Eight Desolations Palm at the Perfected Realm

"What do you mean 'too much'? I'm just telling the truth," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Jiang Chen, don't get too arrogant. If you ever face me, I'll make you pay," Jiang Dong said coldly.

"As if I'd be afraid of you. I actually hope we can face each other sooner," Jiang Chen replied.

With Jiang Chen's current strength, he was no weaker than an ordinary Martial Master Realm expert. Could he really not handle Jiang Dong, who was only at the Martial Artist Realm, Ninth Level?

Jiang Chen was confident that among the Martial Artist Realm, he was practically invincible. At least in this small place called Qingyue Town, no one at the Martial Artist Realm could defeat him.

As for whether there were stronger opponents in larger places, Jiang Chen wasn't sure.

The world was vast, and there were bound to be incredibly powerful geniuses.

After speaking, Jiang Chen left.

Seeing Jiang Chen depart, Jiang Dong comforted Jiang Ling, "Jiang Ling, don't worry. I will definitely teach Jiang Chen a good lesson and avenge you."

"Then thank you," Jiang Ling managed a strained smile.

Being defeated by Jiang Chen in a single move in front of so many people was utterly humiliating.

"Brother Yunfeng, I didn't expect your son Jiang Chen to be so strong. His cultivation must be beyond the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level, right? He moved too fast earlier, so we couldn't discern his exact realm. However, being able to defeat a Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level opponent in one move means his strength is not weak," a Wang Family Elder said to Jiang Yunfeng.

"You flatter me. I'm not entirely sure about Jiang Chen's cultivation either. Everyone just needs to watch calmly," Jiang Yunfeng said with a smile.

Jiang Chen's impressive performance brought him face and honor.

Who wouldn't be proud to have a son who was a powerful genius?

"Hmph, this is just the first match. It's not like he's won first place, so there's nothing to be happy about," Jiang Hai snorted from the side.

Seeing Jiang Yunfeng's smug look made him extremely displeased.

"It's still a first victory, though," Jiang Yunfeng replied with a faint smile, completely unbothered by Jiang Hai's attitude.

Since he was competing with Jiang Hai for the position of family head anyway, he didn't need to show him any respect.

Jiang Chen's performance also shocked many members of the Jiang Family. This Jiang Chen had become so powerful; he was a formidable competitor.

Next up was Jiang Dong. After Jiang Chen's one-move victory over Jiang Ling, who was at the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level, he had stolen the spotlight.

Jiang Dong didn't want to fall behind Jiang Chen. He also defeated his opponent, who was at the Martial Artist Realm, Third Level, in one move, securing a victory.

His opponent was unlucky and was seriously injured.

After Jiang Dong's victory, Jiang Hai looked smug. His son, Jiang Dong, was truly outstanding.

Watching this scene, Jiang Chen remained calm, completely unfazed.

Next, Jiang Chen watched the other matches. Several other Jiang Family geniuses also performed exceptionally well, earning the cheers of the crowd.

An hour later, the second round began. Jiang Chen's opponent was Jiang Qi, who was at the Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level.

Jiang Qi was considered one of the top five favored candidates within the Jiang Family, indicating his considerable strength.

Jiang Chen stepped onto the stage and met Jiang Qi's gaze.

"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly. Jiang Ling wasn't your match, but my strength is far greater than Jiang Ling's. You should be careful," Jiang Qi said.

"You're the one who should be careful. My strength is not weak either," Jiang Chen replied calmly.

"Then, let's settle this with our hands," Jiang Qi shouted and attacked Jiang Chen with a palm strike.

"Eight Desolations Palm." Jiang Qi's palm gathered golden light, enhancing its power as he fiercely struck towards Jiang Chen.

The Eight Desolations Palm was a First-Tier Martial Skill of the Jiang Family, practiced by many clan members, and Jiang Chen also knew it.

"Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm has reached the Great Accomplishment level. Truly impressive! Jiang Qi's martial talent is extraordinary," someone remarked upon seeing the astonishing momentum of Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm, recognizing it as definitely being at the Great Accomplishment level.

It seemed Jiang Qi was also a genius with exceptional talent for martial skills.

Many marveled, especially some Martial Master Realm experts with keener eyes.

Jiang Tian nodded as he watched Jiang Qi. The emergence of a talented genius in the Jiang Family was beneficial for the family and a cause for celebration.

This Jiang Qi was quite low-key. It seemed Jiang Chen had encountered a formidable opponent.

This was the thought on many people's minds.

Seeing Jiang Qi's Eight Desolations Palm strike towards him, Jiang Chen let out a cold snort. He knew the Eight Desolations Palm too.

Jiang Chen also unleashed a palm strike. Golden light flared in his palm, even more dazzling than Jiang Qi's.

"What? Jiang Chen's Eight Desolations Palm is also this powerful? This is definitely the Perfected level of the Eight Desolations Palm." Many were greatly astonished upon seeing Jiang Chen's display.

The Perfected level of the Eight Desolations Palm was something even many Martial Master Realm experts couldn't achieve.

A junior disciple achieving this level?

It was truly astonishing.

Jiang Chen's current aura was that of the Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level. He was suppressing his cultivation. If he had revealed his full strength, Jiang Dong might have retreated and perhaps not fought him.

If Jiang Dong could suppress his cultivation to the Martial Artist Realm, Eighth Level, then Jiang Chen could also suppress his to the Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level.

Jiang Dong wanted to teach Jiang Chen a lesson, but didn't Jiang Chen also want to teach Jiang Dong a lesson?

Since Jiang Hai was always opposing his family, Jiang Chen intended to make Jiang Hai's family's life difficult.

"Boom..." The two exchanged a palm strike.

"Ah..." Jiang Qi felt a powerful force surge directly from his palm, sending him flying backward. His throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His entire body crashed outside the ring, just like Jiang Ling's situation before.

In the same single move, Jiang Chen sent him out of the ring.

Falling outside the ring meant losing.

"So strong." Many people gasped.

They were both at the Martial Artist Realm Fifth Level, so why was the difference in strength so vast?

Jiang Qi was actually no match for Jiang Chen, not even for a single move.

"Jiang Chen wins," the referee was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the result, he immediately announced the outcome of the match.

As for the Great Elder Jiang Hai, his expression was as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

The more outstanding Jiang Chen was, the more displeased he felt.

Jiang Chen won another round, and many people cheered.

Who would have thought that in this genius competition, Jiang Chen would stand out, and even Jiang Qi was no match for him.

"Hmph, only Martial Artist Realm Fifth Level. Compared to my son Jiang Dong, he's still far behind," the Great Elder Jiang Hai snorted coldly.

Jiang Yunfeng smiled without speaking.

He knew Jiang Chen's true cultivation was at the Martial Artist Realm Tenth Level, a realm even higher than Jiang Dong's. He didn't need to worry at all.

Jiang Chen landed off the stage, while Jiang Dong stared fixedly at Jiang Chen.

Beside Jiang Dong was that fatty, Jiang Nan. Previously, at the Martial Arts Pavilion, Jiang Nan had been taught a lesson by Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, you can be arrogant for a while. When you meet my brother later, he'll definitely beat you until you're crawling on the ground," Jiang Nan said fiercely from the side.

"Is that so? I'm also looking forward to facing him soon. I'd like to see how he'll beat me until I'm crawling on the ground," Jiang Chen sneered.

Having strength gave him confidence. Jiang Chen didn't take these threats to heart at all.

In Jiang Chen's mind, this Jiang Dong wasn't worthy of being his opponent anymore.

The gap in strength was too immense.
