Chapter 444: Lu Yang’s Strongest Move
Translator: DarkAngel_ Editor: Kurisu
Shen Zhong Cheng, twenty-ninth on the last Prodigy Roll. In this tournament, he managed to advance even further and squeeze into the top ten. He reached the eighth place this time. The name of the White-Robed Sword King resounded all over the world, and with him being merely in his early twenties, it was highly possible that he would become one of the leaders of the new generation of the north region.
And it was precisely this kind of outstanding genius that was completely suppressed and thrashed easily by another. A consecutive bout of seven punches was enough to defeat him; what kind of concept was that?
A shocked stillness fell upon all the spectators. How did the Winter Moon Sect come to possess such a freak? Against an opponent in the same cultivation level, seven punches were enough to defeat Shen Zhong Cheng. If he actually broke through to the Spiritual Infant Tier, then wouldn’t that mean that he could sweep away all those in the same cultivation level and be invincible for an era?
“I’ve lost!” Shen Zhong Cheng coughed up blood. Though he had not suffered too serious an injury, he had still been attacked quite harshly. However, a heated battle intent continued to burn within his eyes. “I will make you my aim, and one day, I will definitely defeat you!”
“I wish you good luck,” Ling Han said, smiling. He wouldn’t be using this ident.i.ty for too long, and in future, Shen Zhong Cheng would have to seek out an inexistent person for a battle. Just the thought of it made Ling Han pity him a bit.
Shen Zhong Cheng stared at Ling Han for a moment longer before finally turning around and leaving.
“Heavens, so powerful. If this guy actually took part in the Prodigy Tournament, he’d definitely have the ability to attempt seizing the first place?”
“Perhaps he does not think the Prodigy Roll is important at all?”
“That’s right. I remember there was a powerful guy who previously delivered a palm strike worth twenty Stars of the Spiritual Infant Tier of battle prowess, but he absolutely disdained taking part!”
“What, twenty Stars of Spiritual Infant Tier? Are you kidding me?”
“Hehe, you can make some casual enquiries. Who else doesn’t know about that?”
“With that kind of ability, there is of course no need for him to partic.i.p.ate in the Prodigy Tournament. That would practically be playing around with kids, and much too degrading.”
“That may not be the case. That person said that he had used a Spirit Tool which was what allowed him that kind of battle prowess.”
“Hehehe, I, too, am more willing to believe that theory.”
In the midst of the conversations of the spectators, the battles proceeded.
The senior elite cultivators had indeed not wasted their years spent cultivating. Even if they had similar battle prowess of the same cultivation level with their opponent, their cultivation was much higher, and they had all reached the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. Furthermore, they had all stayed at this level for a certain period of time and strengthened their foundations to an incredible extent.
Thus, the senior elite cultivators all qualified for the next round, and only a very few rookies managed to display outstanding performance with even more powerful battle prowess.
For example, Lu Yang, combined with his pet Demonic Beast, possessed amazing battle prowess. There was also Yang Jun Hao—obviously, this was his first time taking part in the Prodigy Tournament, yet he had the “peak” cultivation of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. They did not allow the mature generation to be the only outstanding people. In addition, there was also Ling Han and that masked man. The vigor of the younger generation was in no way inferior.
The second round of battles concluded, and the third round quickly began right after. This time, Ling Han’s opponent was Lu Yang, ranked second in the Prodigy Roll this year.
Being able to defeat Zhu Xuan Er, someone whom many had expected to be the first place this year, there was of course no need to doubt Lu Yang had powerful battle prowess. However, the person he now faced was Ling Han, whose battle prowess had surpa.s.sed the upper limits that could be calculated in the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. Obviously, he was destined for a tragic ending.
He and his pet Demonic Beast, Frost Clouded Leapard, ascended the stage together and stood unyielding like a mountain.
