Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Returning the Favor with a Kick (2nd Release)Floating Light Shadow Platform. The girl in the yellow dress glanced at Ling Chen, her eyes filled with surprise. She had seen Ling Chen at last night’s banquet. Impressed that someone so young could represent True Martial Academy in combat, she felt an admiration for him. Ling Chen looked at the girl in the yellow dress and smiled, "Wait a minute." The girl in the yellow dress was taken aback. She was unclear what Ling Chen was about to do. At this moment, Ling Chen advanced a few steps, past the girl in yellow dress, and looked towards the Observation Platform where students of Tianluo Academy were, and called out, "He Mu, do you dare to battle with me?" As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Martial Arts Arena went silent. Everyone looked bewildered. Was Ling Chen actually challenging He Mu, who had defeated Wan Er? The Palace Master was the first to react, shouting loudly: "Ling Chen, do not be presumptuous. Your opponent is Ye Zhenzhen." Ye Zhenzhen’s cultivation was in the late stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, slightly weaker than He Mu. Ling Chen fighting with Ye Zhenzhen had a better chance of winning. Who would have expected Ling Chen to suddenly provoke He Mu, who was at the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm at this time? This exchange battle was actually an opportunity to gauge the strength of the opponents. If Ling Chen were to fight He Mu, regardless of the outcome, the real capability of Ye Zhenzhen might remain unknown. Although they could also inquire from Tianluo Academy, seeing is believing after all. "Seeking death?" "Does Ling Chen have a sickness?" "Actively provoking He Mu, does he think True Martial Academy hasn’t lost enough face yet?" ... The watching cultivators started jeering. They were already suppressing their frustration, and now, Ling Chen’s actions were particularly unwelcome. He Mu was also dumbfounded by Ling Chen’s provocation. Displaying such strength, and yet this young lad, who came simply to gain experience, dared to provoke him? He glanced towards the east side of the Observation Platform, then he understood. "Kid, trying to play hero to save the beauty?" He Mu shook his head lightly. Students from Tianluo Academy had already fought in five battles, Ling Chen chose not to challenge the weakest, Lin Yi, but instead chose him—it was clearly a grudge for kicking Wan Er. Playing the hero to save the beauty is indeed a beautiful tale. But if one lacks strength, this so-called hero will turn into a clown, and also lose face in front of the beauty! Hearing this, the students at the Martial Arts Arena shifted their view from ridicule to respect. No matter what, Ling Chen was standing up for Wan Er, he truly is a man of True Martial Academy! Wan Er’s beautiful eyes became sharp, feeling moved gradually welling up. She had always scorned men, but this young man in front of her was making her reconsider! "Ling Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but you are no match for him!" Wan Er conveyed telepathically. She had sparred with He Mu and knew his strength very well. Ling Chen smiled as he responded, "Miss Qin, you think too much. This person not only humiliated you, but also True Martial Academy. As a member of True Martial Academy, it’s natural for me to seek justice." "You!" Wan Er gave a bitter smile. This young man, not very old, yet quite concerned about face! Clearly doing it for her, yet stubbornly denying it. Masquerading under the flag of the Academy! "Dare you?" Ling Chen stared at He Mu, speaking coldly. "Why not?" He Mu tapped his foot and appeared directly on the suspended combat platform. Being challenged by a junior in the later stages of Spirit Sea Realm Level 7, how could he not accept it? Would he still have the face to live on? He himself was at the early stage of Spirit Sea Realm Level 9, why would he take Ling Chen seriously? "Deputy Palace Master?" At this moment, He Mu looked towards Li Ze, seeking the latter’s opinion. Li Ze nodded cheerfully and said, "It’s possible." Then, he looked towards the Palace Master and said, "Ling Chen wants to have an exchange with He Mu, I won’t object. But if Ling Chen is no match for He Mu, is there any need for him to compete against Ye Zhenzhen?" Before the Palace Master could speak, Ling Chen nodded and said, "If I lose, naturally I won’t have the face to compete against other students from your academy!" "Ling Chen, you mustn’t!" The Palace Master’s expression changed. They had given Ling Chen a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon primarily to win a match and regain some face. Now, instead of competing against the weaker Ye Zhenzhen, Ling Chen was recklessly challenging the stronger He Mu! This is utterly absurd! "Master Mo, this is just an exchange, there’s no need to make such a big deal out of it. Since the students wish to interact, why not let them fulfill their wishes?" Li Ze smiled. He naturally had his own plans. Though Ye Zhenzhen appeared weak, among the six students from Tianluo Academy, she was actually the strongest! Since Ye Zhenzhen could avoid revealing her strength, he was more than pleased. Ling Chen, merely a late stage Spirit Sea Realm Level 7, who didn’t even possess a Spiritual Body, attempting to defeat He Mu, was simply impossible! This would achieve the goal of protecting Ye Zhenzhen. With the Deputy Palace Master of Tianluo Academy saying so, how could the Palace Master refuse? He could only nod in agreement. "Ye Zhenzhen, come down." Li Ze called out. "Yes." Ye Zhenzhen immediately returned to the Observation Platform. "Alright, boy, I have come up, make your move! I want to see what skills you have to dare challenge me!" He Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of disdain. Ling Chen glanced at He Mu and smiled, "Then watch closely!" "Floating Light Shadow!" Ling Chen shouted in his heart, Spiritual Power crazily infused into his legs, his figure instantly disappeared from in front of He Mu. He directly executed the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique! "Heavenly Spirit Technique?" He Mu, who was originally calm and composed, his expression drastically changed, Spiritual Power in his body surged out instantly, directly executing a high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique! "What?" The Palace Master, other masters, and a crowd of strong individuals exclaimed in disbelief, "Bang" they stood up from their chairs! A junior in the Spirit Sea Realm executed the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique? This was simply unbelievable! As for the students in the Martial Arts Arena who were preparing to leave, they were too shocked to speak, their mouths agape, eyes filled with horror. "How is this possible?" Miss Qin and the five other students stood up, shocked beyond measure. Even they had not mastered a Heavenly Spirit Technique, let alone a Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, yet it was executed by a junior in Spirit Sea Realm Level 7? "Here’s a kick back at you!" Ling Chen’s figure appeared above He Mu, then from the sky descended a kick landing on He Mu’s face. Previously He Mu kicked Miss Qin, now he was dramatically retaliating. "Bang!" He Mu was completely unprepared, a big foot descended from the sky, directly flipping him onto the ground. Ling Chen’s cultivation was only one level lower than He Mu’s, and he had a Sacred Body surpassing the Super Spiritual Body level,his execution of the Heavenly Spirit Technique. Even though He Mu harnesses the speed-emphasizing Wind Spiritual Power, he was still completely outmatched! "Heavenly Spirit Technique?" Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. On the western Observation Platform, Ye Zhenzhen’s beautiful eyes brightened. The reason she ranked first among the six was not only because her Spiritual Body was peculiar, but she also mastered a Heavenly Spirit Technique!
