CHAPTER TEXT:
It truly signifies genius, half human, half beast.
Bang!
As Chen Chu walked over, he tossed the corpse to the ground and glanced at the trial participants, his gaze landing on Liu Feng. He chuckled lightly, "Everyone's here."
At this moment, Xia Youhui hesitated and asked, "A Chu, are you seriously injured?"
Chen Chu looked quite disheveled; the alloy battle armor on his chest, shoulders, and back was almost destroyed, with some areas dented and deformed, exposing inner steel wires.
The worst was his right arm; the armor was nearly shredded, revealing the sturdy arm beneath.
As for the black cloak behind him, only a tattered piece remained draped over his shoulder, with the only intact item being the heavy helmet, which had merely a few charred marks from fire.
Casually, Chen Chu replied, "I'm fine; it's just that this set of battle armor needs repair."
This was the benefit of having powerful defenses. Under the +10 armor defense, even Carlos's attack, which exchanged injuries, merely destroyed the armor.
As for the terrifyingly dense physique behind the armor, his skin, like jade, only experienced surges of vitality from being shaken, and then with a turn of true power, it quickly returned to normal.
In such circumstances, Carlos couldn't fight back at all. In the end, he was blasted away by Chen Chu's liquid bomb, which caused him to unleash all his power in a moment, resulting in a fatal strike.
As for the broken armor, it would be picked up and repaired later. With some parts destroyed, the enchantment of +10 sturdiness was lost.
At this point, Chen Chu's armor was only slightly sturdier than ordinary armor, looking as if it had been tempered with true power—no one would really notice.
Just then, a young man with a long sword on his back took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face and a hint of combat spirit in his eyes. "Your strength is impressive. I’m Chen Jianyi from Qinchuan Martial High."
Chen Chu paused slightly before nodding, "…Southern Heaven Martial High, Chen Chu."
Chen Jianyi looked at Chen Chu with interest and suggested, "Classmate Chen, you're quite strong. How about we spar after the trial ends?"
"Maybe another time."
From this boy, Chen Chu sensed a sharp and terrifying sword aura, but he wasn't here to compete, so he didn't agree.
Suddenly, the distant sound of a fire alarm echoed, and law enforcement vehicles arrived, with some firefighters dousing the flames while others dealt with the aftermath.
There was no helping it; although they had killed that blood envoy, the destruction caused during the battle was severe.
Two floors of a building had been breached, half a street was destroyed, and a warehouse burned down, along with some ordinary people affected by the battle's aftermath.
However, this had nothing to do with Chen Chu; the local authorities would handle it and provide compensation.
Unfortunately, killing one late-stage four heavens blood envoy yielded the same rewards as one early-stage four heavens—a mere thirty contribution points. The long spear and cloak were destroyed in the fight, losing their value, leaving Chen Chu unsure if he had gained or lost.
That night, Chen Chu found the blood envoy and the news of his kill shocked Lin Xue and the others.
"You really killed that blood envoy!?"
In the room, Chen Chu had just returned from a shower and was drying his hair when Lin Xue, Lin Yu, and Iray, who had gathered some information, knocked on the door.
Looking at the resolute and handsome youth before her, Lin Xue's eyes were filled with disbelief.
That was a late-stage four heavens elite blood envoy, not a weak ordinary disciple. The day before, they had only exchanged a few moves and had been injured.
If it hadn't been for Luo Fei's daylight bomb exploding in the air, alarming the guarding teachers, and the secret treasure temporarily repelling that blood envoy, forcing him to retreat out of caution, someone might have died.
Of course, Kailya had gathered the most talented new students from Eastern Summer; there were indeed those capable of fighting blood envoys of a higher stage.
