Chapter 3036: Chapter 3039: The War King’s Palace Challenge

War King’s Palace.

As the ruling power of the western region, the War King’s Palace’s residence is directly a city, named Hundred Battles City.

Those living in Hundred Battles City are all subordinate forces of the War King’s Palace, while the people of the War King’s Palace live in the inner city at the center of the city.

On the gate of the inner city of the War King’s Palace, the three large characters "War King’s Palace" are directly carved.

At this moment the inner city of the War King’s Palace was bustling.

Everyone from the War King’s Palace had gathered in the central square of the inner city.

A huge arena had been built in the center of the square, and there were already two people fighting atop the stage.

Bang!

With a dull thud, a figure was sent flying backwards and crashed down off the arena.

"The Little Princess’s strength is really incredible!"

"Yeah, as expected of the Great Emperor’s woman!"

The surrounding crowd all voiced their admiration.

When Qiu Wenqing and the others arrived at the War King’s Palace, the War King’s wife Lin Ruyan suggested starting with the Unity Realm Stage challenge assessment. After all, today was originally the day of the War King’s Palace’s challenge assessment, and the people of the inner city as well as some Family Heads of powers from the outer city were already waiting here. As for the Sea of Thunder incident in War Canyon, who knew when it would end, so they decided to begin the Unity Realm Stage duels first to avoid everyone waiting in vain.

As for the change in the heavens just now, after discussing it for a while everyone stopped paying attention to it. Matters at the level of Lord Ancestral Dragon were not something they could get involved in. Whether they would discuss it in private was unknown, but for now everyone in the inner city square was focused on watching the challenge assessment.

This was a contest of geniuses in the same realm, and it concerned whether the people of the War King’s Palace could enter Void Nether Academy, so naturally everyone was paying extra attention.

Of the five Integration Realm Peak preparatory students from Void Nether Academy, Kong Wanchen of the Kongling Clan had already left, and Xiang Wuhui was himself the Young Master of the War King’s Palace, so of course the War King’s Palace people wouldn’t challenge him. Therefore, the only ones they could challenge were Cheng Huang’er, Tang Jie, and Li Tianqiong.

However, the reality left them disappointed.

The five Integration Realm Cultivators selected by the War King’s Palace were all knocked down from the arena by Cheng Huang’er and the other two.

Among these three, both Cheng Huang’er and Tang Jie had refined the initial source Power of the Great Dao, while Li Tianqiong had obtained a strand of Lower Supreme power with Jiang Chen’s help back at the Canghai Trade Alliance. Although he had not completely refined it yet, it had greatly strengthened his battle power.

Li Tianqiong was already an elite among those of the same realm, or he wouldn’t have been chosen as a Void Nether Academy preparatory student. With his strength as it was now, he already faintly had the momentum to suppress his peers in the same realm.

"Looks like today’s challenge assessment is going to end here."

Lin Ruyan turned her head, gazing into the distance toward War Canyon, and spoke softly.

Something major seemed to have happened over at War Canyon. In her opinion, the War King and the others probably wouldn’t be able to return today.

"Why end it?"

A light laugh rang out as a spatial rift appeared high above the square, and several figures stepped out from within.

"Greetings, Lord War King!"

"Greetings, War King!"

The crowd in the square all cupped their fists and bowed.

"You’re back."

Lin Ruyan swept a light smile over the War King and the others, her gaze settling on the War King.

"Shang Ping, the five of you go start challenging. Even though... the outcome seems already decided, if you don’t fight at least one bout, I’m afraid you won’t be willing to accept it."

Xiang Wentian’s figure flashed as he leaped to Lin Ruyan’s side, then turned, smiling at Sun Shangping and the others, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

If not for that great battle in War Canyon, Xiang Wentian still had some confidence in Sun Shangping and the rest.

But in that battle he had witnessed the terrifying battle power of Ren Cangsheng and the others, and no longer held expectations for Sun Shangping’s challenge.

As for Jiang Chen, Xiang Wentian was very clear in his heart: unless Sun Shangping and the rest were looking to be abused, they wouldn’t challenge Jiang Chen.

Hearing Xiang Wentian’s words, everyone on the square showed a trace of astonishment.

What did Lord War King mean by that? Wasn’t he boosting others’ morale and crushing his own?

And looking at Sun Shangping and the others, there wasn’t the slightest hint of dissatisfaction on their faces, which made the surrounding crowd reveal looks of surprise.

"Yes!"

Sun Shangping answered softly, then turned to look at Jiang Chen and the others. After hesitating for a moment, he cupped his fists toward Hei Chong. "Brother Hei Chong, please give me your guidance."

Whoosh!

As his words fell, Sun Shangping leaped onto the arena, while Hei Chong followed with a helpless expression.

Of the five, his strength was the weakest. Sun Shangping challenging him was within his expectations.

Seeing Sun Shangping make his choice, Jiang Chen and the others all jumped to Xiang Wentian’s side, quietly watching the duel.

Whoosh!

Brilliant Great Dao Divine Light erupted from Sun Shangping’s body, a vigorous battle will surging forth, instantly enfolding the entire arena.

"Brother Hei Chong, use your full strength for one strike. After one strike, we’ll decide the winner."

Sun Shangping looked at Hei Chong with a solemn expression.

"Alright."

Hei Chong nodded.

Whoosh!

Dazzling radiance appeared as a great sun that made even the void turn illusory manifested above Hei Chong’s head.

"War King Fist!"

Sun Shangping let out a loud shout and punched.

Buzz!

The space before him instantly trembled, surging battle intent merging with the overwhelming Great Dao Divine Light, forming a massive fist that ferociously smashed toward Hei Chong.

"Great Sun Descends!"

Hei Chong gave a low shout, Flame Divine Light erupting from his whole body as the great sun above his head surged forward to meet the incoming fist.

"He’s... using his ultimate technique right off the bat?"

"That’s the War King Fist the War King himself deduced. That’s a Saint Grade Combat Skill!"

"Are they going to decide the outcome with a single move?"

"Feels like... Young Master Sun might be in trouble."

The crowd on the square whispered among themselves, a trace of worry appearing in their eyes as they looked at Sun Shangping.

Rumble!

A deafening roar sounded as the entire arena was wrapped in flames.

Whoosh!

A figure was blasted out of the sea of fire.

"Young Master Sun lost?!"

"H-how is that possible!"

"He must have an unyielding pride and chose to challenge the strongest of the Void Nether Academy preparatory students!"

The surrounding crowd’s expressions all changed as they cried out.

Landing below the arena, Sun Shangping raised his hand to wipe the blood at the corner of his mouth. Hearing the crowd’s comments, he couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

What the hell! What use is pride at a time like this? I challenged the weakest one!

"Brother Sun, thanks for letting me win."

The flames on the arena died down as Hei Chong cupped his fists toward Sun Shangping. After Sun Shangping returned the gesture, Hei Chong’s figure flashed back to Jiang Chen and the others’ side.

"There’s completely no hope now."

Xiang Wentian glanced at the slowly approaching Sun Shangping and muttered softly.

"Hm? This young friend isn’t the strongest among them?"

Lin Ruyan was slightly stunned. She swept a glance over Jiang Chen and the rest and asked in a low voice.

"He’s the weakest one. The strongest is the one you’re familiar with—that kid Jiang Chen."

Xiang Wentian replied softly.

"The wea..."

Lin Ruyan’s eyes flashed with surprise. She turned to size up Jiang Chen and the other four, a grave look appearing in her gaze.

Void Nether Academy truly lives up to its name—even the preparatory students are this strong!
