Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: All Stunned

Ling Fei’s words made many of the geniuses frown.

He was just a disciple from a Humble Family, yet he was so arrogant, claiming he was afraid he might injure Tie Jun.

This was utter contempt for Tie Jun!

’Is he just relying on that Cold Essence Spirit Body of his?’

Many people, including Huang Wei and others, glared furiously at Ling Fei.

”I, Tie Jun, have already stepped into the Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection Realm. Why would I be afraid of you?” Tie Jun said, fury flaring in his eyes.

”Enough nonsense. Do you dare to fight?” By now, he was clearly enraged, and his tone was no longer as polite as before.

The students ranked in the top ten also narrowed their eyes, staring at Ling Fei.

At this moment, they were also eager to see if this young man truly had the skills to back up his words, or if he was just a frog in a well.

’This young man... he’s actually this confident?’ Even Instructor Ruo Huan was taken aback, looking at Ling Fei with a face full of curiosity.

”If you want to spar, then let’s do it,” Ling Fei said with a shrug, seeing how agitated Tie Jun was.

But his casual demeanor made Tie Jun and the other geniuses gnash their teeth in frustration.

”This Ling Fei... is so arrogant!” many people muttered.

”If you please!” Tie Jun stepped out from his seat, extended a hand toward Ling Fei, and gestured to a Martial Arts Testing Platform in the Martial Hall.

”After you,” Ling Fei replied, also extending his hand.

Then, they walked toward that Martial Arts Platform together.

The Genius Class’s Martial Hall contained not only a Martial Arts Testing Platform, but also a Training Ground and a Testing Field.

It was very spacious.

As Ling Fei and Tie Jun walked toward the Martial Arts Platform, the other students followed.

Instructor Ruo Huan followed as well, her expression filled with a hint of anticipation.

Tie Jun and Ling Fei ascended the steps onto the Martial Arts Testing Platform.

”My Tie Clan ancestor possessed the Five Elements Gold Spirit Body. Although I only have a Half-Spirit Body, I can still draw upon Gold Essence Qi to temper my own. Now, my body is like metal, incomparably hard, and my strength has reached nine thousand jin. If I go all out, the Power I can unleash is even greater.”

Tie Jun said to Ling Fei with a smug look after stepping onto the platform.

”Didn’t you want to spar?” On the Martial Arts Testing Platform, Ling Fei rolled his eyes and said, ”Since this is a spar, why are you spouting so much nonsense?”

He found it baffling.

’Is this guy just showing off by saying all that?’

”You...” Tie Jun was furious. ”Fine, I’ll show you what I’m capable of.”

As his words fell, his gaze sharpened, and a power began to build within his body.

He stood there like an iron spear, giving off an immovable aura.

But Ling Fei remained completely nonchalant.

”Student Ling Fei, remember, this is just a spar. You have to hold back!”

Seeing Ling Fei’s nonchalant expression, Instructor Ruo Huan suddenly remembered something and quickly spoke up.

However, as her words fell, the other students rolled their eyes.

’They haven’t even started sparring, and Instructor Ruo Huan is already telling Ling Fei to hold back. Is she indirectly saying that Tie Jun is sure to lose?’

Instructor Ruo Huan paid no mind to the students’ expressions. Instead, she stared intently at Ling Fei on the Martial Arts Testing Platform before them.

A trace of nervousness could be seen in her eyes.

Because she recalled the information she had received.

This Ling Fei was no ordinary Cultivator at the Nine Layers of Body Tempering!

’Perhaps... Tie Jun really will lose!’

”Of course I’ll hold back,” Ling Fei replied from the Martial Arts Testing Platform.

He knew that Instructor Ruo Huan had likely given him a special reminder because she was afraid his Cold Qi might injure a fellow student.

’But did he even need to use his Cold Qi to deal with this Tie Jun?’

At least, Ling Fei had no such intention at the moment.

”Golden Saber Hand!” On the Martial Arts Testing Platform, Tie Jun’s gaze sharpened, and he suddenly let out a low roar.

Then, he took a large stride forward, launching an attack at Ling Fei.

WHOOSH!

The moment he stepped forward, his right hand chopped toward Ling Fei like a blade.

True Qi gathered in his palm, and the force of the chop made the air whistle.

If one looked closely, Tie Jun’s palm was glowing with a faint golden luster.

As someone with a Half-Spirit Body who had tempered himself with Gold Essence Qi, the strength of his body had long surpassed that of other Cultivators in the Nine Layers of Body Tempering.

This single palm-blade strike was powerful enough to shatter a sharp sword.

That was why Tie Jun was so confident.

’At the same Realm, if an ordinary person tried to clash head-on with Tie Jun, it would be suicide. Only someone with powerful Martial Arts or a special constitution could manage it.’

Below the platform, the eyes of several genius disciples sharpened, and faint smiles appeared on their lips.

’The Cold Essence Spirit Body has icy True Qi, but its Attack Power should be average. Now, we’ll see just how strong Ling Fei’s Cold Qi is.’

A glint flashed in Huang Wei’s eyes as he spoke, his arms crossed over his chest.

Many of the geniuses were full of confidence in Tie Jun.

After all, he was a disciple from a major clan at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering.

How could a country bumpkin from a remote little town possibly contend with a disciple from a major clan?

Disciples from major clans received guidance from experts and had access to High Level Martial Arts!

At this moment, on the Martial Arts Testing Platform, Ling Fei still appeared completely nonchalant.

’Body Refining with Gold Essence Qi, making the body like metal!’ He narrowed his eyes, sensing Tie Jun’s aura.

With a single glance, he could tell that Tie Jun’s body was indeed very strong. It was so sharp and fierce, truly like a sharp blade, like a Golden Essence Hand.

He certainly had a considerable advantage.

But...

how could Ling Fei be compared to an ordinary Cultivator?

”Good. This is a perfect chance to test just how strong my body really is,” Ling Fei muttered, his gaze sharpening.

Thus, when Tie Jun’s large hand chopped down like a blade, not only did Ling Fei not dodge, but he actually took a step forward.

”Ling Fei is moving.” At that, many people in the crowd tensed up.

Then, they saw Ling Fei make his move.

He didn’t use any other stances or techniques to counter Tie Jun’s strike.

Instead, he clenched his hand into a fist and met Tie Jun’s palm-blade head-on.

This was a direct confrontation.

Only by doing this could Ling Fei display his dominance.

’Is this guy going to meet it head-on?’ Seeing this, the eyes of the crowd sharpened.

A head-on clash...

It was definitely an unwise decision.

Because Tie Jun’s hand was like a blade, far too hard. Clashing head-on would surely result in a jarring impact.

At that point, one’s momentum would be disrupted. Even if their True Qi was evenly matched, it would lead to a disadvantage in the exchange.

”You’re courting death!” Seeing this, a cold sneer formed on Tie Jun’s lips.

KLANG!

And at that very moment, his palm-blade struck Ling Fei’s oncoming fist.

Then, the sound of striking metal rang out.

The sound was incredibly crisp, and as it spread, everyone below the platform held their breath.

’Will Ling Fei’s fist be split open?’ someone wondered.

Even the girls, like Zhou Qingshui, were worried for Ling Fei.

But when the fist and palm met, the smile on Tie Jun’s lips immediately froze.

He felt as if his hand had struck a tough Profound Soldier.

Then, an immense force surged from the other’s fist.

The immense force made his body tremble and sent him stumbling backward.

Even the Golden True Qi surging from his palm was shattered, flowing backward through his veins.

THUD! THUD!

Tie Jun stumbled back again and again, his feet making heavy thuds as they landed on the Martial Arts Testing Platform.

PTHOO!

Then, everyone saw Tie Jun’s face flush red as a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from the corner of his mouth.

”This...” This scene left everyone in the crowd completely stunned.

Every one of these genius students had a look of utter disbelief in their eyes.

’They only just clashed, and Tie Jun was already sent flying and spat up blood?’

That was a clear sign of internal injury!
