Chapter 446: Chapter 122 Battle Against Awakening Vein Realm Fifth Layer Expert
âLuo Cheng, let it go!â
Chen Lingyu didnât want to cause trouble for Luo Cheng and gently pulled on his arm.
After all, the opponent was a Fifth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert.
A whole three realms higher than Luo Cheng!
She was worried Luo Cheng would suffer a loss.
Moreover, Yuan Qianyu wasnât just a mere Core Elder Disciple.
Yuan Qianyuâs elder brother, Yuan Qingying, was one of the former Top Ten True Disciples!
Even though Yuan Qingying had been defeated by Yun Mengli and lost his position in the Top Ten, his strength remained lofty and formidable.
âDonât worry.â
Luo Cheng shook his head, facing Yuan Qianyuâs aggressive glare without an ounce of retreat:
âOf course I mean it! I never go back on my word.â
Having grasped 30% Sword Intent, his strength had advanced significantly. So far, Luo Cheng hadnât truly fought with all his might, and he felt a sense of regret.
Yuan Qianyu, as a Middle-Stage Fifth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expertâ
was the perfect opponent to test how far his true abilities could go.
Additionally, Luo Cheng wanted to use this battle to establish his dominance.
Otherwise, every random nobody would think they could mock and provoke him.
How was he supposed to keep cultivating like that?
As for losing, Luo Cheng never entertained the idea.
Before mastering 30% Sword Intent, he had already slain Qin Douyuan, a Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm cultivator.
Now that he understood 30% Sword Intent, his strength had skyrocketed.
And with the Thunder Hidden Sword in handâ
The combination amplified his combat power far more than just marginally!
Even if he couldnât overpower Yuan Qianyu, the gap wouldnât be large.
âHaha! Excellent! Such audacity!â
Hearing Luo Chengâs mocking response, Yuan Qianyu laughed instead of growing angry.
Initially, he had felt caught in an awkward position, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Who could have expected Luo Cheng to be so audacious and ignorant?
To fight him for the sake of an Outer Disciple!
He should know that every additional layer of cultivation in the Awakening Vein Realm meant a massive disparity in strength.
Even if Luo Cheng had slain Qin Douyuan, a Middle-Stage Fourth Layer Awakening Vein cultivatorâ
he was insignificant before a Fifth Layer Awakening Vein master.
For Luo Cheng to act so boastfully in front of himâit was pure recklessness courting death!
âEveryone, youâve heard it. Heâs the one who insisted on fighting me!â
Although somewhat wary of Luo Chengâs status as a Supreme Elderâs disciple, Yuan Qianyu confidently declared to the crowd before stepping into the open space at the center of the hall. He then looked at Luo Cheng with an air of superiority, saying:
âKid, I wonât bully you. If you can withstand one move from me and remain standing, you win! I wonât say another word and will leave the hall immediately. But if you canât, youâll leave this hall and never mention the rewards again. How about it?â
After all, being a Fifth Layer Awakening Vein expert, dueling Luo Cheng felt beneath him.
With such terms, he could justify unleashing his full power without guilt!
âOne move? Iâll take it!â
Luo Cheng ignored Yuan Qianyuâs schemes and simply nodded.
The entire hall erupted in astonishment.
No one thought Luo Cheng would actually agree!
The gap between them was three whole realms.
No matter how strong Luo Cheng was, he couldnât possibly withstand Yuan Qianyu, could he?
The elders present chose not to interfere.
The path of cultivation was a struggle, after all.
The Sect Rules were only meant to prevent infighting among disciples. Regular disputes and competitionsâso long as they were not excessiveâwere generally overlooked.
After all, if everything was micromanaged, how would the rankings within the sect work? Without competition, fostering the disciplesâ growth would be even harder.
The members of Crown Prince Hall, eager to see Luo Cheng humiliated, certainly wouldnât intervene.
As for the Ninth Elder, while he understood Luo Chengâs temperament well, he knew that since Luo Cheng had agreed, there was no turning back.
Furthermore, these people had indeed gone too far. Backing down now would only further embolden them.
His only concern was whether Luo Chengâs battle prowess could truly bridge a three-realm gap.
The crowd quickly stepped back, clearing a large space in the hall.
Luo Cheng walked into the center of the space and stood facing Yuan Qianyu.
Seeing Luo Chengâs straightforward approach, Yuan Qianyu sneered and directly unleashed his Martial Soul. A crimson flame, gleaming with seven stars, materialized!
Boom!
The moment the Martial Soul appeared, Yuan Qianyuâs aura surged, an overwhelming heatwave sweeping across the hall. The air itself crackled under its intense blaze.
His whole body radiated a dazzling glazed-glass brilliance!
âWhat a powerful aura! Glazed Glass Energyâthis indicates heâs cultivated the Liu Xin Technique to the Third Layer!â
âIt seems Yuan Qianyu has no intention of holding back!â
The sight of Yuan Qianyuâs Martial Soul left the onlookers stunned.
Those who initially had even a shred of hope for Luo Cheng now shook their heads, convinced he couldnât possibly withstand Yuan Qianyu.
Many Crown Prince Hall members wore faces of schadenfreude.
Chen Lingyu and Lin Xiaoyun looked tense, while even the Ninth Elder furrowed his brows.
At this point, they had no choice but to put their trust in Luo Cheng!
As Yuan Qianyuâs aura climbed to its peak, he raised his chin and looked down at Luo Cheng:
âShow me your full strength! Otherwise, I canât guarantee what might happen.â
âEnough nonsense. Letâs begin!â
Clang!
Against such a formidable Fifth Layer opponent, Luo Cheng refused to underestimate him. The moment the Thunder Hidden Sword was unsheathed, he unleashed his Martial Soul!
Whoosh!
A radiant sword light flooded the hall for an instant, stabbing at everyoneâs eyes. Yuan Qianyuâs oppressive aura was instantly split apart.
âThis is⊠30% Sword Intent!â
âThe rumors were true!â
Several Inner Sect disciples gasped in disbelief.
Sword Intent was universally acknowledged as one of the hardest disciplines to master!
Even among the Inner Sect, few swordsmen ever comprehended it.
And yet, Luo Cheng, at such a young age, wielding a Wasted Martial Soulâ
had managed to grasp 30% Sword Intent. Truly unbelievable!
Yuan Qianyu raised an eyebrow, then let out a derisive laugh:
âSo what if itâs 30% Sword Intent? Before me, itâs still worthless! The gap between the early and middle stages of the Awakening Vein Realm is insurmountable. You canât stop me! Witness how I defeat you with one punch!â
With a roar, Yuan Qianyu leapt into the air, his fist radiating blinding white light as though it were no longer flesh but a pure, flawless chunk of glazed glass!
âPrimordial Extreme Explosion!â
Boom!
As the punch descended, the ferocious white brilliance engulfed the hall. The violent Fist Power fractured the air in front of him into crystalline ripples, shaking the entire hall!
Before the punch landed, its suffocating pressure enveloped Luo Cheng completely. This was, without question, the strongest opponent Luo Cheng had ever faced!
Luo Cheng hesitated no longer. His eyes flared with a sharp brilliance as he unleashed his most powerful strike!
âDivine Wind Absolute Kill!â
Bang!
The Thunder Hidden Sword erupted with brilliant radiance, a Sword Qi Tornado tearing through the air with deafening sonic booms, roaring forward.
The two forces collided fiercely.
In the next instantâ
The brilliant white light blinded everyone, consuming their vision entirely.
Thenâ
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap resounded as hurricane-like Qi Force burst from the point of impact, wreaking havoc across the hall!
âWatch out!â
Several lower-cultivation Inner Sect disciples were sent flying and had to hastily deploy Protective Essence Energy.
The Ninth Elder erected an Essence Energy barrier to shield Chen Lingyu and Lin Xiaoyun.
Who had won?
As the dazzling light faded, everyone squinted to see the center of the battlefield.
Gasps filled the hall as expressions of disbelief surfaced on everyoneâs faces.
At the center of the hall, Luo Cheng had retreated a dozen steps, his robes billowing in the aftermath of the Qi Force, standing tall with an aura as sharp as a sword!
Opposite him, Yuan Qianyu slammed against a pillar dozens of meters away, his robes in tatters. A bloody sword wound streaked across his right hand, and his complexion shone with a pale golden hue.
Gah!
Finally, unable to suppress the chaotic Qi and blood within, Yuan Qianyu spat out a mouthful of blood like an arrow.
