"Who do you want to challenge?"

Lei Kai glanced at Sun Zheqi. Although he knew the answer, he still asked Jiang Chen as a formality.

"Senior Sun, being Elder Lu's disciple and valued by him enough to become a Core Disciple, must be exceptionally skilled. I would like to challenge Senior Sun Zheqi and see how Elder Lu's judgment stands. It'll also be a good comparison to measure the gap between myself and the top person in my realm!"

Jiang Chen smiled as he spoke.

Lei Kai was slightly startled. Those words sounded somewhat familiar.

"Isn't that what Bo Liancheng just said?"

"Seems like it, almost exactly the same!"

"This is immediate revenge!"

"This time, it will be Elder Lu who suffers!"

"If the person he values loses, and the Core Disciple identity of his own disciple gets surpassed, then Elder Lu will really be left empty-handed today!"

A group of students and instructors began discussing in hushed tones, all with a slight smile on their faces.

"Haha! Good! Youngster, Elder Lu teaches well. Don't underestimate that grandson of his; you must give it your all! Avoid any regrets from not trying your best!"

Loud laughter echoed from the high platform as Hu Yiqiu laughed brightly.

Retribution! Naked retribution!

The other elders glanced at Elder Lu with some sympathy, though their looks also carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Lu Buping trembled all over, not looking at Hu Yiqiu, but instead glaring intently at Jiang Chen, a flash of murderous intent quickly passing through his eyes!

Below the platform, Sun Zheqi turned pale. He had no confidence in receiving Jiang Chen's sword imbued with Dao Rhythm.

"Sun Zheqi, get on stage!"

Seeing Sun Zheqi not moving, Lei Kai shouted.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Zheqi leaped onto the stage with an iron-blue face.

Whoosh!

Exhaling the stuffiness in his chest, Sun Zheqi adopted a polite demeanor and cupped his fists towards Jiang Chen: "Junior Jiang, I have no problem with you challenging me, but you've only shown the power of Dao Rhythm. Shouldn't you also showcase other Great Dao powers for us to see?"

"If you can't withstand my junior's sword, just say so. What's with this 'show something else'? How many Great Daos can one comprehend? How many have you comprehended, Sun Zheqi? Asking my junior to switch to another Great Dao, what are you thinking?"

A mocking voice rang out, as Yun Tao spoke with a sneer.

"Yeah! Just now Jiang Chen already used the fused Great Dao of the Wood Path and Sword Dao. Why request him to display other Great Daos?"

"He's scared!"

"Who knew Sun Zheqi, usually so gentlemanly, can't stand losing!"

"Afraid yet still asking others to show different Great Daos, that's hypocritical!"

Mocking voices rang around the stage.

Sun Zheqi's face turned dark, with a glint of icy coldness flashing in his eyes.

"You're right, Dao Rhythm is precious, and you're not worthy of it."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

"You..."

Sun Zheqi's face sank completely, glaring coldly at Jiang Chen, a sense of humiliation welling up inside him.

"Alright! Let the battle begin!"

A shout was heard as Lei Kai flew down beneath the stage behind Sun Zheqi, seemingly poised to check Sun Zheqi's injuries.

Rumble!

As soon as Lei Kai finished speaking, an immense aura rose, with Sun Zheqi emanating a yellowish glow all over, surging with an overwhelming dominance.

Roar!

A terrifying roar resounded, as a massive, earth-yellow figure appeared behind Sun Zheqi, ferocious and terrifying.

"Is that... the Earth Bear?!"

"Sun Zheqi used to practice Soul Martial Art Technique too? His Martial Soul is the Earth Bear?!"

"That's one of the most powerful Martial Souls, with mastery in controlling strength!"

"If Jiang Chen, as he said, doesn't use Dao Rhythm, I'm afraid..."

"Clever strategy by Sun Zheqi, provoking Jiang Chen not to use Dao Rhythm, while he himself unleashes his Martial Soul!"

A group of students began to discuss.

"Jiang Chen, let's see how you beat me without Dao Rhythm. Didn't you say I'm unworthy? Then have the guts not to use it!"

Sun Zheqi shouted, extended his hand, and a long staff appeared in his hand, which he swung fiercely towards Jiang Chen.

Roar!

The Earth Bear roared, its figure flickering to appear in front of Sun Zheqi, emanating grand Great Dao pressure, dodging the staff and leaping forward, mirroring Sun Zheqi's movement, striking fiercely towards Jiang Chen.

"Another Divine Weapon!"

"Damn! How come there are so many Divine Weapons?"

"Without Dao Rhythm, Jiang Chen is in trouble!"

"But using Dao Rhythm would be a slap to his own face, putting him in a tight spot!"

The crowd exclaimed in shock, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes full of pity.

Originally, he could have effectively embarrassed Sun Zheqi and Elder Lu, but by boasting about not using Dao Rhythm, now he's stuck with it himself!

Still so young!

All the instructors shook their heads.

Gurgle!

Just as the crowd was losing hope for Jiang Chen, the sound of flowing water appeared, startling everyone.

Then, everyone looked at Jiang Chen, immediately dumbstruck.

Above Jiang Chen's head appeared a small river, emitting a strong, gentle aura, with streams flowing through it, exuding immense Great Dao pressure.

The new students at the edge of the stage and those in the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage involuntarily took a few steps back, their expressions filled with astonishment.

"The Way of Water? He even comprehended the Way of Water!?"

"Amazing! He comprehended three Great Daos!"

"Why is this Great Dao pressure so strong?!"

"Is he still human? How could he have such a profound understanding of the Way of Water? Could he have just broken through?"

The students were stunned, all those below the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage felt an unbeatable sensation from the pressure emitted by that river, and even those in the Mid Divine Infant Realm had serious expressions, with a glance at Jiang Chen filled with gravity.

Whoa!

The little river flowed forward, meeting the Earth Bear.

Bang bang bang!

The Earth Bear swung its staff wildly, scattering the river's water everywhere. But no matter how it struck, the river remained ever-present before it, blocking its advance!

Swoosh!

A cold light flickered on the stage as Jiang Chen once again drew out the Spiritual Longsword.

"Gentle Water Sword!"

An icy glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, as a stern Sword Intent erupted from him, reaching the heavens.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Above Jiang Chen, a giant stern sword appeared, radiating overwhelming Great Dao pressure.

Whoa!

As the giant sword emerged, the little river instantly reversed, directly merging with the giant sword, transforming the sword entirely into a shadow formed of gentle water flow.

"Fusion of Great Daos?!"

"Another Fusion of Great Daos? The Way of Water and Sword Dao fusion?!"

"Damn! Is he... is he still human?!"

"Two kinds of Fusion of Great Daos! He actually comprehended two kinds of Fusion of Great Daos!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the blue sword shadow made of flowing water with eyes full of disbelief.
