Chapter 7;

However the grade alone wouldn't raise his cultivation so much unless he had been in retreat much longer than he thought, to him it only felt like a few hours however time passed much after during cultivation, and he couldn't know how much time had passed in the outside world.

As he was still contemplating this there was movement behind him as the door to the room suddenly opened and in came Lord Lei Bing and on his heels was his son and Chen Xin's master Lei Jing, as he saw them the seal trembled and Chen Xin instantly bowed his head as he greeted the two of them.

They seemed pleased to see him awake and Lei Jing rushed forward asking Chen Xin what had happened to him. Chen Xin describes the scene he saw when he looked at the golden engravings and then he goes on to reveal that after understanding this image he was suddenly thrust out of the engravings and his soul went into deep meditation to comprehend what he had seen, he then says that once he had completely understood the picture he suddenly woke up to find he was in a cocoon and his sea dragon pillar had evolved.

Also, his affinity seemed to have evolved into a high-grade affinity and his domain obtained a second layer, he tells them that he doesn't know how much time has passed but when he woke up he found that he had entered the fifth step of the planet level. He had left out the part about Ha Long which was the benefit of having the seal blocked otherwise he would have no choice but to reveal everything.

However what he had revealed was already so shocking, Lei Jing then said that Chen Xin was a monster, he said that he had been through hell in the past year with endless missions in the wilderness and training with his father to raise his cultivation to the sixth step of planet level but all Chen Xin had to do was take a nap and he woke up with the fifth step.

Lsi Bing simply told Lei Jing to stop whining, he reveals that he can feel that Chen Xin's dragon bloodline has received a second awakening and fully stepped into the middle-grade dragon bloodline, this may have something to do with the gold origin law that triggered his comprehension and awakened his latent power.

He says that although Chen Xin was considered a dragon hybrid before it was simply because they didn't fully understand what a dragon hybrid I supposed to be, back then Chen Xin had a dragon bloodline and it resided in his body however he hadn't fused the two into one, even when the dragon bloodline entered the middle grade there was no major benefit to his body because he was a human body with a dragon bloodline, in essence he was two beings in one.

However, this meditation seemed to use the gold origin law as a catalyst to fuse his human body with his dragon bloodline, at this point the dragon and the human are one and hence he is the true dragon-human hybrid. it seemed that his dragon bloodline was extremely pure otherwise it wouldn't have summoned a connection to the water origin laws to fuse with his weapon and his domain, at this moment his domain had been integrated with a slight portion of the water origin laws and so has his body.

Upon hearing this, not only Chen Xin, but Hai Long inside was surprised as well, this Lei Bing was extremely intuitive, they would have to be careful around him in the future, hearing what he said Lai Jing says that Chen Xin is just too lucky, he says that they should have a fight to see just how strong Chen Xin has become.

Chen Xin says that he doesn't think it is a good idea as he wouldn't want to accidentally injure his master, Lei Bing says that there is no need to worry, since Lei Jing has requested for this challenge he will have to take full responsibility of the outcome and Chen Xin will have no worries whatsoever. besides he too wants to see just how strong Chen Xin had become.

Chen Xin thinks about it for a moment and then requests that the Lord permit him not to utilize the Sea Dragon pillar, Lei Bing thinks about it slightly. from Chen Xin's words, he could tell that this kid seemed to be so sure of his current strength even after knowing that Lei Jing had entered the sixth step which meant his spirit energy was at the eighth step of the planet level.

He realized that perhaps he should take the kid's caution seriously after all Lei Jing was still his son he wouldn't want his son to be critically injured if this could be avoided. Perhaps even if Chen Xin had overestimated his strength and he gets injured with his bloodline fused with his body his recovery abilities are second to none on the entire Lei Shi star.

At that moment he says that the request has been granted, hearing this, Lei Jing says that he too will not utilize the nine-stage thunderblade method except Chen Xin instantly says that he insists that Lei Jing must use the full extent of the thunderblade method at his disposal.

At this statement even Lei Bing is surprised, one must know that Lei Jing has reached the sixth step of the Thunderblade, this power would raise his physical attacking power to the eighth level which is the same step his spirit power had reached, what exactly as Chen Xin relying on to say this, he really wanted to know.

Lei Bing tells Lei Jing to go all out from the start and take this fight seriously, with this he leads them to the outer courtyard, there were still people training from here at the time, and as the three arrived, everyone turned to bow towards the family head and the young master.

People were shocked to see Chen Xin appear this time as he was last seen over a year ago in the wilderness battlefield where he broke through the planet level, since then he has been missing and all the young master revealed was that Chen Xin was in retreat to stabilize his realm, that was a year ago and he hadn't been heard from since.

Meanwhile, in this time the young master has been making a name for himself, he was now one of the strongest planet-level warriors on Lei Shi Star, although he was just at the sixth step, eighth-step warriors were no longer his opponents and even Ninth step warriors needed to exert their full strength before they could defeat him.

he had broadly stepped into his identity and used his strength to solidify his authority in the family. However in terms of the strong, he was still slightly lacking one must know that he was just fourteen years old at the moment, he wasn't even an adult yet and the family competition was still over eight years away.

By then who knows just how high his realm will have reached, perhaps he will be close to the universe level judging by the rate at which he was growing at the moment. jumping five steps in one year could be described as monstrous cultivation, and now the once unparalleled genius Chen Xin seemed to have been surpassed already.

Lei Bing told them to clear the arena for a duel between Lei Jing and Chen Xin, hearing this, people were shocked, Lei Jing was almost unbeatable within the planet level and now he was going to fight with Chen Xin whose last recorded rank was the entry to planet level, even if he had grown stronger in his retreat, without a battle to stimulate his potential the highest he will be at will be the second step of the planet level and he is going up against a Lei Jing that cannot be defeated by eighth step cultivators, 

Did this father and son plan to murder him in the form of a duel, or was this also a punishment for neglecting his master for so long while he was in retreat, people couldn't come up with a proper explanation for why the nigh-invincible young master was fighting with his servant at this moment however they didn't delay to fulfil the family head's commands.

in a few minutes, the stage was prepared and two people stood at opposite ends of the arena. suddenly light flashed as Lei Bing released a weapon to Chen Xin, as he released the weapon, he said that since Chen Xin couldn't use his sea dragon pillar he would temporarily loan him another weapon for this duel alone.

the weapon appeared in the arena and it was a sleek black rod with a golden cap at one end and a spearhead at the other, this was a level 3 genetic weapon called the Abyss splitting halberd. Chen Xin took up the weapon and thanked the family head, Lei Bing then added that should Chen Xin emerge successfully he would win the halberd as a reward however if he failed he would lose the halberd to Lei Jing.

people were surprised by his statement, did Chen Xin even stand a chance? Wasn't this an excuse to grant his son another high-level weapon? One must know that although the Abyss splitting halberd was just a level 3 genetic weapon at the moment, it had the possibility of evolving with the highest limit being an immortal grade weapon or what cultivators called a heavenly treasure.

Lei Jing already possessed a treasure sabre called the Thousand Lights silver moon blade and they had seen just how proficient he was with it, now if you add a second treasure weapon wouldn't he become a moving treasury? but of course, they couldn't voice their grievances, this was because 90 percent of all the treasures in the clan were actually provided by the family head alone.

other cultivators only contributed 10 percent so he had the right to distribute these treasures as he chose unless the person that contributed a certain treasure wished to bestow it to someone else, then that person would take priority, but this halberd was obtained by the family head so no one could say anything this time.

However as they were thinking this, Chen Xin on the other hand had another feeling, he knew that his primary weapon had become too powerful and would attract too much attention if used continuously in the open so this halberd would become his temporary main weapon with the Sea dragon pillar coming out in dire situations.

So although they hadnt fought yet, deep down he had already accepted the power gift of the halberd, he faced Lei Jing and he could see the desire in his eyes, clearly he too wanted this halberd it could very possibly be that he had requested for it from his father and his father was simply looking for the right way to give it to him.

This also meant that the family head was getting on Lei Jing to win this duel which means that Lei Jing was not to be underestimated, at that time Lei Jing summoned his Cloud contact armor and suddnely he ckverd in aquamarine,

The armor had evolved along with him and had now risen to the fifth step of Star level, he had recahed a synch with his armor since he used the drgaon blood to evolve it into a dragon scaled cloud contact vine, so when he broke through in the future the vine would break through along with him until they recahed the immortal realm.

That breakthrough wasn't as easy as one would expect, many warriors got stuck at the threshold unable to take that final step into immortality, as the armor appeared illusory dragom scales were seen emerging on its surface.

Across from him Lei Jing also equipped his Star eating armor and the silver black metal sparkled with thunder power, however before they could fight the voice of the family elder came down prohibiting them from using their armor, people inthe stands were surprised by this but still no one questioned this.

Chem Xin then turned to the family head and said that it's fine for him not to have armor but it's not beneficial for Lei Jing not to have his armor on, the family head then says that eliminating armor is for Chen Xin's sake, h reveals that Lei Jing's Star eating vine is at the pinnacle fo star level and should break through to universe level soon enough.

Secondly his armor had taken in numerous treasures over the past year that its quality has evolved, at present its attavking capability is no less than an ordinary universe level warrior, therefore regardless of how good Chen Xin is he cannot rival a universe level warrior at this time.

Chen Xin takes his worry back instantly, he knew his current trump cards and maybe if he utilized them all who heartedly he could stand against a universe level warrior but there was no need to reveal everything ina simple duel so he accepted the condition.

He let his armor vanish within his body as he faced Lei Jing with his body and halberd alone, th Family head tells them to begin and in that very moment Lei Jing steps on the dark cloud shuttle, black substance climbs his legs until it secured him to the board like boots.

He rose to the skies and summoned his sabre weapon, with a thought 18 independent razor thin blades detached from the sabre and revolved around him, he had reshed the point where he could freely control 18 objects with his mind, this incredible.

As this was happening Chen Xin didn't move an inch, he simply stood there and watched as Lei Jing got ready to attack, the next moment Lei Jing summoned the sixth stage thunder body of the Nine stage thunder blade method.the aura of lightning around the arena sudenely thickened as even the air turned electric lightning patterns etched themselves cross Lei Jing's body as the aura coming off of his body skyrocketed.

As this aura reached Chen Xin evenhis blood trembled slightly clearly this aura posed a threat to him, the lightning aura was dangerous as it sought to entervhis body and paralyze him, in return Chen Xin released his dragon body transformation.

This was one of the newly awakened abilities of his dragon bloodline, as he summoned the dragon body, Aquamarine scales started appearing on his skin one after the other and as they appeared, each scale seemed to contain water waves, behind Chen Xin a light and shadow of an Azure dragon appeared,

This drgaon had grown to 15 meters tall and it released an oppressive aura in the arena, Lei Jing's thunder energy was banished from the arena as the air suddenly turned moist and a lingering cold filled the atmosphere, one must know that Chen Xin hadn't even used his domain yet.

This was simply his dragon aura displaying its dominance by transforming the thunder energy into water energy, this was the effect of inegating with the laws, all his actions carried a wisp of law power which suppressed all that didnt have any law comprehension.

The black gold Halberd was sudeenly covered by a faint layer of Azure light, Chen Xin's body sudenely rose to two meters tall, his hair elongated and his eyes turned into blue-green drgaon eyes, a massive oppressive aura was emitted from his body forcing the arena shields to deploy just to contain it.

One must know that when Lei Jing released his aura the shields werent even triggered but a mere aura from Chen Xin triggered the shields, seeing this Lei Jing's face changed and without hesitation he summoned his strengthening technique taught by his father the Body of thunder,

Sudenely his eyes turned silver blue crackling with lightning and the previous patterns on his body filled with lightning, the 18 blades on the air sudenely got electrolized as they released a slight vibration, seeing this Chen Xin simply smiled but he didnt use another ability, the condensation in the air as dispelled by the lightning.

However what was shocking was that none got the upper hand, they simply dissolved eachother, at that moment Chen Xin raised his hand as he released the first move of the Thousand lights silver moon blade, Myriad swords formation.

With the eighteen blades as the lead, a sword formation appeared around each blade and this formation suddenly gathered alot of lightning energy and as they were triggered phantom blades made of light ning energy were emitted from the eighteen sword formations endlessly while the formations continuously gathered lightning energy. To be turned into thunder blades.

This was one of Lei Jing's killer moves and originally he hadnt planned on using it right away however the oppression from the Azure drgaon body made him change his mind. As the phantoms appeared the entire arena seemed to be covered by phantom blades.

However to everyone's astonishment Chen Xin still didnt move, he simply swung his halberd in a circle however wherever the halberd passes it left a train of Azure energy behind, this was one of the chief defensive abilities of the Azure drgaon named the flowing sea,

Once triggered it formed a circular water dome made of high speed water energy that carried any attack that came into contact with it breaking it down in the water ring, this Flowing sea however contained the conception of the water laws so it also carried the water ability to dissolve.

As the thunder blades came into contact with the flowing sea they were disolves into nothing within the flowing water waves, this scene shocked everyone including Lei Bing, he had heard of the skills of the dragon clan but he had never seen them up close, this defence was almost impenetrable,

Unless the attack far surpassed Chen Xin's limits nothing was getting through that water dome, Lei Jing in the air was even more shocked, he had expected Chen Xin to attack him but little did he know this guy was planning a defensive game.

He needed to break this formation and he had just the thing, although he hadn't fully mastered this move, the little comprehension he had of it was enough to severely injure Ninth step Planet level warriors and break all their defenses.

This was the second move of the Thousand Lights silver moon blade, the electric eel formation, however triggering it's full power required the use of a thunder domain which he didn't have yet, even then its penetrative power was unrivaled at this level.
