Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Your Fist Isn’t Strong Enough
When Gu Yang’s fist formed, his face turned pale as paper .
But despite that, his expression was still as sinister as ever . That fist now contained his entire strength and energy, including an overdraft of part of his ancestral mark power .
You want to finish this in one move? Come! Long Chen raised his bone blade, his FengFu Star circulating . All his spiritual qi injected into his bone blade .
“Split the Heavens!” Long Chen shouted inside and his bone blade began to rumble . It was almost possible to hear the roar of a tiger emanating from it as it slashed down on Gu Yang .
When that fist and blade met, heaven and earth seemed to lose all sound . A brilliant flare of light immediately exploded out .
BOOM! The void appeared to shatter, qi waves surging everywhere, immediately engulfing an area of dozens of miles .
An immense crater was smashed into the ground, and the distant spectators had practically been buried alive . When some people managed to dig their way to see what had happened, they were completely speechless .
DONG!
At this moment the bell rang out, signalling the end of the Faction Compet.i.tion . But whether it was the winners or the losers, none of them cheered or made any sound . They just blankly stared at that crater .
At the bottom was a completely pale Long Chen . He was gasping for breath .
Opposite to Long Chen was Gu Yang . He was lying on the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth . He was filled with disbelief . One of his arms had been broken in several places, bending in extremely odd ways .
“If you want to crush me, Long Chen, to pulp, then your fist isn’t strong enough,” Long Chen shook his head lightly .
Gu Yang’s expression became even uglier . But as he opened his mouth to retort, he suddenly vomited out blood and fainted .
In that last attack Long Chen had pushed Split the Heavens to his max, causing its power to reach a kind of pinnacle .
For Gu Yang to be able to survive such an attack already showed how incredibly terrifying he was . But even if his physical body had been stronger, he was still heavily injured .
At the same time, Long Chen realized that as his cultivation base increased, Split the Heavens power also rose with it, becoming increasingly terrifying .
He still had no idea what cla.s.s of Battle Skill it was . But this definitely confirmed its cla.s.s was definitely shockingly high .
Once Gu Yang fainted, Long Chen smiled . A bit of that suppressed anger had finally been relieved . He was about to put away his bone blade when he suddenly felt the world spinning around him .
Just at that moment, a pair of soft hands gently supported him . A faint fragrance floated into Long Chen’s nose, filling him with warmth . Exhaustion beat him and he pa.s.sed out .
Looking at the pa.s.sed out Long Chen, Tang Wan-er’s heart ached . For him to have returned from the graveyard of the exiled, perhaps he had met countless dangers, more dangers than another person would see in their entire lifetime .
“Woot, we won!” Cheers rang out as people from her side began to crazily shout, showing off their excitement .
Tang Wan-er lightly rubbed Long Chen’s cheek . There was a bit of dirt as well as some stubble now .
But those things actually set off Long Chen’s resoluteness . In the past two months, it seemed Long Chen had once more matured a great deal .
“This scoundrel, no matter how much bitterness he goes through, he never tells anyone . ”
Tang Wan-er’s tears dripped down . Ye Zhiqiu walked over and gently patted her shoulder . “Let’s go back . Long Chen needs to rest . ”
She nodded . At this point a bunch of other people also came over with a stretcher, bringing Long Chen away .
The others who had been injured were waiting to be healed . But Tang Wan-er had examined Long Chen’s body and seen that he had simply run out of spiritual qi and was exhausted . He wasn’t actually injured, and so she directly brought him back .
Once they left, the Healing Hall’s disciples came out to heal everyone . However, Gu Yang, Lei Qianshang, and Qi Xin’s wounds were extremely severe .
That was especially true of Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin . Their bones had been trampled on . They had done too many wicked things up to this point and that was their vengeance .
Those disciples who hadn’t been able to fight back against them before had taken this chance to beat them without holding anything back .
That seed of hatred had long since been planted . But that seed really had matured too quickly . In just one month, they had taken their vengeance .
If it hadn’t been for Long Chen giving everyone a reminder, perhaps some people really might have been lost their reasoning within their fury and beat the two of them to death .
But although no one had done that, those fellows had not been kind at all . They avoided vital spots, but they also made it so that they wouldn’t pa.s.s out, causing them to see and suffer all their beatings without being able to do anything . Seeing the two of them want to cough up blood from their rage, everyone’s felt much more free and relieved .
Due to their heavy injuries, Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin were sent directly back to the Healing Hall for some senior disciples to heal .
But even their senior disciples would probably require over a week to let them be able to walk out .
The rankings were already announced . The Heaven Earth Faction’s alliance took the top five spots .
The other rankings were left to Guan Wennan and them . As for who was what exact rank, that would be up to them to decide .
Wen Guannan looked at all this with a complicated look . Seeing the Heaven Earth Faction lead their people away, he also brought his people away .
Other than the heavily injured being sent to the Healing Hall, the others would all be fine after just one or two days of recovery .
When everyone had scattered, a large group of people came over . That group was those people who had decided to stay behind despite failing the disciple trials .
They were not disciples of the monastery . They could only count as some workers and could only receive a meager amount of resources .
And yet they had no complaints . That was because they had seen an even broader world after coming to the monastery . It was at such a place that they could temper themselves .
Seeing that group of people busily cleaning, Ling Yun-zi frowned slightly, seeming to think of some distant memories .
“Long Chen’s lack attack seemed somewhat familiar . But I actually can’t remember where I’ve seen it before . Perhaps I’ve just heard about it somewhere,” Ling Yun-zi muttered to himself .
“That attack is extremely frightening . But I have a strange feeling that Long Chen is unable to completely wield its entire strength .
“According to normal cultivation standards, a powerful Battle Skill cannot be used without a powerful cultivation base . It isn’t that you’re unable to use it, but simply that your meridians wouldn’t be able to endure using it .
“But Long Chen’s attack is still far from reaching that move’s true power . It really is curious . ” Tu Fang also nodded .
The two of them were the monastery’s strongest experts . Ling Yun-zi had even stepped into the legendary Xiantian realm, and yet he was still unable to see through the origins of Long Chen’s attack .
This time Long Chen slept very well . It really was excellent to sleep at home . After all, even with his courage, the last two months he had been scared for almost every single second .
There was no way around it . In that kind of place, Long Chen was near the bottom of the food chain . A slight mistake would lead to death .
In the past two months, he had never had a good night’s sleep . Everyday he had crazily increased his cultivation base, increasing the chance that he would be able to survive .
He slept for a full three days before finally awakening, feeling completely full of energy and excitement .
As soon as he walked out of his room, he saw Qing Yu and Tang Wan-er cultivating . He immediately startled the two out of their meditation .
“Sorry to disturb you,” apologized Long Chen .
“We weren’t in a true meditative state . We’ve been waiting for you this whole time . Come, sit . Sister Qing Yu prepared a bunch of delicacies for you as a reward . ” Tang Wan-er pulled Long Chen over, smiling brightly .
“Really? I didn’t even know sister Qing Yu could cook,” exclaimed Long Chen .
“Hehe, I bet you didn’t know sister Qing Yu’s cooking skill can be praised as top cla.s.s . She’s never let anyone else know that . This time sister Qing Yu only decided to cook for you as your reward,” laughed Tang Wan-er .
Qing Yu smiled and returned to the kitchen . Or Long Chen supposed she had, since he had no idea where the kitchen even was in here .
Tang Wan-er smiling continued looking at Long Chen . She didn’t say anything more . It seemed as if quietly looking at Long Chen was actually something quite enjoyable for her .
“Beauty Wan-er, if you look at me with some adoration I really will get embarra.s.sed . Have you finally thought it over and decided to give your heart to me?” suddenly asked Long Chen .
“You wis.h.!.+” Tang Wan-er angrily rapped Long Chen . “When will you stop being so infuriatingly flippant?”
Other than when fighting and killing, it seemed this scoundrel never could be serious, annoying Tang Wan-er endlessly . You wouldn’t even be able to talk to him properly for more than a few seconds before he irritated her enough to want to beat him up .
“Then do you like it when I’m flippant or do you like me serious?” laughed Long Chen .
“Of course I like it when you- . . . scoundrel, don’t even bother with that! Who would ever like you?!” Tang Wan-er almost fell for it before cutting herself off .
Looking at her light fury, for some reason Long Chen felt he really liked it when she was like that . Did that mean he was a bit abnormal?
Just as Long Chen’s was pondering over whether his own beauty standards had problems, Qing Yu returned .
There were over a dozen piping hot dishes releasing a fragrance that made him drool . Long Chen’s stomach rumbled loudly .
Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu laughed . Long Chen explained with some embarra.s.sment, “Other than Magical Beast meat, I didn’t have anything else to eat in the last two months . For the first month it was alright, but then it really was starting to get disgusting . Hehe, I finally get to eat something good . ”
Qing Yu sighed, “Long Chen, this time it really was hard on you . ”
Once Qing Yu said that, Tang Wan-er’s eyes turned red . Long Chen hastily said, “What was so hard about it? It was just a little journey . Quick, eat before I starve to death . ”
Long Chen laughed and directly picked up a mouthful of food . Originally he was just planning on changing the subject, but the instant he tasted that food, his eyes immediately lit up . From that moment on, his chopsticks never left his hands and his mouth was never empty as he crazily stuffed himself .
Qing Yu’s cooking skill really was top-notch . Furthermore she had also added in many vegetables to the dishes, which made Long Chen who had constantly been eating meat to become like a ravenous wolf .
Seeing Long Chen wildly devour his food, Qing Yu was delighted . She and Tang Wan-er ate together with him .
After eating, Long Chen felt he really was unable to stuff anything more down . Even just opening his mouth, he felt his throat was still full of her delicious food .
Long Chen belched and patted his stomach, completely satisfied . Suddenly he cast a vague glance at Tang Wan-er .
“Sister Wan-er, I’ve got something fun to do with you that you mentioned before . ” Long Chen smiled at Tang Wan-er mysteriously .
