Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

The top 25 were selected. For a moment, the entire Stellar Sect was talking about these 25 people. They were talking about the champion, the dark horse, and so on. Everyone's heart was burning with passion. Every one of them had a candidate that they had high hopes for.    

    

Among them, the one who was the most popular was Zhou Yong. He was known as the biggest dark horse of the champion, and the one with the most hope.    

    

He was a young Half Step Martial King, and he was also known as the most outstanding genius of his generation. Even Ao Lingchen, Xia Yuhee, Wang Chuan, and the other geniuses were highly regarded. However, compared to this person who was comparable to the elders of the various sects, he was obviously inferior.    

    

On a flat peak platform in Stellar Sect, trees stood tall, and the surrounding spiritual energy filled the air. In this fairyland, there were a large number of wooden houses.    

    

In one of these orderly wooden houses, there was a courtyard. There were nearly ten people sitting at the long table, and the fragrance of hot tea wafted in front of them.    

    

"Senior disciple Qing Chen, do you really not need to go into seclusion to heal your injuries?"    

    

Ao Lingchen's voice rang out from the courtyard. The people sitting here were Ao Lingchen, Qing Chen, Xia Jingxue, and the others.    

    

Zi Yun's figure did not appear here. Because of Yan Mo's tragic death, she had shut herself in her own house. She did not even look at the intense fight just now.    

    

Qing Chen lightly sipped the hot tea that he had picked up. He was calm and composed as he smiled faintly, "Don't worry. This little injury will not do anything to me. It just so happens that I need to use the injuries in my body as a tempering to make myself stronger."    

    

"I have my own plans. Junior brother Ao, don't say anymore."    

    

As he spoke, a fierce and firm look emerged in Qing Chen's eyes, and a wisp of a handsome expression flashed between his brows.    

    

Not going to heal his injuries, but using his injuries to temper himself. This was the stubbornness in Qing Chen's heart that he was unwilling to accept, and also the way he expressed that he wasn't a weakling.    

    

He had suffered a crushing defeat to the point that he needed to recognize him. Although Qing Chen didn't say it out loud, he still felt very unpleasant in his heart. He had never thought that he would stop at the top 50, and that he wouldn't even be able to enter the top 25 of the Desolate Domain's young generation.    

    

Even if he knew that it wasn't because he didn't have the strength to enter the top twenty-five, or that he dared to say that his strength was enough to enter the top ten, so what? He had lost, and stopped at the top twenty-five.    

    

No one would care about the reason why the loser had lost. Everyone would only remember that Qing Chen had stopped at the top 50 of the Desolate Domain's younger generation.    

    

Therefore, Qing Chen wanted to use the pain in his body to torture himself. He wanted to use this injury to temper his body, and wash away his previous shame in the future.    

    

Ao Lingchen did not know what Qing Chen was thinking, but he could roughly guess it. However, when he thought of the severe injuries in Qing Chen's body, he subconsciously frowned.    

    

As if he could see Ao Lingchen's complicated feelings, Qing Chen casually dropped the teacup.    

    

"Alright, don't think about it anymore. I have come with you this time because I have something to remind you about that Zhou Yong."    

    

Qing Chen looked at Ao Lingchen nonchalantly, his tone unusually solemn.    

    

When Zhou Yong was mentioned, Ao Lingchen's expression became serious, and a deep fear emerged in his eyes.    

    

In the battle between Zhou Yong and Qing Chen, he had already displayed a shocking combat strength. The power of a Half Step Martial King was beyond imagination. It was not something a Peak of Martial Sect Stage could compare with. The reason why Qing Chen was able to fight with him for so long was because he had comprehended an even stronger sword energy. It allowed him to fight this powerful warrior in a short period of time.    

    

No matter what, Zhou Yong, the only Half Step Martial King, was a huge gap that they couldn't cross. It was a towering mountain peak.    

    

A deep sense of fear flashed across Qing Chen's eyes as he looked at Ao Lingchen. He spoke in a heavy tone, "You have seen Zhou Yong's strength. Half Step Martial King is the half-step that most people desire. Although this is only a half-step, compared to Peak of Martial Sect Stage, the difference is like heaven and earth."    

    

"If the strength of an ordinary Peak of Martial Sect Stage is compared to one, then our top Peak of Martial Sect Stage Heavenly Pride is one point three, while I, who has comprehended the sword energy, is one point eight, but Zhou Yong who has taken half a step forward is two."    

    

Qing Chen's expression was solemn as he spoke in a serious manner. His eyes were filled with intense fighting intent.    

    

"One, two."    

    

Hearing Qing Chen's explanation, Xia Jingxue and the others muttered with puzzlement.    

    

However, Ao Lingchen's expression became unusually solemn.    

    

From Qing Chen's explanation, Ao Lingchen understood what he meant.    

    

With the strength of a Peak of Martial Sect Stage as the base, a powerful Peak of Martial Sect Stage like Tianfeng Prince was equivalent to 1.3 times the combat strength of an ordinary Peak of Martial Sect Stage. After comprehending the sword energy, Qing Chen would have 1.8 times the combat strength of an ordinary Peak of Martial Sect Stage, but Zhou Yong, who had just broken through to the half-step Peak of Martial Sect Stage, would have two times the combat strength of an ordinary Peak of Martial Sect Stage.    

    

Don't underestimate this amplifier of a few times. Take Tianfeng Prince's strength as a comparison with an ordinary Peak of Martial Sect Stage. Just the amplification of 1.3 times had an amplification of 0.3. It gave him the power to suppress and even kill his opponent in an instant.    

    

Now, Zhou Yong had actually reached 2.3 times the amplification. How terrifying would this kind of power be?    

    

Ignoring Ao Lingchen's shock, Qing Chen continued, "It seems like I can fight Zhou Yong with my 1.8 amplitude, but in fact, I know it very well. Although I didn't seem to be at a disadvantage in the intense battle with him, however, the injuries I caused him weren't serious. Instead, his internal organs were almost shattered. "    

    

Qing Chen wasn't proud of himself for being able to fight against such a powerful Zhou Yong. Instead, his face was filled with seriousness and fear.    

    

Looking at Qing Chen's solemn and fearful face, Ao Lingchen furrowed his brows into a straight line. Zhou Yong's strength seemed to have exceeded his expectations.    

    

"Senior disciple Qing Chen, from your objective point of view, if I were to fight Zhou Yong, what do you think my chances of winning would be?"    

    

After a moment of silence, Ao Lingchen's eyes lit up, and his combat intent surged.    

    

When faced with a formidable opponent, not only did Ao Lingchen not have the slightest bit of fear, the raging combat intent in his heart had completely ignited his desire to fight.    

    

Zhou Yong could be said to be the target of many people. Everyone knew that if they could defeat him, they would use this opportunity to break through, and it would be enough for them to break through to a higher bottleneck.    

    

Ao Lingchen was no exception. He also treated this powerful opponent as a whetstone to sharpen his strength.    

    

Qing Chen looked at Ao Lingchen with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. "You are the most talented genius I have ever seen, even if you didn't use your divine pagoda. Once you use the pagoda... Your strength will be greatly enhanced. I will try to analyze it. I have 1.8 times amplitude, which is comparable to me comprehending the sword aura. However! "    

    

After a pause, Qing Chen said seriously," This kind of power is enough to fight Zhou Yong, but if you want to defeat him... It's still not enough, unless you can break through to the next realm. You are the one who has broken through to the Peak of Martial Sect Stage. I believe that you, who has such a powerful combat strength even though you are only at the Martial Sect Stage Late Period... Once you break through to the Peak of Martial Sect Stage, with the pagoda in your hand, you will be able to defeat Zhou Yong! "    

    

Qing Chen's confident words rang out from his mouth and echoed throughout the courtyard.
