C42 (1/2)

Cao Fei's spirit energy formed a ten feet long sword image above Di Chen's head, Cao Fei used his right hand to slash, following Cao Fei's movements, the sword image whistled down.

”Sword Martial Spirit,” Di Chen said with a grave expression on his face. Sword Martial Spirit was usually the most injurious of the artifact martial soul.

The power of his words surged out, the word 'cut' struck the sword projection like a sharp blade, the two clashed together, the sword and blade both collapsed at the same time, a wave of ripples spreading out, Di Chen was pushed back a few steps, while Cao Fei was flipped over and smashed heavily onto the ground, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

When Cao Fei landed on the ground, it proved that he had completely lost to Di Chen!

”Impossible,” Cao Fei said as he looked at Di Chen in disbelief. His Sword Martial Spirit was a descendant of the Cao family, but he was actually unable to defeat someone at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm?

Seeing this scene, the spectators were all amazed.

”This guy is so powerful, but why haven't I seen any Yuan Li undulations from him?”

”That's right. Fighters use elemental energy as their foundation. The martial arts this man is using is so powerful, but the elemental energy doesn't fluctuate at all. What's going on?”

No elemental energy, no martial arts!

All the martial arts of a warrior were executed using elemental energy. However, Di Chen had such a strong battle and there was no movement of elemental energy in his body, which made everyone curious.

Shang Yu walked over and asked with a pained heart: ”Big Brother Di Chen, are you hurt?”

”Let me see,” Qin Suer said as she grabbed Di Chen's wrist and checked his pulse. Then she said: ”This Cao Fei is indeed powerful, his meridians are damaged, but he is fine.

Hearing this, Shang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, then fiercely looked at Cao Fei and wanted to attack him.

Di Chen pulled Shang Yu back, and laughed: ”Forget it, let's go.”

If it was before, Di Chen would definitely kill people, he had always been decisive in killing, but this time, after all, Shang Yu was the one who wasn't kind.

”Don't leave,” Cao Fei was unwilling, he still wanted to attack, but just as he moved, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His body couldn't move at all, and could only watch as the other party left.

There were two old men on the seventh floor of the Universe Pavilion. One of them had a head full of white hair, old like a dragon, and his hands were tied behind his back, this person was the Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Mu Zhongli. Beside Mu Zhongli was a black-haired old man wearing a robe, giving off a feeling of might without getting angry, and this person was the Vice Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Liang Xinghe.

Mu Zhongli curiously looked at Di Chen's back figure and smiled: ”This Martial Region Continent is indeed talented. Xinghe, did you see what technique he used just now?”

Liang Xinghe stared at Di Chen for a while and said: ”Just now, his body did not have a trace of spirit energy, but each and every attack was extremely powerful, so I presume that what he used was not spirit energy, but a literati?”

If one practiced martial arts, then there would be elemental energy in the body. If one practiced literati, then there would be another power in the body but this power could not be seen or felt. If it were not for literati, it would be impossible to see through.

However, in the entire Martial Region Continent, there were very few people, and it was incredibly difficult to become a saint with knowledge. Even Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli had not seen many of them.

”I can see that his body is thin and weak, that's why he cultivates the arts in such a way. He is definitely a martial artist, he is a literati.”

When Mu Zhongli said this, his face was full of doubt, ”Most of the cultivators who practice literature will be participating in science and technology, but this guy is obviously here to participate in Sky Realm Academy's assessment at this time. A literati will even participate in our academy's assessment?”

Liang Xinghe thought for a while, ”The Imperial examinations just ended, and the Flame Emperor has already made his announcement. I think that this guy must have failed the examinations, which is why he is here to take the Sky Realm Academy examination.”

Mu Zhongli shook his head. ”Look at his strength. He must be someone with literary talent. This kind of person should not have failed the examinations. Perhaps he is a scholar, but he has never thought of taking the Imperial Examinations.”

However, there were some people who were born with no attainments in martial arts, so these people could only study. Normally, the scholars would choose to take part in the Imperial examinations to rise above the rest, and this was their only way out for them. There were many scholars in Martial Region Continent, but not many of them were able to turn into martial artists.

There was a huge difference between a literati and a scholar. Scholars might have literary talents, but they might not have strength, and literati had not only literary talents, but they also had the ability to use writing as a martial skill, and the brush as a sword, as well as the language.

Since Di Chen was a literati, it naturally showed that he was talented. How could such a person fail the rankings?

Liang Xinghe laughed: ”He is an interesting fellow, I wonder what kind of relationship he has with Shang Yu. Shang Yu, this girl, is as cold as ice and frost, yet she is so sticky, like a completely different person compared to before. If those people from the academy who admire Shang Yu were to see her, I wonder what they would think.”
