Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Overwhelming Victory! Luo Cheng Wins!
Buzz!
As Luo Cheng’s voice rang out, a Nine-colored Mysterious Egg materialized behind him, radiating nine-colored mysterious light that sparkled brilliantly, standing in equal opposition to Lin Yun’s Scorpion Tail Tiger!
Instantly, countless gazes converged upon him.
"It’s truly a Martial Soul with not even a single star!"
"The rumors were true. Luo Cheng’s awakening was indeed a Wasted Martial Soul! And the most worthless type of waste at that!"
Seeing the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief.
The strength Luo Cheng displayed today was utterly shocking. Many even began to doubt whether Luo Cheng’s supposed Wasted Martial Soul was a fabrication.
Now, it was confirmed with their own eyes!
"Heh, a Wasted Martial Soul with not a single star! Truly an eye-opener. Even the aptitude of a mere servant disciple in the Xuanyuan Sect is a hundred, if not a thousand times better than his!"
The Eighth Prince, Jin Min, curved his lips into a sneer, his face full of disdain.
A Martial Soul like this didn’t even qualify to step through the gates of the Xuanyuan Sect!
Yun Mengli’s bright eyes shifted slightly, revealing a rare flicker of emotion.
On the other side, the gaunt elder beside Luo Yao furrowed his brows and muttered thoughtfully:
"Such a Wasted Martial Soul, yet he managed to cultivate to the Body Tempering Extreme Realm. How peculiar. Could it be that he truly has a Medicine King supporting him from the shadows..."
Within the arena.
Seeing Luo Cheng’s Martial Soul, Lin Yun’s smile grew wider as he mocked:
"A Wasted Martial Soul, and you still dare to flaunt it! Kneel before me!"
After consuming the Violent Blood Pill and breaking into the Transcendence Realm, Lin Yun felt a newfound surge of power, an almost godlike dominance over the world. To him, Luo Cheng wasn’t worth a second thought. With a casual slap of his palm, he struck out.
Boom!
Though it was a mere slap, the sheer force behind it was astonishing—it sliced through the air with a resounding crack!
Luo Cheng neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, he actively threw a punch to meet the incoming strike.
Bang!
Fist and palm collided fiercely, emitting a deep sonic boom.
The next moment, the two figures simultaneously staggered backward.
"An evenly matched exchange!"
"Even the Body Tempering Extreme Realm shouldn’t be this terrifying!"
The entire platform erupted in a chorus of gasps.
The collision between the two ended in a draw!
Lin Yun, having already broken through to the Transcendence Realm, boasted strength surpassing a thousand Jin. For Luo Cheng to contend with him so equally—was there no justice in the world?!
"How is this possible?!"
Lin Yun’s eyes widened in shock, his expression frozen with disbelief!
Luo Cheng rubbed his fist and said indifferently, "So this is the Transcendence Realm? It’s nothing much."
"Damn you! Let’s see how many moves you can withstand!"
Lin Yun descended into madness. His eyes reddened, and in just a few quick strides, he closed in on Luo Cheng. With his hand shaped like a blade, he lashed out with shadowy strikes, each imbued with his full strength.
Unfazed, Luo Cheng countered with the Heavy Mountain Fist Technique, meeting Lin Yun head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The arena was filled with rapid explosions of force as the two exchanged blows. In a mere instant, they’d traded two or three dozen moves, their figures darting about the arena in a dazzling display.
"This is insane! It looks exactly like a fight between Transcendence warriors!"
"Lin Yun has already reached the Transcendence Realm, with strength surpassing a thousand Jin! Yet Luo Cheng is able to match him blow for blow for so long. He must also possess a thousand Jin of strength. For someone in the Body Tempering Realm to achieve this—imagine how strong he’d be upon breaking into the Transcendence Realm! Could he really have awakened a Wasted Martial Soul?"
The onlookers were utterly floored by the unimaginable sight of Luo Cheng standing his ground against Lin Yun.
"Look! Lin Yun is starting to fall behind!"
In the arena, the tides visibly shifted as Lin Yun retreated step by step.
Forced into a breakthrough with the Violent Blood Pill, Lin Yun hadn’t truly stepped into the Transcendence Realm. As the fight dragged on, his strength began to wane, and he was gradually pushed into a disadvantageous position.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all! Luo Cheng, I’ll kill you!! Heavenly Cloud Leg!"
Consumed by rage, Lin Yun’s blood-red eyes overflowed with fury. Letting out a furious roar, he leaped skyward and executed the Four-star Martial Arts technique, Cloud Splitting Leg!
Boom!
Powerful winds surged as Lin Yun channeled every ounce of his strength into the strike, descending like a massive blade, cleaving through the air with unmatched fierceness!
"You want to decide this with one move? I’ll grant your wish!"
Having already gauged his opponent, Luo Cheng stopped holding back. Taking a deep breath, his gaze turned sharp as lightning. Both fists struck out simultaneously!
Left fist: Shaking Mountain. Right fist: Shattering Mountains. The two techniques merged seamlessly into a devastating blow.
Boom!
Lin Yun’s seemingly unstoppable kick was shattered by a single punch, and Luo Cheng’s left fist smashed into his chest with tremendous force.
Splurt!
Lin Yun’s chest caved in as blood spurted a foot out of his mouth. His body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, where he skidded across the surface for seven or eight meters, leaving a trail of blood before coming to a halt, his life or death uncertain.
Silence engulfed the platform before a tidal wave of exclamations erupted.
"Lin Yun... lost!"
"Lin Yun consumed an elixir pill to forcibly break into the Transcendence Realm. For Luo Cheng to defeat him—does that mean Luo Cheng already possesses the strength to rival a First Layer Transcendence warrior?!"
"What was that punch just now? So powerful!"
"It looked like the Luo Family’s Heavy Mountain Fist Technique. But the Heavy Mountain Fist Technique shouldn’t have such destructive power!"
"He clearly awakened a Wasted Martial Soul..."
The crowd gaped in astonishment.
A Body Tempering Realm warrior defeating an opponent at the Transcendence Realm—and in a crushing manner at that! Nobody had predicted such an outcome. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Even Luo Yao stood stunned for a long time, the rise and fall of her chest betraying her inner shock.
When Lin Yun had broken into the Transcendence Realm, she had thought she was destined to lose everything. Yet Luo Cheng overturned all expectations, offering her an unimaginable surprise!
Beside her, the gaunt elder sighed:
"Regardless of his cultivation talent, to master a Three-star Martial Arts technique to the Transformation Realm at such a young age, his comprehension is undoubtedly outstanding. I wonder how long he’s been practicing..."
Hearing this, Luo Yao’s gaze shifted to Luo Cheng, her seductive red lips curling into a smile. "It seems I made the right bet..."
"He won! We won..."
Luo Qingwan stared at the boy in the arena, murmuring to herself.
None were more astonished than the Luo Family members present.
This year’s Hunting Festival had been an emotional rollercoaster for them.
First came Lin Yun’s challenge, then Luo Cheng’s defeat of Lin Yun. Just when they thought victory was secured, Lin Yun broke through to the Transcendence Realm...
"Second Brother, you’ve raised an extraordinary son!"
Luo Heng turned to Luo Hong.
Luo Hong’s emotions surged with pride, his trembling hands betraying his excitement as he recalled Luo Cheng’s promise of reuniting their family.
Perhaps it wasn’t an empty promise after all...
Whoosh!
Lin Canglang darted into the arena, feeding a pill to Lin Yun. Realizing the severity of Lin Yun’s injuries, his smoldering gaze turned to Luo Cheng, seething with killing intent.
All his carefully laid plans had been utterly ruined by Luo Cheng, causing immense losses for the Lin Family!
At this moment, Lin Canglang had the urge to kill Luo Cheng on the spot!
Luo Cheng ignored Lin Canglang’s murderous glare. Instead, he turned and cupped his fists toward City Lord Yun Daojiang, saying, "City Lord, should the results be announced now?"
Yun Daojiang nodded slightly and proclaimed in a booming voice:
"The victor of this duel is Luo Cheng! The Luo Family is the champion of this Hunting Festival!"
Luo Mingshan felt an unprecedented sense of triumph, smiling at Lin Canglang as he said, "Thank you for letting us win... The transfer of North City Market—please ensure it is completed within seven days."
Boom!
A ferocious aura erupted from Lin Canglang, whipping up a gale that swept across the platform.
