Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 318: Breakthrough

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Breakthrough

"Ling Chen, such a genius, I believe the Dark Night Association would be very willing to take action,"

Wei Tongxuan thought to himself.

Ling Chen is a student of the Star Academic Palace and is also considered a part of the Great Xia Royal Family.

And the Dark Night specifically opposes the Great Xia Royal Family.

They probably wouldn’t want to see a genius like Ling Chen grow up.

With this thought, Wei Tongxuan felt much more settled.

"Young Master Ling, when you see your master again, please convey my admiration to Lord Arrow God!"

Wei Tongxuan said to Ling Chen.

"No problem."

Ling Chen smiled.

Two hours later, the banquet ended.

Wei Tongxuan personally escorted Ling Chen to the door, then had Wei Yuan personally take Ling Chen and his three companions back to the inn.

In the inn.

"I’ll be secluded in cultivation for a day or two, arrange yourselves and be careful."

Ling Chen smiled.

At the conclusion of the banquet, he faintly sensed signs of a breakthrough.

"Okay, big brother!"

Ling Wu smiled.

Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Xiaodu also nodded in agreement.

"If you go out, make sure to disguise your appearances to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

Ling Chen cautioned.

With the example of Wei Lan before them, Ling Chen naturally could not be careless.

The three ladies together, each with their distinctive charms, were too eye-catching.

"Understood."

The three ladies responded.

"Mhm."

Ling Chen nodded, then entered his room.

Before retreating into seclusion, he notified Uncle Cang through the Communication Token to help keep an eye on Ling Wu and the others.

Although he had made the Wei Family, who controlled Nanshan City, submit, he couldn’t be careless.

In the room, after setting up an Early Warning Spirit Array and the Illusion Spirit Array, Ling Chen stepped into the Illusion Spirit Array and disappeared.

Then, he arranged a Spirit Gathering Array within the Illusion Spirit Array.

"Bang bang bang!"

He clenched his fists, and ten high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones instantly shattered, releasing copious amounts of Spiritual Energy, which was then confined within the Spirit Gathering Array.

With the storage ring from Jiang Wuyan, Ling Chen’s cultivation was luxurious beyond measure.

Directly using high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

Ling Chen activated the Night Moon Saint Body, channeling the extremely dense Spiritual Energy into his body.

"Refine!"

Ling Chen sat cross-legged, refining the streams of Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Power, then guiding it towards the Primordial Pill in his Dantian.

Over time, Ling Chen’s Primordial Pill gradually began to swell.

"Bang!"

Three hours later, the Primordial Pill trembled, emitting a deep sound.

"Primordial Pill Realm Level Two!"

Ling Chen’s eyes emitted a sharp gleam.

He had broken through the Primordial Pill Realm quite some time ago and had experienced several intense battles. Using high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, this breakthrough was just a matter of course.

Currently, what limited his combat power was his Spiritual Power.

His Spiritual Power was simply too scarce.

In fights against mid-stage geniuses of the Primordial Pill Realm, even with mastery of high-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques, his Spiritual Power was not enough to use them many times.

Thus, this severely limited his strength.

If not for his Divine Soul reaching the Transformative stage and successfully cultivating his Undying Star Body, challenging higher levels would still be a considerable challenge for him.

After all, the geniuses he would encounter in the future would be even more formidable.

Super Spiritual Bodies would also be quite common.

Now that he had advanced to the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm and his Spiritual Power had somewhat thickened, he should be slightly more capable of wielding high-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques.

Following this, Ling Chen did not immediately end his seclusion.

Instead, he chose to continue cultivating.

One day later, Ling Chen emerged from seclusion.

His cultivation had stabilized at the early stages of the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Upon reaching the Primordial Pill Realm, Ling Chen’s cultivation speed also gradually slowed down.

After all, breaking through a realm required an immense amount of Spiritual Energy.

Unless one found some heaven-sent treasures.

However, his Spiritual Power was now comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator in the middle stages of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Typically, a cultivator possessing a Sacred Body could have Spiritual Power three levels higher than ordinary cultivators at the same level.

However, Ling Chen possessed an extremely peculiar Sacred Body.

His cultivation speed was extremely fast, and he encountered no bottlenecks.

As long as there was enough Spiritual Power, he could advance.

Therefore, his Spiritual Power would be somewhat inferior compared to other Sacred Bodies.

But, once Ling Chen’s cultivation reached the Palace Mansion Realm, the true power of the Night Moon Saint Body’s Spiritual Power would be revealed.

After emerging from seclusion, Ling Chen summoned Ling Wu and the other two, preparing to continue their journey to King City.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tongxuan, the Wei Family Patriarch, personally came again to see them off.

Considering that he had killed one member of the Wei Family and injured another,

it was astonishing that the Wei Family Patriarch did not hold a grudge and personally saw them off.

It was a bit too enthusiastic.

Initially, Ling Chen thought the Wei Family was sincerely thanking him, but now it seemed rather strange.

Wei Tongxuan coming to see them off caused a huge stir in Nanshan City.

Especially among the cultivators who had previously met Ling Chen.

Ling Chen had crippled Wei Lan, and this distinguished controller of Nanshan City was actually willing to reconcile.

This overturned their understanding of the Wei Family.

They were even more curious about the identities of Ling Chen and his companions.

What kind of terrifying background did Ling Chen and his group possess that even made the Wei Family bow their heads?

"Young Master Ling!"

Wei Tongxuan smiled as he handed over a letter, saying, "This is a letter of introduction. When you enter the Academic Palace, hand it over to Zi Yan; he will surely take good care of you."

"Thank you very much, Wei Family Master."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Young Master Ling, no need for such formalities. We’re just making amends after conflicts. Besides, you and Zi Yan are classmates; you should take care of each other."

Wei Tongxuan laughed, "If you happen to pass through Nanshan City in the future en route to Zhenwu Prefecture, you must come visit."

"Definitely!"

Ling Chen nodded in agreement.

"What, Academic Palace?"

"He joined the Academic Palace at such a young age?"

"No wonder the Wei Family let Ling Chen go!"

"So it turns out, a prodigal son and a student of the Academic Palace can’t really be compared!"

...

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Now they understood why the Wei Family treated Ling Chen so courteously.

Watching as the figures of Ling Chen and his companions disappeared from sight, the smile on Wei Tongxuan’s face gradually faded, revealing a hint of faint murderous intent in his eyes.

"Back to the mansion!"

With a cold shout, the members of the Wei Family all left.

However, Wei Tongxuan did not return but instead quietly followed them by taking a detour to the northeast city gate.

"I want to see just how strong you really are."

Wei Tongxuan thought to himself.

Ling Chen had killed his clansmen, and he would certainly not let Ling Chen off.

Although he couldn’t take action personally for fear of Liu Qingcang’s retaliation,

he had already decided to hire a Dark Night Assassin to kill Ling Chen.

Of course, this would happen a few months later.

For now, it was all just for show; he did not want to be suspected by others of involving the Wei Family when Ling Chen was killed.

Ling Chen’s death sentence was unavoidable, and escaping punishment was also difficult.

If he couldn’t probe Ling Chen’s strength during the banquet, then he would personally do it now to test him.

He did not intend to injure Ling Chen, but rather to provide a reference for Wei Ziyan.

If Ling Chen’s strength was inferior to Wei Ziyan’s, then once the former entered the Academic Palace, he would face Wei Ziyan’s retaliation.

The Academic Palace had a rule of not leaving anyone uninjured or crippled, which would allow Wei Ziyan to severely teach Ling Chen a lesson.
