Chapter 332 The Stone Coffin Opens

“This is a battle of Chosen? Terrifying!” Seeing those four fighting so intensely, all the other disciples were shaken .

“Let’s not talk about power; just this attack speed is already enough to make it impossible for me to even react!”

The four of them were so fast they were practically illusory in their eyes . Sometimes they would clearly see someone get struck, which should have caused heavy injuries, if not death . But then they would suddenly realize that it was just an afterimage . They were far too fast .

Even just watching, they were completely unable to react to anything . If they were to fight, just how were they supposed to do anything in such a high-speed battle?

Only a few powerful Favored knew that this level of battle was something that was practically fought by instinct .

The brain was unable to react in such a short time . There was no way to make precise judgements, because by the time you decided on what to do, the attack would already have landed on you .

Favored also had to go through this kind of training, because they could also one day reach the Chosen level .

The best way for them to increase their combat ability was through battle . Through constant battle, they would pile up their battle experience .

They wouldn’t just fight with people in the same realm . Sometimes their sect elders would also personally go exchange blows with them to give them more experience .

That allowed them to be able to instinctively react in the first moment no matter what kind of attack it was . They could instantly use the most direct, most effective counterattack almost instantly .

The reason Chosen were strong was not just because of their great talent or their undefeatable will . The most important thing was how much effort and grooming their sects had given them .

The effort that was piled into Chosen by their sectsallowed them to release a brilliance that dazzled others . But that brilliance wasn’t so easy to maintain .

Once that brilliance was broken, it would be a devastating blow to their Dao-hearts . That was why Chosen could not be allowed to be defeated, especially not to other Chosen who were supposed to be on the same level as them .

The reason Jiang Yifan hated Long Chen so much was because his defeat to him had created an obstruction in his Dao-heart .

If he couldn’t personally kill Long Chen, that would form a heart-devil, and he would never be able to step into the Bone Forging realm .

If Long Chen had at least had the t.i.tle of a Chosen, then he would feel a bit better, and the impact wouldn’t have been so grave .

As for Yin Luo, although his leg had been cut off by Long Chen, Yin Luo’s Dao-heart was more stable, and furthermore, he had lost due to both Long Chen and Mo Nian cooperating . That didn’t impact his Dao-heart .

Chosen had to maintain an undefeated record . If they lost to someone known to be stronger than them, that was one thing . But against geniuses on the same level as them, they had to be extremely cautious, and wouldn’t easily take action .

To the core disciples and Favored here, Chosen seemed to rarely fight . That was why they were completely focused on this battle, hoping to perhaps comprehend something from their battle that would help them .

However, the core disciples were all completely dazzled by their fight, and they weren’t even able to clearly see the exchanges, let alone comprehend anything .

Only the powerful Favored were able to actually gain some insights from their battle .

However, as they watched, their expressions changed . They realized Long Chen’s fighting manner had no set style or pattern .

Their sect elders had already solemnly warned them that when two people’s strengths were on relatively the same level, the winner would be the one who managed to find their opponent’s weak point .

In order to find their weak point, you would need to grasp their fighting method and rhythm . Only by creating an opening where no opening existed could you defeat your opponent .

It was like playing chess . If both players were experts, then it was impossible to defeat your opponent in just a few moves .

You needed to understand your opponent’s patterns and then come up with a strategy in accordance to their habits . You had to lead them step by step into a trap, and then take their life in one blow .

That was why the main things the powerful Favored were focused on was the four people’s fighting styles and rhythms .

Although they were extremely fast, the powerful Favored were still able to clearly see each exchange .

And it was because they could see their fight clearly that they were so incredibly shocked . All of them were stupefied by Long Chen’s unrestrained fighting style .

The three Chosen were fast, ruthless, and their patterns weren’t obvious . They had clearly gone through special training in order to conceal their attack patterns .

But although they hid them extremely well, and there didn’t look to be any openings, these powerful Favored were able to see some hints of spots to take advantage of, whether it was in their stability, agility, or ruthlessness .

However, Long Chen’s fighting style was extremely irritating to the three of them . He simply had no set style .

As he brandished his saber, he would sometimes act like a proud and aloof saber master, attacking and defending precisely in a skillful and decisive manner that had no openings .

Then he would suddenly switch to using his saber like a sword, attacking with the agility and quickness of a sword master, elegant and graceful .
