"This person..."
Chen Heng couldn't help but frown as he looked at Liu Sheng, who was still charging towards him despite being covered in injuries. A bad feeling inexplicably arose in Chen Heng's heart.
It was as if Chen Heng had become a villain who a hero in the stories would defeat.
Liu Sheng was so determined, as seen in his heroic posture. He still fearlessly charged against his enemy even though he was covered in wounds. He was a great man, and it made people sigh at a glance.
As for Chen Heng, he stood there alone, feeling the breeze around him and the majestic aura that came from Liu Sheng's body. He looked a little cold, and although he was calm, his face became darker. The more he looked at it, the more he felt like a villain. Then, he shook his head and waved his hand again.
Bang!
As his palm struck, the space before him seemed to be suppressed by something, showing a sense of deformation. The surroundings were torn apart, and vaguely, a sense of estrangement emerged.
Liu Sheng's body instantly froze, and he could not help but stop his initial charging posture. An inexplicable expression of pain was shown on his face but disappeared immediately. What replaced it was the resolute expression from before.
From the looks of it, he had undoubtedly suffered intense pain just now. However, he forcefully endured it instantly and did not reveal any. This kind of powerful willpower was truly admirable.
However, even so, his body had stopped. Blood was spurting out from all over his body, looking exceptionally miserable.
"Still won't give up?" Looking at Liu Sheng's appearance, Chen Heng's expression was cold, and he calmly said, "You won't be able to hold on if this continues."
Hearing Chen Heng's voice, Liu Sheng raised his head with great difficulty and looked at Chen Heng with tremendous pressure. Even though he didn't say a word, his eyes still carried determination and looked tenacious and unyielding, like an old tree on a cliff. Liu Sheng would never give up.
"As expected, you still won't give up..." Chen Heng sighed, feeling a little helpless. After fighting until now, even Chen Heng couldn't help but feel a bit impatient in his heart. Liu Sheng was like a cockroach that couldn't be beaten to death, making people feel incredibly annoyed. However, that was the end of it.
"Since you are not willing to surrender." Chen Heng's expression became colder and colder, and he stretched out his hand and silently waved.
"Then I will send you off." As his indifferent words sounded, there was a dense chill in them, as if there was faint, fatal killing intent.
A wave of spiritual power escaped from Chen Heng's body and spread to the rest of the people around him.
Vaguely, it was as if one could see danger, as well as countless corpses lying on the battlefield. It was an incomparably tragic and terrifying scene.
The power of slaughter circulated instantly, and a terrifying and peerless power erupted.
Bang!
In an instant, the person before him was affected, and his eyes revealed a faint confusion before his body was sent flying. There were wounds all over his body, which were destroyed from the inside of the body.
This time, Chen Heng did not hold back against Liu Sheng. The power in his body erupted and swept in all directions, destroying the joints on his body. Not only did Liu Sheng's body suffer severe internal and external injuries, but the bones all over his body were crushed. His entire body appeared exceptionally miserable.
At this point, the battle was already over. No matter how tenacious he was, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to stand up again.
The winner and loser of this battle were decided. Chen Heng's expression was cold, and he was about to turn around and walk out. However, his footsteps could not help but stop the next moment.
"I-I haven't lost yet..." Behind him, a feeble voice was heard, like the mumble of a person on the verge of death.
If it wasn't for the fact that the arena was exceptionally quiet, and Chen Heng's hearing was much sharper than ordinary people's, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
Chen Heng's body paused, then he silently turned and looked in that direction. He saw that Liu Sheng was still there, and his entire body was heavily injured. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to stand up.
However, he was still tenacious. He struggled, trying to stand up from the ground, and his face was filled with stubbornness.
"I don't want to give up..."
He slowly stood up. His body was slightly trembling as if he was enduring immense pain every moment. Of course, that was indeed the case. Yet, regardless of the process, he stood up firmly in the end.
Chen Heng looked at this scene coldly, not knowing what to say. He had traveled through many worlds, seen many sceneries, and had also seen all kinds of people. Among them, there were righteous and frank people, loyal and brave people, and despicable and vicious people...
However, it was the first time Chen Heng had seen someone like Liu Sheng, who had such strong willpower and would not give up until the end.
Anyhow, it's over now. No matter how strong one's willpower was, it could not change the situation in reality. Reality will not change by mere consciousness. What was the point of having strength if one's willpower could achieve everything?
Chen Heng watched helplessly as Liu Sheng stood up again and tried his best to swing his fist and attack Chen Heng. However, his last bit of strength disappeared, and his entire body seemed to be unable to endure it anymore. He fell and fainted on the ground.
Not far away, a clear bell ring sounded. The victory had already been decided.
A dense crowd of medical staff rushed in from the side and walked towards Liu Sheng.
"Quick! Quick! The contestant's injuries are severe and must be treated immediately!"
Soon, Liu Sheng was lifted onto a stretcher and carried away.
Meanwhile, someone approached Chen Heng too to look at his conditions. However, Chen Heng shook his head and refused. Compared to Liu Sheng, the injuries on his body were not serious. It would be good enough as long as he was bandaged, no need for too much trouble. Therefore, after Liu Sheng was sent away, he turned and walked toward the outside world.
When he walked out of the arena, it was not surprising that Liu Rou was already waiting there. She seemed pretty calm, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
"How do you feel?" A smile appeared on Liu Rou's face as she asked.
"It's a little subtle." Chen Heng shook his head and then said, "It's just a match. Is it necessary to go to this extent?"
The person he was talking about was none other than Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng was no match for Chen Heng in the previous match, but he still tried to get up, again and again, to charge at Chen Heng.
His actions surprised Chen Heng. A battle that could have been resolved quickly took such a long time.
"Who knows..." Liu Rou sighed and seemed to be touched.
"Maybe, this is what he has always done. Maybe, the reason why he can walk until now is that he was determined to move forward and never give up." Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, she said softly.
Thinking about Liu Sheng's performance just now, Chen Heng's heart moved, but he didn't say anything and just nodded calmly.
"Speaking of which..." Thinking about Chen Heng's performance in the arena just now, Liu Rou was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but look at Chen Heng, "What's up with your strength? Has your strength increased again compared to before?"
Her face revealed a puzzled expression. In the match just now, Liu Sheng's performance had indeed shocked her. That vitality and unbeaten willpower, as well as that persistent rising strength, had left a deep impression on her.
However, the impression that Chen Heng gave to others was also very strong. No matter how much strength or force the opponent used, Chen Heng seemed to be able to finish off his opponent quickly. As if he was dealing with a child, this kind of calmness also surprised people.
In particular, the strength that Chen Heng had displayed seemed to have already surpassed the level of the previous match with Wang Zhong.
"Hmm." Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything more.
"I had some experience after the last battle, so I improved a little..." He said softly.
His strength had naturally increased, not only because of his training but also because of Wang Zhong. Before this, Chen Heng had planted the killing power in Wang Zhong's body, which had begun to germinate recently.
From that day on, almost every day, there was an endless stream of killing power that gathered and flowed into Chen Heng's body. Hence, these were the results of Wang Zhong.
It seemed that ever since Chen Heng started killing, he had already tasted the sweetness of the killing power and began to fall into it. Compared to tempering and slowly improving himself, this feeling of improving as long as he continued to kill was a little intoxicating.
Therefore, during this period, Wang Zhong had worked very hard, and the more he worked hard, the more benefits Chen Heng obtained. It was precisely because of the supply of the killing power that during this period, Chen Heng's strength had increased to another level, becoming stronger than before.
To be honest, this sort of thing was quite normal for Chen Heng. However, it was clear that this news was quite shocking to Liu Rou.
"I've improved a bit..." Liu Rou was a bit speechless looking at Chen Heng, whose expression was calm as if he had said something insignificant.
'I believe in your wickedness. Do you know how much time and price it takes for others to improve at your level?' Liu Rou silently ridiculed Chen Heng in her heart.
Generally speaking, the third rank was the top level in the Qika Federation. It would be highly challenging to advance even a tiny bit at this level, which was why so many people were stuck at this level, unable to advance much for their entire lives.
And Chen Heng's understatement made it seem very casual. If someone else heard it, they might be pissed off.
'Is this a true genius?' Liu Rou could only silently sigh in her heart.
"Don't look at me like that." Chen Heng felt uncomfortable being stared at and looked at Liu Rou helplessly. "Think about the performance of the person before me. Isn't it even more ridiculous? Compared to him, I'm nothing." He said helplessly.
This time, Liu Rou silently nodded, expressing her understanding. There was a special team by her side, and they had seen everything that had happened on the field and had carried out a very detailed analysis. Therefore, she could understand the changes in Liu Sheng's body. Compared to Chen Heng, it was utterly unscientific.
Liu Sheng's strength was steadily rising as the spectators cheered and shouted. In that kind of situation, anyone else besides Chen Heng would probably be discouraged.
Compared to the opponent's unreasonable improvement methods, Chen Heng's method was nothing. At the very least, he looked like a genius, which was fairly scientific.
"Let's go."
In the distance, a gentle breeze blew, and a faint raspy voice could be heard from all directions. It was exceptionally comfortable.
After chatting with Liu Rou for a while, Chen Heng turned and walked out, preparing to leave this place.
After this battle with Liu Sheng, there was no need to overthink the next opponent.
According to the agreement with Young Master Liu, after defeating Liu Sheng, Chen Heng needed to fight with Young Master Liu next and then lose to him to help him establish prestige.
This also had a special meaning. If the opponent that Liu Sheng couldn't defeat ended up losing to that Young Master Liu, wasn't this proof that this Young Master Liu's strength surpassed Liu Sheng's? One could also conclude that the Young Master Liu was more outstanding than Liu Sheng.
After that, one only needed to find someone to brag about it, to reap his prestige. Not only could it increase one's prestige, but it could also take the opportunity to attack Liu Sheng, his potential competitor.
It could kill two birds with one stone. Of course, this idea was perfect, but whether or not things could develop as he thought would require Chen Heng's cooperation.
For this reason, after Chen Heng defeated Liu Sheng, the Young Master Liu tactfully sent the things over. Four evolutionary stones were given directly to Chen Heng.
Out of the four evolutionary stones, three were the previously agreed rewards. The last one resulted from Liu Rou's negotiation with the other party. After all, Liu Sheng's strength was much higher than the previous information.
If it were not good, Chen Heng would be overturned. Facing such a powerful enemy, he naturally had to pay more.
The Young Master Liu was self-aware of the shortfall, so he readily agreed. Things had been delivered to Chen Heng's room.
"You'd better keep these evolution stones so that you can give them to your Imperial Beast to use to improve their bloodline."
After delivering the things, Liu Rou looked at Chen Heng and continued, "Of course, you have enough evolution stones on hand now. So if you're willing, you can use one or two of them on yourself."
"A person can increase his telekinesis power by using the evolution stones and could even permanently elevate his telekinesis talent. It's a very precious opportunity." She said after putting the things down before she left the place.
After Liu Rou left, Chen Heng shifted his gaze to the table in front of him, with a few wooden boxes. In reality, these wooden boxes were unique, as they were made of a special kind of wood and had a unique function. Even without mentioning the value of the stones inside, just these wooden boxes alone were very precious things.
Chen Heng opened the wooden boxes and saw the things inside. A faint golden light began to glow. Inside the wooden box was an exquisite golden crystal.
The radiance emitted from it was highly resplendent, giving one a unique sense of warmth as it shone on one's body.
If one were to look closely, one would discover many fine lines on this golden crystal. It looked like a unique symbol and imprint that contained a mysterious power.
Chen Heng looked at the golden crystal and felt the light shining. He could not help but feel a unique power within the golden crystal, and his heart moved.
The golden crystal contained a mighty and pure power and was stored in a stable form.. This kind of power was perhaps why the evolution stone had such an effect.
