C147 Eight desolations platform
"With my current strength, I can only refine a third grade Spirit Pill, but you also know soul techniques and your soul force is very strong. If you work hard, there will be a day where you'll also get a good result." Bai Yuhan said. As a genius, a prideful daughter of heaven, she was not proud at all.
Chu Chen only understood it now. If he wanted to truly experience it, he would need to refine it himself.
"Oh yeah, what did you say you wanted me for?" he asked.
"Tomorrow is the day of your duel with Sima Lingkong. You … Are you ready? " Bai Yuhan asked tentatively.
"Hehe, so this is what you're doing. Duel, always preparing." Chu Chen said casually.
Bai Yuhan frowned slightly. Indeed, looking at Chu Chen's expression, he did not seem to be worried. Instead, he looked indifferent.
Sima Lingkong had three levels of Bloody Martial Stage, and in these three months, he had been diligently training in the academy in his zither arts. On the other hand, Chu Chen had heard that although he had broken through to the Bloody Martial Stage, the disparity still existed.
Not knowing why, but looking at Chu Chen's expression, Bai Yuhan did not believe it at all. However, it suddenly became faint, especially that pair of eyes.
"Oh right, I was on Qingcheng that day, interacting with you about soul arts. Why didn't you come and find me when you joined the Meteor Falling Star?" Bai Yuhan laughed, with a guilty intent.
"This …" Chu Chen rubbed his nose. He seemed to remember that Bai Yuhan seemed to have invited him before, and truthfully said, "I am a person that incites hatred from others, I will always offend others wherever I go. After entering the Academy till now, in order to avoid being killed, I have been training all the time.
Sima Lingkong chased after Bai Yuhan, but Bai Yuhan wasn't interested in her, so her cultivation was high. That was why she didn't do anything to him.
"You sure are confident. There's no need to apologize, as long as you can defeat Sima Lingkong, I think the entire academy will boil over."
"Even if you didn't say it, I would have already defeated him."
Chu Chen and Bai Yuhan parted ways. After they returned to their residence, the entire Outer Academy was stirred. Bai Yuhan and Chu Chen were acquainted with each other, and had come to find him.
Originally, it was nothing, but at this critical moment of tomorrow's showdown with Sima Lingkong, it was hard to imagine even if one did not want to.
"Boss, I've only met you last time on Qingcheng Island. How did you hook up with Bai Yuhan so quickly?" Fang Qu walked over and asked sneakily.
"What do you mean hook up? Let's see how you speak." Pang Shan's expression turned serious, he immediately laughed and asked: "Chu Chen, what method did you use, to actually soak Bai Yuhan in the water?"
"…" Chu Chen was speechless, he immediately kicked one.
This matter, many people treated it as a joke, and some were even jealous. But when it reached Sima Lingkong's ears, it was no small matter.
"Pa!"
He was playing the zither, and his emotions were building up. When he heard this, the strings of the zither instantly broke. A fierce fire burned in his heart, and the nearby disciples were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
"Sima Lingkong, you are a inner court disciple after all, and are ranked on the Heaven and Earth List as well.
Sima Lingkong was fuming, even the people beside him did not dare say a word, but suddenly, a voice sounded out, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Silence.
Sima Lingkong's entire body released a cold Qi, the surrounding temperature, seemed to drop by a few degrees, a wave of cold Qi swept out.
"Sandu, what do you mean?" Upon seeing the person, Sima Lingkong's eyes became serious, and he spoke coldly.
If Chu Chen was present, he would definitely recognize this Sang Du. It was that very day when a new student joined the Meteorite Academy that made a mockery out of him.
Sang Du was ranked thirty-fifth, while Sima Lingkong was ranked thirty-ninth. If it was anyone else, Sima Lingkong would have immediately killed him just now, but Sang Du was not simple.
"I don't mean anything. I just wanted to say that we don't care about the matter between you and Bai Yuhan, but tomorrow, you will represent not only yourself, but also your inner court. Don't lose to that brat." Sang Du said in a strange tone.
"Defeat? Would I, Sima Lingkong, lose to an outer disciple? This is an impossible task. Even if I were to use only one hand, I would still be able to defeat him. " He had heard of Chu Chen breaking through to the Spiritual Martial Stage, but even if he had, he was only at the first level of the Spiritual Martial Stage, so how could he compare to him at the third level. Besides that, in order to be safe, he had also cultivated his zither arts for a while and made a breakthrough.
However, Sima Lingkong felt that there was no need for him to do this, there was no need to be on guard at all. Victory was inevitable, Chu Chen, who did he think he was, he came from a small empire, and he was only an outer court disciple right now.1
"Tomorrow, I'll go and cheer you on too. Sima Lingkong, don't let us down." Sang Du said in a strange tone. Then, he sneered as he brought his men and left.
"You can do it, if you want to see my strength in the zither, that's the real deal. But you really don't have the chance to see it, defeating Chu Chen, I do not use my trump card." Sima Lingkong looked at Sang Du's back, and said while sneering.
The next day, many people from the outer court ran in one direction.
That was the place where disciples fought. It was called the Octoterra Platform, and it was a huge stone stage that was dozens of feet wide.
At this moment, the surrounding area of the Octoterra Platform was already filled with disciples, some from the outer courtyard, some from the inner court, and some even elders.
"Look, Sima Lingkong is here!" Following a loud shout, the crowd immediately turned their gazes over.
Sure enough, Sima Lingkong had come. He was tall and straight, with a very handsome appearance, his body giving off an otherworldly aura as he trained in the zither, causing many of the female disciples to be secretly moved, secretly sending off Qiubo.
Feeling the gazes of admiration from all around, Sima Lingkong was in a good mood. In a moment on the Octoterra Arena, he would defeat Chu Chen ruthlessly.
"As expected of Sima Lingkong, your temperament is outstanding, your cultivation is strong, if you want to defeat Chu Chen, it's too simple, this competition is without suspense."
"Yeah, look, Sima Lingkong is already here, but he hasn't arrived yet. He should be scared to the point of wetting his pants." The crowd immediately burst into laughter.
They were all disciples of inner court and stood on Sima Lingkong's side. There were even many outer court disciples who supported him as well.
inner court disciple, Heaven and Earth List rank 39. If it was fawning on him, there would only be benefits and no harm.
Especially those female disciples, their thoughts were even more complicated. If they were chosen by this person, in the academy, they were all dual cultivators in the martial way. Just by relying on Sima Lingkong, they would definitely get more resources.
However, they also knew that the chances of him chasing Bai Yuhan were slim.
"Sima Lingkong, bring honor to our inner court by winning over three moves against that brat."
"Three moves. You think too highly of your opponent. One move is enough." The inner court disciples shouted one after another.
In their eyes, the outer court disciples were not worth mentioning. Even the seniors who had reached the second level of Spiritual Martial Stage were extremely few in number, and could not even compare to inner court.
He had a sense of superiority in his heart, and even forgot that he himself had walked over from the outer court.
"Bastard, this is too hateful. Is inner court impressive?" Many of the outer court disciples said angrily after hearing this, but this was only a small part of it.
No matter where in the Profound Abyss Continent, the strong were respected. It was the same in Starfall. Even if the disciples of inner court insulted the outer court, they were strong. On the contrary, they admired and did not dare to resist.
Time slowly passed by. Sima Lingkong stood on the Octoterra Arena, showing off his strength, as if he had not fought yet. At this moment, he was already the victor, enjoying the glory of being the victor.
