Chapter 397: Chapter 281 Geng Wu Invincible! Dominance in the 6th Realm! [First update, 4000 words, ask for monthly votes!]
"Tragic, truly tragic!"
Lu Yuru couldn’t bear to look directly.
Just a moment ago, she was still admiring Zhuge Zhen, thinking the "Centipede Bee Bag" was invincible in the world. But, unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Zhuge Zhen was severely injured, and the "Centipede Bee Bag" was nearly destroyed. She wondered if it could ever regain its former glory.
Then she turned to look at Yan Chuan.
Lu Yuru noticed the "White Horn Trumpet" in Yan Chuan’s hand emanating a rich green glow, and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement: "It’s clearly just top green equipment! But paired with his terrifying ’Lion’s Roar’, it could actually break Zhuge Zhen’s blue equipment!"
Martial arts have counters.
Treasures too.
It’s apparent, Yan Chuan’s "Lion’s Roar" combined with the "White Horn Trumpet" perfectly countered Zhuge Zhen’s "Centipede Bee Bag" and "Centipede Bee Group".
Poor blue equipment couldn’t match green equipment.
Zhuge Zhen was truly unlucky!
...
First came the Centipede Bee Group.
Then came the Lion’s Roar.
The commotion at the Hai Character Arena was immense.
Everyone inside and outside the arena was watching the competition on the Hai Character Arena, and it caused quite a stir, with people whispering in shock.
Not just them.
Even the Innate Grandmasters in the skies above were quite shocked.
This time, even Jiang Bianliu was surprised: "Yan Chuan’s Lion’s Roar has become even stronger!"
He had personally experienced Yan Chuan’s "Lion’s Roar" in the finals of the Jian Province Competition, paired with the "White Horn Trumpet", and even those at the late stage of limit-breaking outside the arena were shaken at that time.
Truly powerful.
Therefore, even when Yan Chuan arrived at Cang Mountain and consecutively displayed the marvel of "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and "One Yang Finger", earning praise from many Grandmasters, Jiang Bianliu knew that Yan Chuan still had a hidden card, the "Lion’s Roar"!
Yet, he never expected that in just a few months, Yan Chuan’s "Lion’s Roar" would improve so immensely.
"The ’White Horn Trumpet’ is still the same ’White Horn Trumpet’."
"It has nothing to do with it."
It must be Yan Chuan’s mastery of the "Lion’s Roar" that has advanced greatly.
With just one roar!
It could make someone like Zhuge Zhen, who was near the peak of limit-breaking and the postnatal peak, bleed from the seven orifices, truly terrifying in power.
"Zhuge Zhen possesses the ’Centipede Bee Bag’, capable of releasing the ’Centipede Bee Group’, and could have easily and securely held a stage, with few rivals."
"Unfortunately, luck was not on his side. Meeting Yan Chuan in his first match, with the ’Lion’s Roar’ being the nemesis of the ’Centipede Bee Group’, he lost unjustly."
Hui Zhenzi sighed.
Zhuge Zhen was in fact not lacking.
In terms of strength, talent, or fortune, before encountering Yan Chuan, he was undoubtedly outstanding and an absolute leader.
This time, though, meeting Yan Chuan, he was countered.
Hui Zhenzi knows that for Zhuge Zhen, the main concern after this battle is not the physical injuries but whether he can recover from the blow of this defeat.
If he can get through it, he will still be a national leader.
But if he falls into self-doubt, giving birth to fear and obsession, his future will be ruined.
"It’s fate!"
Tian Jing also sighed.
He, who manages the "Traveler Department", has seen too many heavenly prides fall into decline due to various reasons.
Zhuge Zhen might be the next one.
Tian Jing loves talent and does not wish to see this happen.
However, Yan Chuan’s performance this time truly exceeded expectations. While Tian Jing is concerned and regretful for Zhuge Zhen, he also feels happy for Yan Chuan: "With the ’White Horn Trumpet’ and the ’Lion’s Roar’, my brother is indeed not lacking!"
...
Tian Jing and Jiang Bianliu were naturally unaware that while they guessed Yan Chuan’s "Lion’s Roar" mastery had advanced greatly, which is indeed true—from the Four Realms Peak during the Jian Province Competition to the Five Realms Peak now, Yan Chuan’s progress in mastery is significant.
But the great increase in the power of the "Lion’s Roar" this time has another crucial reason: the "White Horn Trumpet" was upgraded from level 10 to level 20 by Yan Chuan.
Originally, it was top-grade white equipment.
Now it’s top-grade green equipment.
An entire level of increase, the power growth is unimaginable.
...
"Conceded!"
Yan Chuan handed the "Wind Gourd" back to Qi Zhicai, while Li Bingcai supported Zhuge Zhen nearby. All three of them had complex expressions. Zhuge Zhen had blood on his face and reluctantly cupped his fists towards Yan Chuan: "Thank you for showing mercy!"
Just now, because Zhuge Zhen was caught off guard by the roar that killed the Centipede Bee Group, he was unable to defend against Yan Chuan’s "Lion’s Roar". If Yan Chuan hadn’t restrained himself in time, he could have roared him to death, or at least left him crippled.
But Yan Chuan didn’t.
Zhuge Zhen felt both resentment and gratitude, with mixed feelings towards Yan Chuan. After forcing himself to express his thanks, he signaled Li Bingcai to help him leave.
It was true that Yan Chuan spared his life.
But by roaring the Centipede Bee Group to death, it was equivalent to taking away half his life. Coupled with his injuries and the loss of the "Centipede Bee Group", Zhuge Zhen was now unlikely to achieve much in the competition.
At this moment, he no longer wished to speak to Yan Chuan and just wanted to leave this place of sorrow as soon as possible.
Qi Zhicai, holding the "Wind Gourd", also cupped his fists to Yan Chuan: "Brother Yan’s movement technique is exquisite, I admire it. My ’Wind Gourd’ will never again be used against Brother Wang’s ’Mirage Pearl’. Please rest assured, both of you."
Qi Zhicai was indeed a straightforward person.
Despite losing, he bore no grudge.
Yan Chuan’s return of the "Wind Gourd" further gave him a sense of joy from recovering something lost, so he stated his position immediately after receiving the "Wind Gourd".
"Thank you very much!"
Yan Chuan smiled and thanked him.
This hard-fought battle of this round was over.
He won indeed.
But different from the original plan, with the ’Mirage Pearl’ being broken, he had no choice but to engage in a real tough battle with Zhuge Zhen and others.
Wang Zhengyi expended a lot of physical strength and Inner Strength.
Yan Chuan as well.
He was fine at first, but later facing the "Centipede Bee Group", he was indeed a bit afraid. A full-powered "Lion’s Roar" unleashed all his Inner Strength and Inner Qi, and the consumption of Inner Strength and Inner Energy was secondary. Most importantly, the drain on energy and mind was significant, requiring at least four hours of quiet recuperation.
