Chapter 153: Betting Fight (2)

“Attack!”

Blade strikes began to fly left and right across the battlefield.

Battles between martial artists weren't as flashy as battles between Origin Qi Scholars. Their confrontations were bloody and direct, and power and bravery determined the outcome of the battle.

With the support of Blood of a Warrior, Su Chen's martial artists were filled with boldness. The battle had just started and blood was already flying through the air.

With but a single charge, the Lin Clan's martial artists were forced back. Lin Fengtang felt his heart tighten.

He furiously tried to comfort himself. The Origin Qi Scholars were still there! The Origin Qi Scholars were still there!

Yes, compared to those Body Tempering martial artists, the twenty Qi Drawing Realm cultivators were his true source of hope.

He had specifically chosen these twenty Qi Drawing Realm cultivators. They were the strongest ones within the whole Lin Residence at their cultivation tier, and some of them were even elites that had awakened their bloodlines.

At this moment, the Origin Qi Scholars began to attack.

The twenty Origin Qi Scholars attacked, causing waves of thunderous sword light and freezing blade light to soar through the air. Illusory images of beasts also appeared; tigers howled and hawks shrieked. These twenty people put out a wave of Origin Energy that was clearly much more powerful than what the other one hundred and eighty martial artists had been able to achieve.

Even Lin Fengtang was silently rejoicing. The combat strength of the subordinates he had chosen truly didn't disappoint.

Even so, a stone shell suddenly appeared around those martial artists just a moment later.

The Origin Qi Scholars' attacks landed on that stony shell, chipping off shards of rock but totally unable to injure their opponents. On the other hand, those martial artists continued to furiously swing their blades like mad, making it so that those Origin Qi Scholars' barriers were unable to endure this flurry of attacks. They were quickly forced back again.

Lin Fengtang's expression sank. He turned around and asked Su Chen, “What is that?”

“Cliffrock Armor,” Su Chen laughed in response. “What do you think? Pretty good, right?”

Lin Fengtang harrumphed, “It seems pretty good, but wanting to fend off the Origin Qi Scholars with just that isn't going to be enough.”

As he spoke, those Origin Qi Scholars simultaneously raised their hands to the skies. A vast wave of flames surged forward.

Even though the Cliffrock Armor could defend against the attacks of physical weapons, it was much less effective against elemental attacks. The martial artists didn't dare fight this wave of flames had-on, and it unprecedentedly stopped the charge of these martial artists in its tracks.

When Lin Fengtang saw this, he sighed with relief and thought to himself, “Origin Qi Scholars are still Origin Qi Scholars. How could a bunch of martial artists, even with Origin Skills, defeat them?”

Even so, an instant later, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

Those martial artists seemed to transform again. A wave of frost began to emanate from their bodies with them at the center, slamming into the wave of flames and

The gap in strength could be observed at this moment. In terms of Origin Energy purity, those Qi Drawing Realm cultivators were much more powerful than the Body Tempering martial artists. If it was a one-on-one battle, the Origin Qi Scholars would win without question.

The main issue was that Su Chen had two hundred martial artists on his side and outnumbered them ten to one. He had forcefully seized the advantage.

In the blink of an eye, the frost suppressed the flames, not only completely extinguishing them but also continuing to surge forward and encasing a large number of Origin Qi Scholars in ice.

Next, a red glow began to emanate from the martial artists again as fireball after fireball appeared in the air.

Fireball Technique!

The simple and practical fireball technique appeared above these martial artists, but they burned with a shocking intensity.

Two hundred fireballs simultaneously flew forth, making it seem like they were about to cover the whole sky.

Those twenty Qi Drawing Realm cultivators simultaneously howled, activating their barriers.

They had lost their previously scornful attitude and focused all of their attention on blocking this wave of attacks.

Boom, boom, boom!

The fireballs exploded in rapid succession, and those twenty Qi Drawing Realm cultivators were blasted flying. The Lin Clan's other martial artists were even more doomed. A couple of the martial artists who were making more trouble were killed immediately, serving their use as cannon powder.

Lin Fengtang's face couldn't be any paler. “How…… how could they have so many Origin Skills? How many do they know?”

Su Chen smiled slightly. “Not too many. Only seven or so. There are two more that they know – one is a position-swapping technique, allowing them to teleport short distances, and the other is a speed regeneration technique, allowing them to recover from their wounds faster.

When he heard this, Lin Fengtang felt a chill run up his spine. He knew that he had completely lost this battle.

A normal Qi Drawing Realm cultivator only controlled three to five Origin Skills and wouldn't learn too many all at once.

The martial artists before him, on the other hand, who hadn't even become fully-fledged Qi Drawing Realm cultivators yet, possessed seven Origin Skills. How could they possibly fight these people?”

“What skill is that?” Lin Fengtang asked.

Lin Fengtang had initially been too invested in the outcome of the battle, but it wasn't until he knew that he was going to be defeated that he realized the shocking power of Su Chen's “secret technique”.

Giving a normal martial artist seven Origin Skills was basically equivalent to directly creating an Origin Qi Scholar. This really was shocking news.

“Hemolytic Totem,” Su Chen replied calmly. “This is a kind of supplementary technique that utilizes the Ferocious Race's Totemic Inscriptions and medicine.”

“So it's the Ferocious Race's Totemic Inscriptions!” Lin Fengtang was enlightened. “You actually deciphered the Ferocious Race's Totemic Inscriptions!?”

“It wasn't very hard. The difficult part was improving it.” Su Chen explained his observations of the Ferocious Race's Totemic Inscriptions while he was in the Goldwater Ruins.

The battle was still going on, but he and Lin Fengtang had begun to chat.

Lin Fengtang's attention was being strung along by Su Chen's words. He didn't notice that at all. Instead, he said, “So that's how it is. So you were trying all along to make it so that humans could rely on these Totemic Inscriptions to control Origin Energy…… Wait a minute!”

Lin Fengtang thought of something and yelled, “These martial artists obviously aren't Origin Qi Scholars! How can they use Origin Skills?”

“That's one of the flaws of the Hemolytic Totem. Unless the totems were formed from refined Origin Substances, a Hemolytic Totem would need to be activated by blood Qi. I spent a lot of time researching this without any breakthroughs, but one day when I was growing impatient abd couldn't get it to work with Origin Energy, I would just use it on normal martial artists. Perhaps they would become a trump card at some point in the future. In reality, that line of thinking was the same as admitting defeat, one borne out of desperation.”

“So these martial artists are just failed byproducts of your experiment?” Lin Fengtang was stunned when he heard this.

“Not completely. Three years ago, I finally made a breakthrough in my research of the Hemolytic Totem. I succeeded in constructing a Hemolytic Totem that consumed 90% blood Qi and 10% Origin Energy. Originally, I didn't think that my totemic martial artists would be of any use, but now there was a ray of hope. However, this also posed a problem, which was how martial artists could possibly utilize Origin Energy. How do you think I resolved that problem?”

“…… Origin Stones?” Lin Fengtang asked.

“That's right,” Su Chen chuckled. “A single Origin Stone was enough. After this, my research became much more straightforward. At this point, Origin Energy is 50% of the consumption, and the martial artists you see before you are perfect examples of this. They have the Hemolytic Totem drawn on them, and are expending their own blood Qi and Origin Energy in equal measure.”

“So that's how it is,” Lin Fengtang understood.

Having reached this point, he no longer had any suspicions, and he also no longer had any confidence in continuing to do battle.

He yelled loudly, “Stop! Let's all stop fighting! We surrender!”
