Chapter 663 - 359: Shock

Ordinary monitoring and detection equipment would find it absolutely impossible to capture the combat details of a Tier Seven Professional.

Even though this was the Bronze Ancient King’s method, at the most dazzling moment of the clash, boiling Energy entirely enveloped the figure on the screen, leaving only a blinding expanse of blazing white.

When the image gradually cleared, all that remained in everyone’s view was a figure seen from behind, wrapped in blood-red lightning. Even through the screen, a ferocious aura rushed at their faces.

In front of him was a slowly dissipating phantom of light.

"S-Shattered?" Sheng Huaixu’s pupils shrank. As he watched helplessly, his scalp went numb. He found it completely inconceivable.

Was the King’s Shadow something a Tier Seven Professional could shatter?

Let alone Tier Seven, even an ordinary Tier Eight wouldn’t necessarily be able to break it. At the very least, it would require a Tier Eight Professional at the Divine Dawn or Star Seed level, utilizing a Melting dual Holy Profession to accomplish such a feat.

Most importantly, Su Chen was bare-handed. Just what level had his physical toughness and explosive power reached?

It wasn’t just him; everyone who had exited earlier revealed expressions of sheer horror.

They had all fought that King’s Shadow. Some had fled in a panic, unable to last a single minute, while others had struggled to defend, barely holding on for three or four minutes.

Its unpredictable attack patterns and practically flawless physical body had left them with massive psychological trauma.

If they didn’t know that these Ancient King-level figures wouldn’t lie to them, they would have doubted whether this entity even belonged to the Tier Seven category.

"Su Chen..." Shen Yi’an’s mouth twitched. He let out a seemingly self-deprecating laugh, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "How are we even supposed to compete with that?"

Even the Morning Stars were moved.

"He’s merely at Tier Seven, yet he can reach this extent." Wu Yue’s face was ashen. Even within the Morning Star Tier, differences in their foundations resulted in varying gaps in strength.

The Rebellious God King and this Zhou Lingtian would both have more than enough power to take on two of him at once.

Ever since the Dust Star Sea completely returned to peace over four thousand years ago, Ancient King-level entities had almost never made a move. In the few large-scale wars that did occur, the highest level of combat was only at the Morning Star Tier.

Su Chen’s performance was far more terrifying than that of the Rebellious God King and Zhou Lingtian in their youth.

Once he advanced to the Morning Star Tier, he would likely become even more formidable.

Perhaps for the next few hundred or even a thousand years, the True Martial Sect might end up suppressed because of Su Chen, while the Bronze Sect might become even more glorious than it was at its absolute peak.

"Gathering the Power of Six Kings..." Qi Heng murmured softly. "Although that King’s Shadow is only at Tier Seven, it was forged with partial Professional Traits from six Moonlight Tier experts."

Professional Traits were unlike ordinary Professional Abilities. Even Holy Profession abilities struggled to contend with them, as they already possessed an intensity verging on the conceptual level.

Although this King’s Shadow had only condensed a tiny fraction of them and its intrinsic Tier was restricted to Tier Seven, the fact that Su Chen forcibly shattered it was truly unimaginable.

The astonishment in Zhou Lingtian’s eyes gradually faded as he sat back down, replaced by a profound thoughtfulness. He pondered, "That blood-gold skin... it mainly relies on the Melting Holy Profession he possesses, but it’s slightly different from before. It seems to be mixed with the power of a Healing Sage.

"Restoration? No... a Healing Sage creates false bodies..."

Although the screen made it difficult to pry into Su Chen’s physical condition, the various scenes from the battle just now had still been captured. With his keen eyesight, he had already discerned the characteristics of quite a few professions.

"His ultimate explosive power has increased significantly," Zhou Lingtian continued to analyze. "That’s normal, considering his Main Tier advanced to Tier Seven. However, his endurance has also risen drastically. He must have deliberately compensated with some Physical Strength-type professions to cover up his weaknesses.

"But it’s only been a short year. Advancing his Main Profession and patching up his flaws—even with the help of the Creation Copper Heart, it shouldn’t have been this fast, right?"

But he immediately realized that he shouldn’t just be focusing on this past year.

Su Chen was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old now. Let alone this year, his progress over the past several years was extremely illogical. Furthermore, a Healing Sage was a class one could only take on at Tier Seven. It couldn’t be that Su Chen had advanced to Tier Seven a long time ago, could it?

"No wonder there are rumors circulating that Su Chen harbors a massive secret," Zhou Lingtian thought, shaking his head inwardly.

"A body like refined iron, with a terrifying physique," the Profound Celestial Ancient King pondered. Because the Bronze Ancient King was blocking them, it was difficult to see through Su Chen’s depths completely.

This was not hard to deduce. Aside from Su Chen, Wei Zhenghong and Shen Yi’an had only displayed the standard performance of a Star Seed; they hadn’t been overly outstanding.

"Hmm... Whether it was taking on a Melting Holy Profession at Tier Six or transforming into a Dual Divine Dawn Talent inside the Profound Celestial Instrument, it probably didn’t have much to do with the Bronze Sect. It should be due to Su Chen’s own reasons.

"With Bronze blocking us, it’s hard to investigate. I’ll wait until he’s acknowledged by the Spirit of Sun to take another look."

Once Su Chen was acknowledged by the Spirit of Sun, he would have to act as the medium to open the pathway. Naturally, they would be able to pry into his secrets then.

The Hanhai Emperor’s eyes were filled with contemplation as he remarked, "An interesting little guy. Once he advances to the Morning Star Tier, I’m afraid he’ll have a chance to replace Lu Feng’s position..."

Lu Feng was the true name of the Rebellious God King.

The Zhenwu Ancient King said flatly, "Hanhai, you certainly rate him highly."

He was also quite amazed, wondering exactly how Su Chen had reached such a stage, quietly waiting for the manifestation of that wisp of Spiritual attachment.

The Hanhai Emperor’s voice remained indifferent. "I am merely stating the facts."

Compared to the Morning Stars, their reactions were much calmer, mostly fueled by curiosity.

This was not only due to their own broad horizons but also because of the Traits of high-ranking professions.

Even if Su Chen became the strongest in the Morning Star Tier, he still wouldn’t be able to shake their positions.

Take the Rebellious God King, Lu Feng, for instance. Back in the day, he was also stronger than them at the Morning Star Tier, but what about now?

The Ancient Kings each had their own thoughts. The Bronze Ancient King’s expression remained tranquil. Given that Su Chen could purify the mid-level Fog Ashes, displaying this kind of strength at Tier Seven was not actually surprising.
