Chapter 484: Nine Waves
Chen Qing's calm yet forceful counterattack made quite a few eyes brighten, but then they all shook their heads secretly.
Marquis Zhenbei's expression was somber as still water. He slowly shook his head and said in a low voice to a royal family member beside him whose face showed excitement, "That Chen Qing can withstand the momentum pressure is already commendable, but look at that Shang Yuming. Does he show even half a sign of strain? He's completely at ease, clearly still operating with room to spare."
His voice wasn't loud, but it caused the expressions of several nearby nobles to darken again.
Where the Martial Academy disciples gathered, the previous deathly silence was replaced by a wave of suppressed commotion.
"Peak Master Chen... seems to have withstood it?"
Someone murmured, their tone full of uncertainty.
"Withstood it for a moment, that's all. Didn't you hear what the instructors said privately? That Shang Yuming hasn't even truly exerted his strength!"
In most people's hearts, the scales of victory had long ago tilted heavily to one side.
After consecutive victories and his current unfathomable display, Shang Yuming had already taken deep root in people's hearts, impossible to shake.
