646 Figh

When Lin Dong’s words resounded across the platform, a soft whoosh could beheard coming from all directions. Quite a few Desolate Hall disciples werestunned as Lin Dong’s straightforwardness had completely exceeded theirexpectations.

“He sure is a bold and charismatic fellow…”

A few of the direct disciples were observing this moment play out, while ahint of admiration surfaced in their eyes. Tong Chuan could not stomach whathappened today, and the one way he could settle this was not complex, which wasto fight.

Strength was an entry pass at any place, and it was no exception within theDesolate Hall.

Tong Chuan actually understood that even after he personally taught Lin Dong alesson, it was still nigh impossible to change the fact that he would receivethe Pill River Head Immersion. Since Lin Dong had made contributions towardsthe Dao Sect, the two heads of the Desolate Hall would not withdraw his rewardjust because of his opposition.

The reason he continued to do so was ,firstly, he was unable to swallow thisdown, and secondly he thought that he could press down the invincible air ofthis new disciple. This was to let him know that although he was the championof the Hundred Empire War, he would still have to obediently withdraw the airof arrogance brought by this title.

However, what caused Tong Chuan to feel surprised was that Lin Dong actuallyturned from a guest into a host, and before allowing him to explain fully, hehad already sent out his challenge.

Due to his actions, regardless of whether he ended up winning or losing, atthe very least, his courage had caused quite a few people to hold him in highesteem. The matter of humiliation would not be further mentioned. Regardless,Lin Dong was still a new member of the Desolate Hall. Losing to a seniordisciple like Tong Chuan would not be considered as humiliating.

At an area that was quite far from the Pill River, two shadows were floatingin the air, with their gazes aimed towards the Pill River. One of them was thevice head of the Desolate Hall Wu Dao, while the other one was a old mandressed in white, with a head full of white hair, making him appearing quitesenile. However the occasional glow that passed by swiftly indicated that hewas a senior of uncommon background.

This old man dressed in white was none other than the present head of theDesolate Hall, Chen Zhen.

“Heh, this brat sure has a unique way of doing things…”Wu Dao said whilegrinning and staring at the Pill River platform from far away.

“Seems like you truly hold Lin Dong in high regard…”said the old man dressedin white softly before giving a faint smile.

His talent coupled with his disposition would make him one of the top picksand a very good seedling. If he is groomed properly, I feel that he would beable to become the most outstanding person within the younger generationmembers of Desolate Hall.”

Wu Dao gently caressed his beard, before contemplating for awhile and said:Actually, even if he was compared to those monstrous talents of the Sky Hall,he might not fall in a disadvantageous position.”

“There aren’t many youngsters that could make you utter such words…”

Desolate Hall master Chen Zhen gave a laugh while he stared far into thedistance, before nodding his head and said: “ There are quite a few secretswithin that brat’s body, however that does not matter to us. The current him isalready the disciple of our Dao Sect. As long as he does not do anything thatwould bring harm to the sect, he would forever be a disciple of our Dao Sect.”

“Who do you think would have a greater chance of victory between them?” ChenZhen asked as he looked towards Wu Dao.

“Tong Chuan will likely suffer.”

Wu Dao grinned as he replied. Thinking back, in the Ancient Battlefield, evenCao Yu was forced into a sorry state by Lin Dong. If one tried to judge LinDong’s prowess from his appearance alone, one would be truly mistaken.

“Oh?”

Chen Zhen raised his eyebrows before looking at the platform with gusto andsaid with a faint voice: “I want to see just how outstanding is that littlefellow, that you hold in high regard.”

“You are definitely courageous.”

Tong Chuan stared at the skinny looking youth in front of him, his eyesnarrowing and flames of anger could be faintly seen within them. Thinking aboutit, this was the first time that he had be treated so haughtily by a newdisciple. As such,he felt no need to be polite and took a step forward, beforehis wild Yuan power erupted just like a thunderstorm. This level of fluctuationwas a level stronger than the Tianyuan Dynasty Qin Tian.

“On the account that you are my junior, I’ll not bully you. After ten rounds,if you have not lost, I, Tong Chuan will not say say a single word on thematter of the Pill River Head Immersion. Do you dare to accept this challenge?”

Tong Chuan low and deep voice, carried by his vigourous Yuan Power resoundedacross the platform akin to the rumbling of thunder.

“Senior please carry on, I am afraid there might not be a need for 10 rounds!”

Lin Dong’s body faintly trembled as Yuan Power within his body started tosurge. Although it was not a fearsome as that of Tong Chuan, it immediatelydispelled the pressure that was being emanated by Tong Chuan.

“Having courage is a good thing. However, one must know when not to go toofar! Since you are that haughty, alright then, let me test out what ability doyou, the champion of the Hundred Empire War have!”

Tong Chuan gave a cold snort, as the flames of anger in his eyes grew larger,he felt that if this new disciple was not taken care off today, there would beno place for him in the future!

“Boom!”

Tong Chuan gripped his large hand, before a radiant golden light erupted fromhis body and directly transformed into a large golden blade. A frightening andastonishing fluctuation was being emitted by that large blade.

“Bang Bang!”

Tong Chuan took a step forwards, as the large golden blade in his hand gave asudden tremble. Instantly, ten blade rays exploded out, which caused even theair to be sliced apart, creating incisive howling noises that reverberatedsharply.

Facing Tong Chuan’s attack, Lin Dong merely extended his palms and with agrasp, green light seemingly erupted from his palms and directly morphed in agreen coloured scale shield.

Ting Ting!

The blade slashes sliced heavily on the green coloured scale shield. However,it only caused some sparks and did not achieve any noticeable results.

“Ke!”

After easily blocking Tong Chuan’s probing attack, Lin Dong did not considerthe need of continuing such useless probing. After experiencing bout after boutof vicious battles in the Ancient Battlefield, he did not enjoy these softprobing attacks. Immediately, his body rushed forward explosively. As hegripped his palm, a black iron seal appeared within his palms.

“Boom!”

With the appearance of the black iron symbol it caused violent winds to stirup, before turning into a vast and enormous shadow that viciously pressed downon Tong Chuan, crushing him beneath it.

“Heavenly Soul Treasure??”

Tong Chuan was startled by the sudden appearance of the black metal symbol,causing a serious glow to flash past his eyes, before swiftly retreating, whilehis hands moved lighting fast to break the symbol.

“Demonic Desolation Fist!”

When the seal started to fluctuate, Tong Chuan sent a fist rumbling forward.Dreadful Yuan Power started to condense on his fist, before finally emitting aDesolate Aura akin to a great desolation and viciously smashed against theblack iron symbol that was oppressing him.

Bang!

A loud and clear sound resounded out as the black iron symbol was literallysmashed by Tong Chuan’s fist, before a frightening amount of power started toradiate outwards, causing even the air to start twisting. After seeing thisscene, it caused Liu Bai and the rest’s facial expressions to change. It seemslike he was indeed a worthy of being a direct disciple of Desolate Hall.Infact, the person in front of them was likely more powerful than Qin Tian…

“Although you have a Heavenly Soul Treasure, don’t assume that it is somethingthat you can rely on!” shouted Tong Chuan as he dashed forward explosively. Hisarm suddenly trembled and unleashed the same vicious fist as before. However,this time around, the howling noise blotted out the whole sky. This grade ofboundless eruption of power had everyone change their countenance.

Facing the incoming fist shade whose howling filled the skies, Lin Dong didnot retreat and instead advanced forward. With a movement of his body, helanded on top of the black iron symbol that was flying upside down. Afterstabilizing himself, with a single thought, vigorous Yuan Power, Mental Energyand Devouring Force rapidly entered the archaic formation within his body.

“Rumble Rumble Rumble!”

Following the unison of the three different energies within the archaicformation, the Yuan Power that was gushing out of Lin Dong turned into amysterious greyish black colour. It faintly emitted the strength ofdestruction, which was several times stronger than his previous Yuan Power.

“That light”

On the platform, there were numerous Desolate Hall disciples who were watchingthis scene. Upon seeing that light, their vision all hardened as theysimultaneously discovered the sudden birth of a fearsome and mysterious energywithin Lin Dong’s body.

When the three sources of energy fused together, Lin Dong’s power roseinstantly. His aura was not weaker than the Six Yuan Nirvana Stage of TongChuan!

“Dragon Gate!”

Lin Dong stomped his feet, causing the boundless greyish black air to directlyintegrate with the black iron symbol with lighting fast speed. At the sametime, the black coloured dragon spirit, which was residing in the iron symbol,opened its dragon eyes, causing a sinister aura to rapidly fill the surroundingair.

As more and more greyish black energy integrated with the iron symbol, thedragon spirit took to the skies, as a vigorous strength started to emanate fromthe ice cold looking black dragon scales that fully covered its humongous body.

“He actually summoned the dragon spirit.”

When the humongous dragon spirit appeared, there were many surprised shriekscoming from the platform, as they were all astonished by Lin Dong’s move.

Roar!

The dragon spirit faced the heavens and roared, instantaneously showing offits anger , while a fearsome amount of energy formed a humongous arcing shield,causing cracks and fractures to appear on the platform below.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

The large desolation fist afterimage filled the air with vicious fist winds asit directly landed on the body of the dragon spirit and exploded outwards.However it was unable to halt the momentum of the dragon spirit.

With the unison of the three energies within his body and coupled with themight of a Heavenly Soul Treasure, Lin Dong’s current strength could becompared favourably to a Six Yuan Nirvana stage expert. Hence, he was obviouslynot weaker compared to Tong Chuan.

It was at this moment that Tong Chuan finally realised. Immediately, hisfacial expression turned exceptionally serious. He tried his best to restrainthe slight fluttering of his heart by taking a deep breath. He slowly raisedthe golden large blade in his hands, however there was a faint pale white tingepresent on his face.

Ring!

In contrast to the paleness on his face, the golden large blade in his handsstarted to violently tremble. The golden light was mysteriously withdrawn andon the golden light, appeared faint and subtle cracks. From afar, it lookedlike a vast piece of parched land, as a Desolate Aura started to emanate.

“This light,”

After seeing the light, the expression on those Desolate Hall disciples’ faceschanged, as they could recognize the martial art that Tong Chuan was executing.

One roar after another started to resound from the platform as Tong Chuansuddenly raised his head.Promptly, his hand seemingly transformed into an earthdesolating blade. As he suddenly sliced down, an icy cold sound, which carriedthe air of desolation started to spread from his mouth.

“Desolation Blade!”
