Strongest Offline Cultivation

Chapter 38



The beam of energy was split in half but still, it moved forward while striking both of his arms. It didn’t hit his body since it was sliced but the power of the sword wasn’t enough to completely change its direction.

“Argh!”

‘Now that his arms are injured, I can attack continuously.’

Fu Chen immediately dashed towards him. He clenched his right fist and slammed forward. Jian Shen was grunting in pain while trying to balance himself.

When he saw Fu Chen’s fist, he immediately raised his sword and blocked it.

Bam!

But, Fu Chen used this opportunity to kick him from the side. Jian Shen couldn’t move or retreat because he was pushing Fu Chen with all of his force. After getting kicked, he rolled on the ground a few times until he managed to get back on his foot.

This time, he immediately channeled a massive amount of energy into his sword and slashed. His sword released a crescent blue slash that advanced towards Fu Chen with incredible speed.

“Tch!”

Fu Chen took out his dagger and channeled his Spiritual Qi into it. Before the slash could reach him, he blocked it. Although the slash was made out of energy, it was hard as a real sword.

On the top of the building,

“Ohhh! I didn’t think he has already reached the level where he can shoot the Sword Energy from his sword. That boy has a bright future ahead of him.” One of the elders remarked.

“Indeed! Awakening Sword Spirit is a feat that nobody has accomplished in a hundred years timespan. He will bring a massive change to our kingdom. But, then again, that boy Fu Chen isn’t bad either.” Another elder responded with a nod of his head.

“It would be hard to win against someone who can use the Sword Energy though. He was clever enough to injure Jian Shen’s arms first but it wouldn’t be enough.”

“And, if I am not wrong then Tiger Cannon should be his strongest strike, right? That boy cut his strike in half with ease.” The first elder replied.

“Hmm….. Elder Wei, if I am not wrong, Jian Shen is training under you, right? Is Crescent Moon Slash his strongest attack?” The second elder turned his head and looked at Elder Wei.

Elder Wei was just chewing the grass while standing close to the wall.

“No, he has something else in his arsenal. Though I told him not to use it carelessly.”

The first elder and second elder looked at each other and sighed.

“It seems Fu Chen can’t win this battle. Sigh! There is a huge gap in the realm between him and Jian Shen.”

“By the way Elder Wei, is he following the regular cultivation system or sword cultivation system?” The third elder who was also watching the battle asked.

“He is training the Sword Cultivation System.” Elder Wei replied and everyone got silent.

…..

In the Audience,

Xue Le was bitting her teeth as she was watching the battle from the top stage. There were few people there.

‘I should have taught him some powerful martial arts. That swordsman has achieved the Second Stage of Sword Energy Realm. Fu Chen can’t fight him like this.’

‘But, I heard he awakened only a month ago. How did he reach the second stage of Sword Energy Realm so fast? Normally, it takes a month just to reach the peak of the First Stage.’

‘Oh yeah! He also has Sword Spirit. Wait, doesn’t that mean he would be around the peak of the Second Stage? How can Fu Chen defeat someone like him with his cultivation?’

Xue Le clenched her fists. She thought it would be easy for Fu Chen to win this competition but as the competition goes on, the stronger and more unique disciples came for the battle.

On the stage, Fu Chen had already sensed the difference in power between them. With the Sword Energy that was twice as strong as his Spiritual Qi, he has no chance of defeating him.

Unless he uses the Stat Points. But, that would be no different than cheating. Fu Chen didn’t want to cheat especially when he is fighting someone in the competition.

If he cheats here, then he would be no different than a scum.

Suddenly, his lips curled and his eyes widened for a moment.

“Martial Spirit, come out!”

Fu Chen roared and the phantom of the giant blue snake came out of his body. The dragon-like scales covered his body and the shape of the snake covered his head, inside the Tiger Armor.

He had no tail but his entire body had the scales. His strength was boosted to the limit at once. He clenched his left fist and slammed on the sword energy.

Crack! Bang!

His strike broke the sword energy but when he pulled his fist, he realized that the armor on his left fist was broken. Fortunately, those scales weren’t damaged and the only thing that broke was his exterior cover.

He didn’t use the Spiritual Qi to heal his armor rather he slammed his foot on the ground and used Storm Steps.

The next moment, his body reached next to Jian Shen. He raised his hand and caught the upcoming sword slash by catching his wrist. Jian Shen was startled by his fast reflexes for a moment but knowing Fu Chen had such talent, he immediately tried to retreat.

But, Fu Chen caught his wrist so hard that he couldn’t move unless he counterattack but before he could, Fu Chen kicked him on the left side of his stomach.

Thud! Thud!

Releasing his hand, Jian Shen flew out as he struck a few times on the ground and stopped just next to the edge of the stage.

“Phew!”

He sighed a breath of relief but he immediately caught Fu Chen coming his way. He gripped his sword and jumped. His body somersaulted and the sword energy condensed on his blade.

“Crescent Moon Slash!”

With extreme momentum, he slashed his sword toward Fu Chen. His blade released powerful sword energy that just went straight towards Fu Chen.

Fu Chen didn’t get a chance to dodge it. Because he was ignoring Golden Finger Function, he had to rely on his instinct. But, his instinct failed to give him a heads up about this strike.

‘Damn it! I got no choice but to use my fists.’

Fu Chen channeled a massive amount of Spiritual Qi into his hands and caught the slash. The armor on his right fist started breaking and the scales on his left hand were barely holding on against it.

Fu Chen knew if he doesn’t do anything soon, he will get seriously injured. He raised his leg once again and the dagger flew up. He opened his mouth and caught the dagger in his mouth. Channeling another layer of Spiritual Qi into his dagger, he slashed the Crescent Moon Slash.

Crack!

His slash was not just strong but also fast. And, with his fists, he was already holding on against the strike, so when he slashed, it made the cracks on that slash.

But, he didn’t stop there. He shook his head left and right, and broke the slash into pieces.

“Did he just use the dagger by his mouth?” Among the audience, one of the disciples looked at the stage with his widened eyes and muttered.

“I think he did. That’s crazy. Doesn’t that mean he can use three different weapons at once?” Another disciple nodded his head and asked. His eyes widened as well.

“Is this the battle of semi-final? I am pretty sure it wasn’t this exciting the previous year.” Another disciple spoke.

“You can’t be more wrong. The previous year was not even close to this. I’m so hyped. Who do you think will win this battle?” Another disciple asked.

“Of course, it will be Jian Shen. Although Fu Chen is strong, he can’t face off against those strikes continuously. And, he will run out of Spiritual Qi pretty soon as well.” The first disciple responded.

“Nah! I think Fu Chen will win. Don’t forget he can copy other’s martial art. Although that strike seems quite powerful, if he copies it, then he would win with ease.” The second disciple responded.

“Don’t be an idiot! Although he can copy the martial art, he also needs to have enough Spiritual Qi to use it. From the looks of it, it seems he will soon run out of Spiritual Qi.” The first disciple sneered at the second disciple and folded his hands.

“Humph! We will see.” The second disciple stood up and shouted.

“Fu Chen will beat that guy to a pulp!”

“Jian Shen, slash that guy into pieces.” The first disciple also stood up and shouted.

“Come on, you two! They probably can’t hear you from here.” The third disciple moved between them and forced them to sit. In this kind of battle, it is normal to see the audience split into two factions.

But no matter who wins, this battle was reaching its climax as Fu Chen and Jian Shen were standing in front of each other, panting.
