Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Like Heavenly Music (Fourth Update)
A Spirit Crystal Mountain formed by a million high-grade Spirit Crystals, was indeed too shocking.
At this moment, all the splendid buildings in Soul City paled in comparison.
Even the Heavenly Soul Commerce couldn’t match it.
"Everyone, there should be no doubts now, right?"
Ling Chen smiled.
"Not at all!"
"We believe you!"
...
Many people were almost drooling.
"I accept your challenge!"
"So do I!"
...
Numerous geniuses shouted one after another,
Afraid of being outpaced by others.
Ling Chen’s cultivation seemed to be only around the third or fourth level of the World Realm.
A distinguished Divine Thought Master genius generally has Divine Soul cultivation in the mid-Emperor Realm.
Such cultivation was enough to threaten three or four-star Emperors.
In a short while, over a hundred distinguished geniuses had signed up.
"Everyone, please calm down."
Ling Chen smiled: "Let me explain the rules first."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down.
"First, my challenge candidates must be Divine Thought Masters, and they must hold either a Genius Token, a Pride Token, or a Heavenly Pride Token. Divine Thought Masters with a Genius Token need not apply."
"Second, as long as someone defeats me, this challenge will be considered over."
"Third, I’m putting out a million high-grade Spirit Crystals not just for fun, but to witness the strength of Divine Thought Master geniuses. Hence, those accepting my challenge will be required to pay a fee. Considering you are Divine Thought Masters, you can pay with Soul Gathering Pills."
"Therefore, Genius Token holders need to pay one Soul Gathering Pill, Pride Token holders need to pay ten Soul Gathering Pills, and as for Heavenly Pride Token holders, they need to pay thirty Soul Gathering Pills. One Soul Gathering Pill is worth about ten thousand high-grade Spirit Crystals. Even Heavenly Pride Token holders only need to pay three hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Crystals to potentially win a million high-grade Spirit Crystals."
"Fourth, rest assured. If you defeat me, not only will I return your Soul Gathering Pills, but I will also reward you with a million high-grade Spirit Crystals!"
"Fifth, to be fair and give everyone a chance, only Genius Token holders can participate in the first ten rounds. After those ten rounds, there will be no restrictions, and stronger Divine Thought Masters will be chosen. If there are both Genius Token and Pride Token holders willing to accept my challenge, those with the Pride Token will have priority. If there is more than one Divine Thought Master, then we will draw lots to decide."
"Of course, in the first ten rounds, if there are no Genius Token holders willing to challenge, then there will be no restrictions."
"Those are the rules, does anyone have any questions?"
Ling Chen looked at the crowd.
He didn’t believe it.
Can’t money buy Soul Gathering Pills?
Can you control the commerce and prevent all the geniuses from Soul City?
Even if it costs a million Spirit Crystals, he wanted to expose the mastermind.
He understood, such a way to deal with him, must be a strong contender from a higher Soul City level.
He himself had killed dozens of prideful and distinguished figures from the northern realms, it was normal to be unpopular.
But if they are capable, they should confront him openly.
Hiding and scheming behind the scenes, what kind of skill is that.
"Good!"
Ling Chen announced loudly: "The challenge starts now! Among the Genius Token holders, is anyone willing to accept my challenge?"
"Me!"
"I’ll go!"
"Move aside, let me!"
...
Many people rushed forward eagerly.
Ling Chen was not very strong, perhaps he could be defeated in the first round.
That’s why, everyone was so anxious.
"Good, very good! So many distinguished individuals. Then according to the rules, we will decide by drawing lots!"
Ling Chen smiled.
Liu Yu soared into the sky and loudly said: "Everyone come and draw lots!"
The crowd flocked to them, more than a hundred people.
"Number thirty-seven!"
The draw concluded quickly.
Upon hearing this, number thirty-seven flew up with a face full of excitement.
And everyone else looked on with envy.
Everyone was highly anticipating the first battle.
Hoping to gauge Ling Chen’s true strength through it.
Of course, they didn’t want Ling Chen to be defeated right from the start, as they would then lose their opportunity to challenge him.
The two ascended into the sky, standing three hundred yards apart.
For a Divine Thought Master, maintaining a certain distance from the opponent is necessary.
Because Divine Thought Masters have inferior physical strength and slower speed.
Once a Spiritual Power Practitioner closes in, they are practically defeated.
"Are you ready?"
Ling Chen asked.
"Ready!"
Contestant number thirty-seven took a deep breath.
His eyes sparkled, as if Ling Chen, standing opposite him, was not a person but a million top-grade Spirit Crystals. Defeating Ling Chen would mean claiming those Spirit Crystals for himself.
"Alright!"
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Then you announce the start."
Number thirty-seven nodded slightly.
"Begin!"
As soon as the words were spoken, number thirty-seven immediately launched a Divine Soul Attack towards Ling Chen.
Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master, Divine Soul Attack, effective range up to thousands of yards!
Three hundred yards was not considered too far.
As he launched the Divine Soul Attack, a gleam flashed on a ring he wore, and a three-inch small sword appeared.
Then, a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis infused into it, turning the small sword into a streak of light that thrust towards Ling Chen.
This is basically the typical strategy of Divine Thought Masters.
Divine Soul Attack first, followed by a Thought Soldier attack.
Usually, they wouldn’t risk close combat to engage the enemy.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was on Ling Chen.
The Divine Soul Attack was extremely fast; within half a breath, it had reached right in front of Ling Chen and directly entered his Sea of Consciousness.
Ling Chen didn’t make a move, allowing the opponent’s Divine Soul Attack to strike.
The telekinetic Divine Soul power directly targeted the minor divine soul figure of Ling Chen.
"Great Sun Imprint!"
At a thought from Ling Chen, a great sun rose in his Sea of Consciousness, intercepting and attacking the sharp cone formed by the opponent’s Divine Soul Telekinesis.
"Bang!"
The two collided.
The power of the Great Sun Imprint quickly manifested, almost instantly burning the sharp cone to nothingness.
The Great Sun Imprint, utilizing fused Divine Soul Telekinesis, was not inferior in quality to the mid stages of the Emperor Realm.
Moreover, it possessed the unique burning power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Naturally invincible.
"How about that?"
Everyone stared intensely at Ling Chen.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Protective Spiritual Power that spread over Ling Chen’s body suddenly dissipated, and he plummeted from the sky.
"He’s hit!"
Number thirty-seven was overjoyed and hurriedly urged the Thought Soldier to thrust towards Ling Chen.
"Really? That weak?"
"Damn, with such little strength he dares to challenge us, Divine Thought Masters?"
"What a waste of my energy!"
...
In stark contrast to number thirty-seven’s joy, other Divine Thought Master talents were cursing.
Ling Chen being this weak was a complete waste of their time.
Under the drive of Divine Soul Telekinesis, the Thought Soldier moved extremely fast, reaching right in front of Ling Chen within two breaths, then suddenly thrust towards Ling Chen’s chest.
If he hit Ling Chen, he would win this battle.
Number thirty-seven seemed to see a million top-grade Spirit Crystals waving at him.
"Ding!"
However, just as the Flying Sword Thought Soldier was only three inches from Ling Chen, a Red Long Sword suddenly appeared. The Flying Sword Thought Soldier struck directly against the sword body, emitting a crisp sound of metal clashing.
To the observing talents, this sound was like music from heaven.
