Indeed, Xiao Chen was serious, not feigning at all. He directly used the Primordial Energy that only Martial Emperors possessed.
"Pu ci!" The beast skin cultivator was immediately knocked back and vomited blood. He fell into the pond outside the pavilion and splashed up. Then, he never came out again, his fate unknown.
Such a scene sent a chill down everyone's spine. At the same time, they felt somewhat angry. Why did the bona fide Emperor Wu make a move without saying anything?
Xiao Chen thought to himself, I got lucky. Fortunately, I was cautious. Otherwise, even if I could receive this sudden palm strike, I would not have ended up well. When Xiao Chen saw the beast skin cultivator fall into the water, he felt some schadenfreude. After all, this fellow had taken the lead in mocking him.
Old Hong said indifferently, "Don't scold me in your heart. He will not die. I held back. There are too many uncertain dangers in the Distant Sea Dragon Grave. The guards of the Dragon Grave will not give you a heads up before making a move. If you do not have the ability to adapt, you can leave now. "
The many half-step Emperor Wu remained silent for a while. They felt that Old Hong's words made some sense.
"I'll do it!"
After a while, a middle-aged man with burn marks on his face walked out. This time, Xiao Chen was prepared. When he stepped forward, he circulated all his Law Energy and activated the peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasure he wore.
Old Hong did not waste any words. He also sent out a palm strike that looked simple but could easily crush a mountain.
Another muffled bang rang out, and one could see that the space where the palms met began to crack like a black spider web.
The middle-aged man took ten steps back. With each step, he vomited a mouthful of blood. After ten steps, he knelt on one knee and wobbled. His complexion was frighteningly pale.
Just as the middle-aged man looked like he was about to fall, his strong willpower allowed him to clench his teeth and roar ferociously as he stood up.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he felt shocked. What kind of persistence did this fellow have to be able to stand up after kneeling down?
"You pass."
Old Hong casually waved his hand. He did not care that this person no longer had any combat prowess. As long as he could stand up, he would let him pass.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with the scar on his face heaved a sigh of relief and lay down.
The test continued. Every time Senior Hong made a move, he would use 30% of his strength, neither more nor less.
Some of them knelt down and couldn't stand up again. Some of them were directly blasted away by a palm strike and fell into the pool, following in the footsteps of the beast-skinned man.
Emperor Wu, who was standing on the side, was cold and expressionless. Facing the half-step Emperor Wu who was kneeling on the ground and gritting his teeth, he didn't show any emotion. Looking at the half-step Emperor Wu, it was as if he was inspecting the goods.
As Xiao Chen looked at the half-step Martial Emperors charging forward, his heart turned cold. He no longer had the schadenfreude that he had earlier.
If one did not advance to Martial Emperor, one would be like a pig or a dog in the eyes of some people.
More than twenty people finished the test, and only six people passed. The passing rate was far less than half.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was the only one who had not taken the test yet, everyone focused their attention on him. Senior Hong glanced at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, "You may leave. I will not lower my standards just because you are a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. If I kill you by mistake, this old man will gain a bad reputation for bullying the younger generation. I will be mocked by the people in this circle. "
This was blatant disdain. Senior Hong did not spare Xiao Chen out of pity but because he feared a bad reputation.
A sense of defeat welled up in Xiao Chen's heart. Among those of the same generation, he stood proudly. However, in the eyes of Emperor Wu, he was still like an ant.
However, Xiao Chen was never one to be defeated by setbacks. His path to the peak had never wavered.
"There's no need. Senior, feel free to send out this palm strike."
Under the mask, Xiao Chen stepped forward with his head held high. He did not lower his head or bend his back as he looked straight at the other party.
A feeling of pride flowed in Xiao Chen's chest. Everyone has their own pride. Even if you are a Martial Emperor, I will not cower in fear or lower my voice.
Even after so many half-step Emperor Wu were beaten to the ground, Xiao Chen could still step forward with his head held high, neither servile nor overbearing. This attracted many people's attention.
The expressions of the people lying on the ground changed. They did not know where this mysterious masked person got his confidence from.
A strange light flashed in Senior Hong's eyes. He felt somewhat displeased in his heart as he said coldly, "You asked for this. Don't blame me for being ruthless if I kill you with one palm strike."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "If I die, how can I blame you? If Senior wants to make a move, then make a move."
When these words came out, the half-step Emperor Wu who was healing on the ground could not help but laugh. Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen was in the mood to tease, not knowing how to describe this young man.
"In that case, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Senior Hong snorted coldly and quickly attacked. His seemingly plain palm strike moved like lightning, heading for Xiao Chen's chest.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. In the short instant that the other party attacked, he clearly saw that the other party had indeed used ten strands of Primordial Energy. However, each strand was pure and condensed, containing the attribute of fire.
Instantly, Xiao Chen started thinking very quickly in his mind.
Ten strands of Primordial Energy. Xiao Chen happened to have ten strands of Primordial Energy as well. If he used all of them, he could block this palm strike with light injuries. However, that would expose his trump card of having Primordial Energy as well.
Xiao Chen's physical body had already reached the level of a half-step Golden Body. After condensing the Blue Dragon Battle Armor, in terms of defense, he could rival an ordinary Emperor Wu's Golden Body. However, there was a difference in recovery rate, so he could block this palm strike.
However, Xiao Chen could not condense the Blue Dragon Battle Armor. Otherwise, Yi Ling would recognize him with one glance. Back then, when Xiao Chen used the Blue Dragon Battle Armor to fight the Myriad Fiend Island's Di Xinhan's Heavenly Spiritual Body, Yi Ling had seen it. It was impossible for him not to know.
Xiao Chen had to think of a way to not expose his Blue Dragon Battle Armor or his Primordial Energy.
In that case, that was all he could do.
Determination flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he did something that no one expected. When facing Senior Hong's palm strike with thirty percent of his strength, Xiao Chen took another step forward and suddenly punched.
That was right. When Xiao Chen faced a First Heaven Martial Emperor expert like Emperor Wu, he chose to use offense as defense.
When Xiao Chen punched, he drove the twenty Dragon Force flowing in his body. A dragon roar sounded like rushing thunder. Dragon-shaped energy surged wildly in the small pavilion.
When the berserk punch struck Senior Hong's palm, it was like it struck an immovable mountain. The other party did not move at all. The palm wind carried his body as it pressed towards Xiao Chen.
The dragon roar in Xiao Chen's body was interrupted. The spinning dragon-shaped energy behind him also shattered, turning into a strong, chaotic wind that scattered in all directions.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood and took a step back. As he looked at Senior Hong, who showed a cold smile and did not change his stance, he roared ferociously, "Again!"
Xiao Chen punched again and struck that ordinary palm strike. Then, he took another step back. The rebound injured Xiao Chen once more, injuring him once more.
This time, the amount of blood he vomited was twice as much as the previous time. The two punches did not seem to have any effect. Senior Hong's palm strike did not stop at all. It only weakened slightly as it continued to press towards Xiao Chen.
"Again!"
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and frowned under the mask. Then, he gathered twenty Dragon Force again and punched with his left hand.
Loud rumbling sounds rang out. Every time Xiao Chen took a step back, he vomited a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he punched again, doing what others would think was useless.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen took ten steps back. The entire manor shook under Xiao Chen's roar. However, this manor was clearly extraordinary. There was a strong restriction. Otherwise, the pavilion would have been destroyed in the first test.
"This fellow!"
Everyone's expression turned grave. Whether it was the half-step Emperor Wu who failed or the half-step Emperor Wu who passed, shock flashed in their eyes.
This was because they were shocked to discover that under Xiao Chen's punches, the aura of Senior Hong's palm strike weakened significantly.
Starting from the seventh punch, Senior Hong's body paused for a moment, visible to the naked eye.
However, the price he paid was also extremely disastrous. With every punch, the masked young man's injuries would become even more severe. After nine punches, the injuries stacked on top of each other. No one knew what the consequences would be.
This was indeed a method. However, if it were them, they would not dare to try it.
"Bang!"
Another punch flew out. Xiao Chen, who had already retreated to the edge of the pavilion, relied on his willpower to send out this final punch.
Twenty Dragon Force surged in Xiao Chen's body. Dragon-shaped energy spiraled rapidly in the pond, causing waves to surge.
This time, the dragon roar in Xiao Chen's body did not get interrupted. The twenty dragon-shaped energy streams behind him did not scatter, either.
All this was because Senior Hong's palm strike had run out of energy.
A strong wind howled and the dragon roar sounded. Xiao Chen's punch blocked the palm strike that had run out of energy. Instead, it forced the other party to take a step back.
Senior Hong was startled and furious. He wanted to send out another palm strike to kill this stubborn youth before him.
However, when he thought about how many people were watching and how he said that he would only use thirty percent of his strength, he retracted his hand in frustration.
He retracted his hand angrily and flashed back.
After looking at Xiao Chen for three seconds and seeing that the other party did not collapse, Senior Hong snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction. "Very good. You passed."
The surroundings fell silent. No one expected Xiao Chen to pass the test. Furthermore, he even forced the exhausted Senior Hong to take a step back. Although Senior Hong was definitely not injured, a Consummation Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor knocked back Emperor Wu.
If word of this got out, it would definitely shock the world and cause a huge commotion.
More importantly, Xiao Chen was standing. As for the people in front of him, regardless of whether they passed the test or not, they all fell to their knees after receiving this palm strike. Either they fell to the ground and could not get up, or they gritted their teeth and stood up.
However, from the start to the end, Xiao Chen did not kneel, even though he was clearly severely injured.
If these people knew that Xiao Chen could receive this palm strike with light injuries if he wanted to, who knew what their expressions would be like?
After Xiao Chen scattered his vast Vital Qi, the dragon roar stopped, and the strong wind scattered. Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to check his injuries. His internal organs were all shattered, and several of his meridians had ruptured.
