Chapter 39: Finger of the Heavenly Dao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan never would have thought that after beating a nosy individual, another individual would mysteriously come seeking revenge.
Most importantly, this person was seeking revenge for that nosy individual!
What the heck was this!?
Moreover, it was a human and dog duo. Where did these freaks come from?!
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan had always been short-tempered and his jaws were now clenched in fury. He felt as though he had been trampled over by ten thousand mythological beasts, and he could barely describe how f*cked he felt.
“First-year, Cla.s.s One, An Lin. Please enlighten me!”
“An Lin’s Summoned Beast, Da Bai. Please enlighten me, woof!”
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan: “…”
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan decided that he would stab through the two of them with a single thrust of his spear and make them into a s.h.i.+sh kebab!
However, just as the battle was about to break out, a figure suddenly dashed between w.a.n.g Xuanzhan and An Lin.
Seeing the figure which suddenly appeared, both w.a.n.g Xuanzhan and An Lin paused.
“Senior, don’t try to stop me! Hurry up and move aside!” An Lin said worriedly.
“w.a.n.g Xuanzhan and I have actually already agreed to do battle here. Regardless of how worried you are, you still need to abide by the first come first serve principle. What do you say, An Lin?”
Chen Chen spoke in a refined and courteous manner and he looked towards An Lin with his clear eyes.
Hearing this, a look of disbelief appeared on An Lin’s face. “Senior, your rank is only that of Eighth Stage Dao Body. You want to battle against this senior who has a rank of the Spirit Nurturing Stage?”
Chen Chen nodded seriously and even An Lin was able to detect the unwavering determination on his face.
An Lin had nothing to refute him with. Thus, he could only hold in his anger and move aside with Da Bai.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan was ecstatic when he saw this. He never would have expected for Chen Chen to actively seek battle.
What he felt now was something like this:
Just as he was about to marry a sow, a female of heavenly beauty suddenly appeared and kicked aside the sow. Then, she insisted that he enter the bridal chamber with her…
“Senior Chen, is what you said just then true?!”
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s battle intent started to burst out. His dragon might surged about like raging billows, and his eyes were glowing as he gazed at Chen Chen.
“That’s right. Come at me,” Chen Chen sighed softly.
He knew that if he didn’t stop An Lin, then An Lin would also suffer the same fate as Xuanyuan Cheng.
Having people continuously covering for him made him feel very peculiar.
He was very clear-minded at this moment. He knew that at the very least, he couldn’t let these adorable students rush to their doom because of him…
“Alright!”
Hearing Chen Chen’s reply, w.a.n.g Xuanzhan finally erupted.
In this instant, the battle intent which he had been building up for over three years all surged out!
Boom!
The scales on w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s body all quivered. His golden eyes possessed a dragon might which gazed upon all matter with a look of arrogance, and the power of the ancient dragon bloodline was completely released.
After releasing his battle intent, the wind howled fiercely. Dark clouds gathered up in the sky. The cries of dragons and booming of thunder could be vaguely heard.
Seeing this, a look of astonishment spread over Earth Immortal Cang Qing’s face. “This… is a Heavenly Phenomenon?!”
In the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, only Dragon Kings of the Soul Formation Stage would be able to utilize the power of their bloodline and incite Heavenly Phenomena. w.a.n.g Xuanzhan though, was able to accomplish this in just the Spirit Nurturing Stage. This truly gave Earth Immortal Cang Qing a fright.
“No one’s going to die right…” Earth Immortal Cang Qing wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and looked towards Chen Chen anxiously.
Chen Chen’s strength was a mystery. Although he’d been stuck on the Eighth Stage Dao Body for the past five years, no one would believe it if it was said that his strength was only that of the Eighth Stage Dao Body.
Just looking at the technique he used to escape from the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, it was clear that it wasn’t a technique that could be used by ordinary Eighth Stage Dao Body students. That was a technique that even the teachers could not understand!
However, the strength of w.a.n.g Xuanzhan—who had all guns blazing—had already reached an insanely terrifying level. Even if Chen Chen was concealing his strength, it couldn’t be that his true strength could tear apart the heavens, right?
What should I do if Chen Chen accidentally dies under w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s all-out attacks?
Earth Immortal Cang Qing had a ma.s.sive headache. After pondering for a moment, he finally decided to use his ultimate move. He took out a jade seal and crushed it.
Summon Mario!
Bah! I mean Summon Vice-princ.i.p.al Yu Hua!
A thick bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds and struck w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s spear.
Instantly, a lighting dragon wrapped around the spear and bestowed upon it the terrifying might of heaven and earth.
“This move of mine is called the Lightning Dragon Spear. Are you ready to receive this move?”
In this instant, w.a.n.g Xuanzhan was like a G.o.d of War. Thunder boomed as he spoke, and the ma.s.sive noise caused heaven and earth to tremor.
Chen Chen remained silent and signaled for him to continue.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan moved. He held the lightning dragon intertwined spear in his hand and thrust it towards Chen Chen.
The speed at which he moved was indescribable.
Like a bolt of lightning, w.a.n.g Xuanzhan was upon Chen Chen in an instant.
The spear was before him, and it possessed an invincible might which would render one unable to breathe.
Chen Chen’s expression didn’t change. He raised his hand and extended his index finger, pointing it between w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s brows.
In this instant, the heaven and earth became still at Chen Chen’s fingertip.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s body froze where he stood and he felt an indescribable terror as he looked towards Chen Chen’s fingertip. The finger grew larger and larger and the might of the Heavenly Dao enveloped his entire body.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s body trembled slightly. He saw a finger which could tear through the skies bearing down towards him. If this finger landed on him, it would definitely obliterate both his body and soul.
He felt as if he was an ant when he was before this heaven-crus.h.i.+ng finger!
Tsss, tsss…
It was as if the lightning dragon on his spear had come across something extremely frightening, and it turned into countless arcs of electricity as it scurried and scattered.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan instantly lost all his battle intent. He had a frightened expression as he retreated, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed and rays of suns.h.i.+ne once again beamed down upon the earth…
Chen Chen was covered in a soft glow and as before, he looked spotless and pure.
“W-What technique is this!” w.a.n.g Xuanzhan’s lips quivered as he stammered.
“Finger of the Heavenly Dao,” Chen Chen saluted as he spoke.
When he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
As w.a.n.g Xuanzhan looked toward Chen Chen’s disappearing figure, he couldn’t raise any thought of stopping him.
His battle intent had been obliterated. Fear would grip at his heart whenever he thought back to the finger which deprived heaven and earth of any l.u.s.ter…
“Heh, I’m such a joke…” he murmured softly.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan laughed mockingly at himself as he sat down on the ground, defeated.
An Lin, who was spectating the battle from afar, felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart as he witnessed Chen Chen extend his finger. Immediately afterwards, a splitting headache throbbed in his head.
“Ow! It hurts!”
An Lin collapsed to the floor and held his head as he screamed in pain.
The pain he was suffering was unimaginable and he felt as if his head was going to explode.
In his mind, the system radiated brilliantly:
“Finger of the Heavenly Dao, a finger which possesses the fundamental Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth.
“Initial mastery will allow one to annihilate all beings. Ultimate mastery will allow one to shatter the void, traverse through time and s.p.a.ce, and obliterate the Great Dao…
“A defect exists in the Heavenly Dao. Both the Heaven Obliterating Faction and Heaven Mending Faction propose paths to attaining the True Dao. This is a technique of the Heaven Obliterating Faction.”
A stream of information started surging into An Lin’s mind. However, his head was hurting so much at this moment that he was unable to digest this information. All he could do was grip his head in pain.
Da Bai stood at his side, baffled. He couldn’t understand why w.a.n.g Xuanzhan stopped attacking and collapsed to the ground in fright after Chen Chen extended his finger in such an ordinary manner.
He also couldn’t understand why An Lin suddenly started rolling about on the floor after seeing that finger.
…
On White Jade Plaza, tens of thousands of students were similarly baffled.
They looked at one another. At most, they would rub their eyes before casting their attention back to the screen.
They had a strong urge to say something or come up with some speculation to explain what had just happened.
Yet, they quickly realized that they couldn’t explain the situation at all!
All they saw was the mighty w.a.n.g Xuanzhan collapsing to the ground in fright after being pointed at by Chen Chen’s ordinary finger.
The scene was far too strange. Which angle could they dissect it from?
Could it be that Chen Chen forgot to put on the special effects when he used his technique?
If someone truly made such speculation, then congratulations, because they would have been half-correct in their guess!
When Chen Chen used his technique, he only used special effects on one person, that being w.a.n.g Xuanzhan. Others didn’t have the fortune of witnessing it…
Above the barrier, Earth Immortal Cang Qing’s eyes bulged as he saw this. It was also precisely this scene which caused him to involuntarily pull out a few strands of his white beard.
“Holy f*ck! What on earth happened? Can someone explain it to me?!”
Earth Immortal Cang Qing was completely baffled and he almost burst into tears.
It was excusable that the students were baffled. However, he was a teacher in charge of evaluating the students’ combat capability!
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan lost to Chen Chen, right?
Then, who can tell me how I should record Chen Chen’s combat capability?
Even he himself didn’t f*cking understand Chen Chen’s finger. What right did he have to a.s.sess his combat capability?
Earth Immortal Cang Qing turned his head towards the male standing in the void next to him and there was a pleading look in his eyes.
This male had thick black brows and a thick black mustache. His appearance was especially delightful.
That’s right, he was the one who promptly rushed over after Earth Immortal Cang Qing crushed his jade seal—Vice-princ.i.p.al Yu Hua!
Vice-princ.i.p.al Yu Hua also witnessed the scene which unfolded a moment ago.
“Sigh… Cang Qing…”
“I was observing other battles with my divine sense just then. How about you report to me what just happened?” Celestial Immortal Yu Hua had a calm expression on his face as he spoke.
Cang Qing’s face twitched.
Vice-princ.i.p.al, can’t you find a better excuse? Although my beard is white, that doesn’t mean I have dementia already!
