Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Injured (Fifth Update)

"Hmph!"

"Just a minor trick, and you dare to show off in front of me?"

Ye Fan sneered coldly.

A silver longsword appeared in his hands.

It was a high-grade Spiritual Weapon.

Then, channeling Spiritual Power into it, a streak of Sword Qi was unleashed.

Faced with Ling Chen’s attack, he executed a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was merely at the mid-stage of the sixth layer, while his own was comparable to the early stage of the first layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.

With the advantage of Spiritual Power, this strike was bound to be enough!

"Boom!"

Two terrifying Sword Qis streaked across the sky before finally colliding with a thunderous roar.

The entire Xingxia Peak, where the Academic Palace was located, seemed to tremble faintly.

Watching the two Sword Qis completely dissipate, Ye Fan spoke, "Kid, I know this isn’t your true strength."

"You must have a secret technique that can further enhance your Spiritual Power, right?"

"You haven’t used your superior Heavenly Spirit Technique with the true intent of the Spirit Art yet, have you?"

"So, why don’t you use it now? Otherwise, you’ll never have another chance!"

"What?!"

The faces of the students below were filled with shock.

Such a powerful attack wasn’t Ling Chen’s limit?

He could still enhance his Spiritual Power?

And he could even master the true intent of a superior Heavenly Spirit Technique?

Is this guy even human?

"Correct!"

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

His body shook, and the black Spiritual Power swirling around him gained some more intensity.

Directly reaching the early stage of the seventh layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

This was also the limit of Ling Chen’s Night Moon Spiritual Power.

As he estimated, it was likely that his cultivation would need to reach beyond the seventh layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, surpassing the Night Moon Spiritual Power of ordinary cultivators by three layers for it to be fully unleashed.

With the full deployment of Spiritual Power, the gap in power between the two narrowed to three layers.

Moreover, a superior Spiritual Weapon could make up for a layer compared to a mid-grade one.

And the mastery of the Spiritual Technique True Intent could make up for two-thirds of a layer.

This meant that the gap between them was just over one layer.

"Extinguish the Stars!"

Ling Chen roared again, pouring his crazed Spiritual Power into the superior Spiritual Weapon in his hands, as another black Sword Qi burst forth.

This Sword Qi was much more powerful than before.

It was not only enhanced by the uplift in Spiritual Power but also by the true intent of the Spirit Art!

"Kid, to die under my strongest strike, you can be proud!"

"Wind-following Sword Technique!"

Ye Fan declared.

Green Spiritual Power congregated on the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, then a streak of Green Sword Qi was released, slashing straight toward Ling Chen.

This time, he employed the superior Heavenly Spirit Technique.

With the advantage in Spiritual Power, this strike should be able to kill Ling Chen!

"Boom!"

Green Sword Qi and black Sword Qi collided in the sky, creating another deafening explosion.

The Academic Palace seemed to shake slightly under the impact.

"Indeed!"

Ye Fan sneered coldly, his hands clasped behind his back, even putting away the longsword.

The Green Sword Qi crushed the black Sword Qi with overwhelming force, continuing to slash toward Ling Chen.

"Alas!"

Master Qin sighed, unwilling to watch.

Such an attack, with just the Protective Spiritual Power, was absolutely indefensible!

It seemed that Ling Chen was doomed to fall.

Since Master Lan stopped him, and then an Elder from the Academic Palace intercepted Chi Shen, he had more or less predicted the outcome for Ling Chen.

Such a peerless talent, yet, like a meteor, it flashed brilliantly only to vanish in an instant.

Qin Yu’s eyes also showed regret.

Was Ling Chen really dead?

"He should be able to do it!"

But Chi Shen stared intently at Ling Chen in the sky, his fists clenched tight.

Because he had witnessed Ling Chen once employing a superior defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique!

"Brother, you can do it!"

Ling Wu also prayed in her heart for Ling Chen.

"It’s over!"

Ye Fan said with an indifferent smile.

This guy is finally going to die.

With the obstruction of the black Sword Qi, the speed of the green Sword Qi slowed down significantly.

However, it was still not something Ling Chen could dodge.

Now, Ling Chen only had one way to deal with it—by resisting.

"What is he doing, why isn’t he defending?"

"Yeah, it’s so strange!"

...

The crowd noticed something unusual about Ling Chen.

Ling Chen not only didn’t position his longsword in front of him but also did not set up any Spiritual Power Defense in front of himself.

He just stood there stupidly, waiting for the arrival of the green Sword Qi.

"Did we finally kill this guy..."

Master Lan’s eyes also showed a hint of regret.

What could be done? It was Ling Chen’s own choice not to join their Academic Palace.

"Haha!"

Lan Qingliu laughed viciously.

Elder Ye Fan finally helped him to kill this guy who had humiliated him.

Although he couldn’t take revenge personally, it was enough to make him feel pleased.

Ling Chen, watching the imminent arrival of the green Sword Qi, had a ruthless look flash across his eyes.

"Infinite Light Screen!"

As this shout rang out, a layer of black light screen emerged from his body, intercepting the green Sword Qi.

At this moment, the superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique was revealed once again.

"Bang!"

The green Sword Qi struck the light screen, followed by a "crack!" sound, the light screen instantly shattered into pieces.

While the light screen was blocking, another four layers of Spiritual Power Defense emerged.

"Bang..."

Four muffled sounds, and the Spiritual Power Defense were broken through once more.

At this time, Ling Chen’s right hand brandished the longsword in front of him.

"Ding!"

The green Sword Qi finally landed on the black longsword, emitting a metallic clashing sound.

"Bang!"

The black longsword viciously slammed into Ling Chen’s chest, and the immense force burst out, sending Ling Chen flying dozens of feet away.

"Puh!"

The moment Ling Chen stabilized his stance, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Brother!"

Ling Wu cried out in shock, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes.

"Is this your strongest attack? It doesn’t seem that impressive, does it?"

"Peh!"

Ling Chen spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, grinning with a smile.

"How is that possible?!"

"How could you possibly take my attack?"

Ye Fan’s face was filled with horror.

His strike was clearly on a much higher level than Ling Chen’s.

Yet, it only managed to injure Ling Chen?

"Is that the superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

Ye Fan suddenly realized.

During the process of resisting the green Sword Qi, a thin layer of black light screen had appeared in front of Ling Chen.

Although the black light screen had been broken, it had greatly dissolved the power of his green Sword Qi.

That was why Ling Chen could barely take it.

Other than the superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique, he could think of no other technique that could provide such strong defensive power!

"What, a superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

Hearing the words spoken by Ye Fan, Master Qin, Master Lan, Qin Yu, and the students of the Academic Palace showed disbelief on their faces.

Ling Chen had used the superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique?

Only Chi Shen and Ling Wu had anticipated this.

"Cough cough!"

Ling Chen coughed a few times, coughing up more fresh blood.

He took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it.

Then, looking back at Ye Fan with a grin, he said, "You have a good eye!"

Even though he spoke with a smile, the overflow of fresh blood made Ling Chen’s grin look extremely ferocious.

"Is it really the superior Defensive Heavenly Spirit Technique!?"

Hearing Ling Chen’s own acknowledgement, the crowd couldn’t help but become startled and change their expressions.
