Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Astonishing Power

At the beginning, everyone thought that Su Lieyang was bound to lose, even Duan Henxi and Mu Shan did not have high hopes for him.

But to everyone’s surprise, Su Lieyang actually defeated Zhao Wuji!

The stark contrast made it hard for everyone to accept.

“Su Lieyang actually… won!” Liu Qingyang said, his face full of astonishment.

Duan Henxi also said in astonishment, “How is that possible? They both used Profound Grade high-level martial techniques, Su Lieyang only had a more powerful weapon, and his cultivation wasn’t as high as Zhao Wuji’s. Even if he could boost his combat strength, it was clearly not enough to surpass Zhao Wuji, yet he won!”

Such an unexpectedly delightful outcome was truly inconceivable.

“Su Lieyang wins!” the dean of Shuiyun Academy announced, even he was shocked.

Zhenyuntian quickly flashed onto the stage to bring Su Lieyang back and made him swallow Healing Pills, praising him, “Well done.”

With Su Lieyang’s victory, Tianyan Academy, previously thought to be at a disadvantage, actually had three students advance, surpassing both Shenfeng Academy and Tianwu Academy in performance.

Three students from Shuiyun Academy and three from Tianyan Academy advanced, while Shenfeng Academy and Tianwu Academy each had only two advancing.

Zhao Wuji’s loss was undoubtedly a huge blow to Shenfeng Academy; they had no chance for the top three now!

“Su Lieyang is very clever, he knew from the start he was no match for Zhao Wuji,” Feng Wuchen said with a calm smile.

“No match for Zhao Wuji? But didn’t Su Lieyang win?” Liu Qingyang asked in astonishment, Miao Qingqing also looked puzzled at Feng Wuchen.

“Su Lieyang indeed won, but he won right here.” Feng Wuchen pointed at his head and smiled, “The Divine Ice Body has immense defensive power, which can reduce damage to oneself, and the Heavenly Script Talisman is a talisman that enhances the power of martial skills. The script is consumed with one use, so that’s how a Profound Grade high-level martial technique could exert the power of an Earth Rank one!”

“A talisman? That powerful?” Liu Qingyang and others were visibly shocked.

Feng Wuchen nodded and continued, “If it were a drawn-out fight, Su Lieyang would no doubt lose; he didn’t have the time to prepare or enough strength to contend with Zhao Wuji. It was one move that decided the winner, and Zhao Wuji was tricked, giving Su Lieyang ample time to prepare. With martial skills that boosted his combat power, it was natural he could defeat Zhao Wuji in one move. The talisman was the key.”

“So that’s why!” Liu Qingyang and the others nodded, feeling even more astounded after the explanation.

A talisman? They had never heard of such a thing!

Where did Su Lieyang get it from? Nobody knew.

The talismans come from Shen Dao Sect, a powerful sect on the Mainland, home to numerous strong practitioners and possessing various mighty script symbols.

The sect was also renowned across the Mainland because of these talismans.

The fact that Su Lieyang had a Heavenly Script Talisman might indicate that Elder Su had bought it from somewhere on the Mainland; the Empire certainly didn’t have them.

A talisman is a one-time use item, gone once used.

Zhao Wuji’s defeat was not undeserved, for a fight doesn’t just rely on brute strength, but also on brains!

Of course, Su Lieyang was also well prepared. Had he not faced such a formidable opponent, he probably wouldn’t have used the talisman.

Although many students did not understand what happened, all could guess it had to do with the mysterious golden script Su Lieyang used.

The first round of the martial competition ended, and the advancing students had ample time to heal and restore their True Yuan, and the elders also used their True Yuan to aid in the healing, so there was no need to worry about the injuries.

With a day’s time and the help of powerful Healing Pills, all injured students had recovered, and their True Yuan also returned to its peak condition.

The second round of the competition began, and the students drew lots one after the other.

The first to take the stage was Bai Kong from Shuiyun Academy, whose opponent was from Tianwu Academy at the Fourth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm. The fight lacked excitement, as Bai Kong dodged with a swift move and sent his opponent flying off the stage with one palm strike.

The presence of Bai Kong was like that of an invincible force, capable of defeating five others!

Bai Kong’s strength was something even Feng Wuchen was not sure about, as he suspected Bai Kong’s power was comparable to Huangfu Zhantian at his peak!

The second to take the stage was Su Lieyang, whose opponent remained a student from Shenfeng Academy, though unfortunately, they were only at the Fourth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm.

If Zhao Wuji had lost to Su Lieyang, what were the odds for him? He surrendered the moment he stepped on the stage out of sheer fright.

In front of Su Lieyang, the pressure was too immense; the student felt as though he could not muster his strength.

In this fight, Su Lieyang advanced smoothly without needing to make a move, and there was a chance for him to make it to the top three!

At this point, all the geniuses from the other academies undoubtedly saw Su Lieyang as a formidable rival.

The next bout was between Duan Henxi and Li Mu from Shuiyun Academy; Li Mu was slightly stronger than Duan Henxi, and the fierce contest was spectacular.

But to everyone’s amazement, Duan Henxi won in the end!

Having cultivated the Supreme body, Duan Henxi had an absolute advantage physically, and coupled with the Spiritual Artifact War Soul Spear, he completely closed the gap in strength and finally turned the tables on Li Mu to advance.

Miracle after miracle occurred for Tianyan Academy, much to the other academies’ surprise.

What seemed to be the weakest academy now displayed astonishing strength and battle talent in this genius competition, shocking all the other geniuses.

The fourth match was a showdown between students from Shuiyun Academy and Shenfeng Academy; the difference in their strength was noticeable, and without a doubt, Shuiyun Academy won.

The students of Shuiyun Academy had always been incredibly strong, without question.

In the last match, unfortunate Feng Wuchen faced the strongest student from Tianwu Academy, Wu Qianshan, whose cultivation in the Fifth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm meant his strength was even more formidable than Zhao Wuji’s.

Nevertheless, no one dared to underestimate Feng Wuchen.

Just how strong Feng Wuchen was, from the start of the competition until now, no one knew, as they only knew of his cultivation at the Third Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm.

But judging from Feng Wuchen’s easy defeat of Qin An, he was indeed strong.

Everyone was looking forward, eager to witness the strength of Feng Wuchen.

“Finally, we get to see the mysterious Feng Wuchen’s true power!”

“Wu Qianshan is so strong, if Feng Wuchen doesn’t give it his all, he has no chance of winning!”

“Even if he does his best, I’m afraid he still won’t be able to beat Wu Qianshan. That guy— even Bai Kong is somewhat wary of him. Feng Wuchen’s strength, at most, is only better than Qin An’s.”

The students were buzzing with discussion, each with their own speculations.

“Feng Wuchen,” Bai Kong glanced at Feng Wuchen as he stepped onto the platform, only giving him a look before closing his eyes to continue cultivating.

“Go Feng Big Brother!” Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing shouted non-stop.

The Sky Shadow cavalry and the soldiers of the Black Flag Army had their faces filled with excitement; they too wanted to know just how strong Feng Wuchen was.

“Feng Wuchen was able to kill Huangfu Zhantian, his strength must be incredibly terrifying!” Duan Henxi frowned and muttered to himself.

On the platform, Feng Wuchen faced off against Wu Qianshan.

In that moment, the entire arena fell deathly silent.

Facing Wu Qianshan, who was at the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm, could Feng Wuchen maintain the same absolute advantage as he did defeating Qin An?

Wu Qianshan assumed a battle stance, his gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen and said indifferently, “To remain so calm in front of me, you seem to be quite confident in your own strength.”

“Perhaps.” Feng Wuchen answered lightly.

“Give it your all! In your fight with Qin An, you didn’t even use your full strength!” Wu Qianshan frowned, his aura starting to burst forth as he stirred the True Yuan power within him, which was indeed more terrible than Zhao Wuji’s.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen gave a slight smile. He activated the power of the Dragon God, and a surging and wild force burst forth like a flood, his body shining with a golden light as if he were a War God.

“Buzz buzz!”

Feng Wuchen’s power rapidly soared, the platform shook violently, and the powerful Qi Force swept around like a violent windstorm.

“The power is increasing so fast! It’s already surpassed Qin An!”

“How is that possible! It’s still rising! Is Feng Wuchen really at the Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm?”

“He’s nearly reaching the Fifth Layer of the Yuandan Realm! This guy is a monster!”

Feeling the rapidly escalating surged power of Feng Wuchen, all of the students and soldiers started to look terrified, sweating coldly as if they were looking at a beast.

“The power of the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm!” Bai Kong suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards Feng Wuchen in shock.

When Feng Wuchen’s power peaked and then ceased, the whole arena was stupefied, the platform was already crumbling due to the formidable power, beyond recognition.

All that was left on everyone’s faces was shock, absolute shock!

“A cultivator of the Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm actually possesses the power of the Fifth Layer!” The Great General, the Dean, and the elders were all dumbfounded.

They finally truly understood the real meaning behind Ye Cangqiong’s words, “Those who underestimate their opponents will never end well.”

“It turns out that Feng Wuchen is the most terrifying genius of Tianyan Academy!” The Dean of Shuiyun Academy exclaimed in shock, as no one had expected Feng Wuchen to hide his abilities so deeply.

“Feng Wuchen’s strength is definitely above Su Lieyang’s!” Zhenyuntian said with a slight, smug smile.

“Dean Xing, your academy has been hiding very deep indeed!” another Dean said in astonishment, his eyes fixed on Feng Wuchen.

“This student was personally sought after by the Dean, a nominal student of our academy, a newcomer who never cultivates at the academy,” Zhenyuntian said softly.

“What? Sought after?”

“A nominal student?”

“Never cultivates at the academy?”

The Generals, Deans, and elders once again showed shock on their faces!

How terrifying must this student be if the Dean personally sought after him?

The more Zhenyuntian spoke in enigmatic terms, the more it shocked and intrigued them.

“Are you satisfied now?” Feng Wuchen asked with a faint smile, his gaze turned towards Wu Qianshan, emitting an aura that made people’s hearts tremble with fear.

With a face full of horror, Wu Qianshan looked as if he had seen a ghost, his body rigid, not moving an inch.

Feng Wuchen’s strength had surpassed his own cultivation by two whole levels, such fearsome power was certainly not that of an ordinary genius!

Wu Qianshan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply as he mobilized his power again, undoubtedly employing his full strength, facing such a formidable opponent, he had to go all out.

“Bang!”

A fierce glint flashed in Feng Wuchen’s eyes, and with a loud explosion, he created a huge crater with his step, his figure shot out like a bolt of golden lightning, reaching Wu Qianshan in the blink of an eye.

Without any hesitation, Feng Wuchen threw a punch, with awe-inspiring might, as if a mountain were pressing down from above.

“Boom!”

Wu Qianshan raised both hands to his face to block, but with a thunderous boom, he was sent flying back six or seven meters by Feng Wuchen’s punch!

The entire arena erupted into an uproar!
