Chapter 29: Fierce Killing Techniques, Slaying a Member of Blazing Academy
When Chu Chen stood on the stage, thunderous cheers erupted around him: "Destruction! Destruction!"
His appearance had clearly become the focus of the entire venue. Especially since tonight's opponent was a quasi-Soul King, such a match drew countless spectators flocking in; it was perhaps the hottest match in recent times.
"Isn't this... Chu Chen?" Ye Lingling looked at the figure on the stage, her red lips slightly parted, her heart filled with shock.
She soon understood. No wonder Chu Chen said she would be able to see his match here... It turned out that Chu Chen was Destruction.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out the 'Destruction' that Teacher Qin Ming had asked everyone to observe had been right by their side all along.
Ye Lingling could recognize Chu Chen at a glance, but others could not. Chu Chen's oversized black robe almost completely concealed his physique!
...
"Destruction, I know you. In yesterday's death match, you didn't use a single Soul Skill. You are indeed arrogant, but I am a Level 50 quasi-Soul King. Bring out your full strength."
Chu Chen's opponent was named Huo Changkong. Clearly, there were many supporters of Huo Changkong in the arena, and they shouted his name loudly.
"That's Huo Changkong from Blazing Academy! I heard his Flame Eagle Martial Soul is incredibly overbearing. It looks like Destruction has met his match today," someone shouted loudly.
Chu Chen looked up, his gaze from beneath the black robe sizing up Huo Changkong for a few moments, and said thoughtfully, "Someone from Blazing Academy?"
At this moment, Huo Changkong looked at Chu Chen with an arrogant expression. After finishing his previous statement, he spoke again, "Release your Martial Soul Abilities! I want to fight you fairly and squarely!"
"No need. To me, you are no different from the person yesterday."
Chu Chen said indifferently.
"You!"
Huo Changkong's expression turned incredibly cold. He no longer held back, releasing his Soul Ring configuration of two yellow and two purple. Then, his first Soul Ring rose: "First Soul Skill, Flame Eagle Possession!"
Accompanied by the loud cry of a Flame Eagle, Huo Changkong's entire body ignited with scorching flames. His speed also increased significantly under the Martial Soul Possession state. Then, bursting into an afterimage, he charged forward.
Chu Chen also took action. A blue-gold light flowed over the surface of his body, and surging life blood qi circulated, forming an invisible current of air. With his power completely restrained, he charged forward.
Boom!
In the instant of collision, feeling the scorching breath blowing against his face, Chu Chen threw another punch. His offensive was clean and efficient, even perfectly fusing these combat skills with his own movements.
What seemed like a retreat was actually an opportunity for Chu Chen to instantly throw a kick, using his body to drive an even more powerful attack!
Even facing Huo Changkong, who was covered in flames, Chu Chen was completely fearless. On the contrary, Huo Changkong felt a surge of palpitations. His Flame Eagle flames were extremely difficult to deal with; not only were they incredibly hot, but they could also erode the body upon entry.
"He's actually completely unaffected? Something is strange!"
Huo Changkong wanted to pull away, but his arm was grabbed by Chu Chen. Before he could release another Soul Skill, Chu Chen's knee strike, carrying the sound of breaking air, struck his abdomen.
Huo Changkong let out a muffled groan and retreated repeatedly.
In the brief exchange, he was clearly at a disadvantage. The power of the combat skills Chu Chen possessed was too great, and his techniques were equally formidable.
"His offensive methods are completely integrated with his movements. What kind of combat technique is this? I've never seen it before."
Huo Changkong was inwardly terrified.
Inside the VIP room, Xue Qinghe's gaze toward Chu Chen was full of appreciation and a sense of kinship: "I didn't expect that he would be able to grasp the new combat skills I discussed with him last night so quickly."
"Haha, as expected of Brother Destruction."
Clearly, these new combat skills were the result of his discussion on the Dao with Chu Chen last night. It was a new technique they had experimented with by sharing their experiences and fusing the parts they were each specialized in!
Xue Qinghe was becoming more and more interested in Chu Chen.
Not far away, Teacher Qin Ming and the others said with faces full of shock, "This... despite such a gap in firepower, and with Huo Changkong using Martial Soul Abilities, he's actually completely gained the upper hand?"
"What sharp offensive methods. This person is truly strong," Dugu Yan evaluated seriously.
Listening to their evaluations of Chu Chen, Ye Lingling smiled somewhat proudly, but she didn't show it. She just sat in the corner, quietly watching Chu Chen's match.
On the stage, Huo Changkong had completely retracted his previous contempt. With a solemn expression, he unleashed his second Soul Skill.
"Second Soul Skill, Flame Ring!"
Scorching flames condensed in his hand into a constantly spinning ring of fire. Wherever the fire ring passed, the surrounding air distorted, and the temperature on the stage became scorching.
Facing the fire ring with tracking capabilities thrown by Huo Changkong, Chu Chen struck out with a palm. A Blue Silver Emperor bloomed in his palm, simultaneously condensing majestic life force to complete an instantaneous explosion within his palm.
Boom!
To others, it looked like Chu Chen had simply dispersed the fire ring thrown by Huo Changkong with a single palm strike. In reality, it was the instantaneous explosive force generated by the Blue Silver Emperor condensing life force.
Even Blue Silver Grass, under Chu Chen's repeated cultivation and evolution, now possessed impressive explosive and offensive power while also having immortal life force.
Amidst the scattering firelight, Chu Chen's figure instantly appeared. His offensive was fierce, overwhelming Huo Changkong. Once closed in on by Chu Chen, even if Huo Changkong wanted to use a Soul Skill, it was too late.
Pfft!
He was struck in the chest by Chu Chen's palm and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Seeing that he was about to be knocked off the stage by a palm strike, a pair of Flame Wings actually grew out of Huo Changkong's back, carrying his body into the air. This was his third Soul Skill. After the Flame Wings were possessed, he gained the ability to fight in the air.
"Destruction, your arrogance is destined for failure! Fourth Soul Skill, Endless Fire Curtain!" Huo Changkong revealed his fourth Soul Skill, and the surging firelight obscured everyone's vision.
Chu Chen looked up as Blue Silver Emperor vines burst out from the ground.
Boom!
The Blue Silver Emperor directly coiled around Huo Changkong's body. Under Chu Chen's control, life energy was completely condensed within these few Blue Silver Emperor vines. As a result, the Blue Silver Emperor exerted force, slamming Huo Changkong down from the air and heavily into the ground.
But Huo Changkong took this opportunity to hold a dagger condensed from flames and slashed toward Chu Chen's throat.
Chu Chen erupted with life blood qi, knocking away the dagger with a palm strike. At the same time, he sent the latter flying with a punch. His figure moved with overbearing and peerless close-quarters combat; every move was a killing blow.
"How dare you kill me! I am from Blazing Acad—ugh!"
Huo Changkong let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying like a dead dog. After struggling a few times on the ground, all movement ceased. His limbs were twisted, and he clearly no longer looked human.
"Once on the death stage, I don't care who you are," Chu Chen said indifferently. Then, amidst the deafening cheers behind him, he slowly walked away.
