"Hahaha … Not bad, Yan Chen, I'll remember this!"
The middle-aged man from the Bai family smiled and muttered to himself, "Perhaps, this is a good seedling. Let's see how he does next! I hope he can bring me a pleasant surprise! "
Hearing Elder Bai's words, the two elders from the White Tiger Academy beside him were slightly taken aback. Then, they looked at Wang Chen's figure in the distance with complicated gazes. Some gratification!
Someone from the Bai family actually took a fancy to him. Perhaps, this kid's opportunity had arrived.
If he could perform even more outstandingly in the remaining Academy Competition, his chances of entering the Bai family and becoming an outer member would definitely increase greatly.
Once he entered the Bai family, it would be like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate! After all, the Bai family was the number one family in the Barbarian Province. In the entire Nine Provinces, it was considered a wealthy family!
Entering the Bai Family, what a glorious thing it was! This was the dream of every cultivator in the entire Barbarian Province! But those who could enter the Bai family were few and far between.
After all, how could it be so easy to enter the Bai family? Even if it was just an outer member!
Even in a place like the White Tiger Institution where geniuses gathered, only two or three people could obtain such an opportunity every one or two years.
And now, this Yan Chen's opportunity had arrived. This caused the elders to sigh incessantly.
However, Wang Chen had no idea about any of this at the moment. After this battle, he returned to his dormitory to cultivate.
…
The next day was also the seventh day of the Academy Competition. Finally, the semi-finals of the various years arrived. This day's competition was also extremely intense.
In today's semi-finals, Wang Chen's opponent was Nie Kan, who he had met in the group stage!
On the stage, Wang Chen's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Nie Kan.
He did not expect him to overcome all the difficulties and fight his way into the semi-finals. The two of them had to meet again in the semi-finals. This could be said to be fate.
On the stage, Nie Kan's expression was extremely solemn as he looked at Wang Chen.
He knew very well that the Yan Chen standing before him today was no longer the Yan Chen from seven days ago.
The current him had already become a powerhouse among the fifth years. He was listed as one of the top ten experts. He was no longer the eighth stage king martial artist from seven days ago, but a ninth stage king martial artist who had defeated Tao Ming. His battle prowess had already soared by who knew how much!
Nie Kan's expression was solemn as he looked at Wang Chen, his aura imposing. "You've become much stronger!"
"You too!" Wang Chen replied with a smile upon hearing Nie Kan's words.
Not only did Nie Kan's defeat that day not cause him to sink into depravity, on the contrary, it caused his strength to improve further. He was now very, very close to becoming a Martial Emperor. He believed that after the Academy Tournament, it would only take a few days for him to step into the Martial Emperor Realm. Therefore, Wang Chen did not dare to take it lightly.
"Although you're very strong, I still want to fight today!" Wang Chen's words made Nie Kan smile before he said solemnly.
Winning this match meant that he could directly enter the top three and obtain generous resources from the Academy. He could also enter the Academy's mystic realm to train. How could Nie Kan give up such an opportunity?
Once he lost, he would have to compete with the loser of another group for third place.
And no matter who lost in that group, they would definitely have the strength of a Martial Emperor. Nie Kan believed that he was no match for the top two powerhouses among the fifth years in the Academy! Hence, in this match, Nie Kan was very clear that he had to win.
Thinking of this, his fighting spirit immediately soared! His aura suddenly soared.
"Fight!"
In the next moment, Nie Kan shouted angrily as he unsheathed his longsword and suddenly charged toward Wang Chen.
"Fight!"
Seeing Nie Kan make the first move, Wang Chen's eyes instantly became extremely sharp!
Thud thud …
Both feet suddenly stomped on the ground, and as Wang Chen's aura soared, his entire body was like an arrow that had left the bow as he charged forward.
"Vast Waves Slash!"
With an angry shout, an elemental energy weapon condensed. At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly opened the first four of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates and with an unparalleled aura, his sword met Nie Kan's attack.
Red light streaked across the sky, leaving behind a series of afterimages that dazzled the eyes of the onlookers. The illusory figures contained unparalleled power as they blasted towards Nie Kan one after another.
Boom boom boom …
The sounds of explosions rang out incessantly.
After a single exchange, the two were evenly matched, and they both retreated rapidly.
"Army Breaker!"
Creak …
His feet suddenly stomped on the ground, and the soles of his shoes made a sharp sound as they rubbed against the ground. After stabilizing his body, Wang Chen followed up with a Army Breaker.
"Traceless!"
After the Army Breaker forced his opponent to retreat, Wang Chen's traceless sword once again landed on his face.
The Three Styles of Profound Heaven were displayed consecutively, causing Wang Chen's aura to soar to the peak. How ferocious was this?
Boom …
Amidst the booming sounds, unparalleled sword aura overflowed in all directions, and the airwaves seemed extremely violent.
Thud thud thud …
Under Wang Chen's three consecutive attacks, even though Nie Kan was fighting with all his might and did not lower his guard at all, he was still at a disadvantage.
This time, there was no element of luck. It was all about strength! This was the most direct form of strength! Currently, Wang Chen's combat power had clearly surpassed Nie Kan's. Hence, he had the upper hand in the most direct confrontation of strength.
His physical body had stepped into the ranks of the Eighth Stage Body, causing Wang Chen's strength to increase by leaps and bounds!
Sensing that Wang Chen's strength had increased by so much, and sensing that Wang Chen's combat power was actually so domineering, a complicated look flashed across Nie Kan's eyes.
Although it was only a short exchange of blows, he was acutely aware of this point.
He knew that with Yan Chen's current combat power, if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose, right?
However, although he knew that he would lose, he could not give up.
Whether it was for glory, for the academy's rewards, or to defeat Yan Chen, he could not! He could not give up. He had to persevere until the very last moment!
"Mm, this boy isn't bad. I like this kind of combat power!"
On the high platform, the middle-aged man from the Bai Family was all smiles as he watched this battle.
Evidently, Wang Chen's domineering and direct combat style suited his appetite very well. Towards a Stage Nine King martial artist, being able to display such domineering combat power made him even more satisfied. For a moment, he nodded repeatedly.
And at the same time that the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, on the platform, Wang Chen was not idle.
After forcing Nie Kan back with three moves, Wang Chen suddenly poured out his True Essence Energy. "Void Chop!"
Void Chop. At this moment, facing Nie Kan, Wang Chen directly executed the Void Chop.
This move could be said to be one of the most powerful moves that Wang Chen could execute currently! Wang Chen had absolute confidence in this move.
Especially after stepping into the ranks of the Eighth Stage Body, when this move was executed, its power was who knows how much stronger.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The essence energy weapon tore through the horizon, bringing along a series of low whistling sounds, like the roar of a wild beast.
The red light expanded greatly, covering the sky and covering the sun in an instant! The entire platform was enveloped in a stretch of red light, dazzling, seductive, bizarre, and even a trace of brutality.
"Awooo …"
A divine dragon phantom appeared behind Wang Chen, roaring at the sky. Then, it turned into a streak of red light, as if fusing into the essence energy weapon. Immediately, the essence energy weapon was like a malevolent divine dragon, biting directly towards Nie Kan.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this scene and feeling the power contained in Wang Chen's Void Chop, this made Nie Kan's expression change drastically as he cried out in shock.
He had seen this move before. It was precisely because of this move that Nie Kan lost to Yan Chen in the first match of the group stage. Furthermore, he was incomparably wretched. How could Nie Kan possibly forget this matter?
Hence, he had always been looking forward to exchanging blows with Yan Chen again. He wanted to block this move personally.
Because, according to his judgment, the last move that Yan Chen displayed that day was indeed incomparably powerful, but it was not so powerful that he could not withstand it!
If Nie Kan used all his strength to block this move, it would not be a problem.
However, at this moment, Nie Kan realized that he was wrong. Ridiculously wrong.
Because the power of this move far exceeded his imagination.
The move he saw that day was not even one-third of the power of this move!
Could it be that Yan Chen had hidden his strength? Or …
After all, even if he had stepped into the King Warrior level and the power of this move had increased, it was definitely impossible to increase it to such a terrifying extent!
At this moment, Nie Kan was shocked. He was certain that Yan Chen had hidden his strength that day. He was even more certain that it would be difficult for him to take this move now.
Nie Kan's heart suddenly became extremely bitter.
However, how could he know that the power of this move that Wang Chen displayed now was not just because Wang Chen's strength had increased? Even if his strength had increased to the Stage Nine King Warrior level, he would not be able to display such great power!
It was more because Wang Chen had stepped into the ranks of the Stage Eight Body Realm, which allowed Wang Chen to display more power in this move.
Even now, this was not the full power of this move. It was only a very small part of it.
This was because the power of the Void Slash was not something that a King Warrior could display, nor was it something that an ordinary Emperor Warrior could display. It was a move that required at least a mid-stage Emperor Warrior or above to display. This move was incomparably powerful, and the burden on the body was incomparably great.
In this world, apart from Wang Chen, a monster who had stepped into the Star Tempering Body Eighth Body Realm, who could display it so easily at the King Warrior level, not many people could do it. Although Wang Chen could do it, he could not display his full strength.
