Chapter 414 – A Battle Few Bet On (Requesting Monthly Votes)
In the Vip section of the audience stand
The group of powerhouses sat with rapt attention, their extraordinary senses allowing them to track every movement of Chu Yu and Lin Chen with perfect clarity.
Wang Yunpeng, the middle-aged man in a blue robe, watched the fierce battle unfold on stage and couldn't help but nod approvingly.
"Lin Chen's strength is indeed superior!" he remarked. "It's no shame for Hailong to lose to him. Being able to go toe-to-toe against an Sss-Rank like Chu Yu without faltering is impressive."
A military martial artist chimed in with admiration, "I know Chu Yu well. His innate talent is exceptional—he's been obsessed with Red Emperor since childhood. After awakening his special ability, [Crimson Flame], he dedicated himself completely to that path."
"He cultivates the Scarlet Flamebird Evolution Method for his primordial energy martial arts, and even his blade techniques come from Red Emperor's masterpiece—the condensed version called Yanhuan Blade Techniques."
"This blade style relies on overwhelming momentum. Its sweeping, aggressive strikes burn like wildfires, embodying eight words: 'Fierce and domineering, advancing like consuming flames.'"
"When Chu Yu activates his Yanhuan Artistic Realm, his techniques radiate solar brilliance, drastically amplifying their explosive power and destructive force. Chu Yu consistently overwhelms opponents through sheer dominance—his physical strength rivals that of many innate divine-strength martial artists."
"He wanted to apprentice under Red Emperor, but ended up being taught by the master's disciple instead. Lin Chen is equally formidable, but victory will still be difficult for him."
"As this battle drags on, Chu Yu only grows stronger. He thrives under pressure."
Xue Zhou, the free-spirited martial artist, shook his head. "Nothing's absolute. Lin Chen matching Chu Yu blow for blow proves they're nearly equal—extremely impressive."
"This means determining a winner won't be easy. Both are giving their all, and any small shift could tip the scales. Let's just enjoy the match."
As he spoke, a tall, handsome man in black materialized in his seat.
"Dean Liu, you arrived just in time", someone called. "Almost missed your disciple's spectacular fight!"
Mu Hong nodded, his weathered face fixed intently on the battlefield. Fresh from the battlefront, he'd logged on immediately to watch Lin Chen's match.
……
Boom! Crash! Explosions!
The battleground lay in ruins—Lin Chen and Chu Yu had clashed repeatedly, their power escalating with each exchange. Energy waves continuously collided around them, sending shockwaves through the arena.
With one slash, the wrecked armored vehicles erupted into flames. Lin Chen's golden spear beam pierced the lighthouse, causing it to collapse in a swirling cloud of dust.
Before debris could settle, crimson flames and blade auras swept it all away. The concrete beneath their feet cracked and sank half a meter from their relentless combat.
Wan Ming on the audience stand exhaled sharply, "This is divine warfare—we mortals couldn't withstand a single strike from them."
Yu Zhuoran nodded grimly, "Not even senior students could survive one blow."
Nearby, Du Shanyan watched anxiously, her brow furrowed. Observing their overwhelming power, she realized neither fighter would be easy to defeat. While expecting Chu Yu's strength, Lin Chen's level surprised her—how had he reached this point?
The battle reached its climax.
Boom!!
Their red and golden auras collided violently, sending both combatants reeling backward.
After several steps back, they locked eyes. Then simultaneously activated their Minor Divine Abilities.
Chu Yu's [Crimson Flame] blazed brighter, ancient red patterns glowing deeper as volcanic power surged through his body. The eighth-stage disaster beast Ember Finch's technique, [Molten Change], coursed through him like a reactor, turning his body into molten steel.
The endless energy stream fueled his confidence. Though rarely used, this ability always granted immense power boosts. Now, the surrounding space warped from heat exceeding thousands of degrees, capable of melting metal into slag.
Lin Chen countered with [Golden Vajra Transformation]. Golden runes surged across his bulging muscles, transforming his body into a towering colossus surrounded by solidified golden blades—each one razor-sharp and glowing brilliantly.
His heartbeat thundered like war drums as divine energy surged through his veins, making him feel capable of shattering space itself. For two years since entering university, Chu Yu was the only genius able to match him move for move—an equal Viktor could never achieve.
Chu Yu roared, swinging his blazing saber, "Lin Chen, this ends now! Die!"
Lin Chen gripped his golden spear, golden light swirling. "Indeed."
With a sweeping arc, both unleashed their ultimate attacks—golden blades and crimson storms colliding in cataclysmic fury.
Though Chu Yu's [Crimson Flame] granted terrifying destructive power, its physical toll mounted rapidly. He'd reached his limit—either end this now or lose. Lin Chen recognized this, and welcomed the decisive moment.
