Chapter 88: Letter

When Su Chen finished his test, everyone sighed.

A result of twenty-three Yellow Stars was enough to blind large numbers of people.

This was already the second layer of Qi Drawing!

Two Origin Qi Scholars were more than enough to significantly increase interest in this year’s end-of-year competition. At the same time, all of the suspense rested on Su Chen’s and Su Qian’s shoulders/

As for Su Tong, he could only helplessly give up this competition. In the end, the Su Clan’s reforms seemed like a farce. After going back and forth, they had in the end returned to the original setup.

Standing on the battle stage, Su Qian watched Su Chen as he said darkly, “Father was correct. You indeed became an Origin Qi Scholar a long time ago. This must be the reason why you dared enter the Scarlet Mountain Range, right?”

“If you want to understand it like that, that’s fine,” Su Chen indifferently replied.

“So what if you are in the second layer of Qi Drawing? In order to hide this fact, you have only been focusing on raising your cultivation base instead of practicing your Origin Skills. This method neglects the fundamentals and focuses on the details. Without Origin Skills, it’s useless just having the cultivation base of an Origin Qi Scholar!” Su Qian cursed.

It wasn’t his fault for thinking this. If Su Chen wanted to learn Origin Skills, he definitely needed to obtain them from the Su Clan. However, until today, the Su Clan did not have any records that Su Chen had requested any Origin Skills.

In other words, he believed that Su Chen did not control any Origin Skills.

In order to conceal his strength, he hadn’t learned any Origin Skills. This truly was somewhat idiotic, which was why Su Qian would say this to him.

Unlike Su Chen, his time in battle in the Treasure Light Illusion Realm was just like learning a kind of Origin Skill.

This was why Su Keji was so self-confident in his bet with Su Feihu.

For the same reason, standing in front of Su Chen, Su Qian was unspeakably confident.

At this moment, his entire figure shook. His body suddenly released a majestic aura.

This aura seemed to be physical and began to spread, actually causing the nearby people to feel a vicious, demonic Qi.

Su Qian laughed. “See, this is my Illusory Demonic Killing Aura. It is formed from my killing of three hundred and eight demonic illusions in the first level of the Treasure Light Illusion Realm. I prepared this gift specifically for you!”

As he spoke, he struck out with his arm.

Illusory Demonic Killing Aura was a quite exceptional Origin Skill. In terms of quality, it was higher than any of the ones that Su Chen had learned.

As soon as this killing aura was activated, it could stick to one’s body and serve as a shield and had a slight attacking power as well. It could also be added to weapons and body parts, greatly increasing their strength. If one cultivated them to a high level, a strong killing wind could arise just from raising one’s hands. The wind would appear to be sweeping across everything under the son. Its power was many times stronger than the fireball.

Of course, Su Qian had not reached this stage yet, but this didn’t stop him from being extremely satisfied with his Illusory Demonic Killing Aura.

The killing intent wrapped itself around Su Qian’s arm, looking like a thin black snake had wrapped itself around his arm countless times. It slammed down towards Su Chen.

Upon seeing him attack, Su Chen sighed, “Perhaps you were waiting for this day the entire time, but I never once viewed you as my opponent.”

He closed his eyes, clasping his hands, then stepped backwards. This step was like smoke, and he dodged Su Qian’s attack.

Su Qian’s attack had failed, and he attacked multiple times. Su Chen did not counterattack, instead dodging left and right. If he couldn’t dodge it, he would use his arms to resist the attacks. He only defended and didn’t attack. Moreover, he had not opened his eyes from start to finish.

If it were anyone else, they would have reckoned that Su Chen was humiliating them, but Su Qian did not know that Su Chen had regained his sight and would not think this way. He only focused on sending out attack after attack.

On the battle stage, two people moved and shifted about, coming and going instantly like the wind.

Su Qian’s attacks were like a tigers, but he couldn’t land a blow on Su Chen. His strength and force could not be displayed, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

The spectators below were all extremely anxious. Occasionally, Su Qian’s fist would just brush past Su Chen, and everyone would gasp in surprise.

There were some who thought it a great pity, there were some who sighed and rejoiced, and even more there were those who yelled loudly because of the commotion. Everyone’s thoughts were different.

However, everyone simultaneously began to realize that Su Qian’s speed had seemingly slowed down significantly.

For some unknown reason, every time Su Qian struck out, the gap between his strikes seemingly increased. To put it euphemistically, his strikes had become more stable, but negatively speaking some said that his attacks only had strength but no speed. No wonder Su Chen, who was blind, could dodge them simply by listening to the wind.
