Chapter 444: A Hazy Feeling
"Don"t be rash..."
Liu Rou"s continued to persuade him with her face was full of bitterness.
Not many people knew more about w.a.n.g Zhong"s information than she did.
After all, for Chen Heng to obtain better results and be able to reach the end, she had already done detailed research on many people, so she was very clear about this basic information.
It was precisely because she was clear that she had to persuade him.
Unlike ordinary people, w.a.n.g Zhong was the leading figure of this generation of the w.a.n.g family. His strength was formidable and he could basically be confirmed as the future successor of the w.a.n.g family.
He was similar to Chen Heng. Not only was he a Beastmaster himself, but he also had powerful martial arts talent. His martial arts strength was at least at level three.
It was rumored that the w.a.n.g family had spent a lot of effort to send him into the starry sky, deliberately a.s.sisting him in his cultivation and cultivating a unique battle technique.
And that battle technique was exceptionally powerful, known as the Indestructible s.h.i.+eld.
He was definitely one of the strongest partic.i.p.ants in the tournament.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, he would probably be able to enter the top ten of the league tournament, and his strength would reach a certain level.
It was dangerous for Chen Heng to go up against w.a.n.g Zhong with his current strength.
That was why Liu Rou persuaded him that she didn"t want Chen Heng to go up against w.a.n.g Zhong right now.
No, if possible, she didn"t even want Chen Heng to go up against w.a.n.g Zhong in the league.
This was because w.a.n.g Zhong"s style had always been known for being fierce and brutal. It was just like how he treated Yang Ke just now.
If he were to confront Chen Heng, Liu Rou could guarantee that he would treat Chen Heng the same way he treated Yang Ke. It was not impossible for him to directly cripple Chen Heng.
After all, this was not the first time w.a.n.g Zhong had done something like this.
Moreover, w.a.n.g Zhong"s camp was hostile to Chen Heng.
Chen Heng was Yang Ke"s good friend and a member of Dragon City Academy.
w.a.n.g Zhong was not only Yang Ke"s enemy, but the academy he joined also happened to be the enemy of the Dragon City Academy.
The two sides stood on opposite sides. If they really made a move, the other side would not show the slightest mercy.
At that time, the battle would probably be very tragic.
Liu Rou did not want Chen Heng to get involved.
If possible, she hoped that Chen Heng would not run into another matchup and fight with other strong people.
Chen Heng"s expression did not change during Liu Rou"s persuasions. He was still as calm as before.
He looked at Liu Rou in front of him, but his gaze did not change at all. Liu Rou"s expression could not help but become much uglier under Chen Heng"s gaze. "Don"t be like this..."
"You have to know that if you lose in the league tournament, not only you, but even I will have to suffer a great loss..."
She sighed and then said this to persuade him.
"The request you made to me before was only to win one or two matches in the league tournament..."
Chen Heng"s expression was calm as he said indifferently, "I have already fulfilled this request."
"Then, what about my request now?"
As his voice fell, Liu Rou couldn"t help but feel a headache. At this moment, she felt extremely regretful.
If she knew, she shouldn"t have said so much to Chen Heng, much less told him that the Black Dream Group could operate. If that were the case, there wouldn"t be such a thing happening in front of her.
"And..."
In front of him, Chen Heng continued, "How do you know that I will definitely lose?"
He raised his head, looked at Liu Rou, and said so.
"Okay..."
Liu Rou revealed a bitter smile. At this time, she didn"t know what to say. She could only shake her head and continue, "Even if I"m willing to help you arrange the matchup, this matter might not be able to..."
"Then let"s factor in the influence of Dragon City Academy..."
In front of her, Chen Heng"s voice continued to be heard.
"What?" Liu Rou was instantly stunned.
"The opponent is an enemy of Dragon City Academy..."
Chen Heng glanced at her lightly, then shook his head and continued, "If that"s the case, then someone is willing to stand up and help the academy deal with him...
"The academy should be very happy to see this kind of thing, right?"
"That"s true..." Liu Rou pondered for a moment, then couldn"t help but nod.
w.a.n.g Zhong was the Yang family"s sworn enemy and the enemy of Dragon City Academy.
From Dragon City Academy"s perspective, if someone was willing to represent Dragon City Academy to fight the other party, then Dragon City Academy should be happy about it.
And gathering the influences of the Black Dream Group and Dragon City Academy, it shouldn"t be a problem to push for a matchup between Chen Heng and w.a.n.g Zhong.
The premise was that the other party wouldn"t object to the arrangement.
After all, if they could make their own arrangements, the other party could naturally do the same.
If w.a.n.g Zhong"s mind was closed, there wasn"t much they could do even if they wanted to. After all, both sides were on equal footings.
However, according to Liu Rou"s understanding of w.a.n.g Zhong, they definitely wouldn"t oppose their arrangements.
She knew w.a.n.g Zhong"s character very well. All-powerful professionals had their own pride. And an outstanding professional like w.a.n.g Zhong was even more so.
His opponent was a proud, even arrogant person from the bottom of his heart.
Given the opponent"s personality, if he knew of Chen Heng"s intentions, not only would he not want to avoid the battle, he might even be happy to welcome it. After all, w.a.n.g Zhong had absolute confidence in his own strength.
And the academy backing the Chen Heng would most likely not allow w.a.n.g Zhong to avoid the battle either. Perhaps, it might even turn out to be a catalyst for this matter.
In other words, as long as they expressed their intentions, the other party might just grant them their wish.
Liu Rou couldn"t help but reveal a bitter smile as she thought about it. At this moment, she didn"t know what to say. After a moment, Liu Rou still left.
In the end, she still agreed to Chen Heng"s request. There was no other way. To a certain extent, she couldn"t refuse Chen Heng"s request.
After all, if she really couldn"t, she seriously suspected that Chen Heng might directly go to the opponent in private if she didn"t agree to Chen Heng"s request.
If it really came to this, then Chen Heng"s eligibility to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion would be directly revoked, and the result would be even worse.
Rather than that, it would be better to agree to his request and let him go all out. Therefore, she ultimately agreed and didn"t continue to look for reasons.
At the same place, after Liu Rou left, Chen Heng"s room was left alone. Sitting alone in his room, he looked at Liu Rou"s back. Only then did he turn around and stand there silently.
He was feeling the changes in his body. At this moment, as time pa.s.sed, his strength was still increasing. He was close to a limit and was about to have a new breakthrough.
"However, I seem to have reached the peak of this world"s body forging technique."
Before this, he had been cultivating the body forging technique of this world. This was also the technique that the Martial Artists of this world needed to cultivate.
The reason why he was going through the training was its convenience, and at the same time, he could also have a complete grasp on the Martial Artist system of this world.
After all, only those who had truly cultivated this world"s system would have a better understanding of this system and integrate it into their own system.
Therefore, before this, Chen Heng had also cultivated this world"s body forging technique in addition to cultivating his telekinetic power. He had only used divine power and slaughter power to a.s.sist.
But now, this world"s path of a Martial Artist could be considered to have come to an end.
It wasn"t that he couldn"t continue to advance, but the Martial Arts of this world seemed to have only reached this step.
At the very least, from what Chen Heng knew, the body forging techniques of this world could only allow a warrior to reach Level Three at most.
In terms of life essence, this Level Three standard was roughly equivalent to a Third Ring Life knight, but in terms of combat power, it was much weaker. Although in terms of life essence and physical quality, it was similar to a Life Knight of the same level, it lacked the unique thing of life energy. This resulted in a vast difference in battle prowess.
Of course, this did not mean that the path of Martial Artists in this world had no redeeming qualities.
In reality, the body forging of this world and the Life Knight of the World of G.o.ds could complement each other.
If Chen Heng could be given some time to fuse the body forging of this time with the Knight"s breathing technique, in the end, he would definitely be able to obtain a good result.
But even so, up until now, Level Three was the limit of this world. And Chen Heng had already reached the limit of this world. There was further improvements ahead.
"But, it might not be...
"The internal cultivation technique of the academy can only allow people to reach level three, but Dragon City Academy itself is not the strongest force in this world..."
The background of this world was very big.
If this planet was placed in the universe, it would only be nothing more than debris.
Compared to the Five Knights that were about to arrive, even the Qika Federation that ruled this planet was nothing, let alone a small Dragon City Academy.
Perhaps, the exhaustion of this path was only for Dragon City Academy.
For a force like the Five Knights, which spanned across the starry skies, perhaps they would possess the body forging technique in the future.
Of course, for Chen Heng, even if the Five Knights had the follow-up body forging technique, it had nothing to do with him.
Not to mention that the Five Knights were his sister"s sworn enemies. Even if they weren"t, he wouldn"t have the opportunity to interact with them, let alone obtain the follow-up body forging technique from them.
However, even though the path of the Five Knights couldn"t be taken, there was still another path that he could take.
That path was none other than Lu Yao. Chen Heng didn"t forget his sister"s ident.i.ty. Lu Yao wasn"t an ordinary person but the reincarnation of the legendary Golden King.
As the reincarnation of the Golden King, she must have grasped many inheritance manuals, and among them, there must be a higher level of cultivation technique.
If Chen Heng wanted to obtain a higher level of inheritance, he would start with Lu Yao. This was the most practical method.
Of course, reasonably obtaining the inheritance from Lu Yao was also a difficult problem. But this was something that needed to be solved in the future.
What Chen Heng needed to solve was another matter in the current situation. Standing on the spot, Chen Heng raised his head and looked at the top of his head.
Above his head, a faint red layer floated, faintly turning into layers of clouds and mist, appearing unique. At this moment, there was already a layer of golden color brewing.
"w.a.n.g Zhong, huh..."
Just now, the reason why he had mentioned with Liu Rou that he wanted to fight with w.a.n.g Zhong was not purely a battle of wills. Standing up for Yang Ke was only one aspect, and he could also repay her kindness.
But more importantly, through this battle, Chen Heng could obtain a certain degree of benefit. The omen of the Mark of Destiny was like this.
Before this, Chen Heng had already predicted this battle situation through the Mark of Destiny.
According to the omen given by the heavenly fate mark, the battle between Chen Heng and w.a.n.g Zhong was not too dangerous. Although there would be some twists and turns, it would eventually calm down and bring great benefits to Chen Heng.
However, Chen Heng was very puzzled about the origin of this benefit.
He stood where he was and fell into deep thought. However, after thinking for a long time, he still could not find the answer. Then, he could not help but shake his head, turned around, and left this place.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
After a few days, Liu Rou came to Chen Heng"s room again and told him a piece of news. The name list of the compet.i.tion had been released. Chen Heng"s next opponent was none other than w.a.n.g Zhong.
From the looks of it, during this period, Liu Rou had indeed played her part and worked well for Chen Heng.
"My matters here have ended now."
Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, Liu Rou opened her mouth and finally sighed. "Now, it"s up to you.
"I don"t have high expectations for you. I just have to say something here.
"If you feel that you"re not a match for him, you must surrender as soon as possible. Don"t force yourself to hold on."
Standing where she was, she patted Chen Heng on the shoulder and looked at Chen Heng as she said seriously and carefully.
Obviously, she was afraid that Chen Heng would force himself to hold on until the end. Even if he couldn"t win, he wouldn"t admit defeat. If that were the case, the result would be terrible.
Based on her understanding of w.a.n.g Zhong, if that were the case, Chen Heng"s fate would not be much better than Yang Ke"s.
Yang Ke had been like this before. In the beginning, she did not surrender in time. In the end, even if she wanted to surrender, she would no longer have the chance.
The opponent did not give you the chance to surrender. Even if you wanted to, there was nothing you could do.
Yang Ke"s example caused Liu Rou to be afraid that Chen Heng would follow in Yang Ke"s footsteps.
"Tell me the truth."
Looking at Chen Heng, Liu Rou said seriously, "A momentary victory or defeat is actually nothing. The fact that you have reached this point is already far beyond my expectations.
"Everyone has seen your excellence. Even if you lose now, it won"t affect you much.
"So, don"t feel any psychological pressure. When it"s time to admit defeat, just admit defeat." She looked at Chen Heng and said.
Chen Heng stood where he was with a calm expression. He stood there silently and didn"t say anything.
Hearing her words, he turned around and smiled. "I understand. Don"t worry about anything."
He looked at Liu Rou and chuckled. "If I were really that kind of person, I wouldn"t have lost to Yang Ke."
Hearing this, Liu Rou nodded silently. Only then did her heart relax.
In this world, there were indeed many people who placed great importance on victory and defeat. Even if they knew that they weren"t a match for Yang Ke, they wouldn"t admit defeat.
However, it was clear that Chen Heng wasn"t such a person. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have intentionally admitted defeat in the battle with Yang Ke back then.
From the current situation, Chen Heng had already possessed great strength back then. He was able to defeat Yang Ke easily. However, he didn"t do so. Instead, he directly admitted defeat.
This free and direct att.i.tude was clearly not something that those who had a strong desire for victory and defeat possessed.
Thinking of this, Liu Rou could not help but feel relieved. However, she could not help but open her mouth and give a few more words of advice in the end. Chen Heng had a smile on his face. Facing Liu Rou in front of him, he nodded from time to time.
After a long while, Liu Rou left this place and turned around to go somewhere else. From the looks of it, she must have gone to her other matters.
Chen Heng was left alone on the spot. Chen Heng watched Liu Rou"s back slowly disappear. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into meditation.
A hazy feeling came over him.
"This feeling again..."
Feeling that hazy feeling, Chen Heng slowly opened his eyes and secretly frowned. Recently, he often had a unique feeling.
As he meditated, his spiritual power continued to grow, and he was also able to sense something unique slowly. Chen Heng would feel a hazy feeling.
It was as if his spiritual power had touched a certain level, and he had come into contact with something. That feeling was unique and unprecedented. Chen Heng could not help but frown, feeling a little puzzled.
"There are no signs of danger from the Mark of Destiny..."
He activated the Mark of Destiny in his body and tried to sense it. The Mark of Destiny shone brightly in his body and sensed the situation around him.
However, in the end, he didn"t sense any danger. It seemed that this change wouldn"t bring him any bad things, although he couldn"t figure out what this thing was.
"I"m getting more and more confused..."
From its looks, there was also some unknown change in his body that caused this strange phenomenon. He just didn"t know what was causing this strange phenomenon.0
Soon, another three days pa.s.sed. After three days, Chen Heng once again walked onto the stage.
The stage was still the same as before. The surroundings looked the same, and there weren"t many changes compared to before.. However, at this moment, his opponent had arrived.
