In that dark and cold seabed, Xiao Chen's mental state had been tempered to a horrifying level, much stronger than that of several older-generation cultivators.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and said calmly, "This Xiao has heard of your name for a long time already. The Heavenly Spiritual Body was a peak physique even during the Ancient Era. As one's cultivation increased, their combat prowess would increase by leaps and bounds.
"Now that you have reached the Blue Robed Emperor realm, I believe that Brother Di's Heavenly Spiritual Body has improved by another level."
Di Xinhan revealed a proud expression. He did not comment on Xiao Chen's words. He said, "Not to mention anything else, just in terms of physical body, I believe that no one in the same generation can compare to me, including Brother Xiao.
"But I don't like to play tricks, to compare my strengths with other people's weaknesses, and to be pleased with myself after winning."
Clearly, Di Xinhan's words had a deeper meaning. He was referring to Young Master Qingshu. He disdained playing such tricks.
"Today, when I fought with Brother Xiao, I knew that I could not defeat you, so I did not ask for too much. As long as I can force Brother Xiao to draw his saber, it will be worth it. "
Di Xinhan appeared very magnanimous, not arrogant at all. In the earlier battles, Xiao Chen had already used his actions to prove his strength.
There was no need to admit that he was not as good as the other party.
Xiao Chen liked Di Xinhan's lofty sentiments. Among the many Holy Scions, Di Xinhan was indeed a true man.
"Actually, in the Kunlun Continent, before the King conferral ceremony, I relied on the advantage of my physical body to make a name for myself among the same generation. Today, when I see Brother Di, I do not wish for anything else but to experience the might of the Heavenly Spiritual Body. "
Di Xinhan immediately understood. "You want to fight me purely with the physical body?!"
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "That's right. Just the physical body, nothing else."
After saying that, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He circulated the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art, and a complete Battle Armor formed from pure Blue Dragon Energy covered Xiao Chen's entire body.
The battle armor was engraved with Blue Dragon patterns. It flickered with light and gave off a heroic aura.
Di Xinhan originally thought that Xiao Chen was joking. He was very clear on how horrifying his Heavenly Spiritual Body was.
However, when he saw the azure-colored Battle Armor slowly appear on Xiao Chen's body, his expression slowly turned grave.
When the Battle Armor took shape, Xiao Chen's expression no longer showed any signs of relaxation. He smiled bitterly and said, "I take back what I said earlier. However, I am confident that I still have a fifty percent chance of winning if we compete in physical strength."
Xiao Chen said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm sure I can defeat Brother Di in one move if we compare moves. However, among my peers, I've never competed purely in terms of physical body. There's no other reason but because there's really no one who can match me. I believe you can understand my feelings, Brother Di. "
Di Xinhan could not help laughing loudly. He had truly found a confidant. Among those of the same generation, Di Xinhan had never competed in physical strength with anyone. Similarly, he could not find an opponent in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
"Very well. Today, this Di will compete with Brother Xiao. Let's see whether your Blue Dragon War Body or my Heavenly Spiritual Body is stronger."
Right after Di Xinhan spoke, he drove the Heavenly Spiritual Body. A set of sky-blue Battle Armor appeared on his body as well. This Battle Armor was formed purely from Heavenly Spiritual Energy. It looked solid and thick.
Xiao Chen wanted to compete in physical strength with Di Xinhan. Now, the crowd, which had been calm for a long time, could not help turning restless.
Di Xinhan's physical body was famous in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. No one doubted that he was the strongest within the same generation.
Xiao Chen really picked whichever bone was the hardest. In an instant, victory became hard to predict. This piqued the interest of countless people.
Although many people did not say anything, their impression of Xiao Chen had already changed significantly.
Although Xiao Chen's words were somewhat unconvincing, his tone did not contain any arrogance. Instead, his words were solid and filled with strength.
Every time he won, he defeated his opponent with a great advantage. However, in all these battles, no one had ever seen Xiao Chen become arrogant after a victory.
On the contrary, the many outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, who came out with surging auras, ended up making fools of themselves.
Honestly speaking, it was hard for anyone to be unconvinced of such an expert.
This was especially so now. Xiao Chen's conversation with Di Xinhan was very polite and restrained. Everyone could see the side of Xiao Chen that craved a challenge.
Even a Consummation quasi-Emperor would not dare to say such a thing when competing with the Heavenly Spiritual Body with the physical body.
However, Xiao Chen did this, rising to the challenge and facing it head-on.
"Brother Xiao, are you ready?" Di Xinhan asked. Di Xinhan's Heavenly Spiritual Body was a special physique that he was born with. Xiao Chen's Blue Dragon War Body was acquired.
Right now, there was not much difference between the two. However, when it came to the convenience of moving Vital Qi, the acquired Xiao Chen would be slower than Di Xinhan, no matter what.
Hence, Di Xinhan's question was to let Xiao Chen have a fair fight.
After a while, the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art circulated through his meridians. Then, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "That's enough."
The two bowed to each other again and moved back one kilometer. The instant they landed, all their auras burst forth.
Azure-colored Heaven Dragons came out of Xiao Chen's body. This was a mysterious phenomenon formed by pure Vital Qi.
The huge Heaven Dragon swam behind Xiao Chen. Ten dragons danced around, stirring up winds and clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared endlessly, causing the sky to change color.
Di Xinhan's aura was no weaker than Xiao Chen's. Ten faint blue Heaven Dragons swam around his body. Strong winds suddenly formed in the surroundings.
The winds howled back and forth in the sky, creating several horrifying bolts of lightning.
The two showed stern and stern expressions as they shouted a war cry. Then, they quickly ran at each other.
Di Xinhan's body was like a tall mountain. With every step he took, he left a complete footprint on the ground. The entire arena shook intensely.
The mysterious phenomenon was even more horrifying. Before the two approached, the two different auras clashed with each other in midair. It was hard to tell who would win.
The heavy footsteps sounded like thunder, making the hearts of all the cultivators present pound heavily.
Since the Blue Dragon King Xiao Chen ascended to the highest arena, this was the most difficult battle for the crowd to determine the victor. Who would win and who would lose was very worrying.
If someone were to look down from the sky, they would discover that the depth of the footprints left behind by the two men was almost the same.
However, at the corners, Xiao Chen's footprints were round and traceless. As for Di Xinhan's footprints, tiny cracks appeared at the edges.
Before the crowd's anticipation, the two quickly approached each other. Who would win and who would lose would be revealed in the next moment.
"Boom!"
The strong clash happened in an instant.
These two were peak experts of the same generation with strong physical bodies. One could not find an opponent in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, and the other could not find an opponent in the Kunlun Continent.
As for who was stronger and who was weaker, it affected everyone's hearts.
As the wind and clouds changed, a huge explosion rang out from the arena. Tiny cracks appeared in the void, as if space was about to be torn apart.
Berserk dragons soared and danced around chaotically. In merely one breath, the victor was decided.
Di Xinhan retreated quickly, and cracks appeared in his Battle Armor. Then, it shattered, and he fell to the ground with disheveled hair. Then, he staggered back a few more steps until he was only a hair's breadth away from the edge of the arena.
Xiao Chen took ten steps back, and blood leaked out of a corner of his lips. He coughed and vomited another three mouthfuls of blood. Clearly, he was severely injured.
In this kind of head-on confrontation, it was almost impossible for one to not be injured.
Xiao Chen clearly knew that using such a method to fight was disadvantageous to him. However, he still chose to do so without hesitation.
Aside from the desire in his heart, Xiao Chen also wanted to prove to the Lunar Palace's judges that he, Xiao Chen, could defeat anyone in the Heavenly Starry Ocean using the method that the other party was best at.
He wanted to make the Lunar Palace's judges speechless. He wanted to take away the Dragon's Gate's final mountain tablet in this world.
Even if Xiao Chen got injured, he would not hesitate to be arrogant for once. So what if he challenged the various Martial Sages?
Di Xinhan paled, looking even more miserable than Xiao Chen's. He smiled bitterly and said, "My Heavenly Spiritual Body is not weaker than your Blue Dragon War Body. Unfortunately, my control over my strength is much weaker."
As Di Xinhan spoke, he vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood. However, he did not show much dismay on his face. Instead, he appeared very carefree.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "My Blue Dragon War Body is acquired. Your Heavenly Spiritual Body is innate. In terms of control over my strength, I am definitely stronger than you."
The reason was easy to explain. For the sake of cultivating the Blue Dragon War Body, Xiao Chen needed to continuously test and temper himself.
The innate Heavenly Spiritual Body did not require much testing. It was there from birth. All he needed to do was strengthen and raise his cultivation.
Xiao Chen did not stop speaking. He continued, "However, in reality, an innate Heavenly Spiritual Body is much more convenient. If you did not give me time to prepare at the start, the victor would be hard to predict."
Di Xinhan smiled and said, "The Blue Dragon King is too humble. Even if I did not give you time to prepare, my chances of defeating you would still be very slim. Your fine control over your strength is much stronger than mine. "
"In this battle, I, Di Xinhan, accept my defeat wholeheartedly. I finally saw the weakness of the Heavenly Spiritual Body. In the future, after I fix it, I will definitely fight with you again."
After saying that, Di Xinhan turned around and left in a free and easy manner.
Defeated. Di Xinhan also lost. Furthermore, he lost to his strongest point, in one move.
Such an ending was very dispiriting. Xiao Chen did not even have the chance to draw his saber.
Such a situation appeared in the ten-thousand-year Four Seas Hero Gathering, turning it into a stage for outsiders. It was easy to imagine the bitterness in the hearts of the cultivators in Bright Moon Plaza.
However, although they felt bitter, the many cultivators no longer felt much hatred or jealousy for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's actions were not cheap tricks. Although his words were arrogant, he relied on his true strength to win every battle. No one could deny that.
"Whoosh!"
This time, they did not have to wait for long. A person quickly flew down from the jade pavilion. It was the Five Poison Sect's Holy Son, Chen Lin.
Why was it that after Xiao Chen defeated his opponent in one move, the crowd paused for a long time before Di Xinhan made his appearance?
This battle had only just ended when Chen Lin rushed over to kill his opponent.
The reason was simple. Xiao Chen was injured. Strictly speaking, his injuries were not light.
