Chapter 2414: Chapter 2418: One Strike to Decide Victory
Cheng Kang paused for a moment, glanced at the elixir, and hesitantly looked towards Jiang Chen.
"Take it. I need a fair fight, not just for myself, but for our Changlin Academy too!"
Jiang Chen gently persuaded.
"Thank you."
Cheng Kang nodded, thanked him softly, and accepted the elixir.
"Alright, the challenge is postponed, now it’s your turn to fight!"
Wu Zhengfeng turned to look at Lei Kai and Yan Hu.
Yan Hu heard this and looked over at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Hu Zi, let me see the results of your training these past two years."
"Yes!"
Yan Hu nodded, and stepped onto the open ground.
Lei Kai smiled at Jiang Chen and stepped opposite Yan Hu.
Jiang Chen’s intention was clear, to let Yan Hu not hold back because Lei Kai was his senior, and to fight with all his strength, which was also what Lei Kai desired!
"Lei Kai of Changlin Academy, please fight with full force!"
Lei Kai looked at Yan Hu and spoke solemnly.
Yan Hu smiled lightly: "Yan Hu from Thunderclap Academy, I will fight with full force. My life’s goal is to have the qualification to stand beside the Young Master, who has always been unparalleled in the same realm. I can’t be too far off!"
The crowd heard these words and looked surprised at Jiang Chen. It was hard to imagine what had happened between the two that made the Acquired Realm Taoist Body Yan Hu so highly esteem and respect Jiang Chen.
Swoosh!
The two said no more, and as Yan Hu’s voice fell, two streams of Great Dao Divine Light erupted from their bodies.
One divine light was filled with a stern sword intent, faintly having a hint of intent domain; at this moment, Lei Kai seemed to transform into a sword, standing as a sharp sword out of its sheath!
On Yan Hu’s side, a violent thunder aura spread out, lightning flickered and exploded on Yan Hu’s body, and his entire body became illusory, seeming to transform into a dazzling thunder light.
"The Taoist body is forming, it seems Yan Hu is truly exerting all his efforts!"
Wu Zhengfeng spoke softly.
"Zhengfeng, who do you think will win?"
Liu Chang asked softly.
"I don’t know; both of them have an invincible potential in the same realm, without seeing the result, it’s impossible to predict the outcome!"
Wu Zhengfeng gently shook his head.
"From their presence, I feel danger; I’m afraid if we cross hands, I dare not claim I can defeat either!"
Liu Chang spoke softly, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
"Me too; these two... both probably have the strength for a cross-level challenge!"
Wu Zhengfeng replied softly.
Liu Chang heard this, looked at Wu Zhengfeng surprised, a shocked look in his eyes.
Wu Zhengfeng was chosen to host this newcomer entrance contest precisely because he was the first in the academy at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, and once held the top title in this entrance contest, yet now, even he said so...
"This year’s newcomers might be the strongest in a hundred years!"
Liu Chang sighed, glancing at Jiang Chen, Feng Qingyang, and others.
"Yes, in previous times, a Taoist body would appear once every hundred years; unexpectedly, two appeared this time, and even a prodigy not weaker than a Taoist body. In a few years, new names may appear on the Dragon List!"
Wu Zhengfeng nodded lightly.
"Speaking of prodigies, Elder Su is the true prodigy!"
Liu Chang laughed softly.
"Elder Su..."
Wu Zhengfeng’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration: "She is the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, how could she be described as a prodigy."
Liu Chang rolled his eyes at Wu Zhengfeng but did not refute. That talented Elder Su was overwhelmingly beautiful, and more than eighty percent of the male students in the academy harbored fantasies about her; it’s just unknown who will finally win over this peerless beauty.
Rumble!
Amidst their conversation, the battle ahead entered a white-hot stage.
Lei Kai transformed into a longsword, Yan Hu transformed into thunder, both made the final clash!
Rumbling!
A huge roar sounded, the two figures rapidly separated, both with pale faces.
Pfft!
Lei Kai spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes revealing a bitter smile, looked up at Yan Hu, and said softly: "I lost!"
Yan Hu nodded, his figure flashing back to Jiang Chen’s side.
"Not bad!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, stepped to Lei Kai, and handed over an elixir: "Senior Lei Kai, after this, join the practice with the seniors, but temporarily hold off breaking through."
"Alright!"
Lei Kai took the elixir, smiled, and nodded.
Turning to Cheng Kang, Jiang Chen composed himself, clasped his fists: "Senior Cheng Kang, please!"
Cheng Kang stood up, nodded, as the two simultaneously stepped into the open ground, brightened the eyes of everyone watching, staring intently at the pair.
At the foot of the mountain.
"Old drunkard, that Cheng Kang isn’t a simple guy, can Jiang Chen win?"
Ouyang Song glanced at the light screen and asked softly.
"Since Young Jiang dared to challenge, he will definitely win!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke confidently.
"That’s not so sure, Great Dao Comprehension is Great Dao Comprehension, and one’s own strength is their own strength, if you can’t utilize it, it’s wasted."
Lu Wangcheng glanced at Hu Yiqiu, said blandly: "If Jiang Chen were also at the Late Divine Infant Realm, I’d admit Cheng Kang isn’t his match, but he’s only at the Mid Divine Infant Realm; no matter how high the comprehension, the strength exerted is limited!"
"Your reasoning only suits mediocrities!"
Hu Yiqiu smiled mockingly: "Dean Lu, just watch, speak less, be careful of being embarrassed later!"
Lu Wangcheng’s expression changed slightly, grinned: "I’ll see how he slaps my face, I doubt Jiang Chen can defeat Cheng Kang!"
"Brother Jiang Chen, defeat him, I’m giving this chance to you, so don’t lose!"
A crisp voice emanated from the light screen, and everyone turned to look.
In the Trial Grounds.
Jiang Chen looked at Mu Ling’er, smiled lightly: "Rest assured, I will not disappoint you."
During the assessment task, he already knew of Mu Ling’er’s extraordinariness, this little girl was definitely not just a simple Late Divine Infant Realm, however, since Mu Ling’er didn’t say, he didn’t ask, everyone has their secrets, as his relationship with Mu Ling’er is good now, there’s no need to delve into some things.
"Jiang Chen, I admit you are a strong opponent. To show respect, let’s fight with all our strength in one strike!"
Cheng Kang earnestly looked at Jiang Chen.
"Alright, then let the decisive victory be in one strike!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly.
Hearing the two would decide victory in one strike, everyone’s eyes lit up, all revealing expectant expressions, originally expecting a fierce clash, unexpectedly the two sides were so straightforward; however, this kind of confrontation is what everyone likes the most!
Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain and in a grand hall of the inner court, two groups of old timers were also watching this battle.
This battle will determine how glorious Hu Yiqiu’s return to the academy will be!
