Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 233: Breakthrough in Public

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Breakthrough in Public

The upper echelons of the Academic Palace, apart from Palace Master Mo Han and Deputy Palace Master Wu Hao, all looked bewildered.

They had no idea when Ling Wu, Yu Huai, and Bai Wangchuan had mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique!

This is the Heavenly Spirit Technique!

Even some of them have never successfully cultivated it!

Yet, in the hands of these students who are only at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, it seemed so effortlessly executed.

It made them wonder if what they had been cultivating was really the Heavenly Spirit Technique.

Why does the level of difficulty feel completely different?

The challenge continues.

A core student at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm initiated a challenge, his opponent being the third-ranked Wan Er.

Now, among the top five competitors, three had used the Heavenly Spirit Technique, Ling Chen had used it before and also exhibited terrifying speed, naturally, these four weren’t suitable opponents, thus the challenger had to set his sights on Wan Er.

Wan Er gladly accepted.

When she displayed the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique, an inferior Heavenly Spirit Technique, the challenger’s face turned green, and he immediately conceded by admitting defeat.

The faces of the registered competitors drastically changed.

All of the top five could use the Heavenly Spirit Technique; how could they possibly compete?

Thus, most competitors could only turn their gaze to the sixth place, the substitute competitor.

Regular competitors, they had no hope.

They could only challenge for a substitute position.

Another student at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm stepped forward to challenge Ye Xun.

Ye Xun was at the initial ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, possessing only a regular Spiritual Body, although it was a Dual Attribute Spiritual Body, the enhancement of Spiritual Power was no different from an ordinary Spiritual Body.

And he was at the early first level of the Primordial Pill Realm, also possessing an Earth Spirit Body, with a level of Spiritual Power one level higher than Ye Xun.

For Ye Xun to win, he must use a Heavenly Spirit Technique.

"Be careful, Junior Ye!"

The student at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm shouted loudly, as earthy yellow Spiritual Power swept out, and he instantly charged towards Ye Xun.

At the same time, his hand produced a Sword Energy, which was unexpectedly a superior Mystic Spirit Art!

However, Ye Xun slightly curved his lips and also released a Sword Qi.

What confronted this first level of the Primordial Pill Realm student was suddenly the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique.

"Bang!"

The student at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm desperately spurred his Spiritual Power to withstand this strike.

Yet, he was already injured.

"Another Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

The Martial Arts Arena erupted in an uproar.

Even the substitute competitor had mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique.

That is to say, the top six had all learned the Heavenly Spirit Technique.

The registered competitors all had bitter expressions.

Not to mention they each had three chances, even thirty chances would be useless.

Many of them didn’t even have higher Cultivation levels than these six, let alone defeat the six who had mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique!

And there are still several competitors who mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique not yet among these six!

A silence fell over the Observation Platform.

Feeling the somewhat awkward atmosphere on the platform, Wu Hao had no choice but to speak up: "Next, who wants to challenge?"

Just then, Ling Chen suddenly stood up.

"Deputy Palace Master, I’m about to make a breakthrough now, should someone challenge me, please ask them to wait a moment."

"What, a breakthrough?"

A look of surprise appeared on Wu Hao’s face.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded.

During this period, he had constantly used Spiritual Power to evolve star power and cultivate the Undying Star Body.

Although he hadn’t specifically cultivated Spiritual Power, this method subtly strengthened his Spiritual Power, reaching the threshold of advancement.

"Very well!"

Wu Hao nodded emphatically: "Come, break through on the battle platform!"

He could tell that there would probably be more challengers.

Like Chen Yichen, Yu Huai, and others.

However, they had just gone through a battle, and it would take some time for them to recover their cultivation and heal their injuries.

The rest had been too intimidated by the terrifying strength displayed by Ling Chen and his group to dare to challenge.

Since Ling Chen was going to break through, they might as well wait for his breakthrough.

This would give these participants some peaceful time, and also an opportunity to truly witness Ling Chen’s level of cultivation.

He always felt that Ling Chen being at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm seemed somewhat unreal.

Two months had passed and to say that Ling Chen had not improved at all, he simply would not believe it to death!

Palace Master Mo Han, who was on the observation platform on the north side, also spoke up: "Ling Chen, go ahead and break through here, consider it a motivation for the students! Let them see how far you’ve come in less than a year since joining the Academic Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen nodded, his figure moved and he dashed to the stage.

This breakthrough was naturally occurring; forcibly suppressing it could lead to adverse effects.

Besides, with the talent he had shown, Mo Han would definitely make sure he was well protected and not disturbed.

Thus, he was not worried.

Everyone in the Martial Arts Arena looked at each other, then realization dawned on them, and a look of joy covered their faces.

They were actually fortunate enough to witness the breakthrough of such an unparalleled genius like Ling Chen?

Ling Chen sat cross-legged; one by one, Returning Essence Pills flew out of his storage ring and into his mouth.

After swallowing a total of twenty Returning Essence Pills, Ling Chen made hand seals and pretended to cultivate and refine the pills using a Spiritual Technique.

"Is he really cultivating using Elixirs?"

A flurry of discussions broke out among the crowd.

Normally during their breakthroughs, they would refine the Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones.

However, Ling Chen was directly consuming Elixirs.

And consuming so many at once was terrifying.

This was also the first time for most people to see Ling Chen cultivating.

"These are Returning Essence Pills!"

Mo Han’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

Returning Essence Pills are normally used by cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm to restore their Spiritual Power.

Yet, Ling Chen was using Returning Essence Pills to achieve the effect of Spirit Stones.

The Spiritual Energy in the Returning Essence Pills was quickly transformed into dark Night Moon Spiritual Power and circulated into the Spirit Sea inside his Dantian.

His Spirit Sea was already at its limit.

As this Spiritual Power flowed in, the Spirit Sea was almost bursting.

"Condense!"

Ling Chen roared in his heart, desperately compressing his Spirit Sea to make it shrink.

The breakthrough from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Primordial Pill Realm is essentially the process of compressing the liquid Spiritual Power in the Spirit Sea into the solid Spiritual Power of a Primordial Pill.

A typical cultivator would need several days to compress the Spirit Sea slowly and finally condense it into a Primordial Pill.

However, Ling Chen didn’t need to go through such trouble.

Because he was also a top-tier Divine Thought Master!

His Divine Soul Telekinesis was even stronger than his Spiritual Power!

How could the beginner stage Spiritual Power of the Primordial Pill Realm resist against the early phase Divine Soul Telekinesis of his cultivation state?

Streams of Divine Soul Telekinesis surged out from his Sea of Consciousness, gathering in the Dantian.

Then, they shaped into two invisible large hands that compressed the Spirit Sea from both sides toward the middle.

Of course, Ling Chen did not dare to be too violent.

After all, if he was too forceful and burst the Spirit Sea, it would be too late for regrets.

Nevertheless, this method was much faster than the slow grinding and compressing method used by typical cultivators during their breakthroughs.

Time slowly passed.

Both Mo Han and Wu Hao were stunned.

Now, at the critical moment of the breakthrough, Ling Chen would definitely not deliberately hide his strength.

But in their perception, Ling Chen was indeed breaking through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Primordial Pill Realm!

Could it be that over these two months, Ling Chen really hasn’t made any progress at all?
