Chapter 2974: Chapter 2977: The Bodily Path Reveals Its Might

"He... knelt?!"

"How’s that possible?! Jiang Chen relied on his Domain alone to completely suppress Lu Qingxiang?!"

"What a terrifying Domain. How can Jiang Chen’s Domain be this strong?!"

"With a Domain foundation like this, once it’s fused into his body and he breaks through to the Saint Monarch Realm, wouldn’t he straight up be a Saint Monarch Peak–level existence?"

The elders were stunned, staring at Jiang Chen on the arena with utter disbelief, their faces full of shock.

The students around the arena all cried out in loss of composure. A Saint, in a battle against a peer of the same realm, actually forced the other to kneel relying only on Domain Suppression—this completely exceeded their understanding.

Saints... can be this weak?

Some students Below the Saint couldn’t comprehend Jiang Chen’s strength; instead they felt that Lu Qingxiang was just damn weak!

"Taiyuan Chancellor, please move the arena back into the Void Boundary space!"

Jiang Chen sensed the surrounding space. It wasn’t something he could shatter himself, so he turned and cupped his fists toward Tai Yuan on the high platform.

Buzz!

Tai Yuan waved his hand, space vibrated, and the arena returned to the space where everyone stood.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s Domain was only released to a radius of a thousand meters, just enough to cover the entire arena.

Once the arena returned, the elders’ perception of Jiang Chen’s Domain aura grew even more intense, and suddenly all of them widened their eyes.

"He wasn’t going all-out?!"

"This Domain... actually isn’t fully expanded?!"

"He hasn’t completely mobilized it! How is that possible?!"

The elders all cried out in shock, looking at Jiang Chen with utter disbelief.

Up in the sky, Su Ruoyun’s expression suddenly changed. She slightly sensed Jiang Chen’s Domain and compared it with her own Domain before her breakthrough. She abruptly realized that the strength of her Domain before breaking through to Saint Monarch was only a tiny bit stronger than Jiang Chen’s current Domain.

And this was him holding back. Could it be that if Jiang Chen unleashed his Domain with full force, its power would already match the Domain she had when she broke through? How the hell was that possible?!

The students around were all startled by the elders’ exclamations.

He’s still not going all-out!? Damn, just how strong is this Jiang Chen?!

This battle had already surpassed the understanding of the vast majority of students, and now they could understand it even less!

Those students and elders who were also in the Saint Realm all looked at Jiang Chen on the arena with horrified faces, feeling that if they went up, they’d probably be suppressed as well!

On the north side of the arena, Zhuo Bufan and the others also widened their eyes. After slightly sensing Jiang Chen’s Domain, they immediately made a decision.

Absolutely must not challenge him!

At this moment, Taiyuan Chancellor and the others finally understood why Zhao Buzu said that defeating Jiang Chen would grant direct entry into Void Nether Academy.

With such overwhelming strength, if someone could still defeat him, wouldn’t that basically mean they’re invincible in the same realm? Whether the rest of the challenge proceeded or not was already meaningless!

For a time, the entire Martial Arts Arena fell dead silent.

Tap tap tap!

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded. Everyone fixed their gazes and their expressions immediately changed slightly.

On the arena, Jiang Chen walked toward Lu Qingxiang with a blank face, one step at a time, very slowly.

"Y-you... what are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Lu Qingxiang cried out in panic, "No killing is allowed in a challenge on the arena. D-don’t do anything crazy!"

Jiang Chen didn’t respond at all, slowly walking to stand before Lu Qingxiang.

"You..."

"Go to hell!"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, Lu Qingxiang’s expression suddenly turned vicious. Brilliant Great Dao Divine Light erupted from his whole body as a Flame Longknife appeared above Jiang Chen’s head and hacked down ferociously.

"Ah!"

"Watch out!"

"Despicable!"

Everyone cried out.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen’s gaze turned cold. His right leg lifted, a profound fluctuation emerging as his entire right leg emitted a faint Golden Radiance.

Swish!

He chopped down with his leg viciously, directly cleaving onto that Flame Longknife.

Bang!

A bursting sound rang out, and the Flame Longknife instantly turned into a Sea of Flames.

"He blasted apart a Great Dao Attack with one leg?!"

"How’s that possible?!"

"Just how strong is Jiang Chen’s body?!"

"This... did we fucking run into a ghost or something?"

The students around the arena all widened their eyes, their faces full of incredulity.

"Physical Body Path?!"

"Jiang Chen... he comprehended the Physical Body Path?! How is that possible?!"

Suppressive exclamations rang out from the high platform as the elders all stared, eyes bulging.

Taiyuan Chancellor and a few others held their breath for a moment, then all turned their heads in unison to look at Zhao Buzu.

The Bodily Path was an extremely special Great Dao, even harder to comprehend than the Extreme Path. Only when comprehending one’s own Great Dao would a Cultivator possibly grasp a bit of the Bodily Path, since by the time a Great Dao Saint Monarch Peak cultivator tried to comprehend their own Great Dao, they would already have tempered their physical body.

But to want to comprehend the Bodily Path in the Saint Realm was extremely difficult. Moreover, from Jiang Chen’s earlier display, Tai Yuan and the others could clearly sense that what Jiang Chen unleashed was not the Bodily Path of Heaven and Earth’s Great Dao, but a Bodily Path belonging to his own Great Dao.

This completely shook them to the core!

"Everyone has their own fortune."

Zhao Buzu didn’t explain anything, speaking casually.

Tai Yuan and the others swallowed, saying nothing more.

Canghai Academy’s Chancellor Zhu Qian and Cangming Academy’s Chancellor Fu Zhujiang exchanged a look, their eyes turning as if they were weighing something.

To the north of the arena, Cheng Huang’er and the others all widened their eyes.

"Holy shit, Jiang Chen, h-he’s comprehended the Bodily Path to this level? He’s completed the linkage of an entire leg acupoint sequence?!"

Tang Jie stared dumbly at Jiang Chen on the arena, his eyeballs about to pop out. "I’ve only activated three acupoints, and h-he... compared to him, why do I feel like such trash?"

Yue Muchen, Ren Cangsheng, and the others exchanged glances, all revealing a bitter smile.

Jiang Chen, be a human, will you! Stop crushing people like this, okay?

"Get the hell off the stage!"

A furious roar came from the arena, and everyone hurriedly looked up.

On the arena, Jiang Chen viciously kicked out, faint Golden Radiance swirling around his foot.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, Lu Qingxiang’s physical body instantly blew apart into a mist of blood, and a weak strand of golden light suddenly shot out from within the blood mist.

Swish!

Su Ruoyun’s expression changed. She flashed onto the arena and reached out to catch that strand of golden light.

The golden light was only the size of a pinky, with Lu Qingxiang’s vague outline faintly visible.

"You broke the rules! You destroyed my physical body—that violates the challenge rules!"

Lu Qingxiang’s Primordial Spirit shouted loudly.

"The challenge rules only say no killing. Did I kill you? Are you dead?"

Jiang Chen stared coldly at Lu Qingxiang’s Primordial Spirit, killing intent bursting from his eyes. "Or are you saying you want me to erase your Primordial Spirit as well?"

Lu Qingxiang’s Primordial Spirit shuddered, quickly flying to hide behind Su Ruoyun.
