Chapter 1813: The Power of the Crown of Confucius! (2/2)

”The Crown of Confucius?”

Wang Chong solemnly stared at that ancient crown atop Li Junxian's head.

Given the importance of the militarist-Confucian conflict, Li Junxian was certain to use all the strength he could mobilize. But he hadn't expected that Li Junxian would really take out the Crown of Confucius to use alongside the Noble Sage Sword.

Academic Lu really got it right, Wang Chong quietly remarked as he recalled the report from Zhang Que.

Former possessions of the Sage were not to be taken lightly. This was clearly Li Junxian's greatest tool in this battle, and Wang Chong did not dare to be careless with the Crown of Confucius until he could plumb the depths of its power.

”Wang Chong, I said before that you have no hope of winning this battle!” Li Junxian loudly proclaimed. His body exuded righteousness and majesty now that he wore the Crown of Confucius.

”The Confucian Sect does not like fighting, but that does not mean that it is not good at it. This Crown of Confucius is the best tool against crazed murderers and aggressive generals like you!”

Li Junxian strode forward as he spoke.

Powerful streams of energy began to rise from his body, causing his robes to stir and flap.

”Senior Brother!”

The white-robed young woman stared at Li Junxian in excitement.

Behind her, the rest of the Confucian Sect was just as excited.

The fact that he had been able to endure the trials of the Path of the First Sage and obtain the recognition of the Crown of Confucius had already made Li Junxian one of the most outstanding leaders in the history of the Confucian Sect.

And if he could defeat Wang Chong, Li Junxian truly would become the Confucian Sect's number one.

”Young Master, defeat him!”

”Young Master, you have to win!”

The Confucian Sect members excitedly called out. Even Elder Song's beard was trembling, a sign that he was finding it hard to keep his composure.

It appeared that Li Junxian with the Crown of Confucius was now entirely capable of blocking Wang Chong's attacks, meaning that his young master was essentially undefeatable.

The Confucian Sect's victory was nigh certain in this clash.

”I see. This must be your greatest tool.”

Wang Chong pressed his right hand against the Origin Immortal Sword, his expression turning much calmer. No matter what trump card Li Junxian had, he needed to win this battle.

”You're wrong! You have no idea what the Crown of Confucius truly represents!”

A cold and savage light flashed in Li Junxian's eyes.

Boom!

Li Junxian suddenly extended a finger, upon which all the energy over a vast area suddenly pulsed. Like subjects receiving a sovereign's decree, this energy began to converge, following Li Junxian's finger, and rumble toward Wang Chong.

Whoosh!

Wang Chong instantly shot away, barely avoiding Li Junxian's attack.

Behind him, there was a massive explosion as a large chunk of the training ground was blasted to bits. Even Wang Chong couldn't help but twitch an eye at this sight.

He knew that the Crown of Confucius had to be formidable, but he hadn't expected Li Junxian to be capable of commanding the surrounding Origin Energy.

Wang Chong could use his Stellar Energy to also control worldly Origin Energy, but not like Li Junxian. Li Junxian was not exuding the slightest ripple of Stellar Energy but was still capable of commanding Origin Energy.

The Sage's crown truly is formidable, but any object, as long as it's being used by a person, must have a flaw! Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

But until Wang Chong had clarified the abilities of the First Sage's crown, he could not afford to be careless.

”It's useless. If you want to know the powers of the Crown of Confucius, you don't need to go through all that trouble. I'll just tell you!”

Li Junxian's eyes were bright, his inky hair dancing around him. His sharp eyes had already seen through Wang Chong's objective.

Rumble!

A moment later, a powerful stream of energy emerged from the top of his head.

At the same time, a powerful wave of mental energy, as vast as the sea, erupted from the Crown of Confucius and engulfed the area.

”Not good!”

Upon sensing this power, Wang Chong paled.

As someone who had already lived two lives, Wang Chong possessed a Psychic Energy much stronger than those of the same level, particularly after absorbing the Nightmare Beast's Psychic Energy. Wang Chong's current Psychic Energy was five times that of other Subtle realm experts.

But the power erupting from Li Junxian was even more terrifying than Wang Chong's. It was that of ten, twenty, perhaps even thirty Subtle realm experts.

Even True Lord Yellow Dragon seemed dim in the face of this power.
