Chapter 175: Battle
After Li Qiye left, Wang Yufan smiled and murmured, "This fellow is still too young. But for Li Meng’er and Chang Heng’s battle, perhaps I should go take a look. If nothing unexpected happens, Chang Heng will likely suffer a crushing defeat."
With that, Wang Yufan took a step and vanished from his spot.
The next moment, at the Jidao Imperial Court’s Training Ground, Wang Yufan stood in the void, looking at the crowded training ground below, and let out a series of ’tsk tsk tsk’ sounds.
The scene was quite lively. Although some people hadn’t gone yet, there were already enough people present.
Wang Yufan looked over and saw Li Meng’er and Chang Heng standing in the middle of the training ground, confronting each other.
Li Meng’er spoke, "I’ll say it one last time: I hope you’ll forfeit this match. You are not my opponent."
Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Chang Heng put his hands on his hips and said, "Hmph, I can feel that your strength has improved, but I can’t sense your specific realm. Now, you can tell me what realm you are in. As for wanting me to give up, don’t even think about it. With so many people gathered here, I must expose your so-called Rakshasa Body identity.
Let everyone know that the so-called Rakshasa Body is no different from us, and might even be weaker."
Hearing this, a group of Jidao Imperial Court disciples who supported Chang Heng shouted loudly,
"The First Prince is right! I don’t believe this Saintess has the so-called Rakshasa Body. Just a few days ago, she was only in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Even if she has improved now, she shouldn’t have reached the Earth Immortal Realm. Our First Prince is already in the early Earth Immortal Realm, which is quite astounding even among the younger generation in this Dao Realm."
Hearing the words from the crowd, Chang Heng’s face flushed with pleasure from the flattery. However, the other princes felt that the words just spoken were too exaggerated. They had heard that Ye Lingtian of the Tiandao Imperial Court had an adopted son, who was exceptionally talented and seemed to have reached the Celestial Immortal Realm before the age of 18.
This was only known by a very small number of people. It seemed that the Lord of the Tiandao Imperial Court, Ye Lingtian, was preparing something and did not want his adopted son’s identity to be revealed. To this day, apart from Ye Lingtian, no one else knew the adopted son’s name.
"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down. I’ve taken note of your support for me, Chang. After I defeat this so-called Rakshasa Body, we can discuss it properly."
Chang Heng said somewhat excitedly. As for the other princes, Chang Heng merely glanced at them casually. He hadn’t forgotten that if Li Meng’er hadn’t appeared unexpectedly, those princes would have been his competitors.
Chang Heng turned his head to Li Meng’er and said, "Come on, let me see how strong you truly are now. Do you really not even put my early Earth Immortal Realm cultivation in your eyes? Don’t blame me for bullying you; I can let you have three moves."
Hearing Chang Heng speak like this, Li Meng’er was stunned. She had never encountered such a request before. If she didn’t satisfy it, it would feel like she was letting down Chang Heng’s painstaking efforts.
Chang Heng looked at Li Meng’er’s strange expression through her mask, feeling like he was casting pearls before swine. Normally, shouldn’t she thank him for his generosity upon hearing him say such a thing?
Just after he finished speaking, some of his supporters were also constantly shouting,
"First Prince is mighty. First Prince is mighty."
Chang Heng looked at Li Meng’er’s reaction, then said, "What’s with that expression? Do you think three moves aren’t enough? Then I’ll let you have five moves, how about that?"
Listening to Chang Heng’s arrogant words, even Wang Yufan in the void almost laughed out loud.
He hadn’t expected Chang Heng’s son to be of such character. Just a while ago, he thought this so-called First Prince was decent, so how did his demeanor change so drastically after he came out of this restricted area?
Li Meng’er didn’t want to listen to Chang Heng’s nonsense anymore; her ears were practically calloused from listening for so long.
The next moment, a black scythe appeared in her hands, but it was immediately put away. Everyone was stunned by Li Meng’er’s strange action.
Actually, Li Meng’er originally intended to summon her weapon, but then she thought that she was now at least in the Celestial Immortal Realm. In this first battle, if she couldn’t control her strength and accidentally injured or killed the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court’s eldest son, it would certainly cause bad blood.
Then, she sent a palm strike towards Chang Heng’s direction. The air was instantly compressed to the extreme, producing a roaring explosion.
At that instant, Chang Heng realized something was wrong, because the punch Li Meng’er threw did not seem to be the power of a Human Immortal, nor the power of a Earth Immortal Realm cultivator; it was the power of a Celestial Immortal!
Chang Heng didn’t have time to think further and immediately used an advanced movement technique to escape Li Meng’er’s attack range.
With a loud boom, the entire training ground began to shake.
The entire training ground was protected by a formation, which was a formation personally reinforced by the God King Changtian later on.
Li Meng’er’s punch just now made everyone outside the field feel the tremor.
"I... holy cow, did you see that? It seems the First Prince fled just now? He didn’t take that punch."
"You idiot, you don’t need to tell us, we all saw it already."
"However, even the Earth Immortal Realm First Prince had to flee from that punch just now. Could it be that the Saintess personally bestowed by the God Emperor has already reached above the early Earth Immortal Realm?"
"That’s impossible, isn’t it? Wasn’t she said to be in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm just a few days ago? How could she have advanced so quickly?"
"You’re all ignorant. I heard that after this woman became a Saintess, our Imperial Lord personally took her to a restricted area of our Jidao Imperial Court. I heard there’s a Rakshasa Body inheritance there. I believe this Saintess must have obtained that restricted area’s inheritance, which is why she possesses such terrifying power."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
"If you say so, then the inheritance in that restricted area is too terrifying. Why wouldn’t they let our own people receive the inheritance, but instead let an outsider of unknown origin receive it?"
"You’re truly foolish, I’m almost looking down on you. This must be because that restricted area is difficult to enter, right? I think only that woman can enter the restricted area, or perhaps the inheritance within this restricted area was prepared specifically for the Rakshasa Body."
"Hmm, your guess is absolutely correct. That’s exactly how it is."
Everyone continued to discuss, then their eyes all turned towards Li Meng’er, who was wearing a mask.
