Chapter 166: Chapter 157: On the Life and Death Platform

"That person walking in front, is it Mo Wangchen?"

"I heard that before he joined Yun Chu Academy, he was once considered a useless body, unable to store spiritual power in his veins. Jun Muqing broke off the engagement with the Mo Family for this reason. Looking at him now, hasn’t he reached the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"It’s truly unbelievable. It seems that it’s been less than half a year since Jun Muqing broke off the engagement. In such a short time, he advanced from the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm to the current Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"It’s said that Mo Wangchen is also a third-grade Alchemist. With such achievements, even the five great families in Yunge City wouldn’t dare to easily offend him. That Youth Pill was created by him, perhaps his spirit veins were restored because of some pill he refined?"

"I’m more curious about how many spirit veins he condensed when he broke through the Vein Condesation Realm?"

"It should be just one, or at most two. After all, not everyone can condense three spirit veins like Jun Muqing. Nevertheless, it seems that Mo Wangchen might not be a simple character."

"Heh! So what? When he steps onto the Life and Death Platform, how can his abilities compare to Jun Muqing? Especially with the royal family’s backing..."

"Such a genius in Alchemy Dao, after today, I’m afraid..."

At this point, everyone sighed, as if they were feeling a sense of pity for Mo Wangchen.

As Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao entered the arena, the seated Jun Muqing slowly stood up, standing opposite Mo Wangchen. Her gaze was indifferent, just like when she came to the Mo Family to annul the engagement.

"After today, the matters between us will be completely settled," Jun Muqing said calmly.

"Indeed..."

Mo Wangchen chuckled and then continued, "After today, Yun Country might have to choose another person as the Crown Princess Consort."

His simple words spread across the square, instantly making the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive.

Everyone understood that Mo Wangchen was expressing his belief that today, he could kill Jun Muqing on the platform!

This was a provocation before the battle!

"I’m afraid everything won’t be as you expect," Jun Muqing responded to Mo Wangchen’s provocation with a sneer. She never thought Mo Wangchen could be her match.

"On the Life and Death Platform, there’s no winning or losing, only deciding life and death. Everyone depends on fate!"

Nearby, several Inner Court elders stood up, and the Great Elder spoke aloud.

However, even though the words were spoken, everyone knew that ’depending on fate’ was quite literal in this case.

Because with the royal family as Jun Muqing’s support, no matter what, they couldn’t wish to see Jun Muqing defeated!

After the Great Elder’s words, Jun Muqing gracefully moved to the platform with an elegant demeanor.

Mo Wangchen glanced around; he saw neither Elder Ling nor anyone from the Alchemist Alliance, but Mo Wangchen knew Elder Ling was surely hiding in the shadows and would appear if something happened.

"Father didn’t come either..."

A moment later, Mo Wangchen withdrew his gaze, frowning slightly. He couldn’t see his father’s figure either.

But ten days ago, in the letter he received, his father clearly stated he would come, so why isn’t he here now?

Though puzzled, Mo Wangchen had no time to think about his father with Jun Muqing already on the Life and Death Platform.

Step, step, step!

Just as Mo Wangchen took a step towards the platform, a clamor of footsteps came from beyond the square.

It sounded like thousands of horses galloping, with the ground lightly vibrating. Everyone turned to look and saw a cavalry charging toward the square.

The cavalry, numbering in the hundreds, emitted an aura of killing intent, chilling everyone’s hearts!

Leading the cavalry, Crown Prince Yun Yi rode a tall black horse, clad in dark golden battle armor, exuding a formidable presence.

"It’s the Crown Prince? The royal family has come?"

With the cavalry’s arrival, there was unrest in the square.

"This is the Black Evil Iron Cavalry guarding the Yun Country’s border, and every one of them has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. They are battle-hardened; who would have thought the royal family would deploy such a force..."

Many felt a chill in their hearts, sensing the murderous aura from the cavalry, and their expressions changed.

"Muqing, fight without restraint. I, the Crown Prince, assure you that no one can intervene!" Yun Yi dismounted from his horse, took a few steps forward, looked at Jun Muqing, and declared aloud.

After speaking, Yun Yi’s gaze turned to Mo Wangchen, with a cold smile on his face.

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly. Upon seeing the cavalry Yun Yi brought, a subtle unease arose in his heart...

Taking a deep breath, Mo Wangchen cast aside all thoughts and stepped onto the Life and Death Platform, standing opposite Jun Muqing.

"A few months ago, you came to the Mo Family to annul the engagement. At that time, you looked down on me as if I were an ant. To you, I, Mo Wangchen, was insignificant. But today, months later, upon meeting again, I am now a third-grade Alchemist, with my cultivation having reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. Jun Muqing, you surely never anticipated all this, did you?"

Mo Wangchen looked at Jun Muqing and spoke calmly, his face emotionless.

"Today’s situation indeed exceeded my expectations..."

After a moment of silence, Jun Muqing replied, "But what of it? It won’t change the fate of you being slain by me!"

Mo Wangchen’s growth and transformation surpassed Jun Muqing’s expectations, shocking her. His progress had already become a threat, and if Mo Wangchen wasn’t eliminated, it would be a danger to her and the Jun Family.

That is why today’s Life and Death battle, watched by all of Yun Country, had come to be!

"If you still believe I pose no threat to you, then Jun Muqing, you are mistaken. You think you know me well and believe I cannot be your match, that I must be slain by you today..."

"But my growth is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Mo Wangchen smiled faintly, his voice echoing, and in the next moment, a powerful aura began to emanate from him.

Starting from the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it gradually increased.

Spirit Transformation Realm Level Two...

Spirit Transformation Realm Level Three...

Around the platform, everyone became silent, so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

Until Mo Wangchen’s aura reached the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, a collective gasp spread through the crowd, and astonishment appeared on every face.

"Spirit Transformation Realm Level Four! How is this possible?!"
