As soon as Ye Lingchen finished speaking, he abandoned the long spear in his hand and jumped up to stand on a vine.
Wu Tianbao looked at Ye Lingchenâs unscathed appearance and could not help but mutter, âThe Hidden Groundflowerâs poison has lost its effect?â
âHow is this possible? â
Kevinâs face turned even paler, the look of despair on his face was very much evident.
The Hidden Groundflower was also a plant from the Void Realm. It naturally emitted a strange fragrance, and the poison contained within that fragrance was absolutely horrifying. Even a martial artist would faint instantly after smelling it. Once they took more than five breaths of said fragrance, martial artists below King Stage would definitely die!
Even King stage martial artists did not dare to stay in such an environment for too long.
At the same time, the Hidden Groundflower had a very overbearing characteristic. It required other plants as fodder for them to grow.
Kevinâs Demon-Locking Vines were not weak, and at the same time it could also be used as a nutrient for the Hidden Groundflower. With that close association, it was very much possible to fully utilize the wood element in battle.
Ye Lingchen had been purely using his battle power in that match because he wanted to test the difference between a wood-based awakened one and his own Wood Spirit Constitution. At the same time, he wanted to learn from Kevinâs battle techniques to better develop his Wood Spirit Constitution.
Previously, Ye Lingchen had only used his Wood Spirit Constitution to promote the growth of spiritual herbs and had neglected the possibility of using it in a fight.
âThat little guy is actually poison-resistant.â In the judgeâs seat, Zhou Jian smiled at the peak King Stage martial artist from Murica and said, âThe Demon-Locking Vines, Iron-Eating Tree, and Hidden Groundflower are all rarities, but itâs a pity that all the preparations have gone to waste.â
The King Stage martial artist from Murica had a gloomy expression. Kevin was originally their most one they were most confident in, and their expectation was that he could even get five victories in a row. Never did they foresee he would face such a huge obstacle.
An awakened one martial artist could be considered as a special kind of physique, but poison immunity was much rarer despite it being less aggressive. A martial artist with poison immunity was no less valuable than a wood element awakened martial artist.
âPoison immunity. Is there really such a constitution in this world!â Jing Shanâs eyes were red. âYe Lingchen has a really wonderful life, doesnât he? Iâm so jealous!â
Sun Hongtao laughed, but then asked in confusion, âWhat did he mean by his last sentence? â
The wood elementâs fighting style was indeed amazing, but what did it have to do with Ye Lingchen?
Ye Lingchen looked at Kevin and said lightly, âYouâve already reached your limit, right? â
Kevin snorted coldly and raised both of his hands to point at Ye Lingchen.
The Demon-Locking Vines moved once again and coiled toward Ye LIngchen like numerous giant pythons.
They had regained their vitality under Ye Lingchenâs feet. Without any warning, those vines wrapped around his feet and made it difficult for him to move.
In an instant, countless vines engulfed ye Lingchen.
Kevin laughed loudly. âHahaha, youâre too arrogant!â
Below the arena, many people also shook their heads and sighed.
âHe clearly knew that Kevin had the ability to manipulate plants and still dared to stand on the Demon-Locking Vine. Heâs asking for it.â
âHeâs too arrogant. The winner has already been decided.â
âThat kid just loves showing off.â Sun Hongtaoâs expression was ugly. âIf he loses because of this, I wonât f*cking let it slide!â
Under everyoneâs watchful gaze, the vines that were shaking crazily suddenly stopped, and then slowly dispersed.
Kevinâs laughter came to an abrupt stop.
The discussions of the crowd instantly disappeared.
The whole place... was dead silent!
âThat... that is...!â
The group of awakened ones from Murica stared in such disbelief that their eyes almost popped out.
Even Tie Jun and Sun Hongtao were shocked by the scene in front of them and were unable to speak.
In the center of those countless vines, Ye Lingchen stood there as if he was the king of the world. At that moment, he seemed to be the king of those vines.
Whoosh!
With a thought, those vines let out a burst of air-piercing sound, trapping the stunned Kevin tightly.
âWood-based awakening? This is impossible!â
The peak King Stage martial artist from Murica suddenly let out a loud roar. His body had actually reached Ye Lingchenâs side before his sentence ended, after which, an endless pressure followed!
Ye Lingchen let out a muffled groan and his body retreated rapidly.
However, the man from Murica stretched out a palm at the same time, as if he only needed to grab randomly and Ye Lingchenâs great abilities would not be able to escape from his palm.
âYouâre bullying a junior because you canât afford to lose? Only Murica has this kind of audacity! â
With a cold shout, Zhou Jianâs body blocked Ye Lingchen from the front, and spiritual energy began gushing out from his entire body!
In Ye Lingchenâs eyes, the man seemed to have turned into a blade, with domineering fierceness that seemed capable of tearing apart everything!
Boom!
Without seeing how the two fought, the peak King Stage warrior from Murica trembled and took three steps back.
âOne more step and youâre dead!â The smile on Zhou Jianâs face was gone, and he looked extremely cold.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across the face of Murican martial artist, but he did not want to make another move. He therefore asked, âHow could there be an awakened one in your country?â
âWho said that there canât be awakened ones in China? Besides, itâs not certain whether heâs an awakened one or not.â After Zhou Jian said that, he directly looked at Wu Tianbao, âThe winner has been decided. Itâs time to announce the result! â
âOh, oh.â Wu Tianbao finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said, âthis yearâs International Martial Arts Tournament champion is China!â
Those words definitively signalled the end of that tournament.
Everyone came back to their senses, and countless gazes were focused on Ye Lingchen.
At the last moment, Ye Lingchenâs strength had already exceeded everyoneâs expectations, especially his ability to manipulate trees, which had completely subverted their worldview.
Martial artists and awakened ones were two completely different existences, but it had actually achieved a perfect combination in Ye Lingchenâs body.
If everyone could do this, then...
For a moment, countless people looked at Ye Lingchen with burning eyes. Even those peak King Stage martial artistsâ eyes lit up like crazy.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Ye Lingchenâs neck shrank and he directly hid behind Zhou Jian.
Zhou Jian glared at Ye Lingchen, grabbed his shoulder, and appeared beside Sun Hongtao in a flash. He said softly, âIf thereâs anything else, weâll talk when we get back.â
..
Chinaâs lounging area.
Zhou Jian snapped at Ye Lingchen, âYouâre too arrogant. You could have won with your martial arts, but you insisted on showing off. Weâre in big trouble this time.â
Ye Lingchenâs anti-poison constitution had completely defeated Kevin, and Kevin had already used up a lot of his energy. Ye Lingchen did not actually have to reveal his wood element talent to win, but with that, he had become the target of each country.
Jing Shan asked immediately, âHow did you do it? An awakened one and a martial artist, that was simply too amazing! Youâve cultivated both magic and martial arts!â
Ye Lingchen smiled but did not say anything. He turned to look at Sun Hongtao and said, âInstructor Sun, now that Iâve got first place, our agreement says that Iâll be allowed to set up a martial arts school. With this school, I will teach everything without reservation.â
