yue could have made a last-minute breakthrough to the Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm last night or this morning to prepare for today’s tournament.

In other words, Cheng Yue had been suppressing his Realm for a long time and could breakthrough at a moment’s notice.

This was terrifying enough.

"Has consumed Thunder Lion’s Essence Blood!" Su Chen noticed this line. The Thunder Lion was no small fry; it, too, was an Ancient Behemoth, ranked quite highly.

Usually, any Demon Beast with traces of bloodline from Ancient or Primordial Ancient Times was not to be trifled with.

"Extremely belligerent, relishes battle to the death, once survived alone in a fifth-grade Demon Beast Mountain Range for seven months!"

The introduction to Cheng Yue was extensive, summarizing him as a crazily strong lunatic!!!

After reading the introduction to Cheng Yue, Su Chen remained calm, while the battles on the Martial Battle Platform had already begun.

Liu Jianxue and Zhang Zhe were fighting fiercely.

Their battle was quite exciting, with no clear victor.

Unfortunately, Su Chen wasn’t at all interested. Not just him, but many of the Martial Cultivators watching weren’t too keen either.

"Brother Su, when you fight Cheng Yue next, you must be careful. If you really can’t win, just admit defeat!" Qin Li softly cautioned, "You have a feud with Cheng Royal Mansion..."

Qin Li was worried that Cheng Yue might go too far.

"Mhm!" Su Chen nodded but didn’t say much.

A mere Cheng Yue, what was he worth?

He was aiming for the first place.

Even without integrating the mysterious Beast Bones, he was confident he could crush Cheng Yue; now that he had merged with those bones, the outcome was even more obvious.

Of course, he didn’t elaborate on this to Qin Li. Everything would be settled once the battle started, and they would let the facts speak for themselves.

Soon.

The first duel ended!!!

Zhang Zhe narrowly won.

The second match began.

This second match was Xue Jiu against Wu Zhen.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the Martial Training Field surged.

Even Su Chen was interestedly eyeing the platform.
