Chapter 2407: Chapter 2411: Astonishing Encounter with a Genius
"Hmph! It’s just grandstanding. Now that his Power of the Great Dao isn’t manifesting, I’m afraid he can’t even take a step!"
Lu Wangcheng’s face darkened as he spoke harshly.
Hu Yiqiu glanced at Lu Wangcheng, a slight smile tugging at his lips.
Nobody understands Jiang Chen’s Great Dao Comprehension better than he does. Not to mention, just the fact that he has condensed a Great Dao Wheel of Light is enough for Jiang Chen to compare with some Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivators in terms of Great Dao Comprehension, not counting combat strength.
In the battle outside Sky-Cleaving City, although Hu Yiqiu was engaged with Ling Tian, the Gun Emperor, and others, he constantly kept an eye on Jiang Chen’s movements and witnessed Jiang Chen slaying a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm.
Even though that cultivator’s strength was boosted by Elixirs and hadn’t condensed a Great Dao Wheel of Light, Hu Yiqiu estimated Jiang Chen currently possesses the strength to challenge the top ranker of Divine Infant Realm Peak among these newcomers.
Mere top ranker of Late Divine Infant Realm, Jiang Chen is absolutely more than capable.
Therefore, Hu Yiqiu wasn’t worried at all.
"He’s moving, Jiang Chen is moving!"
"Whoa, how is he walking so fast?!"
"He hasn’t even unleashed the Great Dao Divine Light?!"
"Without revealing the power of the Great Dao, he’s moving so fast. How profound must his Great Dao Comprehension be!"
Exclamations of shock echoed, and all the deans watched the figure on the light screen with surprise.
Lu Wangcheng’s expression changed, shock evident in his eyes.
Beside him, Li Qisheng, the dean of Changlan Academy, furrowed his brows slightly, concern flashing in his eyes.
In the Mid Divine Infant Realm area, their academy’s student Lin Zhong was in the lead, only three meters from the finish line, but at Jiang Chen’s speed, he might catch up soon!
Across a desert expanse.
Unable to comprehend the Great Dao anymore, Jiang Chen held nothing back and walked swiftly forward.
"Whoa, is this kid a monster?"
"How is he walking so fast?"
"Without manifesting the power of the Great Dao, how can he move this quickly?"
"No way, this must be cheating! How can anyone at this realm have such strong Great Dao Comprehension?"
Students looked on in shock at the figure swiftly overtaking them, their eyes nearly popping out.
Every step felt incredibly difficult for them, yet the guy was striding like a dragon or tiger, covering over ten meters in one go. This must be a glitch, right? Are we even in the same Trial Grounds?
Jiang Chen’s relaxed yet forceful steps made students doubt whether everyone was in the same space!
The senior students responsible for ensuring safety also stared at Jiang Chen like he was a monster, incredulity in their eyes.
They had gone through this stage themselves, some even during the Mid Divine Infant Realm, but seeing Jiang Chen strolling in this area as if he were on a walk while only at Mid Divine Infant Realm, was like seeing a ghost.
"Wait a moment!"
As Jiang Chen reached the eighty-meter mark, the senior student supervising there couldn’t help but stop him.
"How did you do it?"
A senior student looked at Jiang Chen full of suspicion.
"Senior, isn’t your question inappropriate?"
Jiang Chen glanced at him, speaking indifferently.
Jiang Chen’s attitude left the person dissatisfied, his face darkening as he said solemnly, "I suspect you’re using some Spiritual Artifact to shield against the Great Dao’s suppression, so take off your Space Ring for inspection!"
"Li Yunluo, isn’t this inappropriate? All the elders are witnessing this trial; you shouldn’t abuse your authority here just because your mentor had past grievances with Elder Jiu!"
A nearby senior student frowned as he spoke.
Hearing the demand to inspect his Space Ring, Jiang Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly, feeling it was too invasive even if cheating was suspected.
But upon hearing the other student’s words, Jiang Chen immediately understood, eyeing Li Yunluo with displeasure.
"Zhao Gang, mind your own business. This kid is suspected of cheating, so inspecting his Space Ring is perfectly justified!"
Li Yunluo turned to glare at the speaking senior, a threatening look in his eyes.
Zhao Gang’s face changed, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but thinking of the people backing Li Yunluo, he reluctantly fell silent.
"Kid, take off the Space Ring!"
Seeing Zhao Gang back down, Li Yunluo turned to Jiang Chen with a cold sneer.
"If you want to check if I’m cheating, there’s no need to inspect the Space Ring."
Jiang Chen spoke coldly, "This is a test of Great Dao Comprehension, so, could you please receive one move of my Great Dao Attack first? By then, whether I’m cheating will be clear to you, and even if it isn’t, the elders present will know!"
"What? You want to fight me?"
Li Yunluo seemed to hear something unbelievable, exclaiming loudly, "Kid, so arrogant upon entering the academy, it seems as a senior, I must teach you respect on behalf of Elder Jiu!"
"On behalf of my mentor? Are you worthy?"
Jiang Chen replied coldly.
"You dare court death!"
Li Yunluo’s face turned black, being questioned about his worthiness in front of so many newcomers felt like a huge insult.
Buzz!
In a fit of rage and shame, Li Yunluo unleashed a vast Great Dao Divine Light, his frame flashing as he struck fiercely at Jiang Chen.
Knowing he couldn’t kill Jiang Chen here, but could make him lose eligibility for the big competition, this was also what his mentor had instructed, considering Jiang Chen proposed a physical inspection, he had his justification for the elders!
Thus, Li Yunluo only used thirty percent of his strength.
It’s important to note that Li Yunluo was a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm; thirty percent of his power could definitely heavily injure and make a Late Divine Infant Realm practitioner collapse, let alone a Mid Divine Infant Realm Jiang Chen.
Hence Li Yunluo not only wanted to heavily injure Jiang Chen but also take the opportunity to cripple him!
"Li Yunluo!"
"Stop!"
Zhao Gang and others’ faces changed, exclaiming in shock, wanting to intercept but it was too late, as Li Yunluo and Jiang Chen were too close!
Biting down, Zhao Gang’s body erupted with blazing Great Dao Divine Light, a fiery serpent lunged towards Li Yunluo, planning to "surround Wei to rescue Zhao".
Whoosh!
As Li Yunluo struck, a cold gleam flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, and dazzling five-colored Divine Light burst from his body.
"Five Elements Sword! Dao Rhythm Empowerment!"
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
The five-colored Divine Light instantly converged into a Five-colored Giant Sword, surrounded by shimmering halos.
"Kill!"
With a single hand gesture, Jiang Chen’s eyes emitted a cold gleam.
Swish!
The Five-colored Giant Sword instantly appeared in front, thrusting towards Li Yunluo’s palm.
"Five types of Great Dao!? He comprehended five types of Great Dao!?"
"Dao Rhythm! That’s Dao Rhythm! He’s comprehended Dao Rhythm, something Integration Path Realm experts dream of!"
"Too strong! No wonder he got this far without manifesting the Power of the Great Dao!"
"Can he block this attack? That senior probably wasn’t using full force!"
Seeing Jiang Chen’s attack, the students all understood how Jiang Chen managed to get here, envying his comprehension ability immensely!
