Sparring with Scarlet King (Part 2)

Scarlet King had no choice but to agree to spar with Chen An. However, before the match began, he repeatedly stressed that Chen An could not summon Undead Puppets to assist in battle. If he summoned Undead Puppets, there would be no point in fighting—he could only take a beating.

Chen An and Scarlet King's battle began quickly. Gu Yue Na, Zi Ji, and the others watched from afar. Chen An still did not transform directly, instead fighting Scarlet King in his normal state.

He was the first to draw upon the Death God Dragon's power. What he wanted to test was his overall strength, rather than limiting himself to the Xuan Wu Force. After breaking through, his strength had improved across the board. With the Death God Dragon's power, his combat ability was clearly greater than before, and he was faster and more agile.

The divine artifact, the Scythe of Death, also seemed to have changed somewhat. It was sharper, and its Death Qi had become denser. The instant it cut through an opponent's skin, it could inject more Death Qi and affect them.

Chen An was not particularly powerful in this state, so he found fighting Scarlet King somewhat strenuous. Still, it was manageable—roughly a four-to-six split, with Chen An at four and Scarlet King at six.

After all, Scarlet King was not using his full strength in human form either. He was more accustomed to fighting in his true form. In human form, he only possessed eighty percent of his true-form strength. That was not weak, but neither was it his strongest state.

Chen An's use of the Scythe of Death became increasingly skillful. His attacks were fierce and swift, and the death blade rays he slashed out caused Scarlet King no small amount of trouble.
