Chapter 1574: Second Round (1/2)
A dark cloud of anger formed over Zhao Lei’s face, but he remained silent.
After an awkward moment of silence, Fang Gan coughed lightly in an attempt to break the awkward atmosphere. All of a sudden, the disciples spectating the match broke out into fervent discussion.
Fang Gan turned to look at the source of the discussions and the sight that greeted him caused his jaws to drop. In the second arena, Sun Shihai was standing triumphantly, with a huge grin on his face, his opponent however, was sprawled on the ground.
“Martial Uncle Sun’s strength is beyond comprehension! He took out Guo Zhong, a Sixth Order God King realm expert, with a single punch!”
“That punch probably only contained a thousandth of Martial Uncle Sun’s power! Guo Zhong is really lucky! If Martial uncle Sun used all his strength, Guo Zhong would be drinking tea in the afterlife!”
“We won’t even be able to see his body! He will probably disintegrate if Martial Uncle Sun used his full strength!”
Everyone broke out into heated discussion about the battle that just occurred.
“Martial Uncle Sun is unparalleled!”
The other disciples from the Snow Moon Hall cheered for his victory and praised him to the high heavens.
Zhou Chen, Yan Ying, and the Grand Elder from Snow Moon Hall beamed with pride.
“Shihai is acting too unbridled! He should have acted more politely and given Guo Zhong a chance to fight back! After all, we are all from the same sect...” Zhou Chen cackled with laughter as he tried to conceal his pride and conceit.
A frown formed on Zhao Lei's face.
They hadn’t planned on Sun Shihai being this strong.
Zhou Chen turned to face Li Shan and Chen Yirong, “So what are your thoughts? What can we do about this?” He wanted to see if they had any other opinion on Sun Shihai’s strength.
Since the start, Zhou Chen knew that Li Shan and Chen Yirong were speculating about Sun Shihai’s strength. He knew that they were definitely surprised to see his disciple’s sudden increase in strength.
When Li Shan heard what Zhou Chen had to say, he exclaimed in amazement, ”Shihai's strength really exceeded our expectations!”
Chen Yirong interjected, ”With Shihai’s speed of cultivation, by the time the Battle of the Heavenly Court begins, it is very likely that he will be able to enter the top thousand!”
Zhou Chen gave a hearty laugh.
At that moment, Chen Longshi was battling it out with Huang Xiaolong in the fifty-fourth arena. No longer holding himself back, Chen Longshi launched himself at Huang Xiaolong, with godforce circulating in his palm.
A deafening boom resonated through the arena, as the palm attack struck its target.
It was an attack unique to the Fortune Emperor Palace, known as the Heavenly Thunder Palm One needed an innate thunder bone to be able to practice the technique, and the practitioner had to be surrounded by lighting during the training process. Only after tens of thousands of years of absorbing the lightning around him would he be able to achieve small completion in the technique.
“I believe that senior brother Chen’s Heavenly Thunder Palm has surpassed the small completion stage… He might even have reached the grand completion phase of the technique!” A disciple exclaimed when he saw Chen Longshi’s spectacular attack.
”Even if he is not at the grand completion stage, senior brother Chen is born with an innate thunder bone. He’s able to cultivate a hundred times faster than ordinary people! His attack power when unleashing a lightning based move will be more than double than that of any other disciple!” Another disciple continued.
While the disciples from the Snow Moon Hall were still engaged in their discussions, Huang Xiaolong casually raised his finger and pointed at Chen Longshi who was rushing towards him.
The moment he pointed at Chen Longshi, all the energy in the hall seemed to gather at his fingertip. As brilliant rays of light scattered around the hall, many disciples were blinded for a moment.
If Jiang Hong was present, he would have cried out in amazement. He had defeated Mo Xiao in the past with a single finger. Right now, Huang Xiaolong’s attack didn’t merely look the same, but the theory behind his attack was completely similar to when Jiang Hong had made his move.
Chen Longshi saw a blinding ray of light flash by and a sharp pain erupted from his chest. He was sent flying backwards as though someone had slammed a sledgehammer in his chest.
When the light finally dissipated, everyone’s gaze fell on Chen Longshi’s body which was crumpled on the edge of the arena. Blood flowed from the gaping hole in his chest.
He was defeated!
He was defeated after a single point from Huang Xiaolong!
