CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 798: WHO WINS AND WHO LOSES?

Ling Chen and his companion maneuvered through the battle zone.

At the start, indeed everything went smoothly.

In seven days, Ling Chen and his companion had eliminated thirteen people.

All of these people were holders of tokens below the Heavenly Pride Token.

The Dragon Energy they obtained was, under the pretext of not convening enemies conveniently, all given to Ling Chen.

At present, the Dragon Energy hovering above Ling Chen’s head had already reached a height of sixteen zhang, seven chi.

However, later on, as an increasing number of geniuses obtained Dragon Energy,

These geniuses possessed even stronger capabilities.

Ling Chen and his companion’s baiting plan thus became considerably less efficient.

In the following ten days,

They only managed to eliminate one genius with an outstanding token.

"Now, thirty people remain!"

Ling Chen looked at the light screen emerging on the token.

At present, the names of eliminated geniuses had all disappeared,

Leaving only those uneliminated.

All geniuses became even more cautious.

"Xiao Wu, that’s enough! You can enter my inner world! Leave the rest to me!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

Since that was the case, he no longer planned to use such methods.

The remaining thirty, he estimated, must all have obtained Dragon Energy.

This made searching even more convenient.

"Understood."

Xiao Wu nodded her head and then entered into Ling Chen’s world.

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen transformed into a beam of flowing light, rapidly flying toward the distance.

At the same time, he probed the surroundings within a few thousand zhang using Divine Soul Telekinesis.

Roughly two hours later,

Ling Chen located a genius.

The Dragon Energy towering above this person’s head was over thirty zhang high.

One must know, the whole Qing Province didn’t have more than a hundred Heaven’s Prides.

Adding those from hidden sects or distinguished families, the number had just exceeded one hundred.

Moreover, all people were divided into a hundred battle zones.

Having two per zone was already quite good.

The majority had only one per zone.

And Ling Chen had already killed one.

That is to say, within the hundred battle zones he was located in, there were at least two geniuses with Heavenly Pride Tokens.

Because the geniuses with outstanding tokens were only about one or two thousand.

With one or two dozen people per zone, each person’s Dragon Energy being one zhang, even if all were eliminated, it would only total twenty zhang.

So to say, this person must have eliminated a Heaven’s Pride.

"It’s actually a Nine-Star Emperor!"

Ling Chen’s eyes brimmed with a desire for battle.

He was an Eight-Star Emperor, and the intensity of this person’s aura was even higher than his, evidently a Nine-Star Emperor.

Facing a Nine-Star Emperor, Ling Chen exactly wanted to put himself to the test.

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen immediately dove from the sky, plunging down towards that person.

"Hm?"

That genius immediately sensed something, lifting his head to look up at the sky.

When he sensed Ling Chen’s presence, his pupils instantly reddened.

"Ling Chen!"

He uttered a cold name.

Indeed, this person was Wu Xinyuan, the son of the Commander of Xing Du.

Back then, in front of his father, Ling Chen had cut off his limbs.

Ever since, he considered it a most humiliating disgrace!

Under the pressure of intense humiliation, he finally broke through to the seventh level of the World Realm, no longer fearing Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attacks.

Now, sworn enemies met, and their resentment was exceedingly deep.

"Wu Xinyuan!"

Ling Chen was also somewhat surprised.

He had not expected that this so-called Nine-Star Emperor would actually be this person.

"Have your injuries healed?"

Ling Chen sized up Wu Xinyuan.

Upon hearing this, a fire of rage burned in Wu Xinyuan’s heart, his teeth clacking furiously as if trying to tear Ling Chen’s flesh.

"Today, I will break your limbs to avenge the humiliation of that day!"

A voice as if coming from the nether regions echoed.

Ling Chen smiled calmly and said, "Young Master Wu, I promised your father that as long as you do not provoke me, I won’t take your life. However, if you do provoke me, then I’m afraid you’ll have to blame yourself for my ruthlessness!"

"Arrogant, with just this bit of strength?"

Wu Xinyuan sneered.

However, when he sensed Ling Chen’s cultivation, his voice faltered, incredulous, "You’ve advanced to an eight-star Emperor?"

Ling Chen’s true cultivation was comparable to a late-stage eight-star Emperor.

However, he concealed his cultivation level.

A mere early-stage nine-star Wu Xinyuan could not possibly sense it.

"What’s wrong, scared?"

Ling Chen said with a smiling tone.

"Nonsense!"

Wu Xinyuan huffed, "I, fear you?"

Even if Ling Chen were an eight-star Emperor, so what?

He had defeated Ling Chen last time solely because of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack.

Otherwise, with just Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Cultivation, how could he be his match?

After all, he had mastered a superior Emperor Spirit Technique.

And with Ling Chen’s rapid promotion speed, it was doubtful that he successfully mastered the superior Emperor Spirit Technique.

Even if Ling Chen had some tricks up his sleeve, Wu Xinyuan believed he could handle them.

"So, it seems you really intend to make a move against me?"

Ling Chen laughed, "Originally, I was planning to spare your life and just eliminate you from the competition, but now it seems you are courting death!"

"How presumptuous!"

Wu Xinyuan snorted, "I’m no longer afraid of your Divine Soul Attack, and I want to see what other means you have to dare speak of killing me."

"You’ll know if you try."

Ling Chen smiled.

While they were speaking, this scene had already switched to the screen in the State Governor Mansion.

"A late-stage eight-star! Hasn’t this young man’s cultivation improved too quickly?"

"Yes! What kind of constitution does this kid have? How could his Cultivation Speed be so fast?"

"Yeah! Not even a Sacred Body has this kind of Cultivation Speed!"

...

The upper echelons of Qing Province spoke one after another.

Mu Qing simulated Ling Chen’s aura.

Mu Qing was an Emperor Realm powerhouse, and Ling Chen’s hidden aura couldn’t escape his detection.

"Yuan’er, have you advanced to the seventh layer of the World Realm?"

Commander Wu Hai of Heavenly Capital seemed a bit excited.

That is to say, his son was no longer afraid of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack.

He also didn’t expect that the incident would have such a strong motivating effect.

It seemed that having Xinyuan yield was the right move.

"Gentlemen, what do you think will be the outcome of this battle?"

Mu Qing asked with a smile.

Commander Chen of Heavenly Capital said, "There is a layer of difference in their cultivation, but I’ve heard that Ling Chen has means to fight above his level. So currently, the outcome of their battle is uncertain. However, Wu Xinyuan has definitely mastered a superior Emperor Spirit Technique. Thus, whether Ling Chen can win will depend on if he has mastered a superior Emperor Spirit Technique."

"Commander Chen is correct!"

Yun Dou, the Yun Commander, said, "Ling Chen, his Divine Soul Attack, I’m afraid it’s ineffective. Then, it all comes down to their Spirit Art."

Jiang Domain Master laughed and said, "I think Ling Chen has a greater chance of winning. A year ago, Ling Chen was able to kill a World Realm five-layer powerhouse in front of an eight-star Emperor! It shows that his Divine Soul Attack was a threat to a six-layer of the World Realm at that time."

He glanced at Commander Wu of Heavenly Capital and continued, "After a year, Ling Chen has revealed means that threaten the six-layer of the World Realm. Would his Divine Soul stop there? Keep in mind, Ling Chen has lived in the World Prison for a year."

...

There was a variety of opinions.

However, the vast majority of the high echelons still felt that Wu Xinyuan had a greater chance of winning.

Higher cultivation plus mastery of a superior Emperor Spirit Technique.

Victory in this battle was assured.

And Ling Chen had never revealed any superior Emperor Spirit Technique maneuvers.

"Alright, let’s continue watching!"

The State Governor interrupted.

In his heart, Ling Chen was undoubtedly going to win!

World Realm seven-layer Emperors, Ling Chen had encountered them in the World Prison before.

Divine Soul Attack could likewise sweep across the seventh layer of the World Realm.

With this, Ling Chen could not possibly be defeated.
