Chapter 56 Xiao Bai Face

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Xiao Bai FaceA silent night passed. The next morning, Guangling City once again buzzed with excitement, as countless people gathered in the central square. Today marks the second round of the True Martial Trial. Having the chance to witness the top talents of the entire Guangling City, the crowd naturally swarmed in. And also to behold the elegance of a Spiritual Body! News that the Su Family has produced a Spiritual Body finally spread over the past few days. Su Qingyun’s name echoed throughout Guangling City. He was not awakened in Guangling City and had been cultivating outside, so it was unbeknownst to all. "Damn it! The Su Family actually produced a Spiritual Body!" Ling Tianfeng trembled with anger upon hearing the news. When Lin Xiaodu from the Lin Family awakened his Poison Body, it already posed a great threat to him. However, Lin Xiaodu did not have good relations with the Lin Family, so he felt somewhat relieved. Who knew that the Su Family would now produce a Golden Spirit Body renowned for its combat prowess! The Su Family, already the number one family in Guangling City, with a Golden Spirit Body might finally doom the Ling Family. A Spiritual Body was a sure future contender for the Primordial Pill Realm! A single Primordial Pill Realm could drastically change the situation in Guangling City. ... At the central square. "Ladies and gentlemen!" Li Hongluo stood up and spoke loudly. Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down, their eyes fervently fixed on the red-dressed woman on the high platform. This was a strong expert of the Primordial Pill Realm! "Now, I will announce the top forty of the first round, the Forest Beast Hunt." Li Hongluo smiled sweetly. "Wench!" Lin Xiaodu glanced at Li Hongluo with disgust, teeth clenched. Ling Chen rolled his eyes. It seemed Li Hongluo hadn’t done anything, had she? "Ling Chen, who do you think is prettier, me or her?" Lin Xiaodu asked. "You are prettier!" Ling Chen quickly nodded. "Hmm!" Only then did Lin Xiaodu nod satisfactorily. "First place, Su Lin, a third-stage late phase Xuan beast!" "Second place, Su Wu, a third-stage mid phase Xuan beast!" "Third place, Ling Yunfei, a third-stage mid phase Xuan beast!" "Fourth place, Lin Qingtian, a third-stage mid phase Xuan beast!" "Fifth place, Lin Xiaodu, a third-stage early phase Xuan beast." "Sixth place, Lin Ye, a third-stage early phase Xuan beast." "Seventh place, Ling Chen, a third-stage early phase Xuan beast!" "Eighth place, Ye Qingyuan, a third-stage early phase Xuan beast!" ... The rankings were quickly announced. The fortieth place was a second-stage early phase Xuan beast. However, in the top forty, a significant portion were of the first layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, even up to the peak of the Coalescing Qi Realm. Usually, it takes a second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm cultivators to slay a second stage Xuan beast. Thus, many actually relied on others’ help to kill these beasts. "Lucky I ran into Lin Xiaodu and the others, or I would have really been eliminated!" Ling Chen secretly felt relief in his heart. "Ling Chen, how could he possibly kill a third-stage Xuan beast?" "You don’t know? Ling Chen sided with Lin Xiaodu!" "Yes, it was Lin Xiaodu who gave Ling Chen that third-stage Xuan beast!" "I’ll go, Ling Chen plays it slick! Truly a pretty-boy!" ... Numerous people discussed aloud. Ling Chen’s performance was too exaggerated. To this, Ling Chen neither confirmed nor denied. Ye Qingyuan scoffed. Ling Chen’s abilities were even stronger than his. Even he could slay a third-stage Xuan beast, so why couldn’t Ling Chen, who defeated him, possibly not kill one? It was utterly ridiculous! "Now we proceed to the second round of the True Martial Trial, the tournament platform combat. The forty advancing contestants, please come onto the stage." Li Hongluo said with a smile. Soon, forty people took the stage. "First of all, congratulations on advancing to the second round of the tournament. The rules for this round are simple: pairs will combat, losers will be eliminated, and winners will advance! The order and pairing of your battles are based upon your performance in the previous round. The first and the fortieth contestant will automatically become opponents, and so forth. In the end, only three will be able to join the True Martial Academy." Li Hongluo announced the rules. "Now, the first and fortieth contestant stay behind, the others may go to the waiting area to rest!" Li Hongluo said with a smile. "Begin!" Li Hongluo declared directly. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Bang!" Su Lin slapped his palm out, sending his opponent flying directly. His opponent was merely at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm; how could he withstand a strike from someone in the third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm? "Su Lin wins!" Li Hongluo announced the result. The first six battles were essentially one-sided. Each was decided by a single strike. "Contestant number seven versus contestant number thirty-four!" Li Hongluo announced loudly. Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately stepped onto the stage. His opponent was a fellow in the mid-stage of level one of the Spirit Sea Realm. "Go Brother Chen, you can do it!" Lin Xiaodu cheered in a sweet voice. Upon hearing this, Lin Family Patriarch Lin Xiong’s face turned gloomy. Ling Chen pretended not to hear. "No way, did Xiao Du really take Ling Chen under her wing?" "Looking at the situation, is there any surprise? Have you ever seen Xiao Du so passionate about anyone else?" ... The crowd was abuzz with discussion. "You are not my match." Ling Chen said plainly. Mid first-layer Spirit Sea Realm youth Jin Ming retorted coldly, "Whether I’m your match, we have to fight to know. I haven’t seen Ling Chen in action." Without witnessing Ling Chen’s strength firsthand, he wasn’t going to admit defeat! "Alright then, make your move!" Ling Chen nodded. Feeling underestimated by Ling Chen, Jin Ming smirked and said, "Alright! Pretty boy, as you wish!" As his words fell, he raised his right hand, suddenly clenched it into a fist, and then threw a punch. Instantly, a golden fist imprint hurtled towards Ling Chen. Ling Chen’s cultivation, he couldn’t sense at all. This was his tactical move—using a unique long-range attack form of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators to test Ling Chen. "Seeking death!" Ling Chen’s eyes turned cold. For this person to come up and insult him like this, especially in front of a large audience, he couldn’t let it pass. Ling Chen threw a punch; black spiritual power enveloped his fist, instantly shattering the golden fist imprint. "Bang!" Then, stepping forcefully on the ground and using the rebound force, his figure became like lightning, shooting towards his opponent! "What incredible speed!" Watching the figure before him swiftly enlarging, Jin Ming’s expression turned stern. He moved his feet, channeled spiritual power into his legs, and explosively retreated backward! At the same time, he formed a golden palm in his hand. "Golden Light Palm!" He let out a cold snort and slapped his palm towards Ling Chen. This time, he directly employed a profound Spirit Art! "Hmph!" Ling Chen let out a cold snort. His hand didn’t deploy any profound Spirit Art but was still a punch towards the front! "Foolish thing!" Jin Ming said coldly. He was using a profound Spirit Art; unless Ling Chen was at the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, there was no way he could match his spiritual power! However, a moment he would never forget occurred. "Boom!" Ling Chen’s fist collided with his Golden Light Palm, shattering it instantly. Then, Ling Chen’s figure appeared in front of him, landing a punch right on his chest. "Bang!" Jin Ming’s body was thrown through the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, drawing a beautiful blood-red arc in the sky.
