As for the surprise, Jin Cheng was not much less astonished than the others. It’s just that he managed to appear more composed on the surface.
However, if one looked closely at his eyes, they could still discern the shock deep within him.
This…
He thought Yang Chen would be at most at the Second Level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
But as he looked now, he had underestimated Yang Chen, who had actually reached the Third Level of the Spirit Martial Realm! His Martial Arts Cultivation was the same as MO Shengyun’s!
“You… actually reached the Third Level of the Spirit Martial Realm as well!” MO Shengyun’s face turned cold: “Is this where your confidence comes from? If you think reaching the Third Level of the Spirit Martial Realm would make you my equal, then you’re too naive!”
Though he spoke defiantly, his heart had already been stirred by waves of astonishment.
What was his sense of superiority when facing Yang Chen?
Everywhere!
He felt that he was better than Yang Chen in every aspect, that he could crush
in any way.
But now, this sense of superiority was gone.
Why?
Because Yang Chen had the same Martial Arts Cultivation as him.
Even more crucially, Yang Chen was younger than him.
In the Taotu Sect, what he had achieved at his age, though not unmatched, was still enough for him to be considered a genius at the peak. But today, he encountered Yang Chen, a youth who was not only younger than him but also had the same Martial Arts Cultivation.
This provoked rage in him as if his rightful position had been challenged.
“As you said, I indeed reached the Third Level of the Spirit Martial Realm. Here, take my palm!” In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen’s Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm appeared and took shape.
This time, he started with a ruthless move.
“You think this move will be effective against me?” MO Shengyun said with a deep voice. The next moment, an astonishing power converged from the sword in his hand. Although it may not be as powerful as the projection of the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm, combined with the power of his Spirit Weapon sword, its strength was on par with the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm’s projection.
“Mountain Breaking Sword!”
With a loud shout, MO Shengyun thrust his sword, displaying a power akin to breaking mountains. It collided with the projection of the palm and they clashed in an instant.
For a moment, the ground shook, and the air echoed with their impact. The rush of True Qi spread in all directions, making it impossible to calm down.
“Mountain Breaking Sword… this!” Jin Cheng’s face suddenly changed: “Not good!”
He Liancheng also sweated profusely: “Young Master, the Mountain Breaking Sword comes from the Taotu Mountain Crumbling Technique, and the Taotu Mountain Crumbling Technique is the signature technique of the Taotu Sect.
This youth is an Inner Disciple of the Taotu Sect, not an Outer Sect Disciple!”
The difference between Inner and Outer Sect is huge, with the former greatly surpassing the latter in terms of treatment and privileges.
At this moment, all the doubts were resolved.
Why was MO Shengyun so proud? Why did MO Shengyun have a Spirit Weapon? It turned out that he was an Inner Disciple of the Taotu Sect.
As an Inner Disciple with excellent cultivation, he could receive generous rewards from the sect. His cultivation environment was incredibly advantageous!
“That old bastard Sun hid it so well.” Jin Cheng clenched his teeth, anger surging within him.
Although the Secret Realm was precious, Jin Cheng now understood that for the sake of obtaining the Secret Realm, Sun Zhenghao had gone all out to invite Taotu Sect’s Inner Disciples. He knew very well that those Inner Disciples were true geniuses, capable of sweeping away all their peers!
As expected…
The True Qi gradually dispersed, and Yang Chen’s Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm, which had successively defeated Lin Shaoyang and Liu Taixing, failed to subdue MO Shengyun.
The clash between the Mountain Breaking Sword and Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm reached a stalemate.
MO Shengyun squinted, clearly unsatisfied with this outcome. The next moment, he snorted coldly: “Let me show you the gap between us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, MO Shengyun’s figure flashed, and his speed suddenly increased. He lunged at Yang Chen from the air.
“As expected!” He Liancheng gritted his teeth: “This MO Shengyun cultivated the Taotu Mountain Collapsing Style, making his body incredibly strong. The Taotu Mountain Collapsing Style is a top-tier body cultivation method. MO
Shengvun, as a body cultivator, has an edge in close combat.”
Body cultivation was a sensitive term.
That’s because, in battles, body cultivators often held the initiative. Often when masters specialized in body cultivation faced non -body cultivation masters, the former had a higher probability of winning.
This was one of MO Shengyun’s sources of confidence.
Now, his speed increased drastically, and he appeared in front of Yang Chen in a blink. Accompanied by the whirl of True Qi, his sword swept down.
“Too fast.”
Just when everyone thought that Yang Chen would be at a disadvantage, suddenly…
“Clang! ”
Yang Chen thrust his spear and actually blocked MO Shengyun’s attack.
This surprised MO Shengyun who promptly retreated, but Yang Chen laughed heartily: “You want to compare speed with me? Let’s see who’s faster!”
As soon as he said this, with a swoosh, Yang Chen chased after MO Shengyun like the wind. With that speed, he actually surpassed MO Shengyun.
You’re fast, but I’m faster!
“What!”
“This kid’s speed is even faster than Young Master Yun.” Sun Zhenghao and the onlookers Lin Shaoyang were both astounded. They felt this was very surreal.
Especially Lin Shaoyang, now he finally understood why he had lost to Yang Chen.
Everybody saw that Yang Chen’s speed was indeed faster than MO Shengyun’s, and they weren’t even in the same realm.
There was only one possible explanation. “Could it be that this kid is also a body cultivator?”
“Heavens!”
“Where did he get his body cultivating techniques?” Nobody dared to believe this fact.
But, Yang Chen was indeed a body cultivator.
Moreover, not only was he a body cultivator, but MO Shengyun’s body cultivation method, which he was so proud of, was nothing compared to Yang Chen’s. The Tai Chu Divine Body, which was tempered using the blood of the Black Mountain Black Bear, was by no means comparable to the Taotu Mountain Crumbling Technique.
Yang Chen’s speed completely surpassed MO Shengyun’s. MO Shengyun, astonished, stared dumbfounded, unable to believe the truth before him.
“Are you a body cultivator too?” MO Shengyun gnashed his teeth.
Yang Chen slowly said: “You’re correct. You’re a body cultivator, and I’m no different. Besides, you have a Spirit Weapon, and I have one too!”
As his words fell, Yang Chen put away the silver spear and took the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear out of his Storage Bag!
Boom!
As soon as the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear appeared, an overwhelming power surged forth.
This was the mark of a Spirit Weapon.
“Hahaha, take my attack!” Yang Chen grew more exuberant. As he held the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear, he instantly turned the tide of the battle. With a single thrust, he aimed at MO Shengyun. Yang Chen held the upper hand in their fight, thoroughly dominating MO Shengyun.
