Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1014 - 1012: Enough, Really Enough (3 more)

A few dozen breaths later.

Su Chen stopped.

He stood there alone, holding a sword. From beginning to end, he maintained a serene smile, his gaze calm, and his lips curled into an amused smirk. Surrounding him, shockingly... there was not a single evil creature left alive.

The boundless fiendish energy, dense to the point of almost solidifying, frantically rippled through the space around Su Chen.

Su Chen took a deep breath, growing increasingly delighted.

"Continue cultivating." Su Chen steadied his emotions and dove back into his cultivation.

Once again, he transformed into a black hole! An endless, devouring black hole!

Time continued to pass.

The spectators remained silent, as if they had all lost their voices. Even as Su Chen quietly cultivated, seemingly dull to watch, everyone still kept their eyes glued to him, too afraid to relax for even a moment.

Zhang Ku, Li Yao, and the other two — traitors who had betrayed the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect to join the Blood Demon Palace — had at some unknown point already knelt before Sheng Yingkun.

No pleas for mercy, only endless kowtowing. They kept knocking their heads against the ground.

The four were completely terrified.

Not only had they betrayed the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, but they had also mocked Su Chen. Once Su Chen emerged from the Evil Sea, what fate awaited them? They didn’t even dare imagine.

All they had left was regret, unfathomable regret, and boundless fear.

Unfortunately, Sheng Yingkun completely ignored their kowtowing. He didn’t even glance at them.

In truth, Moku, Zhang Danhe, and the others weren’t much better off. Their faces were pale, and all that remained was the shadow of despair. They knew full well that their lives were no longer in their own hands — everything depended on Su Chen’s mood. Just one word from him. As for begging for mercy, if pleading worked, if apologies worked, if regret worked, they would be willing to kneel before Sheng Yingkun just like Zhang Ku and the others. But it was useless! Everything depended on Su Chen’s attitude once he left the Evil Sea.

A few shichen later.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes, two rays of concentrated energy bursting forth from them.

The third level!!!

An increase to the third level.

Physical strength.

The "Divine Demon Body Refinement" technique truly defied all logic. As long as there was enough fiendish energy, one’s physical strength could be infinitely enhanced.

Su Chen licked his lips.

Since entering the Evil Sea, it had been only half a day at most. His physical strength had risen by four levels in total, nearly doubling. The direct result was that his combat power had likely tripled!

"Jiuyou, once I’ve fully utilized all the fiendish energy in the Evil Sea, my physical strength should increase by about another level. My combat power could multiply fivefold or so," Su Chen muttered under his breath. "Unbelievable! If only I could find another Evil Sea!"

"Are you trying to kill me... Evil Seas are not something you come across so easily. Millions of years have passed, millions of fiendish creatures have been created, along with countless terrifying formations and more, all just to form a single Evil Sea. Where would you find a second one? If Evil Seas were that easy to obtain, and you could have three or five of them, wouldn’t you practically become invincible in War Ancient Sky?" Jiuyou snorted. "Be content with your luck!"

"Haha... true enough." Su Chen looked slightly embarrassed. He had indeed been a bit too greedy. Encountering even one Evil Sea was already an extraordinary stroke of fortune — it was best not to dwell on it too much. He really ought to thank Moku and the Blood Demon Palace!

They had essentially handed him an enormous gift.

In a way, the value of the Evil Sea to him wasn’t much less than that of the Heaven Earth Battle Tomb!

"Besides the Eastern region, there are also the Southern, Northern, and Western regions, aren’t there? The fiendish energy and evil creatures in those three regions shouldn’t be overlooked either," Su Chen said determinedly, his eagerness already starting to show.

"Don’t rush. Get used to your current strength first, solidify it," Jiuyou advised.

Su Chen’s expression hardened, and he nodded firmly. "Right!"

A solid foundation was crucial; he needed to stabilize his strength.

Every time one had a fortuitous encounter that massively boosted one’s strength in a short period, one should take the time to stabilize and consolidate it — this was a shared understanding between Su Chen and Jiuyou.

Su Chen took a deep breath, banishing all expectations and impatience.

He sat cross-legged on the ground.

He resumed cultivation, starting to stabilize, refine, and reinforce his gains.

Time kept flowing.

A couple of shichen later.

Su Chen was still deep in cultivation.

Suddenly.

In the direction of the Southern region.

Ji Yueqing, after hours of effort and over a hundred precise strikes, finally managed to break off a metal rod from the metallic cage.

"Yes!" Ji Yueqing was ecstatic. Her face gleamed with excitement, her beautiful features alight with triumph. Her bright eyes sparkled as she displayed her Clear Butterfly Technique, moving like an agile butterfly, weaving through the cage’s exterior with bizarre movements. Avoiding the assaults of over a hundred evil creatures outside the cage, she managed to approach the broken metal rod.

Then, with a leap!

Ji Yueqing gracefully and accurately escaped the cage of metal spheres.

The moment she escaped, Ji Yueqing was nearly overcome with joy, almost laughing out loud.

But she held herself back.

Her mind held only one thought: Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate — she wanted to claim first place.

The moment she escaped the cage, hundreds of evil creatures detected her presence.

Instantly, hundreds of them frenziedly, bloodthirstily, cruelly, angrily, violently launched attacks against her.

A flicker of fear flashed across Ji Yueqing’s face. Her delicate figure trembled slightly as she bit her lip, focusing her mind. A scroll from her spatial bag fell into her hands.

She tore the scroll.

In an instant.

Her form suddenly disappeared.

It was a teleportation scroll. Naturally, the effect was limited, allowing her to teleport only a few thousand meters.

But even a few thousand meters was enough!

The moment she ripped the teleportation scroll, Ji Yueqing found herself hovering above the Evil Sea. Though a few creatures had been alerted and followed her, they were some distance away and few in number.

"Clear Butterfly Technique!" Without hesitation, Ji Yueqing turned and launched a soul technique attack on the evil creatures that pursued her, then used her full strength to deploy her Body Technique martial arts, continuing her charge upward.

A few breaths later.

She saw it — she saw the exit.

Excitement burned through Ji Yueqing, her heart pounding in her throat.

She pushed her speed even further.

In the blink of an eye.

Suddenly.

Swish...

She emerged.

She had made it out of the Evil Sea — alive.

Upon exiting.

The first thing Ji Yueqing did was look around her!!!

She had to see if the other participants, like Xuu Chi, Wei Ding, Ye Zhihen, and yes, Su Chen, had made it out before her.

With one glance.

Ji Yueqing’s face filled irrevocably with a beaming smile.

She was first.

Yes!

Absolutely first!

Although the atmosphere on site was a bit strange — as there wasn’t any applause or cheering — to Ji Yueqing, it didn’t matter. Being first was enough. Yes, it was enough.

In an instant, Ji Yueqing straightened her posture, keeping her composure as she elegantly walked toward her mentor, Elderly Hun Qing.

Very quickly.

She stood before Elderly Hun Qing.

Ji Yueqing suppressed her smile, bowing with a mix of pride and respect. "Master!!! Your disciple, unworthy as I am, has succeeded!"

Unfortunately, Elderly Hun Qing uttered not a word, her complexion only growing paler, coupled with a trace of regret and awkwardness.

As for the other martial cultivators in the Martial Training Field, they merely cast disdainful glances at Ji Yueqing. Succeeded? What success, you damned fool! Thinking she had claimed first place? Haha... Ever since Su Chen began his display, there was no longer anything like first, second, or third places — none of them operated on the same level. Competing? Laughable, wasn’t it? Awkward, wasn’t it?

Ji Yueqing froze, puzzled by why her mentor seemed displeased, even indifferent.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Yueqing spoke again, her voice dripping with enthusiasm and excitement. "Master, I defeated that worthless trash Su Chen for you, avenged you, and claimed first place for Misty Soul Sect!"
