Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 23 Reactions from All Sides, Another Battle

As Jiang Chen stepped out of the challenge room, he saw that all eyes were once again focused on him.

Shock, confusion, joy, closeness... a mix of emotions created chaos in the hall.

"Jiang Chen, congratulations!"

"Jiang Chen, you'll have to treat us to dinner tonight."

"Haha, Luo Feng defeated William from Europe, and Jiang Chen, you defeated Rao from America! You two new recruits are the pride of our Hanxia Kingdom!"

Luo Feng was also very happy and stepped forward: "Senior Brother Jiang Chen, this is wonderful!"

Chu Qiang patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, Jiang Chen."

Shi Jiang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Jiang Chen, don't take what I said before the challenge to heart."

"Senior Brother Shi Jiang, you're doing this for my own good. After all, no one could have predicted that I would be able to defeat Rao before the battle results were in," Jiang Chen comforted him.

On the other side, Eminem Lorenzo's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Impossible! How could Rao lose?"

"Is Jiang Chen really that strong?"

"No! I can't let this go. I have to win it back. I can't just give up like this."

As he spoke, he looked at Sissoko beside him.

"Sissoko, are you confident you can beat Jiang Chen?"

Sissoko frowned: "I just asked Rao, and he couldn't even last ten moves against Jiang Chen. His strength is extraordinary, and he's a formidable opponent even for me."

"Sissoko, I want you to deal with Jiang Chen!"

Emine Lorenzo said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Of course, no problem. Being able to clash with such a strong opponent is extremely valuable, regardless of the outcome. But what about the stakes for the challenge?"

Sissoko looked at Eminem Lorenzo, his meaning clear.

Challenging Jiang Chen is possible, but the stakes remain the same: Eminem Lorenzo must pay.

"Okay, this time I'm prepared 20 billion as a bet! Sissoko, you absolutely must win!"

Eminem Lorenzo gritted his teeth and agreed, even adding an extra 100 billion, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.

"I can't guarantee anything, I can only do my best."

Sissoko looked at Jiang Chen with a serious expression, no longer showing the same disdain as before.

"Jiang Chen, although you won this battle, I'm not satisfied! I want to fight you again. Do you dare to accept?"

Jiang Chen was talking with Luo Feng and the others when Emi Lorenzo walked over, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

"Sure, I'm always ready to play, as long as your stakes are high enough."

Jiang Chen agreed immediately.

"Very well, that's enough. This time, I'll wager 20 billion, and your opponent is Sissoko!"

Emine Lorenzo pointed to the tall, burly man beside him.

"Sissoko, a top player who ranked eighth on the leaderboard last month, and not just for a month, but consistently within the top ten, is far stronger than Rao. Does Jiang Chen dare to accept?"

The other trainees, who were about to leave after the battle ended, were surprised to find that there was more to see and gathered around again.

"Sissoko has been in the training camp for over four years and is about to graduate, while Jiang Chen has only just entered the elite training camp. This is completely unfair. If you want to challenge him, let me do it!"

Shi Jiang stepped forward and said with dissatisfaction.

His strength ranks among the top five in the elite training camp, and he is not afraid even when facing Chu Qiang, Renates, and others.

Emi Lorenzo did not back down at all, insisting: "I will only challenge Jiang Chen, no one else will do."

"Jiang Chen, you were so confident just now, are you scared now?"

"Jiang Chen, you can simply refuse him; there's no need to pay him any attention."

Chu Qiang stepped forward and offered his advice.

Meanwhile, Renates on the opposite side remained silent, keeping his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

Ever since Jiang Chen defeated Rao and walked out of the challenge room, he has been observing Jiang Chen, trying to figure out Jiang Chen's true strength.

Now that Eminem Lorenzo is doing exactly what he wants, he naturally won't object, but will let him do as he pleases.

"Since you're so eager to send me money, I'll agree."

Jiang Chen's words caused an uproar among those present.

"Jiang Chen actually agreed!"

"He's insane! Jiang Chen is absolutely insane. He hasn't even been in this training camp for a month, and he's already challenging the top ten on the leaderboard. Whether he wins or loses this battle, it will leave a lasting mark on the entire elite training camp."

"If he really wins, it will probably be a unique achievement in the history of the elite training camp."

"It's impossible for him to win. The students who can consistently stay in the top ten of the points rankings are all incredibly strong, far beyond what Rao can compare to. Jiang Chen's chances of winning this battle are very, very low."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"What if! Just now, when Jiang Chen fought Rao, none of you were optimistic about his chances, but he still won. Now you still don't think he'll win, but I think Jiang Chen has a very good chance of winning."

"Very good, I didn't expect you to actually agree, Jiang Chen."

Eminem Lorenzo was somewhat surprised and a little uneasy that Jiang Chen had agreed to the challenge again.

However, there's no turning back once the arrow is released, and they can only rely on Sissoko to defeat Jiang Chen.

That way, he could not only avenge his previous defeat, but also earn back the 10 billion he lost, and even make an additional 10 billion.

"I will give it my all in this battle."

Sissoko looked at Jiang Chen and said very seriously.

"I hope you can let me show my true strength."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he and Sissoko entered the challenge room, put on their helmets again, and entered the virtual space.

The virtual space scene this time is a vast football field.

The grass was crisp and soft, glistening with dewdrops. Jiang Chen stood before him, holding his battle sword in both hands.

Opposite him, Sissoko held a giant hammer, his muscles bulging.

boom!

Without exchanging a single word, the two immediately began fighting.

The giant hammer, chained together, clanged as it fell like a falling meteor.

The battle blade blazed fiercely and domineeringly, its wide and sweeping movements clashing head-on with the giant hammer, sparks flying and white shockwaves sweeping across the battlefield.

"I never imagined your strength was so remarkable!"

When Sissoko saw that his most powerful strength was completely ineffective against Jiang Chen, he was greatly surprised.

The hammer technique he practiced was called the Meteor Hammer Technique, which was known for its power. Although it was not as powerful as the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, it was still extremely formidable.

Each level increases one's power amplitude by 0.5 times, and reaching the maximum of ten levels increases one's power amplitude by 5 times.

He has now cultivated to the eighth level, and his power amplitude has reached four times, which is enough to rank him in the top three even in the entire elite training camp.

He once fought a life-or-death battle with other students. With a single blow, no one dared to confront him and could only choose to avoid him.

But now, Jiang Chen met him head-on, and his strength was in no way inferior, which surprised him and made him feel extremely happy.

"Haha, this is what a real battle is like! Keep going, come on!"

The steel hammer, dense in texture, whistled through the air, striking one blow after another like meteors falling from the sky, generating intense heat waves that filled the minds of the opponents.

Clearly, Sissoko's hammer technique has also reached the realm of artistic conception.
