Chapter 110 - 110 Battle with Duan Henxi

Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Battle with Duan Henxi

“What a domineering Earth Grade Martial Skill! If Feng Wuchen didn’t deliberately miss, I’m afraid Zhang Qing would be dead by now!”

Duan Henxi stood up in shock. Being at the Yuandan Realm Second Layer himself, he was acutely aware of how terrifying that beam of golden light was a moment ago.

Zhang Qing was powerful, but Feng Wuchen was even stronger. In their final bout, Feng Wuchen completely overwhelmed him with his power.

The golden light was incredibly fast, giving Zhang Qing no chance to react.

“Too terrifying!”

“The power of an Earth Grade Martial Skill completely makes up for the gap in strength!”

...

“Zhang Qing actually lost!”

All the students were shocked, the terror of the Earth Grade Martial Skill left them both frightened and envious, wishing they too possessed an Earth Grade Martial Skill.

Zhenyuntian moved in a flash to help Zhang Qing swallow a Healing Pill.

Feng Wuchen also had a sense of measure in his attack, avoiding Zhang Qing’s vital points, otherwise Zhang Qing would have undoubtedly perished.

“Zhang Qing, are you alright?” asked Feng Wuchen.

“I’m fine. You really are strong, I didn’t expect you to have cultivated an Earth Grade Martial Skill! Losing to you is not an injustice.” Zhang Qing said, enduring the intense pain and his face deathly pale.

Zhenyuntian said, “The injury is not very serious, he should recover in half a month.”

“Thank you, Great Elder.” Zhang Qing nodded.

“Feng Wuchen wins,” declared Zhenyuntian.

“Feng Wuchen! Feng Wuchen!” the students called out Feng Wuchen’s name excitedly.

Lin You shouted with a red face, her emotions running high.

The battles that followed were also quite exciting. The students gave their all, and the hard-hitting clashes at the Yuandan Realm were enough to make the blood boil with their powerful strength.

The most domineering one was Duan Henxi. He stepped onto the stage and blew his opponent off the field with a single palm, his strength frighteningly formidable.

The students of the academy were well aware of Duan Henxi’s prowess. Among the new students, his strength was unmatched, and even many of the older students were no match for him.

By the end of the day, the first round of the competition was over, with fifteen students advancing and another fifteen eliminated.

Overnight, those who advanced focused on healing and restoring their True Yuan, preparing for the next day.

The Healing Pills and Elixirs for restoring True Yuan were provided by Zhenyuntian, so the students were not worried about not being able to fight at full strength.

The night passed in the blink of an eye. Early next morning, the square was already teeming with all the students, waiting for the second round of competition to begin.

In the second round, eight students could advance. Among them, one student could advance directly—Su Lieyang, the strongest student in the entire academy, at the Yuan Dan Realm Fourth Layer!

Su Lieyang was the grandson of the Third Elder of the academy with a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul talent!

As the oldest student in the academy, Su Lieyang was set to graduate after the end of the Genius Ranking Battle.

That Su Lieyang advanced directly was not because he was the Third Elder’s grandson, but due to his strength! No other student had anything to say about it unless they felt their strength surpassed his.

The students participating in the competition actually hoped for Su Lieyang to advance directly. That way, they had one less formidable opponent to worry about, and their own chances of advancing increased.

The second round of the competition began, and Feng Wuchen was the first up again. Unexpectedly, his opponent chose to forfeit.

Having witnessed Feng Wuchen’s terrifying strength the day before, that student knew he was no match for Zhang Qing, let alone Feng Wuchen, and saw no hope in fighting, so it was better to give up.

By noon, the second round had ended.

Eight people advanced, including Feng Wuchen and Duan Henxi.

Among these eight, Feng Wuchen had the weakest strength, but the other seven all had the power to defeat Zhang Qing!

And among these seven, they all hoped their next opponent would be Feng Wuchen!

With their strength surpassing Zhang Qing, they all had the chance to defeat Feng Wuchen and advance, which wouldn’t be as easy if they faced someone else.

Out of the eight, the most favored by the academy were Su Lieyang, Duan Henxi, and Mu Shan at the Yuan Dan Realm Third Layer—they were the academy’s top three.

“Feng Wuchen, I finally got you! And the first one at that, you don’t stand a chance.” Duan Henxi shook his eyebrows and laughed, holding up the name he had drawn, which was indeed Feng Wuchen’s.

The other students looked at each other in disappointment, resigned to their fate.

A battle between Feng Wuchen and Duan Henxi would undoubtedly be an exceptionally exciting fight, stirring excitement among the students.

Duan Henxi was the Empire’s top talent, his strength undeniable.

“It’s a good chance to see the strength of the Empire’s top talent,” said Feng Wuchen with a faint smile, showing no sign of worry.

It was just a competition, after all. To lose was to lose, to win was to win—Feng Wuchen didn’t take it too seriously.

Zhenyuntian leaped onto the field, stimulated the Earth Attribute True Yuan, and then something miraculous happened.

The square, once riddled with large cracks and craters, visibly began to heal and return to its original state.

The third round of the competition began, and Feng Wuchen stepped onto the field simultaneously with Duan Henxi, drawing cheers from the students.

One was the Empire’s top talent, and the other was a freakish powerhouse in the Transformative Realm Ninth Level and in possession of an Earth Grade Martial Skill. Although not many were optimistic about Feng Wuchen, the battle was sure to get the blood pumping.

“Xiao Xiao, do you think big brother Feng will win?” Liu Qingyang asked.

Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head, “I don’t know. Duan Henxi is very strong, brother Feng probably can’t beat him.”

“If brother Feng’s bloodline were to awaken, he could instantly step into the Yuandan Realm and potentially defeat Duan Henxi, but it’s uncertain when brother Feng’s bloodline will awaken,” thought Ling Xiaoxiao to herself.

Ling Xiaoxiao wasn’t worried about Feng Wuchen’s victory or defeat; she was more concerned about the awakening of his bloodline.

“Doesn’t this mean there’s no chance of advancing? If he loses, there won’t be an opportunity to participate in the Genius Ranking Battle!” Liu Qingyang suddenly became anxious.

“Don’t even think about it, that wild monkey is very powerful, even stronger than Mu Shan!” a student shook his head.

“That’s right! Mu Shan is at the Yuan Dan Realm Third Layer, and even he is no match for Duan Henxi! That wild monkey is just abnormal.”

“Feng Wuchen has no hope.”

The students shook their heads one after another, being at the academy, they were very aware of Duan Henxi’s strength!

Not to mention the students, even Xing Tianfeng and Zhenyuntian thought that Feng Wuchen was certain to lose.

From the battle between Feng Wuchen and Zhang Qing, it could be seen that Feng Wuchen was only slightly stronger than Zhang Qing, even if he had held back his strength, he was no match for Duan Henxi.

“Feng Wuchen, use all your strength, don’t hold back, or you will lose miserably!” On the square, Duan Henxi spoke with a hint of excitement, as the True Yuan within him surged out, radiating a blue glow, and his aura was astonishing.

Duan Henxi’s True Yuan was incredibly potent and fierce, causing the just-restored ground to crack once again.

Feeling Duan Henxi’s power, the students were extremely excited.

“He really lives up to being the Empire’s number one talent, indeed very impressive!” Feng Wuchen praised, as he summoned the full might of his Dragon God power without any reservation!

A faint golden light surfaced on his skin, and with a reach into the void, the Fiery Blade appeared, his momentum soaring once again!

“A high-grade treasure!” the students exclaimed, their eyes filled with envy!

“Feng Wuchen really has been hiding his strength!” Zhang Qing frowned.

Mu Shan said gravely, “The wild monkey is very powerful, Feng Wuchen must go all out, or he will suffer a terrible defeat, and he won’t hold back his strength this time.”

“Even if he fights with all his might, he is still no match for the wild monkey, the gap in strength is too big,” Su Lieyang shook his head.

On the square, Feng Wuchen held the Fiery Blade, his expression solemn.

“Feng Wuchen! Come on!” Duan Henxi said excitedly, a moment he had waited for, for a long time.

“Bang!”

Feng Wuchen’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he blasted off the ground with his feet, launching a ferocious attack.

“God Shadow!” Feng Wuchen shouted in a low voice, doubling his speed as he moved swiftly.

In a matter of seconds, Feng Wuchen suddenly appeared in front of Duan Henxi, the Fiery Blade thrusting out without delay or reluctance, in one fluid motion.

“Ting!”

Duan Henxi moved quickly, and with a crisp ting, he caught the tip of Feng Wuchen’s sword with two fingers, stopping the Fiery Blade from advancing even half an inch.

Feng Wuchen’s strength was instantly countered by Duan Henxi.

Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, thinking, “Flawless! His strength is far greater than Zhang Qing’s, they’re not even comparable! He might already be strong enough to compete with the Yuan Dan Realm Third Layer.”

“Ting ting ting!”

Feng Wuchen’s figure moved quickly, initiating attacks from all around Duan Henxi, but to Feng Wuchen’s surprise, Duan Henxi stood motionless, blocking all his attacks with just two fingers.

Duan Henxi’s strength was very strong! Incredibly strong!

“Isn’t that too strong?” Liu Qingyang’s eyes were almost bulging out.

Miao Qingqing said with a bitter smile, “It looks like he won’t be able to win.”

Around the square, the students cheered madly, their excitement boundless.

Even with the Evil Dragon’s abundant fighting experience, Feng Wuchen couldn’t do much when facing an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.

With the Fiery Blade’s attack ineffective, Feng Wuchen immediately threw a left punch.

“Bang!”

The moment Feng Wuchen punched, Duan Henxi moved, meeting the punch with his own, and with a muffled bang, Feng Wuchen’s complexion suddenly changed, and he was sent flying by Duan Henxi’s overpowering strength.

“Feng Wuchen, I told you, I won’t hold back!” Feng Wuchen, still not yet landed, heard Duan Henxi’s voice in his ear.

“So fast!” Feng Wuchen’s expression changed again.

“Boom!”

“Pfft!”

Duan Henxi’s speed was terrifyingly fast, closing in with a shimmer, and punched Feng Wuchen in the chest. The savage power made Feng Wuchen spit out blood, and his figure shot out like a black line.

The gap in strength was too great, making it seem like Feng Wuchen couldn’t withstand a single hit!

Even with his robust body, Feng Wuchen couldn’t endure Duan Henxi’s power!

The Fiery Blade stuck in the ground, sliding out several meters before Feng Wuchen finally stabilized his figure.

“So strong!” Feng Wuchen was also extremely shocked inside, he hadn’t expected Duan Henxi to be this powerful.

For the first time, Feng Wuchen felt powerless.

“Feng Wuchen, how is it? My strength hasn’t disappointed you, has it?” Duan Henxi’s voice came again, as he already appeared behind Feng Wuchen.

“You’re stronger than I imagined, truly worthy of being the number one talent of the Empire!” Feng Wuchen said calmly, and wiped the blood from his mouth.

Having said that, Feng Wuchen turned around and swept out with his sword.

“Boom!”

“Pfft!”

Duan Henxi’s figure flickered elusively, and in the next second, with a thunderous explosion, Feng Wuchen spat out more blood and his figure was sent flying over ten meters.

Having endured two punches from Duan Henxi, Feng Wuchen’s injuries were now somewhat serious.
