Chapter 62 Nothing More Than That
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
This day, in the evening.
Ji Chen successfully achieved a breakthrough in the Xuanling Tower and smoothly entered the fifth level of the Ningmai Realm.
Now, his combat power has improved by many levels compared to when he just joined the inner sect.
Just when he was planning to go back.
Suddenly, someone blocked the way in the square ahead.
Wan Lei.
This is a master on the Hidden Dragon List. His cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Condensed Veins Realm and he is ranked 89th on the Hidden Dragon List.
"Hua Tian asked you to come?"
Ji Chen looked at him, his face appearing very calm and composed.
Today, his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Condensing Veins Realm, and his combat power has been greatly improved. Even if he faces an expert at the ninth level of the Condensing Veins Realm, he has a great chance of winning.
"You're not stupid. You know who you provoked."
Wan Lei sneered, his eyes swept over Ji Chen with an extremely unfriendly expression.
"Although Hua Tian has many followers, you are ranked 89th on the Hidden Dragon List. I don't think you are inferior to others." Ji Chen narrowed his eyes.
"good."
Wan Lei also spoke straightforwardly, "I am not a follower of Hua Tian, but I came here at his invitation."
"What benefits did he give you?" Ji Chen asked.
"Ten thousand spirit stones."
Wan Lei didn't hide anything and told everything.
"Ten thousand spirit stones, just to ask you to teach me a lesson?" Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was fishy.
For inner disciples like them, ten thousand spirit stones are definitely not a small amount.
Even Hua Tian would not be able to take it out.
Not to mention, he used ten thousand spirit stones just to find Wan Lei to teach him a lesson.
"lesson?"
Wan Lei sneered, staring at Ji Chen, "I want to destroy your cultivation!"
"You are very confident, but I don't think you can do it." Ji Chen smiled, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
"Before I came here, I heard people say that you were extremely arrogant. Now it seems that it is true."
Wan Lei was disdainful. He had reached the ninth level of the Condensed Veins Realm and was ranked 89th on the Hidden Dragon List. He was confident that he could defeat Ji Chen.
"Buzz!"
Without further ado, a cold light suddenly flashed in Wan Lei's eyes, and then a majestic aura burst out from his body.
Many disciples gathered in the square were alarmed and came over to watch.
"Shh!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wan Lei took the first step. He turned into a shadow and quickly approached Ji Chen.
"Boom!"
As he moved, he clenched his fists tightly, and a strong spiritual power poured out, completely enveloping his fists.
In the blink of an eye, Wan Lei came in front of Ji Chen, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he punched Ji Chen hard in the chest.
"Impossible."
Ji Chen snorted coldly but did not retreat.
In close combat, he has a divine body and is confident that no one can be his opponent.
Before coming here, Wan Lei had heard a lot about Ji Chen from others. He knew that he was a sword genius who had comprehended the meaning of sword. Long-range attacks would not be good for him. Therefore, he planned to use close combat to suppress Ji Chen and end the battle quickly!
But how could he know that the so-called sword intent was not Ji Chen's biggest trump card at all.
The divine body is!
"Boom!"
In a flash, facing Wan Lei's punch, Ji Chen did not dodge, but clenched his fist and fought back.
"court death!"
Wan Lei couldn't help but sneer when he saw this. With the ninth level of Condensing Veins Realm, he was confident that Ji Chen would not be able to withstand a close combat. But now, the opponent had no intention of keeping a distance, but wanted to confront him head-on. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly courting death!
"Ok?"
But soon, the expression on Wan Lei's face suddenly froze, because at the moment when the two fists made contact, he only felt that his punch was like hitting some kind of hard divine iron.
"boom!"
A muffled sound echoed and spread all around.
Then everyone around could see that in the collision of this punch, Wan Lei was directly blown away.
Ji Chen stood there without retreating a single step.
The difference is clear at a glance!
"what!"
His body fell heavily to the ground in the distance. Wan Lei hugged his arms and began to scream. It seemed that due to excessive pain, his facial expression became distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he rolled over in pain wailing.
"Ninth level of Condensed Veins Realm? No. 89 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
At the same time, Ji Chen's cold voice reached his ears, "That's all."
As he spoke, Ji Chen slowly walked towards Wan Lei and finally arrived in front of him.
"boom!"
He stepped hard on Wan Lei's chest, pinning him down as he struggled to get up from the ground.
"puff!"
Wan Lei started coughing up blood, felt a tightness in his chest, and almost fainted.
"Since you want to destroy my cultivation, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A cold voice came out from Ji Chen's mouth, and a fierce light flashed in his deep eyes. Then he raised his big foot and stomped down hard again.
"Crack!"
A dull bang, accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, reached the ears of the people around.
Wan Lei's ribs on his chest were broken directly, and his spiritual sea was also shattered by Ji Chen's kick.
"puff!"
After coughing up blood repeatedly, Wan Lei felt a heaviness in his chest, his eyes became dull, and he eventually fainted on the spot.
Soon, what happened here alarmed two elders, and they rushed over as soon as possible.
After checking Wan Lei's internal condition, the two elders' expressions suddenly became much uglier.
One of them frowned and looked at Ji Chen, "As a fellow disciple, why would you be so cruel?"
Although the sect does not oppose fighting between disciples, the premise is that they cannot go too far.
In addition, Wan Lei is a genius ranked 89th on the Potential Dragon List and has great value for training. However, his spiritual sea was crushed by Ji Chen's foot and his cultivation was lost. Such a thing has obviously crossed the line and exceeded the rules set by the sect.
"Please understand, the two elders, it was Wan Lei who provoked me first."
Ji Chen clasped his fists slightly, looking neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "Moreover, he just admitted that he was bribed to come here to destroy my cultivation. I was just defending myself."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, the two elders frowned even more.
Obviously, after the outer sect competition, Ji Chen's unparalleled talent had already become known to everyone.
Compared to Wan Lei, Ji Chen is the future of Yuhua Sect and cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Nine spiritual veins plus sword intent, this kind of talent is something that the Yuhua Sect does not want to lose at all.
If it is true as Ji Chen said, that Wan Lei had said such words in person, then even if what happened today is investigated, Ji Chen will not be held responsible, and everything is Wan Lei's own fault.
"Don't worry, the Elders' Council will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it was really Wan Lei who wanted to harm you first, then you can't be blamed."
The two elders spoke up, not daring to deal with the matter casually. They were naturally aware of Ji Chen's current status, and they needed to report to the Great Elder Ling Zhuo and even the Headmaster Xiao Yin before making a decision.
