Chapter 1593: The Terror of Wu Chen

Ran Qiu, an ancient sage, was hailed as the strongest disciple under Confucius, with terrifyingly formidable strength.

If this 'shi' character golden soldier truly possessed his combat experience and techniques, how could it be easy to defeat at the same level!

"It's not that exaggerated. Although the 'shi' character golden soldier contains the writer's combat experience, battles change in an instant, and a slight difference can lead to a huge error. At the same level, being able to exert half the power of an ancient sage is already quite good!"

Seeing his expression, Luo Ruoxi smiled.

In other words, even if it contained the essence and spirit of Ran Qiu, it was just a character, not as terrifying as imagined.

"True!"

Zhang Xuan nodded and looked at the others: "Who goes first?"

"Let me!"

Wu Chen stepped forward: "I'll scout the way for Miss and Teacher Zhang!"

"Alright!" Zhang Xuan didn't say much.

This Wu Chen looked thirteen or fourteen, but his strength was evident, no need to worry. It was a good chance to see how powerful these 'shi' character golden soldiers really were.

"Begin!"

Seeing someone step forward, the stone statue boy nodded. The golden soldier of the 'Ran' character slowly stepped forward, shook its body, and its aura surged rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it reached the Great Sage level, identical to Wu Chen.

"Impressive!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

A written character that could elevate its cultivation, fight like a human... if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

No wonder any piece of Confucius's handwriting drove countless families wild. It seemed that at the ancient sage level, every character was far from simple.

"Whoosh!"

After leveling up, the golden soldier hesitated no more. It shook its body, and a long spear appeared in its palm, thrusting straight at Wu Chen.

Before the spear arrived, the space before it cracked, and fierce power stabbed toward Wu Chen's chest.

"Such formidable spear technique..."

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

Skill was evident the moment a move was made.

Zheng Yang's spear technique was taught by him, and his understanding of the spear had reached a profound level. The golden soldier's spear, though not as simple and forceful as his own, was still concise and direct, tearing through the void in one move, sealing the opponent's spirit and making escape difficult.

"Well met!"

Seeing the terror of this move, Wu Chen smiled lightly, didn't dodge, and raised his finger, pointing straight at the spear tip.

Normally, using a finger against a long spear was suicidal, but Wu Chen's fingertip carried a special rotating airflow. Once the spear tip touched it, it would be drawn into the vortex, like falling into a spatial turbulence, falling into a passive state.

The golden soldier knew the power of his fingertip airflow but showed no change in expression. It suddenly raised its spear.

This change of move was without hesitation or delay, as if the previous move was just a feint, and this was the real killing blow.

To execute such a fluid change of move, even he would need considerable effort.

"Impressive, this change of move has about a third of my ability!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but admire.

With the Library of Heaven's Path and the Eye of Insight, he could easily see through an opponent's moves and flaws. Thus, when it came to changing moves, if he claimed second, no one dared claim first. A golden man formed from a 'character' possessing a third of his ability—even seeing it with his own eyes, he found it terrifying.

"Hey!"

Startled by his change of move, Wu Chen grunted, bent the finger he had been pointing forward, and flicked it sharply.

Hum!

A finger wind like sword qi shot from between his fingers, landing precisely on the spear tip. The two collided with a soft ring, and the spear flew out of hand immediately.

Clatter clatter clatter clatter!

The golden-armored soldier retreated two steps in succession, then his body scattered like flowing water with a "whoosh," turning back into the character "冉" and flying back to the horizontal plaque.

"So strong!"

Looking at Wu Chen again, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.

This golden-armored soldier, at the same level of individual combat strength, was at least as strong as Zheng Yang, if not stronger. So formidable, yet defeated in two moves, and it seemed he was holding back, not going all out... This Wu Chen's true strength was probably not as simple as what had been seen before.

"Flaw!"

His mind stirred.

Luo Ruoxi had also used the Library to investigate before, but every time she did, she fainted, so now she was too scared to try... However, not investigating her, but investigating the boy attendant beside her, shouldn't count as a violation, right?

Knowing who this guy was, deducing Luo Ruoxi's identity should be very simple.

Whoosh!

The Library shook for a moment, but no book appeared.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xuan was startled.

This Wu Chen had just finished fighting the golden-armored soldier, his true qi was circulating, and he was still using martial techniques. Under normal circumstances, the Library would directly produce a book showing the flaws in his moves... Why was there no reaction at all?

That shouldn't be!

"Could it be... this boy attendant is also of the Derivative Void Constitution?"

His pupils contracted.

The Library couldn't investigate; there was only one possibility... that he, like himself, had the Derivative Void Constitution, the imaginary number within the Heavenly Dao.

On the Master Teacher Continent, there were countless experts and geniuses, but so far, only three had this constitution: first, himself; second, Luo Qiqi; and the third, though unknown, was most likely the Luo Ruoxi before him.

Because the Library couldn't investigate his girlfriend either, and even Heaven Mages couldn't deduce her.

Otherwise, for such a major event as the marriage alliance between the Zhang and Luo families, a Nine-Star Heaven Mage would have carefully calculated the date. The fact that they hadn't deduced her coming to find him was proof enough.

It was one thing for the young lady to have the Derivative Void Constitution, but the boy attendant too... that was too terrifying!

Since when had this special constitution, which Heaven Mages couldn't deduce, become so worthless?

"Maybe the Library needs an upgrade... If not, I'll make a trip to the Heaven Mage Guild..."

He stroked his chin, pondering.

His cultivation had been increasing, but the Library hadn't advanced much for a long time.

Although he felt this thing was already powerful without upgrading, now that he couldn't see through it, after an upgrade, he might be able to detect something different.

However, he didn't know the rules for upgrading the Library. The first time was because he was with Luo Ruoxi and fell into a coma; later, it was because he punished a Heaven Mage...

The time with Luo Ruoxi, he didn't know the reason, but punishing a Heaven Mage... was very simple. If necessary, he could find an opportunity to take a spin around the Heaven Mage Guild, and the Library's ability would surely surge again, possibly even accelerating his cultivation!

Of course, that was for later. Regardless, he had to deal with the current situation first.

Looking up ahead, he saw Luo Ruoxi glance at him with a hint of complexity, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak. Her delicate body swayed, and she stepped forward: "I'll take the second one!"
