Chapter 14 The Final Contest The compet.i.tion in the Chen family now entered the final stage and Chen Feng’s performance had greatly exceeded all their expectations. After defeating Chen Song completely, he also successfully defeated a master at the Ling nature level to enter the finals. The other two in the finals were Chen Lei and Chen Jian. As the elder brother of Chen Feng, Chen Lei had reached the Ling shape level two years ago. Not only in the Chen family, but also throughout the whole Continent, he was known as a master of martial arts. Although Chen Jian didn’t reveal his real strength, Chen Feng knew he was also very powerful in spite of the Ling nature level—someone who could even challenge and defeat the masters of the Ling shape level. It was because he felt an extraordinary quality from Chen Jian, which could only be sensed without being explained clearly. Only the masters of the Ling sense level could understand the hidden mystery; Chen Feng had sensed that from Chen Jian. It was proven that Chen Jian had such a high talent that he deserved the reputation of ‘genius.’ "Now there are only three of you to fight in pairs until the final champion is decided. As for the order, it’s up to you." Chen Jian glanced at Chen Lei and Chen Feng with a sly expression and said, "Chen Feng, I already challenged you three days ago. It seemed that you hid your actual strength then. I don’t think we need to fight anymore." Chen Feng nodded. What Chen Jian had said was reasonable. While Chen Lei was left confused, Chen Jian added, “Chen Lei, we have challenged each other many times. Since you have reached the Ling shape level now, I know I am no match for you. It’s impossible for me to win, so why don’t you and Chen Feng challenge each other? The winner will surely be the champion of the Chen Family compet.i.tion.” “Eh? Chen Jian, you said that on purpose?” Chen Lei said in astonishment. “Aha, whether I said that on purpose or not, I just want to see the rivalry between you two brothers.” With these words, Chen Jian stomped the ground with his toes and quickly jumped to the auditorium. Chen Feng forced a smile and said, “Brother, it seems that the rivalry between us is inevitable now.” “Aha! Come on, I also want to check your actual strength after the self-cultivation.” Without hesitation, Chen Lei prepared for the rivalry instantly with a Ling sword forming in his hands. “Interesting. Chen Lei is actually very powerful. At the midterm of the Ling shape level, he even defeated some masters at the peak of the Ling shape level, so it’s not difficult for him to defeat Chen Feng," Tang Ao said with a smile. Although Chen Feng seemed very mysterious, there was no fluke when one fights against real masters like Chen Lei. Chen Xiong also nodded and said, “I only hope he can fight more rounds. I know the actual strength of Chen Lei very well. It’s a little hard for Chen Feng to defeat him now; he could only manage it if he could make a breakthrough to reach the Ling nature level.” Bang! With the sword forces overflowing, the stones around Chen Feng were smashed and rows of holes were drilled into the ground as Chen Feng stood there, still. Whirl! A gust of sword force swept across. Chen Feng fixed his eyes and pulled out the golden sword to dissipate the incoming force. However, his body was still pushed a few steps backward. “My third younger brother, you’d better take action now, otherwise you will have no chance!” Chen Lei shouted. Chen Feng still stared at the front; he could successfully escape Chen Lei’s every attack by remaining motionless. In just a few rounds, Chen Feng knew the gap between their different levels. He said to himself silently, He is indeed a master of the Ling shape level. It seems that he is quite close to the Ling sense level now. It’s almost impossible to defeat him, but I won’t let it be too easy for him to win. “Golden Sun Thunder Sword Art! Great Forces!” A low sound suddenly occurred and a golden light lashed out behind Chen Feng. Everything had been shattered by the sword light and there was a clear scratch on the ground. "Cool! A fierce sword!" Chen Lei praised and his eyes were full of a dignified look, which had not shown up for a long time. The swordsmanship was obviously very powerful. Boom! Chen Lei was shocked as he was pushed backward a few steps by the sword’s force. "The strength of the golden sword is so powerful! Where did he learn such a powerful swordsmanship?" Chen Lei felt puzzled and his hands suddenly jerked to release the Ling force which could only be exerted by a pract.i.tioner of the Ling shape level. Soon the force of the Golden Sun Thunder Sword Art disappeared. Chen Feng was shocked. "So forceful! Try again; I want to see how powerful the Ling shape level is. I don"t believe that I can’t break your defense." Something inside seemed to be shattering and the forces inside Chen Feng’s body were running wild with blood and vitality, as well as the sword power condensed in the Qihai acupoint. “Hey! Here comes the power!” Chen Feng roared and jumped up like a cannonball. He suddenly threw the sword out of his hands while a piece of Ling force was closely linked with him at the sword handle. Weapon control! Only a master at the Ling shape level could do that. However, Chen Feng tried to control the weapon through the Ling durability level inside his body. Although the Ling force was very weak, something strange had already occurred at that time. “Eh? Something’s wrong. How come the pract.i.tioner at the Ling durability level can realize the force of the Ling shape level?” “Feng, I didn’t expect that your swordsmanship had reached such a high level.” An incredible expression also appeared on Tang Xiaoxiao’s face as he said, “Ah? How come his breath has changed? Is he still the pract.i.tioner of the Ling durability level?” Cool! Chen Lei praised secretly and then shouted to break out the force of the Ling shape level. His fingers changed into the shape of a claw to quickly gather the Ling force in the air. Soon two huge claws were formed in front with enough raging power to break the gold and stone while he kept still with inviolability. If Chen Feng were a sword out of a scabbard, then Chen Lei would undoubtedly be a mountain that pressed down against him with a heavy breath. “Thunder kill! To destroy everything.” A golden light flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes and the golden handle suddenly started to rotate in the air with a few m.u.f.fled cracks of thunder. A trace of lightning was looming in the clouds, which made it seem like the punishment by the G.o.d of thunder had shocked the heavens and the earth. “Ah! Go!” Chen Feng shouted. Everything that had been exploded with fierce thunder and lighting above Chen Lei continuously pressed down upon him. Cold sweat appeared on Chen Lei’s forehead and the invisible pressure in the air almost made him shudder. However, as a man having experienced so many battlefields, he quickly calmed down. Looking at the thunder and lightning in the sky, there was a hint of fineness in his eyes. "Ling force in the sky, with invincible power!” Like a laser, in Chen Lei’s hands suddenly formed a light column, which was formed with powerful Ling force. The whole arena was then shrouded by the light and even Chen Feng had to admire him at this moment. “I cannot move?” Chen Feng was startled because the light column was so mysterious that his body had been tightly locked and he couldn’t move at all. "What’s going on? It unexpectedly made me lose all my strength. My elder brother is just at the Ling shape level. Has a pract.i.tioner at such a level become this powerful? Does it mean that it’s a piece of cake for him to defeat someone at the Ling durability level?” Chen Feng constantly thought about how to escape, but failed. However, Chen Lei was also very tired after releasing the light column. He braced himself up and said to Chen Feng, “Third younger brother, don’t try to escape. It’s not so easy, since the light column contains the Ling force. Even the pract.i.tioner at the Ling nature level cannot escape it if he is trapped by the column.” “Really? I don’t believe it!” Chen Feng replied stubbornly with great anger and faint redness in his eyes. . .
