312: Chapter 312 Battle Wang's Divine Power

"I think you are absolutely right. Strength decides everything. Do you think you are invincible in this world just because you have reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage? Or do you think that I, this special envoy, am simply not qualified?"

Xiao Yuchen's tone was cold. He needed to let Sect Master Wang Shentong know that there is always someone better out there.

"I have no right to question the decisions of the Heavenly Court, but since the Heavenly Court's rule is to only accept experts of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, it should not be changed for anyone or anything."

"You saved the Xuantian Continent and ruined the plans of the Demon Race, so the Heavenly Court indeed should reward you. They can make an exception to let you join the Heavenly Court, but you are not qualified to receive a token."

"There are nearly four hundred people in the Heavenly Court, but only about twenty have tokens. These twenty-odd people are at least at the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and each has illustrious military achievements and made great contributions to the Heavenly Court. You do not have this qualification."

Sect Master Wang Shentong had a straightforward personality and would speak out publicly about any dissatisfaction. He didn't care about others' identities; he only cared about whether they were qualified.

"I understand what you mean. It's nothing more than me being too young, and you not wanting to take my orders. But I am a very reasonable person. Since you say strength decides everything, how about we have a battle?"

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Sect Master Wang Shentong thought he was hallucinating. He only confirmed he hadn't misheard after asking Luo Nantian.

"You want to duel me? You killed a Demon General of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage with your strength at the Mahayana Stage. I admit you are indeed a Prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years, but I can slap several experts of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage to death with one hand, let alone someone who is only at the Mahayana Stage." Sect Master Wang Shentong's eyes were full of disdain.

"Which of your eyes saw that I am at the Early Mahayana Stage? I am currently at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

As he spoke, the Aura around Xiao Yuchen surged. Because he possessed Chaos Qi inside his body, his power was much stronger than an ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator.

"This... how is this possible? Only two months have passed since the Five Provinces Grand Competition. How could you possibly go from the Early Mahayana Stage to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?" Sect Master Wang Shentong was shocked by the Aura around Xiao Yuchen.

"It takes you thousands of years to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. Do you think everyone else needs thousands of years too? Making a Breakthrough is as simple as eating and drinking for me."

"Alright, enough nonsense. Didn't you say you could slap several Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators to death with one hand? I want to see how you are going to slap me to death."

Xiao Yuchen didn't want to waste words either. He took the lead to enter the courtyard and then directly underwent Dragonification. Except for his head, his entire body was covered in scales, giving off an indestructible feeling.

"This... are you a human or a Yao Beast?"

Seeing Xiao Yuchen floating in the air, Sect Master Wang Shentong was also extremely shocked. The others quickly walked out of the hall as well. A battle involving the combat power of two Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators was extremely rare to see.

"So much nonsense. Take a punch from me!"

Xiao Yuchen teleported in front of Sect Master Wang Shentong and punched out.

Although Xiao Yuchen's speed was incredibly fast, Sect Master Wang Shentong was, after all, at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage and had experienced countless battles in his life. Just as Xiao Yuchen's punch was about to land on him, Sect Master Wang Shentong also struck out with a palm, colliding with Xiao Yuchen's fist.

Bang!

Fist and palm clashed with a terrifying momentum. Xiao Yuchen took two steps back, while Sect Master Wang Shentong retreated six steps.

"How is this possible? How can your strength be so formidable?"

Sect Master Wang Shentong was shocked. Although his palm strike just now had been somewhat rushed, with only eighty percent of his power, it was enough to slap a Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator to death. Yet Xiao Yuchen was only at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and not only was he completely fine after taking the hit, but he even had the upper hand.

"Nothing is impossible. As expected of the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage, you are indeed much stronger than those at the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage. But that's all. It just means it will take a few more Moves."

In fact, the reason Xiao Yuchen was able to take this palm strike so easily was not only because he absorbed the opponent's power, but also because he used the Law of Space to redirect most of the force.

Although Sect Master Wang Shentong had reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence Stage, his mastery of the Law of Space was still inferior to his own, which was inevitable.

"I don't believe it, let's go again."

Sect Master Wang Shentong was also getting worked up. He felt that the reason he was at a disadvantage just now was mainly because of his insufficient preparation and not using his full strength. Furthermore, he had underestimated Xiao Yuchen too much. This time, he was going to go all out.

Xiao Yuchen naturally wouldn't refuse and clashed with Sect Master Wang Shentong once again. The battle between the two was extremely intense. Neither side used any fancy Moves, engaging instead in a pure clash of fists and kicks.

Although the two of them fought high up in the sky, the aftershocks of the battle still reached the ground. Zhao Zicheng and the others below worked together to construct a Spiritual Qi protective shield, enveloping everyone inside to barely withstand the impact.

In just a few minutes, the two had fought for a hundred rounds. They were fighting with a style of trading injury for injury. However, what left Sect Master Wang Shentong speechless was that he was indeed injured, whereas he couldn't break through Xiao Yuchen's defense at all.

The most frustrating part was that not only was Xiao Yuchen uninjured, but the Aura around his body was actually rising step by step, far exceeding the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and infinitely approaching the Mid Tribulation Transcending Stage.

"How about it? Do you want to continue?" Xiao Yuchen said calmly.

"I... I think this is enough. I misunderstood you. You indeed have the qualifications to become a special envoy of the Heavenly Court. Besides, this place is not suitable for fighting. We can spar again when there's an opportunity in the future."

Sect Master Wang Shentong really didn't dare to continue fighting. Just now, they were trading punch for punch, so others couldn't tell who had the upper hand, but he knew exactly what was going on.

If he stopped now, he could still save some face. If they continued to fight, he would undoubtedly lose.

"I think so too. This is indeed not a place for fighting. Sun Zhicheng led the members of the Sun Family to cause trouble at the Xiao Family, and I have already disposed of him. Did I go a bit too far with this?" Xiao Yuchen asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Sect Master Wang Shentong's mouth twitched slightly. He had no idea that Sun Zhicheng was already dead; otherwise, he wouldn't have sided with the Sun Family.

"No, as I said just now, I don't care about conflicts between families. Strength decides everything. Since the Sun Family lacked strength, they deserved to be killed. However, if the Heavenly Court inquires about this matter, how should I respond?"

"Just tell the truth. The Sun Family should still have one more cultivator of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. I originally wanted to go and eliminate them, but on second thought, there's no need. However, the Xiao Family doesn't like trouble, so you still need to coordinate the matters regarding the Sun Family."

"Of course, that's no problem. The Sun Family's actions were entirely self-inflicted. I will head to the Sun Family right away and drive them out of Leshan City. From now on, the Xiao Family will be a first-class Family in Leshan City."

The reason Sect Master Wang Shentong compromised was, first, because he had witnessed Xiao Yuchen's strength, and second, because he didn't expect Xiao Yuchen to bring so many Tribulation Transcendence Stage and Mahayana Stage experts with him. This level of power was already not inferior to the Divine Sword Sect.

"That would be for the best. If the Sun Family comes to trouble the Xiao Family again, I really don't know what I might do. Having you come here is actually in the hope that Sect Master Wang can look after the Xiao Family a bit in the future. Of course, this is not an order, just a personal request."

"No problem, no problem. The Xiao Family has done a great service to the Xuantian Continent, so my Divine Sword Sect should naturally look after you. In the future, if other big families trouble the Xiao Family, my Divine Sword Sect will be the first to object."
