Chapter 54

As Wang Chen quickened his steps and changed his movements, he gradually broke free from the dangerous situation, using the agility of the Ghost Steps to dodge the opponent's attacks and avoid direct confrontations.

"How long do you think you can keep dodging!" After attacking for so long without defeating Wang Chen, Luo Lin became somewhat angry.

A mere Seventh Stage Body Tempering martial artist could actually hold out for so long against his Ninth Stage Body Tempering attacks, which surprised Luo Lin.

"It seems the information about Xiang Qiankan was incomplete!" Thinking about this, Luo Lin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Xiang Qiankan? Hearing Luo Lin's words, Wang Chen frowned. This guy had indeed used his information for a trade, which made him somewhat depressed.

"Feiyun Leg!" Taking advantage of Wang Chen's momentary daze, Luo Lin's lips curled into a sinister smile. With a light shout, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, twisted his waist, and turned his hips, using the forward momentum to kick out fiercely!

Seeing the sudden change, Wang Chen was startled, realizing he had been careless, not expecting to be distracted during such a battle.

Seeing the leg coming at him like a cannonball, hearing the sharp whistling sound, he quickly dodged backward.

"Shiushi Leg!" Immediately, he used the counterforce to counterattack with equal force. If he continued to dodge, the opponent would seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, making it difficult to turn the tide.

"Bang..."

The two legs collided, producing a dull explosion.

Instantly, a severe pain spread from his calf to his entire body, making Wang Chen gasp and groan as he retreated.

On the opposite side, Luo Lin, clearly not expecting his full-force kick to be blocked by Wang Chen, also staggered backward in shock.

"This is it!" Seeing this, Wang Chen took a deep breath, his face grave.

"Qingguang Burst!" With a roar, his true essence surged wildly, causing a strong wind to rise around him. The surrounding essence energy rapidly gathered into his palm.

To quickly end the battle, he might have to use the Qingguang Burst. If he continued to delay, it might attract the attention of others, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Since learning the Qingguang Burst, Wang Chen had been diligently practicing. From initially being unable to control it, to being able to condense a layer of true essence into a Qingguang Burst, then two layers, and now, he could control up to three or even four layers of true essence in a Qingguang Burst!

True essence rapidly flowed out of his body, and in a moment, a small green light bead formed in his right palm. It grew larger under the influence of the surrounding essence energy, from the size of a thumb to the size of an egg.

"Trivial trick! Let's see how you dodge this time!"

On the opposite side, Luo Lin, seeing Wang Chen condensing the energy ball, had a cold look in his eyes. With a cold shout, he lunged forward again, stacking his palms and striking Wang Chen's chest. He thought such an energy ball would be harmless.

"Three-layer Qingguang Burst!" Seeing the opponent about to reach him, Wang Chen had no time to think. Unable to condense it to four layers, he had to act early.

With a sudden exertion of force, the egg-sized green light ball shot toward Luo Lin at an extremely fast speed.

"Break it!" Seeing the flying energy ball, Luo Lin's eyes flashed with disdain as he roared.

"Explode!" At the same time, seeing the Qingguang Burst reach Luo Lin, Wang Chen also roared.

Boom...

Just as Luo Lin was about to strike Wang Chen with both palms, a thunderous explosion erupted, making Wang Chen's ears ring. A blinding green light rose into the sky, illuminating the dark valley and casting a strange green glow over the area.

Smoke billowed, dust filled the air, the wind howled, and leaves scattered, creating a chaotic scene.

The next moment, the scene fell into a profound silence, making it hard to adjust.

The wind swept away the dust and smoke, revealing the scene before them.

The ground was scorched black, with a black crater about three to four meters in diameter and nearly half a meter deep. In the center, Luo Lin stood in a disheveled state, with blood at the corner of his mouth, tattered clothes, and matted hair, with wisps of white smoke rising from his body.

Cough, cough, cough...

A few light coughs, and Luo Lin spat out more blood, panting heavily, bent over, and showing a pained expression, his body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Chen was slightly surprised. Looking at the disheveled and scorched Luo Lin, he almost couldn't help but laugh. He was also amazed by the power of the Qingguang Burst.

He hadn't expected the three-layer Qingguang Burst to be so terrifying. What would a full-force Qingguang Burst be like? Perhaps it could pose a significant threat to a True Martial artist. Thinking about this, a smile of excitement appeared on Wang Chen's lips. This move was indeed worthy of being a mid-rank Mystic technique.

Slowly walking to Luo Lin, Wang Chen said, "Hand over the Star Pearl!"

Luo Lin glared at Wang Chen, panting heavily, the intense pain as if tearing his body apart. He bared his white teeth, which contrasted sharply with his scorched skin.

Thinking about the power and damage caused by the green energy ball he had underestimated, he was still shaken. If it weren't for the timely use of his Bagua Palm to deflect some of the energy and the surge of true essence to protect his vital areas, he might have already been dead! This made him more wary of Wang Chen.

"What? Do I have to do it myself?" Wang Chen frowned and asked coldly.

For someone who wanted to plunder him, he would not be lenient. In such a place, kindness would only lead to his own death! Since joining the Star Sect, Wang Chen knew he had entered a new world, a new journey, and would join the ranks of the plunderers. This was a place where the strong ruled and plundering was king.

With trembling hands, Luo Lin took out a Star Pearl and handed it to Wang Chen, feeling a sense of reluctance.

Putting away the Star Pearl, Wang Chen smiled in satisfaction, "That's it. You'd better pray no one else finds out!"

Turning, he quickly moved away. It was not wise to stay here any longer. The previous explosion might have already attracted attention.

After Wang Chen left, the scorched Luo Lin, with a look of gravity in his eyes, gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain, limping away. Staying here any longer would only lead to endless plundering.

Not long after the two left, a figure appeared at the edge of the scorched crater, looking at the pit with a grave expression, observing the surroundings, and quickly leaving.

Subsequently, more people came to the site, and upon seeing the crater, they all showed looks of shock and gravity. Clearly, the immense destructive power had surprised them.

As the sky grew dark, the scorched battlefield finally fell silent.

At this moment, Wang Chen, the protagonist, walked back to the sect with a satisfied smile. It was getting late, and it was time to return. He played with the Star Pearl he had plundered, a smile of excitement on his lips.

This was the first Star Pearl he had plundered, giving him a taste of plundering, which was indeed quite good. One Star Pearl was worth four points, much better than killing a high-level First Stage beast.

No wonder those who had reached a certain level of strength mainly earned points by plundering Star Pearls. After all, plundering three Star Pearls a day was much easier than hunting beasts for a day. At that level, plundering Star Pearls was also much simpler.

Returning to the sect without any major incidents, Wang Chen finally relaxed. It seemed that he could only get a moment of peace in the evening after a day of tension, which was somewhat hard to endure.
