Chapter 1853: Chapter 1850: Trial Champion!
Seeing the Blood Python winding toward him, Li Chen dodged swiftly, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Immediately, a cold gleam flashed from his sleeve as a dagger pierced through the air, like lightning, stabbing toward the Blood Python’s eye.
The Blood Python let out a piercing shriek of pain.
Li Chen seized the opportunity to withdraw the dagger and stabbed it into the other eye of the Blood Python.
Both eyes of the Blood Python were blinded, causing it to roll violently.
Until it fell off the ten-thousand-foot cliff, shattering to pieces.
After dealing with the Blood Python, Li Chen confirmed there were no other dangers around and cautiously moved forward to pick the Seven-Colored Blood Lotus.
At this moment, his ear twitched slightly.
“It seems someone is coming!”
Realizing this, Li Chen hesitated for a moment before storing the Seven-Colored Blood Lotus in the Storage Ring.
Just as he did so, a group of people hurriedly approached.
“Brother Li Chen, are you okay?”
Seeing Li Chen, Zhao Qinglan rushed over, asking with great concern.
Li Chen waved his hand and said, “I’m fine!”
Li Lang looked at Li Chen with an angry tone, asking, “Where is the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf you mentioned?”
Upon hearing Li Lang’s words, Zhao Qinglan and Aqing were taken aback.
After exchanging a glance, they instinctively began looking around.
Yes, where is the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf?
While everyone looked puzzled, Li Chen pointed to the nearby valley and said, “The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf is over there!”
Following Li Chen’s direction, everyone turned their heads to look.
What they saw shocked them.
“That really is the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf!”
Seeing the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, everyone gasped in surprise.
Then, they looked at Li Chen with disbelief.
“Did you kill this?”
After being stunned for a while, Li Lang finally asked the question.
Li Chen shrugged, saying, “Just luck!”
Hearing Li Chen say it was luck, Li Lang started imagining all sorts of scenarios.
For instance, maybe the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was already seriously ill, or had suddenly died for some reason.
And Li Chen simply got lucky.
However, regardless, Li Chen had killed the sixth-level Demon Beast, Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
After all, luck was also a part of strength.
The trial in Hundred Beast Mountain ended without further danger.
Li Chen, for slaying a sixth-level Demon Beast Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf along with other Demon Beast Cores, accumulated a total contribution score of 66,600 points, setting the highest record since the academy’s founding.
The second place score barely broke thirty thousand, only half of his.
Moreover, the top spot in previous years’ trial rankings was always held by the Spiritual Academy.
Now, it was taken by the Physical College.
This made those Heaven’s Chosen Sons and the Holy Daughters from the Spiritual Academy quite dissatisfied.
After all, they had always believed Spirit Cultivators were the most esteemed.
Others were merely inferior.
Now, being trampled by an inferior, how could they accept it?
Consequently, those so-called Heavenly Pride, under the banner of vindicating the Spiritual Academy, came to challenge Li Chen one after another.
Li Chen was extremely annoyed by these challengers.
Yet, he was powerless to change the situation.
Helplessly, Li Chen had to accept the challenges.
Those challengers, one by one, were no match for him, suffering miserable defeats.
Li Chen scanned the crowd, demanding, “Anyone else?”
“I’ll take you on!”
Before the voice even faded, a burly man appeared, holding a large knife taller than himself, stepping onto the combat arena.
Some recognized the newcomer and cried out in surprise.
“That’s Wang Wu, ranked in the top twenty of the Spiritual Academy’s Heavenly Pride List!”
“Li Chen, with his Innate Divine Strength, is unmatched in the Physical College; Wang Wu likely isn’t his opponent!”
“Whether or not, it’s not for us to decide, we must wait for the result.”
“Then let’s just watch the show!”
…
Following some discussion, all eyes returned to Li Chen and Wang Wu.
Wang Wu dragged his large knife, staring at Li Chen, asking, “Where’s your weapon?”
Li Chen met Wang Wu’s gaze, nonchalantly saying, “I don’t need a weapon to fight you!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Wu immediately became furious.
“Arrogant!”
After a roar of anger, he swung his large knife, like a Fierce Tiger descending a mountain, slashing toward Li Chen.
Facing Wang Wu and his wind-whipping knife, Li Chen remained fearless.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and swung his fists to meet him head-on.
“Clang!”
Li Chen’s fists met Wang Wu’s blade, making a crisp metallic sound.
“Thud thud thud!”
Wang Wu was overwhelmed by Li Chen, forced to retreat continuously.
Even his arm holding the knife went numb, nearly losing feeling.
“Such strength, let’s go again!”
After exclaiming, Wang Wu charged forward again with his knife.
“Gale Blade Technique!”
This Gale Blade Technique was the ancestral sword skill of their Wang family.
The blade swept like autumn wind over fallen leaves, invincible.
Yet Li Chen remained undeterred.
He showed a calm demeanor and a stance of steady control.
As Wang Wu swung his knife, Li Chen suddenly stepped forward, swinging his fist.
“Clang!”
This simple and direct punch collided with Wang Wu’s blade.
Wang Wu may have had strength, but compared to Li Chen, it was insignificant.
With this punch, he flew back like a kite with a broken string and crashed onto the arena.
Li Chen, seeing this, cupped his hands and said, “Thanks for the match!”
Then he ignored Wang Wu, scanned the audience, asking, “Who else is unsatisfied and wants to challenge?”
Qin Yang, seeing Li Chen so proud, was furious.
“Let this Marquis test you!”
“Li Chen, take my blade!”
Upon arrival, Qin Yang did not waste words and directly attacked with his sword.
His swordsmanship was sharp, with each move ruthless, aiming to kill.
Seeing Qin Yang’s vicious assault, Li Chen was taken aback.
He couldn’t understand what had caused this Young Master to hate him so deeply.
After pondering various possibilities, Li Chen still found no answer.
Forget it, it’s pointless to worry!
Anyone daring to threaten him is an enemy.
Unforgivable!
With these thoughts, Li Chen attacked fiercely, fists like cannonballs, tearing the void, blasting toward Qin Yang.
Though Qin Yang’s swordsmanship was sharp, it was mostly flashy and couldn’t breach Li Chen’s defenses.
Li Chen’s attacks, though simple and direct, were effective.
After several exchanges, Qin Yang could only defend, losing the ability to counter, retreating step by step…
