When the momentum completely disappeared, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Young Master!"

"Lord Xue!"

"Mr Jiang!"

Everyone greeted in unison.

"Mr. Jiang, thank goodness you arrived in time!" The Pope bowed to Jiang Chen with gratitude.

"Your Holiness the Pope, please don't say that. I should thank you. If it weren't for the uniqueness here, I might not have recovered so fast, let alone broken through the realm!" Jiang Chen stood up and returned a salute to the Pope.

"Hehe!"

Mi Jiaro approached Jiang Chen with ill intentions, winking mischievously and said, "Mr. Jiang, you have always been stronger than me, but now I'm stronger than you. You can't leave me out of any fight from now on!"

Jiang Chen looked up at Mi Jiaro and said with a light smile, "Mi Jiaro, a higher realm of power doesn't mean everything. If you rely solely on power to judge an enemy's strength, you'll suffer a big loss!"

Mi Jiaro was slightly taken aback, his eyes turning as he laughed softly, "Mr. Jiang, how about we have a spar? After breaking through to the Saint Realm, I feel like I've been elevated and my combat power has multiplied. I want to test myself against you."

"Do you feel every battle I've placed you in a relatively safe position and your self-esteem has been damaged, leading you to want to prove yourself?" Jiang Chen immediately saw through Mi Jiaro's thoughts.

Mi Jiaro gave a sheepish smile, looking at Jiang Chen with anticipation.

Due to Mi Jiaro's special status, Jiang Chen always offered him special care whenever they fought together, which Mi Jiaro could feel. He respected Jiang Chen and was willing to follow his arrangements, but there was a part of him that felt uneasy. This unease wasn't dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen, but rather a simple feeling of being underestimated.

Before, he indeed wasn't as good as Jiang Chen and had no reason to complain. This time breaking through to the Saint Realm gave him ample confidence to prove himself!

"Alright, you rascal got inflated after breaking through! I'll let you understand that a realm really doesn't mean much; only complete control over your power is a martial artist's greatest asset!" Jiang Chen nodded with a light smile.

He also wanted to test his current strength.

After being tempered by the Eight Yata Mirror and breaking through another realm, Jiang Chen felt his power had changed.

At this moment, the spiritual power in Jiang Chen's body was no longer concentrated in the Dantian. Only the Second Soul resided in the Dantian, with spiritual power spread throughout his limbs. This change mystified Jiang Chen somewhat, but since Mi Jiaro wanted to spar, Jiang Chen could use this opportunity to observe the changes in his strength.

"Alright!" Mi Jiaro excitedly nodded.

Whoosh!

Buzz!

Leaping into the air above the forest, Mi Jiaro exuded a divine aura, his imposing presence soaring, looking at Jiang Chen below with a serious expression.

Even though his realm was higher than Jiang Chen's, Mi Jiaro didn't underestimate him because of it.

Mi Jiaro had witnessed Jiang Chen's combat prowess, where overcoming challengers had become routine. Mi Jiaro didn't expect to defeat Jiang Chen; he just wanted to prove himself. His greater hope was to experience the life-and-death battles like Yan Hu and others, standing alongside Jiang Chen in mutual aid, instead of remaining a privileged canary in safety!

Jiang Chen glanced at Mi Jiaro in the air, testing the operation of his spiritual power.

Buzz!

A vast momentum surged skyward, ancient and transcendent emanations pouring from Jiang Chen.

"This..."

You Xuan's eyes lit up wide, a zealous look reflecting in them!

This aura... isn't this...

You Xuan's eyes flashed with ecstasy, their gaze on Jiang Chen turning heated!

The Pope and others watched Jiang Chen with surprise.

The aura emanating from Jiang Chen induced a sense of oppression amongst them, not from strength but from an existential level, as if Jiang Chen had surpassed their life forms!

"Mr. Jiang, this..." Fa Rang furrowed his brow, looking at the Pope with some confusion.

The Pope's eyes showed a hint of shock, which soon turned into ecstasy, whispering softly, "It's successful! Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang achieved it without breaking through to the Saint Realm... Dragon Saint was right! He was right!"

Whoosh!

Amidst the shock of everyone, Jiang Chen soared into the air, a trace of excitement in his eyes.

The intensity of spiritual power within him felt surreal!

Too strong!

Jiang Chen now felt an absurd notion, as if he could battle against the likes of the Dragon Saint!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Waves of powerful aura pressed upon him, bringing Jiang Chen back to his senses; he looked ahead.

Mi Jiaro looked at Jiang Chen solemnly, saying in a deep voice, "Mr. Jiang, let's settle it with one move. I know your combat strength is formidable; I'll elevate my aura to its pinnacle and gradually unleash my secret technique. If you find it unbearable, please notify me promptly!"

"Come on!"

Jiang Chen nodded with a light smile.

Rustling!

Mi Jiaro's entire body shook, streams of holy light surging from within, a sacred crown appearing over his head.

"Light..."

Mi Jiaro called out, raising his hands.

Rustle!

All the Holy Light converged over Mi Jiaro's head, forming a spear imbued with divine aura.

Sizzle!

The crown emitted a brilliant beam onto the spear.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The momentum contained within the holy spear surged instantly!

"Is the Saint Heir fully exerting himself?" You Xuan lightly chuckled, looking at Mi Jiaro in the air.

Wu Qianxun sighed, "Such powerful attack power, I wouldn't dare intercept this move!"

"I also sense danger; I'm afraid this strike would overwhelm even a mid-Saint Realm martial artist!" Fa Rang's eyes showed a hint of gratification.

The Pope nodded slightly, with a faint smile, "This is Mi Jiaro's respect for Mr Jiang!"

"I wonder if Mr. Jiang will take it," Xi'er looked up at Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, do you need to stop?" Mi Jiaro softly inquired.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Show your true full strength. As the Saint Heir of the Holy Court, if your fully-charged attack is really only at this level, you'll disgrace the Holy Court!"

"Alright! Mr. Jiang, be careful!"

Mi Jiaro understood that his current assault posed no real threat to Jiang Chen, he sternly shouted, "Judgment!"

Buzz!

Swish!

The holy light around Mi Jiaro surged dramatically, the spear above his head enlarging abruptly.
