Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 319: Testing the Waters

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Testing the Waters

Wei Tongxuan stealthily followed behind Ling Chen from afar.

He dared not get too close, for fear of being detected by Ling Chen.

After all, Ling Chen was not only a Spiritual Power Practitioner but also a superior Divine Thought Master.

The perceptual powers of a superior Divine Thought Master were tremendously fearsome.

However, he was not worried about losing him.

Because on the letter of introduction he had given to Ling Chen, there was a unique tracking method by the Wei Family, which could even penetrate the barrier of storage rings and locate the general position.

Night fell.

A day had passed, and Ling Chen had not discovered his presence.

He also sporadically surveyed various locations within tens of miles around Ling Chen.

Only after confirming that no cultivators appeared within thirty miles did he finally relax.

"Kid, let’s see what you’re made of!"

Wei Tongxuan changed into a night suit, his face covered with a black scarf, taking advantage of the dark night to approach Ling Chen.

He was smart, opting to come from the direction Ling Chen was heading.

At this time, Ling Chen and his three companions were sitting around a campfire.

"Sssh sssh!"

A faint sound of footsteps arose, immediately drawing Ling Chen’s attention.

"Be careful!"

Ling Chen hurriedly sent a message to Ling Wu and the others with his spiritual communication.

After that, his gaze turned towards the source of the sound.

"Kid, such a keen perception!"

Wei Tongxuan directly revealed his figure.

"Who are you?"

Ling Chen asked with a serious face.

From this man, he sensed that the other party’s cultivation was at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm’s seventh level!

It was a high-level cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Who?"

Wei Tongxuan coldly said: "You killed a scion of the Jiang Family, who do you think I am?"

He had planned this from the moment he started following.

Naturally, he used the identity of the Jiang Family.

There was a grudge between them, which could make Ling Chen unleash his fullest combat power.

"A person from the Jiang Family?"

Ling Chen frowned.

For some reason, he felt a familiar aura from this person.

However, his voice was unfamiliar.

He wondered whether it was intentional, or if that was the person’s true voice.

"What? The Jiang Family is still not giving up?"

Ling Chen laughed: "But I didn’t violate any rules of the Eight Palaces’ martial discussion."

"Cut the nonsense, hand over your life!"

Wei Tongxuan coldly said.

"Boom!"

His body shook, and golden Spiritual Power swept out like a tide, fully displaying his cultivation of the seventh-level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Due to the amplification by his Golden Spirit Body, his spiritual power was even comparable to the early eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Hmph!"

Ling Chen coldly snorted and said: "You dare to attack me with your mere seventh-level Primordial Pill Realm?"

Right away, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power also erupted out.

"Young Master Chen, do you need me to make a move?"

A voice sounded beside Ling Chen’s ear.

It was Liu Qingcang.

Ever since witnessing Ling Chen’s strength and talent, he was almost always protecting Ling Chen from not far away.

For Wei Tongxuan’s cultivation to discover Liu Qingcang, a man of the dark night, was a complete joke.

Not to mention Liu Qingcang’s cultivation, these years he had always dwelled within the darkness.

How could he not have learned a thing or two about an assassin’s methods?

"Uncle Cang, no need."

Ling Chen shook his head and transmitted back: "I’ve just had a breakthrough, and I need someone to practice with—perfect timing as he has shown up."

"Alright, be careful!"

Liu Qingcang responded.

Of course, he was now hidden atop a large tree, constantly monitoring the battle here.

Should Ling Chen encounter danger, he would intervene to save him.

With his superb Arrow Technique, rescuing Ling Chen from a mere seventh-level Primordial Pill Realm cultivator was as easy as pie!

Furthermore, he was eager to witness Ling Chen’s true power.

"Primordial Pill Realm second layer?"

Wei Tongxuan’s eyes narrowed sharply.

At the banquet, he clearly sensed that Ling Chen was only at the first layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

However, Ling Chen’s cultivation level was indeed at the solid second layer now, and his Spiritual Power was even comparable to the early stages of the fourth layer of Primordial Pill Realm!

Ling Wu, Ye Zhenzhen, and Lin Xiaodu were also utterly shocked.

Especially Ling Wu.

She also possessed a Spiritual Body and was still at the late stages of the first layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Feeling Ling Chen’s powerful aura, Lin Xiaodu made a resolute decision.

She really needed to cultivate diligently.

Otherwise, she could never catch up to Ling Chen.

"What kind of Spiritual Body do you have that allows for a full two layers increase in Spiritual Power?"

Wei Tongxuan cried out in disbelief once again.

Even the most top-tier Super Spiritual Body seemed to only be able to increase by one and two-thirds layers.

But Ling Chen had actually managed a full two layers increase!

"Aren’t you the one who said to cut the meaningless talk? Why so much nonsense from you now?"

Ling Chen cracked a smile.

An astonishing fighting spirit surged from within him.

"Hmph!"

Wei Tongxuan snorted coldly.

He originally came to probe Ling Chen’s cultivation level, and now that the latter had revealed all his power, it played right into his hands.

"Let’s see what you’re capable of!"

Wei Tongxuan suddenly clenched his right hand, and a silver Longsword flashed into existence.

"Slashing down!"

He didn’t use any Spirit Art, but directly stimulated his Spiritual Power, which was comparable to the eighth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, using a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon to launch an attack.

His Spiritual Power was a full four layers above that of Ling Chen.

He wanted to see how many tricks Ling Chen had up his sleeve!

Watching a seven-foot-long golden Sword Qi that shot towards him, Ling Chen’s eyes revealed a burning passion.

"Bring it on!"

Ling Chen bellowed, as a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword appeared in his hand.

"Shattering Moon!"

He shouted in his mind, and endless Spiritual Power gathered on the Longsword before a two-yard long pitch-black Sword Qi burst out from the blade, slashing towards the oncoming golden Sword Qi.

He was directly utilizing a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qis collided like lightning, setting off a world-shaking thunderous clamor. An endless shockwave spread around, uprooting numerous towering trees straight from the soil.

Dust rose in every direction, obscuring the view.

"Not bad! You’re quite skilled!"

Seeing that both Sword Qis had dissipated, Wei Tongxuan spoke coldly.

Judging by the way Ling Chen executed the mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, his talent for Spirit Arts was truly astonishing.

The mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique seemed almost effortless in his hands!

However, this level of strength did not impress him.

According to the news from the Eight Palaces martial competition, this young man had once used a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

At that time, the one Ling Chen had slain was Zhao Tianwu.

But even if Ling Chen used a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, could he really defeat the sixth layer Water Spirit Body of the Primordial Pill Realm?

This was something he truly couldn’t understand.

"Now, take my second strike!"

Accompanying Wei Tongxuan’s voice, another massive golden Sword Qi furiously slashed towards Ling Chen.

This time, he displayed a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

Watching the Sword Qi that was shooting towards him once again, Ling Chen sneered, "Pitiful trick, watch how I break you?"

"Extinguish the Stars!"

Ling Chen shouted coldly, as Spiritual Power inside his body crazily poured into the Longsword in his hands, and then with a swing of his right hand, another black Sword Qi was ignited and shot out.

This was a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!

The gap in Spiritual Power between the two was a full four layers.

But the gap in Spirit Arts was too significant.

One was low-grade, the other high-grade.

A mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique was enough to fight across two levels, and a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, even more so, allowed one to cross three levels.

The gap in Spiritual Power was instantly compensated by the Spirit Art, and then surpassed!

"Boom!"

The two Sword Qis collided once again.

At this moment, the black Sword Qi held a tremendous advantage, destroying the golden Sword Qi and continued slashing towards Wei Tongxuan.
