CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 589: LEARNING FROM ZHAO YU

"No need!"

Ling Chen gently shook his head, saying, "I don’t need to use the Holy Body Secret Technique to deal with you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu’s face instantly turned ashen.

He had used the Holy Body Secret Technique, yet Ling Chen chose not to.

Clearly, he was looking down on him!

"Kid, how arrogant! I want to see what other techniques you have?"

Zhao Yu said through gritted teeth.

"I have plenty of techniques, you’re really not worth me using the Holy Body Secret Technique!"

Ling Chen laughed.

As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and with a flash of light, a black longsword appeared.

It was the medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon he had previously refined.

"Is a medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon enough?"

Ling Chen raised the longsword in his hand.

"What, a medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon?"

Xia Houjin and others exclaimed in shock.

Their faces showed astonishment,

especially Xia Houjin.

He knew that Ling Chen came from their Yunshui City.

And it was not even the core area of Yunshui City.

Even he did not possess a medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon, where did Ling Chen obtain it from?

"A medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon?"

Staring at the longsword in Ling Chen’s hand, Zhao Yu’s expression grew even darker.

He, being a member of the Zhao Family in Lishan City, was not lacking in weapons.

However, to train them, the family had not given him a medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon.

This was to make them focus on cultivating their Spiritual Power and Spirit Art.

Depending on external objects was ultimately not a long-term solution.

Originally, after this entrance examination, he had obtained the first place.

The family was supposed to grant him a medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon.

However, he had not yet returned to his family, thus it had not yet come into his possession.

Unexpectedly, this time difference had put him in such a predicament.

The advantage gained from deploying the Wind Thunder Transformation Secret Technique was instantly compensated by Ling Chen’s weapon.

Now, facing Ling Chen, his advantage lay in being slightly faster and having stronger defense.

However, these two points could not immediately be transformed into a winning trump card.

"Sky-reaching World Destruction Slash!"

Zhao Yu hardened his heart, his Spiritual Power surged out wildly, deploying the medium-grade King Spirit Technique once again!

Having deployed the Holy Body Secret Technique, naturally, he had to make a move.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Moreover, with the Holy Body Secret Technique, he completely has the upper hand.

Even if he couldn’t handle Ling Chen in a short time, his advantage would grow as time passed.

After all, his cultivation level was two levels higher than Ling Chen’s.

In terms of Spiritual Power, he was far more formidable than Ling Chen.

Watching the increasingly terrifying light cyan Sword Qi, Ling Chen merely smiled lightly, casually unleashing the second form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, Green Lotus Blossoms.

"Boom!"

The green lotus clashed with the light cyan Sword Qi again, ending in a draw.

The medium-grade King Spiritual Weapon completely compensated for the gap in their Spiritual Power!

"Kid, let’s see how many swords you can take!"

Zhao Yu sneered coldly, continuing to attack Ling Chen.

Ling Chen once again used the Green Lotus Blossoms to block.

"Comparing Spiritual Power?"

How could Ling Chen not see through Zhao Yu’s thoughts.

Unable to overcome him in attack, he aimed to exhaust Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power.

However, sadly, this was not Ling Chen’s limit.

"Let’s end this!"

Ling Chen said with a light smile.

He had already experienced the strength of the fifth level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

Continuing to fight with this person was pointless.

"Boom!"

Ling Chen’s body trembled, his aura surged dramatically once more.

His cultivation jumped directly from the early third level of the Palace Mansion Realm to the middle third level!

"What, Ling Chen was still hiding his strength?"

"How is this possible, his cultivation is actually at the middle third level of the Palace Mansion Realm?"

"My goodness, how fast is his Cultivation Speed?"

...

Xia Houjin and the others were stunned.

They had only advanced one level, but Ling Chen had almost advanced by two small levels.

And that too, crossing two minor realms!

Listening to the exclamations of the crowd, Ling Chen felt no perturbation in his heart.

This was still not his limit.

His true Cultivation level was the late third-stage of the Palace Mansion Realm!

The trip to Burning Flame Valley had completely advanced him by two whole stages!

However, mid third-stage of the Palace Mansion Realm was enough to defeat Zhao Yu.

Naturally, there was no need to expose his real strength!

"What?!"

Zhao Yu was greatly shocked, exclaiming with a face full of disbelief.

It turned out that all along, Ling Chen had not used his full strength.

"Young Master Zhao, be careful!"

Ling Chen gave a slight smile.

This time, the Green Lotus Sword Qi he deployed was comparable in might to what would be generated by his mid third-stage Palace Mansion Realm Spiritual Power.

Although the true power of his Green Lotus Sword Qi was not so.

But with his methods, it was unlikely to enhance the Green Lotus Sword Qi significantly, though diminishing it was still feasible.

Nine streams of Green Lotus Sword Qi roared out, under the enhancement of a mid-grade King Spiritual Weapon, they condensed into a green lotus, and then flew towards Zhao Yu.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu’s expression became extremely grave.

Immediately, he fully stimulated his Spiritual Power, once again deploying the mid-grade King Spirit Technique!

"Boom!"

The green lotus collided with the light green Sword Qi.

However, this time, the green lotus shattered the light green Sword Qi as if it were rotting wood, and then continued falling towards Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu desperately stimulated his Spiritual Power, holding the longsword in front of him.

The green lotus descended.

Zhao Yu’s figure was knocked back hundreds of meters before he stopped retreating.

A trace of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, some of his internal organs had sustained minor injuries.

"Young Master Zhao, do you wish to continue?"

Ling Chen looked towards the distant Zhao Yu and asked with a smile.

"No need."

Zhao Yu hastily responded.

Having deployed the Holy Body Secret Technique and still being defeated by Ling Chen, how could he have the courage to continue fighting?

"That’s good."

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Young Master Zhao, one should not be too overbearing."

Zhao Yu hastily responded, "Young Master Ling, your lesson is well-heeded!"

Ling Chen glanced at Zhao Yu, then his figure moved, taking off explosively towards the sky.

Watching Ling Chen’s disappearing back, Zhao Yu’s eyes revealed a hint of resentful poison.

Xia Houjin and the others were all shocked at this moment.

Ling Chen had actually defeated Zhao Yu?

"What are you looking at, scram already?"

Zhao Yu said to Xia Houjin and the others.

Xia Houjin and the others quickly deployed their movement techniques and left Burning Flame Valley.

Although Zhao Yu was not a match for Ling Chen, dealing with them would not be too difficult.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhao Yu then took out a Healing Pill and ingested it.

Soon, his injuries healed.

"Ling Chen, you just wait!"

A cold murderous intent flashed in Zhao Yu’s eyes.

If he possessed a mid-grade King Spiritual Weapon, how could Ling Chen be his opponent?

After suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, Zhao Yu then flew out of Burning Flame Valley.

...

Above Burning Flame Valley.

A grey-clad Steward Ling Kong stood in the air.

It was Steward Liu.

"It’s about time, they should be coming out!"

Steward Liu looked down, his face bearing a light smile.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Just then, several streaks of light soared into the sky, and then ten figures appeared in his line of sight.

"Just as expected!"

Steward Liu let out a slight smile.

His gaze swept over everyone’s faces, suddenly becoming sharp, and he asked, "Where’s Zhao Yu?"

Zhao Yu, after all, was the first among the new generation!

He did not want any accidents to happen.

"Young Master Zhao is still inside cultivating."

Seeing that the others did not speak, Ling Chen said.

Xia Houjin and the others naturally did not dare to say more, fearing they would offend Ling Chen.

"Good!"

Steward Liu smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad. Even though the Spiritual Eye has closed, the Spiritual Energy within Burning Flame Valley is still very rich! You all should learn more from Zhao Yu!"

While offering praise, he did not forget to reprimand others.
