CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 598: FIRST, I WANT IT

"Boom!"

Ling Chen’s gaze turned icy; his Spiritual Power also burst forth explosively.

A powerful aura instantly spread out.

Feeling the aura emitting from Ling Chen, Lu Feng’s expression changed slightly.

Having watched the battle from a distance before, he had not sensed it very clearly.

But now, his senses were sharp and clear.

In terms of Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was not the least bit inferior to him!

"Good lad, indeed your Spiritual Power is strong! However, let’s see your true strength!" Lu Feng sneered.

With the sound of his voice, Lu Feng raised his longsword with his right hand, and torrents of Spiritual Power crazily surged into it, after which dozens of Blue Silver Sword Qi burst forth.

"Ice Thunder Sky Seal!"

Lu Feng muttered inwardly, the dozens of Blue Silver Sword Qi instantly split into countless fine Sword Qi which then rapidly converged into a gigantic Square Seal that emerged before everyone’s eyes.

"Mid-grade King Spirit Technique!"

Countless exclaimed in astonishment.

Lu Feng, from the get-go, utilized a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique; this showed how much he acknowledged Ling Chen’s strength, deeming him worthy to duel.

Gazing at the massive Square Seal pressing down like it could blot out the sky, Ling Chen dared not take it lightly.

From his right hand, the black longsword fired nine streaks of Green Lotus Sword Qi, which then split and swiftly coalesced into a green lotus.

This was precisely the second form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, Green Lotus Blossoms!

In the sky, the slowly revolving green lotus sped towards the core of the oncoming Square Seal.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided in an instant.

The very space trembled, then waves of force swept outwards in all directions.

Equal in Spiritual Power, equal in weaponry, and also equal in the level of King Spirit Technique.

Thus, the first exchange between the two ended in an equal clash.

Seeing that Ling Chen had withstood his attack, Lu Feng’s expression grew more serious.

He understood that without deploying the Holy Body Secret Technique, he would probably not be able to deal with Ling Chen.

"Ice Thunder Bundle!"

Lu Feng shouted within his heart, a wave of invisible force transmitted out and instantly targeted Ling Chen.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen immediately sensed his Spiritual Power being suppressed, visibly weakening at a visible rate, and culminating in a drop of a whole level of power.

Of course, this suppression was specific to the Spiritual Power flowing in his meridians.

The Spiritual Power in his Palace remained unchanged.

However, suppression of the meridian Spiritual Power essentially meant a reduction of Ling Chen’s Cultivation Level.

After all, any Spiritual Power called forth from the Palace would be suppressed!

"How is it, the taste of my Ice Thunder Bundle isn’t bad, right?"

Lu Feng grinned.

He possessed an Ice Thunder Saint Body.

The Holy Body Secret Technique is an art designed to weaken the opponent’s Spiritual Power.

Under his Ice Thunder Bundle, one’s Spiritual Power would drop a level for an hour.

"Now, I want to see how you withstand my attack?"

Lu Feng waved his longsword, once again using the Ice Thunder Sky Seal.

Though the power had not increased, the opponent’s Spiritual Power was under suppression.

In this give-and-take situation, he naturally held the advantage.

"Then watch carefully!" Ling Chen replied with a cold smile.

The Ice Thunder Bundle was aimed at the meridian Spiritual Power.

However, when deploying the second style of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, he relied on the Green Lotus Sword Qi from the Sword Qi River within his Dantian.

It wouldn’t be affected at all.

"Green Lotus Blossoms!"

Ling Chen invoked with his longsword, and once more a green lotus unfolded.

"Boom!"

The Square Seal and the Green Lotus collided once again.

However, contrary to Lu Feng’s expectations, his Square Seal did not gain any advantage.

The confrontation remained at a standstill.

"How can this be possible?" Lu Feng’s face showed utter disbelief.

His Ice Thunder Bundle, it had no effect on Ling Chen?

But he clearly sensed that Ling Chen’s aura of Spiritual Power had weakened by a level!

"How did he do that?"

The other two disciples in the late stages of the Palace Mansion Realm Fifth Layer were also full of astonishment.

They had sparred with Lu Feng, and this suppression of Spiritual Power was extremely uncomfortable for them.

Ling Chen wasn’t the slightest bit afraid?

This was beyond their imagination!

"Interesting! Not afraid of the Ice Thunder Bundle at all!"

Elder Xue also looked on with curiosity.

Ling Chen slightly smiled and said to Lu Feng, "Is this your Holy Body Secret Technique? It doesn’t seem very impressive, does it?"

"I don’t believe it!"

A mad frenzy filled Lu Feng’s eyes.

He could clearly sense that his secret technique had hit Ling Chen, even reducing his Spiritual Power by one level.

But the power of the King Spirit Technique, which relied on Spiritual Power, had not diminished at all.

He simply could not accept it!

"Ice Thunder Sky Seal!"

Lu Feng roared once again, casting the mid-grade King Spirit Technique for the third time.

"Refusing to see reason!"

Ling Chen sneered.

Next, he raised his longsword with his right hand, and a green lotus once again emerged.

This time, there was a faint trace of blood on the green lotus.

He had used a sliver of his bloodline power!

"Boom!"

The Square Seal and the Green Lotus collided for the third time.

But this time, unlike the previous encounters, the superior and inferior were distinguished immediately upon contact.

The green lotus, with irresistible force, pierced through the Square Seal, and then continued flying towards Lu Feng.

"What?!"

Many were shocked and pale.

Lu Feng had used his Holy Body Secret Technique, yet he was the one at a disadvantage?

This was extremely strange!

Up to now, no one knew what kind of Sacred Body Ling Chen had, nor did they know what his Holy Body Secret Technique was!

"Impossible!"

Lu Feng’s expression was as though he had seen a ghost.

How could Ling Chen’s attacks be so powerful?

He had clearly weakened Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power!

Watching the green lotus flying toward him, Lu Feng finally reacted, his body’s Spiritual Power roared out wildly, and his right hand’s longsword unleashed more than a dozen Sword Qi, slicing towards the green lotus.

"Boom boom boom..."

The green lotus easily destroyed each Sword Qi, and then continued to fly towards Lu Feng.

"Ding!"

Finally, the green lotus hit Lu Feng’s longsword, which he held in front of him, emitting a metallic clang.

The terrifying force erupted, and the longsword slammed hard into Lu Feng’s body.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Feng was sent flying backward, traveling hundreds of feet before he managed to stabilize his figure.

"Spurt!"

However, he had desperately mobilized his Spiritual Power, causing even more severe injuries inside his body, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion instantly turning pale.

"This..."

Watching this scene, almost everyone was so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Their gaze was firmly locked onto Ling Chen.

Even though Lu Feng was stronger, he could no longer block Ling Chen’s attacks!

Even though Lu Feng had used a Sacred Body Secret Technique that weakened the opponent’s Spiritual Power!

Even Elder Xue and the ten Stewards were dumbfounded.

They also couldn’t figure out how Ling Chen had dealt with the Ice Thunder Bundle.

"I’ll take the first place, any objections?"

Ling Chen looked at Lu Feng, his eyes flashing with an earth-shaking battle will.

The late stages of the Palace Mansion Realm Fifth Layer were nothing in front of him!

Why not seize that first place?

The reward for first place wasn’t just some Cultivation Resources, but also the chance to enter the Sect’s treasure vault and select a treasure!

Looking at Ling Chen, who was radiating sharpness, Lu Feng shook his head involuntarily.

At this moment, he was seriously injured, incapable of receiving Ling Chen’s attacks—how could he stop Ling Chen?
