Chapter 70: Wen Xin is already a genius, but Bing Yi

Amidst waves of cheers, the arena was like a brilliant altar, situated within a magnificent ocean of light.

A youth with a tall, straight build, dressed in profound black ink robes, walked slowly onto the arena, his entire body radiating bone-chilling cold intent, and walked quietly to the side of the Host.

"Hiss..."

The Host hugged their arms, moved a bit further away from Chen Yan, and introduced the rules of the boxing match at a very fast speed.

"Next... next..."

The Host truly could not take it anymore; they were only a Five Viscera Realm martial artist, not a Horizontal Refinement martial artist.

"Begin!"

Buzz!

A high-pitched buzzing sound suddenly rang out across the arena; Chen Yu did not say a single word before pointing a finger out.

One could see golden light erupting as a Golden Light Array Disk with a diameter of thirty centimeters suddenly appeared, its runes profound and mysterious, as if a Golden Crow were spitting flames.

Suddenly, a Fire Snake darted out from the array disk, shooting toward Chen Yan.

Without pausing for even a second, Chen Yu intended to instantly crush Chen Yan.

In the Observation Area, some Audience members even screamed; they had thought the two would first probe each other, never expecting Wen Xin to directly unleash a grand technique.

This same move had just helped Wen Xin achieve nine consecutive wins.

Chen Yan's pupils narrowed slightly, cold light radiating from his entire body, his SoulRefining channeled into his legs; the next moment, his body moved like a swimming dragon or a startled swan, leaping into the air.

Yet, his eyes, from behind a mask that allowed only one-way peeking, stared fixedly at this formation-created Fire Snake.

Profound, complex, incomprehensible!

He had been astonished in his heart for a long time; why could an array create such a magical thing?

It looked like a Fire Snake, but in reality, it was not; it was burning Soul Power!

Within the Po Saint Realm, yellow light representing Formation Energy surged endlessly, watering the Breaking Saint Tree.

【Breaking Saint Tree (Level Four): 4/10

Force: 51/100

Blood: 23/100

Technique: 56/100

Array: 16/100】

Just at this moment, while Chen Yan's body was still in the air and the Fire Snake was pouncing from below, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Golden light flared at the eyes of the Rabbit Mask; Chen Yu kicked out with her left leg, the light on her leg surface swimming like a golden dragon, gathering into a blazing net of light.

The moment before it was about to strike Chen Yan's chest, the net had already condensed into a barrel-shaped array disk protecting her left leg.

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman's lips curled into a smile.

Chen Yu's progress on the Array Path was truly too fast; how long had it been, and she could already draw Martial Grade C-Rank Array Patterns.

Mortal Grade, Superior Grade, Martial Grade, Earth Vein...

Between every level, there lay a Heavenly Moat.

And after absorbing the Chu Family's Earth Vein Grade A Soul Power Treasure, Chen Yu's current Soul Power had also reached the second tier.

With her array talent added to her powerful Soul Power, Chen Yu could even rival a Hundred Meridians Peak Qi-Blood Warrior.

The next moment, however, the Red Skirt Woman's expression changed slightly.

For it was seen that, under the threat of the Fire Snake and Chen Yu's kick, the Black Ink Robes Youth's body arched in mid-air, briefly stalling in the air.

As the opponent's right hand swung out, countless Ice Crystals flowed out like a stream; in an instant of interweaving, a Long Spear two meters in length appeared, sweeping horizontally toward Chen Yu.

"Hmm?" The Red Skirt Woman was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, as the Ice Spear swept across, countless Ice Crystals pierced out along with the spear tip.

"Quick, dodge!" The Red Skirt Woman spoke urgently.

Chen Yu, who had been attacking, also had a look of astonishment in her pupils for an instant; she crossed her arms in front of her chest, and a circular Golden Light Array Disk stood horizontally before her.

Bang bang bang bang!

Countless Ice Crystals instantly crushed Chen Yu, and that Long Spear even shattered the Golden Light Array Disk that Chen Yu had not yet fully condensed.

The next moment, Chen Yan swung the Long Spear, whipping it fiercely against that Fire Snake.

Boom!

The Ice Spear shattered, and the Fire Snake extinguished.

Chen Yan landed on the ground, his black ink robes billowing like an eagle folding its wings.

Ice condensed upon the jade-white mask; the mask had no holes, light could only pass in and not shoot out.

But at this moment, within the Observation Area, the hearts of all the Audience members beat violently, staring fixedly at the youth named Bing Yi.

Following that, waves of cheers rang out.

Although Bing Yi had defeated Wen Xin before, that was in the past; now that Wen Xin's strength had risen so quickly, not many people thought Bing Yi would still be victorious.

All the Audience members had watched until now; Wen Xin had been winning consecutively, and although the Audience watched with excitement and saw their Invincible Bearing.

But constant victory would also bring them Fatigue.

At this moment, a contestant who could finally contend with Wen Xin had appeared; how could they not be excited?

The cheers surged, and the lights above the arena also seemed to erupt with excited emotions, flickering constantly.

But that Masked Man in Black Robes remained calm throughout.

Chen Yan contemplated himself through battle.

His 【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】 had only reached the heart-entering stage by now.

On one hand, Chen Yan had paid less attention to the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

On the other hand, 【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】 was a Martial Grade Class A Qi-Blood Martial Technique, which was very difficult to learn.

But now Chen Yan's SoulRefining has surged to the Three Viscera, although the Cold Intent of Bing Yi was reduced during the battle.

It dropped from Top Grade Yi Rank to Top Grade Ding Rank, but the SoulRefining of the Three Viscera is solid and real.

Previously, he could only condense a half-meter Ice Spear, but now he can produce a two-meter Long Spear at will.

This is the true usage of the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust!

The opponent is improving, and he is improving too.

He still wants to play with this Wen Xin for a while longer.

In just that instant, the progress of the Zhen Character Fruit, which was originally at sixteen percent, has already risen to eighteen.

According to the quality comparison, this two percent increase is equivalent to fourteen of the previous Zhen Character Fruit.

A harvest in an instant!

The person opposite him is his best Array teacher!

The next instant, Chen Yan surged up, an Ice Spear condensed once more, and as the Ice Spear thrust out, countless Ice Crystals turned into a curtain-like sweep toward Wen Xin.

Don't just stand there, keep fighting!

Rip!

Chen Yu, who had been stunned for a moment, also let out a long breath at this moment, runes swirling between her fists, and she unleashed a set of martial techniques to attack.

Bang bang bang!

Runes and Ice Spears collided, Golden Light and ice shards constantly splattered out.

The Long Spear in Chen Yan's hand shattered, then condensed again, then shattered again, yet his body was like a Jiu Long leaping from an abyss, constantly pressing forward.

Within the Po Saint Realm, the Yellow Light representing Formation Energy and the Golden Light representing Artistic Energy emerged continuously.

While Chen Yan was performing the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust, he was also constantly comprehending the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust.

As for the Array that Chen Yu was performing, he was only responsible for watching, not for comprehending; everything was left to the Holy Tree.

And that bright yellow Zhen Character Fruit was also becoming visibly rounder at this moment.

Nineteen!

Twenty!

…………

Twenty-five!

…………

Thirty-five!

…………

Seeing this, Chen Yan's heart began to beat violently.

Too much!

With so much, he was afraid that if he struck too hard, the opponent would directly forfeit.

Actually, the opponent's strength is not weak, but her combat experience is still a bit lacking.

Chen Yan does not use Horizontal Refinement, but his grasp of the timing for dodging and attacking, as well as his combat strategy, is far superior to the opponent's.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz!!!!

A shrill buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and Chen Yan, who was still attacking, saw his pupils suddenly shrink.

He saw that Wen Xin, whom he had swept with a spear and forced to retreat, had suddenly paused; a feeling of extreme danger arrived, and Chen Yan's pupils shrank sharply.

Boom!

An inexplicable, immense force slammed into Chen Yan's body, as if he had been hit by a Mountain, and Chen Yan flew backward, subsequently falling at the edge of the Arena.

"Hmm!"

Chen Yan let out a low grunt and looked at a Golden Light Array Disk with profound Grain Marks on his chest, upon which characters were jumping, painting a Mountain.

Shock!

Chen Yan's pupils trembled; this Array Pattern was applied to his own body?

How was it applied?

How was it done?

None of that matters!

Experiencing this Array Disk firsthand, the Yellow Light within the Po Saint Realm is brilliant and vast!

Within the Observation Area, exclamations suddenly rang out one after another.

"The Array Disk is acting on the enemy!"

Outside the Arena, the Host spoke in shock:

"Has the contestant Wen Xin already reached such a level?

Every time she makes a move, it seems she is suppressed everywhere, but in reality, she is applying her own mental energy to Bing Yi until she unleashes this Array Disk!"

As the Host's voice fell, the Observation Area erupted like Thunder, the sound like waves.

"Terrifying, this is an Array genius!"

"Does Yunmeng City have such a genius? Which one on the Heavenly Pride list is this?"

"It must be one of the geniuses hidden by those wealthy families."

"To be able to fight Wen Xin to this extent, Bing Yi is also a Heavenly Pride, a very strong one!"

…………

As everyone was talking, Chen Yu did not give her opponent any chance at all.

Light flickered all over her body, her legs leaped up, and like a thrown Mammoth Stone, she slammed her foot toward Chen Yan's chest.

Rip!

The runes on the toe were like thunder, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, as if they were about to tear Chen Yan directly apart.

Within the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman's red lips parted and closed.

She had not taught this move to Chen Yu; it was something Chen Yu had comprehended herself!

Using a defensive Array in reverse, and even applying it to another person.

A genius!

This is a true genius!

The surroundings were silent, gazes became incomparably serious, and the battle would reach its result in this instant!

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Ten Thousand Daos of Cold Light appeared, and countless Ice Crystals shot out from bottom to top.

"It's useless!" A Smile appeared on the corner of the Red Skirt Woman's mouth.

This kind of Array cannot be broken from the inside out; it can only be torn apart from the outside in.

This is a defensive Array, after all, just a reversed one.

Yet in the next moment, the Red Skirt Woman and the descending Chen Yu both felt their Pupils tremble.

They saw the Ten Thousand Daos of Ice Crystals that had erupted from Bing Yi suddenly turn in mid-air, blasting toward Bing Yi.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Countless Ice Crystals exploded on Bing Yi, countless trails of Cold Frost rolled and stretched, and Snow splattered.

Chen Yu, who was about to strike down, felt her Pupils tremble and dodged away.

Can a person attack themselves for the sake of victory?!

At this moment, she actually thought of her Brother.

"This!" Beside them, the Host opened his mouth wide, shouting in extreme shock:

"He's crazy!

Bing Yi is crazy!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The sound of Ice Crystals striking resounded across the area, the Ice Crystals shattering like jade plates struck by pearls, Frost blades breaking against a cold river!

The people in the Observation Area were now becoming numb.

In their impression, Bing Yi was an extremely elegant Qi-Blood Warrior who would not be this crazy.

At this moment, they were incomparably shocked.

Boom!

Amidst countless ice shards, a Long Spear thrust out; Chen Yu's Pupils shrank, her palms erupted with Array Patterns, and she slammed them together.

Bang!

The Ice Spear shattered, and Chen Yu's palm stirred up a Wind Element wave, clearing away the sky-filling ice shards.

The Black Ink Robes Youth was half-kneeling on the Arena, and as his right hand waved, another Long Spear thrust out.

Bang!

Chen Yu broke it with another palm; she wanted victory!

The next moment, the Youth's body leaped high, and he threw an Ice Spear with his right hand; Chen Yu gritted her Silver teeth, endured the Cold Intent, and grabbed the Long Spear with one hand.

The next instant, the Youth's black robes surged, and countless Ice Crystals flew out from his left sleeve, forcing Chen Yu back.

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman was slightly stunned.

The opponent has such decisive combat talent.

Attacking himself, attacking the enemy.

Every movement is within his Scheme.

This is completely different from Chen Yan; Chen Yan is violent, crazy, and reckless.

This person is cold, ruthless, and calculates every step!

Yunmeng City, this Small City, how exactly does it cultivate geniuses?

The battle continues!

The Host became completely numb.

The Observation Area erupted with wave after wave of exclamations.

They were able to endure for so long; it was truly worth it.

A long time later.

Before the Long Spear in Chen Yan's hand could fall, the Woman named Wen Xin walked directly off the Arena.

Chen Yu's body trembled, and walking was extremely difficult.

Her mental power and physical strength had reached her own Limit, and she had even broken through her own Limit twice just now.

On the Arena, Chen Yan was speechless.

Was he still too aggressive?

【Breaking Saint Tree Level Four: 4/10

Strength: 59/100

Blood: 28/100

Technique: 71/100

Array: 77/100】

After one night of teaching, the Zhen Character Fruit increased by more than fifty percent.

In the past, this would have already condensed thirty-five Zhen Character Fruits.

The Technique Character Sacred Fruit also grew significantly, all related to the Chaos Abyss Art and the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust.

Throughout the entire battle, Chen Yan did not use any strength related to the path of Horizontal Refinement.

He experienced SoulRefining with his whole heart and soul.

This was why it brought Chen Yan such great gains.

At the same time, Wen Xin, who had already left the Arena, suddenly looked back and gazed over, then left again.

The reason she suddenly looked back was because the Red Skirt Woman told her that this Ice Master did not use his full strength during the exchange.

If Ice Master wanted to end the battle, the battle time would have been at least halved.

In Chen Yu's heart, it would be a lie to say she did not feel upset.

"Xiaoyu, your path is still very long; do not dwell on a single moment," the Red Skirt Woman said gently.

"It's fine, Master." Beneath the Mask, Chen Yu smiled brightly:

"At least I can use points to exchange for things."

Soon, a White Skirt Woman arrived, and Chen Yu followed her away.

Behind them, the Host shouted, only then realizing what had happened:

"Wen Xin's winning streak is broken; tonight belongs to..."

The Host's voice was stretched to the limit:

"Ice Master's!"

In an instant, cheers erupted like boiling water.

Chen Yu looked back; the Youth with coldness emanating from his entire body was still standing there quietly, enjoying everyone's gaze, yet giving off an extremely icy feeling.

A terrifying opponent.

Chen Yu thought to herself.

What she did was still not enough.

Having such a Master, she had actually suffered defeat after defeat.

Not as good as her Elder Brother, not as good as Ice Master.

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yu walked out of a Cultivation Room.

"The feeling of absorbing Thought Crystals is truly good, Master." A hint of satisfaction appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.

"The Thought Crystals in a place like this are still far too inferior; your two hours of absorption are not as effective as one minute of absorbing high-grade Thought Crystals."

"It is already very good." Chen Yu smiled, walking in the Corridor on the third floor, looking down at the Arena through a glass wall, her Mu Guang trembling.

That Ice Master was actually still there!

"Are there no Silver Rank Members left to enter the ring!" the Host shouted loudly:

"Is there no one willing to break Ice Master's Ten Consecutive Wins?!"

Inside the Observation Area, half of the Audience had already left.

The remaining Audience rubbed their sleepy eyelids, all saying disappointing things.

Chen Yu's Mu Guang flashed; Ice Master had reached Ten Consecutive Wins!

"Since that is the case!" the Host's body rose slightly:

"Your match points are increased once again!"

"Ten-Point Battle!!!"

Whoosh!

Cheers rose again.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, a Ten-Point Battle!

To the side, a staff member wearing a White Skirt walked over and smiled:

"Ice Master has already achieved Ten Consecutive Wins in the Silver Rank, and is now ranked eighteenth in the Silver Rank; previously, there were already no Silver Rank contestants willing to enter the ring.

Our internal senior management decided to increase the point rewards; participating contestants will only have one point deducted if they lose, but if they win, they will receive the corresponding reward points."

The White Skirt Woman sighed: "A Ten-Point Battle is almost reaching the level of a Gold Rank boxing match."

Chen Yu's expression carried astonishment:

"Then how much has he obtained?"

"Ice Master has already continuously obtained thirty-five points; if it weren't for him, your continued winning streak would also have triggered a multi-point battle."

The White Skirt Woman said with a hint of regret:

"It's a pity he encountered Ice Master."

The White Skirt Woman shook her head; Wen Xin was already talented enough, but Ice Master was a step better.
