Ascending to Godhood: I Can Foresee All Futures

Chapter 250: Chapter 150: The Great Battle Ends, Aid My Cultivation

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

At this moment, a terrifying silence fell before Luoyun Manor.

It was as if time itself had frozen solid.

Hundreds of gazes fixed upon Chen Sheng, who hovered in the air. Shock and disbelief were etched on every face.

No one could have imagined the battle would be so... clean and decisive!

After all.

Li Xuance was the Chief True Inheritor of the Iron Sword Sect, a top-tier genius ranked fifth among the Ning’an Ten Heroes. He could even be called one of the most outstanding young prodigies in Ning’an Prefecture below the Profound Gang Realm.

The few ranked above him were nearly all powerhouses in the Profound Gang Realm, or at least rumored to be on the verge of breaking through.

Without a doubt, Li Xuance’s strength was unquestionable.

Yet, despite being so formidable, he had been grievously wounded and knocked unconscious by a single strike from Chen Sheng. He couldn’t even withstand a second blow. How could such a scene not be shocking?

After all, before they clashed, no one had anticipated this outcome.

Not long ago, Li Xuance had personally gone to the Jingwu Bureau to challenge Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng had declined, citing that he was in seclusion. At the time, many believed Chen Sheng was too afraid to fight.

That he didn’t dare to face Li Xuance.

But looking at it now...

’His refusal wasn’t out of fear at all.’

’He clearly never even saw Li Xuance as a worthy opponent!’

And while the three-strike agreement had made many think Chen Sheng might have some confidence, no one had considered *this* possibility. In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere froze.

The world went black for Lu Maozhi, and he nearly fainted himself.

His eyes stared at Chen Sheng, filled with awe and terror, and even a hint of lingering fear.

’Even Li Xuance couldn’t block that strike and ended up on the verge of death. If that had been me... wouldn’t I have been utterly destroyed in an instant?’

Fear sprouted uncontrollably in Lu Maozhi’s heart.

As for Manor Master Lu Canghai of Luoyun Manor, his expression was now utterly grim.

He had only accepted the challenge because he was certain Chen Sheng couldn’t defeat Li Xuance within three strikes. Then, he could use that as a pretext to make Chen Sheng pay and conveniently reclaim his own honor.

But now.....

Li Xuance had lost.

And with hundreds of people watching, he couldn’t find any excuse to cause trouble, even if he wanted to. After all, before the fight, everyone had seen that Luoyun Manor’s side had the higher chance of winning.

If he went back on his word now, he would only be utterly humiliated.

Thus, despite being furious to the point of exploding, he couldn’t bring himself to make a scene.

Meanwhile, the Iron Sword Sect elder’s face paled. He rushed forward to check Li Xuance’s injuries. Only after confirming that his foundation wasn’t damaged did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But he couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.

’I shouldn’t have been so greedy for that little benefit!’

After all, Li Xuance was the face of the Iron Sword Sect.

Previously, when the Jingwu Bureau had challenged them at their own gates, the Iron Sword Sect had lost face in Ning’an Prefecture. But with a top genius like Li Xuance to hold down the fort, they could still make excuses.

But now, how could they possibly spin this?

Li Xuance, the dignified Chief of the Iron Sword Sect, a peak Earth Fiend whose Cultivation was even a step above Chen Sheng’s, couldn’t even block a single strike from an opponent of the same realm.

When this news spread, the Iron Sword Sect would lose just as much face as Luoyun Manor.

This time, it was truly a devastating loss.

Wang Zilan, however, watched Chen Sheng with a brilliant light in her eyes. Her heart pounded, and she even felt a dampness spread, her legs instinctively clenching together.

She had always been attracted to strength. Now, seeing Chen Sheng display such terrifying power, all her previous worries vanished, replaced by a profound sense of security.

’I didn’t bet on the wrong person.’

’With this battle, even the family will have to seriously reconsider things.’

And just as Wang Zilan thought, Wangqingshan was indeed starting to re-evaluate the matter.

The power Chen Sheng had displayed far surpassed the Earth Fiend Realm, perhaps even reaching the level of the Profound Gang Realm. Such strength was more than enough to shine brightly on Wushan Mountain.

If they could get Chen Sheng’s help then, the Wang Family might not gain much, but it would surely be enough to secure their current position.

For the moment, he could no longer be bothered by the shame Wang Zilan’s actions had brought upon the Wang Family.

He even decided that once today’s events were concluded, he would send someone to the Jingwu Bureau.

Of course, if Chen Sheng had not fought well in this battle, the outcome would have been entirely different. Not only would Wang Zilan have been expelled from the family, but even Chen Sheng would have been targeted.

Nie Xuanfeng, on the other hand, was not overly stunned. Although somewhat shocked, he remained composed. After all, even before Chen Sheng had acted, he had faintly suspected that his friend had a trump card.

Otherwise, knowing Chen Sheng, he never would have so rashly proposed a three-strike agreement.

As for Sun Yuzhi, she gave Chen Sheng a long, hard look, a glint in her eyes revealing nothing of her thoughts.

”Manor Master Lu, what say you? Shall we wake Li and continue the fight?”

Chen Sheng’s gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling on Lu Canghai, breaking the surrounding silence.

The Iron Sword Sect elder instantly grew anxious and shot a look at Lu Canghai.

He was terrified the man would agree.

If that happened, Li Xuance would truly die.

’I absolutely will not allow it.’

Lu Canghai naturally understood this as well. His gaze fell coldly upon Chen Sheng.

”That won’t be necessary. Since Nephew Li has lost, this old man has nothing more to say.”
