Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon, several days pa.s.sed once again. After these few days of preparation, Chen Heng’s match began once again.
When Chen Heng walked onto the stage, his opponent was already waiting there. Chen Heng silently raised his head and sized up his opponent standing in place. At this moment, standing opposite him, was a young man who looked very energetic.
The young man was wearing a long robe. He looked very delicate, exuding a sense of determination. From the surface, he looked very serious. It was the same as the impression in the photo.
When Chen Heng was looking at his opponent, his opponent was also looking at Chen Heng. At this moment, his gaze was on Chen Heng. Their gazes interweaved and were sizing each other up at this moment.
After a long while, the young man on the opposite side nodded at Chen Heng and said, “Let’s have a good fight…”
As he spoke, an invisible force field enveloped his body and turned into an invisible aura that enveloped the surroundings.
Looking at the young man on the opposite side, Chen Heng was a little surprised. However, he still nodded and revealed a gentle smile on his face in the end. “Come.”
Liu Sheng nodded. In the next moment, a fist appeared in front of Chen Heng.
A swift and fierce attack erupted. It was clearly an extremely calm atmosphere a second ago. It immediately became exceptionally swift and fierce in the next moment.
A pit several meters wide appeared on the entire compet.i.tion ground with a rumble. Within it, two figures shuttled and leaped, pa.s.sing through the surroundings.
From the surface, it seemed exceptionally intense. Of course, this was only on the surface. In reality, Chen Heng wasn’t using his full strength at this moment. Of course, it was the same for his opponent.
Since the start of the league tournament, both parties had already made their moves many times before. They had seen each other’s moves a few times before the match, so they had a certain level of understanding of the other party’s strength.
But even so, when they truly faced each other’s strength until now, they could still feel heavy pressure.
At this moment, they had a common feeling in their hearts. Their opponent seemed to be much stronger than what they had previously known.
“Why is his strength so strong…”
Looking at Chen Heng in front of him, Liu Sheng was a little shocked and uncertain. He was a little puzzled. “He was clearly injured before, so logically speaking, he shouldn’t have fully recovered by now. How could the power he unleashed be so terrifying?”
In his senses, the power Chen Heng unleashed at this moment had already surpa.s.sed what he had expected. This didn’t seem like the power of a person who had yet to recover from his injuries. Instead, it was incomparably valiant, causing him to feel a little apprehensive.
He didn’t know that Chen Heng, who was opposite him, was also a little surprised.
“This person’s strength is clearly even stronger than what was written in the information.”
Chen Heng exchanged blows with the other party as this thought flashed through his mind. “Is it that the other party has been concealing his strength all this time, or is the information wrong? Did he intentionally give me fake information?”
Thinking carefully, since Young Master Liu wanted Chen Heng to help him get rid of Liu Sheng, then the possibility of him intentionally hiding the information was not very high.
Then, Liu Sheng before him was intentionally hiding his strength. From the looks of it, he had also noticed the prying eyes of the people around him, so he had always held back. However, that was all.
Bang! A terrifying explosion of power erupted. In an instant, Chen Heng’s Qi Blood was boiling. Surging divine power surged out, transforming into a fist that pressed down.
An intense storm erupted, exploding with a bang. Violent power pressed down on Liu Sheng’s body, causing his Qi Blood to boil. It was exceptionally uncomfortable.
After a short period of probing, he was slowly suppressed and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position after Chen Heng began to erupt. Regarding this, he was unwilling to accept it. He also tried his best to counterattack and block Chen Heng’s attacks.
However, a feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart. In his perception, Chen Heng’s strength seemed to be endless and exceptionally majestic and terrifying. No matter how he used his strength and burst out his potential, the other party was always suppressed and firmly suppressed by one side.
The situation was about to reach an uncontrollable end.
“No!”
On the stage, Liu Sheng gritted his teeth and persevered. He recalled the appearances of a few figures in his mind, and a boundless fighting spirit suddenly surged in his heart. “I can’t lose here!
“Break!”
A brand new power surged into his body. Opposite Chen Heng, Liu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a fierce fighting spirit burst out from his eyes. A brand new power erupted and surged into his entire body in a short period, and it actually suppressed Chen Heng.
The pressure came, and a huge amount of power surged out from Liu Sheng’s body, giving Chen Heng a huge sense of pressure. Feeling this, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. He forgot about Liu Sheng in front of him, and his heart was filled with uncertainty.
“His strength has increased again…”
He was puzzled, and he was also a little confused at this moment. “How did he do it?”
From then until now, Liu Sheng’s strength has been maintained at a stable level. After the initial tug of war, Chen Heng already had some understanding of his opponent’s strength. There shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
He looked like he was slowly taking down Liu Sheng, but Liu Sheng suddenly burst out with brand new strength.
What on Earth was going on? Chen Heng was puzzled, but he suddenly thought of a situation recorded in the previous information.
According to the information given by Young Master Liu, Liu Sheng in front of him seemed to be a marginal figure two years ago. In the Liu family at that time, Liu Sheng’s strength was only ordinary. At this age, he was only an Official Martial Artist.
Although the strength of an Official Martial Artist was not bad, it was nothing compared to Young Master Liu. He was not worthy of being regarded as a threat.
However, two years ago, the other party seemed to have taken something unknown for some reason. His strength rose all the way. He had reached this level from an Official Martial Artist in just two short years.
This terrifying speed of improvement made Young Master Liu feel a huge threat. He did not hesitate to pay a huge price to dispel his arrogance so that he would not be able to threaten his position.
And now, it seems to be the same. It was clearly the same strength before, but Liu Sheng’s strength had increased in the blink of an eye. And from the looks of it, the increase in strength wasn’t insignificant at all.
What the heck was going on? Chen Heng was a little confused. He didn’t know what was going on.
“I definitely… I definitely can’t lose here…”
A muttering voice sounded in front of Chen Heng’s ears. Chen Heng subconsciously raised his head and looked in front of him.
In his line of sight, Liu Sheng’s appearance was revealed. At this moment, his face was filled with determination, and his eyes were filled with incomparable beliefs and will. He looked like he had a unique, infectious power that moved people.
He let out a low growl and then rushed toward Chen Heng, waving his fist. A violent power surged out with a series of bangs, pressing down on Chen Heng like seawater.
Boom! A dull sound came from the ground, and terrifying crackling sounds rang out. The scene looked exceptionally spectacular.
“Something’s wrong!”
Chen Heng’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch, looking at the scene in front of him. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say. “This fellow… What’s going on?”
He could sense that the other party’s strength was still increasing, as though there was no limit to it. This was not hiding his strength in advance but actually growing it. He was improving himself in battle, increasing his own strength.
But was this something that a normal person could do?
Chen Heng had experienced many worlds and many things, but he had never seen such a ridiculous situation before. There was such a thing as breaking through oneself in battle, but wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?
Bang! A series of sounds rang out as the two fists intersected. Then, Liu Sheng was sent flying by Chen Heng’s punch.
But in the next moment, he rushed over with a low growl. His face was filled with determination, as if he would never admit defeat. This feeling of not being able to kill a c.o.c.kroach was really uncomfortable.
“What’s going on?”
Outside the arena, Liu Rou couldn’t help but frown at the situation on the stage. She felt that something wasn’t right. “What the h.e.l.l is this?
“This isn’t someone who has just reached Level Three!”
Looking at Liu Sheng’s performance on the stage, she began to suspect that the information given by Young Master Liu was wrong.
She was not on the field, so she did not know the specific information. She only thought that the information given by Young Master Liu was wrong.
Fortunately, if it was only at this level, Chen Heng should be able to solve it. This thought flashed through Liu Rou’s mind. Then, she could not help but clap her hands and shout, “No, we have to make him pay more!”. This thought flashed through her mind, and then she quickly picked up the phone.
“What’s going on?”
In the distance, Lu Yao was still watching the match. At this moment, she looked at the television in front of her and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
“My king, can you see anything?”
At this moment, Ye Zi’s voice rang in her ears, and it entered Lu Yao’s mind just like that.
“Not really… But…”
Standing where she was, Lu Yao looked at the television screen in front of her, a hesitant look on her face. “Brother’s opponent seems to be getting stronger all the time…”
In all seriousness, she wasn’t really a professional fighter or Beastmaster. She couldn’t see much from a battle of this level. However, as the power of a Golden King awakened in her body, her consciousness became more sensitive and sharp. Therefore, she often detected things that ordinary people could not detect.
This was the case at this moment. She could feel that Chen Heng’s opponent’s strength seemed to be slowly becoming stronger from her senses.
From the beginning until now, he had already changed a lot. However, she was not too sure about this, which was why she showed a hesitant look on her face.
“Not bad.”
Hearing Lu Yao’s reply, Ye Zi’s voice sounded once again. At this moment, there was some admiration in her voice. “That person’s strength is indeed becoming stronger and stronger…
“In the beginning, his strength was far inferior to that of your brother, my king.
“But the further he went, the stronger his strength became, and it grew very quickly…”
“Why is that?” Lu Yao hurriedly asked, looking a little puzzled.
Even for an ordinary person like Lu Yao, this sort of thing seemed a little illogical. How could someone in this world continuously grow stronger in a battle? This was obviously illogical.
“I’m not too sure either, but…”
Ye Zi’s voice sounded once more, and she seemed to be hesitating at this moment. “However, his strength is increasing continuously, and it seems to be related to his own beliefs.
“The stronger his beliefs are, the stronger his strength will be, and he will be able to raise his strength even further.
“I seem to have some impression of this unique method…”
Ye Zi seemed to be hesitating as she spoke.
She seemed to have some vague impression of the other party’s method of powering up, but she could not recall it.
“Will my brother be alright?”
Standing on the spot, Lu Yao looked at the scene displayed on the screen and said worriedly at this moment.
“He will be alright.”
Hearing Lu Yao’s words, Ye Zi shook her head and said, “No matter what method he used to power up, it can’t be endless.
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion. He could just be invincible.”
“My king, your brother’s strength is considered formidable even in my opinion. He’s almost una.s.sailable in all aspects.
“No matter how much Liu Sheng improves, he’s unlikely to be your brother’s match in a short period of time.”
She said this and voiced her thoughts.
In the end, everything in this world still had to go through the basics.
Indeed, this method of increasing one’s strength would be strange. However, he couldn’t reach a whole new level in a single step no matter what. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such strength.
And from Ye Zi’s point of view, with Chen Heng’s strength, as long as Liu Sheng couldn’t surpa.s.s his limits and reach above Level Three, it was impossible for him to be a match for Chen Heng.
“Is that so…”
Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao nodded. At this moment, she finally felt at ease. She continued to raise her head and observe the match in front of her.
There were some changes in the situation on the screen at this moment.
Bang! A slender and fair arm stretched out and struck Liu Sheng’s chest in an instant, sending him flying.
After a short period of adaptation, Chen Heng finally retaliated once more. He immediately made his move and suppressed Liu Sheng with even more terrifying strength, once again gaining the upper hand. This was a strength that was even stronger than before.
“I must use my full strength to strike him once and for all. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome…”
Chen Heng made his move while this thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, he had basically figured out how his opponent would increase his strength.
It seemed to be a kind of power related to belief. The stronger his belief was, the stronger the power he could obtain. And in this aspect, Liu Sheng in front of him was undoubtedly very outstanding.
His will was exceptionally strong, much stronger than many people that Chen Heng had met before. It was enough to shock people.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to grit his teeth and persevere until now, even when his strength was far inferior to Chen Heng. His own strength was even continuously increasing.
Chen Heng was actually not unfamiliar with this kind of strength. When he was in the Sorcerer World, he had experienced a small world. He had pa.s.sed the Hero’s Trial and obtained a Mark of Faith.
The power of that Mark of Faith was also related to faith. However, the difference was that the power of that Mark of Faith was more focused on gathering the faith of others. By borrowing the Power of Faith from others, one could become stronger.
Even if it was the power of an ant, as long as there was enough of it and the faith was strong enough, it could gather the power to destroy everything. This was the Mark of Faith.
And the situation on Liu Sheng’s body seemed to be slightly different. The power on his body was not gathering the belief of others but converting his own belief into power. As long as his will was strong enough, the power would come endlessly.
The nature of the two was somewhat similar, but they were not the same. It could be considered a very special kind of power. But even so, Chen Heng believed that this kind of power definitely did not appear out of thin air. Any power needed to have a source.
Liu Sheng in front of him was indeed becoming stronger endlessly, and the Power of Belief was indeed powerful. But how could one have this much increase in power relying solely on his own Power of belief?
During this process, he would inevitably consume some other things. And these things could not be infinite. Therefore, in the end, Liu Sheng would definitely not be able to hold on and become stronger without limits.
However, even so, this method was still very impressive. There must be some secrets involved. At the very least, this ability to use one’s own Power of Faith to make oneself more powerful could be considered terrifying.
Following Chen Heng’s thought, a loud sound came from before his eyes. Chen Heng raised his head and looked over. He saw that Liu Sheng, who had just been sent flying by him, was once again charging towards him.
His aura did not change at all. Even though he was covered in blood, it seemed like he could not stop him. His entire person seemed to have a unique aura.
“Are you still not giving up?”
Looking at Liu Sheng in front of him, Chen Heng frowned. Then, he stretched out a hand and slapped it in front of him.
Bang! A huge force came from in front of him. Just like that, it surged over and slapped Liu Sheng’s body. In front of Chen Heng, Liu Sheng’s body suddenly froze. At that moment, blood splattered all over his body, scattering in all directions.
However, even at this point, Liu Sheng still did not admit defeat. He did not even fall down. His body was already in tatters, and there were wounds all over his body. He looked like he was dripping with blood.
Yet, he was still standing there, even though he was unconscious, still in the posture of a man about to charge.
At first glance, it was shocking.
