Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Battle of Life and Death (Seeking Recommendations)

True Martial Academy is divided into three palaces and one hall.

The Life-and-Death Platform is located within the outer palace of the three.

The outer palace covers the largest area, and all students can enter, which is why it is set up here.

In just three days, the news of Ling Chen’s life-and-death duel with Su Qingyun has already spread throughout the entire True Martial Academy.

One is an outer palace student, and the other is a core student.

One with no talent for cultivation, and the other possessing the Golden Spiritual Body.

Despite their differences in identity, talent, and even strength being starkly clear, Ling Chen’s decision to duel Su Qingyun has naturally caught the attention of countless people.

It even alarmed one of the three Deputy Palace Masters, Vice Palace Master Wu.

Originally, he had no plans to come.

But he couldn’t withstand the pleading of his beloved disciple Ling Wu, and so he made his way here.

In addition, there were the Divine Thought Hall Master Gu Qingyang, Elder Bai Qian, Elder Feng who was in charge of the True Martial Tower assessment three days ago, and many other high-ranking members of the academy.

At this moment, countless students gathered below the Life-and-Death Platform.

The students grouped themselves distinctly, automatically forming different circles according to their status.

"Psh, a mere student of the outer palace dares to challenge one of us core students, truly seeking death!"

"Exactly! Junior Su possesses the Golden Spiritual Body! Although he is only at the early sixth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, ordinary cultivators of the seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm might not even be his match, and here is a kid from the fifth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, haha, he really doesn’t know his own limits!"

"Hehe, if someone is bent on seeking their own demise, there’s nothing we can do!"

...

Many core students sneered.

In their eyes, Ling Chen challenging Su Qingyun is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"Young Master Lingchen, aren’t you being a bit too careless?"

"After all, Su Qingyun is a sixth-layer Spirit Sea Realm spiritual body possessor!"

"That’s right, based on the True Martial Tower assessment three days ago, Young Master Lingchen clearly isn’t as strong as Su Qingyun!"

"Indeed, everyone was up against soldiers, and Young Master Lingchen only made it through six layers, while Su Qingyun passed seven layers!"

"Ah, really too young and arrogant!"

...

Outer palace students also discussed among themselves, not favoring Ling Chen’s chances.

Even though Ling Chen had the remarkable feat of defeating Bai Wentai, they still couldn’t believe that Ling Chen could beat Su Qingyun!

"Ignorant!"

Chen Mo shook his head disdainfully.

Others might not know, but he was very clear!

Ling Chen was none other than the super-strong individual who had won the title of Fighting King and could even use the Heavenly Spirit Technique!

Moreover, that was over two months ago, when Ling Chen’s cultivation was only at the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Now, Ling Chen’s strength must be even more terrifying!

A sixth layer Spirit Sea Realm cultivator like Su Qingyun truly stands no chance against Ling Chen.

It’s Su Qingyun who is seeking death!

"Here he comes!"

Just at that moment, someone exclaimed.

The crowd looked towards the voice and saw a young man in a blue robe confidently walking towards them, wearing a self-assured smile, it was Su Qingyun.

The crowd automatically cleared a path, Su Qingyun walked along the aisle, and when he was about ten feet away from the Life-and-Death Platform, he lightly stepped forward, his figure gracefully leaping into the air and landing on the Life-and-Death Platform.

"Bravo!"

The core students couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

"Ling Chen, where are you? Come up and meet your death!"

Su Qingyun’s voice, tinged with a hint of murderous intent, resonated loudly.

As soon as these words were uttered, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

"Haven’t arrived yet?"

Su Qingyun sneered, then sat down on the Life-and-Death Platform and began to rest with his eyes closed.

"It seems you really can’t wait to seek death, huh?"

Just as his eyes closed, a faint voice sounded.

A young man in a green robe appeared at the edge of the plaza where the Life-and-Death Platform was located.

"You finally came. I thought you’d be too scared to show up," Su Qingyun’s lips curled up in a sneer.

Ling Chen walked over slowly, smiling as he spoke, "If I were absent, who would escort you on your final journey?"

"What a sharp-tongued brat, I hope you can still be this tough later!"

Su Qingyun lifted his right hand and made a light grasping motion.

Ling Chen responded, "On the contrary, I hope you can still be this arrogant later!"

"Hmph!"

Su Qingyun snorted coldly and said, "Enough talk, come up here and meet your death!"

Ling Chen chuckled lightly, "Unfortunately, it’s bound to be you who dies today!"

In the midst of the conversation, Ling Chen had already stepped onto the platform of life and death.

At that moment, a Black Robed Elder holding a scroll walked between the two and said solemnly, "Both of you, sign the death agreement first! Remember, once this contract is signed, only one of you can walk away alive. If you have any doubts, it’s still not too late to back out now!"

This person was the witnessing Elder for this life-and-death battle.

"Swish swish!"

Without a moment of hesitation, Ling Chen grabbed the pen and signed his name on the document.

"If you’re too scared, then get lost!"

Ling Chen taunted Su Qingyun.

"Who said I’m scared?"

A flicker of murderous intent passed through Su Qingyun’s eyes as he snatched the pen and wrote his name on the death agreement.

In terms of talent, cultivation, and mastery of Spirit Art, he surpassed Ling Chen!

Why would he hesitate to sign the death agreement?

The witnessing Elder shook his head, took hold of the scroll containing the death agreement, and walked around the platform, making a public announcement.

"The death agreement is in effect. Let the fight begin!"

Having said that, the witnessing Elder jumped off the platform of life and death.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the Spirit Array on the platform was activated, and four beams of light shot into the sky, enveloping the platform within them. The light gradually faded, revealing the situation atop the platform.

As long as both combatants were alive, the Spirit Array would stay active. Only when one of them died would the Spirit Array be turned off.

"Brat, prepare to die!"

Su Qingyun’s body shuddered as the aura of an early six-layer Spirit Sea Realm swept out, exhibiting Spiritual Power comparable to that of an early seven-layer practitioner.

Under the envelope of his Golden Spiritual Power, Su Qingyun seemed like a golden war deity.

In stark contrast to Su Qingyun, Ling Chen did not harness any Spiritual Power; he just stood there calmly, not at all resembling a cultivator about to engage in a battle to the death!

"Bang!"

Seeing how complacent Ling Chen appeared, Su Qingyun snorted coldly, stomped his foot on the ground, and shot towards Ling Chen like an arrow leaving the bow.

At the same time, he clenched his fists tightly, and the Spiritual Power within him converged onto his right fist, shaping into a golden fist that smashed fiercely towards Ling Chen’s head!

Watching the golden fist rapidly enlarge within his sight, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took a step backward. The Black Spiritual Power converged onto his right hand and he too threw out a powerful punch.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, producing a thunderous roar like a massive clap of thunder, causing the entire platform to tremble violently.

"Bang bang bang!"

Both men were forced back thirty feet.

This time, they were evenly matched.

"So strong!"

The observing cultivators gasped in awe.

Even the core students found Ling Chen’s formidable strength inconceivable.

"How is this possible? How can your Spiritual Power be so strong?"

Su Qingyun’s face showed his disbelief.

In that probing strike just now, neither of them had employed any profound Spirit Art; it was a pure contest of Spiritual Power.

Yet he had not gained the slightest advantage.

He was at the early six-layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and only with the amplification from his Golden Spiritual Power could he compare to the early seven-layer level!

But wasn’t Ling Chen supposed to be late five-layer of the Spirit Sea Realm?

How could it be that his Spiritual Power was just as strong?
