Chapter 28 Overwhelming

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 OverwhelmingSeeing this, Lin Zhengshan instantly realized, this kid is clearly recovering his spiritual power! Just now, Ling Chen’s all-out effort was evidently only at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, yet his spiritual power was comparable to the eighth level. However, he also had a weakness, which was that his spiritual power was not abundant enough. As long as he could deplete Ling Chen’s spiritual power, wouldn’t the latter be at his mercy? With this thought, Lin Zhengshan stomped on the ground and shot toward Ling Chen like a cannonball. "Sealing Demon Hand!" Lin Zhengshan instantly appeared in front of Ling Chen, aiming a palm strike at Ling Chen’s head. With Lin Zhengyue’s previous example before him, he naturally did not dare to be careless and used a high-grade attack spiritual technique from the start! "Bring it on!" Ling Chen did not use the White Crane Blue Sky Technique to dodge; instead, he suddenly raised his right hand and countered with a palm strike. What he used was a high-grade spirit art, the Mountain Opening Palm! "Boom!" The two palms collided, creating shockwaves, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

And Lin Zhengshan also retreated four steps! Having used a high-grade spirit art and still not gaining any upper hand, Lin Zhengshan felt his heart sink. It seemed that the only way to truly capture his opponent was to exhaust Ling Chen’s spiritual power. Moreover, Ling Chen had practiced a high-grade body technique spirit art; if he wanted to escape, Lin Zhengshan had no way to stop him. With this thought, Lin Zhengshan once again brazenly launched an attack on Ling Chen like a tempestuous storm. He had to keep up a high-intensity, relentless assault to prevent his opponent from having any chance to escape. On the side, Lin Zhengyu stood there, his mind a complete blank. If Lin Zhengyue lost due to carelessness, he could accept that. But the fact that Ling Chen was on par with Lin Zhengshan was something he could not accept. How could someone who was only slightly stronger than him a few days ago now become an expert he could only look up to? "Bang bang bang!" The two exchanged blows fiercely, with shockwaves continuously sweeping through the forest. Being able to fight a true Qi Condensation Realm eighth-level expert exhilarated Ling Chen. Now, he completely dominated the fight and could withdraw at any moment. He did not use any movement technique, using only attack spiritual techniques to defend himself. At the same time, as he fought, he let his special physique automatically absorb spiritual energy to replenish his consumption of spiritual power. Although he was not at an advantage with his spiritual power, his mysterious physique allowed him to fight Lin Zhengshan for a full quarter of an hour. Lin Zhengshan fought with increasing trepidation, never having seen a cultivator that could recover while fighting! He knew that in a duel between experts, life and death were determined by a thin line. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t afford to be distracted. Yet Ling Chen, cultivating and fighting simultaneously, did not fall behind at all. Little did he know, this was the domineering aspect of Ling Chen’s special physique, automatically refining spiritual energy without Ling Chen’s control. The more Ling Chen fought, the more excited he became, with a gleam shining in his eyes. He had completely treated Lin Zhengshan as a whetstone for his skills. Moreover, he had an inexplicable feeling that he would certainly defeat his opponent. Although, at the moment, the two were still evenly matched. "Sealing Demon Hand!" Lin Zhengshan launched another palm strike. Watching the rapidly approaching palm before his eyes, Ling Chen’s gaze suddenly focused on the center of his opponent’s palm. It was a rather peculiar feeling. "Meteor Finger!" Ling Chen unexplainably executed this high-grade spirit art. Even he wasn’t clear why he did so. "Bang!" As their fingers and palms collided, Ling Chen’s index finger touched Lin Zhengshan’s palm center. At that instant, the glowing light of Spiritual Power on Lin Zhengshan’s palm suddenly receded. Ling Chen’s index finger penetrated directly into Lin Zhengshan’s palm. "Ah!" Lin Zhengshan let out a miserable scream, a look of terror on his face as he explosively retreated backwards. At this moment, his palm was nearly torn in half, the flesh a blurry mess with only thin strands of skin holding it together. Ling Chen felt bewildered; both were high-quality Spirit Arts, and no matter what, his Meteor Finger couldn’t have caused such damage. "Mysterious Spirit Art?" Lin Zhengshan exclaimed in shock. What he deployed was a high-quality Spirit Art, and only a Mysterious Spirit Art, surpassing ordinary Spirit Arts, could possibly defeat him! Mysterious Spirit Art was something only a Cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm typically had the qualifications to cultivate. How could a guy at the seventh layer of the Qi Condensation Realm possibly execute such a terrifying Spirit Art? Moreover, he had clearly seen Ling Chen deploy it against Lin Zhengyu before, which was also at the level of high-quality Spirit Art! How did it turn into a terrifying Mysterious Spirit Art when used against him? "Mysterious Spirit Art?" Ling Chen shook his head slightly. This Spirit Art, obtained from the first level of the Spirit Pavilion, could not possibly be a Mysterious Spirit Art. And when he faced Lin Zhengyu, it didn’t seem to have this kind of power. Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. "I understand, the center of the palm is precisely the weakness of Sealing Demon Hand!" Only with this can it be explained why, although both were high-quality Spirit Arts, Meteor Finger had such an unexpectedly effective result! He recalled their exchange moments ago; when his index finger touched the center of Lin Zhengshan’s palm, his opponent’s Spiritual Power suddenly dispersed. Without the support of Spiritual Power, let alone high-quality Spirit Art, even without using any Spirit Art and just relying on Spiritual Power, he could still crush Lin Zhengshan! How could a Cultivator’s flesh and blood compare with Spiritual Power? Realizing this point, Ling Chen was exceedingly excited. Originally he had just wanted to use Lin Zheng to hone himself, and if he couldn’t defeat the opponent, he would deploy his Body Technique and leave. Unexpectedly, he had inexplicably caught a flaw in the opponent’s Spirit Art. Lin Zhengshan stared at Ling Chen, not daring to make a move. With an assumed Mysterious Spirit Art in the opponent’s hand, how could he dare to continue facing Ling Chen? "Lin Zhengshan, today you are destined to die!" Ling Chen said with a light smile. The other party intended to kill him, how could he possibly let him go? As his words fell, Ling Chen tapped his foot and his body surged towards Lin Zhengshan, again pointing with a finger. This time, he didn’t even deploy any Spirit Art! "Seeking death!" Lin Zhengshan was initially a bit panicked, but seeing Ling Chen so overconfident, not even using a Spirit Art, his heart hardened, and he raised his left hand, delivering a Heart-shattering Palm! Although Heart-shattering Palm was just an intermediate Spirit Art, the disparity in their Spiritual Power was negligible. Using an intermediate Spirit Art, he should be enough to defeat the opponent. Lin Zhengyu had previously died at Ling Chen’s hand due to his carelessness, and now Ling Chen seemed about to make the same mistake! This was simply bringing doom upon oneself! "Bang!" Palm and finger clashed, and the air erupted with a loud blast once again. But Ling Chen’s Spiritual Art-untouched index finger, akin to a metallic construction, again penetrated Lin Zhengshan’s palm. "Ah!" Lin Zhengshan let out another scream that was horrific to hear. That scream made Lin Zhengyu’s hair stand on end! Without even using a Spirit Art, Ling Chen had once again disabled another of Lin Zhengshan’s hands. He simply couldn’t understand how Ling Chen suddenly became so powerful. Previously, he could chalk up the injury to Lin Zhengshan’s right hand to Ling Chen using a Mysterious Spirit Art, but now, Ling Chen hadn’t deployed any Spirit Art at all! Looking at Lin Zhengshan trembling non-stop across from him, the corner of Ling Chen’s mouth curled up. Just as he expected, this time, he had once again spotted the flaw in Lin Zhengshan’s Spirit Art!
