Chapter 256: Invincible Chen Chu Slays Through The Battlefield Within A Day (II)
The Longshan students were stunned, feeling that the red letters were particularly glaring, while students from other schools were in shock.
"Damn, that guy’s already started his challenge and has swept through two schools. None of the Fifth Heavenly Realm students could take him on!"
"Seriously? Isn't his cultivation at the middle stage of the Fifth Realm? I remember both Nantian and Longshan have geniuses in the late stage or even at the peak of the Fifth."
"Monster!"
"Freak..."
While the entire southern battlefield was buzzing, ten minutes later, the red letters on the large screen changed again.
"Shanze Martial Arts High School, defeated. No one of the same rank could withstand a single move from Chen Chu. The roars of dragons and elephants sounded, his aura overwhelming."
Gasp!
Many watching the large screen gasped.
"He's already swept through another school so quickly? Does his true power have no limit?"
"Of course, he defeats his opponents in a single move. In this situation, trying to wear him out is meaningless.
"Given his middle stage Fifth Heavenly Realm cultivation, he can fully exert his power at least ten to twenty times, maybe more, unless multiple geniuses of the same level push him to his limits at once.

"Otherwise, after sweeping through one school, he can recover some true power on the way to the next base, which will let him keep going for a long time.
"And now it's already 4 PM. At his current speed, after sweeping through a dozen more schools, it will be dark, and he can rest overnight."
"If that's the case, no one will be able to stop him."
"Is he really going to sweep through the southern battlefield and dominate our generation?"
As the discussions continued, about twenty minutes later, the red letters on the large screen changed again.
"Longshan Martial Arts High School, defeated. No one of the same rank could withstand a single move from Chen Chu. Under his halberd, the sky and earth shook, blood light soared to the sky, and no one could oppose him."
Someone excitedly shouted, "He’s slowing down! This time took longer than the last. He’s losing steam."
"Hahaha... This guy must have used some explosive secret art earlier to sweep through everyone with one strike, maybe suppress his opponents’ spirit and prevent them from using their full strength. Now that he's slowing down, he’s probably struggling with the aftereffects of the art."
"I don't think it's that simple. Let’s wait and see, or we might end up being proven wrong."
As everyone anxiously watched the large screen, Chen Chu, who had consecutively swept through two first-rate and two second-rate martial arts high schools, became even more terrifying. The blood-red aura surrounding him created waves of pressure that shook the air and sent ripples outward. The grass and trees seemed to bow to him, as if all living things were paying homage.
Quickly navigating across mountains and valleys, he crossed over a dozen peaks and arrived at the Licheng base. There, he paused.
At the base of the mountain, people were everywhere, their expressions a mix of excitement, curiosity, anticipation, and solemnity as they watched him.
"Is that Chen Chu?"
"His dominating aura is astonishing."
"No, why does he have such a heavy scent of blood? It’s like he used some secret art to kill thousands and absorb their killing intent."
"He's so handsome."
"I wonder if Senior Gong can withstand one of his moves."
"How could he? Senior Gong is only at the middle stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm. There's no way he can survive even one move. Didn't you see that Lin Mei couldn't withstand a single attack? And she’s ranked thirty-fifth on the Achievement List."
Then, he turned and left, his steps heavy, causing the ground to shake and crack from the horrifying impact with each step.
"Phew! Is today finally over?" A Third Heavenly Realm student exhaled, wearing a bitter smile.
"This guy must be a monster. Fighting from the afternoon until now, sweeping through dozens of schools, defeating around three hundred cultivators of the same level, and still so strong."
"Let's see what happens tomorrow."
Everyone assumed Chen Chu would rest for the night, recover, and continue tomorrow. After all, no one was made of iron, and such continuous fighting took a toll on the mind and body.
Indeed, for the next half hour, no new updates came about any schools being swept through.
However, only those at the base center knew the battle was not over. On the large satellite surveillance screen, the light representing Chen Chu could be seen moving at an astonishing speed past the bases he had swept through in the afternoon.
Nantian was situated on the left side of those bases, and that was also the direction Chen Chu had swept through in the afternoon. So, after defeating the twenty-eight schools in that direction, he needed to return to reach the rest.
Suddenly, after more than half an hour, the big screen lit up again.
"Chen Chu has defeated Lingshan Martial Arts High School. No one could withstand a single move."
Instantly, all the bases were in an uproar.
"Damn, isn't that guy going to rest?"
"Does he plan to conquer the entire southern battlefield in one day?"
"Damn, we might be witnessing history today..."
Many students who were just about to go eat stopped in their tracks, turning back excitedly to look at the big screen shimmering with red light.
Sure enough, just over ten minutes later, the words on the screen changed again.
Liu Feng shouted nervously, "That's the thirty-second!"
Soon, Li Meng also exclaimed excitedly, "Thirty-third!"
"Thirty-fourth..."
In everyone’s nervous and expectant gazes, especially Xia Youhui and the others, the flickering light on the big screen was like a progress bar, indicating how far Chen Chu had gotten in his journey to sweep through the southern battlefield.
Whether it was the geniuses already defeated by Chen Chu or the ordinary students, all of them watched the shining screen nervously. The geniuses, especially, hoped more than anyone else that he could succeed. With everyone knocked out with just one move, they wouldn't appear too useless.
Late into the night, at two in the morning, the light on the big screen flashed again, and all fifty-seven bases erupted.
"Fifty-eighth, just one more left, Ah Chu, go for it!"
"Kill, kill, kill them all!"
"He's invincible, he really is going to defeat the entire southern battlefield in one day..."
Amid the excitement and shouts of countless people, dozens of figures exuding powerful auras stood on the mountain below the Chongzhou base, their expressions serious as they looked into the distance.
Among them was Zhang Tianlong, the top student of Nantian.
Soon, a foreboding aura swept in from the distance, and everyone's spirits lifted. "He's here."
That excitement quickly turned into shock, however, when Chen Chu emerged from the darkness.
Wasn't he supposed to be walking the path of invincibility? What's with that overwhelming blood-red light surrounding him? How many people did he need to kill to condense such a rich blood aura!
