Chapter 199: Heavy Yuan Technique, Lin Dao

Battle Peak.

As a mountain specially developed within the Heavenly Profound Holy Land for combat trials, the Battle Peak has a total of eighteen arenas' arranged in an orderly manner from the foot of the mountain to its peak.

The higher up the arena, the better the terrain and formations. At the same time, the requirements for those participating in battles are also higher. For example, regular core disciples do not qualify to fight in the number one arena at the top of Battle Peak if they seek to resolve disputes.

At this moment, on the top of the Battle Peak, the outskirts of the square-shaped massive stone arena are already crowded with people.

Those are the core disciples of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, including deacons and other officials. As for the elder spectators, they are seated on the observation stone platforms outside the arena.

Among the numerous observation platforms, the largest one located right in front of the arena. More than ten Saint Kings and Holy Master Mo Wentian are sitting on the platform, sipping tea and awaiting Su Zhan's arrival.

Around seven of the Saint Kings, there is a young warrior standing beside each of them. They are the ones qualified to participate in the battle for the position of Holy Sons this time, and they are disciples of those Saint Kings.

Although the Heavenly Profound Holy Land has a total of twenty-three Saint Kings, nearly half of them are often absent from the Holy Land. Among the remaining Saint Kings, not all of their disciples necessarily meet the requirements. Therefore, in the end, only seven Saint King disciples are participating in this battle for the position of Holy Son.

"Senior Tang, please pardon my impertinence, but why hasn't Su Zhan arrived yet?" A prodigy beside one of the Saint Kings respectfully asked Tang Wujian with a cupped fist salute.

Upon hearing his question, the other qualified geniuses for the battle of succession also displayed displeased expressions.

"Indeed, he's just a newly admitted disciple. Even if his talent is outstanding, does he really think he's worthy of making all of us wait for him?"

"Junior Brother Su has only just started, perhaps he got lost?"

"Speaking of which, Su Junior Brother has only reached the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon. I really don't want to pick on him!"

"Shut up!"

Tang Wujian swept his gaze over those individuals and said without any politeness, "If you can't wait, then leave!"

Those prodigies immediately took a small step back in fear, not daring to speak further.

After names were exchanged and greetings were made, Holy Master Mo Wentian spoke, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's not waste any more time and get started!"

"Su Zhan is the first challenger, the initial defender of the platform. Whoever defeats him becomes the new defender and the final victor will be our Heavenly Profound Holy Land's Third Holy Son!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than these geniuses grew impatient.

Chen Luo, dressed in a black robe, was the first to step forward and addressed Su Zhan, "Junior Brother Su, I am Chen Luo, and like you, I possess a Divine Body! Moreover, I have the immensely offensive Extreme Flame Divine Body, and I'm also skilled in the way of the sword. I heard you are also a sword cultivator. Would you like to have a friendly match?"

Su Zhan glanced at Chen Luo, but before he could respond, a robust man approached, "Junior Brother Su, I'm your Senior Brother Liu Canglang. Although I'm not adept in sword arts, I excel in body refinement and martial arts. I heard that your physical strength is also formidable. You even carried a mountain in the first assessment, right? Well then, let's give it a try!"

"Chen Luo, Liu Canglang, Su Zhan's strength is somewhat greater than yours. Don't embarrass yourselves!"

With a handsome face and eerie blue eyes, a youth named Luo Bei smiled gently, "Junior Brother Su, I am Luo Bei. My talent is inferior to yours, but I possess the Innate Spirit Eye, capable of seeing through all illusions and vulnerabilities. I wish to have a battle with you!"

"Junior Brother Su, I, Wu Heng, also wish to have a duel with you!"

The six Saint King disciples were all eager to speak, fearing to miss the chance to defeat Su Zhan.

By now, Su Zhan's name had spread widely among the core disciples. Some even claimed he was a unique genius with no equal in the past or future. But with him being only at the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, they believed defeating Su Zhan wouldn't require much effort, and they wanted to seize the opportunity before others.

"Su Zhan, I'm Lin Dao, the strongest below the Saint Realm. As a genius, you should possess the pride of one. Come, let's battle!" Lin Dao walked forward, his eyes fixed on Su Zhan, and spoke with a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the other Saint King disciples felt somewhat displeased, yet no one protested. Although they believed they might not lose to Lin Dao, they had to admit his odds of victory were higher.

"Agreed." Su Zhan nodded with a simple and direct response.

"Then, I await you." Lin Dao was somewhat surprised by Su Zhan's straightforward agreement. He tapped his toe and flew several thousand meters away, landing at the edge of the arena.

"Su Zhan, Lin Dao practices a Heavy Yuan Technique, a method unique to our Heavenly Profound Holy Land. He's the only one who cultivates it," Tang Wujian looked at Su Zhan and continued, "Originally, with his talent, he could have ascended to the Saint King level, not to mention competing for the position of Holy Son. But this person is resolute beyond measure, exceedingly diligent. He chose the most difficult path, cultivating the Heavy Yuan Technique."

"After reaching the Sixth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, he started anew from the first transformation, utilizing this technique to strengthen his meridians, sanctum, and physical body. When you face him, remember one thing!"

Tang Wujian's tone grew solemn, "Under no circumstances should you engage him head-on!"Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
