Chapter 129 The Heavenly Dao, Drenched in Sweat

In the real world, there are 13 stations.

"Family members, doesn't this scene look just like what Lao Tian said to Lao Xing at the beginning of the first season?"

'No need to say "seems," I just paused and watched the first episode of the first season, and it's really quite similar. It seems Prisoner Star has figured it out.'

"What theft? This is clearly Lao Xing trying to emulate Lao Tian, ​​attempting to do the same things he did! It's a tribute!"

"We completely understand! Our Aoyama Hospital needs patients like you! Because you're definitely incurable!"

While the dimensional bullet comments were being spammed with laughter and joy
Kong Cheng, a second-level high-ranking star envoy, finally overcame his fear and chose to challenge Dust Star as the first target.

After all, he was the highest-ranking Star Envoy among everyone present.

If he doesn't come out first, wouldn't that make him look too cowardly?
However, the other branch captains in the audience were not optimistic about his choice.

"Old Kong is still too concerned about his image. He thinks that his Star Source Awakening is his greatest asset, but he doesn't realize that people's potential is different."

The person next to him nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, the deeper the potential, the harder it is to tap. Old Kong always thought that completing the superior awakening would make him superior to others, but actually..."

Before the branch leader could finish speaking, someone next to him lazily chimed in, "Perhaps he can see it, he just can't accept this reality."

"Right."

Amidst the discussions among the captains of the Steam Branch.

Kong Cheng suddenly ripped off his flashy red cloak and strode confidently onto the ring.

But when his gaze fell upon Chen Xing, who stood not far away, one hand resting on the hilt of his demon sword, carrying the sword on his back.

The confidence on his face vanished again.

The thought of being ridiculed by others if I lose too badly is just too much.

He then rallied again.

After all, things have come to this point, there's absolutely no way he'd give up!

"what!"

With a roar, Kong Cheng unleashed his Star Source—Raging Flame—without reservation.

A special star source that can transform its own anger into real flames.

And because he had just been 'humiliated' by Chenxing.

This caused Kong Cheng to remain unusually calm despite his anger.

I felt an immense power surging forth from within my body.

A sudden realization dawned on Kong Cheng, as if he had vaguely grasped the threshold of the realm called 'Level Three' that had troubled him for many years.
Thinking of this, Kong Cheng couldn't help but say, "Little girl, although I know the gap in strength between you and me, it seems that I have already taken one step out of that crucial stage."

"And this has made my anger not only more intense, but also more controllable."

The flames on Kong Cheng's fist crackled, and his tone carried a confident air of having broken through barriers and established a new order.

"So, if you continue to underestimate me, you're going to suffer a great loss!"

"Get ready for this all-out, serious punch from me!"

After saying that, Kong Cheng suddenly rushed towards Chen Xing.

If there was real anger, he released terrifyingly high temperatures around his body, causing the air to distort slightly.

His performance surprised many in the audience.

I feel that Kong Cheng has finally made some progress.

"Fire Fist!"

With a roar from Kong Cheng, he burst forth like a meteorite and then punched the motionless Chen Xing.

This punch was also the most powerful punch Kong Cheng had ever thrown in his life.

Because at this moment, he was in better condition than ever before!
But just when everyone thought they were about to witness a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Dust Star didn't even move; he simply slapped out with a nonchalant air.

Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the venue.

Kong Cheng, who was arrogant just a second ago, was sent flying by Chen Xing the next second.

It traced a magnificent parabola in the air before crashing heavily outside the ring.

In addition, the production team of the Stars series thoughtfully gave him a slow-motion close-up.

In the video, Kong Cheng's face is contorted into a strange arc.

A bloody front tooth flew out with a 'whoosh,' spun twice in the air, and finally landed on the ground.

boom!
Kong Cheng crashed heavily onto the outside of the ring, his head spinning so badly that he couldn't get up for a long time.

His snarling front teeth made his breathing sound like a broken bellows, which was quite comical.

Chen Xing didn't even raise an eyelid in response, and simply uttered three words: "Next."

Looking at Chen Xing, who remained expressionless on the arena.

Kong Cheng lay sprawled on the ground below the arena.

The anime/manga audience was ecstatic. "Seriously, old man! All that 'power-up' and 'cloak-ripping' stuff, and this is it?"

Kong Cheng: I feel like I've gotten stronger! Chen Xing: Oh. (Raises hand)

'Stealing! Lao Xing definitely stole our Lao Tian's script!'

"Hey, Lao Tian and Lao Xing are both from the Lao family. Forget about stealing the script, our Lao Xing will even steal the whole thing from you!!!"

'Daily pass holders: The element appears, suddenly alert! (Meow looks up)'

"I've said it many times, how can you become stronger without going bald? Since you're not bald yet, don't try to imitate others' 'serious punches'! You won't understand it."

'Kong Cheng, Kong Cheng, it's unlikely you'll succeed. With a name like that, how could you possibly succeed!'

Following Kong Cheng, Yu Chen and another examinee also underwent assessments from Chen Xing.

Aside from Yu Chen, who unexpectedly survived for a minute thanks to his 'sure-hit silver spear', the others...

Like Kong Cheng, the first examinee to appear, the other examinee was easily sent off the stage by Chen Xing.

Throughout this entire process, Chen Xing never drew his sword.

His right hand was always resting on the hilt of the demon sword.

There was no doubt that she only used the phrase '20% of her strength' when she spoke.

Even so, some squad leaders still became dissatisfied.

"The purpose of the assessment is to allow the examinee to demonstrate their full potential. What's the point of this assessment if the demon swordsman from the Lieyang family is doing this?"

The person next to her nodded and said, "Yes, we know she's very strong, but this assessment isn't about letting her show off her strength, but about letting us see the true abilities of the other assessors."

"In my opinion, this demon swordswoman isn't here to help us with the assessment; she's here to cause trouble."

That being said, the squad leaders did guess one thing correctly.

That was the real reason why Chen Xing suddenly wanted to be the chief examiner; it wasn't to help them with the assessment.

Instead, she wanted to test someone she was unsure about.

Although she only saw the guy's back at the time.

Moreover, this guy's appearance is almost completely different from the person in his memory.

But Dust Star trusted his intuition.

After all, no one understands that feeling better than her, who has always been chasing after someone's shadow.

Yes, it's just a feeling.

A 'feeling' that has no objective basis and is entirely based on subjective emotions.

It was precisely this 'feeling' that made Chen Xing feel as if he had crossed through layers of fog and grasped the shadow of someone.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing immediately looked at the only remaining challenger in the arena—Tian Dao.

Unlike his expressionless face towards others.

At this moment, Chen Xing not only had a rare smile on his lips, but his voice was also filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Come on, I believe you will surprise me."

surprise?

It was a shock!
Tiandao looked at Chenxing, whose face was full of excitement, and was already drenched in sweat.

No, Xing, tone it down a bit!

Keep looking at me like that and saying things that are easy to misunderstand.

This disguise I worked so hard to create is going to fall apart right now!
Didn't you see that everyone around you has been influenced by you and has started to seriously observe me?

I felt the scrutinizing gazes from all around me, like searchlights.

For the first time, Heaven felt 'pressure'.

This pressure comes from the feeling that the script is beyond one's control.

In his original plan, there shouldn't have been so many problems with the Fifth Division's assessment.

He can easily pass the test by simply acting casually and putting on a show.

But the appearance of Dust Star completely disrupted everything.

This experience also made Heaven understand one thing.

That is, no matter how perfect his script is, there will always be some people who like to steal the show and disrupt everything!
but
It was just a minor over-the-top moment by Chen Xing; everything is still under control!

Thinking of this, Tiandao immediately looked at Chenxing and put on a standard, formulaic, gentle smile with perfect acting skills.

"That might disappoint you, after all, I'm just an ordinary calligraphy enthusiast."

Having said that, Tiandao stepped into the arena amidst Chenxing's expectant gaze.

Comparing acting skills?

He, Tiandao, has never been afraid of anyone!
P.S.: There will be three more chapters later. I'll try to update earlier in the future so that everyone won't have to stay up too late.
