Chapter 282: Duan Li vs Shen Long!

"Henggg!!!"

With a deafening bellow, Shen Long dashed forward, his tempest similar to that of an unstoppable tornado!

The floor immediately cracked with a single step of his, and he appeared right in front of Duan Li in an instant!

Shaa!!

Right after appearing, he delivered a straight punch towards Duan Li's stomach!

Suuuu...

The instant Shen Long's fist made contact with Duan Li's body, the entire floor tiles around them was destroyed with a loud sonic boom!

BOOMMMM!!

This was the might of someone standing at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, the Pinnacle stage! A single punch from them could destroy and flattened the hills, and their steps could induce earthquakes! Right at this moment, this very same horrifying force was blasting at Duan Li's body in full force!!

"Ahhh!" Ding Ziqing received the majority of the force absorbed by their barrier from her side as she gritted her teeth and cycled her spiritual Qi furiously in an attempt to cancel out the force!

What devastating might! Will someone of the lower realm still be able to live after receiving such a blow?

"S-Shen Long is really serious? Duan Li is going to die at this rate! Stop him!" Le Cenglei was horrified at this sight and turned towards Zhang Xi with a pleading look.

"Don't worry too much. You haven't yet witnessed that boy in a fight.. look." Zhang Xi shook his head with a smile as he pointed.

Tracing the direction pointed out by the latter's index finger, Le Cenglei's eyes widened in astonishment!

Amidst the slowly dispersing dust, a stout silhouette could be seen standing tall like an immovable mountain, and his body was completely unscathed!

It was Duan Li!

However, because the force was too powerful, Duan Li's uniform ended up being torn to shreds, revealing an exposed upper body that seemed to glistened with dense and symmetrical muscular anatomy!

Shen Long's eyes narrowed upon this scene as well. "I've already guessed that he could handle this much... But not a single scratch on his body? Just what kind of ridiculous power does this boy have?" he couldn't help but to thought of this in his mind, astonished!

He had sparred with countless experts before, and the Emperor himself was no exception! A hundred percent force behind his punch, and even the Emperor had to retreat a few steps to redirect the majority of the impact to the ground!

But Duan Li remained rooted on the spot where he stood before!

Terrifying!

At this moment, two topless men with the physique of a perfect sculpture stared at one another intensely; one young and one old, causing Ding Ziqing to watch this flushed a little bit.

This scene is getting a little hot for me...

"How are you this strong?" Shen Long suddenly opened his mouth and asked. He was genuinely curious about Duan Li's source of might as he retracted his fist from Duan Li's lean abs.

"I don't know... maybe because my potential is of the Sky grade and I cultivated all three of my dantian?" Duan Li replied as he scratched his head awkwardly.

After all, he couldn't possibly reveal about the three mysterious pearls that were currently dwelling inside his body somewhere.

The golden pearl had the ability to slow down time, saving his a*s every time he founds himself in danger. Meanwhile, the crimson pearl seemed to be purifying his blood, making his flow of spiritual Qi smoother and his internal organs and bones stronger overtime!

As for the Emerald pearl, he conjectured that it was probably something to do with his potential, as that was his trial before in the second region!

On the other hand, Zhang Xi that heard this question had long theorized that Duan Li's overpowered capabilities had something to do with what Ancestor Zong, the Millennium Yidara tree told them before instead.

After all, Duan Li was prophesied to be the one that will stop the end times. Thus, if the child of miracle did not have such confounding might that could befuddle all, who in the world could even fight against the sun that had long illuminated the entire Tian continent since the beginning of time?

Noticing Duan Li's obvious look of hiding something, Shen Long chuckled, "It's fine, every cultivator have their own secrets after all." he said before retreating a few steps to the back to create a distance between them.

"You've witnessed my grandson's transformation right? What do you think about it?" Shen Long clasped his hands behind his back, his disposition gradually changing causing the air around him to start to ripple like hot air.

"The bloodline ability you mean?" Duan Li recalled his first meeting with Shen Murong, where the latter transformed to grow horns from both sides of his temple, mimicking the head of a dragon!

"His fighting prowess jumped by quite a lot... are you thinking of... doing the same thing as well?" Duan Li said as he couldn't help but to swallow his saliva.

Even I had to use my Super mode against Shen Murong back then, but my body is currently injured! I can't drive my spiritual Qi to transform into Super mode right now!

"Yes, but I won't go to full power yet. If my senses did not fool me, your meridians and Qi pathways seemed to be seriously injured right now, and its a wonder how you could even fight me in such a state." Shen Long said.

He then continued, "Still, it is absolutely because of that very reason that I must test the extent of your power right now. I refuse to believe that I cannot beat someone of the younger generation that is not even in his hundred percent!"

Duan Li could feel the powerful conviction behind those words that Shen Long just said with a serious face.

Right now, the other party was not looking at him with the eyes looking at a student, but an opponent that he must defeat!

After all, how many decades had he cultivated to reach his current prestige and might? If he were to back down now without showing his all, his entire years of cultivation would be for nothing!

Even worse, Duan Li might become the reason for him to become complacent!

Therefore, he must know the answer himself as to whether he will be defeated today, or will stay prevail in the end!

"Okay... I think I can handle it somehow..." Duan Li replied as he sensed his internal condition.

Hmm.. the pill inside my stomach is doing quite well... I should be able to reach 20 percent of my power soon...

Shen Long dropped his arms to his side as his veins began to bulge.

Dum! Dum!

"Thank you. It had been quite a few years since I transformed... Finally, I was able to find a worthy opponent to use it again!" Shen Long's eyes glowed brightly as if sunlight was shining within in!

"BLOODLINE RELEASE!!"

Crack! Crack!

BOOOMMMM!!

The instant Shen Long shouted this, his entire being was shrouded with pitch black aura that extended out towards the ceiling before creating a hole in the barrier straight to the sky, as if a pillar of black ink shooting towards the heavens to paint it all black!

Brrr!!! Crack! Crack!

The intensity of Shen Long's aura rippled through everything, causing the ground to tremble ceaselessly and the barrier reaching its limits!

"We can't hold this! What do we do?" Ding Ziqing shouted out, her countenance was already pale as her spiritual Qi reserves almost ran dry just by holding out!

"Don't worry, he is here." Zhang Xi replied casually, before a figure abruptly appeared beside them.

"What the hell is going on here? Why is Shen Long releasing his bloodline ability inside the school grounds?!" this figure bellowed out, reprimanding them.

It was the Principal, and he looked furious right now, ready to whip the perpetrator himself for causing such a ruckus.

"Well... you are the one who assigned him to be the invigilator for the Combat class exam, what do you expect?" Zhang Xi replied feeling a little exasperated with the other party.

Shen Long was a very competitive person in nature and the Principal know of this, yet he still told the other party to invigilate Duan Li, who was known to cause even the heavens to lose their mind!

And he dare came here getting angry at us? Hmph!

Hearing this reply, the Principal widened his eyes as if in realization before slapping his forehead in regret.

"Fine. It was my mistake. Let me help out then!" the Principal waved his hands in a series of complex gesture, innumerable amounts of incantation symbol was formed.

"Henggg!!" Clasping his palm together, the Principal's robe began to flutter dramatically before the shaking barrier stabilized!

Huuu!

The Principal was just about to say 'done' with a non-chalant look so as to appear cool before the other senior teachers, however, he heard a disturbing 'crack!' and he couldn't help but to raise his head to look at the barrier.

Pu!

The barrier began to tremble once more!

What? This is not enough?

Damn it!

"Ancestor Zong, if you can hear me... I beseech you to help us..." the Principal said with gritted teeth.

If there was any being who were more proficient in the spatial arts than him, then there was only the Millennium Yidara tree!

After which, a deep archaic voice resounded around them and spoke slowly, "Very well... Let me help out..."

Wonggg!!

The barrier immediately stabilized on the spot! Not only that, there were now 9 layers of it stacked at each other, causing the others to gasp in disbelief!

What prowess!

"I've made... the space inside... larger as well... So they can fight... to their hearts content..." Ancestor Zong's voice seemed to chuckle when he said this.

Seeing the barrier was stabilized and reinforced, the others finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Is he going to be okay?" Le Cenglei could not help but to be concerned for Duan Li as he approached the Principal to say this.

"Ah? Don't worry, he might break a few of his old bones here and there, but Shen Long should be fine!" the Principal replied casually.

"..." Le Cenglei.

I'm worried about Duan Li...
