Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 357: Incident?

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Incident?

"Fine, I won’t fight!"

Senior Sister Jiang, Jiang Yingxue, said helplessly.

Even if she defeated Ling Chen, so what?

It would be a victory without honor!

Moreover, if she didn’t manage to defeat Ling Chen, or worse, was defeated by him, that would be too much of a blow to her own pride.

How would it look, a student cultivated by the Marshal Star Academic Palace being defeated by a cultivator almost at her own level of cultivation? To even mention it would be embarrassing for Shen Qishuang.

Ling Chen was taken aback, then immediately asked, "Senior Sister Jiang, why won’t you fight anymore? We haven’t determined a winner yet!"

It wasn’t easy to find a high-grade intermediate Divine Thought Master as an opponent.

But who would’ve thought that just a probing strike would hastily conclude the match?

Jiang Yingxue glared at Ling Chen, and said in annoyance, "Although I am a Divine Thought Master, I spend most of my time on Artifact Refining and I’m not skilled in combat!"

"Alright."

Ling Chen could only nod helplessly.

Jiang Yingxue had no malice towards him, she had even extended an invitation, showing restraint with her moves. He certainly couldn’t just go provoke her, right?

With both parties standing down, the matter naturally ended in a draw.

Jiang Yingxue gave Ling Chen a sharp look, then turned around huffily and left.

"I’ll come to find you tonight!"

A voice, along with a surge of Divine Soul Telekinesis, entered Ling Chen’s ears.

Ling Chen was stunned for a moment.

They had only met for the first time and hardly knew each other.

Why would Jiang Yingxue want to see him at night? Could she harbor inappropriate thoughts towards him?

Just then, a young man in a purple robe walked out from the crowd.

Judging from the direction he was coming from, he must be a member of the ’Purple Cloud’.

"Younger Brother Ling, I challenge you!"

The purple-robed youth spoke.

His voice was chilling to the bone, filled with a mysterious killing intent.

Ling Chen frowned.

His gaze fell on the purple-robed young man.

He felt this person looked somewhat familiar.

But Ling Chen knew they had never met before.

He didn’t understand why this person harbored such intense hatred towards him!

Moreover, this person was only at the late phase of the Primordial Pill Realm’s sixth layer. Wasn’t the power he displayed as a mid-Primordial Pill Realm Divine Soul strong enough to deter this person?

"May I know the honorable name of this senior?"

Ling Chen still asked with a smile.

The purple-robed young man replied coldly, "Wei Ziyan!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s pupils constricted.

Wasn’t Wei Ziyan a disciple of the Wei Family from Nanshan City?

No wonder he felt somewhat familiar!

Seeing Ling Chen’s expression change slightly, Wei Ziyan’s eyes filled with even more intense killing intent.

He had all but confirmed that his father must have been killed by this man.

A few days ago, he received a letter from his family.

The letter stated that his father went to investigate a new student from the Marshal Star Academic Palace named Ling Chen and never returned.

Later, traces of a battle were discovered to the north of Nanshan City.

However, his father’s body was nowhere to be found.

The family suspected that it was Ling Chen, this student, who had committed the murder.

At first, he did not believe it.

How could a new student, no matter how talented, defeat his father, who was at the sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm?

But now, he believed it.

Ling Chen was not only a Spiritual Power Practitioner but also a high-grade intermediate Divine Thought Master!

With a Divine Soul Attack, it wouldn’t be difficult for Ling Chen, with his abilities, to eliminate a Primordial Pill sixth-layer cultivator.

That was why he issued a challenge to Ling Chen.

Perhaps, within the confines of the Academic Palace, he couldn’t kill Ling Chen.

But he could take some interest from Ling Chen for the time being and wait for an opportunity to kill him later.

Although Ling Chen was a high-grade intermediate Divine Thought Master, Wei Ziyan dared to challenge him, naturally having confidence in his own backing.

Now, he had already reached the latter stage of the Primordial Pill Realm’s sixth level as a Cultivator.

Moreover, he had been staying in this realm quite some time, and the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm was not far away.

Due to his control over Spiritual Power, his Divine Soul had also become much stronger.

He had once tried and was fully capable of withstanding a Divine Soul Attack from a mid-grade Divine Thought Master!

Therefore, he dared to challenge Ling Chen.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly.

From the murderous intent emanating from Wei Ziyan, perhaps he already knew that it was him who killed Wei Tongxuan.

But what did it matter if he knew?

Wei Tongxuan had made a move against him and even wished to shift the disaster onto the Jiang Family, covering up the Wei Family’s traces, he deserved to die.

A mere Wei Ziyan, he really did not take him to heart.

Moreover, how could Wei Ziyan do anything to him when the Academic Palace forbade students from killing each other?

"What, Senior Wei actually wants to challenge Ling Chen?"

"Does Senior Wei not know that Ling Chen is a Divine Soul Telekinesis mid-Primordial Stage Master?"

"That’s right, Senior Wei is only at the later period of the Primordial Pill Realm’s sixth level, I’m afraid he might not be able to withstand Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack, right?"

...

Many students exclaimed in disbelief.

They didn’t understand, with Ling Chen’s formidable strength, why would Senior Wei humiliate himself by stepping forward?

"Are the people from Purple Cloud sick?"

Jiang Yingxue who originally intended to leave the scene also stopped in her tracks, looking at Wei Ziyan with some astonishment.

If Ling Chen had never revealed his Divine Soul strength, it would be a wise move for Wei Ziyan to make a move.

But now, it would be foolish to make a move on Ling Chen, wouldn’t it?

With Ling Chen’s talent, the major factions would definitely try to win him over.

And now Senior Wei Ziyan from Purple Cloud wants to attack Ling Chen?

Moreover, the rewards Ling Chen received were all related to Divine Soul, which Wei Ziyan couldn’t use at all!

Such an exceptional talent, if they don’t woo him, so be it, but why offend him to death?

"Senior Wei, please!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

With a move of his feet, in the next moment, he appeared dozens of feet high in the sky.

"Brat, I’ll teach you a lesson first, then see how I deal with you later!"

Looking at the figure in the sky, a vicious gleam flashed in Wei Ziyan’s eyes as he whispered through gritted teeth.

How could the revenge for his father’s murder be unavenged?

"Boom!"

Robust Spiritual Power burst forth from Wei Ziyan.

Stomping his foot, he soared into the sky, standing opposite Ling Chen.

"Spiritual Power of the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm?"

Feeling the aura of Spiritual Power from Wei Ziyan, Ling Chen cracked a smile.

He didn’t believe that Wei Ziyan knew of the power of his Divine Soul Attack and yet, foolishly, still challenged him.

It seemed that this man must have some method to withstand his Divine Soul Attack!

"Since Senior Wei is a Spiritual Power Practitioner, then I guess I won’t use Divine Thought Master’s methods?"

Ling Chen smiled faintly at Wei Ziyan.

"Huh?"

Wei Ziyan frowned.

Originally, he intended to pretend to be hit by Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack, then capture Ling Chen in one fell swoop and teach him a lesson.

Now, he scoffed and said, "Junior, you better use all your strength! With your mere Spiritual Power methods, you’re probably no match for me!"

Ling Chen was merely at the latter stage of the Primordial Pill Realm’s first level, while he was at the latter period of the sixth level, a full five levels of Cultivation between them.

He possessed a Super Spiritual Body, the Purple Flame Spirit Body.

Ling Chen could not possibly be of Sacred Body level, so at most he would have a Super Spiritual Body.

After the mutual cancellation, the gap between them was still a massive five levels.

Without using Divine Soul Telekinesis, Ling Chen probably wouldn’t last a single move against him.

Of course, he said this as an elder’s advice to his junior.

No matter what methods Ling Chen used, today he would definitely teach Ling Chen a harsh lesson!

Not dead or crippled, is that it?

He had plenty of ways to torment and kill Ling Chen!
