THE MARTIAL KING - Season 7 Episode 80

“Do you know the cultivation levels of the others who attend it?” Letitia asked him again.

Zen thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I really don’t.”

Letitia gave him a bitter smile, also shaking her head. “You don’t even know how the others are situated, yet you plan on attending the Martial Arts Contest? The warriors who take part in the contest could be at any level below the late stage of the Internal Elixir Realm. They are elite disciples cultivated by old geezers of level four or five sects! Are you certain you can fight them? With you being at the third level of the Illuminating Soul Realm?

You are not strong like Blake, Benson, and some other disciples of Cloud Hall. You’re not even in the running.

Moreover, the candidates attending the contest have already been chosen. If you wish to attend it, you have to attend it as an independent warrior and get the qualification by yourself.

If you like the idea of getting yourself killed in the process, I won’t stop you,” Letitia spouted out, her words a firm warning. Zen grew silent.

“I must attend the Martial Arts Contest,” he said as she looked at him coldly. “I must obtain the Dragon Soar Arena, and Marilyn must die!”

Making this announcement, Zen turned around and left without bidding them goodbye.

“You!” Letitia had previously planned to warn Zen not to attend the Martial Arts Contest, because she knew he would probably die otherwise. But Zen’s short speech had not given her any leeway to fully convince him.

However, the old lady, Letitia’s master, smiled appreciatively. She had lived for long and was very experienced. She had been angry that Zen blamed Letitia. Being a warrior, Zen must know when to admit to his responsibilities.

“You are not allowed to leave!” Letitia outstretched her hand as she rebuilt the enchanted barrier. She had been back at the beginning level of the Virtual Tribulation Realm. It was easy for her to stop Zen.

But at the same time, Zen’s body started to shake. He looked like a ghost; like a rippling figure under water. As he shook, he got past the enhanced barrier that Letitia had made with no scruples, as if it did not exist at all!

Letitia and the old lady could not believe their eyes. It seemed incredible!

They wondered if there was something wrong with their visions. What just happened?

One couldn’t deny Letitia’s cultivation base. She was at the beginning level of the Virtual Tribulation Realm!

Besides, she had sacrificed her cultivation strength nine times now, and her power was far greater compared to ordinary warriors who were at the beginning level of the same realm. Her enchanted barrier was exceptionally strong, but just now Zen passed it so smoothly, as if it wasn’t present before him at all. What on earth did he just do to surpass that?

“If my eyes serve me correctly, Zen seemed to utilize the strength of the Space Law. Also… he seems to have learned that Law quite well. Even Saint Morphens, is not able to perform as well as Zen,” the old lady said, recovering first. She shook her head disbelievingly.

Morphens had learned the Space Rules like few others could. However, he could use his Mystical Pace in the weak space, which was entirely different from what Zen did. Zen passed Tia’s enchanted barrier with ease. It seemed that Zen didn’t do anything fancy, but his moving skills themselves contained a profound understanding of the Space Rule.

Letitia wanted to catch up to Zen. But the old lady, her mentor, was still here. She hesitated, trying to hold herself back.

“That young boy… is unusual. If he insists on attending the Martial Arts Contest, just let him go,” the old lady said calmly. She threw Letitia a meaningful look. “Which brings me to my next question. Tell me, why did you stop him from attending the Martial Arts Contest? I’m curious.”

Letitia blinked, answering, “No matter what Zen has done, he is a disciple of Cloud Hall. I would feel tremendously guilty if he is killed!”

“Is that right? If so, then what about the others? Aren’t Blake, Benson, and the others disciples of our Cloud Hall too? If he feared death, he shouldn’t have started to cultivate the martial arts in the beginning.” A smile lingered in the old lay’s opalescent eyes as she finished her words.

“I don’t know what you mean, master,” Letitia spluttered, still acting the naive little girl.

The old lady sighed, her expression becoming grave. She had lived for so long. How could she not see what was blooming between Letitia and Zen?

The way Letitia talked to Zen was so different from how she reacted to others. She did not behave like she was the rightful head of the Cloud Hall at all! How could her master not put two and two together then? She knew the secret Letitia was harboring.

The old lady knew that Letitia and Zen had gone through something together at the Cloud Road, however, she did not know exactly what had occurred. It did not matter, in any case. As long as Zen continued to have breakthroughs and could be powerful enough, she wouldn’t mind marrying Tia off to Zen.

As per her point of view, Zen truly was a rare genius. His potential was as great as Tia’s. For the sake of his cultivation, using up all the resources at Cloud Hall would be worth it.

It was a pity that Zen was too weak right now. Not all geniuses got the chance to grow without a spanner in the works. Zen expected to kill Marilyn and declared a war against Eddie Cui in the process. It wasn’t certain that Zen would survive the Martial Arts Contest at all.
