Chapter 140

A mouthful of blood erupted from Gao Yao's teeth the instant he fell, and at that moment, dust billowed across the arena, causing a slight tremor. When the dust cleared, Gao Yao's body was revealed.

Everyone looked on, then immediately sucked in a sharp breath.

There, Gao Yao's face was caked in blood, his body trembling and convulsing uncontrollably. His waist was severed, his face pale, his breath barely there. The seventh-grade weapon, Flame Spear, had long since fallen outside the Yanwuchang, nowhere to be found. At this moment, Gao Yao was barely clinging to life.

They had no doubt that if someone kicked him now, Gao Yao would die instantly. They were stunned—Xu Chen had utterly crushed Gao Yao, yet controlled the force so precisely? Unless there was an enormous power gap, how could Xu Chen achieve this? Now they saw Xu Chen, unharmed, hands clasped behind his back, hovering in midair, his expression utterly calm, as if Gao Yao meant nothing to him—another sharp jolt struck their hearts. This casual demeanor was truly absurd. "He didn't use Protective Qi!"

"He didn't use Shen Yu armor either!"

The next second, elders and disciples who knew Xu Chen burst into exclamations. Their mouths hung open—this was outright domination, and it happened too fast… Simply with his bare body, he had crushed Gao Yao, who wielded a seventh-grade weapon and was at Seventh Grade Mid-stage. Just how strong was Xu Chen's physical body?

Moreover, they sensed Xu Chen's battle experience was extraordinarily rich—because that control of force was absolutely perfect. Even as elders who had lived for thousands of years, they found not a single flaw. Only two words could describe it: prodigy.

Xu Chen now looked at the stunned referee: "Won't you declare the result?" The referee hurriedly said: "First match—Xu Chen, overwhelming victory—no, Xu Chen wins!" He had blurted it out instinctively, then realized such language was inappropriate for the arena and quickly corrected himself.

"Hmm!"

Xu Chen nodded faintly upon hearing this.

Such an opponent didn't even require him to release Protective Qi.

Since Gao Yao had claimed he could cripple his opponents, Xu Chen would cripple Gao Yao first—save him the trouble of that arrogant boasting. "Whoosh!"

With that, Xu Chen immediately used Space Movement and returned to his seat. The entire process was effortless, unscathed. At this moment, countless people who didn't know Xu Chen stared at him, dazed. They hadn't expected the gap between the Young Palace Master of Jixia Academy and the Saint Son of Lilong Sect to be this vast.

At the same level, he was utterly crushed!

Did that mean only Seventh Grade Late-stage could even hope to fight Xu Chen? Instantly, they were all stunned and alarmed.

Then who, after this, could stand against Xu Chen? ……Ten thousand.
