Chapter 115: Roar of the Dragon Elephant, Late-stage Fourth Heavenly Realm Slain

As Chen Chu and Carlos crashed through the building and descended, a figure appeared on the rooftop of the hospital several hundred meters away.

It was a middle-aged man emitting an aura of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, his eyes like lightning as they fell upon the two figures entangled in the distant street.

"These Blood Cultists are truly fearless, lurking around the hospital," Li Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness, followed by a hint of surprise.

The trial participant wearing battle armor, who was only in the middle stage of theThird Heavenly Realm, was evenly matched with the Blood Emissary in the late Fourth Realm.

"Where does this new student come from? Their combat power is ridiculous, rivaling Chen Jianyi from our school. They've already condensed the True Martial Spirit at this realm. What monstrous talent."

It wasn't just this middle-aged man; Lin Xue, Luo Fei, and other cultivators also heard the distant explosions and shockwaves with their keen senses, most of them turning to look in that direction. Unfortunately, several hundred meters, the darkness of night, and multiple walls prevented them from being able to know exactly what was happening over there.

Boom!

Sweeping sideways after taking a spear strike, Chen Chu crashed through a wall, collapsing it. At the same time, his blade almost cleaved Carlos' body in half, blood gushing out.

Clang!

Carlos' long spear embedded into the ground, his face slightly pale. Under the rich blood aura, the terrifying wound on his body immediately stopped bleeding, and then his flesh began to grow, healing at a visible rate.

As a high-level Blood Emissary, his recovery ability after his mutation was terrifying... as long as he had enough life force.

Before he could finish healing, a black shadow shot out amid the smoke and dust, a streak of blade light descending with another slash.

Bang!

Carlos held up his spear horizontally to block, and the resulting eruption sent him flying, crashing into a lamppost behind him and bending it.

Immediately, Carlos lowered his head and rolled on the ground, as the black blade light flashed and instantly sliced through the lamppost.

Springing up from the ground, Carlos' three-meter-long Bloodthirsty Soul-stealing Spear emitted a red glow. He swung it horizontally, unleashing a swath of red light that whistled towards Chen Chu.

Bang!

Chen Chu blocked with his blade, his entire body unwavering, ignoring the shockwaves of Fourth Heavenly Realm true power.

The two of them once again entangled, with collateral damage spreading around them. Anyone and anything caught in their vicinity would be obliterated.

The longer the battle went on, however, the worse Carlos looked. This frenzied battle was rapidly depleting his true power, while the genius from the Federation before him seemed to only grow more and more vigorous, like a blazing flame.

After the Elephant Fury Rune was activated, it would burn the user’s vitality and true power to fuel itself, which normally would be terrifyingly exhausting and unsustainable.

However, Chen Chu's physique was too powerful. Despite being in the Third Heavenly Realm, his physique was comparable to a Fifth Realm cultivator, allowing him to sustain the eruption for a long time. Even if his true power ran out, he still had abundant vitality to support him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their attack speed approached supersonic levels, each collision creating a shower of sparks and exploding qi.

As the battle continued, the cracks and gaps on Carlos' alloy spear grew more numerous, and even the spear tip was cut off by the sharp and terrifying saber.

"You’ll never kill me. Never!" Carlos' face showed madness as he watched the descending blade without flinching.

Puff!

The sharp blade light tore through the protective true power, slashing through the red scales into Carlos's shoulder, then leaving a deep wound visible to the internal organs on his chest.

At the moment the blade descended, Carlos' spear shot out like a poisonous dragon, piercing the air with a sharp whistle before landing on Chen Chu's chest.

Boom!

The red spear qi tore through the black true power, striking the black and red chestplate with a loud thud. The reinforced +10 armor emitted a cracking sound, unable to withstand the force.

Bang!

The alloy of the chestplate finally exploded, and the spear qi, now greatly weakened, struck Chen Chu's chest directly. He was sent flying, crashing into a car.

Boom!

The fuel tank in the car exploded, flames burning as Chen Chu’s burly figure stood up seemingly unharmed, his aura even more violent and filled with oppressive pressure.

In the distance, Carlos’ shoulder was rapidly healing, but the blood light covering him was weakening.

Suddenly, the two burst out, turning into two rays of black and red light and colliding.

Boom!

The violent true power exploded, creating materialized shockwaves and a raging gust of wind that swept the surroundings. In an instant, both of them were sent flying.

One crashed straight through a wall, the other broke a large tree.

Bang!

Bricks exploded as Chen Chu rose from the collapsed wall, black true power swirling around him. The smoke quickly dispersed to reveal his shattered shoulder armor.

With the true power of the late stage Fourth Heavenly Realm and the sharp spear, it had been impossible to completely withstand the impact, even for the reinforced +10 armor.

However, with the armor weakening the strength of the attack, and the additional defensive boost from the Elephant Fury Rune, Chen Chu only suffered minor damage in his vitality from the exchange of blows.

Meanwhile, Carlos, who had just gotten himself out from under the fallen tree, crawled up from the ground. The gaping wound in his abdomen was surrounded by proliferating flesh, rapidly healing the injury.

Watching Carlos' aura diminish with each wound it healed, Chen Chu's gaze grew colder.

Was he truly afraid of exchanging injuries?

Bang!

The ground exploded as the two once again madly clashed together, their momentum becoming increasingly ferocious and brutal. Their battle almost wiped out everything they came into contact with.

In just a short while, half of the street was destroyed by the two, dozens of cars shattered, and some even exploding, the flames leaping up to illuminate the night sky.

Such terrifying commotion had long alarmed the surrounding residents.

Some people trembled in their homes, some screamed in panic, while others stood on the rooftops, watching the inhuman battle below with excitement and even taking out their phones to record it.

The local law enforcement offices were inundated with calls, and the news quickly spread to the Special Forces base, several of them quickly moving out in response. In Kyria, with so many talents gathered, there were too few enemies to go around, especially since the ordinary cultists had been almost completely wiped out recently.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the street, Xia Youhui, injured from a single blow, and Li Meng, who was weakened, stood together, watching the distant battle with dumbfounded expressions.

Li Meng gulped hard. "Damn, why do I feel like we're not even in the same league? Aren't we supposed to be geniuses?"

Xia Youhui shook his head. "Being considered a genius just because you finished Foundation Building within a week... There are too many geniuses in the world if that's the case. My brother said that the school's system is outdated. True geniuses can't be distinguished by the time it takes to finish Foundation Building."

He then grinned. "Who would've thought that the freshman who took fifty minutes just to go through one repetition of the Body Refining Art during the first class would suddenly soar like this?

"Four months to get to the Third Realm—mid-stage even—and he's overpowering a Blood Emissary at the Fourth Realm. Plus every time he attacks, there's that faint roar of an angry elephant, as if...

"Haha, I made a good judgment call. I could tell that Ah Chu was extraordinary. That’s why I became friends with him on the first day of school."

At this point, with both fighters’ full power unleashed, the two could sense from Chen Chu’s aura that his true martial cultivation was at the middle stage of the Third Heavenly Realm. It was just that his combat power... was beyond human.

Not liking Xia Youhui's smug expression, Li Meng exposed him. "Didn't you say that you became friends with Chen Chu because he was so handsome?"

"...Did I say that?" Xia Youhui looked bewildered.

Li Meng nodded seriously. "Yes, you did."

You’re really trying to get away with this? What do you think you are, a pretty girl?

Li Meng hmphed, not missing any chance to strike at Xia Youhui.

Chen Chu and Carlos crashed through the wall of a warehouse with a bang, shredding piles of stacked cardboard boxes into pieces with their weapons and scattering them into the air.

Whoosh!

Sparks ignited the flying cardboard.

As the battle continued, Carlos' injuries became increasingly severe. He now had wounds all over his body, some deep enough to reveal bone, and they no longer healed. With his true power and life force rapidly depleting, he had lost his inhuman regenerative ability.

Chen Chu was well aware of this, having slain a subpar Blood Emissary before, and wasn’t afraid to exchange injuries with him as a result.

Unfortunately, he also wasn’t feeling too well himself. His battle armor was pockmarked, with entire chunks of the alloy lifted off to reveal the now-torn soft steel wires underneath.

This was the terrifying strength of a high-level Blood Emissary. Carlos' physical strength had already exceeded the limits of the Fourth Heavenly Realm, with a base strength estimated at five thousand kilograms. On top of that was his astonishing speed and the amplification of his transformed blood-red true power, which also had a corrosive aspect that was difficult even for Chen Chu’s reinforced armor to withstand.

His defense also wasn’t weak. Besides the protective true power, the scales on his body were as hard as steel.

"Ah!" Carlos, getting suppressed, suddenly let out a mad roar, his expression ferocious, intense frustration gleaming in his blood-red eyes.

Being dominated to this extent by a middle stage Third Heavenly Realm cultivator. He found this utterly unacceptable.

"Even if I fall into hell, I will drag you there with me!" With a fierce shout, Carlos's aura once again skyrocketed, a layer of crimson blood permeating from his body and making him look like a demon.

Roar!

Chen Chu suddenly roared, his voice deep with the angry roar of an elephant. The violent sound waves shook Carlos, causing him to stagger.

The blade light flashed, the saber tearing through the blood-red true power and slashing Carlos's shoulder. At the same time, the suppressed black blade qi within the saber erupted.

Wisdom King Slash!

Bang!

Countless sharp, tiny bursts of blade qi exploded within Carlos’ flesh, directly tearing apart half of his muscles. Blood gushed out, and he let out a miserable scream.

In agony, Carlos grew even more frantic. His long spear, which had lost its head at some point, shot out in an instant. Chen Chu slightly dodged, just enough that it landed on the side of his chestplate that still had alloy.

Boom!

Chen Chu was sent flying, and he crashed into a load-bearing pillar, as smoke started to fill the air. But then, with a bang, he sent the debris on his body flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With multiple injuries, Carlos grew weaker and weaker, while the fire in the warehouse grew bigger, gradually engulfing the entire building.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

A dozen modified off-road vehicles sped over at a hundred kilometers per hour, screeching to a halt on the street, before their doors banged open to let out more than ten excited figures clad in battle armor.

Among them was Liu Feng, who couldn't help but be stunned when he noticed Xia Youhui and Li Meng’s somewhat weakened auras. "What are you two doing here?"

Xia Youhui rolled his eyes. "What do you think? Our class monitor and classmates got beaten up. Shouldn't we come for revenge? This time, Ah Chu is really angry. Look, he's over there, beating up that Fourth Heavenly Realm Blood Emissary so bad he’s barely recognizable."

"...Xia Youhui, I feel like you might be beaten up saying this," Li Meng beside him said in a strange tone.

He knew that Chen Chu had come, not because of Lin Xue, but Luo Fei. Didn't Xia Youhui notice how much time Chen Chu had spent visiting her?

But Xia Youhui's words just now could easily make Liu Feng think that Chen Chu came because of Lin Xue. If this kind of rumor got out...

"

Cough!

I didn't say anything wrong." Xia Youhui coughed and explained. "Class Three has always been very united. Before the trial, we specifically came together to form a team and keep each other informed."

"You guys are really thoughtful." Liu Feng sounded a bit jealous.

Hearing about classmates getting injured and immediately rushing over to seek revenge... Such loyal camaraderie was definitely something to envy.

Meanwhile, the other trial participants stood aside without intervening, watching the distant warehouse where the constant vibrations and roars could be heard. This was an unwritten rule of the trial: whoever found the prey claimed it, and others could not steal the kill unless the first couldn’t hold on to it until the end.

Roar!

Suddenly, Xia Youhui heard the distant roar of an elephant, shaking the earth, followed by a powerful explosion.

Boom!

Under the burning flames, the warehouse collapsed, sending up a rain of sparks that lit up the night sky with overwhelming intensity.

In the raging sea of flames, Chen Chu walked out slowly in his tattered battle armor. Black true power flowed around him, keeping the flames at bay. He exuded a heavy, oppressive aura, his saber in his right hand and the corpse, almost sliced in half, in his left.

So imposing that even these geniuses couldn't help but be impressed.
