Chapter 130: The Championship Battle II

  Half a time period had already passed, Chen Xuan looked at himself and saw that he had beaten Ding Er to such an extent. His future cultivation would be difficult to make any progress. The strong ones on the high platform hadn't said anything, not even a warning. Originally, Chen Xuan was thinking that this time he had severely injured Ding Er, would these strong ones on the high platform punish him or not.

  But half a time had passed, and there was no movement above, Chen Xuan knew that this matter was likely to have become a foregone conclusion, and no one would come forward for Ding Ercai. So in the next jump on the stage to prepare for the seventh round of competition, after this round, only two rounds were left, and he took another step closer to the championship. Getting second place is not much different from getting last place, everyone will only remember the champion, no one will remember who got second place. Chen Xuan had already understood this logic very clearly in his previous life, so his goal was only one, the championship.

  Suddenly Chen Xuan's heroic spirit was stirred up.

  When Chen Xuan fell onto the arena, a beautiful figure also descended at the same time - Fei Yan. Chen Xuan knew that his opponent for this match was also someone he had expected to appear, because in this match, Chen Xuan saw Xiao Qiuyu and Qian Kun standing together on the same arena, which also meant that his opponent for this match was none other than Fei Yan.

  "Shi jie qing" Chen Xuan came up and made a gesture of asking for advice.

  "Junior brother is so polite, I know it's going to be tough for me to win this round, but I won't give up either. Since you called me 'senior sister', I have a few words to remind you too." Fei Yan said calmly to Chen Xuan.

  "Please speak, Shifu," Chen Xuan replied;

  "You ruined Ding Er's future in the last match, which won't do you any good in the future. You've also offended a lot of people recently, but your current strength is evident, and you're not afraid of their revenge. However, it's still best to prioritize harmony and avoid unnecessary grudges unless absolutely necessary. Did you know that Ding Er has an uncle who is one of our Danxuan Gate's Holy Sons? He's also very young, so be careful in the future. But teaching a piece of trash like Ling Feng a lesson wasn't bad either."

  "Thank you for reminding me, sister. I will remember your words," Chen Xuan said with his mouth; but what he thought in his heart was known only to himself.

  "I won't say any more unnecessary words, everyone has their own way of dealing with things, let's just settle this with one move. As long as you can break my Ice Frost Formation, I'll almost have no chance of winning." Fei Yan said, and then countless ice cones appeared, forming a huge formation that surrounded Chen Xuan at the center of the formation;

  Chen Xuan stood at the center of the arena, and suddenly everything in front of him changed. The scenery around him disappeared, and all he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness, as if he had arrived in an eternal icy landscape. The air around him dropped sharply, and when Chen Xuan looked around to see if he could find any clues, countless ice cones suddenly appeared in the sky, each one making a piercing sound as they flew towards him, trying to pierce through him.

  It turns out that this formation also has an attacking effect, not only can it control people, but it can also manipulate the formation to attack those trapped inside. Chen Xuan quickly gained an understanding of this Ice Formation, but he wasn't very proficient in formations himself. It seemed that finding a weakness in the formation to break through was no longer possible. His only option now was to forcibly break the formation, thoroughly destroying this large array and escaping from it.

  Whoosh, the evil charm was drawn out of its scabbard, and with a horizontal slash of his knife, Chen Xuan cut off all the incoming ice cones that were flying towards him. All the ice cones fell to the ground. At this moment, several more batches of ice cones flew in, with even more variations than before, splitting into three or four different trajectories, with ice cones coming at Chen Xuan from all directions - front, back, left and right. The speed was much faster than before, and there were many more changes, the ice cones constantly floating up and down without a fixed trajectory.

  Chen Xuan's evil charm changed, and he slashed out four knives in front of him, left and right. Chen Xuan's current eyesight had already seen the change in this move, and the four ice cones were intercepted, falling down one after another. However, when the ice cones fell, a strange change suddenly occurred, and two more ice cones suddenly attacked, within half a foot of Chen Xuan. This was the real killing intent, and the previous four ice cones should have only served to confuse him. The real killer move was in these last two ice cones.

  Chen Xuan was shocked, not expecting there to be a hidden trick. This flying swallow was not simple, about twice as strong as Ding Er. It seemed that he hadn't used his full strength when dealing with Ding Er either. However, wanting to hurt Chen Xuan wasn't enough. With a whooshing sound, Chen Xuan's figure disappeared from where he was standing, dodging the two ice cones' sneak attack. But these two ice cones were like they were alive, disappearing at the same moment Chen Xuan did, only to reappear within half a foot of him. The Phantom Nine Changes that Chen Xuan had deployed couldn't shake off the ice cones stabbing towards him.

  "Good martial arts, good kung fu, the control of his hands is also top-notch," Chen Xuan praised in the midst of the battle this ice pick pursuit. However, praise aside, the movements in his hand did not stop, slashing empty air, two knife auras shot out towards the two ice picks at an angle, Chen Xuan's figure disappeared once again, leaving behind two knife auras that suddenly erupted with power, becoming even more fierce and sharp, whooshing sounds filled the air as the two knife auras brought down the two ice picks.

  "If I didn't have the Nine Changes of Phantom Possession, it would be really hard to win against this Flying Swallow, unless I use Soft and Severing Slash or Flowing Sand Slash" Chen Xuan thought.

  The problem lies in the understanding of the formation, where he was completely suppressed, and his strength could not be fully exerted within the formation. At least 30% of his strength was being held back. If it wasn't for this suppression, Chen Xuan would have been able to break through the formation with just one slash.

  The flying swallow outside controlling the formation seemed to have no intention of giving Chen Xuan any chance to breathe, countless ice cones formed again, and the ice cone formed a huge iceberg, smashing towards Chen Xuan. A small mountain-sized iceberg appeared above Chen Xuan's head, whizzing down, and if it smashed down this time, Chen Xuan would probably be crushed into a meat pie.

  Spiral Slash, Chen Xuan's evil charm once again unleashed the Spiral Slash, dozens of spiral forces quickly formed a conical drill bit, drilling into the avalanche-like ice mountain that was pressing down on him.

  The spiral force flashed, and the iceberg was blocked, suspended in mid-air. Chen Xuan's spiral force continued to drill upwards, and a large hole had already appeared at the center of the iceberg, which was drilled out by Chen Xuan's spiral force. In just over a dozen breaths, the iceberg had been pierced halfway through by Chen Xuan's spiral force, and this iceberg was on the verge of collapse.

  The flying swallow standing outside the formation had a hint of emotion on its face, which remained unchanged for eternity. It was unclear whether it felt regretful that its own formation was still insufficient or because Chen Xuan's various changes were able to break through its formation. The flying swallow continued to manipulate the formation, and the places where Chen Xuan broke through were instantly restored to normal. The iceberg also grew twice as large as before, once again pressing down on Chen Xuan, who felt his breathing become heavier.

  His body felt a surge of pressure, as if he was about to break through. His physical body had always been stuck at the middle-grade spiritual artifact level and had never broken through to the high-grade spiritual artifact level. Chen Xuan had absorbed a lot of metal materials from refining artifacts, which were all stored in his body. He couldn't refine them now, even though he had passed the feedback from the Heavenly Furnace, his physical body was still unable to transform all the materials into something useful.

  If someone knew that Chen Xuan was absorbing the materials of the refining equipment to temper his body, they would definitely laugh and think he's crazy. The materials for refining equipment are impossible for humans to absorb, but Chen Xuan has a heaven-defying existence, the Devouring Sky Furnace, which can absorb it and then feed it back to him, allowing his body to constantly improve.

  Chen Xuan's body was crushed by the iceberg, and the metallic substances stored in his body quickly decomposed. The decomposed substances were all absorbed by Chen Xuan's flesh, and he saw with his inner vision that his cells were rapidly absorbing these energies.

  Every time he absorbed a portion, the cell's crawling speed would increase again. Not only did the cells absorb these energies, but Chen Xuan's skeleton also absorbed these scattered metal substances. Chen Xuan's skeleton began to shine brightly, increasing in intensity by several times. Even his five internal organs were absorbing, and Chen Xuan's body was changing rapidly. His body was growing taller bit by bit, and he grew a few centimeters taller than before. He looked even more upright and majestic, like a jade tree swaying in the wind.

  Ahh! Chen Xuan let out a loud roar, the ice mountain above him was shaken apart by this angry bellow, and it vanished without a trace.
