Human Clan Defender-Chapter 842 - 19-20: Heavens in Palm (2-in-1)

The calm Candle Sect.

With two challenge letters, it instantly became lively.

"Have you heard? Zhongshan Qiu plans to challenge both Zhongshan Sheng and Zhongshan Ping, the two direct disciples, at once!"

"Who in the Candle Sect doesn't know this news? It's already spread everywhere."

"A challenge among direct disciples hasn't occurred for some time, but it's unexpected that this time Zhongshan Qiu actually dares to fight two at once."

"There aren't many direct disciples who have problems with their minds; Senior Brother Qiu might truly have some confidence—"

The disciples of the Candle Sect, upon receiving the news, couldn't stop discussing.

Direct disciples!

Not everyone is qualified to earn the title of direct disciple.

Only the beings of the Zhongshan Clan, as well as geniuses who enter the God Realm within a millennium, are eligible to become direct disciples.

One could say.

Direct disciples.

Are not only symbols of strength, but also of talent.

Bam!!

In a side hall, a teacup was smashed heavily onto the ground, shards scattering everywhere.

A young man, ordinary-looking, with a vicious and frightening expression, spoke through gritted teeth.

"Zhongshan Qiu, what audacity!"

He didn't expect.

The opponent to be so brazen as to dare to challenge both himself and Zhongshan Ping with a single challenge letter.

At this moment.

In front of him, a middle-aged man appeared somewhat terrified, yet slightly worried.

"Peak Master, Zhongshan Qiu has been dormant for a long time, and now upon emergence dares to challenge the Peak Master and Direct Disciple Ping – he must have some underlying assurance. This matter should be approached with caution."

"I naturally understand."

Zhongshan Sheng's eyes remained cold.

"Last time I heard his idol collapsed, I thought he was about to die, but unexpectedly he's returned alive, and now he even issues a challenge letter to us, clearly he has some assurance. However, if he has assurance, does it mean I don't? Facing two, ha, does he truly think we direct disciples are like those menial attendants outside!"

What angered him was not Zhongshan Qiu's challenge towards himself.

Challenges among direct disciples, though not common, are not strange happenings either.

Especially among powerhouses of the same realm, occasionally there would be a challenge or two.

What truly enraged Zhongshan Sheng.

Was Zhongshan Qiu challenging not only him, but also Zhongshan Ping simultaneously.

In other words.

The opponent intends to take on two.

Both being direct disciples.

Zhongshan Qiu deciding to take on two at once clearly disregards them.

No matter who it's aimed at, this is a matter of losing face.

After the anger subsided.

Zhongshan Sheng calmed down a bit, then looked at the person before him: "Go and investigate, see what he's truly up to."

"Yes!"

——

While Zhongshan Sheng was angry, another direct disciple reacted similarly, even going as far as releasing statements, claiming to kill Zhongshan Qiu directly on stage.

This announcement stirred the emotions of the Candle Sect disciples yet again.

However.

For Shen Changqing, these matters were hardly worth attention.

What they wanted to kill was Zhongshan Qiu, which had no relevance to him, Shen Changqing.

Moreover.

To fight two at once is not simple by itself.

To succeed, a different approach is necessary.

Currently.

Shen Changqing looked at his own status panel; although there was quite a lot of Slaughter Value, it was still somewhat lacking in elevating his own strength.

Moreover.

Having transformed into Zhongshan Qiu's origin, he couldn't utilize his own existing powers, otherwise the origin would dissipate on its own.

"Unable to utilize my former powers, comparing now to the original Zhongshan Qiu, my sole advantage lies in the flesh. My flesh has long been forged through hardship, in terms of flesh strength, uncertain of a Divine King, but within God Realm, few could stand against me. Yet, relying solely on the flesh advantage, suppressing one direct disciple is feasible. To suppress two is not as straightforward—"

Shen Changqing contemplated.

No one who becomes a direct disciple is weak.

Even with some strength disparity, to suppress two at once is not an easy feat at all.

If.

The Heaven and Earth Slash could be utilized, then with a perfected First Grade divine skill, suppressing two wouldn't pose much difficulty.

However—

Currently, the Heavens Myriad Clans are all pursuing Blade Path powerhouses; exhibiting Heaven and Earth Slash now is practically exposing oneself.

"The realm cannot be elevated for now, the foundation cannot be exposed either, my sole approach resides in divine skills. Heaven and Earth Slash being a Blade Path divine ability must remain concealed for now; other divine skills are what I can utilize. The Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger and Cloud-Transforming Finger are good options, but if Candle Sect's own divine skills could be utilized, that would be ideal."

Shen Changqing reviewed himself, and gradually formed some ideas.

Actually, even using Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger and Cloud-Transforming Finger might likely result in no issues.

But for safety's sake, it's naturally better to avoid using one's own original abilities if possible.

Within Candle Sect, divine skills also exist.

Upon obtaining the origin memory of Zhongshan Qiu, he could also comprehend those divine skills from the opponent's memory.

However.

Though possessing divine skill memories, they didn't appear reflected on the status panel.

Regarding this, Shen Changqing retained some conjectures.

Firstly: When obtaining origin memory, any martial arts divine skills within the opponent's memory cannot be recorded by the panel.

Secondly: Outer Clan martial arts divine skills cannot be recorded by the panel.

Between the two.

He actually leaned towards the former.

But what the actual situation was, Shen Changqing had not had the chance to test.

Now having the time.

Could naturally attempt testing it.

The Candle Sect, as a sect, has places for storing cultivation techniques and divine skills, but as a direct disciple, Zhongshan Qiu himself also holds corresponding divine skills.
