Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon

Wu Hao’s expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Originally, he thought Ling Chen’s breakthrough should be at the Primordial Pill Realm level.

Such a breakthrough typically takes two to three hours.

However, who could have expected that Ling Chen was breaking through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Primordial Pill Realm?

A breakthrough between such major realms, to say the least, would take a day or two, and at most, five to six days would not be surprising.

After all, compressing the Spirit Sea into a Primordial Pill is not an easy task.

Back in his day, it took him four days to break through.

"It seems that the selection competition will have to be interrupted."

Wu Hao thought to himself.

Ling Chen’s breakthrough taking such a long time, coupled with his occupation of the battle platform, made it impossible to continue.

Even if a new battle platform were to be built, it would probably take a day.

Of course, he didn’t announce the interruption of the competition immediately.

Instead, he continued to watch.

Time slowly passed, and some of the students in the Martial Arts Arena started to get impatient.

Watching Ling Chen sitting there motionless was really boring.

It was only core students and the higher-ups of the Academic Palace who were very patient.

Immersed in his breakthrough, Ling Chen was almost unaware of the passing of time.

Periodically, he would take out some Returning Essence Pills to consume.

For others, this would be absolutely unthinkable.

It was only with his powerful Divine Soul Telekinesis that Ling Chen dared to stabilize his cultivation while breaking through.

Seeing this, the cultivators at the Primordial Pill Realm level all changed their expressions.

Originally, compressing the Spirit Sea was a very dangerous affair.

Apart from the initial consumption of elixirs or absorption of Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones to trigger a breakthrough, no cultivator would dare to be distracted.

Moreover, an increase in Spiritual Power would greatly increase the difficulty of forming the Primordial Pill.

At the same time, the risk would also greatly increase.

Every year, there were always a few unlucky ones who, during their breakthrough to the Primordial Pill Realm, accidentally caused their Spirit Sea to shatter, turning them into cripples.

Yet Ling Chen blatantly took elixirs, which was extremely dangerous.

This left Palace Master Mo Han and others feeling terrified.

However, at this critical moment of breakthrough, there was no way for him to intervene; everything had to be handled by Ling Chen himself.

He could only watch helplessly.

An hour passed, and Ling Chen’s Spirit Sea had already compressed by half, with the Spiritual Power in it transforming from a liquid state to a mixed state of solid and liquid.

Two hours passed.

It was already afternoon.

Seeing that Ling Chen still hadn’t made the breakthrough, Wu Hao looked at Palace Master Mo Han. Seeing him nod, Wu Hao loudly declared, "The selection competition is now paused temporarily, and the specific resumption time will be announced later."

After all, Ling Chen was in the midst of his breakthrough, and it was unclear how much longer it would take.

Moreover, with Ling Chen occupying the first position, if someone challenged him, Ling Chen would have to respond.

The delay of this selection competition was because of Ling Chen.

Naturally, they would not eliminate Ling Chen just because he was breaking through.

Keep in mind, this session’s Eight Palaces Martial Discussion was still counting on Ling Chen!

Since that was the case, they might as well wait until after Ling Chen’s breakthrough to continue.

"Boom!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a loud noise erupted from the battle platform.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw Ling Chen, who had been sitting crossed-legged, standing up.

A faint smile lingered on his lips.

"Primordial Pill Realm?"

Ling Chen opened his eyes, from which nearly blinding brilliance shone.

At this moment, a fist-sized black Primordial Pill in his Dantian rose and spun continuously.

After three hours, he had finally broken through to the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Is he already through?"

Wu Hao was dumbfounded.

Feeling the aura on Ling Chen’s body, it was undoubtedly the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Isn’t this too fast?"

The cultivators at the Primordial Pill Realm exclaimed in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Using just two hours, he broke through to the Primordial Pill Realm, making this efficiency incredibly high.

One should know, normally, breaking through a minor realm within the Primordial Pill Realm would take them two to three hours!

Yet, Ling Chen clearly broke through a major realm!

Ling Chen looked at Wu Hao and smiled, "Deputy Palace Master, there’s no need for a break now, right? I have already broken through."

Hearing Ling Chen personally admitting it, everyone’s expressions changed again.

Then, a bitter look spread across their faces.

Truly, comparing one person with another could be deadly, comparing goods made one deemed as trash!

Wu Hao was first stunned, then he quickly reacted, smiling, "Do you need to stabilize your cultivation base?"

Usually, after a breakthrough, it generally takes some time to familiarize oneself with Spiritual Power and stabilize the realm.

"No need."

Ling Chen shook his head.

Stabilizing the realm, he had already completed during the breakthrough.

With his current control ability, he equally didn’t need to familiarize himself with Spiritual Power.

Spiritual Power, well, he just needed to familiarize himself with it during his free time.

Hearing this, Wu Hao could only nod and said, "All students, since Ling Chen has completed his breakthrough, let’s continue with the selection competition!"

At this moment, Ling Chen had already returned to his seat on the Observation Platform.

Meanwhile, Wan Er and others were staring at Ling Chen in disbelief.

Originally, Ling Chen’s cultivation was much weaker than theirs.

But now, Ling Chen had thoroughly left them behind.

Two hours passed, and the participating students had all recovered their Spiritual Power, and their injuries were mostly healed.

"Alright, now, who wants to issue a challenge?"

Wu Hao looked towards the southern Observation Platform.

"I want to challenge Junior Sister Ling Wu!"

A voice sounded.

Everyone looked, and it was Chen Yichen, a participant who had been defeated by Ling Chen.

He was a late-stage cultivator in the single-layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, the highest-level cultivator among the participants.

Moreover, he was two minor realms higher than Ling Wu in cultivation and had learned the Heavenly Spirit Technique, confident in his combat capabilities to defeat Ling Wu.

He wasn’t a match for Ling Chen, but competing for the second-place position was still possible.

"Alright!"

Ling Wu responded.

Then, her delicate body moved, and she was the first to land on the Martial Arts Arena.

Wu Hao looked at Chen Yichen and remained silent.

Ling Wu possessed a Sacred Body, and in terms of Spiritual Power, she was indeed stronger than Chen Yichen.

Therefore, he was not worried about Ling Wu.

On the Martial Arts Arena.

Chen Yichen smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ling Wu, be careful!"

He didn’t care about maintaining the demeanor of a senior brother; his Spiritual Power roared out, infusing into a longsword that appeared out of thin air.

"Heavenly Heart Sword Technique!"

Chen Yichen shouted loudly, a Sword Qi slashed towards Ling Wu.

"Damn, this Senior Brother Chen is really lacking in chivalry, isn’t he?"

"Exactly, he doesn’t understand at all how to treat the fairer sex with gentleness!"

"Is he even a man? How could he strike so ruthlessly?"

...

In the Martial Arts Arena, many students were filled with righteous indignation.

Ling Wu’s looks and talent had already captured a large number of admirers; seeing Chen Yichen attack so fiercely, naturally, they wanted to speak up for Ling Wu.

However, no trace of worry appeared on Ling Wu’s delicate face.

With a flourish of her hand, a black longsword emerged.

"A medium-grade Spiritual Weapon?"

On the Martial Arts Arena, Chen Yichen’s eyes narrowed, and his complexion changed drastically.

He thought he had assurance of victory, but he didn’t expect that Ling Wu would have a medium-grade Spiritual Weapon.

A medium-grade Spiritual Weapon, sufficient to bridge the gap in Spiritual Power between the two!

"Good!"

Wu Hao naturally recognized it as well.

Ling Wu using a medium-grade Spiritual Weapon, without revealing the power of her Sacred Body, hiding her true strength in this manner, was indeed very wise.
