Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 428: A Physical Contest?

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: A Physical Contest?

"Could he be testing me?"

Ling Chen was also full of confusion.

He really couldn’t figure out what kind of scheme King Xia was playing with.

Previously, he was specifically reminded to stop at the right point during the sparring.

But now, the stakes involving Xia Yuqing were added.

It was clearly telling him not to hold back!

It shouldn’t be difficult for someone of King Xia’s stature to find out that he hails from the Ling Family of Guangling City.

Does he really trust me that much?

Doesn’t he fear that I might intentionally lose to Great Qin’s contender, allowing Xia Yuqing to become the seventh wife of Great Qin?

Thinking of this, Ling Chen felt somewhat of a headache.

Unable to grasp King Xia’s thoughts, he dared not hold back!

Otherwise, if King Xia used this as an excuse to deal with him, he feared that he truly had no power to resist at this point.

Not to mention rescuing his father.

He didn’t care about the life or death of Xia Yuqing.

Nor did he wish for King Xia to obtain that territory.

But he didn’t want the Great Qin Dynasty to win this victory either.

No matter what, he was ultimately a person of the Great Xia Dynasty.

He hated King Xia, even despised the Xia Royal Family.

However, he still harbored feelings for this land and the people who lived on it.

"Good! A young hero indeed!"

Qin Yunfei stared at Ling Chen, with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty, in the three-round competition, the one who wins two rounds claims victory. You have no objections, do you?"

Qin Yunfei looked towards King Xia.

"No objections."

King Xia nodded.

Qin Yunfei continued, "The Divine Thought Master’s battle should only employ Divine Soul Telekinesis, without using Spiritual Power. Your Majesty, any problems with that?"

Ling Chen, after all, is a strong cultivator at the fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Even though he is very confident in the Divine Thought Master he brought, he still had to be cautious, in case Ling Chen had ways to withstand a Divine Soul Attack, there was a possibility that Ling Chen could win the competition between Divine Thought Masters.

Ye Xiao’s round, he was almost certain that Ling Chen would win.

If Ling Chen also won the Divine Thought Master battle, then his Great Qin’s promised land would be lost.

As for the last competition, his own cultivator was a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, he was absolutely certain of victory against Ling Chen.

Thus, the key to this wager lay in the battle of the Divine Thought Masters.

King Xia’s brows furrowed slightly.

Most of Ling Chen’s combat power relied on Spiritual Power, without using Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was merely an upper middle-grade Divine Thought Master.

Even though he knew that Ling Chen had conducted a contest of Divine Soul Telekinesis with Su Yingxue, he had no understanding of the Divine Thought Master from Great Qin.

If Ling Chen lost this battle, there really was a possibility of an upset.

"Your Majesty, please agree. Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis is not inferior to the opponent’s Divine Thought Master. Even if all else fails, Ling Chen should not be defeated."

At this moment, the State Preceptor suddenly transmitted his voice.

Hearing the State Preceptor’s transmission, King Xia finally settled down and smiled, "Alright."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunfei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, let’s pause the feast. We will continue after the competition."

King Xia announced.

Afterwards, everyone left the Zhengyang Palace and appeared in the sky above the Palace.

In the sky.

Qin Yunfei turned to Ye Xiao and said, "You go first!"

"Yes, Seventh Prince!"

Ye Xiao responded immediately.

"Young Master Ling, please!"

Ye Xiao said to Ling Chen.

He was at the early stage of the fourth level of the Primordial Pill Realm and couldn’t sense Ling Chen’s exact cultivation level, but knew that Ling Chen’s cultivation was above his.

"Ling Chen is at the early stage of the fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, just do your best."

Qin Yunfei’s voice reached Ye Xiao’s ears at this time.

"Understood."

Ye Xiao immediately replied.

Hearing the Seventh Prince’s transmission, he knew that the Seventh Prince wasn’t optimistic about his chances.

However, he was confident in himself.

He had faced opponents beyond his level before in Great Qin.

Moreover, he had recently mastered a Body Refining Technique.

His physical body is now extremely powerful, comparable to that of a Cultivator in the first layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Young Master Ye, please!"

Ling Chen also flew out from the crowd.

His opponent was only at the beginning of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, so in this battle, he must win cleanly and decisively. Otherwise, he would certainly arouse the suspicions of Xia Jiuyou.

After all, his strength had already spread throughout King City.

Practically everyone knew that he possessed the fighting power to slay Cultivators of the eighth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Boom!"

Ye Xiao’s body trembled, releasing spiritual power comparable to the latter stage of the fifth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Young Master Ling, be careful!"

Ye Xiao grinned and struck coldly.

The Seventh Prince didn’t look favorably upon him, so he would give the Seventh Prince a surprise.

"Phoenix Soaring Step!"

His spiritual power madly surged into his legs, and with a low shout from Ye Xiao, his figure charged towards Ling Chen like a bolt of lightning.

"A mid-grade movement technique Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

"How is his speed so fast?"

"This speed completely surpasses the ultimate limit of a mid-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique!"

...

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Not a bad talent!"

Xia Jiuyou remarked indifferently.

For a fourth layer Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator to master a mid-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, this talent in spirit arts was considered extremely top-notch.

But in front of Ling Chen, it still wasn’t enough.

Because he knew that Ling Chen had mastered an upper-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique.

What was a mere mid-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique worth?

"Kid, just admit defeat!"

Appearing in front of Ling Chen, Ye Xiao clenched his right hand, shimmering with dazzling spiritual power light.

He threw a punch towards Ling Chen’s chest with fury!

He did not use any Spirit Art, nor did he employ a Spiritual Weapon.

What he intended was to gain the upper hand with the first move!

Relying on his physical strength and the enhancement of the Heavenly Spirit Technique to defeat Ling Chen before he could even react.

He wanted to see how Ling Chen would defend against it.

"Comparing physical strength with me?"

Ling Chen chuckled inwardly.

He hadn’t expected that Ye Xiao had also cultivated a Body Refining Technique.

And to think of defeating him with mere physical strength, without even using a Spirit Art or a Spiritual Weapon, was utterly laughable.

"Boom!"

A brilliant black light burst forth from Ling Chen’s body.

At the same time, under the black light, faint aquamarine starlight emerged.

"Bang!"

Then, Ye Xiao’s fist heavily collided with Ling Chen’s chest.

"Your spiritual power is indeed stronger than mine, but my physical strength is not something merely one layer more powerful spiritual power can withstand!"

Ye Xiao’s fist erupted with force, directly breaking through Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Defense and colliding with his chest.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.

"Did I win?"

Qin Yunfei was a bit dazed.

Wasn’t Ling Chen highly esteemed by the monarch of Great Xia?

How come he couldn’t even withstand a single hit from Ye Xiao?

The faces of the others from Great Qin also showed shocked expressions.

This opponent seemed rather weak!

"Ah!"

However, a piercing scream shattered the thoughts of Qin Yunfei and others.

Then, they saw Ye Xiao’s arm twisting into an odd angle, with white bones gruesomely protruding through his wrist.

"How is this possible?!"

Qin Yunfei and the others were dumbfounded.

The speed Ye Xiao displayed just now indicated his physical body was incredibly strong.

But this powerful body, when striking the opponent, ended up injured instead?

Ling Chen’s Protective Spiritual Power had clearly been shattered!

Could it be that Ling Chen’s physical body was even more powerful than Ye Xiao’s?
