Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Qilin Race
"W... Won?!"
After a brief silence, the entire venue erupted into an uproar.
All the faces of the Human Race Cultivators showed expressions of delight.
Clearly, although Ji Chen had previously defeated Long Shiyuan, his current opponent was Lu Li, a young king from the Ancient Race.
In everyone’s eyes, the odds of Ji Chen winning in this match, at the same Realm, seemed exceedingly slim.
But no one expected the final result of this battle to end in such a manner.
Clean and swift, just one sword strike was enough to defeat Lu Li.
"Was that the aura of a Law just now?"
Gu Hao, Li Yiran, and others couldn’t help but exchange glances, each seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes.
In that single sword strike from Ji Chen, they had all clearly sensed the presence of Law Power.
It should be known that in this age of declining magic, comprehending Laws is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Throughout the world today, there are very few among the younger generation who have comprehended Laws.
"It’s a pity the battle ended too quickly, we couldn’t see which Law he used." Li Yiran squinted his eyes and said.
"He’s indeed got some skills; no wonder he dared to act as a trailblazer."
At this moment, a cold snort resounded from high in the sky, and immediately, a young king of the Ancient Race stepped forward.
This was a youth dressed in a long black robe, standing with his hands behind his back in mid-air, his garments fluttering in the gentle breeze, gazing down imposingly at Ji Chen.
"Enough nonsense, show me what you’ve got." Ji Chen met his gaze and spoke calmly.
If it were a normal match, he definitely wouldn’t dare claim he could defeat any one of them, given the immense gap in Cultivation.
But if it were at the same Realm, he had the absolute assurance and confidence to overpower any strong enemy.
The Hongmeng Body, Nine Spirit Veins, Sword Law, and two types of Emperor Scriptures, with so many trump cards and tactics, Ji Chen believed that even in the same Realm, as long as the cultivation of those like the Crown Prince of the Demon Race was suppressed below the Celestial Essence Realm, they wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
"A nameless pawn dares to be arrogant."
The black-robed youth named Qi Nian, a young king from the Qilin Race, with cultivation at least at the Fifth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm.
At this moment, he also suppressed his Cultivation, dropping from the Fifth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm to the Seventh Layer of the Returning Ruins Realm in just a few breaths.
"Buzz!"
Without a word, a gleam flashed in Qi Nian’s eyes, and he immediately reached down with a powerful hand.
Instantly, amidst the surging golden light, a long spear materialized out of thin air, exuding a sharp and astonishing aura, as if it had locked onto Ji Chen, fiercely thrusting down at him.
"Swoosh!"
Ji Chen let out a cold snort, his foot stomping forcefully as his whole body leaped into the air.
He didn’t retreat but advanced, clenching his fist tightly as holy light burst forth, then he struck out fiercely.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of shattering reached everyone’s ears, and under the watchful gaze of all, they saw that the long spear thrusting down was directly smashed down by a punch from Ji Chen.
"Hmm?"
Such a scene immediately left many people unable to suppress their surprise.
Qi Nian included, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"He actually neutralized Qi Nian’s attack barehanded!" The Crown Prince of the Demon Race and others squinted their eyes.
Gu Hao exclaimed, "Such a strong Physical Power, I thought his Qi and Blood Power was exceptionally strong just now, and now it seems, this person is definitely not a Mortal Body!"
"A special physique..."
Li Yiran and the others were astonished, this was clearly beyond their expectations.
No wonder Ji Chen possessed such incredible combat power, capable of easily overwhelming Lu Li in the same Realm; it turns out he is a Human Race genius with a special physique.
"In the long years of Human Race history, many special physiques have appeared, but only a few can truly be considered powerful, I wonder which kind this person possesses?" many people speculated.
Just from this display, they could tell that Ji Chen’s constitution is not to be underestimated.
"A special physique..."
In the sky, Qi Nian squinted, a hint of surprise appearing on his face as well, after a moment he let out a cold snort, "That’s rather interesting, today, let me see just how capable these so-called different-bodied individuals of the Human Race really are."
It wasn’t his arrogance; the Ancient Race’s strength, and their self-assumed superiority over the Human Race, mainly stemmed from Physical Power being much stronger than the Human Race.
In close combat, ordinary Human Race Cultivators simply couldn’t withstand attacks from the Ancient Race; only those with special constitutions dared to engage head-on with the Ancient Race.
"Swoosh!"
As the crowd discussed, Ji Chen strode toward Qi Nian.
His fist clenched tightly, sparkling with waves of holy light, entwining around him, as if wearing a peerless Treasure Robe.
"Boom!"
When he was not far from Qi Nian, Ji Chen struck out with his fist, causing the space to quake, aiming for his opponent’s chest.
"Buzz!"
Qi Nian snorted coldly; close combat had always been a forte for the Ancient Race, and now, how would he fear it?
Facing Ji Chen’s attack, not only did he not retreat, but he also clenched his fist tightly and retaliated.
"Boom!"
In the next instant, a loud explosion erupted, as if two mountains collided fiercely.
Terrifying energy rippled outwards, causing the entire void to tremble unstoppably.
After a punch exchanged, everyone could see that Qi Nian was repelled, falling into the disadvantage in the confrontation.
"How is this possible?"
Such a scene, instantly startled everyone present.
Be it the Ancient Race or the Human Race Cultivators, all displayed astonishment, finding it unbelievable.
The Qilin are among the earliest creatures born during ancient times, and even after transforming into human form, their scale armor remains like an invisible armor, protecting them all around, offering formidable defensive capabilities.
In close combat, not even the Dragon Race dares claim they can definitely defeat the Qilin Race.
But now, in the clash, Ji Chen has gained the upper hand, which was clearly beyond the expectations of everyone present.
"Such powerful Physical Power, even making a young king of the Qilin Race fall to the disadvantage!"
"What kind of physique does he have?" No one could hold back their surprise, all speculating about Ji Chen’s physique while discussing.
Gu Hao remained silent but squinted his eyes.
He possessed a Dao Body, one of the most powerful types of physiques in the long history of the Human Race.
Yet even so, when engaging in close combat with the Dragon Race or the Qilin Race, Gu Hao dared not claim he could definitely hold a significant advantage.
"All with a special physique bear a Law Phenomenon, each type’s Law Phenomenon is different, like Brother Gu’s Dao Body, the Law Phenomenon is said to be a ’Divine Tree,’ said to be the Tree of the Great Dao, making it identifiable."
Li Yiran spoke, fixating his gaze on Ji Chen in mid-air, continuing, "If we could witness him manifest his Law Phenomenon, we would likely understand what kind of physique he possesses."
