Whiz.

In a flash, Cheng Long, standing nearly two meters tall, leaped onto the Zodiac Battle Platform like a fierce beast. A terrifying killing intent surged from his entire body, making others involuntarily shiver.

He originally thought that after displaying his Half-Step Gang Qi Realm cultivation, Ye Chen would be so scared that he'd lose control and admit defeat.

Yet, unexpectedly, not only did the other party show no fear, he even told him to roll over and die.

It was the first time he had ever heard someone speak such arrogant words to him.

So, in his eyes, Ye Chen was already no different from a dead man.

"Ye Chen, trash like you will never understand how vast the gap between us is. Today, I'll let you taste the flavor of despair." As Cheng Long stepped onto the battle platform, a violent True Qi surged out from his body, enveloping an area two meters around him.

Moreover, this True Qi was mixed with a terrifying Gang Qi, which was much stronger than pure True Qi.

The combination of the two could at least unleash the power of fifty tigers.

It's worth noting that even Qi Dao Masters who have just stepped into the Gang Qi Realm generally only possess Gang Qi equivalent to the power of fifty tigers.

Cheng Long was already comparable to them.

Additionally, the yellow level first-grade bloodline he awakened greatly enhanced his combat power.

Therefore, ordinary Tier One Qi Dao Masters in the Gang Qi Realm were simply not his match.

In other words, he already had the ability to defeat Qi Dao Masters across levels.

Such a person was rare even in the entire Celestial Flame Dynasty.

"To kill trash like you, using True Qi is enough, but just killing you like this is too cheap. I must make you die in despair and pain." Cheng Long's facial features twisted slightly, looking extremely ferocious. With a flicker of his figure, he charged at Ye Chen like an ancient fierce beast.

Rumble.

Due to his extreme speed, coupled with the rampaging violent True Qi around him,

wherever he passed, the air emitted sharp, explosive sounds, creating waves of dazzling white air currents, a terrifying scene.

Whiz.

In a flash, Cheng Long's towering body was several meters away from Ye Chen. His muscles swelled up like coiled dragons, filled with terrifying explosive power, and he swung his fist at Ye Chen's neck.

He did this mainly to completely destroy Ye Chen's vocal cords, preventing him from admitting defeat.

"It's over; Ye Chen is dead this time."

"If he had surrendered earlier, he might have saved his life, but now, it's too late." The new students watching all shook their heads, but few sympathized with Ye Chen.

In their eyes, Ye Chen was simply asking for it.

He knew that Cheng Long had reached the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm, capable of unleashing the power of fifty tigers with a mere gesture, posing a lethal threat to him.

Yet, Ye Chen not only did not immediately surrender but dared to provoke Cheng Long.

This was simply courting death.

After defeating Lv Bai, Ye Chen's confidence had swelled entirely, thinking he could measure up to Cheng Long.

Unfortunately, with his meager strength, he was nothing but a joke in front of Cheng Long.

Such a person, lacking even a shred of self-awareness, truly deserved their fate.

With a loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Long's massive fist, as large as a clay pot, reached Ye Chen, even causing the surrounding air to burst explosively.

The power contained in this punch had completely surpassed the power of fifty tigers, extraordinarily terrifying.

After all, Cheng Long's True Qi alone contained the power of fifty tigers, and at this moment, he also executed a perfected Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts, further boosting his combat power.

Therefore, even if Ye Chen used the "Five Elements Sword Technique," it would be difficult to withstand this strike.

"Do you think this level of power can kill me? You're overestimating yourself." Just as Cheng Long's fist was about to hit Ye Chen's neck, the corner of Ye Chen's mouth curled into a cold smile.

Rumble.

The next moment, a surge of extremely potent True Qi erupted from the depths of Ye Chen's Dantian, instantly wrapping around his fist and meeting Cheng Long's punch.

Although this True Qi wasn't as strong as Cheng Long's, it was not far behind.

"What? That trash can unleash True Qi equivalent to thirty-five Seas of Qi, how is this possible?" Cheng Long's pupils suddenly contracted, a look of disbelief on his face.

However, even though he was utterly shocked in his heart, his fist didn't stop in the slightest, continuing to strike Ye Chen with force.

He couldn't understand why Ye Chen could unleash True Qi equivalent to thirty-five Seas of Qi.

However, his True Qi is slightly more robust than Ye Chen's, and a portion of it has already transformed into Gang Qi.

Therefore, he can easily crush Ye Chen.

A deafening explosion resounded.

The next moment, Ye Chen's fist collided fiercely with Cheng Long's, producing thunderous reverberations that made everyone's eardrums ache.

Centered on Ye Chen and Cheng Long, a terrifying gust suddenly rose within a hundred feet radius, even causing the air to ripple with snow-white blasts, painting an astonishing scene.

"What? My attack was actually blocked by him. How is this possible?" At this moment, Cheng Long's body trembled suddenly, his eyes widened round, filled with disbelief.

Bear in mind, the punch he just unleashed certainly contained power exceeding the Power of Fifty Tigers.

But Ye Chen, even though he unleashed True Qi from thirty-five Qi Seas, could only possess at most Power of Thirty-Five Tigers.

Logically, Ye Chen should have been easily blown away, and even if he survived, he should have suffered significant trauma.

Yet now, not only was Ye Chen not blown away, but he stood there without moving, as stable as an Ancient Divine Mountain.

How could Cheng Long possibly believe this?

"Innate Divine Power, could it be that this worthless fellow possesses Innate Divine Power just like me?" Cheng Long's face turned extremely grim as he speculated inwardly.

From the moment he was born, his physique was different from ordinary people, and his strength far surpassed average.

At the age of ten, his Physical Power had already reached the astounding Power of Five Tigers, tens of times stronger than his peers.

And as he grew older, his strength kept increasing, especially now, with Power of Fifteen Tigers, far more terrifying than many Tier One Demon Beasts.

Because of this, he was universally believed to possess Innate Divine Power.

Earlier, to avoid accidentally killing Ye Chen with a punch, he had carefully controlled his internal strength, maintaining it at an ordinary level.

Otherwise, the punch he just threw would have had a power not merely limited to Power of Fifty Tigers but reaching sixty or seventy Tiger Powers, which even a Qi Dao Master of the Gang Qi Realm First Layer would struggle to withstand.

However, unexpectedly, Ye Chen actually blocked this punch.

This has completely overturned his imagination.

The first thought that surged in his mind was that Ye Chen also possessed Innate Divine Power alongside him.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly block Cheng Long's hit without a scratch.

"Heavens! Am I dreaming? Ye Chen actually blocked Cheng Long's attack."

"How can his True Qi be so robust, almost catching up with Cheng Long, who is half-step Celestial Spirits. Could it be that his cultivation is far higher than we imagined?" At this moment, the watching newcomers gasped in shock and froze as if struck by Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Anyone with keen eyes could sense Ye Chen's True Qi just now wasn't much weaker than Cheng Long's.

But isn't Ye Chen's cultivation only True Qi Realm Fifth Layer? How could he unleash such terrifying True Qi?

Could he have been hiding his strength all along?

Even though Ye Chen's True Qi was nearly comparable to Cheng Long's, Cheng Long's True Qi was mixed with a formidable Gang Qi, far deadlier than Ye Chen's.

How exactly did Ye Chen block Cheng Long's attack unscathed?

This scene is like a fantasy.

"Innate Divine Power, who would've thought this Ye Chen possesses Innate Divine Power, it seems his physique is far stronger than we imagined." In the resplendent hall, Celestial Flame Peak Master remarked with astonishment.

His cultivation has entered the Celestial Spirit Realm, his insights unnaturally sharp, instantly recognizing part of Ye Chen's power came from his physical body.

Only those with Innate Divine Power can unleash such formidable Physical Power.

Clearly, Ye Chen is one such individual.

"Thirty-five Qi Seas of True Qi? So his cultivation has reached True Qi Realm Seventh Layer! But hasn't he failed to awaken bloodlines? How could his cultivation speed be so rapid?" Soul Palace Master Chen Fei's deep eyes sparkled intensely, fixated on Ye Chen, seemingly wanting to discern all his secrets.

In his opinion, even if Ye Chen's Dantian mutation caused a growth in Qi Seas far faster than ordinary cultivators.

It still shouldn't have been this fast.

Has he possibly encountered some unknown stroke of fortune?

"Haha! Duanmu Zhong, you must be thrilled now, this Ye Chen's physical body is far stronger than we anticipated, very suitable for training with your War King Hall's Body Refining Technique, and even his cultivation speed is faster than we predicted. He should be a rather promising sapling for you." Duanmu Ying's beautiful eyes fell on Duanmu Zhong, smiling faintly.

Yet in the depths of her eyes, a barely perceptible mockery flashed.

Though Ye Chen's display of combat left her somewhat surprised, she still hadn't taken Ye Chen seriously.

She always believed a person who couldn't awaken bloodlines had no future, regardless of their other talents.

If War King Hall genuinely sees Ye Chen as a treasure worth cultivating, let them have their way, Duanmu Ying could care less.
