Chapter 738: Mysterious Origins!
“Hurry up, I must leave soon.”
Xu Chen maintained a calm expression as he looked at Cheng Qingfeng, appearing sincere. He truly was in a rush.
However, for Cheng Qingfeng, this was an outright insult.
At this year’s Saint Martial Assembly, he was determined to show that he was just as capable as those disciples from renowned sects.
He wanted to prove himself, much like the recent buzz around Overlord Sect’s Yi Su!
And he too planned to earn fame with a series of ten consecutive victories, marking a legendary battle!
“As you wish!”
Cheng Qingfeng had always approached matters with balance and a calm mind. Yet, in this moment, fury consumed him. His spear quivered in his grasp, emitting a golden light. With unmatched speed, he charged forward like the wind, targeting Xu Chen.
“Swoosh…”
The speed was blinding, and a sharp golden light exploded, piercing Xu Chen’s chest. The onlookers were stunned, shocked by what they saw.
The spear tip cut through the air, and Xu Chen’s figure broke apart instantly. However, instead of blood spurting out, his voice was heard, “First move!”
As the words echoed, Xu Chen had already reappeared beside Cheng Qingfeng, his expression still calm.
Cheng Qingfeng’s face darkened. His eyes narrowed as a subtle concentration appeared on his face. The golden spear in his hand quivered suddenly, swirling and moving like a serpent. In a quick motion, he executed a technique called “Return Horse Spear,” unleashing a golden light aimed directly at Xu Chen.
“What do you see?”
Xi Wuqing whispered to Su Yi, his gaze fixed on Xu Chen on the martial arts stage, intrigued.
“What incredible speed, and such a mysterious identity. Truly unfathomable.”
Su Yi spoke, eyes locked on Xu Chen.
The mysterious identity and his speed caused Su Yi’s keen spiritual senses to register that Xu Chen had surpassed his own Hundred Transformations Step in every aspect.
“His movements are unlike anything they have encountered before, and his presence is strangely captivating.”
Xi Wuqing, too, was slightly moved. Xu Chen’s movements were extraordinary and unpredictable. Even with his experience, Xi Wuqing had never witnessed anything like it. The aura emanating from Xu Chen felt mysterious, something even he couldn’t decipher.
“How enigmatic!”
Su Yi’s eyes flickered as he noticed Xu Chen’s aura becoming imperceptible, making it impossible for him to sense further.
“So, who do you think will win?”
Xi Wuqing seemed genuinely curious as he posed the question to Su Yi.
“Cheng Qingfeng, a young talent with great promise. But now, anger and distraction have clouded his judgment. If he doesn’t use his trump card soon, he will likely be defeated. It seems unlikely that he will maintain his streak of six victories.”
Su Yi commented, “Cheng Qingfeng is truly remarkable. He stands out among his peers.”
However, Xu Chen at this moment seemed even more mysterious and unpredictable. Despite Cheng Qingfeng’s fierce attacks, Xu Chen remained composed and unbothered. His demeanor was calm, almost as if Cheng Qingfeng’s undefeated streak might come to an end.
“The sixth move has passed!”
As Su Yi and Xi Wuqing spoke, Cheng Qingfeng had already completed his sixth move, his expression now serious.
A stir of excitement erupted among the spectators around the martial arts stage.
At this moment, as Cheng Qingfeng’s sixth move was evaded, a heavy silence fell over the area.
All eyes were fixed on the stage, as the audience waited in suspense for what would come next.
“After six moves, it’s time to use your trump card or face defeat!”
Xu Chen gazed calmly at Cheng Qingfeng, his white robe flowing gently, still composed.
Cheng Qingfeng’s face darkened further. He now understood just how formidable his opponent was. Despite six attempts, he had failed to even graze Xu Chen. The other’s power was beyond comprehension.
Now, his only option was to reveal his trump card.
“Boom!”
A surge of energy exploded, golden light shimmering as Cheng Qingfeng unleashed all his inner energy, revealing the raw power of the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
“Ouch!”
In the distance, a faint dragon’s roar could be heard, and the overwhelming aura seemed to consume the surroundings.
At that moment, Cheng Qingfeng struck. His body erupted in golden flames, shining brightly. The entire martial arts platform seemed to ignite as he stomped the ground and soared forward. His spear pointed straight ahead, and his body merged with his weapon, forming a colossal golden dragon silhouette in the light. It shot directly at Xu Chen.
“Wow, this is unbelievable!”
Spectators from all directions gasped in awe. This was Cheng Qingfeng’s true power, a force of such intensity.
“The Golden Dragon Soared Across the Sky, originating from the Qi Mountain Gun School!”
Xi Wuqing murmured softly, recognizing Cheng Qingfeng’s origins.
“The Gate of the Divine Gun? Never heard of it.”
Su Yi remarked, his eyes fixed on the stage, intrigued by Cheng Qingfeng’s powerful move. The trump card was indeed impressive. He wondered how Xu Chen would respond.
“The Gate of the Divine Gun is a small sect situated at the foot of a mountain, a third-rate faction. Qishan is quite remote, so it’s normal for you to not be familiar with it,” Xi Wuqing explained.
The backstory was lengthy, but on the martial arts stage, events were unfolding at a breakneck pace.
As the golden glow of Cheng Qingfeng’s spear rushed forward and countless gazes followed, Xu Chen chose not to evade. He raised a single hand, and his entire body erupted in a radiant white brilliance that shot into the sky, summoning a mighty storm. It whirled like a tornado, gathering the energies of the heavens and earth, crashing outward to collide with the golden spear’s dragon-like glow.
“Huff and puff…”
The air trembled, and the ground seemed to shake uncontrollably on the martial arts stage.
Visible to the eye, beams of force shattered the golden spear glow, inch by inch.
The storm surged forward, obliterating the golden light, before engulfing Cheng Qingfeng entirely.
“Plop…”
Cheng Qingfeng coughed up blood as his body was flung into the air by the force of the storm, crashing heavily onto the ground in front of the competition stage.
Cheng Qingfeng continued to cough up blood, his spear falling from his grasp, landing beside him.
The onlookers were stunned, awestruck by the sheer power displayed.
Xu Chen, with his calm and composed demeanor, had defeated Cheng Qingfeng with a single move, ending his streak of six consecutive victories.
At that moment, the entire crowd was filled with admiration, gazing in stunned silence.
The handsome young man was incredibly powerful. His beauty was striking, yet there was no softness in his presence. At that moment, he radiated an overwhelming and commanding aura, surrounded by a brilliant glow. His presence was so domineering that others could only watch from a distance, as if he was looking down on all life.
“Truly powerful!”
Su Yi marveled, deeply impressed by the strength of this young man.
With a mere wave, Su Yi could easily defeat Cheng Qingfeng. In his eyes, it might not be all that extraordinary—Ouyang Jinwei from the Sacred Mountain could easily do the same.
But this Xu Chen, after dispatching Cheng Qingfeng so effortlessly, still managed to remain elusive, with not even a trace of his aura detectable. No one could peer into the depths of his power.
It was clear that Xu Chen’s victory over Cheng Qingfeng was achieved with absolute ease, showcasing a terrifying strength that few could even fathom.
“Xu Chen is so handsome!”
“He’s incredibly handsome!”
The young girls in the crowd were the first to snap back to reality. Some of the bolder ones cheered, their voices filled with excitement.
“Oh my! He’s become so strong!”
The entire arena was filled with awe and amazement as Xu Chen emerged, his strength on full display.
