Chapter 173 - Fighting Against Chu Yunxi!
Five youths had been allowed to join the qualifiers directly during the approval process. All of them were at the mid Earthly Core Realm and much stronger than the others. Yin Mengyao, Chu Yunxi, Gu Cheng, and Jin Sheng’en were in that group.
Yin Mengyao and Jin Sheng’en had easily taken down their opponents, so it was clear they deserved it.
Gu Cheng was the same, but because of the injury from the Abyssal Scorpions, he had to waste a lot of energy to defeat the other youth from the Gold family.
One of the most anticipated fights was going to take place now that Gu Cheng had advanced. It was between Long Chen and Chu Yunxi.
Everyone was well aware of the grudge between Chu Yunxi and Long Chen.
They were all excited to see them fight after learning of it.
“Next, Chu Yunxi and Long Chen. Enter the arena.”
Within the dark environment, Dongfang Xuanxiao’s gaze was like a bright light that shone on Long Chen and Chu Yunxi.
Long Chen’s face was calm when he walked on the surface of the mud. It was finally his turn.
Chu Yunxi also jumped down into the swamp. They were standing fifteen meters apart from each other.
There was no need for words. Their grudge was too deep.
Chu Yunxi, however, still had something to say. “Let’s make a bet.”
“Say what you need to. I will agree to it depending on how much bullshit you spout.” Long Chen’s face remained calm.
Everyone, except for a few ladies, laughed when they heard him. It was too funny.
This was not the first time Long Chen had been this cheeky. Chu Yunxi was angry, but he suppressed it knowing that he could soon deal with Long Chen.
“If either of us surrenders, the loser must kowtow to the winner and call them ‘grandfather’ three times. What do you think?”
“Oh?” Long Chen was interested. “You want me to accept you as my grandchild? But I don’t really like you.”
“Shut up and answer. Man up.”
“Of course.” Long Chen would never surrender.
“Then let’s start.”
Chu Yunxi felt relaxed after fooling Long Chen.
He knew that Long Chen was brash, and he was confident he would win.
Long Chen needed to transform to fight against Chu Yunxi.
The various techniques and power boosts he obtained from the transformation far exceeded what a regular Beast Soul Transformation could provide.
“Is that your Beast Soul Transformation?”
Seeing Long Chen’s beautiful, red scales and bone spikes, even Chu Yunxi was surprised by how strong he looked.
But Liu Yuan was confused. “Lan’er, why did Long Chen not use the Violet Demonic Lizard Primary Beast Soul?”
Liu Lan knew that Long Chen had sold the Beast Soul off. How could he transform into one when he never absorbed the Beast Soul?
But she had agreed that she would keep it a secret, so she lied. “Maybe he intends to use it as a trump card?”
She never thought that she would lie to her father just because of a child.
Liu Yuan couldn’t come up with another explanation, so he decided to stay quiet so he wouldn’t affect Long Chen.
Long Chen and Chu Yunxi’s fight was officially starting!
The wind around Chu Yunxi swirled faster, and soon he shot himself towards Long Chen like the wind. Even the mud underneath him was pressed downwards!
“Billowing Cloud Finger!”
Overwhelming power was concentrated on his finger.
“Billowing Cloud Finger?” Long Chen was calm. Blazing Thunder Power circulated within his body, and soon, everyone saw him engulfed in fire and lightning.
“What is that?” Even the Grand Elders weren’t sure what was happening.
Jin Luan looked at Long Chen before he exclaimed to Chu Tianxiong, “It looks like the Blazing Thunder Combat Body! I’ve seen it before, and it doesn’t have this much strength. That means that it’s the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body!”
“Level Two? Doesn’t that mean it’s on par with an advanced Black-tier Body Combat technique?” Even Chu Tianxiong was surprised.
Everyone else heard their conversation.
Dongfang Xuanxiao nodded approvingly at Long Chen.
“Fourth Uncle, is the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body strong?” Dongfang Tianyu glared at Long Chen with hate.
“It’s a strong technique. It’s similar to the one you are currently cultivating,” Dongfang Xuanxiao explained calmly.
“It’s similar to mine?” Dongfang Tianyu was shocked. “What kind of luck did Long Chen run into to be able to cultivate the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body?”
Dongfang Xuanxiao turned around and looked at him. “And how lucky are you to have been born into the Eastern Azure Dragon family?”
Dongfang Xuanxiao’s voice was unfriendly, causing Dongfang TIanyu to lower his head in fear.
He knew how temperamental his Fourth Uncle was. Even his father would not be able to hold him back if Dongfang Tianyu accidentally angered him.
Because of their discussion about the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body, a lot of them missed the front half of Long Chen’s fight with Chu Yunxi.
Long Chen’s heart was beating rapidly.
This was the first time he could go all-out after reaching the Earthly Core Realm, so he was excited!
“Burning Devil Sun Fist, Blazing Flames!”
The flaming fist seal and the Billowing Cloud Finger clashed with each other, causing an explosion that ripped off a large portion of the swamp. The invisible force spread rapidly, filling the arena with fire and wind.
He became stronger!
Long Chen had used the Blazing Flames to stop Chu Yunxi’s Billowing Cloud Finger. Chu Yunxi was shocked by how much more powerful Long Chen had gotten.
I need to kill him now to stop him from becoming a threat to me in the future!
Chu Yunxi circulated his Qi rapidly. The collision between their techniques had almost caused both of them to fall into the swamp!
Even though Chu Yunxi steadied himself, his body was covered in mud. This made him angry. “How dare you dirty my clothes! You will die today!”
He ran at Long Chen once more.
Long Chen’s eyes were filled with passion.
Chu Yunxi, I finally have the strength to win against you! I will show you that you are beneath me!
The geniuses clashed again.
Chu Yunxi used another finger technique, one that was stronger than the Billowing Cloud FInger!
Liu Lan, watch carefully as I kill Long Chen.
Chu Yunxi was still angry and confused as to why she would choose Long Chen over him.
Qi swirled around him and his finger, causing afterimages to appear as if his fingers had multiplied!
Long Chen’s body was still engulfed in flames. The blood-red flames were the embodiment of destruction!
It’s so inconvenient to fight in a swamp.
Long Chen was aware of the situation regarding the swamp, but he did not fall back. When Chu Yunxi used a stronger technique, he did the same too.
“Burning Devil Sun Fist, Devil Sun Collision!”
A massive, black sun appeared and crashed towards Chu Yunxi.
“Useless tricks! Die, Long Chen!”
Chu Yunxi chuckled and ran towards Long Chen with his fingers stretched.
“Heavenly Illusory Fingers!”
Both of them crashed into each other once more.
The swamp exploded and mud started to rain down. The putrid stench spread everywhere, but everyone was still concentrated on the two people fighting in the middle of the arena.
“What?!” Chu Yunxi was shocked by Long Chen’s strength.
The Devil Sun Collision had not only broken his Heavenly Illusory Fingers, it also sent him flying backwards. Chu Yunxi’s blood was still boiling from the clash.
How could this be? The Heavenly Illusory Fingers is one the strongest intermediate Black-tier martial techniques. How did he come out on top?
Chu Yunxi crashed into the swamp while in disbelief. His image was completely thrown away when his body was completely covered in dirty mud.
“No!”
Chu Yunxi roared and exploded out of the mud, but several beasts emerged from the mud to attack him!
“Die, you Poison Crocodiles!”
Chu Yunxi was already angry when the crocodiles appeared. He killed all five of them in an instant with the Billowing Cloud Finger.
“Long Chen!”
Chu Yunxi saw that Long Chen was still fine and glared at him with hatred in his eyes.
“You chose to die by my strongest attack! I shall show you the strongest advanced Black-tier technique of the Turquoise family!”
