Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Comfort

"Whoosh!"

The dark cyan Sword Qi carried terrifying might, slashing towards Han Jin.

Han Jin, worthy of being a top thirty genius in the Stellar Ranking, reacted in an instant, unleashing a surge of cyan Spiritual Power, instantly setting up seven layers of Spiritual Power Defense in front of him.

"Boom..."

Seven muffled sounds rang out, all layers of Spiritual Power Defense were shattered.

Then, the full force of the dark cyan Sword Qi was unleashed upon Han Jin’s flesh.

Even though the might of the dark cyan Sword Qi had been greatly weakened by the Sword Qi and Spiritual Power Defense, it still wasn’t something a mere mortal body could withstand.

"Bang!"

Han Jin’s body was once again sent retreating several dozen zhang away, now bearing a gory wound deep enough to expose bone.

"Puh!"

In the sky, just after Han Jin steadied himself, the immense force within the Sword Qi severely injured his internal organs, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His face instantly turned pale, and his breath weakened.

The entire area fell into dead silence.

Ling Chen not only dared to confront Han Jin head-on, but he also managed to wound the latter?

Both were using superior Heavenly Spirit Techniques for attack, could it be that a mere mid-grade Spiritual Weapon had such terrifying power that it could bridge the vast difference of four whole levels in Spiritual Power between the two?

At this moment, everyone had an expression of seeing a ghost, their eyes filled with astonishment when they looked at Ling Chen.

Even the Elder Su, who was in charge of distributing Cultivation Resources and at the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, wore a face of disbelief.

He could see that the superior Heavenly Spirit Technique employed by Ling Chen was definitely enhanced by the Spiritual Technique True Intent.

But, that alone shouldn’t be enough for Ling Chen to defeat Han Jin!

What he didn’t know was that in this strike, Ling Chen had truly unleashed the power of the Stellar Blade.

The Stellar Blade, such an astonishing and formidable method, was not just about controlling a Spiritual Weapon.

Formerly, Liu Qingcang, with a similar method, was able to duel with Xia Jiuyou, who possessed a Sacred Body, even at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

The seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm was naturally within Ling Chen’s reach.

Ling Chen’s eyes carried a hint of coldness as he looked towards Han Jin and said, "Senior Han, do you still wish to continue?"

This last strike, he had still held back.

Aiming for the chest, the most strongly defended part.

If Han Jin refused to admit defeat, Ling Chen wouldn’t mind severing one of Han Jin’s arms.

After all, with the Academic Palace’s methods, it wouldn’t take long to reattach a severed limb.

"I admit defeat."

After a long silence, Han Jin finally uttered these three words.

Regret filled his heart; had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have confronted Ling Chen head-on.

With his superior Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, relying on speed to suppress Ling Chen, the latter would have had no chance of defeating him so easily.

However, now with serious injuries, it was not advisable for him to engage in combat.

Otherwise, it would definitely harm his Cultivation foundation.

Compared to his own future prospects, some Cultivation Resources were truly insignificant.

Once his injuries healed, he would definitely come back for revenge.

"Here!"

Han Jin cast a gloomy glance at Ling Chen, raising his right hand and sending a black light towards Ling Chen in a burst.

"Much appreciated."

Ling Chen cracked a smile, grasping the incoming light.

It turned out to be a storing ring.

A drop of fresh blood fell onto the storing ring, instantly completing the bonding process.

"This poor?"

Ling Chen looked surprised.

This was none other than the Vice Leader of the Purple Cloud, yet the Cultivation Resources inside the storing ring amounted to only a couple hundred top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

He had thought he would make a fortune.

Shaking his head, Ling Chen took out about a hundred top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, then returned the storing ring to Han Jin.

Of course, there were also some mid-grade Primordial Spirit Stones inside the ring.

Alas, they were simply not worth Ling Chen’s attention.

Taking the storing ring, Han Jin immediately transformed into a streak of light and left.

Having been defeated by Ling Chen, he had no face to remain here any longer.

With a casual beckoning gesture, the cyan Longsword flew towards Ling Chen.

And then, he directly stowed it away in his storage ring.

The Spiritual Weapon he obtained through strength, naturally, would not be returned.

As the Spiritual Power gradually receded, Ling Chen descended from the sky, landing in the plaza in front of the Medicine Hall.

"Alright, should we head back?"

Ling Chen glanced over at Ling Wu and the others, smiling faintly.

After claiming the Cultivation Resources, there was naturally no reason to linger here.

"Okay!"

Ling Wu quickly nodded.

Her gaze towards Ling Chen was filled with admiration.

Qin Shi and the others had similarly complex expressions.

Who would have thought before this that Ling Chen could defeat a practitioner in the mid-stage of the Primordial Pill Realm?

And that he used such mystifying and extraordinary methods!

Mu Chunlei, Su Zhan, and other faction leaders watched Ling Chen depart, no longer daring to extend any invitations.

Ling Chen’s strength could match some of the Gang Leaders among the Eight Great Sects!

They were only at the sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm; how could such a personage be within their reach to contact?

Previously, they thought that Ling Chen was acting impulsively and foolishly; it turned out he had the strength and didn’t need their protection.

"It’s truly terrifying!"

"Yes, haven’t seen him in merely over twenty days, and Junior Ling’s strength has skyrocketed to such a frightening extent?"

"Indeed, he’s now qualified to contend for a spot in the top twenty of the Star Ranking!"

...

As they witnessed Ling Chen’s departing silhouette, the plaza buzzed with a succession of exclamations.

Bamboo Garden.

"Brother, what kind of method did you use?"

As soon as they stepped into Bamboo Garden, Ling Wu couldn’t wait to ask.

That single move, directly stripping someone of their weapon, was simply too terrifying!

Qin Shi, Su Su, and others also gazed eagerly at Ling Chen.

Only Xu Lin seemed to have some understanding.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "I can’t tell you just yet. I’ll let you know when you have mastered a superior grade Heavenly Spirit Technique."

"Superior grade Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

Ling Wu’s pretty face revealed a bitter smile, saying, "When will that be?"

Admittedly, she had nearly mastered the mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

But there was still a gap from Ling Chen’s requirements.

After all, Ling Chen wanted her to master the Spiritual Technique True Intent.

Moreover, to cultivate a superior grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, one needed an immense amount of Spiritual Power. Probably she’d have a chance to cultivate it only when she reached the third or fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

As for mastering it, who knew how long it would take!

"Alright, you all should focus on your cultivation. When the time is right, I’ll naturally tell you. Besides, even if I told you now, the chances of you successfully cultivating it are slim."

Ling Chen said with a laugh.

He and Xu Lin had almost simultaneously learned of the Stellar Blade.

Yet, he had already succeeded in cultivation.

While Xu Lin was still in the midst of it.

It should be noted that Xu Lin’s diligence was not less than his.

It was very likely because he had mastered the superior grade Heavenly Spirit Technique and even mastered the Spiritual Technique True Intent.

Of course, it also had to do with Xu Lin switching from sword to bow and arrow.

However, this was something Xu Lin had to go through to inherit Uncle Cang’s mantle.

And to have Ling Wu cultivate it now was not beneficial.

She still had many areas in her Spirit Art that could be improved.

While he himself could hardly make any progress.

Although Ling Wu and the others were reluctant, they could only diligently practice their cultivation.

Having witnessed Ling Chen’s seemingly magical methods today, it spurred everyone on to desperately cultivate their Spirit Arts.

When only Ling Chen and Xu Lin were left.

Xu Lin asked, "Senior brother, have you reached the realm that our master spoke of?"

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded, then comforted, "You shouldn’t be discouraged. You and I are different, after all, you have switched weapons now, and just getting accustomed to the bow and arrow will take some time."
