Chapter 2239: Thousand Leaf Lotus

When he heard Gongzheng Xin’s order-like tone, a cold light immediately flashed through Wen Cheng’s eyes. However, it happened to be the time when the Radiant Saint Hall would be gaining a new Chosen Saint, and the Chosen Saint would be selected from the five nine star geniuses. As such, he dared not offend one at a time like this.

As a result, even though Gongzheng Xin’s condescending attitude angered Wen Cheng, he dared not show any of it. Instead, he forced out a smile and clasped his fist, “Since senior Gongzheng Xin has spoken, I, Wen Cheng, will enter the ring and teach this ignorant Chang Yang a lesson.” With that, Wen Cheng leapt into the ring reluctantly.

Jian Chen’s gaze was venomous. He stared at Wen Cheng with a forced smile, “Wen Cheng, you’re a Radiant Saint Master with a three-colored soulcore, and I heard from my junior sister that you’ve touched on the Laws of the Hallowed. Don’t lose to me.”

“Hmph, you think I can lose to you?” Wen Cheng snorted coldly. He dared not be careless against this person who had easily defeated Lian Yan. He took the initiative and formed seals with both hands. Radiant Saint Force surged from his body, condensing into a pillar of white light that shot towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen also became cautious. He could not expose his identity as a fighter in the Radiant Saint Hall, so he could only display a level of cultivation akin to a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore. He could not afford any carelessness at all against Wen Cheng who was two cultivation levels ahead of him.

The Radiant Wings appeared on Jian Chen’s back once again. As a blur, he dodged Wen Cheng’s attack by a hair’s breadth and approached the latter.

“You want to deal with me in the same way you dealt with Lian Yan? You’re far too naive. I’ll show you the power of the three-colored soulcore,” Wen Cheng snorted coldly. Milky-white light flickered around him and condensed into a huge, white shield that covered him completely.

He had no need to fear Jian Chen at all as long as he stood behind the shield.

Jian Chen dodged the constant attacks from Wen Cheng with the Radiant Wings. Several Radiant Swords shot out from him, striking Wen Cheng’s shield.

However, Jian Chen’s Radiant Swords were only enough to cause the shield to shake a few times. They were unable to destroy it.

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as he thought, “Wen Cheng really does have a three-colored soulcore after all. All he needs to do is defend, and I’ll struggle to get through it. The power I possessed with a one-colored soulcore is indeed a little too weak.”

“However, I can get through the shield with a single attack if I use the Laws of the Hallowed. But comprehending the Laws of the Hallowed with just a one-colored soulcore is a little too shocking. Although I have senior Mo Tianyun’s mask as a cover, and I don’t have to worry about being exposed by the experts of the Radiant Saint Hall, standing out too much is not good either. As a result, I definitely can’t use the Laws of the Hallowed.”

“Radiant Rain!” At this moment, Wen Cheng called out. A thick layer of light shone around him as white specks of light the size of rain condensed around him. They packed the space densely before shooting out in all directions sharply like rain, reaching every inch of the ring.

No matter how fast Jian Chen was, he would not be able to dodge a barrage like that. However, he did not become flustered at all. Three Radiant Sword revolved around him like a formation, dispersing the Radiant Rain that flew towards him.

Every droplet of Radiant Rain possessed astonishing power. Jian Chen’s Radiant Swords shattered very soon, but he could always use his superior control over Radiant Artes to condense new Radiant Swords as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Jian Chen extended a finger, and the three Radiant Swords around him immediately formed a line before shooting through the cracks between the Radiant Rain and striking the white shield around Wen Cheng firmly as streaks of white light.

Boom!

With that, Wen Cheng’s shield shook heavily, and it rapidly dimmed. The energy within the shield was drained away quickly.

Wen Cheng’s face changed. Immediately, he weakened his control over the Radiant Rain and did his best to stabilise his shield.

However, at this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes shone brightly and sharply. In the next moment, a portion of the Radiant Rain that shot towards him actually came to a forceful halt. They no longer attacked Jian Chen. Instead, they shot back as white light and headed towards Wen Cheng.

Jian Chen had forcefully taken control over that portion of Radiant Rain.

“Unbelievable. This is truly unbelievable. A Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore has actually taken over control of a Radiant Arte from a three-colored soulcore Radiant Saint Master. This is just unbelievable,” the lord of Sky Gazing Peak could not help but sigh in amazement.

“Chang Yang’s control over Radiant Saint Force is even more terrifying than I imagined it to be,” Xin Bin said emotionlessly.

Gongzheng Xin nodded in agreement, “Indeed. However, fortunately, he only has a one-colored soulcore, and he’s not a Hallowed Saint Master. Otherwise, we would have another worthy opponent in the competition for Chosen Saint.”

“Only nine star geniuses have the right to take part. He’s only a one star genius,” said Xin Bin.

The peak lord of the Sky Gazing Peak shook his head at that, “He’s definitely not as simple as a one star genius.”

“Yeah. Although I don’t know whether he’s a nine star genius, he’s definitely not just a one star genius. Unfortunately for him, he has missed the appropriate time, and he’s not fated to compete for the position of Chosen Saint,” said Gongzheng Xin. Then he looked at the peak lord of Sky Gazing Peak and said, “Peak lord, who do you think will emerge victorious?”

“It’s difficult to say. I still can’t see the conclusion right now,” the peak lord said sternly.

Gongzheng Xin smiled mysteriously, “If that’s the case, why don’t we have bet with the peak lord? Let’s bet who will be victorious in the end.”

The peak lord smiled bitterly, “It looks like you’re still fixated on my Thousand Leaf Lotus. Whatever, if I keep the Thousand Leaf Lotus, the other three nine star geniuses will probably come looking for it as well. I might as well get rid of it sooner rather than later then, as that will save me from the trouble to come. Gongzheng Xin, who do you think will win out of the two of them?”

“I’m betting on Wen Cheng with his three-colored soulcore. I don’t believe this person called Chang Yang can defeat Wen Cheng with his one-colored soulcore.” Gongzheng Xin looked at Wen Cheng and continued, “If I win the bet, the peak lord’s Thousand Leaf Lotus will belong to me. If I lose, I’ll give a droplet of soulfluid to the peak lord.”

“I want the Thousand Leaf Lotus as well. Count me in on the bet. I’ll bet that it’ll end up as a stalemate. If I win the bet, the Thousand Leaf Lotus will belong to me. Gongzheng Xin, peak lord, you don’t have any objections, right?” The other nine star genius, Xin Bin, added.

Gongzheng Xin and he had come for the peak lord’s Thousand Leaf Lotus, so they naturally would not be willing to miss this opportunity.

“It looks like I can only bet that Chang Yang will be victorious,” the peak lord smiled helplessly.

This was all because the two nine star geniuses did not have high hopes towards Chang Yang. They completely understood the difference between a three-colored soulcore and a two-colored soulcore. Chang Yang could defeat Radiant Saint Masters with two-colored soulcores, but he definitely could not defeat Radiant Saint Masters with three-colored soulcores. Being able to achieve a stalemate would already be extremely impressive.

Moreover, Wen Cheng had already touched on the basics of the Laws of the Hallowed. Even though he was not a Hallowed Saint Master, he would be quite a lot more powerful than regular Radiant Saint Masters with three-colored soulcores.
