625: One sword blast

“This saber strike…”

“If he can’t dodge it, he’ll die!!”

Below the arena, Chai Yue and Chu Youxiong’s gazes were incredibly solemn.

Although the extremely sharp Saber Qi unleashed by Matsushita Akimichi was aimed at Wang Chen in the arena, the overflowing Aura alone made the two of them feel like they couldn’t breathe.

They couldn’t imagine such powerful strength, nor how they would dodge if they faced it head-on.

They probably wouldn’t just be seriously injured; even a glancing blow would leave them on the verge of death.

“Can Wang Chen…really withstand such an attack?”

Carlos was also a bit unsure at this moment.

Although Wang Chen had appeared effortless and hadn't used his full strength during their previous battle.

But that was just a battle between Six-Turn Awakeners.

Now, Matsushita Akimichi’s saber strike had reached the Seven-Turn Peak, even touching the Eight-Turn realm!!

“Matsushita Akimichi’s strength has improved again!”

“The last time I encountered him, his Saber Intent wasn’t as solidified, but now he can almost generate substantial Saber Qi simply with his Saber Intent.”

“He truly is a ruthless individual who has fought on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield for twenty years. Although his innate talent isn’t as good as those Prodigies of his generation, these twenty years of training have allowed him to far surpass many of his peers!”

“It seems Wang Chen is in for a big lesson this time!”

The Seven-Turn Professionals watching felt the power of Matsushita Akimichi’s strike, and expressions of emotion appeared on their faces.

Leaving aside everything else, Matsushita Akimichi’s skill alone would rank him in the upper-middle tier among them.

Don’t think this level is low; one must know that the Seven-Turn Professionals present were screened from all Seven-Turn Professionals across the entire Blue Star.

Every single one of them possessed the strength to fight above their level, and outside, they feared no challenge from any other Awakener of the same rank.

“Hahaha!”

“Wang Chen is definitely going to take a big tumble in front of Matsushita Akimichi today; it’s estimated he can’t even block this move!”

“The overwhelming praise of the past few months has made this young fellow lose his true self and forget his reverence for the strong. It’s good for him to receive a lesson today!”

“That’s right, breaking his arrogance now and letting him clearly understand his own strength will save him from making a fool of himself or even losing his life when he encounters powerful alien Awakeners later on!!”

“The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is not a greenhouse like Blue Star; no one will coddle him!!”

Many Seven-Turn Professionals even sneered, all believing Wang Chen would be defeated by this strike.

Their discussions were undisguised, and when Matsushita Akimichi heard them, his Aura surged even further.

“Wang Chen.”

“If you kneel and admit defeat now, you won’t have to endure this physical suffering today!”

As he unleashed his saber strike, Matsushita Akimichi spoke with a cold sneer.

The training base gathered strong Awakeners and young Prodigies from various countries on Blue Star. If Wang Chen were to kneel and admit defeat today, his reputation would surely plummet, and he and the Dragon Country would be mocked by countless people.

At that time, the Sakura Country’s reputation would naturally soar!!

“Heh heh!”

Hearing Matsushita Akimichi’s words, Wang Chen merely sneered once, looking at the sharp Saber Qi that was striking directly at him, and asked in a calm tone:

“Matsushita Akimichi, I don’t know where you get your confidence, but have you ever heard the phrase ‘a frog in a well’?”

After speaking, he completely ignored whether Matsushita Akimichi would reply, and his longsword, held diagonally, suddenly slashed upwards.

“Today, I will make you understand that stars cannot compete with the great sun!!”

As his voice fell, Wang Chen’s internal magic power surged forth, and an incredibly solidified sword glow shot into the sky.

Boom boom boom!!

As soon as the sword glow appeared, it ripped through the air, creating bursts of Qi, and directly collided with the Saber Qi unleashed by Matsushita Akimichi.

Bang!

The moment of impact, the entire arena trembled, and terrifying magical power turbulence impacted the surrounding magical barrier, causing it to flicker erratically.

The next second.

Crack!

Matsushita Akimichi’s extremely solidified Saber Qi developed cracks, then shattered with a roar.

However, Wang Chen’s sword glow continued forward, its momentum unchecked.

“How is that possible?”

“Is this f*cking fake?”

“Just one sword strike shattered Matsushita Akimichi’s strongest attack?”

Below the arena, all the Awakeners who witnessed this scene revealed looks of shock.

They never imagined such a result!

The scene that should have been Matsushita Akimichi crushing Wang Chen had now reversed.

And at this moment, their shock was still too early!!

The sword glow in the arena continued forward, and Matsushita Akimichi felt as if he had been targeted by an incredibly terrifying giant beast.

The intense pressure made it difficult for him to breathe at this moment.

“Impossible!”

“How is this possible? Wang Chen absolutely cannot be this strong!”

“This must be some kind of burst secret technique he’s using. As long as I block this sword glow, he’ll be a fish on the chopping board, at my mercy!”

Roaring frantically in his heart, Matsushita Akimichi, with no way to avoid it, held his samurai sword horizontally in front of him.

As magic power surged wildly into it, a bright yellow barrier with scale-like patterns appeared before him.

Bang!

The next second, the sword glow heavily struck the barrier.

Crack!

However, Matsushita Akimichi’s full-strength defense was shattered the instant it collided.

Then, the sword glow continued unabated, and in Matsushita Akimichi’s terrified eyes, it landed on him.

Bang!

Matsushita Akimichi’s body was directly struck and exploded into a mist of blood.

Although afterward, the magical barrier around the arena erupted with a shocking light, and a white light fell into the blood mist, re-condensing Matsushita Akimichi’s body.

But after being resurrected, he was still submerged in the fear of death he had just experienced.

Silence.

Utter silence.

The onlookers seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell, each of them stiff and dumbfounded, staring at the figure holding the sword in the arena.

One sword.

Shattered Matsushita Akimichi’s attack!

Shattered Matsushita Akimichi’s defense!

Shattered Matsushita Akimichi’s body!

Everyone found it hard to imagine why Wang Chen’s sword strike was so powerful!!

“The power of this sword strike has completely reached the Eight-Turn standard!”

“And this isn’t even Wang Chen at his full power? How much stronger would he be if he summoned his beast companion?”

On top of the barracks, Jiang Tianhao and the two others were also stunned, and Elizabeth muttered in disbelief.

“This is just a casual, ordinary attack from Wang Chen; he didn’t even use a skill.”

“My previous vision was too narrow. The number one Prodigy in seven hundred years, the youngest global number one Prodigy in history, his strength simply cannot be measured by common sense!”

Philip let out a bitter laugh, his face showing frustration and disbelief.

With his Eight-Turn Peak insight, he could clearly see from this sword strike that Wang Chen’s combat power had already completely crossed into the Eight-Turn realm, even without considering his beast companion.

Six-Turn comparable to Eight-Turn!

Philip couldn’t even imagine how strong Wang Chen would be when he reached Eight-Turn!!
