Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2706: Chapter 2709: One Versus Two

As soon as Si Wenkang and the others left, everyone’s eyes turned to Si Huang’er.

Si Huang’er didn’t waste a single word, didn’t look at anyone, just stepped forward two steps, took out a Jade Talisman, and tossed it toward the plaza in front of her.

Whoosh!

Dazzling radiance lit up from the Jade Talisman, and the same light flared on the ground of the plaza.

Buzz!

Space trembled once, and a circular arena a hundred meters in diameter appeared in the middle of the plaza.

"Those in the Divine Infant Realm, get on stage. Twenty people, only three can stay. Whoever leaves the arena’s boundary or admits defeat loses."

Si Huang’er spoke mildly.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A series of air-tearing sounds rang out as the Divine Infant Realm team standing in the back leapt onto the arena.

"The rules are this casual?"

Jiang Chen shot Si Huang’er a surprised look.

"It’s not the final grand competition, no need to be too strict. It’s just another chance to show yourselves, see if anyone from the imperial city takes a liking to you."

Si Huang’er replied faintly.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, understanding in his heart. He swept a glance over the positions on the arena, then leapt toward someone.

This bout wasn’t just for fighting over slots to enter the Canglan Realm; they also wanted to show off, hoping some experts in the imperial city would choose them and keep them, huh?

Speaking of which, why do you even need to fight over slots just to enter the Canglan Realm?

Grumbling rose in Jiang Chen’s heart, but his body had already landed on the arena.

"Wu Hen, you’re here too."

Jiang Chen smiled at Jian Wuheng beside him.

"Not just me, Ruo Xue, Feng Qingyang, the others are all here. They’re on Academy Street!"

Jian Wuheng answered with a light chuckle.

"Oh? Those guys have improved that fast?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

"Someone’s news keeps coming back to the academy nonstop. If we don’t cultivate like crazy, how are we supposed to stand it?"

Jian Wuheng gave Jiang Chen a teasing look.

Jiang Chen was briefly stunned, then smiled faintly.

"Begin the bout!"

A cool, clear voice rang out. Jiang Chen and Jian Wuheng immediately stopped chatting and looked shoulder to shoulder at the others on the arena.

At this moment, the arena had split into over a dozen small groups. Jiang Chen and Jian Wuheng were one team, and there was another two-man team; everyone else was solo. After all, the continent was so big, and they were all Divine Infant Realm. Only twenty people had been chosen, so it was perfectly normal for them not to know each other.

"Everyone, my target is that kid. I want to fight him one-on-one. He has two people right now—two people will ultimately be stronger than us singles. If you don’t mind, I’ll keep him occupied while you all gang up to knock the other one off first. How about it?"

A cold-faced young man raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Chen, speaking in a low voice.

Everyone paused slightly, then looked between Jiang Chen’s pair and that cold-faced youth.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his head to look at the cold-faced youth, information from Bai Xiao’s files surfacing in his mind.

Peng Fei, a Loose Cultivator, has always cultivated in the Demonic Beast Forest, battling beasts every day. Strongest record: solo kill of a Swift Wind Wolf at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, and escaping under siege from the Swift Wind Wolf pack.

"What a coincidence."

A blue-robed youth arched a brow. "My target is him too. How about we join forces and knock him down?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned his head and looked over: Li Wen, core Disciple of the second-rate power Sacred Origin Palace’s Palace Master. Strongest record: solo kill of three mountain bandits at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm.

Peng Fei froze for a moment, glanced at Li Wen, then turned to look at someone below the arena. Jiang Chen followed his gaze, his eyes narrowing—Zheng Tianyang!

That one was his man, then the other one...

Jiang Chen’s gaze locked onto a youth in the second row.

That youth sensed Jiang Chen’s gaze, curled his lips in a mocking smile, then turned to Zheng Tianyang. "Young Master Zheng, when this is over, let’s grab a drink together?"

"Naturally."

Zheng Tianyang instantly understood, replied with a faint smile, then shot Jiang Chen a cold look.

Everyone understood at once. They looked at Jiang Chen, then at Zheng Tianyang and his ally, expressions varying.

So Jiang Chen had offended Zheng Tianyang and Tan Zhengyao.

"Idiot."

Tang Jie gave Zheng Tianyang and his companion a disdainful glance, curled his lip, then turned his gaze back to the arena.

"Since you’ve said that much, why don’t you two deal with those two while we have our own fights, how about that?"

A black-clothed youth glanced between the two sides and made a soft suggestion.

"This..."

The cold-faced youth and his partner hesitated. They didn’t know each other at all; if they teamed up, their coordination definitely wouldn’t be as good as Jiang Chen and Ye Wentian’s.

"No need to trouble yourselves."

Jiang Chen spoke faintly. "Take one sword from me. If you can withstand it, I’ll jump down myself."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

This was someone ranked in the top twenty on Bai Xiao Building’s battle power list. Every single one of them was a genius capable of battling above their realm. And Jiang Chen actually wanted to defeat them all with one sword—had he lost his mind?

"What nerve."

Below the arena, a purple-robed youth beside Yue Muchen chuckled, then turned to Yue Muchen. "Brother Yue, he’s trying to steal your title of ’Invincible in the Same Realm.’"

"He can do it."

Yue Muchen replied blandly.

The purple-robed youth was taken aback, one brow lifting. When he looked back at Jiang Chen again, there was a grave light in his eyes.

He knew Yue Muchen’s personality very well; Yue absolutely wasn’t someone who exaggerated.

Could Jiang Chen’s battle power really far exceed his realm?

Expectation flashed in the purple-robed youth’s eyes.

The crowd beneath the arena had been stunned by Jiang Chen for a moment, then began whispering to each other. Up on the arena, however, everyone’s eyes sharpened as they stared solemnly at Jiang Chen.

Anyone ranked in the top twenty on Bai Xiao Building’s battle power list was no fool. Since Jiang Chen dared to say such a thing, he obviously had something to rely on. Everyone took him far more seriously.

"We’ve been underestimated."

Li Wen snapped out of it and spoke with a light smile.

"So arrogant. Then let’s grant his wish."

A cold glint flashed in Peng Fei’s eyes. His figure blurred as he charged at Jiang Chen, his entire body radiating bright cyan light while a wind vortex condensed in front of him.

"Alright."

Li Wen smiled faintly and turned into flames as he rushed toward Jiang Chen.

"A Fire Path Taoist Body?!"

"Didn’t think Li Wen was actually a Taoist Body!"

"Jiang Chen’s overreaching now!"

"One against two, with one of them a Taoist Body—Jiang Chen’s definitely going to lose!"

Voices of discussion erupted beneath the arena.

The people on the arena didn’t say anything. Only a few of those closest to Jiang Chen and Jian Wuheng shifted their steps, faintly surrounding the two. Their eyes locked onto Jian Wuheng, clearly intending to keep him from helping Jiang Chen.

Jian Wuheng looked at them with a mild smile, showing no intention of helping at all.

So what if it’s one against two? So what if the other’s a Taoist Body? Jiang Chen is the Son of Heavenly Dao. If all of us went up together, could we really beat him? That’s actually hard to say.

Whoosh!

Brilliant five-colored radiance burst from Jiang Chen’s body, instantly converging into one. An invisible sword took form, then thrust out in an instant.

A sword-shaped spatial ripple appeared out of nowhere, stabbing toward Peng Fei at extreme speed.

Wuying Sword Path!
