Chapter 1536 - The Fight Between the Heir and the Priest (1/2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Wu Hao’s eyes were gleaming, gazing at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing across from him.

Zhang Ruochen had no intention of fighting him at all. He’d been low-key ever since he came back from the Merits Battlefield, as he didn’t want conflicts like this.

He wasn’t born and raised in Guanghan Field, so the more glorious he was, the less useful the monks from Guanghan Field would look.

Su Qingling didn’t know why Wu Hao wanted to challenge Zhang Ruochen. She naively believed that it was just a game between two friends. She was suddenly hyped and said, “Fantastic! Both the heir and the priest are top-tier talents. A fight between you two is going to be spectacular.”

Wu Hao stood up, spread his arms, and made a thunder-like sound. He laughed, “Please don’t overthink it, priest. We’re just playing around, and no matter who wins, our friends.h.i.+p is the most important.”

Mu Lingxi saw through Wu Hao, who actually wanted to challenge Zhang Ruochen.

No matter who won, it would end badly for Zhang Ruochen.

If Zhang Ruochen was defeated by Wu Hao, everyone would say Zhang Ruochen was so mighty because he’d used other powers, and his strength wasn’t at a top-tier level yet.

If Zhang Ruochen defeated Wu Hao, which meant an outsider defeated the greatest saint in Guanghan Field… What would the monks from Guanghan Field think about that? Zhang Ruochen would be elbowed out at least to some extent in Guanghan Field.

Mu Lingxi wanted to see neither of the cases.

Mu Lingxi said, “If the heir just wants you to practice rules of truth, how about having a fight against me?”

“Fairy Lingxi, your cultivation indeed surged after being taught by Moon G.o.ddess, but I’m worried that you can’t handle the power of rules of truth. If I harm you, then I’ll offend the priest.” Wu Hao smiled.

After getting the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, Mu Lingxi obtained Sub-Complete Body Const.i.tution, which was only slighty weaker than Wu Hao’s Complete Body Const.i.tution. And besides, she had the power of Pluto Ice and the Moon G.o.ddess as her teacher. Chances are, she was Wu Hao’s rival.

However, Wu Hao still thought of her being way weaker than him.

Just before Mu Lingxi wanted to say something, Zhang Ruochen stopped him. “If you really want to practice rules of truth, then I’ll happily exchange moves.”

“Okay then. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Wu Hao guffawed and walked out of the palace.

Wen Shusheng and Ling Mi exchanged eye contact and shook their heads, as they knew that their friends.h.i.+p would break down if they fought.

Mu Lingxi grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s wrist and said, “Let me fight him for you!”

“No need. I can’t avoid this fight. Just go ask the half saints from Sacred Central Empire to leave first.”

Zhang Ruochen looked calm and walked out of the palace.

Both Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao were standing under the statue of Supreme Saint Manjian. They were three hundred feet away from each other, and power saint might gushed out of their bodies, making cracking sounds.

“Aren’t you going to use your sword, priest?” Wu Hao shouted.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I’m just as good at palm way as at sword way.”

“Really? I’m also very proficient in palm way.”

Wu Hao was wearing a pair of battle boots. After taking a step, a fiery cloud emerged under his feet. At the next moment, his body dimmed and showed up right in front of Zhang Ruochen.

He was faster than some of the first-step saint kings.

Wu Hao opened his hand, and a large handprint was formed where six fiery snakes flowed around with sparks.

“What a Flame Jing Palm… The heir might’ve refined palm techniques to perfection.”

Su Qingling’s eyes popped.

As for Mu Lingxi, she frowned, as she was worried about Zhang Ruochen.

She wasn’t worried that Zhang Ruochen would be defeated, and she was sure that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t use all his power. Even if he was going to defeat Wu Hao, he wouldn’t crush him completely.

However, would Zhang Ruochen get injured by Wu Hao if he didn’t spare any effort?

Flame Jing Palm was one of the top-tier low-level saint spells.

Flame Jing Palm in its prime could rival half the power of a mid-level saint spell.

Mid-level saint spells were way stronger than low-level saint spells. The gap between them was like that between ten-thousand-patterns saint weapons and thousand-patterns saint weapons.

It was difficult to both practice mid-level saint spells and perform mid-level saint spells. It would usually take a first-step saint king decades to finish refining a mid-level saint spell.

Mid-level saint spells not only required the saint power from saint kings, but also saintly way rules that were successfully integrated with the spells themselves. The more saintly way rules there were in a mid-level saint spell, the stronger it would be.

Even the weakest mid-level saint spells required ten saintly way rules.

There were only two sword way rules in Zhang Ruochen’s body, so he wasn’t able to perform any mid-level saint spell.

For example, the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm was a mid-level saint spell. Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to practice it until he became a half-step, or even a first-step saint king.

Flame Jing Palm that Wu Hao performed could rival half the power of a mid-level saint spell.
