Chapter 819: Chapter 813: Impulse (4 Updates)

Afterward.

Under the admiring, shocked, and awe-stricken gazes of everyone, Lu Ye walked towards the area below the stage and returned to the northern position.

The other five young monsters from the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom came up to meet him, too excited to even speak.

"Keep up the good work, and don’t lose face," Lu Ye encouraged faintly, then said nothing more.

Next, the remaining five young monsters of the Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom took their turns on the stage.

Their performances were quite decent.

Among the five, aside from the young man at the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm with only a depth of one-sixteenth of an inch, the other four youths of the Ninth Layer Realm all achieved about a quarter of an inch, ranking close to Zhuu Zhenjiu.

To this point.

The ones who had not yet been tested were only Shentu Ni, Nangong Wu, and Su Chen!

These individuals were all very unique.

Su Chen was the one being targeted, and Zheng Jingyuan and Xue Shousong had made it clear that they intended to cast him into the Cold Palace. For Su Chen, there was no hope, and even testing or not testing did not make much of a difference.

Nangong Wu, an exceptionally beautiful woman, was a vision of devastating beauty. Purely in terms of appearance, she was one in a hundred billion, the number one beauty of Nan E Ancient Capital, the number one talent, the number one monster, and so on, with too many auras to name. Moreover, with only the Seventh Level of the Vault Extreme Realm, Nangong Wu was purportedly already reserved by the Lijian Sect, apparently possessing the ability to defeat those of higher levels. Furthermore, this selection competition was taking place exactly at Nan E Ancient Capital, making Nangong Wu’s position even more unique since it was her home ground.

Another was Shentu Ni, who needs no introduction, carrying the Pure Body, and as long as he does not die, he will definitely ascend to the Advanced Martial Plane and is bound to become one of the giants of the Buddha Domain in the future. He had also been designated in advance to join the First-Rank Force Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.

For a moment, a multitude of gazes drifted over Su Chen, Nangong Wu, and Shentu Ni.

"Su Chen, I’ll test first," Nangong Wu took a deep breath and said.

"Good luck," Su Chen said, and deliberately moved closer to Nangong Wu, seemingly whispering something in her ear, but in fact, he said nothing.

Not for any other reason, but for the sake of provoking Zheng Jingyuan!!!

Of course, if Nangong Wu did not detest Zheng Jingyuan, Su Chen would not have deliberately spoiled relations, but given Nangong Wu’s dislike of Zheng Jingyuan, then...

Su Chen would not miss this opportunity to infuriate and provoke Zheng Jingyuan.

Su Chen never considered himself thick-skinned.

Sometimes, being petty isn’t a bad thing.

At least, you don’t have to hold your breath!

Zheng Jingyuan’s intent to kill him was outright, so intense and pure, and he even declared that even if Su Chen passed the selection, Lijian Sect would not accept him.

It was essentially a life-and-death feud, a complete breakdown.

In this context, Su Chen’s actions became understandable.

Indeed.

Seeing Su Chen come so close to Nangong Wu and whisper something in her ear, Zheng Jingyuan’s body shuddered violently, almost losing control!!!

"Su Chen, you should die! Die!!! Die a thousand times!!!" Zheng Jingyuan’s teeth gritted with a sound that could almost explode with murderous intent.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wu shivered, although that peerless face still showed no other expression, remaining cold and detached, but her heartbeat did speed up.

She was not accustomed to someone being so close to her, and what more, Su Chen was a man of the opposite sex?

However, fortunately, Su Chen did not go too far, only closing in for a moment before stepping back, or else she might have directly attacked Su Chen.

Moreover, it didn’t take long for Nangong Wu to understand why Su Chen did that.

"Is he determined to have a life-and-death struggle with Zheng Jingyuan? Deliberately provoking Zheng Jingyuan?" Nangong Wu murmured to herself, with a sigh in her heart. She didn’t think Su Chen currently possessed the strength to fight Zheng Jingyuan.

"Too impulsive, too proud, too insane, sometimes attaining an absolute resolution requires paying an unimaginable price," thought Nangong Wu to herself.

Yet in the deepest recesses of her heart, in reality, she admired this directness, this madness, this fearlessness, this forge-ahead attitude.

So, Nangong Wu also felt somewhat conflicted.

Right now, after all, she considered Su Chen as half a friend.

After all, both hailed from the Nan’e Ancient Country, and Su Chen was the only one within the country who could measure up to her in both martial arts cultivation and talent.

She was so lonely, the kind of loneliness one feels standing atop a mountain peak. Suddenly, there was someone by her side on that mountain peak, so of course she would consider him half a friend.

Since he was half a friend, she would consider some issues for Su Chen. Rationally speaking, he should not provoke Zheng Jingyuan, even appropriately retreat. Emotionally speaking, she hoped more that Su Chen would stand tall, disregard life and death, and forge ahead, forge ahead, and forge ahead some more.

The small, subtle, intimate gesture between Su Chen and Nangong Wu had been noticed not only by Zheng Jingyuan but also by the other spectators in the hall.

A time came when many murmured in discussion:

"Indeed, that Su Chen really does have a deep relationship with Lingwu Princess."

"If it were anyone else, daring to do that, I bet Lingwu Princess would’ve taken action."

"Alas, what is Lingwu Princess thinking? Why did she take a fancy to Su Chen? Su Chen is indeed excellent, but there are plenty more who are better than him. Not to mention the Buddha Domain, just here at the scene, Shentu Ni, Shao Jian, and Lu Ye are not someone Su Chen can compare with."

"Su Chen has now been excluded by the Lijian Sect and Heavenly Imperial Sect, meaning he will definitely not be able to enter the Buddha Domain. In the future, Su Chen and Lingwu Princess will not be from the same world. It’s really not good for her to be involved with him."

"It’s said that the Young Sect Master of Lijian Sect, that Zheng Jingyuan, has taken a fancy to Lingwu Princess. By doing this, is Su Chen forcing Zheng Jingyuan to kill him? Look at Zheng Jingyuan’s eyes—they’re terrifying."

...

Amidst these swirling discussions, Nangong Wu had already stepped onto the Martial Battle Platform.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

With a thought, Nangong Wu’s mind summoned a longsword into her hands.

It was a Middle-grade Taoist Tool.

Extremely exquisite.

And extremely sharp.

Once a weapon reached the level of a Middle-grade Dao Artifact, it was intrinsically powerful, and its might depended on the strength of its wielder.

In the next moment.

Nangong Wu’s wrist, as fair as white jade, suddenly quivered, vibrating more than a hundred thousand times in an instant, wrapped in intricate, rippling, fluctuating sword techniques.

Nangong Wu’s beautiful complexion turned slightly pale, clearly indicating that this sword had somewhat exceeded the scope of her strength.

And then.

The sword moved!!!

With utter silence, it moved strangely, like a deity.

A single sword strike produced a ’one’ shaped mark upon the Divine Blood Stump.

Not too deep.

Yet, also not too shallow.

"One third of an inch!" Liu Erfu announced after measuring with the Measuring Ruler.

Liu Erfu was quite shocked.

After all, Nangong Wu was merely at the Seventh Level of Vault Extreme Realm!

Yet Nangong Wu’s test results were better than those Martial Cultivators from Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom, Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom, and East Crane Ancient Kingdom who were at the Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm.

Could it be that Nangong Wu’s actual combat power surpassed that of an average Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm?

That talent was somewhat frightening indeed.
