Chapter 2172: 2172. Ao Hua

“What arrogant words!”

“In the past, we would always send invitation letters in order to interact with those from the other Skies. It’s preposterous that a physician like you actually dares to talk to us in such a manner!”

“Everyone, calm down. The fact that he has a pair of golden dragon horn shows that he possesses the bloodline of the Cloud Dragon Monarch, making him the descendant of a God Monarch. Things probably aren’t as simple as they seem.”

“He’s just a person who relies on his bloodline! We are all experts of our respective powers, so I don’t believe he can be that powerful!”

The conceited words of the white-robed man induced outrage within the crowd.

The other party was a physician who was there to exchange insight with their Physician Guild. Even if he was in the top thirty in the Board of Potential God Kings for the Sky of Cloud Dragon, it was inappropriate and insolent of him to rush over there to provoke them. It was a huge faux pas.

This breach of etiquette could be viewed as a lack of respect for the Sky of Drifting Specter.

If they did not respond accordingly, the Sky of Drifting Specter would be mocked by the other Skies.

“May I know how I should address you? And what is your ranking in the Sky of Cloud Dragon’s Board of Potential God Kings?”

A young man walked out from the crowd, and with a wave of his hand, he got the crowd to quiet down. With narrowed eyes, he assessed the white-robed man.

The young man was none other than the top ranker of the Sky of Drifting Specter’s board, Shentu Feng!

He was the strongest expert of the younger generation in the Shentu Clan, and he had once attempted a breakthrough to God King, only to fail in the end. Nevertheless, he had survived the ordeal, and it had allowed him to advance his physical body and soul cultivation to the level of a God King.

It was just that he had not been able to make a breakthrough with his zhenqi cultivation.

He probably would not pale too much in comparison to an ordinary God King with his current fighting prowess.

There was no questioning that he was the number one cultivator beneath the God Kings, and his position had gone unchallenged for years.

“I am Ao Hua. I am honored to be able to get into the ninth place in the Sky of Cloud Dragon’s board!” the white-robed man replied proudly.

“Ninth place?”

The faces of the crowd turned grim.

It was a known fact that the Cloud Dragon Monarch was a Pureblooded Dragon, the sovereign of all beasts. His bloodline was extremely powerful, to the extent that there were few who could rival it. Those who possessed his bloodline, once they morphed into a Pureblooded Dragon, would be invincible in their power class.

Before the receding of spiritual energy, the Nine Skies had once conducted a tournament among Celestial Gods. Aside from the Sky of Freedom and Sky of Heavenly Sword, the cultivators of the Sky of Cloud Dragon had the highest win ratio.

This was especially so once their cultivators morphed into Pureblooded Dragons. With a body that extended for hundreds of meters and scales that provided them with absolute protection, human cultivators had no way of dealing with them at all.

For this reason, the ranking board in the Sky of Cloud Dragon carried much more weight.

It was also due to this that Ao Hua dared to challenge them so arrogantly.

To be ranked in ninth place, Ao Hua’s strength was likely frighteningly powerful.

“Since you have issued the challenge, it would be unseemly if we turned you down. Allow me to face you. I’m interested to see if the experts of the Sky of Cloud Dragon are really powerful enough for you to speak so haughtily!”

As those words sounded, a young man in his thirties stepped out and walked right up to Ao Hua. He was dressed in a black robe that flowed along his figure like a fitting armor.

’’What is your name? I don’t fight with nameless individuals，” Ao Hua remarked nonchalantly.

Seeing how he was being looked down upon, the young man clenched his teeth and spat coldly, “I am tenth place on the Sky of Drifting Specter’s board, Chen Mu. I’ll only represent myself in this battle; the outcome of this battle has nothing to do with the Sky of Drifting Specter!”

Seeing this, Shentu Feng and the rest of the crowd nodded quietly, not stopping the young man at all.

Considering that Ao Hua was ninth place on the Sky of Cloud Dragon, it was not an unwise move for their tenth place to challenge him. If he won, it would boost the glory of the Sky of Drifting Specter. If he lost, it would not look bad on them.

This was a good chance to test out Ao Hua’s strength. This way, if Chen Mu lost, those who faced him afterward could prepare themselves in advance.

You sure are filled with nonsense!” Ao Hua harrumphed coldly as he took a step forward.

It should have just been a single step, but as if he had teleported, he suddenly appeared right before Chen Mu. Without making any excessive move, he chose to ram his body right into Chen Mu.

“You’re courting death!”

Not expecting the other party to forsake defense completely, choosing instead to rely entirely on his own physical body to deal with him, Chen Mu’s face flushed red in fury.

It was almost as if Ao Hua did not think that his attack would pose a threat at all.

So, Chen Mu raised his palm furiously and struck down on the incoming Ao Hua. His palm was tinged crimson, and it caused the air to distort a little.

Palm of Blazing Flames!

In order to master this palm strike, Chen Mu had used the underground lava flowing through the earth veins to temper his palms. The execution of this palm strike caused his palms to become as hot as a furnace, such that anything that came in contact with it would be seared.

It was through the mystical effect of this palm that he had managed to defeat many of his rivals to get within the top ten places on the Board of Potential God King.

As infuriated he was by Ao Hua’s underestimation, he knew that the latter was likely a formidable foe. So, he chose to use his strongest strike right from the start.

Peng!

The white-robed man did not bother dodging Chen Mu’s attack at all, allowing the Palm of Blazing Flames to land right on his body. Seeing this, Chen Mu’s face lit up in delight.

But just as he thought that victory was within grasp, he noticed a hint of ridicule on the opponent’s face.

Sh*t, is this a trap?

The look sent chills down his spine, and the warning bells in his head began ringing incessantly. Realizing that Ao Hua was up to something, Chen Mu quickly retracted his palm and retreated.

As someone who was able into the top ten in the Board of Potential God Kings, his battle sense was not ordinary.

However, as fast as he reacted, Ao Hua was even faster than him. The latter increased the speed of his ram, determined to knock Chen Mu down.

Kacha!

Chen Mu raised his arm to protect himself, but the impact of the collision fractured it. Not only so, the impact also collided with his chest, and before he could even speak, a dull groan escaped from his mouth as he was sent flying.

Pu!

Fresh blood spurted into the air as his shoulders and ribcage shattered.

“Done!” Ao Hua placed his hands behind his back nonchalantly.

It was as if the one who had made a move earlier was not him at all. There was no crease in his clothes as a result of that battle, and his voice remained calm and relaxed.

The crowd gasped a little as they began to reassess Ao Hua’s strength once more.

From the start to the end, Ao Hua had only used a single move, and that was his body ram. Yet, this single move was more than enough to overwhelm Chen Mu, rendering him powerless.

“I am Qi Yue, sixth place on the board!” Qi Yue walked out and introduced himself.

The encounter with Zhang Xuan at the Qi Clan had sparked his motivation anew, driving him to work harder than ever. In just a few short days, he had managed to further reinforce his cultivation, making his aura and zhenqi more condensed than before. This allowed him to wield greater strength at his disposal.

“Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Let’s begin the battle!” Ao Hua replied nonchalantly before charging forward once more.

Just like that, the two of them began battling one another.

Zhang Xuan followed Qi Ling-er into a vast room in the Netherworld Palace, but there was no one in sight. He could not help but frown. “Is this really the place where the Sky of Drifting Specters selects those who are worthy of getting onto the Board of Potential God Kings? Why isn’t there anyone here?”

“This is weird. There should be quite a few people here according to what I know…” Qi Ling-er was stunned, too.

The battles between those competing for the positions of the Board of Potential God Kings would be logged within this room. For this reason, quite a few people would stop by every day to view the recordings, hoping to receive some inspiration.

This room was almost never empty, so it was bizarre that there was no one there at all.

“There seems to be people over there,” Zhang Xuan said.

Without waiting for Qi Ling-er’s response, he began making his way over there.

The two of them passed by a door, and a massive dueling ring came into sight. There, they saw a sight that left them stunned.

There were more than a dozen people lying weakly in the dueling ring with pale faces. Among them stood a white- robed man who revealed a hint of haughtiness.

Half a minute ago…

After all the battles that had happened, only Shentu Feng was left.

“Is this the Sky of Drifting Specter’s Board of Potential God Kings? I don’t know if there is any reason for it to continue existing if such is the quality of its rankers…”

Ao Hua’s voice did not carry any disdain at all. It was nonchalant, almost as if he was just stating a fact.

He did not think that the top ten experts of the Board of Potential God Kings would actually be so weak. If so, it seemed like the board did not hold much purpose.

“Aren’t you speaking a little too early? Why don’t you speak after defeating me?” Shentu Feng spat coldly.

In just a few short minutes, Ao Hua had defeated not just Qi Yue but also the other seven people in the top ten. He did not use any battle techniques in the battle at all, relying solely on his physical body to beat his enemies.

Regardless of the strength of his opponent, he was able to defeat the latter in a single move.

This showed that Ao Hua’s physical body had already reached an extremely frightening level.

“Let’s cut the chatter and get straight to the battle, alright?” Ao Hua said calmly as he started charging forward once more.

Shentu Feng flicked his wrist and whipped out a sword. With incredible swiftness, he thrust it forward.

Wu!

A cold glint flashed from the blade of the sword and severed the air with incredible sharpness.

The strength of someone who had the capability to become the top expert of the Board of Potential God Kings was indubitable. The prowess of his physical body was amazing, and the swordsmanship he executed was so powerful that his high-tier Celestial God sword seemed to be unable to withstand his strength.

“Interesting!”

Seeing how formidable Shentu Feng’s swordsmanship was, Ao Hua did not dare continue fighting as recklessly as he did previously. He abruptly halted his charge and stretched his arm forward. With a jolt, his arm turned into the massive claws of a dragon.

In that instant, a domineering aura blasted from his presence, leaving others with a stifled feeling.

The bloodline of a Pureblooded Dragon!

Ding ding ding!

Shentu Feng’s sword struck heavily down upon the dragon’s claw, but the sound of metallic clangs echoed instead. No matter how much strength Shentu Feng put behind his sword, he found that he was unable to pierce through those scales.

God King realm physical body? Shentu Feng felt his body turning cold.

Only after facing Ao Hua in person did he realize just how frightening the other party was.

That explained why the other party was able to defeat the other nine with just a simple body ram. In truth, his body was already comparable to a God King-tier artifact.

No, that isn’t it. I reckon that only his claws have reached such a level. His physical body is only at the level of a high- tier Celestial God artifact, but it’s still frightening enough, Shentu Feng thought.

If Ao Hua’s entire body had reached the level of a God King, there was no way that he would have only been ninth place on the Sky of Cloud Dragon. Nevertheless, having a single claw of that prowess was frightening enough.

As expected of a Pureblooded Dragon…

Their bloodline sure was frightening. It was enough to induce despair in any cultivator facing them.

Peng!

After several strikes, the sword in Shentu Feng’s hands shattered before he was struck square in the chest. Just like those before him, he was struck heavily to the ground.

Clutching onto his heart tightly, he panted raggedly, unable to speak a word at all.

Despite being the number one expert on the Board of Potential God Kings, he was still no match for Ao Hua!

“Is that all to the Sky of Drifting Specter’s Board of Potential God Kings?” Ao Hua shook his head in disappointment.

At this moment, two figures suddenly walked in.

Zhang Xuan and Qi Ling-er.

“Oh? We seem to have come at a good time. They are competing for the ranking right now!” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up in delight.

He had been worried that he would have to wait for quite long before someone would accept the duel, but who could have known that he would see someone in the dueling ring right away? From the looks of it, it seemed like they had just concluded the duel.

Since that was the case, he just had to challenge the person who was still standing at the moment in order to replace him in the ranking.

How convenient!

His luck was not too bad after all!
