Chapter 96

"Goodness, that... that guy is Kong Jie?"

"Wang Chen won!"

"The Wind Profound Slash was blocked!!"

After a brief silence, there was a commotion. Most people were unwilling to believe that the Kong Jie, who was now being held by Wang Chen, was actually defeated. They were unwilling to believe that in the direct confrontation with Kong Jie's full-power Wind Profound Slash, Wang Chen had won in such a dominant manner.

At this moment, Wang Chen appeared like a god of war to everyone. His domineering appearance, with Kong Jie in one hand, was unparalleled!

"Xin'er, Zilan, did... did I see it wrong? That guy..." Ke'er, drawing a sharp breath, widened her eyes and looked at the proud Wang Chen standing in the arena, asking Zilan and Liu Xin.

"Seems... seems so!" Even the usually calm and composed Zilan could not maintain her composure at this moment, her small mouth slightly open, speaking in disbelief.

As for Liu Xin, she tightly covered her mouth, her face flushed, her eyes filled with joy and excitement, as if she herself had won.

All the worries from before vanished in an instant, leaving only the towering, domineering, and unparalleled man in her eyes.

"That damn brat, Ziye has lost again! Hehe, but this is good, more income!" Xiang Qian, hiding in the shadows, fiercely curled his lips and muttered to himself.

"What did you do to him?" Walking up to Wang Chen, Ye Yu looked at the lifeless Kong Jie and asked coldly, after all, he was his comrade!

"Just broke a couple of bones. Now it's your turn?" With a cold laugh, Wang Chen said indifferently. As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand, throwing Kong Jie like a stone toward Ye Yu.

He had a grudge against Kong Jie, who had nearly killed him last time. This time, Kong Jie even used despicable means during the battle. If it were an ordinary person, they might have been killed by the Wind Profound Slash, and wouldn't be standing here.

The series of events had thoroughly ignited Wang Chen's anger, so he did not hold back at all in the final moment.

Just as he had expected, the Wind Profound Slash was similar to the Green Light Burst, both involving the instantaneous release of all true essence. However, there was a huge difference between the two. The Green Light Burst condensed the true essence into a single powerful strike, making it extremely domineering.

Although the Wind Profound Slash was also domineering, the energy was dispersed due to the nature of the move. Additionally, Kong Jie's mastery of the move was not complete, so he could not fully unleash its power. Therefore, it could be countered by the Fifteen-Stacked Wave Palm.

After one move, taking advantage of Kong Jie's lack of follow-up strength, Wang Chen launched a wave of attacks. With three consecutive moves, he broke two of Kong Jie's ribs and severely injured him.

In an instant, Kong Jie drew a beautiful parabolic arc in the air and crashed heavily in front of Ye Yu, letting out another muffled groan, with blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the Kong Jie lying in front of him, Ye Yu's brows furrowed, his expression slightly dark, his eyes flashing with a cold, icy intent, revealing a killing aura.

"Then let's fight again!" As Kong Jie landed, without waiting for Ye Yu to speak, Wang Chen shouted coldly.

He knew that even if he didn't say it, Ye Yu wouldn't back down. This battle was inevitable.

After the fight with Kong Jie, the blood in his body seemed to be burning, emitting a fierce fighting spirit, like a raging fire.

The Divine Martial bloodline was inherently a bloodline of battle. Those with this bloodline were naturally warlike, with a wild and uncontrollable aura deep within their blood. Battling to improve through combat was their best path of cultivation.

This was also why Ling Zhan had strongly advocated for him to enter the Demon Sect for cultivation, especially a sect like the Starlight Sect, where brutal competition and continuous battles were the most suitable environment for Wang Chen's growth!

After the battle with Kong Jie, Wang Chen could clearly feel that his true essence had become even purer, as if he had taken another step toward the True Martial realm.

Without any hesitation, he took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, inhaled a drop of stalactite liquid to restore his true essence, and stared intently at Ye Yu.

As the stalactite liquid entered his body, his true essence rapidly recovered. Taking advantage of the brief respite, Wang Chen began to adjust his body.

"I didn't expect you to have such good stuff!" Seeing Wang Chen's actions, Ye Yu was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at Wang Chen.

The stalactite liquid, he could feel the pure aura emanating from the jade bottle. He clearly sensed the recovery of Wang Chen's true essence. A hint of greed flashed in his eyes, almost imperceptibly.

"Stalactite liquid, that damn guy is so wasteful!" Outside the arena, Ke'er couldn't help but complain when she saw Wang Chen's actions.

Using stalactite liquid to restore true essence, it was truly a stroke of genius on Wang Chen's part, making Ke'er, who knew the inside story, sigh in admiration.

Zilan and Liu Xin also wore bitter smiles, not knowing what to say. This was indeed a shameful waste.

As for the others who didn't know the inside story, they couldn't help but draw a sharp breath when they heard Wang Chen's challenge. He had actually challenged Ye Yu after defeating Kong Jie? Was he really crazy?

It was said that Ye Yu had reached the peak of the First Rank True Martial realm and was about to enter the Second Rank True Martial realm. Some even said he had already entered the Second Rank True Martial realm. Did Wang Chen really think he could defeat him?

He was not comparable to Kong Jie.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the arena, watching the two men whose auras were soaring. They held their breath, but a strange excitement welled up inside them. Such a scene made them feel their blood boil.

How long had it been since they had seen such consecutive battles?

From morning until now, news of Wang Chen's battles had been constant. Now, including Kong Jie, fourteen people from Ziye had been defeated by him. Was he aiming for the fifteenth Starlight Pearl?

Crazy, looking at Wang Chen, everyone could only inwardly exclaim that this guy was really crazy.

"Very well, let me see what you're made of!" Provoked by Wang Chen, Ye Yu laughed in anger. A mere Ninth Rank Body Tempering martial artist challenging him? How long had it been since he had seen such a thing?

Even if he had defeated Kong Jie, so what? It could only be said that Kong Jie was useless, and he, Ye Yu, had already reached that level. Ye Yu had enough confidence in himself.

"Profound Rank初级: Mountain-Cleaving Chop!" With a light shout, Ye Yu's figure suddenly moved, his feet flashing as he charged at Wang Chen.

Profound Rank初级: Mountain-Cleaving Chop, the same move as Kong Jie, was one of the martial techniques rewarded by the Starlight Sect's outer sect. It seemed that Ye Yu had obtained this Profound Rank technique after at least ten months on the Starlight List.

However, the power he unleashed far exceeded that of Kong Jie.

The thunderous sound of breaking air was like a series of thunderclaps, fluid and powerful, showing that he had mastered this martial technique to perfection.

One move was enough to tell the difference. With this move, Wang Chen could clearly feel the gap between Kong Jie and Ye Yu. His brows furrowed, and he did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, using the Ghost Steps.

"Fifteen-Stacked Wave Palm!"

Following a roar, the Fifteen-Stacked Wave Palm was unleashed.

At this moment, Wang Chen felt an unusual excitement, a thrill from encountering a strong opponent after a series of battles! It was a passionate surge from deep within his bloodline.

"Break it!"

In an instant, the two palms met, and with a light roar from Ye Yu, the force in his hand suddenly surged!

"Boom..."

A low collision sound echoed, accompanied by an invisible wave of energy spreading out, creating visible ripples in the air.

Then, a muffled groan was heard, and the two men were forced to retreat in opposite directions.

"Second Rank True Martial!" Immediately, a wave of exclamations came from the audience.

After one move, some keen-eyed people had already discerned Ye Yu's strength. He had indeed entered the Second Rank True Martial realm!

This result clearly shocked many. The gap between a Second Rank True Martial and a First Rank True Martial was well known. At the very least, there was a difference of about a thousand pounds in strength, which gave a sense of the overall difference in power.

No one had expected that Ye Yu had truly reached this level. Ziye had gained another absolute expert, no wonder he had surged into the top twenty last month!
