Martial Master

Qin Chen stood there unscathed, not a single injury on him, and it even seemed that his hairstyle had not been disturbed at all.

How could this be possible?

Everyone was almost going crazy. The self-detonation of the Ice King was something that even they, peak Martial Kings at the initial seventh level, could hardly withstand. Previously, they had been standing far away, reacting in time, which was why they were not too affected. Even so, they had all sustained some injuries, more or less.

Yet Qin Chen had been at the center of the explosion. Logically, he should have been the one most severely injured. Moreover, he was merely half a step into the Martial King realm. If he were to be blasted into ashes, it wouldn’t be out of the question.

But now…

Looking at the intact Qin Chen, the likes of Wu Shuang Wang were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost, unable to speak for a long time.

Under the astonished gazes, Qin Chen did not pay any attention to their shock. He let his true energy spread and suddenly slapped his palm down. A huge wave of true fire burst forth, scorching the many spirit bugs that had turned into ice debris on the ground.

A crackling sound arose as these spirit bugs, which had not shown any signs of life before, seemed to awaken from hibernation, shaking their wings and wobbling into the air. One by one, they went back into the black gourd, not a single one had died.

At the same time, Qin Chen casually retrieved the Ice King's storage ring, not even glancing at it, and directly placed it into his own storage ring. He then said flatly, “Alright, is there anyone who is still unconvinced? Come on up.”

His indifferent voice echoed through the hall, and all the Martial Kings around stared blankly at Qin Chen, none making a sound.

What a joke! The Ice King, who had comparable cultivation to them, had been slain by Qin Chen in such a short time, and he had remained unscathed after the Ice King's self-detonation. Who would dare to step forward now?

While their strength was indeed a bit stronger than the Ice King's, it was only marginally so. If those black bugs had attacked them, they couldn’t be sure they would have come out unscathed. How could they compete with him?

Most importantly, Qin Chen was occupying the second light orb, which was the least important. If Qin Chen's strength had been average, they might have directly killed him to resolve the issue. But now that he had demonstrated such terrifying strength, they were unwilling to fight him to the death deep down.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Wu Shuang Wang's expression turned extremely ugly, and he angrily said, “Even if you possess the strength to occupy the light orb, there's no need to resort to such vicious means, right? Just now, the Ice King clearly begged for mercy, and you had the ability to spare him, yet you directly killed him. Isn’t that a bit excessive?”

This suggestion was put forth by him, and he had a decent relationship with the Ice King. While he did not wish to engage in battle with Qin Chen, he still had to show a facade of strength.

“Excessive? If you think it's excessive, feel free to attack me directly. Stop whining like a woman.”

Qin Chen let out a cold laugh, disregarding Wu Shuang Wang entirely and coldly said, “Since no one here wants to compete with me for the second light orb, then this second light orb belongs to me. Blood Hand King, if anyone dares to attack me, just kill them on my behalf.”

After saying this, Qin Chen didn’t even look at the crowd. He directly began to study the restrictions on the surface of the light orb.

“You…”

Wu Shuang Wang trembled in anger. It was the first time he had been so humiliated by a young man. His face flushed red, and with a thunderous sound, a terrifying killing intent erupted from him as he prepared to attack Qin Chen.

“Wu Shuang Wang, why be so agitated!”

Blood Hand King quickly stopped Wu Shuang Wang, chuckling awkwardly, but the warning in his eyes was unmistakable.

He was also feeling frustrated. He had made a Heavenly Dao oath, and he had to obey Qin Chen. Otherwise, his Dao heart would be damaged, and even if he obtained treasures, he’d never be able to elevate his strength in this lifetime.
