Chapter 93

Exhaling a deep breath, Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing in them, as if a bright blade had flashed in the dimly lit cave, incredibly sharp.

Rising, he stretched lazily, feeling the saturated true essence and abundant physical strength within his body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

With the help of the stalactite fluid, his true essence and physical strength had quickly recovered to their optimal state in a short time.

Walking towards the entrance of the cave, he glanced at the sky; it was around two o'clock in the afternoon. He still had some time, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"I wonder what kind of people Ziyeh has sent!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he murmured softly, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The frequent battles throughout the morning had made his blood boil, as if the blood within his body had begun to burn, awakening the wild and brutal side that lay dormant deep in his heart.

Following that, he felt the threshold of the True Martial realm. Although it was just a little, it was enough to make Wang Chen excited.

It had been over a month since he entered the ninth stage of Body Tempering, and more than ten days since he reached the peak of the ninth stage. He had not felt the call of the True Martial realm at all, but after the frequent battles today, he did.

Perhaps this was the benefit of battle, which could stimulate a person's potential. Battles on the brink of life and death always allowed a person to improve the fastest.

Perhaps if he had a few more intense battles, he might really be able to break through that barrier!

Because of this, Wang Chen was eager, hoping that Ziyeh's people would arrive sooner.

Walking forward, he left the open area and approached the waterfall where he had been practicing recently. He walked to the river, cupped the cold water in his hands, and washed himself thoroughly, instantly feeling refreshed.

"Wang Chen! I didn't expect to find you here!" A deep voice called from behind, making Wang Chen turn around.

Hearing the voice, Wang Chen slowly stood up, turned around, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You finally came?"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Wang Chen's face remained calm, a faint smile on his lips. He had indeed noticed their approach, thanks to Ling Zhan's help. These two did not have the ability to approach him silently. He had been waiting for a fight.

Feeling the threshold of the True Martial realm, he knew that to break through, he needed more intense battles to stimulate himself. Clearly, these two could help him.

Kong Jie, ranked twenty-second on the Star Chart last month, was an old acquaintance. They had met in the first month he entered the Star Sect, and he had nearly lost his life to him. Due to his inferior strength, he had to escape under the cover of the Green Light Burst. He didn't expect to meet him again today.

The other person was Ye Yu from Ziyeh, a first-stage True Martial practitioner, ranked seventeenth on the Star Chart last month, and currently eighteenth this month!

He wore a white robe, giving off a refined and elegant aura. Standing with his hands behind his back, he remained silent, his eyes indifferent. However, Wang Chen knew that such people were often the most terrifying. At the very least, he was more threatening than Kong Jie.

"Ziyeh finally sent two True Martial practitioners? Just the two of you?" Wang Chen asked with a cold smile.

"Enough to deal with you!" Kong Jie replied in a sinister tone.

At the same time, the originally quiet open area gradually became lively. Several figures appeared in the distance, clearly coming to watch the battle. Some even planned to take advantage of the situation when both sides were weakened.

Wang Chen and Kong Jie did not rush to attack. They stood facing each other, watching each other silently.

The number of people around continued to increase, reaching over a dozen in a short time. This was just the surface; there were still many more hidden in the shadows.

"Kong Jie and Ye Yu, Wang Chen is in trouble this time!"

"Probably, I heard Ye Yu is about to enter the second stage of the True Martial realm!"

"Ziyeh is getting serious!"

In the distance, watching Kong Jie and Ye Yu facing Wang Chen, the crowd murmured. Both of them were well-known in the outer sect. Kong Jie was known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, while Ye Yu was known for his strength, making them formidable opponents in the outer sect.

Now, with both of them teaming up, even if Wang Chen was strong, he would not be their match, at least that's what the crowd thought.

"Kid, you're in trouble this time!" In a hidden corner, Xiang Qiankan looked at Wang Chen, a worried expression on his face.

He had thought only Kong Jie was coming, but he didn't expect Ziyeh to also send Ye Yu. It seemed Wang Chen's counterattack had truly angered them.

"Should I go or should you? There are more and more people!" After a moment, Ye Yu finally spoke, looking at Kong Jie.

"I'll go! He's not worthy of your effort!" Kong Jie replied simply.

In his eyes, Wang Chen was just a defeated opponent from the past, not worth Ye Yu's effort. Of course, there was also a bit of personal resentment. When Wang Chen was at the seventh stage of Body Tempering, he had failed to plunder him and ended up in a sorry state. This was an unforgivable humiliation that he had to avenge today.

With that, Kong Jie took a step forward, blocking Wang Chen, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Similarly, Wang Chen's eyes turned cold, especially when he felt the murderous intent emanating from Kong Jie.

Last time, if it weren't for his luck and the Green Light Burst, he might have died at this guy's hands. Now, meeting again, it was time to settle the score. He had no good feelings towards such a treacherous and cruel person.

As the two faced off, the atmosphere became tense. Ye Yu, standing behind Kong Jie, retreated several dozen meters, giving them enough space. His face showed no worry; he believed Kong Jie alone was enough to deal with Wang Chen.

What could a mere ninth-stage Body Tempering practitioner do?

"Elementary Rank: Mountain-Cleaving Slash!" Kong Jie shouted, making the first move.

Learning from his previous mistake, this time he held nothing back, using his strongest technique from the start.

"Fifteen-Stacked Wave Palm!" Wang Chen also shouted, advancing to meet him.

The palm winds overlapped, fifteen palms bursting out instantly, stacking together, a white glow flashing as the palm winds sliced through the air, creating a whistling sound.

On the opposite side, Kong Jie's hands formed palms, like two long knives, chopping straight forward.

"Bang..."

A dull sound of impact echoed as the two clashed.

The two forces exploded instantly. The next moment, a muffled groan was heard, and Kong Jie was sent flying back.

Under the Fifteen-Stacked Wave Palm, Wang Chen's strength had reached four thousand pounds, comparable to that of a second-stage True Martial practitioner. This was Wang Chen's most monstrous aspect, far beyond what Kong Jie could match. Even with the Elementary Rank technique, his maximum strength could only reach three thousand five hundred pounds, a significant gap.

Wang Chen's figure merely paused for a moment before stabilizing and chasing after the retreating Kong Jie.

A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes as he stared at the pursuing Wang Chen. Kong Jie's eyes widened; he couldn't believe it! His full-strength attack had been repelled, and Wang Chen's strength far exceeded his own. How was this possible? Wang Chen was just a mere ninth-stage Body Tempering practitioner, while he had already entered the True Martial realm. How could there be such a gap?

It was as if their strengths had been swapped.

"What's going on?"

"Kong Jie is at a disadvantage?"

"Damn, how strong is Wang Chen?"

In the distance, the crowd was in an uproar, their faces filled with disbelief.

The previous clash, though simple, had clearly shown the disparity in strength. Wang Chen's single strike had directly repelled Kong Jie. What was happening?
