Chapter 347: Defeat Shang Han with One Move
Nearby spectators were all stunned.
Facing the Yunyang Academy prodigy Fu Beiling, Chen Yu still managed to kick him off the platform.
Could Chen Yu be a master of leg techniques? But from the looks of that attack posture, it was just a very ordinary kick!
"I underestimated you, it really does hurt a bit!"
After kicking Fu Beiling off the combat platform, Chen Yu's right leg slightly shrugged left and right.
Chen Yu had resisted with his physical strength alone, and Fu Beiling's attack was indeed formidable. However, had Chen Yu activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body, it would have probably felt no more than a tickle.
Fu Beiling, kicked off the challenge platform, was dumbfounded. But when he heard Chen Yu's words, he was suddenly overcome with rage, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He really wanted to curse at Chen Yu, you've already kicked me off the platform, please stop humiliating me.
The battle ended, and Chen Yu walked down from the combat platform under the watchful eyes of many.
At this moment, everyone finally took Chen Yu seriously.
Although Fu Beiling was only in the Late Innate Stage, being a genius of the Fu Family, he had excellent talent and potential and was considered the leading candidate for the next academy competition from the Sky Star Academy.
Yet Chen Yu, a young man of the same age, also eligible to participate in the next academy competition, had defeated Fu Beiling with such ease.
Only now did some people understand that Yu Hong, who had admitted defeat earlier on, might have truly believed he was no match for Chen Yu, rather than because Chen Yu had a strong backing in the academy.
"How is his strength so strong? Could there be a special defensive item on his leg?"
Shang Han stared intently at Chen Yu.
She was also on Platform Four, destined to face Chen Yu, and she had previously believed she had a great chance of winning.
But watching Chen Yu's battle, her confidence wavered, not as solid as before.
Little did she know, Chen Yu had defeated Fu Beiling without even using True Qi.
"This youngster, his strength has increased quite fast!"
Duan Xinyue also looked at Chen Yu with a serious eye.
Of course, in her view, Chen Yu's speed on the combat platform was nothing compared to her own.
Duan Xinyue considered Chen Yu strong but not a real challenger.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Beiling, I will help you thoroughly humiliate this boy,"
Lv Qiuling said to the beside recuperating Fu Beiling.
"It's done for, Lv Qiuling is seeking revenge for Fu Beiling!"
"Lv Qiuling, ranked the second powerhouse at Sky Star Academy with numerous Spirit Pets, could almost instantly crush Chen Yu!"
Many people looked at Chen Yu with some sympathy.
They didn't know that Lv Qiuling already bore a grudge against Chen Yu, and was just looking for an excuse while also doing Fu Beiling a favor.
They also didn't know that Lv Qiuling's powerful Spirit Pets were gone.
At the summit of the mountain where Sky Star Academy was stationed, a woman in palace attire with her hair done up spoke to Yi Lantian via voice transmission: "This disciple of yours must be a body cultivator, but to defeat Fu Beiling without even using True Qi is indeed extraordinary. What Body Cultivation Technique does he practice?"
"You'll know in a while!"
Yi Lantian, rarely showing a hint of a faint smile.
The competition continued, quickly reaching the seventh round.
Chen Yu was fortunate not to encounter any formidable opponents, and each one was kicked off the combat platform by him.
"This boy is too mean, humiliating people like this during the competition!"
"Yes, being kicked off the combat platform like that, even I would be left with a psychological shadow!"
Voices of denunciation started emerging from various places.
Meanwhile, on Platform Three, the Puppet Master Kong Zhong defeated a Postnatal Late Stage disciple, earning a round of applause.
"This Puppet Master is also considered a dark horse, having lost only to Ye Chengfeng and Luo Haotian so far, otherwise maintaining a complete winning streak."
The Puppet Master Kong Zhong had found an opportunity within the secret realm and had already broken through to Late Innate.
Combined with his new puppets and superb control techniques, he was nearly invincible among Late Innate competitors, having previously even used a stalling tactic to defeat an Innate Peak disciple.
"That's not the only dark horse, the Thunder Spirit Body prodigy Wu Heng from Yunyang Academy, and the Eighth Prince from the royal family, are both young and surprisingly powerful."
Fights were going on all four platforms, leaving watchers unsure which one to focus on.
Platform Four, comes the eighth round.
This time, Chen Yu's opponent was a strong contender at the Innate Peak stage from the Yunyang Academy.
"Hehe, kid, you're too conspicuous..."
A dark-faced youth, looking at Chen Yu, grinned mischievously.
"Is that so?"
Chen Yu simply smiled.
He just felt there was no need to use his real skills against those people, and inadvertently killing them might strip him of his right to compete in the grand competition.
"Haha, you underestimate Yunyang Academy!"
The dark-faced youth laughed aloud.
Though he ranked eighteenth in Yunyang Academy, the top twenty from Yunyang all reached the Innate Peak stage, far surpassing the other three major academies.
Swoosh!
Chen Yu didn't bother to chat further, moving instantly.
The dark-faced youth's eyes shifted slightly, clearly able to see Chen Yu's form, but he didn't move.
Hah!
Suddenly, the dark-faced youth let out a low shout, his burly body instantly swelling a bit, with many metal-like patterns emerging, exuding an astonishing forceful pressure.
It turned out the dark-faced youth was also a body cultivator, preferring close combat. Knowing Chen Yu would approach, he naturally saw no need to dodge.
"Do you think you can kick me off the platform with one foot?"
The dark-faced youth said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh? Body Cultivation?"
Chen Yu glanced at the dark-faced youth. If it was about Body Cultivation, there should have been some fighting.
He still lifted a foot and kicked at the dark-faced youth.
But this time, he activated the energy of his demonic patterns, and a layer of dark misty demonic patterns swirled around Chen Yu's legs.
Bang!
Chen Yu kicked, and the dark-faced youth punched out at the same time.
"How can this be? Such strong True Qi!"
The dark-faced youth's complexion suddenly turned ugly, his arm trembling violently as he retracted it.
Chen Yu's "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" had broken through to the third layer, further enhancing the energy of the demonic patterns, almost approaching Half-step True Essence.
Ranked eighteenth at Yunyang Academy, the dark-faced youth was far inferior compared to the top contenders at the Innate Peak, naturally unable to withstand Chen Yu's kick at this moment.
As the dark-faced youth withdrew his arm, Chen Yu kicked at his chest, producing a muffled sound.
"It's somewhat tough!"
Chen Yu realized the dark-faced youth's defense was quite strong, firmly rooted to the ground.
Immediately, Chen Yu mobilized more demonic pattern energy, bursting forth, even utilizing some of the power from the Secret Pattern Demon Body.
Thud!
The dark-faced youth was still kicked off the Life and Death Platform.
"My goodness, even someone at the Innate Peak was kicked off the platform by him!"
"And Wei Dong is a Body Cultivator, aren't their defenses supposed to be very strong? How did he get kicked off?"
Many bystanders were greatly surprised.
However, if they had faced that powerful kick from Chen Yu, they wouldn't think this way.
"What powerful Demon True Qi!"
Some students nearby the platform clearly felt the True Qi that Chen Yu had just released.
It was hard to imagine that at just the Innate Middle Stage, his True Qi was so condensed and powerful.
On the ground, the dark-faced youth climbed up very frustrated, looking at Chen Yu with a fearful expression.
He never expected that, as a Body Cultivator, he would be kicked off the platform by a youngster at the Innate Middle Stage.
However, looking at it from a different angle, he, at least, forced Chen Yu to use his True Qi; previous opponents of Chen Yu had been dealt with a single kick without even using True Qi.
Thinking this way, the dark-faced youth actually felt he had performed rather well.
After Chen Yu kicked the Innate Peak Body Cultivator off the platform, several other challengers of decent strength chose to concede when faced with Chen Yu.
After all, being kicked off the platform was quite embarrassing and could easily leave a psychological scar.
It wasn't until the twelfth round that Chen Yu finally faced a formidable opponent, albeit only in the eyes of others.
"Chen Yu against Shang Han."
"Shang Han ranks fifth at No Demon Academy, a top contender in the Innate Peak, while Chen Yu ranks thirteenth. This time, he's going to get a thorough beating."
"I heard that Shang Han seems to have a grudge against Chen Yu, this time, she will definitely not miss this chance to humiliate him."
Many were looking forward to this battle.
Chen Yu walked to the platform, wearing a playful smile as he observed the noble and stunning woman in white across from him.
Back then, on the Life and Death Platform, Chen Yu had killed Shang Honglan, and Shang Han had vowed to make Chen Yu pay the price.
Afterward, Shang Han had prepared to strike against Chen Yu, but just by chance, after that battle, Chen Yu was taken in as a disciple by the deputy dean.
But now, the two were facing each other again.
"I am ranked fifth at No Demon Academy, even if his strength is strong, I can defeat him!"
Shang Han silently thought, her gaze fixed on Chen Yu, her figure swiftly moving.
Whoosh!
From her sleeve suddenly flew a white ribbon, wrapping towards Chen Yu at high speed.
Moreover, the Shang Family, being one of the four great super clans, this ribbon was actually a top-grade treasure.
Had it been any other beautiful and powerful woman, Chen Yu might have played along, but for Shang Han, he had no fond feelings.
Chen Yu activated the Secret Pattern Demon Body, his body turning dark and glossy while a layer of demonic pattern energy enveloped him, making him look extremely terrifying, like a fierce demon.
Roar~
A fierce wind howled as Chen Yu rushed forward at high speed towards Shang Han.
At this moment, the strength Chen Yu burst forth with was far beyond before, greatly surprising Shang Han.
She knew that Chen Yu had held back before, but now facing her, Chen Yu was not going to show any mercy.
"I am the fifth-ranked genius in the academy, defeating me won't be so easy!"
Shang Han was incredibly annoyed, her face filled with cold hostility.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Her white ribbon rapidly stirred, forming a powerful whirlwind.
However, after mobilizing the Secret Pattern Demon Body and demonic pattern energy, Chen Yu completely ignored Shang Han's attacks, reaching her front.
"Impossible..."
Shang Han shuddered, her heart filled with sudden panic and confusion.
How could Chen Yu ignore her attacks?
Seeing Chen Yu approaching, Shang Han, without a second thought, mobilized a small amount of her Half-step True Essence, and fiercely struck out with a palm.
Chen Yu, unabashedly fearless, powered up and threw a punch.
Boom!
Upon the collision of fist and palm, Shang Han's True Qi and Half-step True Essence were shattered, and she herself was thrown outside the platform.
With the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" breaking through to the third layer, Chen Yu's demonic pattern energy, powerful enough to rival Half-step True Essence, combined with his use of the Secret Pattern Demon Body deploying full strength in a punch, was something Shang Han could not withstand.
