Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The True Young King
"What?"
This scene left many present unable to suppress their astonishment.
The Secret Technique that Ren Tingsheng unleashed by refining his blood essence failed to have any effect on Ji Chen. It didn’t even fully exert its pressure before it shattered in the void.
If it weren’t witnessed with one’s own eyes, such an event would be hard to believe.
"What Ancient Emperor Bloodline, esteemed of the Di Race, it seems it’s not that great after all."
Under the gaze of all, Ji Chen let out a faint smile, his words accompanied by a determined stride forward, closing in on Ren Tingsheng.
"Don’t be arrogant, what is the mere Hongmeng Body? If I want to suppress you, it’s effortless!"
Ren Tingsheng snorted coldly, clearly a bit embarrassed and angry. As he spoke, he continuously attacked with various Martial Techniques aimed at pushing Ji Chen back.
"Bang!"
However, facing these attacks, Ji Chen didn’t even take them seriously, breaking them one by one with the force of his fists and palms.
"Swish!"
Finally, Ji Chen’s foot stepped forward, and he vanished instantly from his spot, reappearing right in front of Ren Tingsheng.
His large hand reached forward, grabbing Ren Tingsheng’s collar and yanking him over forcefully.
"Your strength is far weaker than I imagined."
These calm words reached Ren Tingsheng’s ears as Ji Chen’s hand exerted a sudden force, throwing Ren Tingsheng from high up in the sky.
"Bang!"
He crashed down like a mountain, creating a large pit on the ground, buried under rubble.
"You haven’t even matured, yet you dare say you’d suppress me? You’re not even qualified to serve as my sparring partner."
Ji Chen stood in the air, looking down at Ren Tingsheng far below.
Ren Tingsheng clawed his way out of the debris, looking exceptionally disheveled, hair a tangled mess, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"He actually won?"
Around, many were incredulous, entirely unable to anticipate such a result.
In the confrontation with Ren Tingsheng, not only did Ji Chen win, but the process was much simpler than expected.
With the cultivation of the Second Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, he defeated Ren Tingsheng of the Fifth Layer.
If it weren’t witnessed with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to believe.
After all, he was a genius of the Di Race, born with the cultivation of the Vein Condensation Realm, having condensed five Spirit Veins - a prodigy.
Yet who would have thought Ren Tingsheng would be defeated so decisively!
"This indeed is the Hongmeng Body of the Celestial Martial, truly formidable!"
"It seems this person has the potential to challenge the younger generation. The future of Daoxuan surely includes his place."
Many were discussing, as by now they were witnessing Ji Chen’s extraordinariness for the first time.
Previously, many thought Ji Chen’s fame was exaggerated, but after this battle, they finally understood that the Hongmeng Body was even mightier than rumored.
"Brother Ji!"
Outside the crowd, Yu Yuanshan returned to the scene.
Clearly, the confrontation between Ji Chen and Ren Tingsheng had disturbed many in the garden, and Yu Yuanshan had witnessed the entire scene.
"Fairy Qing Ling wishes to see you," he said, evidently having found someone to introduce Ji Chen to.
Ji Chen said nothing, only nodding, and under the gaze of all, he followed Yu Yuanshan away.
Behind the elegant courtyard, in a peach grove.
Led by Yu Yuanshan, Ji Chen arrived here.
Looking around, he saw the peach grove was surrounded by many figures, both male and female, all young faces of notable bearing.
"Thank you all for waiting long,"
Yu Yuanshan brought Ji Chen to the front, smiling and cupping his hands as he introduced, "This is Brother Ji Chen from Celestial Martial, bearer of the Hongmeng Body."
"I am Ji Chen, a pleasure to meet everyone." Ji Chen also slightly cupped his hands.
His gaze swept over, detecting that none of those present were ordinary, their auras remarkable, identities either affluent or prominent, possibly scions of the Di Race or geniuses from some Sacred Land, none of them were ordinary.
"You are the one with the Hongmeng Body, truly extraordinary to meet today."
Sitting on Ji Chen’s left, a young man in brocaded robes smiled faintly, his gaze assessing Ji Chen.
Yu Yuanshan whispered into Ji Chen’s ear, revealing the identity of this brocaded youth, startling Ji Chen.
This brocaded youth was none other than the Hidden Dragon Saint Heir, one of the top talents of Celestial Swift Star, arguably unmatched throughout Daoxuan.
It is said that a year or two ago, the Hidden Dragon Saint Heir had successfully reached the Void Realm, and now his level is unknown.
But what is known is that at this level of characters, Ji Chen could not underestimate them.
"Please take a seat, Sir."
To Ji Chen’s right, a woman in a white long dress also smiled gracefully, guiding him to an empty spot.
This woman’s elegance was unparalleled, astonishingly beautiful with a beauty as if not belonging to the earthly realm.
She was none other than Saintess Qing Ling, one of Daoxuan’s few top young women!
It is said that Saintess Qing Ling was born with divine eyes, able to see through time and the great Dao, understanding all Laws of the world.
Because of this, she surpasses all her peers in the understanding of Laws.
It is known that the Saintess Qing Ling has comprehended at least five different Laws!
This is a powerful trump card and method, as any single Law is profound and exceptional, allowing her to switch at will during combat, achieving unexpected results.
To know that even a talent as strong as Ji Chen, as of now, has only mastered the Sword Law and the Thunder Law.
It is hard to imagine what kind of astounding power would be unleashed if five Laws were simultaneously performed and fused together.
"It is said Brother Ji repelled the shadow of the Ancient Emperor that appeared during the Celestial Essence Tribulation, such an experience is truly unparalleled in history."
"Every Ancient Emperor claims lifelong invincibility, Brother Ji’s ability to repel it shows the extraordinary potential for future achievements. Meeting someone like you today is an honor."
Shortly after Ji Chen sat down, several talents in the gathering raised their glasses to toast him.
To this, Ji Chen responded to each one.
He was well aware that in terms of cultivation and other aspects, compared to most present, he was still far lagging.
After all, his strength was, in the end, merely at the Second Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm.
But like Saintess Qing Ling, Hidden Dragon Saint Heir, which one of them hasn’t entered the level of the Void Realm?
These people are the true geniuses, having made their names known across the Daoxuan Star Realm years ago, the true kings among the younger generation, and Ji Chen didn’t dare show any negligence.
Moreover, when out in the world, making some good connections is always the best thing.
