"Ah?"
"There's a result …"
"Handong!"
"Chen Hao!" "Brother Hao!" "Brother!" "Boss!"
Four hours after the end of the competition, Chen Hao, who was the center of attention, suddenly woke up.
At this moment, Venerable Immortal Han Mei and Fan Suixin's people cried out in surprise and nervousness. Judging from the aura, no one could be sure whether it was Chen Hao or Fang Handong who had woken up.
The aura of the Immortal Sword Principle and the Destruction Sword Principle were still intertwined. Logically speaking, it was impossible to wake up at this time. Although the aura was weak, it was obvious that the winner had not been decided yet. However, he had woken up and controlled his physical body.
What did this mean?
Between Chen Hao and Fang Handong, one of them had already won the battle with ease!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to split his attention to control his physical body at this time. He wouldn't have been able to do it!
…
"Who do you think it is?"
"I don't know … It's more likely to be Fang Handong, right? After all, Fang Handong deliberately let Chen Hao destroy his physical body and take over his body … "
"Yes, it must be Fang Handong."
"It should be Chen Hao. This Chen Hao showed his terrifying strength ten years ago and did many incredible things. Although he was in a coma for ten years, his soul was obviously not injured. This means that the rumors about him being in a coma may be just an excuse for him to practice in seclusion … "
…
Not only Venerable Han Mei and Fan Suixin, but also everyone present, including the Vice Dean of Elite Academy X, stared nervously at Chen Hao, who was slowly getting up, with doubts in their hearts.
However, except for Venerable Han Mei and those who were familiar with Chen Hao, more than half of the people thought that Fang Handong had a higher chance of winning. There was also a very small number of people who did not know Chen Hao but had heard of Chen Hao's deeds ten years ago. They thought that Chen Hao had a higher chance of winning.
…
"Phew …"
Under everyone's gaze, "Chen Hao" let out a long sigh.
A faint smile appeared on Chen Hao's face as he looked at the people outside the light screen who were shouting at him with nervous expressions.
Chi!
Empyrean Yuanru's protective light shield suddenly disappeared.
"Are you Chen Hao?"
Heavenly Venerate Yuanru floated in front of Chen Hao. His eyes were as vast as the ocean as he stared at Chen Hao in confusion. His voice wasn't loud, but it drifted into everyone's ears. The cultivators who had been speculating and discussing earlier all held their breaths, waiting for "Chen Hao's" answer.
Who was the winner?
Or rather, who had the absolute advantage for the time being?
"Yes. Thank you for your protection, Senior. Can I go now? "Chen Hao cupped his fists and bowed. He looked at the light shield that was protecting and imprisoning him.
* Crash … *
Chen Hao's answer instantly ignited the entire Martial Arts Practice Field.
"Impossible! Impossible! How could you suppress the strength of Han Dong's soul? How is this possible? "
Fan Suixin, whose heart was in his throat, felt like he was on a roller coaster. His mood changed from despair to hope. However, after a short four hours of waiting, the result was …
This old man went crazy again. He roared as if he had gone mad …
On the other hand, Venerable Han Mei and Venerable Yun Wei let out a long sigh of relief. Chen Hao's brothers and sisters screamed excitedly and danced with joy.
"You're welcome. However, you can't leave for the time being … "Empyrean Yuanru said.
"Why? The outcome has been decided. Moreover, he brought it upon himself. It has nothing to do with me. Senior, I didn't violate the rules of the competition, right? "Chen Hao frowned.
"If Old Man didn't stop you, you definitely didn't violate the rules. However … did you really win? If Old Man didn't guess wrong, you should have the upper hand, right? "
"Yes! It's only a matter of time before I completely refine and destroy him! "Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
"You're wrong. Your soul power is similar to Fang Handong's. Both of you have reached the peak of the Later Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage. The reason why you have the upper hand is that it's in your body. Otherwise, you might not be the one controlling the body now. Moreover, in a battle of souls, especially a battle of possession like yours, the deciding factor is not only soul power … It's still hard to predict who will win in the end … "Empyrean Yuanru said calmly.
…
"Yes! Empyrean Yuanru, we can't let him leave! "
"Yes, we can't let him leave! The final winner will be Senior Brother Fang! "
"Fang Handong will win!"
…
"Old Man doesn't favor anyone. If Fang Handong was the one controlling the body now, Old Man wouldn't let him leave either. You should understand what Old Man means, right? Both of you are cultivation geniuses that only appear once in a thousand years. No matter who wins in the end, the ancestor may take you in as his personal disciple … This old man doesn't want any accidents to happen, so this old man will send you to my grotto-heaven until the outcome is decided … During this period of time, this old man can guarantee your safety. No matter who it is, they won't be able to interfere with you … Of course, I'm no exception … "
"Alright." Chen Hao nodded.
Chen Hao could feel that Empyrean Yuanru was not lying. He had no ill intentions toward him. That was indeed the case. Think about it, if Dongfang Han was the one in control now and he was allowed to leave with Fan Suixin, even if Chen Hao won, he would probably be killed by Fan Suixin. Similarly, if Dongfang Han had won in Winter Plum Hall, Immortal Venerable Han Mei would have killed him.
Therefore, Empyrean Yuanru's decision was undoubtedly the fairest.
One of the two geniuses that only appeared once in a thousand years was destined to be lost. How could Empyrean Yuanru allow both to be lost?
…
"Brother Hao!" "Brother!" "Boss!"
When Chen Hao was carried into the air by Empyrean Yuanru, the Leng sisters, Chen Yan, Chen Nan, Huyan Aobo, and the others all called out to him. Empyrean Yuanru's words made them feel conflicted again.
"Don't worry, I'll be back …"
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth curled up slightly with a faint smile. His bright eyes were filled with confidence as he swept his gaze across the crowd. Under the lead of Heavenly Venerate Yuanru, he directly disappeared from everyone's sight.
…
Night fell.
Winter Plum Hall and Yunwei Hall. The two Immortal Venerables and all their disciples were gathered in the side courtyards arranged by the Elite Academy.
"Master, the battle of souls … How long will it take for the victor to be decided?"
"We're not sure … In a situation where there's a huge difference in strength, it won't take long, from a few minutes to a few hours, to completely destroy the soul of the other party. However, Chen Hao and Fang Handong's souls have both entered the Earth Immortal Realm … The soul of an Earth Immortal has reached the level of materialization and crystallization. No matter who it is, it won't be easy to completely destroy the other party. I'm afraid it'll take a long time … At least a few months, at most … a few years … Also …"
"Also what?"
"If the other party's will is firm, and the difference in soul strength isn't that great, it's impossible to destroy them … The only way is to completely shatter their souls and reassemble them. This is also a method that no one dares to use for possession — Soul Fusion! If it fails, both parties will die together. If it succeeds, one of them will take the lead, and life and death will no longer matter … This kind of soul fusion process usually results in a mutation, and there are two results. One is that after the mutation, the will, temperament, and soul strength will all increase. The other is … going crazy and becoming a two-faced person! However, the probability of this happening is very small … At this point, it's useless for us to worry, we can only wait … "Venerable Han Mei said.
"Yes, we can only wait! However, I believe that the final victor will be Chen Hao! [This kid has never let us down … The situation ten years ago is the best proof!] It's only a matter of time! "Venerable Yun Wei said.
…
In the courtyard of Limitless Demon Palace's Nanxia Hall.
"I didn't expect Chen Hao's soul strength to be so much stronger than Fang Handong's … It's really hard to say who will win … Ningbing, let's go and find your grandfather!"
"Mother, why are you looking for grandfather?"
"Your grandfather is friends with Heavenly Venerable Yuanru …"
"Mother wants to … help Fang Handong?" Baili Ningbing asked.
"We can't help … Fang Handong and Chen Hao's soul are already intertwined. Not to mention us, even Old Ancestor Limitless can't help them. They can only rely on themselves. Moreover, Heavenly Venerable Yuanru said that no matter who survives, they will become Old Ancestor Limitless's direct disciple. This has a limitless future … Even if your grandfather is friends with Heavenly Venerable Yuanru, Heavenly Venerable Yuanru won't let us interfere in this matter … "
"Mother, what do you mean?"
"Hehe … As long as you can comprehend the Undying Sword Dao! The only thing you're lacking now is this. Once you succeed … Hmph, you won't be inferior to those two! "
"How?"
"You will know when the time comes …" The corner of Little Darling's mouth hooked up into a faint smile as she spoke with confidence.
…
The next morning, Limitless Elite Academy's second round of talent and potential test was held as scheduled.
In Limitless Demon Palace's area, many people noticed that Baili Ningbing was no longer beside Nanxia Hall's Palace Master.
…
"Chen Hao … It doesn't matter who wins or dies. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to comprehend the Undying Sword Dao …
However, if you didn't appear, I would've been able to start comprehending it after this competition. But now, because of you, I have no choice but to choose a lower level of comprehension … "
In a light screen, Limitless Devil Palace's Nanxia Hall, Guan Nanxia's daughter, who was also the granddaughter of Limitless Devil Palace's Palace Master, Baili Ningbing, was sitting cross-legged. Her beautiful face was slightly enchanting as she stared at a figure wrapped in light not far away.
Baili Ning Bing's eyes let people know with one look that this was a person full of scheming. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
