Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 97: Chapter 98: You Know Nothing About My Student

”No wonder Huang Zhongfei was so thoroughly defeated!”

Watching the tea bowl, everyone couldn’t help but have the same thought.

One must understand that the black and white tea in the bowl was the physical manifestation of True Essence.

In other words, Qi Tianhai’s True Essence was currently surging toward Chen Che like that white tide. The sheer ferocity of it was beyond anyone’s expectations.

However, what no one expected was that Chen Che simply raised a hand and easily suppressed the tide.

”He suppressed it?”

Huang Zhongfei was dumbfounded, subconsciously taking two steps forward.

He had always thought that his strength wasn’t that different from Chen Che’s and that he might still have a chance to catch up...

But it seemed the gap was only growing wider.

WHAP!

Zong Yudao reached out and shoved him aside.

”Don’t block my view!”

Behind the booth, the other spectators also couldn’t help but widen their eyes, their gazes filled with astonishment.

”Yes!”

Watching the livestream, Li Xiaoshuang stared at his phone for a moment before letting out an excited shout.

With his palm against the tea bowl, Chen Che felt a restless energy, as if the thing suppressed beneath his hand was constantly struggling, ready to break free at any moment.

This was the first time he had competed in True Essence against a student from Earth Element Star since taking the Leopard Embryo Elixir. Although he and Qi Tianhai were at the same Realm, his expanded meridians meant the True Essence in his body was far greater than that of other students at the same tier.

”Have you played kung fu tea with Jiang Jingyuan before?”

Chen Che hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit.

’Such immense True Essence! I can’t flip it at all!’

Before the massive bowl, Qi Tianhai’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

He felt as if his True Essence was being pinned down by a mountain. ’How is his True Essence so dense? I’ve played against Late Stage students before, but... it was never like this.’

’This True Essence... it’s probably beyond the Late Stage. It’s almost at the Seventh Layer!’

”I’ve played with him before...”

Hearing Chen Che’s question, Qi Tianhai answered subconsciously. He glanced over, saw his opponent’s relaxed and effortless expression, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath, pouring his True Essence into the giant bowl.

WHOOSH!

Instantly, the white tea on his side broke through the blockade, rising in successive waves and surging forward once more.

”How long has Jiang Jingyuan had his Divine Sense unlocked? Do you know what level it is?”

With a flicker of Chen Che’s True Essence, the black water shot up, forming an indestructible mountain.

The white water crashed against it and was instantly shattered.

CRASH!

CRASH!

CRASH!

He was as still as a mountain; the other was as turbulent as the sea.

No matter how his opponent charged, it was all in vain. In the center of the bowl, the black and white boundary remained unmoved.

’Didn’t Qi Fengzhu say he was only at the Mid-stage Sixth Layer? Did he lie about his Realm?’

Across from him, Qi Tianhai pressed his hand against the massive bowl, holding nothing back. While choosing to launch a fierce assault, he also began searching for a breakthrough. But he could only feel that his opponent’s True Essence was like a wall of bronze and iron—flawless, impenetrable, and insurmountable.

Meanwhile, Huang Zhongfei, Zong Yudao, and Qi Fengzhu were already stunned by the scene, staring blankly at the massive bowl before them.

”It seems he’s been continuously expanding his meridians! With them expanded, his True Essence reserves have already surpassed those of other Cultivators at the same tier.”

Li Xiaoshuang saw the key to it at a glance and was very pleased. ’To easily suppress a student of the same realm, his True Essence reserves must be at least thirty percent greater than his opponent’s!’

”He only unlocked his Divine Sense during the summer vacation of his first year. As for the level, I’m not too sure.”

Chen Che asked, and Qi Tianhai answered. After replying, he couldn’t help but say with some annoyance:

”We’re in the middle of a game! What the hell does Jiang Jingyuan have to do with it?”

”...”

Seeing that his opponent no longer wanted to talk, Chen Che quickly threw out his last question:

”Last question. If he went all out, holding nothing back, how long would it take Jiang Jingyuan to beat you?”

”Four seconds!”

”Got it.”

”What do you mean?”

Qi Tianhai froze.

Then, he saw the black mountain suddenly collapse. In an instant, it was like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, a torrential, unbelievably powerful flood!

”Not good!”

Only then did Qi Tianhai understand what Chen Che meant. The guy was using him as a benchmark to measure the gap between himself and Jiang Jingyuan.

He hadn’t been taken seriously at all.

But no matter how he resisted, he couldn’t withstand the devastating force of the black water.

In just seven seconds.

The massive bowl was completely black.

”Hooo!”

Chen Che let out a breath.

CRACK~

Finger-shaped cracks appeared on the massive bowl. Qi Tianhai’s chest heaved violently, unable to speak a single word.

The scene fell silent.

But the livestream chat exploded, with ”Chen Che is mighty!” flooding the screen.

”You cheated!”

Qi Tianhai refused to accept it, his face flushed red.

”I don’t believe you’re only at the Mid-stage Sixth Layer! You must be in the Late Stage! Your Cultivation is higher than mine, so it’s not a fair win!”

Chen Che said nothing. He just opened his phone, pulled up his personal status panel, and placed it on the table.

[Name: Chen Che]

[Realm: Mid-stage Qi Refining Sixth Layer]

The detailed data from the Micro Crystal Brain was classified, but the records on his phone were not.

Qi Tianhai opened his mouth, but no words came out.

”Yes! Haha! We won!”

Huang Zhongfei was ecstatic, his face red as if he were the one who had defeated Qi Tianhai.

”I’m treating everyone to tea today.”

”Our class president is so generous!”

The students cheered.

”Old Chen, come with us!” Lin Yi called out.

”No thanks, I still have some things to do.”

Chen Che got up and left. He had only come to estimate Jiang Jingyuan’s strength, and now that he had a general idea, it was time to go.

Besides, he had to go back and do his homework.

”I watched the livestream just now. So, were you able to figure out the gap between you and Jiang Jingyuan?”

Just as he walked out of Bifeng Tang, Chen Che got a call from Li Xiaoshuang.

”You already know?”

Chen Che was taken aback.

”Haha, you kept asking about Jiang Jingyuan. I figured it out right away.”

Li Xiaoshuang laughed confidently.

”What surprised me, though, was how high your True Essence reserves are. You completely crushed a student of the same realm. You must have spent the whole winter break at home expanding your meridians without any rest!”

”Expanding your meridians is fine, but don’t neglect your Realm!”

”I know!”

Chen Che didn’t deny it. Having large True Essence reserves was like being pregnant—once you showed it, you couldn’t hide it.

Of course, he didn’t explain that he had concocted the Leopard Embryo Elixir himself.

He gave an objective assessment of Qi Tianhai’s strength, and as he spoke, there was a hint of a sigh in his voice. In First Middle School, Qi Tianhai’s strength would easily place him in the top three of his grade. But at He City Eighth Middle School, he was merely in the top one hundred.

He was in the same category as Xiao Yang, with a chance to challenge the Four Greats.

”Jiang Jingyuan’s strength is a tier above his. The students I’ve marked for the Dangerous Group are all at that level; they could all easily defeat Qi Tianhai.”

Li Xiaoshuang hesitated for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts.

”What do you think your odds are if you run into him at the provincial tournament?”

”People like Jiang Jingyuan have already reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and their Qi and Blood is also quite strong. There’s definitely still a gap between me and students of that caliber.”

After some mental calculation, Chen Che stated his assessment.

Sigh~

Hearing this, Li Xiaoshuang sighed softly.

There was nothing to be done.

Even among geniuses, there were disparities.

”Don’t overthink it, just do your best...”

Just as he was thinking of how to comfort him without crushing his confidence,

Chen Che suddenly changed his tune.

”If we fought now, it’s hard to say. But with more than two months left before the provincial tournament, by then, the odds might be thirty-seventy.”

”You thirty, him seventy?”

”I’m seventy, he’s thirty!”

...

”Little brother, is your student using a cheat engine or something?”

As soon as he hung up, Li Xiaoshuang, who was hiding in the bathroom, heard Li Tingyu’s soft laughter. ”He actually thinks he can achieve a seventy-thirty split against someone of Jiang Jingyuan’s caliber in just over two months. And the key thing is, you actually believed him!”

Li Xiaoshuang felt helpless. A Nascent Soul’s Divine Sense was too powerful; the low-level sound insulation array at home couldn’t block her at all.

”Sis, you know nothing about my student!”

Li Xiaoshuang pulled up his pants and exclaimed indignantly:

”Even if you’re a Nascent Soul Major Cultivator, you can’t use a word like ’cheating’ to erase all my hard work guiding him, or his own diligence and dedication to his Cultivation!”
