Chapter 682: Grand Slam

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

On the battle ring, Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back. His white robe was fluttering in the wind, making him look like a sage.

As he stepped onto the battle ring, the atmosphere at the scene also reached an all time high. Everyone’s blood was boiling.

Everyone’s spirit was now lifted. As if they’ve been shot with a dose of chicken blood, they waited for the battle that concludes the Competition of the Four Paths.

Of course, what they were looking forward to the most, was for Ling Xian to break the record and be the first man to pave this unexplored path.

Only person didn’t want this to happen. That was Leng Feng.

He didn’t want to be the stepping stone that Ling Xian used to become a legend. To him, that was a form of humiliation!

“You really think of me as a soft persimmon?”

Leng Feng’s expression was cold as he stared at Ling Xian with a deadly stare. As if he was a snake who was checking out his prey.

“I am not treating you like a soft persimmon. It’s just that I have to acquire the winning seat.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and ignored his cold stare. “I will also conveniently break some records.”

“You won’t be able to break any records.”

Leng Feng smiled in disdain. “I will make sure you realize that the Competition of the Four Paths is not a joke. And I, Leng Feng, will not be a stepping stone for you.”

“That’s not really up to you.”

Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. “We will let reality talk and determine whether or not you will be my stepping stone.”

“Very good. Then let us begin. I will defeat you so hard and strike you down so low you will become a laughing stock.” Leng Feng snickered with sarcasm and coldness.

“We will have to see if you have that ability or not.”

Ling Xian smiled faintly. His hands remained behind his back, looking like a sage.

“You will see that the professions are only professions after all. The true power in this world is all about capabilities.”

Leng Feng proudly grinned and continued to glare at Ling Xian, not thinking highly of him at all.

This was normal. He had never lost since he began his cultivation journey and he just defeated all the other descendants of the cultivation paths. He naturally felt like he was undefeatable and could defeat anyone who came his way.

His capabilities truly were extraordinary. He was not foundational undefeatable, but he wasn’t far from it.

However, to Ling Xian, he was no more than a three-year-old toddler.

Though this clone’s cultivation level was the same as the man before him, Ling Xian had experienced thousands of battles and he was not someone Leng Feng could match up to.

Thus, Ling Xian smiled without many thoughts. “Let’s talk less and begin our fight.”

Seeing how calm Ling Xian was and how little he saw of him, Leng Feng was furious. He unleashed an aggressive amount of Qi.

HOMMMMMM!

Qi of the foundational peak poured out of him. Like a God from above, it suppressed down from above and stretched for 3,000 miles!

Peak foundational Qi!

When someone firmly believes that oneself is undefeatable, this Qi gets unleashed. Though there really is not much use to this, as it only proves one’s confidence and not capabilities.

After all, why would someone with real abilities believe they are undefeatable?

After unleashing this Qi, Leng Feng’s attitude turned even more arrogant. He looked at Ling Xian with disdain as if he was looking at an ant that he could just step on at any time.

Everyone at the scene was shocked by this gush of power.

This made them realize that the opponent Ling Xian was up against was a Heaven’s Favorite that could destroy a group of heroes.

Everyone has seen how strong Leng Feng was and how capable he was. At this moment, after he unleashed the Qi of the foundational peak, everyone felt like cold water had been poured on them and that they were having too high of hopes.

It was already established that Ling Xian was extraordinary with Arrays, Crafts, and Alchemy. But everyone’s energy and time are limited. If he could achieve such glory on all three paths, it means he wouldn’t have had the time to focus on cultivation.

Leng Feng was also an aggressive character who just defeated a handful of descendants. His capabilities have been proven to be horrifying. Thus, everyone there felt that the chances of Ling Xian winning this was low.

“Aye, I got too excited and forgot about how capable Leng Feng was.”

“Yeah, his powerfulness is something I have witnessed. Though he isn’t undefeatable foundational yet, he is close to it.”

“That’s right. The other Heaven’s Favorites of the other three peaks have all been defeated by him. Xian Ling is also a genius for the three professions. There is no way he would be a beast at cultivation as well.”

Everyone sighed long sighs and felt their hope evaporate. They think they’ve been having too high of hopes.

Even the leaders were frowning.

Only Ling Xian himself remained collected and did not become flustered by this.

“You heard them.”

Leng Feng’s lips curled into a smile, “People who believed in your moments ago no longer believe that you can defeat me.”

“So what? With things like this, reality talks.”

Ling Xian glared at him. There was no change in his expression.

“You have seen how I have the undefeatable mentality yet you still dare to talk to me in such a manner. You sure won’t cry until you see your coffin.” Leng Feng snickered. His eyes flickered with killer’s intent.

Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He already acquired the undefeatable mentality when he was in the meditational stage.

If Leng Feng was trying to defeat him with this alone, then he was dreaming.

“Let’s stop talking and start fighting.”

Just then, Ling Xian stepped forward one step and his white robe flared up.

Compared to Leng Feng’s Qi, what Ling Xian emitted was basically of the meditational level. It posed no threat to Leng Feng.

Everyone sighed at this; no longer having much hope.

“Haha, Qi of this level? Isn’t he embarrassed?”

Laughing, Leng Feng marched forward one step and his spiritual energy roared into the sky like angry waves!

HOMMMMM!

The clouds all dissipated at the gush of wind!

At the same time, he formed a hand seal and a golden spear appeared, emitting cold killer’s intent.

“Die!”

Smiling evilly, Leng Feng summoned all his energy. The golden spear began to shine brightly and howled toward Ling Xian.

Whooooosh!

The golden spear sliced across the sky like a shooting star. Carrying with it was a thunderous amount of energy that headed right towards Ling Xian’s head!

At once, everyone’s expression changed. They all recognized this technique and couldn’t help but grow fearful. They all thought that there was no more hope for Ling Xian.

Yet when this horrifying spear was just an inch away from Ling Xian, it suddenly stopped – as if something had stopped it from moving forward.

This changed the expression on Leng Feng’s face. He didn’t think this attack of his would end up being like a rock being thrown into an ocean.

Everyone was stunned by this. They rubbed their eyes and suspected that they were imagining things.

They knew very well what this technique was. Leng Feng had used this technique to defeat many of his opponents. Yet when this gold spear approached Ling Xian, it had suddenly disappeared. This made them voiceless.

“You have stopped this one attack of mine. So you are somewhat capable. However, you will soon lose.” Leng Feng’s attitude remained arrogant. He still thought nothing of Ling Xian.

“Whether I will lose or you will lose. You will learn that soon enough.”

Ling Xian glared at him. Then, he made his move.

He felt far too lazy to argue any longer. Thus, as he moved, his entire demeanor changed.

If his demeanor before was like a young cultivator of the meditational level, he right now was like an awakening beast that was arousing fear in everyone!

All because the Qi he was exuding was not just of the peak of the foundational level. It was of the undefeatable level!

The legendary realm of undefeatable!

Originally, Ling Xian wasn’t planning on having his clone breakthrough to the undefeatable level. However, in order to fully acquire Yu Wu Xiu’s interest, he decided to show his unbelievable talent before everyone’s eyes.

Only doing so would Yu Wu Xiu become fully interested in him. Only then, could he truly let go.

At this moment, Ling Xian had displayed his undefeatable foundational Qi. He was acting like a God who had just awakened!

“Let us finish this in one round.”

Ling Xian spoke and began his attack. Under Leng Feng’s shocked gaze, he gently punched forward.

This punch was slow and gentle and by appearance, wouldn’t pose a threat. Yet the moment it was thrown, the between them space began to shake uncontrollably. The path the fist traveled through crumbled under pressure and made everyone tremble.

Immediately, everyone’s face changed colors.

Leng Feng was the same. He felt the terror of this punch and his entire being fell into hell. A rush of coldness flew up to his head.

This generated fear in him. He quickly made his move to dodge this attack. In the next second, however, the fear he felt increased. Because he realized that he couldn’t move his body.

What a joke, since Ling Xian had decided to finish this in one round, why would he give his enemy the opportunity to get away?

He naturally had to lock this person down and win this with one decisive move.

HOMMMMM!

This fist was howling and pushing forward with enough strength to destroy Leng Feng.

The terror crushed the space and also crushed this Heaven’s Favorite’s confidence and pride.

However, he knew very well that if he does nothing, he will become defeated by this one strike. Thus, his body began to emit an infinite amount of heavenly light as he revealed his strongest technique!

What a pity though, despite his strong abilities, Ling Xian was more capable.

His technique was destroyed the moment the punch hit it. Then, his entire body was plunged backward.

Retch!

He puked out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was slammed into the ground. His face was full of awe.

The entire place silenced.

Nobody spoke, nobody cheered. There was merely heavy breathing. Under the circumstance that even a pin drop could be heard, everyone’s breathing was loud and clear.

All the audiences’ eyes were widened. They looked at Leng Feng, who was white in the face. Then they looked at Ling Xian, who was calm and collected. Disbelief was written all over their faces.

Defeated?

Leng Feng, who destroyed all other descendants, was defeated after one attack?!

Everyone’s expression froze on their faces as they questioned whether they were hallucinating. Or else how could something so ridiculous be happening?

To them, Leng Feng was one of the strongest descendants they’ve seen in the last 10 years and was titled to be undefeatable. Yet this undefeatable figure was smashed out after one punch. Of course, this was hard to believe!

They triple checked to make sure they weren’t hallucinating. Then, like a volcano, everyone erupted!

The defeat of Leng Feng meant the victory of Ling Xian. It meant he had won the grand slam and was the first person in history to acquire the winning title under all four paths!

He was an unprecedented pioneer!
