Chapter 661 - 358: How Many of My Punches Can You Take

Xiao Linfeng came from the Long River Family. His Talent made up for his lack of foundational depth, allowing him to widen the gap between them.

"As for the last person..." Shen Yi’an’s gaze swept over the screen, and his expression suddenly changed. "How could it be Su Chen!?"

On that last screen was none other than Su Chen. Every movement of his was accompanied by crimson flames and lightning. His performance was even better than Shen Yi’an’s own—at the very least, he didn’t look too disheveled.

"It’s been almost ten minutes. How is he still..." Shen Yi’an’s heart trembled. He understood Su Chen’s situation very well. The fact that he could defeat a Tier Seven as a Tier Six relied entirely on the explosive power of his Holy Profession. But that could only last for a few strikes. It absolutely couldn’t sustain him until now, unless...

"Tier Seven. He has advanced to Tier Seven." A somewhat familiar voice came from beside him. It was Wei Zhenghong. He had come out a bit earlier than Shen Yi’an and was also looking up, his expression quite spectacular.

Shen Yi’an’s expression was complex. This promotion speed was simply too fast, making it hard to comprehend.

* * *

"Su Chen’s advancement speed is incredibly fast," Zhou Lingtian said, his eyes flickering. Everyone could see that for him to last this long, his performance proved he couldn’t possibly be just a Tier Six.

"Tier Seven..." Wu Yue’s expression was gloomy. "Are Twin Divine Dawns really this fast? Even Xiao Linfeng didn’t advance this quickly."

"Could it be that this person will advance to Morning Star before the age of a hundred and stand as our equal?" Zhou Lingtian murmured in a low voice.

Hearing this, even Chu Lingyuan’s expression couldn’t help but shift. Judging by this speed, it wasn’t impossible. Unlike the Moonlight Tier, no matter how incredible Su Chen was, as long as the Bronze Ancient King didn’t die, he could only ever be a Morning Star. But to them, Su Chen was already a Star Seed. In the future, he would inevitably become a Morning Star and stand on equal footing with them.

"No wonder you protected him so fiercely just now, Brother Chu. You were preparing to give us a surprise." Wu Yue’s words carried a hint of gritted teeth, and Chu Lingyuan’s expression twitched slightly. He hadn’t known that Su Chen had already advanced to Tier Seven either; he just hadn’t wanted others to probe into him earlier. But hearing this, he didn’t say much in response.

* * *

"Tier Seven..." The Hanhai Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his armrest. "Even Twin Divine Dawns shouldn’t have this kind of speed. How old is he this year? Is he twenty-five?"

"Twenty-three or twenty-four. Not yet twenty-five," the Profound Celestial Ancient King shook his head.

"He’s advanced to Tier Seven... This speed is even faster than I imagined." Even though the Bronze Ancient King had seen Su Chen purify the mid-level Fog Ashes with his own eyes, he was still somewhat amazed.

The Holy Cauldron Ancient King sighed emotionally, "He might be a dark horse. I originally thought he wouldn’t become the Star Head until the next term, but it seems he has a very high chance this term."

Tier Seven... Qin Yun stared at Su Chen on the virtual screen. For a moment, that face seemed to morph into Qin Tianlin’s.

"Qin Yun," someone suddenly called out.

Qin Yun focused her attention and realized it was the Hanhai Emperor. "Has the Spiritual entity reacted at all?"

"No." Qin Yun shook her head again.

The Hanhai Emperor furrowed his brow. "Is a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old Tier Seven not enough to elicit a reaction from the Spiritual entity? Will there really be no recognized individual born this time?"

No one could answer his question.

Right at this moment, another virtual screen shattered. The crowd looked over to see it was Luo Yao.

The Star Dome Ancient King shook his head. "In the end, he’s still lacking a bit."

Before long, Luo Yao walked out of the tower. He looked up, his expression freezing slightly. There were actually still four people left. His eyelids twitched. "Su Chen is actually still in there... fighting bare-handed??"

* * *

"Even if he is Tier Seven... how could he be stronger than me? And... he’s not even using a weapon," Sheng Huaixu muttered, his face deathly pale as he looked up at the three remaining virtual screens in the sky.

Han Xingliu being stronger than him was within expectations. The fact that Xiao Linfeng was still holding on had already surprised him; after all, they were around the same age with Twin Divine Dawns, and the Long River Family was no slouch either. But what was the deal with that last guy, Su Chen?

Sheng Huaixu wasn’t just a Tier Seven himself; his profession’s development progress was more than halfway complete. Not only did he possess a Holy Profession, but he also had other professions coordinating with it. Even if Su Chen had already undergone a Melting Holy Profession at Tier Six, after advancing to Tier Seven, a Holy Profession was still just a Holy Profession. How could he possibly be stronger than him?

"Could it be that Old Su is going to claim the position of Star Head this term? And the next term, and the term after that... He’s going to serve three consecutive terms!" Wei Zhenghong’s voice was booming, intentionally spoken very loudly.

The vast majority of the people present hadn’t even lasted a minute or two. Hearing this, they merely revealed expressions of lingering fear. Having fought the King’s Shadow themselves, they naturally knew how terrifying it was.

However, the expressions of those who had undergone a Melting Holy Profession weren’t so pretty. After all, Su Chen was simply too young. In scholarship, there is no undisputed first; in combat, there is no second place. There is only the absolute strongest. Being pinned beneath someone so young would inevitably make them feel uncomfortable. For a moment, they actually hoped that Han Xingliu and Xiao Linfeng would last a bit longer.

"At the very least... they have to last longer than Su Chen." Luo Yao’s face was dark, whether because his injuries had yet to heal or for some other reason.

Right at this moment, the virtual screen belonging to Su Chen suddenly shone with a dazzling, brilliant light.

"That’s..." Zhou Lingtian immediately looked over, his brow furrowing slightly. Soon after, his pupils trembled, and he abruptly stood up, a faint look of shock appearing on his face.

At the same time, everyone watching the battle below, along with the Morning Stars and Ancient Kings, all looked over in unison...

* * *

"If I elevate all the Secret Artifacts to Tier Eight, I’ll be able to withstand it."

Su Chen took a deep breath. The aura around him surged to an unimaginable degree, and dense crimson flames and arcs of lightning almost completely enveloped him. As the two elements collided, dense bursts of Energy exploded continuously. This King’s Shadow’s attacks were unpredictable; it possessed not only some of the Professional Traits of the Bronze Ancient King but also the traits of other Ancient Kings.
