Signing In: From Lowliest Laborer To Mightiest Master? - Chapter 31

“Dead?!

“Did I kill him?

“I actually killed him!!!”

Zheng Yun had stabbed with all his might. He was already prepared to die, but he did not expect this outcome.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

He felt that he didn’t encounter any resistance at all. In fact, it was as if Luo Cheng was standing there, waiting for him to kill him. This made him feel as if he had used all his strength to attack only for it to be met with something as soft as cotton.

However, Luo Cheng had truly died! He had been burnt to ashes by the blazing flames!

But why did Luo Cheng not resist?

He didn’t believe that Luo Cheng would suddenly find his conscience and choose to die.

However, he no longer had time to think or be surprised.

Zheng Yun’s attention was focused on the energy that was originally surging like the tide in his body. If there was a rise to a tide, there was also bound to be a fall.

Right now, like a retreating tide, all of his magic power escaped him and did so completely. There was not even a bit of magic power left in his spirit sea, and the entire spirit sea was dry, with cracks appearing on the surface.

His spirit sea was crippled!

When he sacrificed his vital spirit fire just now to generate a tremendous amount of power, he knew it would also destroy his spirit sea.

Waves of weakness crushed his mental state. He couldn’t hold on any longer. His organs and bones were all in a painful state.

Finally, he blacked out and fell from the sky.

“Ah, what’s going on?”

“Senior Brother Luo Cheng is actually dead!”

“Senior Brother Zheng actually killed Senior Brother Luo! How is this possible?!”

Instantly, the entire courtyard was in an uproar. Clearly, they were shocked by this result.

Just a moment ago, Luo Cheng had looked confident about his win. Even if Zheng Yun sacrificed his vital spirit fire, he was still no match for him. However, in an instant, the tables had turned.

If Zheng Yun had defeated Luo Cheng after an arduous battle by sacrificing his vital spirit fire, it would have been easier for them to accept the results. After all, it was possible.

But Zheng Yun had defeated him in a single strike. How could they not be shocked?!

Their eyeballs were about to pop out!

“Ah! This is impossible! How can Luo Cheng die?!

“What kind of sorcery did you use, Zheng Yun? You deserve to die! I’m going to kill you!”

On the spectator stand, Elder Luo, of an age where his hair was already grayish-white, was utterly enraged when he saw this scene.

In fact, he had yet to recover from his extreme shock since it happened.

At this moment, an inexplicable fluctuation surged out from his body. Powerful and vigorous magic power instantly covered the entire central courtyard.

All the inner sect disciples could then feel a layer of “dust” covering their hearts and spirits. They could no longer circulate their magic power properly.

Their strength was actually suppressed by 20 to 30 percent in an instant.

“Is this the true strength of an elder of the sect?!”

The group of disciples had never seen this elder show his might before.

Most importantly, that oppressive might was not aimed at them. Furthermore, it covered such a vast area that it simply surpassed their imagination.

Didn’t this mean that if all these disciples worked together, they still wouldn’t be Elder Luo’s match?

Golden Bridge-realm experts were truly terrifying.

Elder Luo flew out toward the stage in a fit of rage.

In an instant, he arrived at the edge of the arena. He coldly snorted, and a fist imprint emitting blazing ice flames was about to smash Zheng Yun who was lying on the ground.

However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded. “Elder Luo, enough is enough!”

It was not loud, but it was like a spring breeze. It brushed away the dust in the disciples’ hearts and made them recover from the difficult situation they were in.

The sect master of the Skyfire Sect, Chi Tianfeng, had unexpectedly appeared in the sky.

He hovered there, with his eyes shining brightly.

Although Chi Tianfeng did not do anything, Elder Luo’s attack automatically dissipated without any fluctuation.

“Sect Master, Luo Cheng is dead. He was the successor of our Luo clan!”

Elder Luo’s gaze was terrifyingly dark. He stared coldly at Chi Tianfeng as he maintained the magic power that was as deep as the ocean on his body.

With this, Elder Luo was trying to pressure Chi Tianfeng.

“It was a fair fight. Life and death are up to fate. Luo Tian, are you really going to break the sect’s rules?!

“Elder Luo, return to your seat!”

Chi Tianfeng’s gaze became sharper as his tone became heavier.

“That’s right, Elder Luo. If you are willing to bet, you must accept your loss. Are you a sore loser?”

At this moment, Elder Lu also stood out and criticized Elder Luo. This was an extremely good opportunity to strike at Elder Luo, so he naturally wouldn’t waste it.

“Humph, you guys—”

Elder Luo was furious. However, he could feel two strands of qi closing in on his body. He did not doubt that if he dared to forcefully attack again, he would immediately face an attack.

His hands clenched into fists several times, but in the end, they loosened.

“I’ll remember this!”

In the end, Elder Luo did not make a move. He left a vicious sentence and flew away on a flame.

“Someone, get Zheng Yun off the ring and have him treated.”

In the end, Chi Tianfeng ordered his men to bring the unconscious Zheng Yun away.

Then, he spoke again, “Alright, let’s continue the tournament.”

As soon as the tournament officially began, the entire courtyard regained its calm.

However, it was obvious that the spectators had not recovered from the shock just now. Naturally, they did not have much interest in the tournament that continued.

This made the remaining matches seem even less appreciated than yesterday’s. Only occasionally did people cheer.

“The biggest difference between the Golden Bridge realm and the Divine Sea realm lies in the domain-like ability?”

On the distant roof, Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to the following matches.

He was still thinking about how that Elder Luo flew into a rage out of humiliation and brazenly attacked.

Even though he was so far away, he was still affected by that force.

Even with his strength, he had felt an immense pressure. His strength had also been suppressed by a level.

This was still when he was rather far away. If he was on the stage, he would probably have been suppressed even more severely.

It seemed like he would have to be even more careful in front of this Golden Bridge-realm old monster in the future. Otherwise, if these fellows were to notice anything unusual, he wouldn’t even be able to escape. Even if he used the Battle Saint Art, there probably wouldn’t be much of a difference.

However, if he could complete the Battle Saint Art and increase his strength by 900%, then the current him might be able to fight a Golden Bridge-realm expert.

“It’s time to go. There’s nothing else to see.”

Jiang Chen stood up, patted off the nonexistent dust on his body, and jumped off the roof. Then, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Firesmith Hall.
