Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 539 - 392: Do You Think You’ve Won?

Besides, Ouyang Qian vaguely perceived a strange power hidden within the white-robed youth. Although this power wasn’t formidable, it exuded an elusive aura of mystery. She knew well that if this power were to be unleashed secretly, Luo Chen might not be able to guard against it.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ouyang Qian glanced at Luo Chen and suddenly saw him smile slightly—a smile that conveyed determination. Her heart skipped a beat, and she sighed helplessly, understanding that Luo Chen was ready for battle.

"Xiaobai, the spear," Luo Chen turned and called to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai hesitated, glancing at Ouyang Qian, as if seeking her approval. Upon receiving Ouyang Qian’s nod, it neighed, and shaking its head, executed Luo Chen’s order. Moments later, a silver-white spear slipped out from Xiaobai’s ear, landing steadily in Luo Chen’s hand.

Grasping the Innocent Long Spear, standing amidst this unfamiliar world, the twilight’s afterglow painted a golden armor on Luo Chen. He took a deep breath, fingertips touching the spear, while his index finger gently tapped the spear shaft. At that instant, a surge of adrenaline erupted from Luo Chen’s heart, rushing through his meridians to his mind.

Since that day at the martial arena, Luo Chen hadn’t faced anyone in combat. Occasionally practicing his spear moves alone felt dull after that thrilling battle. But today, the provocative fighting spirit of the white-robed youth had reignited Luo Chen’s passion for battle.

The more Ouyang Qian observed, the stranger it seemed. She knew Luo Chen wasn’t one to get angry easily, but now he acted so unusually. It was indeed this peculiar fighting spirit of the white-robed youth that stirred Luo Chen’s fighting will—a rare phenomenon.

Yet, Ouyang Qian’s heart warmed as she realized that if Luo Chen fought this youth, it would be the third time he battled for her. This friendship meant a lot to her.

With the rise of fighting intent, Luo Chen’s demeanor began to transform. His gaze turned sharp and resolute as if intent on piercing through all obstacles. The Innocent Long Spear in his hand seemed to echo his battle intent, vibrating slightly as though cheering for the forthcoming duel.

The white-robed youth smirked hideously, his figure flashing as he charged at Luo Chen. In his hand was a longsword, its blade gleaming fiercely, clearly a formidable weapon.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, gripping his spear tightly and advancing. He understood that this battle wasn’t just for him but also for Ouyang Qian beside him. He couldn’t let this mysterious white-clad youth harm her.

Their figures crisscrossed in the air, stirring a whirlwind. The clash of spear and sword echoed with the sound of metal clashing. Luo Chen felt a numbness in his arm, yet he didn’t retreat, instead thrusting his spear more decisively.

The battle intensified, becoming deadlocked with their back-and-forth exchanges. Luo Chen fought more valiantly, feeling as if he had returned to the martial arena as that fearless youth. Meanwhile, the white-robed youth showcased astonishing power, his swordsmanship sharp and peculiar, difficult to defend against.

Yet, in this fierce battle, Luo Chen gradually uncovered the white-robed youth’s weakness. Although his swordsmanship was sharp, it lacked an unstoppable momentum. Luo Chen, with his resolved will and fearless courage, gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, in a heated exchange, Luo Chen’s spear broke through the white-robed youth’s defense, striking heavily against his chest. The youth screamed, flying backward, hitting the ground hard.

Luo Chen didn’t pursue his victory but retracted his spear, standing quietly in place. He viewed the white-robed youth on the ground, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He knew the battle was over, yet he understood it wasn’t a true victory. The mysterious youth concealed more secrets and power behind him.

Ouyang Qian hurried to Luo Chen’s side, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and shook his head, "I’m fine." He turned to the fallen white-robed youth, frowning, "Who are you? Why did you come for us?"

The white-robed youth struggled to stand, wiping blood from his mouth with a sneer, "You think you’ve won? Hmph, I’ll tell you—this is just the beginning!" With that, he turned and vanished into the dense forest, leaving Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian looking at each other in bewilderment.
