Thus, he roared, "Xu Chen, I never expected you to rely on women to prop you up. You are not worthy of being my opponent."
Xu Chen thought to himself that this would not do. In this situation, he really could not back down.
So he waved his hand. "Enough, stay out of it. I'll fight him and see how much he has improved."
Chi Lian frowned. "No."
Xu Chen said impatiently, "I told you to stay out of it. Didn't you hear me?"
Chi Lian: "..."
You still dare yell at me? Have you eaten bear's heart and leopard's guts?
Damn it, I had actually been a little scared just now.
Was it because I liked him?
After thinking it over, Chi Lian stomped her foot. "Fine, I won't interfere, then. Hmph! You don't know a good heart when you see one."
Her words were full of a young girl's mannerisms.
The Academy disciples beside them were dumbfounded.
This was Elder Chi Lian?
Fuck, anyone who did not know better would think she was Xu Chen's wife.
Seeing Xu Chen like this, Li Ruoling did not dare step forward either, afraid of angering him.
Forget it. She could help him in secret too.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan became even more furious.
Why were all the women circling around Xu Chen?!
He was a Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts genius with monstrous talent. He was the one who should have been the protagonist!
Whoosh!
The very next second, Ye Xuan charged straight at Xu Chen, his fury soaring to the heavens.
With a slight flick of his longsword, he drew three sword flowers.
In an instant, Sword Qi turned razor-sharp, and sword light blazed dazzlingly.
In the end, a basketball-sized five-pointed star formed from Sword Qi suddenly shot toward Xu Chen with a piercing howl.
Faintly, the wind howled around it, its momentum vast and surging.
Xu Chen nodded. This was the first layer of the Haoxuan Emperor Cloud Sword, Haoxuan Heavenly Star.
If someone of the same realm was struck by it, even if they did not die, they would be severely injured.
If he took this hit, he would presumably lose.
Of course, his words remained arrogant on the surface. "What trash sword technique? I'm not afraid of it at all."
Thus, he stood there without moving, using his physical body to forcefully withstand Haoxuan Heavenly Star.
Li Ruoling and Chi Lian were both extremely worried. This bastard was not going to be seriously injured again, was he?
Bang!
A resounding collision rang out as Haoxuan Heavenly Star slammed viciously into Xu Chen's chest.
Just as everyone believed Xu Chen would surely be injured, they discovered that he was completely unharmed.
That Haoxuan Heavenly Star was like a gentle breeze, slowly brushing over Xu Chen's body without leaving the slightest trace.
Xu Chen was dumbfounded. Fuck, nothing happened?
No, damn it, Haoxuan Heavenly Star combined with Late-stage Third Rank had attack power comparable to a Third Rank Perfection strike, even a Half-step Fourth Rank.
Yet in the end, only his clothes were torn. He had not even lost a single hair.
Truly. Not a hair lost!
Outrageous!
He blinked and touched his chest, only to find no mark at all. It neither hurt nor itched!
At this moment, not only was Xu Chen dumbfounded, everyone around him was stunned as well.
Just how powerful did one's physical body have to be to achieve something like this?
Too damn awesome, bro. You are a god, you are light, you are the one and only legend!
I bow in worship!
Ye Xuan was petrified on the spot, left disheveled in the wind.
The corners of his mouth twitched wildly. This fucking did nothing to him?
What the hell, this was his strongest attack!
Was there any need to crush someone's confidence like this?
PS: I beg on my knees for all kinds of data!!!
At this moment, the protagonist Ye Xuan suffered another savage blow.
It was as if a heavy hammer had fallen from the sky and smashed directly into his wound.
His injuries, which had not yet healed, immediately worsened upon injury.
At this point, Xu Chen was no longer merely a knot in his heart. He had become a complete Inner Demon.
He felt that if he did not remove this Inner Demon, his future cultivation would surely be hindered.
For a time, he fell into confusion.
Xu Chen, meanwhile, had a pained expression. Only now did he realize that his physical body had already reached the Fourth Rank.
How it had improved, he had absolutely no idea!
But this time, he had not taken the initiative to attack. He had crushed Ye Xuan passively.
Thus, Xu Chen sneered. "Trash. You can't even break through my physical body, yet you want to fight me? Are you worthy?"
Ye Xuan's face turned livid, incomparably ugly, yet he had no retort.
Duanmu Xin, hidden in the shadows, clicked her tongue. "My dear brother, how did you become this strong?"
She had just wanted to go out and beat Ye Xuan up, but in the end, she found there was no need.
This bastard's physical body in this life was absurdly powerful. It seemed to have already reached the Late-stage Fourth Rank.
Tsk tsk, the protagonist Ye Xuan was a little pitiful!
Even Chi Lian beside them was stunned. Xu Chen had only been with Han Di for a few days, yet his physical body had already reached this level?
Li Ruoling was overjoyed. As expected of her man—he had actually transformed. She loved him to death.
The disciples of Jixia Academy, meanwhile, were all dumbstruck.
When Xu Chen faced Ye Xuan, it was as though there was bloodline suppression between them!
So what if you cultivated both alchemy and martial arts? In this world, martial strength reigned supreme.
"Do not lose heart. Your master can help you defeat him."
Just as Ye Xuan was about to sink completely, Spirit Venerable's voice sounded in his heart.
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. "Master, make your move."
He had wanted to defeat Xu Chen with his own strength.
But in the end, he came to understand that as long as he could win, anyone's power would do.
Buzz!
The next second, spiritual energy surged across Ye Xuan's body, and his aura rapidly strengthened.
In the blink of an eye, he shot up from Late-stage Third Rank to the Fourth Rank.
His eyes were filled with icy coldness, and even frost seeped from his body.
Within a radius of ten li centered on him, everything was filled with chilling frost.
In the end, Ye Xuan's realm stabilized at the Fifth Rank.
In truth, Spirit Venerable's strength was not limited to the Fifth Rank, but he felt that was more than enough to crush Xu Chen.
Arrogance surged into Ye Xuan's eyes once again as he looked coldly at Xu Chen. "What did you just say?"
Xu Chen bared his teeth. It was Spirit Venerable.
Spirit Venerable cultivated an ice-attribute technique. In the Original Text, when he recovered his realm, a single thought froze a million li.
Although he was merely possessing Ye Xuan now and his strength had been greatly reduced, freezing a mere ten li was no challenge at all.
It seemed he still had to lose today.
