Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 473 - 326: Blade God

Luo Chen suddenly leapt several zhang high, tightly gripping the Black-Backed Long Saber with both hands, and with all his might, slashed it downwards at the thick crystal wall. At that moment, he seemed to transform into a War God, forging ahead with indomitable courage and fearlessness.

"Boom!" This clash was even more thunderous, akin to a massive roar across heaven and earth. The thick crystal wall could no longer withstand Luo Chen’s fierce assault and collapsed with a crash. In the crack opened by the Black-Backed Long Saber, it was as if billions of stars scattered on the ground, dazzling and glorious, yet they vanished instantly.

The desert returned to silence, but the surging battle spirit continued to burn fiercely in the night sky. Luo Chen stood no more than five zhang in front of Latis, deeply planting the Black-Backed Long Saber into the sandy ground. His long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a heroic aura, like a triumphant hero returning from battle.

"Latis, though I stole the Black-Backed Long Saber from the Red-faced Madman, I am still far beneath him. You and he are truly incomparable!" Luo Chen pointed at Latis, laughing heartily as he spoke. His laughter was filled with admiration for the Red-faced Madman and disdain for Latis.

Latis was enraged by Luo Chen’s blatant provocation. He sneered coldly, retorting, "Do you think you have defeated me?" His voice was full of anger and unwillingness.

However, Luo Chen merely smiled lightly and said, "The spar between you and me is not a life-and-death struggle; what does victory or defeat matter? I just want to tell you that my Black Dragon Kingdom is vast and rich, full of talented people. The Red-faced Madman is a pillar of the empire, and how could a mere mage like you look down upon him lightly?"

Upon hearing this, Latis’s face darkened like water. He stared at Luo Chen, his eyes flickering with flames of anger and jealousy. As a proud mage, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Yet he also knew that Luo Chen’s words were true. The Red-faced Madman’s reputation was far-reaching; even he had to admit to his formidable prowess.

Luo Chen’s words seemed to be sharp arrows, deeply piercing Latis’s heart. He clenched his fist in anger, yet could not refute Luo Chen’s words. In this contest, he had indeed lost, and lost completely.

The night grew deeper, and the wind in the desert became increasingly bitter. However, Luo Chen seemed completely indifferent to the cold. He still stood firm, his gaze steady and profound. He knew that although this battle had ended, the grievances between him and Latis were not yet resolved. More challenges awaited him in the future, and he would face them without fear.

"Are the Mages of the Blue People really afraid of the Martial Artists of Great Qin?" Latis’s eyes flashed with a fierce murderous intent as he gazed intently at Luo Chen, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

But Luo Chen merely smiled contemptuously and replied, "Afraid, we are not. To reveal the truth, actions must be taken. Gaining the upper hand with mere words, what kind of hero does that make?" His words were full of mockery and disdain, seemingly ridiculing Latis for only relying on verbal victory.

Latis was thoroughly incensed by Luo Chen’s taunts; he laughed in rage and loudly declared, "Fine, fine, today we shall determine who truly is the superior one!" As he spoke, he grasped his curved blade and strode towards Luo Chen, emanating a strong fighting spirit.

Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Li Xin hurriedly interjected, "Latis!" Her voice was not loud, yet it carried an irresistible force, causing Latis to involuntarily halt his steps.

Latis turned around, looking at Li Xin, and respectfully responded, "Miss, what is your command?" Despite his unresolved anger, he maintained the propriety and respect due in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin gestured towards Latis, signaling him to not act rashly. She then slowly walked between the two and said, "Everyone’s just having a spar, so why get so upset? Let it go, let it go, don’t take it to heart." Her tone was gentle yet firm, as if possessing a magic capable of dissolving any dispute.

Although Latis was unwilling in his heart, since Li Xin had spoken, he dared not act rashly. Therefore, he sat down silently by the bonfire, showing no expression. Seeing this, Luo Chen also sheathed his long saber and strode over to sit across from Latis. Their gazes met in the air briefly before quickly looking away, as if concealing the emotional tumult within.
