Chapter 1164: Chapter 1159: The Most Embarrassed Challenger Just now, there were quite a few talents thinking about defeating the geniuses who returned from the Main World. When Lin Xuefei showed her true skills, the entire audience was instantly shocked. Murong Guang, with a cultivation level at the Late Stage Star Condensation, was once the first on the Northern Domain’s “Heavenly Pride Rank,” and among the top contenders present, yet he was easily defeated. As for Lin Xuefei’s cultivation strength, most people simply couldn’t see through it. “What exactly is her realm?” Ye Luofeng asked Chen Yu. Lin Xuefei’s performance just now made her feel a sense of powerlessness as well. “Four and a Half Stars.” Chen Yu replied with a calm face, it seemed Lin Xuefei was doing quite well in the Main World. Ordinary people thought Lin Xuefei was a Four-star King, but in reality, she was Four and a Half Stars, and in the recent battle, she hadn’t even used her full skills. “What about the King of Fallen Moon?” Ye Luofeng continued to ask. Clearly, she also wanted to challenge the geniuses who returned from the Main World, but Lin Xuefei’s cultivation was a minor realm higher than hers. “The King of Fallen Moon is only at the peak of the late stage.” “As for Long Chen, he is also a Four and a Half Stars King, his aura is more restrained, and he might be slightly stronger than Lin Xuefei in terms of strength.” Chen Yu casually introduced the situation of Long Chen as well. In a mutual comparison, the King of Fallen Moon seemed to fare poorly in the Main World, perhaps encountering some difficulties and troubles. Long Chen in the Demon Race territory, who knows what opportunity he had. However, over the past few decades, Chen Yu’s cultivation stood at the top among those people back in the day. Unquestionably, if any were to guide the talents of the Great Yu Realm, it would be Chen Yu. At present, he was pointing out Shen Ji, who, unaware of his fortune, was indifferent to Chen Yu’s guidance. The grand gathering continued. Originally, there were still many who wanted to challenge the geniuses returning from the Main World, but now they retreated. The subsequent sparring returned to a calm. Some who came to join the fun also took the stage to showcase their skills. Most of them were at the Early-stage Star Condensation level, eager for guidance from a strong figure like Lin Xuefei. After all, they had been to the Main World, having seen and experienced what ordinary kings could not match. “Junior Brother, I’m going up.” Tu Zhixiang eagerly took the stage, challenging a fellow talent from the Eastern Domain of the same level. Generally speaking, challengers had some confidence. Tu Zhixiang’s battle ended in victory after more than 200 moves. The opponent was strong, but within her expectations, she gained some combat experience and the victory. As a battle enthusiast, after this fight, she challenged another person. But this time, she lost. The gathering of heavenly talents slowly moved back to its climax. The once top figures of the “Heavenly Pride Rank” took turns to showcase their skills. At this moment, the Guang Clan’s talent, “Guang Lingshui,” stepped forward. Among the six Middle Ancient Clans, some clans were mysterious, and a few remained secluded for years, unknown to outsiders. And Guang Lingshui’s challenge target was precisely Long Chen, one of the talents returning from the Main World. The scene was enthusiastic. After Murong Guang’s challenge to Lin Xuefei, finally, someone else challenged the returning genius from the Main World again. As soon as Guang Lingshui took the stage, she brought out a pipa, and with a gentle stroke, a golden sound wave flew towards Long Chen like a blade. Among the six Middle Ancient Clans, the Guang Clan excelled in the Music Path, and Guang Lingshui’s cultivation reached the Late Stage Star Condensation. However, Long Chen stood still, unmoving, allowing Guang Lingshui’s attack to fall on him, making a “ding ping” sound! This scene shocked outsiders. Long Chen didn’t make a move, as a genius returning from the Main World, the main character of this gathering, he typically wouldn’t exert full force to instantly defeat an opponent, as it was meant for exchange and evaluation, doing so would be less graceful. “As expected of the genius returning from the Main World!” Guang Lingshui’s play suddenly intensified, and the atmosphere seemed to appear illusionary, her melodies transformed into a galloping golden army charging forth. “What remarkable Music Path.” Many were astonished by Guang Lingshui’s performance. But Long Chen still didn’t make a move, relying on his formidable Demon Race physique, he withstood Guang Lingshui’s attack, until after ten moves, he struck with a claw, knocking Guang Lingshui off the stage. Long Chen won, no one doubted it, though it seemed rather effortless. The Guang Clan talent at the Late Stage Star Condensation had unleashed all her means, yet couldn’t break Long Chen’s defense. At this moment, the next challenger stepped onto the stage. She was a cold white-clothed fairy, the moment she appeared, countless sword shadows emerged on the arena, with a sharp Sword Qi. “Absolute Sword Immortal, Guan Aoxue.” “She once took an upper seat at the Food God’s Feast, unfortunately didn’t enter the Main World, but her talent is beyond question!” The crowd held a trace of anticipation for Guan Aoxue’s appearance. Chen Yu and the King of Fallen Moon had a deeper impression of this woman. “King of Fallen Moon, in the past ‘Heavenly Pride Ranking’ battle, I lost to you, today I want to fight you again.” Guan Aoxue’s challenge target was the King of Fallen Moon. Battle commenced instantly. The space around Guan Aoxue twisted, revealing countless invisible sharp swords. With a wave of her jade hand, countless sharp swords pierced through the void, barely discernible to the naked eye, sweeping towards the King of Fallen Moon from all directions, all were dazzling sword lights. The King of Fallen Moon’s palm amassed a dark yellow brilliance, radiating brightly, he swung his hand, shattering most of the incoming Sword Qi. Guan Aoxue’s gaze sharpened, with more sword shadows surging around her, the number of Sword Qi on the arena increased, reaching an astonishing level, filling the entire arena densely, all were swords! This battle persisted for twenty moves before the King of Fallen Moon broke through Guan Aoxue’s attack and sent her flying. The King of Fallen Moon won. Yet through this battle, everyone noticed that the King of Fallen Moon’s strength seemed not as formidable as they imagined! Compared to Lin Xuefei and Long Chen earlier, he was significantly lacking. The crowd’s enthusiasm was reignited. “Even among the main world return geniuses, there are differences in strength. If the King of Fallen Moon’s power is like that, then Chen Yu should be weaker.” Ye Lingwang’s gaze was fixed on Chen Yu. He was unfamiliar with the other three returning geniuses but had a strong hostility towards Chen Yu. “Chen Yu, I would like to inquire about your skills.” Ye Lingwang leaped onto the martial arts arena. Another challenger for the main world return genius, and Chen Yu was the last one. Ye Lingwang, with his late-stage Star Condensation, should be able to draw out Chen Yu’s abilities. After this battle, it should be clear who among the four returning geniuses is stronger or weaker. Chen Yu recognized this challenger. Back when the King led an expedition against Meng Family Village, he was defeated by Chen Yu and returned without success. “It’s an honor that King Tianyu still remembers me, in this battle, I hope King Tianyu will give me some guidance.” Ye Lingwang said with an evil smile. If Chen Yu were to crush him with overwhelming strength after these words, it would seem petty and vindictive. “No problem at all, if your attack can even touch the hem of my clothing, I will consider it my loss.” Chen Yu replied with a smile. The crowd was astonished; no one expected Chen Yu to say such a thing, it was way too arrogant. Defeating a return genius from the main world was unrealistic, but just touching the hem of his clothing seemed simple. “Chen Yu is too arrogant, has he forgotten that the Yin Clan is skilled in ghost refining and corpse refining?” “It’s said Ye Lingwang has eighteen ‘Ghost Kings’; if they can’t even touch Chen Yu’s hem, I wouldn’t believe it.” Many harbored jealousy towards Ye Lingwang because he might defeat Chen Yu and gain fame in one move. Ye Lingwang felt furious being looked down upon by Chen Yu, but he was still pleased to accept. Ghostly energy surged around Ye Lingwang, turning the martial arts arena into a sinister ghost realm, sending chills down the spine. Behind him, three ghostly figures suddenly flew out, their power close to mid-stage Condensed Star, and their speed was even faster. Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Ye Lingwang sprang forth, approaching Chen Yu with the three ghosts simultaneously, initiating an attack. Ye Lingwang’s ghost claw tore through Chen Yu’s figure, but unfortunately, it was just an afterimage, leaving Ye Lingwang celebrating prematurely. The martial arts arena was specially constructed, quite spacious, and at this moment, Chen Yu hovered in the sky, hands behind his back, calmly overlooking Ye Lingwang. Ye Lingwang summoned five more ghostly figures, generally weaker in power, but fast in speed. This time, Ye Lingwang, together with the eight ghostly figures, charged at Chen Yu. When nine opponents charged. Chen Yu made a slight move, vanished instantly, and reappeared hundreds of feet away, leaving Ye Lingwang empty-handed again. Ye Lingwang gritted his teeth; why was it so difficult to touch even Chen Yu’s hem? “Come on out, all of you!” The ghostly energy erupted again from Ye Lingwang, with black mist rising to the sky, and gloom covering thousands of feet around, filled with ghostly wails. Beside Ye Lingwang, ten more “Ghost Kings” with icy killing intent appeared, their cultivation lower than before, but with eighteen Ghost Kings together, even late-stage peak experts dared not underestimate. Ye Lingwang and the eighteen Ghost Kings charged out simultaneously, countless ghost claws assaulting Chen Yu. Every time Chen Yu’s figure was pierced, the crowd rejoiced, only to find it was just an afterimage. Chen Yu’s movements were elusive, flitting among Ye Lingwang and the eighteen Ghost Kings, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. Everyone knew Chen Yu was a body cultivation practitioner, yet his current speed was astonishingly fast; neither Ye Lingwang nor the eighteen ghostly figures could touch even his hem! “Did Chen Yu give up body cultivation after going to the main world?” “Seems like I underestimated Chen Yu earlier; his performance is not inferior to the King of Fallen Moon.” Guang Lingshui thought to himself. On the martial arts arena. “Ye Lingwang, why not summon some more ghost corpses?” Chen Yu spoke in a bored tone. Hearing this, Ye Lingwang was furious; according to the rules, he had already gained a significant advantage, yet he couldn’t catch up to Chen Yu. Having invested all resources in these eighteen Ghost Kings, he had nothing else left. Seeing that Ye Lingwang had no further moves, Chen Yu stopped teasing him. He suddenly appeared behind Ye Lingwang, raised his foot, and kicked. Ye Lingwang’s face changed drastically, his features twisted in pain. He felt a piercing pain, screamed bitterly. The next moment, Ye Lingwang shrieked as he was sent flying out of the arena. Chen Yu had used a bit of strength in that kick; otherwise, it would be hard to kick Ye Lingwang off the stage directly. Ye Lingwang climbed from the ground, still clutching his backside, drenched in sweat, glaring at Chen Yu with a flushed face. In this battle, he didn’t even touch Chen Yu’s hem, ending in such a disgraceful defeat, making him the most humiliated challenger so far.
