Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2234: Chapter 2235: Battle

Though the Spiritual Body sensed something and moved its empty hand, at the moment it touched the spear’s tip, a round hole was burned through its Spiritual Body’s hand.

Immediately, the spear’s tip surged out of that hole, piercing the neck of the Spiritual Body!

With a pop! Even though the spear was thrust in, no blood spurted from the Spiritual Body, but instead, strands of Spiritual Energy dispersed outward.

These strands of Spiritual Energy split into dozens, flowing toward the original Spiritual Bodies in the arena.

As this Spiritual Energy poured in, the already formidable aura of those Spiritual Bodies grew even stronger, and beside them, a long spear stood on the ground.

”Not good! Destroy one, and its power equally divides among the other Spiritual Bodies!”

Seeing this, eyes narrowed, the observers grasped a clue from the commotion and shouted at once.

With this reminder, those who were unclear hesitated no longer. After several people charged forward, they too moved, rushing toward the Spiritual Bodies ahead.

In an instant, the arena was filled with brilliant lights, like blooming colorful fireworks, very beautiful to behold.

But amidst this beauty, many figures were spitting blood from their mouths, revealing a crimson stain.

However, this was of no concern to Kong Jingyi.

He hefted his long spear and slowly walked forward. Without the obstruction of the Spiritual Bodies, his walk was very smooth, reaching the end in no time, standing at the foot of the steps, and began to survey the people on the field from afar.

With no pressure now, he was in no rush at all.

But others were not the same.

Lin Chen was also among them, starting to deal with the Spiritual Body before him. The ancient sword in his hand waved, displaying a dazzling flourish, like waves crashing out, surging with momentum. These were techniques taught by Wang Hao, with Spiritual Energy hidden in the sword, ready to strike at any given opportunity!

Yet the Spiritual Body in front seemed to have discerned Lin Chen’s intentions. It didn’t clash head-on with Lin Chen but instead wielded a long spear in one hand and a longsword in the other, executing grand movements with each weapon. However, each move precisely targeted Lin Chen’s advancing blade, causing his attack to stall, forcing him to retract his sword and search for another opportunity to strike.

”These Spiritual Bodies don’t seem to be as before in the trial grounds, relying merely on sword techniques, and their intelligence appears to be slowly rising?”

Facing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help frowning. The situation was dire. Initially, the Spiritual Body was defensive under Lin Chen’s attacks.

But as time went on, it began to slowly raise its weapon to attack, and within its strikes, momentum rose—an oscillation of Spiritual Energy hidden within its weaponry, causing Lin Chen, through carelessness, some minor injuries.

Lin Chen retreated several steps backward, lightly rubbing his chest to calm his surging breath.

Using this gap, he began to glance at the sides.

On both sides ahead, several figures had already broken through, standing far at the top of the steps, watching the silhouettes still on the field.

Lin Chen pondered, activating his external optic points, scrutinizing the commonalities among those who had passed through.

Upon careful observation, he subtly tensed. Those who had passed, along with Kong Jingyi before them, did not surpass the fifth level of the Spirit Pill realm in their cultivation. This was somewhat peculiar.

Logically, higher cultivation levels would mean facing more advanced Spiritual Bodies, but with cultivation advancement, their comprehension and control of their level should greatly surpass the norm.

Especially Tao Yuyu, who, it is heard, has been immersed in the ninth level of the Spirit Pill realm for some time. His control over Spiritual Energy should greatly surpass others.

Yet observing him now, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He struggled greatly, the Spiritual Energy he exerted was denser, and the Spiritual Body became even more agile. Its momentum and intelligence seemed to ascend alongside the wave of Spiritual Energy from Tao Yuyu, not falling behind at all in the fight.

”Foolish, these Spiritual Bodies need to rely on physical strength and the purest techniques to combat...”

In the distance, Kong Jingyi yawned, watching the battling figures with disinterest.

Like the Spiritual Body he previously faced, if Kong Jingyi hadn’t retracted his Spiritual Energy at the last moment, the final strike might have been dodged.

However, Kong Jingyi wouldn’t easily give reminders, these people in the field held higher cultivation, for him, every person who passed was a potential competitor.

...

And while Lin Chen was entangling with that Spiritual Body, it seemed he also figured out the crucial point.

Every time he activated his Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Body’s eyes glowed with a faint red light. Though weak, it was clearly observed by Lin Chen, who had activated his external optic points.

”Could this trial be testing physical endurance and skills?”

Lin Chen mused, thinking back to the previous outer part of the Wood Spirit Realm, which tested endurance, or in broader terms, the control of Spiritual Energy. Only with such control could one gain more benefits at minimal cost in a Spiritual Energy-sparse Wood Spirit Realm.

So, perhaps here, what was being tested was the body’s capabilities and skills devoid of cultivation.

Lin Chen’s mind raced swiftly, and upon realizing this possibility, he took a deep breath.

Turning his pupils, he angled his sword obliquely, then charged back toward the Spiritual Body!

This charge was similar to before, but the only difference was that the longsword in Lin Chen’s hand lacked the infusion of Spiritual Energy.

Yet, even so, Lin Chen’s sword swipes weren’t slow. During an earlier period, under Wang Hao’s teaching, Lin Chen’s swordsmanship underwent significant enhancement, so much so that even without employing Spiritual Energy now, he did not appear weak.

”Indeed...”

In the situation where Lin Chen didn’t utilize Spiritual Techniques, upon several exchanges, the Spiritual Body slowly became sluggish.

This wasn’t something discovered in one breath but after Lin Chen had battled for several breaths with the Spiritual Body.

As the Spiritual Body’s demeanor grew sluggish, Lin Chen’s expression also relaxed, ensuring him that even should defeated Spiritual Bodies distribute their power to empower those remaining in the arena, he would remain undaunted.

This was not only self-assurance but also a testament to Wang Hao’s sword techniques. After all, it had been his success in several battles, escaping perilous situations.
