Chapter 605 - 605 605 Challenge

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Challenge Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Challenge “This guy seems to have a grudge against me.”

Feng Wuchen felt slightly depressed in his heart. He had just returned to the academy and hadn’t provoked anyone, yet Sky Shadow bore such animosity towards him.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Feng Wuchen didn’t care and turned his attention back to the battle in the sky.

The fight between Duan Henxi and Fu Yan initially appeared evenly matched, but as time went on, Fu Yan gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

Of course, this was because Duan Henxi was holding back, which allowed Fu Yan to last as long as he did.

But in the end, Fu Yan, who had fought with all his might, still lost.

The gap in strength between the two was too great; Fu Yan’s challenge was merely to energize himself.

“Thank you, Second Prince!” A defeated Fu Yan expressed his gratitude with a fist salute.

“Now you know how formidable I am, right?” Duan Henxi said with a proud smile on his face.

“That’s all you’ve got?” Sky Shadow spoke indifferently, his voice not loud, but everyone heard him clearly.

If anyone else had uttered those words, Duan Henxi would have certainly broken their legs.

However, since it was Sky Shadow who spoke, Duan Henxi kept his temper in check, and no one in the academy thought Sky Shadow was arrogant, for he had the strength to defeat Duan Henxi.

“Hmph!” Duan Henxi snorted coldly and then walked towards Feng Wuchen, ignoring Sky Shadow.

“What’s the background of Sky Shadow?” asked Feng Wuchen, intensely curious about him.

Duan Henxi shook his head and said, “I’m not sure either. The royal family couldn’t investigate his identity, but the dean, seeing his amazing talent, let him into the academy. In short, he’s very mysterious.”

“Indeed, very mysterious,” Feng Wuchen nodded, unable to deny it.

No sooner had Duan Henxi come down than Sky Shadow flashed out, his gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen. He then pointed at Feng Wuchen and said arrogantly, “I challenge you!”

“Challenge me?” Feng Wuchen was slightly startled, thinking to himself, was this guy full of hostility just to challenge him?

“What’s the matter? Are you scared?” Sky Shadow was brimming with confidence, as if he had Feng Wuchen completely figured out.

Feng Wuchen shook his head slightly and said, “You’re not my opponent; I advise you to challenge someone else.”

Upon those words of Feng Wuchen, the whole crowd of students instantly erupted.

“Feng Wuchen is too arrogant! He actually says Sky Shadow is not his match.”

“Even if Feng Wuchen is strong, at best he’s just a bit more powerful than the Second Prince. During the previous talent ranking battle, their strengths were not much different. It seems to me he’s afraid of Sky Shadow.”

“It’s said that Sky Shadow defeated the Second Prince without even using his full strength. Even someone of the Ninth Level of the Tianyuan Realm is not his match, yet Feng Wuchen dares to say Sky Shadow can’t beat him.”

The entire academy was in an uproar; Feng Wuchen’s simple statement made them feel he was arrogantly full of himself.

Not only the students, but even the dean and elders thought Feng Wuchen was a bit too presumptuous.

Sky Shadow was renowned as the top talent of the academy, and his strong abilities had been witnessed by the likes of Xing Tianfeng.

Even though Xing Tianfeng was the dean, he wasn’t sure he could defeat Sky Shadow.

“How will you know I’m not your match if you don’t try? Moreover, since it’s I who challenge you, you have no reason to refuse.” Sky Shadow frowned and asked, his face growing cold.

Feng Wuchen said indifferently, “Your talent is indeed dazzling, and your strength is not weak, but you’re genuinely not my opponent.”

“Pavilion Master, can you really defeat him?” Duan Henxi asked in surprise. Duan Henxi couldn’t determine Feng Wuchen’s cultivation and had never been to the Dragon God Palace, so he was completely unaware of Feng Wuchen’s current level.

“Feng Wuchen, you can’t break the rules of the academy this time!” Xing Tianfeng quickly said, also eager to see just how far Feng Wuchen had come.

“This…” Feng Wuchen’s face wore a wry smile. After a slight hesitation, he said, “Alright, since the dean has spoken, I accept your challenge.”

So reluctantly?

Feng Wuchen clearly disrespected Sky Shadow!

“I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant!”

“Feng Wuchen clearly looks down on Sky Shadow!”

“This guy is really asking for a beating!”

Feng Wuchen’s words, undoubtedly, once again stirred up the dissatisfaction of the students.

Sky Shadow’s expression immediately darkened.

Since the day Sky Shadow entered the school, he had stood at the pinnacle of the academy, never surpassed by anyone.

Now, with Feng Wuchen’s blunt statement saying he was not a match, how could Sky Shadow tolerate such an insult?

At that moment, Feng Wuchen had already walked out and arrived at the center of the square.

Looking at Sky Shadow, Feng Wuchen smiled lightly, “Use your full strength, don’t hold back!”

“That will depend on your ability!” Sky Shadow coldly responded.

“I’m referring to your Thunder Attribute power!” Feng Wuchen smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Sky Shadow’s sullen face could not help but change drastically, staring at Feng Wuchen in utter astonishment.

Feng Wuchen actually knew he possessed the power of Lei Ting!

“How does he know I have the power of Lei Ting within me?” Sky Shadow was immensely shocked. No one in the entire academy knew, only Feng Wuchen was able to discern it.

Feng Wuchen was seeing Sky Shadow for the first time, and Sky Shadow had never activated his Thunder Attribute power before, so how could Feng Wuchen know?

Amidst his shock and bewilderment, Sky Shadow had already activated his Thunder Attribute power, which was extremely terrifying, with electric threads intertwining around his body.

“Buzz, buzz!”

The dreadful power of Thunder swept through, causing the square to vibrate and burst with a buzzing noise, scaring the students into backing away in terror.

“What kind of power is this?”

“Sky Shadow’s aura is rising so quickly! Such a terrifying Thunder Attribute power!”

“Sky Shadow has actually been hiding his true strength!”

Feeling the terrifying Thunder Attribute power emanating from Sky Shadow, the students were both terrified and astounded!

“He actually held back his strength in our battle!” Duan Henxi’s face was filled with shock, and he was completely stiff.

Xing Tianfeng, the elders, and the instructors were all dumbstruck—none of them knew that Sky Shadow was hiding such fearsome power.

In the blink of an eye, Sky Shadow’s aura had soared to the Ninth Level of the Tianyuan Realm!

Such a terrifying combat power, let alone the academy’s chancellor Xing Tianfeng, even Emperor Duan Tianhun of the empire had never reached such a terrifying height.

“Where is your Spiritual Artifact?” Feng Wuchen asked with a faint smile.

Even faced with such a formidable Sky Shadow, Feng Wuchen’s face remained unchanged.

This couldn’t help but shock the students.

Could Feng Wuchen truly be that powerful?

“I’m not sure if you can withstand my power!” Sky Shadow frowned slightly, not believing that Feng Wuchen’s strength could indeed be so overbearing.

“Boom!”

With that said, Sky Shadow abruptly stomped on the ground, and with a booming sound, the ground exploded into a large pit, while Sky Shadow’s figure had turned into a flash of blue light and arrived in front of Feng Wuchen.

Sky Shadow threw a punch, fierce and sharp, with an intimidating force.

Sky Shadow reached him in the blink of an eye, yet Feng Wuchen didn’t budge an inch.

“Big brother Wuchen!” Lin You was full of concern.

“He’s really just bluffing!” Seeing Feng Wuchen unmoving, the students showed disdain, all thinking that Feng Wuchen hadn’t noticed.

“Boom!”

Sky Shadow’s attack showed no signs of stalling, his fist landing on Feng Wuchen’s chest with a booming sound. The next second, everyone present was completely stunned.

The entire academy fell silent. Every face froze in place, as if the world had come to a standstill.
