Free Web NovelChapter 2212: Chapter 2309: Truly Not to Be Provoked! (3rd Update)
"Strange." On the Third Level, Shee Mi blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling extremely puzzled. She was unaware that Su Chen had instantly killed Chen Tianxu yesterday, so at this moment, she truly believed that the Purple Shadow Divine Cat had deliberately held back.
It wasn’t because of her instructions.
"Very good." At this moment, the happiest one was Xue Chi, who almost laughed out loud, feeling a cruel satisfaction in his heart.
For whatever reason, Su Chen passed the test inexplicably.
And in the second round, it’s undoubtedly a confrontation of sorts, and he should face Su Chen.
To personally kill Su Chen, to personally torture him—the one he hated to his core—must be quite satisfying, right?
In a blink.
The Purple Shadow Divine Cat continued attacking others.
It could only attack each Martial Cultivator on the First Level once.
No matter how that Divine Lord Realm escaped its attack, no matter how unwilling it was, if the attack missed, it couldn’t attack that brat again.
It could only vent its frustration and anger on others.
Time continued to pass.
"Shee Jiufeng is terrifying!!!"
"He actually dodged it too."
"However, his way of dodging is much more commendable than that brat who isn’t even a Divine Lord Realm."
"Yes, his dodging relied on his position."
"A very fearsome movement technique."
"Being at Domain Master Realm Second Layer is truly impressive, effortlessly so."
......
Until the Purple Shadow Divine Cat attacked Shee Jiufeng, the arena erupted once again.
Shee Jiufeng also dodged it.
Yet, his movement technique was far inferior to Su Chen’s, and that’s precisely why many Martial Cultivators present saw it clearly.
And precisely because they saw it clearly, they found it even more shocking.
After the Purple Shadow Divine Cat attacked Shee Jiufeng, there were only forty people left on the First Level.
Out of these forty, thirty-nine had already survived the test of the Purple Shadow Divine Cat’s strike.
Only the last, Xue Chi, had not been tested.
This was within everyone’s expectations.
After all, the feast is always saved for last, isn’t it?
At this moment.
Nan Yunyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled a bit, watching Xue Chi with some anticipation.
Shee Tianshi felt the same.
So did Shee Mi.
Almost everyone present was filled with eager anticipation.
And under those expectant gazes.
Hiss...
The Purple Shadow Divine Cat vanished in a flash, attacking Xue Chi.
It seemed even faster.
A ghostly purple shadow swept through.
Strange.
Super fast.
Ferocious.
......
Yet.
In the blink of an eye, just as the Purple Shadow Divine Cat seemed to reach Xue Chi.
It was only a meter or two away.
Suddenly.
No one expected that Xue Chi didn’t dodge using his movement technique nor did he make any move; instead, he lifted his head abruptly: "Ha..."
He just shouted.
But!!!
After this shout resonated outward.
In an instant, the Purple Shadow Divine Cat, initially rushing forward like wind and electricity, appeared to freeze.
It stopped.
Just like that, frozen in mid-air.
As if caught in a swamp where it couldn’t struggle.
As if bound by strange, irresistible Divine Power.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Purple Shadow Divine Cat stopped and dropped like a blue-red stone landing on the ground.
Even more shocking, as it fell to the ground, the Purple Shadow Divine Cat was trembling, its purple eyes full of terror, apprehension, fear...
It squirmed half-heartedly on the ground, continuously bowing.
Pleading.
Inside the Martial Arts Arena, dead silence reigned.
It was too shocking.
Just shouting once made such a proud Demon Beast from the Ancient Era plead and bow?
It was terrifying.
What kind of intimidating strength is this?
Others, even Shee Jiufeng, Bi Qu, and others as powerful as Domain Master Realm Second Layer, could at most remain unmoved or dodge it, but with Xue Chi, it seemed it wasn’t the Purple Shadow Divine Cat testing Xue Chi; rather, it was Xue Chi testing the Purple Shadow Divine Cat.
The Purple Shadow Divine Cat completely failed the test.
Xue Chi hadn’t even made a move, just shouted, and the Purple Shadow Divine Cat was scared out of its wits.
In comparison, Xue Chi surpassed the other thirty-nine who passed the test by more than just a notch!
"Nice," Nan Yunyi murmured, admiringly praising. For a Sixth-Rank Power to cultivate someone as talented as Xue Chi, it was truly striking fortune; very impressive indeed.
"Good." Shee Tianshi was all smiles, watching Xue Chi with an expression of a father-in-law evaluating his son-in-law, more convinced that Xue Chi was destined to be his son-in-law; it’s a sure thing! No one else, not even Shee Jiufeng and Bi Qu, could be a match for Xue Chi!
"The aura of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile is really incredibly effective against most Demon Beasts," Su Chen observed, not surprised at all. Given that Xue Chi was a Bloodline holder of the Prehistoric Emperor Crocodile, if a single shout didn’t frighten the Purple Shadow Divine Cat, it would indeed be weird.
However, Su Chen felt it rather childish.
Ultimately, Xue Chi’s strength wasn’t even at Domain Lord Realm Third Layer; he merely seemed somewhat superior to the average at Half-Step Realm Master Boundary Third Layer.
He could easily crush him with a snap.
Yet somehow it felt like Xue Chi was portraying himself as invincible.
"Saintess, we’ve been waiting impatiently; Xue Chi appears a bit impetuous, scaring your companion." In the next moment, amidst the dead silence, Xue Chi spoke.
Though he couldn’t see Shee Mi, being on the First Level while she was on the Third Level.
Whatever he said, Shee Mi could definitely hear.
Xue Chi courteously masked his intent.
Indeed.
Blaming himself for frightening the Purple Shadow Divine Cat.
"It’s nothing; Young Master Xue’s strength is too formidable," Shee Mi spoke. Although she hadn’t mingled with Xue Chi and of course couldn’t speak of fondness or a romantic connection, his terrifying strength gave her an immense shock; truly, the term absolute Monster must refer to someone like Young Master Xue.
Furthermore, possessing such an astonishing talent for martial cultivation and yet maintaining such courtesy.
Neither arrogant nor impatient.
Lending promise to his future.
"Thank you." Xue Chi smiled, then gazed at Su Chen: "Congratulations on passing the first test."
Xue Chi’s words of congratulations were filled with playful sarcasm.
Indeed.
Cruel sarcasm.
Congratulating Su Chen on getting past the first test, then anticipating his encounter with a second round where life’s unbearable and utterly miserable.
He guaranteed that Su Chen would experience the most despairing moments of his life.
Su Chen completely ignored Xue Chi’s words.
Not even acknowledging.
On the Third Level, Shee Mi’s beautiful eyes were complex; she didn’t know the hatred between Xue Chi and Su Chen.
But she knew that Su Chen almost had no chance of survival, right?
The gap was too vast.
Both are Martial Cultivators, yet someone like Xue Chi, an absolute Monster, stands like a Son of Heaven; truly untouchable!
How on earth did Su Chen offend Xue Chi? It’s truly unwise, ultimately leading to his demise—a real pity, given Su Chen is not even Five Hundred Years Old, and his life is just beginning.
At the same second.
Shee Ju loudly announced: "Congratulations everyone, with forty individuals passing the first test, now to the second test. Surely, everyone has guessed by now? A martial match in the recruitment tournament, naturally involving combat. Forty, fighting in a manner mixing drawing lots with voluntary duels. Ultimately, picking the strongest from forty—the champion shall be our Tianheng Holy Realm son-in-law, the Saintess’s husband."
