Dashing Student-Chapter 1214: Power of the Nascent Soul

The black-robed man revealed Chen Nan’s identity in one sentence, causing Chen Nan’s heart to skip a beat. He looked at the black-robed man with intense apprehension.

"Who are you, really?" he asked in a deep voice.

The black-robed man gritted his teeth: "Do you remember Wang Teng, whom you mercilessly killed? That was my son! I am Wang Xiang of the Wang Family!"

This revelation shocked Chen Nan even more. He never expected Wang Teng’s father to come for revenge, clearly targeting him.

He could even guess that Wang Xiang’s appearance here was deliberately arranged by the Wang Family, but he had no idea how his identity had been exposed.

Chen Nan’s guess was correct. After being discovered through the Heavenly Twin-Mirror, Wang Xiang and his son set this trap, involving all members of the Wang Family.

They knew that even if they left behind the Wang Family’s prodigy, they still couldn’t escape. But to deal with these prodigies, they were naturally from other sects.

Therefore, Wang Xiang hid his strength and identity, all to wait for Chen Nan.

As expected, they cornered Chen Nan, ready to avenge Wang Teng.

The rest of the Wang Family’s prodigy was also shocked upon seeing Wang Xiang, but soon their hearts filled with wild joy. With a Nascent Soul powerhouse in charge, who could stop them?

"Elder!" they shouted in unison.

Wang Xiang nodded towards them and said in a deep voice, "Hold on a bit; I have some personal matters to handle."

He then turned around, staring at Chen Nan: "Chen Nan, scoundrel, give me back my son’s life!"

Wang Xiang ground his teeth and roared as he stepped towards Chen Nan. Each step he took caused a stone spike to protrude from the ground, jagged like fangs, fiercely stabbing towards Chen Nan.

Chen Nan cursed in his heart because Wang Xiang was a genuine Nascent Soul Stage expert. Dealing with him was like a dimensional reduction strike.

With a bang, rubble flew, and Chen Nan, wielding Sword Chenyuan, fiercely shattered a stone spike. But soon, another one stabbed towards him.

The longsword danced with afterimages, shattering spike after spike, but just then, Wang Xiang suddenly stomped heavily on the ground. From where his foot landed, a massive chasm split open.

The chasm rapidly expanded forward, emanating strong suction as if trying to swallow everything above it.

Startled, Chen Nan hurriedly leaped into the air, only to hear a roar beside his ears. Looking up, he saw a stone sphere, about ten feet in diameter, descending from the sky.

The stone sphere was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow light, seemingly denser than the mana covering the Earth Rock Puppet. Chen Nan’s sword swung, but not only did it fail to cut through, his longsword almost slipped from his grip.

As the stone sphere crashed down, Chen Nan roared, instantly deploying the Dragon Elephant Form. In the void behind him, a dragon elephant phantom materialized as he reached to lift the stone sphere.

However, when the sphere truly fell into his hands, only then did he realize the immense weight contained within it, nearly smashing him from the sky. He barely held on but kept retreating.

The chasm on the ground yawned like a bloodthirsty maw, waiting to swallow Chen Nan whole!

"Indeed, a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Chen Nan felt a wave of desolation in his heart; his strength was still too weak, almost powerless in front of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

"No, I absolutely can’t die here!"

He shouted hoarsely as tri-colored flames suddenly appeared on his body—golden Heaven-Burning Flame, black Mo Ying Flame, and purple Netherworld Karmic Fire. The combination of these flames elevated his strength once again.

The downward force halted, and with a roar, Chen Nan tossed the stone sphere aside, then quickly gathered the three flames in front of him.

"Ten Thousand Flames Gathering Spirit Spell!"

In his spare time, Chen Nan had refined the Netherworld Karmic Fire, so now the three Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires were under his control. Quickly fusing in his palm, a Golden Crow soon emerged in a blaze.

The Golden Crow, accompanied by terrifying heat waves, flew towards Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang’s hair was blown up, and his clothes almost caught fire under the terrifying heat wave, but he merely extended a hand, and the earth trembled.

"Earth Vein Power!"

As his words fell, an earthy yellow beam shot up from the ground, piercing through the Golden Crow in an instant, then without losing momentum, it slammed into Chen Nan’s chest.

With a "pfft," Chen Nan spat blood as he was knocked back. This power was utterly irresistible, the astonishing force rendering his chest a bloody mess.

From afar, Sikong Lingxi and the other three battling the Earth Rock Puppet noticed the anomaly on their side.

"Not good! Among them, there’s actually a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!"

Sikong Lingxi was suddenly startled, hastily using the Communication Jade Talisman to relay the information, lamenting that the one named Chen Han might already be dead.

They were nearly powerless against a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Just as they attempted to escape, the defeated Chen Nan stood up again. Blood dripped continuously from him, but death was still far off.

"To withstand a direct hit from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and not die?" Sikong Lingxi was momentarily dumbfounded. Even she didn’t dare claim she could withstand a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s attack.

Chong Xiao and Zhang Yunyi were less shocked than Sikong Lingxi because they knew Chen Nan was a prodigy and wouldn’t die so easily.

Chen Nan didn’t die, relying entirely on his robust physique, but the attack gravely injured him. Looking toward Wang Xiang, not far off, his vision was stained with blood.

"No wonder so many couldn’t kill you; you’re tough to kill, but this is your end."

Wang Xiang was slightly surprised. The previous strike had been his full force. Although he was only at the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm now, even Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn’t withstand it.

He assumed Chen Nan had some lifesaving item. Then, with a sealing technique, the earth surged, and countless clods of mud and stone quickly formed into two ferocious lions.

The lions seemed to come alive, sweeping up dust in the air as they charged at Chen Nan from the left and right, their gaping maws biting into him, with sharp claws nearly disemboweling him.

What he took pride in—his body—at this moment merely prolonged his life to endure more torment.

Chen Nan gripped the upper jaws of the two lions tightly, glancing at the distant Chong Xiao, Zhang Yunyi, and Sikong Lingxi. He knew staying here meant not only would he die but also implicate them.

So he summoned Sword Chenyuan and struck one lion on the head, then swung it furiously at the other.

The furious strength combined with Sword Chenyuan’s terrifying weight shattered the two lions into a shower of dust and sand. Yet the dust quickly coalesced again, forming two new lions in the blink of an eye.

No matter how many times they were smashed, they could always be reborn from the earth!
