Chapter 2320: Chapter 2324: This Young Man Is Destined for Greatness (Bonus for ‘Gan’!)
Buzz!
A earth-yellow Great Dao Divine Light burst from the leading youth, forming an arc-shaped solid shield in front of him and overhead.
Concrete Shield!
The leading youth immediately adopted a defensive posture.
Jiang Chen’s lips curled slightly, showing a trace of disdain. The aura from the youth was rather robust, clearly a top-notch student at the Late Divine Infant Realm in their academy.
Yet his performance was disappointing, conceding defeat before the battle began, losing momentum without even a fight.
"Five Elements Sword!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
A low shout rang out, and the five-colored giant sword in the air plunged straight down, merging into the spiritual longsword in Jiang Chen’s right hand.
The leading youth was slightly taken aback, his brow furrowed tightly, staring intently at the spiritual longsword in Jiang Chen’s left hand.
Buzz!
An overwhelming aura emerged as Jiang Chen’s spiritual power operated to the extreme, infusing pure spiritual power into the spiritual longsword.
Following that, a glowing halo appeared around the longsword, which began to tremble violently, emitting an extremely fierce aura.
"Dao Rhythm!? How is this possible?!"
The leading youth’s face changed, exclaiming in panic, his eyes showing extreme fear.
"Slash!"
Jiang Chen shouted, grasping the longsword, leaping upward, and fiercely slashing at the Concrete Shield!
Boom!
A fierce rumbling sounded, the Concrete Shield shattered upon impact, and the violent force hit the leading youth hard.
Pfft!
The youth spat out a mouthful of blood, his body thrown back, crashing into the large tree behind him.
Crack! Crack!
Consecutive snapping sounds were heard as the leading youth broke through more than a dozen giant trees before embedding deeply into a massive tree with a circumference fit for five people.
Pfft!
He spat out blood again, his face instantly turning pale, all his bones shattered, his body limp as he fell to the ground.
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the longsword’s blade, finally exploding into fragments.
Swoosh!
The black-faced elder appeared again, catching the falling leading youth from the tree, giving Jiang Chen a fierce look, then moved to leave.
"Leave the Demon Core!"
Jiang Chen shouted loudly.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Three unusually strong pressures emerged, directly locking the space above the black-faced elder, ready to descend instantly upon any movement.
The black-faced elder’s face sank, looking upward, his eyes showing a trace of apprehension.
He reached out to remove the special ring from the leading youth’s hand, his eyes shifting as his spiritual energy quietly activated.
Boom!
The rumbling sounded, the three powerful pressures dropped with a roar, causing the air to tremble.
Thud!
The black-faced elder knelt down again, creating a deep black pit in the ground, centered from the pit, the ground cracked in various places.
"No need to infuse spiritual power to throw a ring!"
The black-faced elder tried to shout, but a cold voice interrupted him.
Momentarily stunned, the black-faced elder seethed internally, full of fierce killing intent, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen calmly looked at the black-faced elder, walked directly to him, held out his hand, and said, "Hand it over! Or, if you prefer, try to see whose life is tougher!"
Buzz!
Seemingly cooperating with Jiang Chen, the three pressures in the air intensified, three energy patterns deliberately locked onto the black-faced elder, dangling three Great Dao auras directly over his head.
A strong sense of humiliation surged in, the black-faced elder’s face becoming terrifyingly grim, glaring at Jiang Chen, "Kid, you’re too arrogant! Arrogance shortens life!"
"If you hadn’t moved against Changlin Academy, I wouldn’t be targeting your academy’s people. But since you acted first, don’t blame me! All Earthwalk Academy students below the Divine Infant Realm Peak in this forest are now my targets!"
Jiang Chen looked indifferent at the black-faced elder, fearless in his gaze.
"You dare!"
The black-faced elder’s face changed, shouting angrily.
Jiang Chen’s combat ability was clear to him, and students below Divine Infant Realm Peak in his academy were certainly not his match. If Jiang Chen really followed through, his academy would be left with only two students at Divine Infant Realm Peak, making it more difficult to compete for assessment slots, especially as all academies prepared students with one foot in the Void Refinement Realm for this entrance assessment!
"Wait and see if I dare!"
Jiang Chen smiled lightly, but his eyes remained cold, "Hand over the ring, or fight, choose one!"
The black-faced elder’s expression changed, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, gritting his teeth, in the end, he did not dare try anything, as the three Great Dao auras in the air grew more intense, the three Great Dao attacks were almost taking shape.
Feeling this aura, the black-faced elder knew well, Hu Yiqiu and the others were nearby, and if he made a move, he would be torn apart by the three experts instantly.
"You will die horribly!"
The black-faced elder glared coldly at Jiang Chen, tossed the ring to him, and with the leading youth in tow, his figure flickered, leaping into the air, disappearing swiftly.
Whew!
As the black-faced elder left, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, reaching out to catch the ring as an internal array wave ceased its operation quietly.
"Well done, kid! Hahaha..."
Hu Yiqiu’s boisterous laughter echoed from the sky.
Jiang Chen looked up, watching three beams of light fly out of the forest.
"Damn! The people of Changlin Academy will never be threatened by you!"
Suddenly, a loud shout faintly came, Jiang Chen’s face changed, his figure flickered towards the origin of the sound, it was Yun Tao’s voice!
"That kid, gutsy!"
In the Central Region of the Demonic Beast Forest, Jin Peng looked at the light screen, showing a bit of admiration; "Daring to talk about life resilience in front of a Unity Realm expert, it’s probably only this kid among the Divine Infant Realm!"
"He’s someone who never compromises, not just against early Unity Realm, even facing Integration Realm Peak, he remains unyielding. Back then, the twelve of us showed a projection using Primordial Spirit Power in front of him, and he even cut down our Primordial Spirit host!"
Medusa gazed at Jiang Chen on the light screen, showing reminiscence in her eyes.
"What? This kid even..."
Jin Peng looked at Medusa in surprise, then looked again at the light screen, showing a bit of admiration in his eyes.
If he were only at mid Divine Infant Realm, he certainly wouldn’t dare!
"His Dao Heart is solid, and he’s already evolved a heart for greatness. If this child doesn’t perish, his future accomplishments will be extraordinary!"
Elder Shi spoke softly.
The others nodded, then fell into silence.
Although what Jiang Chen did was indeed surprising, at this time, he was just a mid Divine Infant Realm strength, unable to elicit too much attention from the likes of Elder Shi, who already stated that only if he doesn’t perish will he achieve greatness.
Throughout history, many dazzling talents at low realm have perished on the path of seeking the Dao. Once dead, no talent, no heart for greatness has any significance!
