Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Humanoid Beast_1

”Yes, Yu Lian is not only beautiful but also strong. She has consecutively defeated Wang Zui and Ling Yixue. If she can defeat Ling Chen as well, she would truly be an exhilarating sight to behold.”

”Hahaha, you can stop being exhilarated. She’s the daughter of the Master of Tianfeng City and the number one beauty. With your status, failing to even make it into the top four, what right do you have to yearn for her attention?”

”Can’t I even fantasize about it in my head?”

”Sure, sure, that’s like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.”

While these two were talking, the battle on the field had already begun.

The martial arts practiced by Shi Yu Lian obviously emphasized suppleness and speed.

Moreover, with her clever tactics and strategic calculations, even if Ling Chen was stronger than this woman, winning wouldn’t be easy.

Ling Xiao smiled. He had already made a basic judgment about the battle.

At the start of the fight, Ling Chen was bound to be at a disadvantage.

But as long as he wasn’t defeated, given time, Shi Yu Lian would probably become exhausted.

Therefore, the initial twenty moves were extremely important.

The battle began, and it indeed developed in the direction he had predicted.

Ling Chen attempted to mimic Shi Yu Lian’s martial skills but failed. Instead, he found himself in a tight spot, almost defeated several times.

Fortunately, his strength was sufficient, and his reactions were quick enough to defuse the crises and avoid an embarrassing defeat.

”Senior Yi Xue, you just exchanged blows with Shi Yu Lian. Did you manage to discern any of her special traits?”

At that moment, Ling Yixue was on the fifth battle platform. Originally Shi Yu Lian’s spot, she now occupied it and no one said anything.

Ling Xiao was on the fourth platform, and they were close enough to speak without issue.

”Very tricky. No matter what move you make, she seems to have a strategy already prepared. The most formidable thing about this woman isn’t her strength, it’s her mind,” responded Ling Yixue.

”Indeed, the art of combat isn’t just about brute force. Merging intelligence with strength makes one even more powerful.”

Ling Xiao nodded, as if speaking to himself, yet it seemed he was also giving Ling Yixue some advice.

Shi Yu Lian was strong, and very smart.

However, she was only at the peak of the Martial Vein Fifth Realm.

Whereas Ling Chen was at the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer Intermediate Stage.

Challenging someone of a higher level wasn’t something everyone could do, especially not when it was more than one level.

After twenty moves, Shi Yu Lian was clearly at a disadvantage, while Ling Chen grew increasingly fierce.

Ling Chen wasn’t stupid either. His battle intelligence was on par with Shi Yu Lian’s.

If not, he would have died long ago during the four years he had been away.

Those who went through life and death experiences were indeed different.

After forty moves, Ling Chen had completely suppressed Shi Yu Lian. He was not only capable of mimicry, for he possessed fragments of two transcendent martial arts.

One was mimicry.

The other was even more formidable.

The mystic art was ”Suppression.”

If his opponent’s cultivation level was lower than his, then the longer the fight lasted, the faster their momentum would weaken. This affected all aspects.

”Surging Wave Fist!”

Finally, at the sixtieth move, Ling Chen used the Surging Wave Fist he had learned from Shi Yue to send Ling Yixue flying out of the arena.

Ling Yixue gracefully descended to the ground, her hair slightly disheveled, but her landing posture remained elegant.

As expected of Tianfeng City’s number one beauty, even in defeat, she lost beautifully.

”As expected, you live up to your reputation as the number one of the younger generation in the Ling Family. Yu Lian is no match and admits defeat graciously!”

Shi Yu Lian took a deep breath to steady her emotions and paid her respects to Ling Chen.

There was no help for it. The gap in cultivation levels was too vast, not something skills and wit could bridge.

Especially when the other’s skills and intelligence were also not lacking.

”Ling Chen!”

”Ling Chen!”

With Ling Chen’s victory over Shi Yu Lian, his popularity surged, especially among the Ling Family’s side. Many disciples started chanting his name.

After all, compared to Ling Xiao, who was an outsider, Ling Chen was a member of the Ling Clan Main Family.

Seeing Ling Xiao’s strength only provoked jealousy and irritation, rather than happiness, among them.

Seeing Ling Chen’s strength, there was a burst of cheers and excitement.

If the Ling Family couldn’t solve this integration issue, the disciples recruited from outside the family would definitely become a great hidden danger to the Ling Clan Main Family in the future.

Ling Chen felt triumphant, his gaze sweeping around before pausing on Ling Xiao’s face for a moment, showing a hint of disdain.

Then, his eyes quickly shifted towards Li Xinghui.

Shi Yu Lian was the champion of the third platform.

And he was the champion of the second platform.

If he was to challenge someone, naturally he would choose Li Xinghui.

”Li Xinghui, do you dare to battle me?”

”Brother Xinghui, teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!”

”Right, Li Xinghui, don’t let this kid be too smug!”

”Defeat him!”

Ling Chen’s previous actions had indeed upset many people, especially those from the Shi Clan, Wang Clan, and Li Clan, who were very displeased.

Li Xinghui slowly stood up, looked at Ling Chen, and his Gang Qi gently released, the pressure inching towards Ling Chen.

”In this Tianfeng City, you’re not the only one who has broken through to the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer!”

Li Xinghui, with a strong desire to fight, looked at Ling Chen.

”Hahaha, Brother Xinghui has been hiding his strength all along!”

”He must have learned some secret technique to hide his cultivation level, this will be interesting.”

”I didn’t expect you to be at the Martial Vein Sixth Middle Stage Realm as well, no wonder you were so calm in the face of my challenge. But no matter, you’re still not my match!”

Ling Chen, still with his hands behind his back, had his clothes fluttering without wind, exuding the aura of a transcendent master.

”Three moves!”

Li Xinghui suddenly declared.

Three moves?

What did that mean?

Could it be that he intended to defeat Ling Chen in just three moves?

That didn’t seem likely, did it?

Upon hearing Li Xinghui’s words, the crowd immediately erupted.

The disciples of the Ling Family were a bit indignant, thinking that Li Xinghui was being far too arrogant.

However, the disciples from the other families were either instigating or shouting; as long as Li Xinghui could defeat Ling Chen, it was fine by them.

”Junior brother, do you think Li Xinghui’s words can be taken seriously?”

Ling Yixue asked Ling Xiao.

”If he dares to say so after watching Ling Chen’s battle, I don’t think he’s bluffing.”

Ling Xiao had always thought Li Xinghui was very strong, and this strength was definitely not just a matter of his realm.

The guy must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter.

Ling Chen might be formidable, but facing Li Xinghui, he really seemed somewhat outclassed.

One could say that Li Xinghui was more like a sixth-level mid-stage Monster Beast, while Ling Chen was at best a martial artist at the intermediate stage of the sixth layer.

Generally speaking, martial artists of the same level can’t defeat Monster Beasts of the same level, let alone a Monster Beast with human intelligence.

”Now that you mention it, I remember that before he was six years old, Li Xinghui was raised by a Monster Beast in the Fulong Mountain Range,” said Shi Yu Lian from the third platform.

”That explains it.”

Ling Xiao had always felt that there was something beastly about Li Xinghui, reminiscent of a dormant Monster Beast. So there was indeed such a secret past.

Ling Chen challenged Li Xinghui.

This pushed the Tianfeng convention to its ultimate climax.

Everyone believed this battle would be the pinnacle of the Tianfeng convention, and once it ended, the convention would conclude as well.

And who would be the first and who would be the second would soon be known.

”Defeat me in three moves? Hahaha, what big talk, I’d really like to see how you intend to defeat me in three moves!”

Ling Chen was brimming with a strong fighting will, feeling that Li Xinghui’s claim was purely meant to disturb his mind, so he didn’t take it to heart at all.
