Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: On the Great Lake

Jiang Jingyuan, Lin Yao, and Inspector Fu were eliminated!

Defeating one of them would have been one thing, but he’d actually beaten all three. And they had been almost powerless to fight back—something no one could have ever imagined.

”Get him a drug test! He’s either on pills or he’s been juicing...”

Weng Dazheng roared, beside himself with fury.

A commotion swept through the waiting area, and he wasn’t the only one.

The teachers of the other two students also had ashen faces. It wasn’t that they were unwilling to accept defeat, but that this scene was so utterly unbelievable it defied all comprehension.

’If I had that kind of power, how could I have possibly been eliminated?’

The examinees who had been eliminated early but hadn’t left yet were now staring, dumbfounded. When they came to their senses, they felt their blood boil with excitement, their hearts filled with yearning.

Li Xiaoshuang clutched his thermos, his expression grave.

The threat was not over. The battle was not yet finished.

Because there were still over forty examinees left on the great lake. To them, no matter how strong Chen Che was, he was still just one person. Besides, they didn’t need to face him head-on; they just had to snatch the Jade Talisman.

If he couldn’t protect the Jade Talisman, all his efforts would be for nothing.

Just as that thought crossed their minds, the stalled battle erupted once more.

An examinee took a sudden step forward.

He was also using the Clear Wind Technique, though he wasn’t as skilled with it as Jiang Jingyuan. Still, he crossed the hundred-zhang distance in less than a breath’s time. He had no intention of clashing with Chen Che; his target was clearly the Jade Talisman.

WHOOSH! But when he was less than three meters from the Jade Talisman, his vision blurred.

Chen Che, who had been standing in place, suddenly shot forward on a gale of wind, his knee rocketing upward like a cannon.

CRACK!

In that instant.

The examinee flipped 180 degrees like a salted fish in a frying pan and went flying backward. He vanished into a flash of white light in mid-air. His strength was far inferior to Jiang Jingyuan’s; at best, he was only slightly stronger than Xiao Yang.

How could he possibly withstand a strike from Chen Che that was powered by his Qi and Blood pushed to the absolute limit?

After all.

Chen Che’s Qi and Blood Level had already reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer (89.7%), putting him at least one entire Layer ahead of these students!

After that knee strike, his figure flashed. THUD! THUD! In the blink of an eye, two more examinees who had gotten close to the Jade Talisman were sent flying. They crashed into the lake thirty or forty meters away with two loud SPLASHES, leaving behind only the shimmering of white light.

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

While stopping those two, Chen Che had simultaneously beaten back seven or eight other examinees in the same instant.

For a moment, the surface of the lake churned with violent waves, as if a Flood Dragon were dancing within, stirring up a storm of blood!

”I propose we stop going for the Jade Talisman and deal with Chen Che first! As long as he’s still here, we’ll never get it!”

One of the examinees had realized that Chen Che was deliberately not pocketing the Jade Talisman in order to divide the pressure on himself.

After all.

If the Jade Talisman was on his person, everyone would have no choice but to focus their fire on Chen Che alone. But by leaving it on the lake’s surface, he could divert the attention of at least half the examinees.

”Great suggestion. Next time, keep it to yourself!”

Chen Che looked up, his eyes locking onto the examinee who had shouted. With a flick of his fingers, the Flying Swords left behind by several eliminated examinees shot out of the lake with a WHOOSH. He waved his hand, and they flew like a volley of Crossbow Arrows.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The swords pierced through the speaker’s body and continued onward, blasting through several more examinees in a row.

Only when their True Essence was depleted did the Flying Swords finally stab into the ground outside the lake, their blades humming.

However.

The suggestion had made everyone else come to a realization.

”Attack together!”

With that shout, the numerous examinees rapidly gathered their True Essence.

Instantly, a sky full of Magic, Talismans, and Flying Swords rained down on Chen Che from all directions. Over thirty or forty students attacked in unison. In a flash, it was like a bombardment from dozens of cannons, completely blanketing the water in a radius of several dozen meters around Chen Che.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions rang out one after another. The entire lake was thrown into chaos, its bed riddled with cracks.

The assault continued for a full three minutes!

”What a shame!”

”Yeah! If he hadn’t been so arrogant, trying to fight everyone at once, he definitely would have advanced!”

An uproar broke out in the waiting area.

Attacked by so many people at once, no matter how powerful Chen Che was, there was no way he could have withstood it. Weng Dazheng clenched his fists in indignation, a look of glee in his eyes. ’You eliminated my student, and now you’ve been eliminated too!’

Li Xiaoshuang’s body was tense as he stared fixedly at the screen, desperate to know the outcome.

But the arena was shrouded in a cloud of dust and spray, making it impossible to see. He cast a pleading gaze toward the sky.

Li Tingyu seemed to sense his gaze but offered no response.

”Hell yeah!”

”Fuck, we got him!”

At the same time.

The students on the lake burst into wild cheers. Though they were all panting from exhaustion, every face was alight with excitement. An opponent like that was simply too terrifying; fighting him one-on-one, they wouldn’t have stood a chance.

But.

It was finally over.

Or so they thought—the notion was shattered the instant it formed.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled.

A Long Spear shot out, instantly tearing through the dense clouds of spray and dust. To everyone’s utter disbelief, the spear continued onward without losing momentum, blasting through the bodies of three students and skewering them together like candied fruit on a stick.

The remaining examinees stared blankly, their gazes fixed ahead.

As the dust and spray dissipated, the scene before them was revealed. Chen Che was still standing there, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. His T-shirt had been blasted to dust, and half of his special-issue uniform pants were gone, exposing his leg below the knee.

His regulation-issue athletic shoes had also been blown apart.

His exposed skin was covered in wounds, and blood dripped from his body into the lake.

With a GULP, he swallowed a few Pills, and his aura, which hadn’t weakened in the slightest, suddenly surged even stronger!

”You all had your fun. Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?”

Before their disbelieving eyes, Chen Che slowly raised his head and broke into a grin.

”Quick, attack!”

Terror seized everyone’s hearts, and someone cried out in a choked voice.

But it was too late!

Chen Che took a single step, and in that instant, he was like a Fierce Beast descending a mountain, charging directly into the crowd.

BAM!

He threw a punch, and the examinee who had cried out was launched into the air, the imprint of a fist appearing on his back.

The next moment, Chen Che dodged a Flying Sword stabbing at his back, and his Divine Sense surged forth, smashing into the Divine Soul of the examinee before him and causing him to collapse into a flash of white light on the spot!

Immediately after, he took a hit from a Talisman and staggered, but simply clenched his fist, condensed the lake water into a sword, and slashed through the air, cleaving the Talisman Cultivator who had attacked him in two.

...

Finally, Chen Che’s battle intent blazed like a torrential inferno. Ignoring the other examinees’ attacks, a massive hand shot out from the churning lake water and slammed down on one student’s head. The violent force, like a speeding truck, dragged the student’s body forward for thirty or forty meters before stopping.

CRASH!

A massive wave, driven by his aura, surged hundreds of meters beyond the lake’s shore.

As he stopped, a white light flared.

A dead silence fell over the great lake.
