“He, he actually defeated Ouyang Chen.” On the seating area to the right of the main platform, Shangguan Tong’s heart trembled fiercely.
All along, she had not held much hope for Lin Xiao, pulling Lin Xiao over to participate in the battle merely to have Lin Xiao consume the opponent.
After all, when encountering the spirit boar and dealing with the spirit beast group, Lin Xiao had already revealed his strength, it was just that of a very ordinary, very ordinary sixth-level Martial Monarch.
She had also personally tested Lin Xiao’s strength.
But who would have thought that Lin Xiao back then had actually hidden his strength, and hidden it quite deeply.
It was laughable that when she had probed Lin Xiao’s strength back then, she had even told Lin Xiao to attack her with full force.
If Lin Xiao had attacked her with full force at that time, she would probably have been spouting blood on the spot, right?
Even Ouyang Chen, who had stepped into the sixth-grade mid-level spiritual power realm, was not his opponent, so how could she be Lin Xiao’s opponent?
And what made her excited and delighted was that Lin Xiao had defeated Ouyang Chen, their Shangguan family had not lost, instead they had won the bet, she did not have to marry into the Ouyang family, did not have to marry Ouyang Chen, did not have to demean herself and live subserviently in the enemy family.
At this moment, Shangguan Tong almost felt like hot tears were about to well up in her eyes.
Shangguan Rui’s face also bore thick surprise, it seemed he had misjudged, such a powerful youth had actually been overlooked by him.
Lu Ze and the group who had travelled with Lin Xiao were also utterly shocked.
“This, how is this possible?” Shangguan Yu’s face was full of disbelief, Lin Xiao possessed such powerful combat strength, yet he had dared to go before Lin Xiao and despise the other party?
“How is it possible, how can you possibly possess such powerful strength!” In the void, Ouyang Chen who had stopped his body felt like his inner world was on the verge of collapse, he could not help but shout out loud.
As the number one spiritual controller genius of the Ouyang family, with powerful combat strength at the same level, even capable of cross-level battles, having just broken through one level of spiritual power, reaching a height that the youth generation in this region found difficult to match.
He was about to marry Shangguan Tong, and would also be selected by the elders of the Spirit Phoenix Valley, entering the Spirit Phoenix Valley, from then on soaring to the skies, living freely and happily.
However, just as he was brimming with high spirits, he was defeated by someone.
The person who defeated him was only twenty years old, still a vital cultivator, an external aid from the Shangguan family whom he disdained to even glance at.
This made him truly unable to accept the facts before his eyes.
However, Lin Xiao’s next response to him almost made him spit blood: “How is it possible, how can your strength be so weak?”
“I thought your strength was very strong, I did not expect your strength to be so weak, sorry, I struck a bit too heavily.” Lin Xiao added.
“Pfft!”
Ouyang Chen could not help but spray out a mouthful of blood, his eyes glaring furiously at Lin Xiao.
This Lin Xiao was absolutely doing it on purpose.
“Admit defeat, you are not my opponent.” Lin Xiao waved his hand, with an air of disdain.
This almost made Ouyang Chen explode with rage, as the number one genius of the Ouyang family’s generation, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
“Hahaha, we won, our Shangguan family won!”
“I never expected it, I never expected it, he is actually the strongest one our Shangguan family sent out.”
“We all misjudged, he is the saviour of our Shangguan family!”
“This time, the people of the Ouyang family must all want to spit blood, hahaha.”
Outside the battlefield, the Shangguan family members who had come back to their senses all became excited one after another, various laughter and hearty voices rising and falling everywhere.
First Shangguan Yu had domineeringly given them hope, then lost to Fu Ren and made them disappointed, then Shangguan Tong had given them hope, and it was shattered by Ouyang Chen.
Now, Lin Xiao had defeated Ouyang Chen again, giving them hope once more, this ups and downs made their moods feel like a rollercoaster.
Finally winning made it feel even more exhilarating.
The people of the Ouyang family all had extremely ugly expressions, unable to accept this fact, their moods were also ups and downs, but in the end, it was their Ouyang family that lost.
At the same time, hearing the voices coming from all over the Shangguan family, Ouyang Chen became even more furious, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiao as if about to spew fire, he said in deep anger: “This is you forcing my hand!”
With that said, Ouyang Chen took out a weapon from his storage ring.
This weapon was a square iron block half a metre thick and half a zhang long, the iron block was pitch black, with nothing particularly special about it.
However, after Ouyang Chen infused it with spiritual power, it was as if energy was burning inside the iron block, the entire iron block turned red.
Terrifying flame energy ignited from the iron block, the flames continuously expanded, the diameter of the flames soon reached over twenty zhang, a frightening scorching aura permeated the heavens and earth, filling the surrounding dozens of li.
The people in the seating area all felt the sweltering heat, as if the tables and chairs were about to combust.
Seeing the scene before him, Shangguan Xiong’s eyes immediately widened, shocked to the point of almost standing up: “Energy weapon, Ouyang Chen can actually activate your Ouyang family’s energy weapon!”
“If not, how would I dare to bet the Purple Ginseng Medicine Mountain?” Ouyang Chen revealed a proud and mocking expression again.
Your luck is good, the Lin Xiao you picked is very strong, right?
But no matter how strong, so what? Could he be stronger than an energy weapon?
“Energy weapon!” Lin Xiao in the void also had his pupils contract, staring fixedly at the weapon ahead, a thick shock flashing in his heart.
Energy weapons are made by incorporating energy materials or infusing large amounts of energy into materials that can contain corresponding energies during refining.
For example, energy weapons with flame energy might use Yanxing Iron that can contain flame energy, incorporating high-rank spirit beast spirit cores with flame attributes for refining.
It could also be made by using Yanxing Iron to absorb magma in lava for refining.
Or it could be refined by extracting flame energy and infusing it into Yanxing Iron in a heaven and earth filled with large amounts of flame energy.
Energy weapons are weapons similar to spiritual energies, or used as substitutes for spiritual energies, and when activated, they can erupt with terrifying energy just like spiritual energies.
However, energy weapons differ from spiritual energies.
Spiritual energies are endless heaven and earth energies, the energy does not disappear, does not deplete.
While energy weapons are refined from energy materials or infused energies, once the energy inside is used up, it is gone, at most it can only be used as an ordinary weapon, more often it directly becomes scrap.
Energy weapons generally cannot be used for many attacks.
And the advantage of energy weapons over spiritual energies is that, with the same power, activating an energy weapon erupts with energy far more powerful than activating spiritual energy.
Just like, if Lin Xiao obtained this energy weapon of Ouyang Chen, and activated it, the power erupted would be far stronger than if he activated spiritual energy.
The stronger the power, the greater the power of the activated energy weapon, but the faster the consumption.
If this energy weapon could be activated ten or eight times by Ouyang Chen, then Lin Xiao activating it once might exhaust it.
As for using Lin Xiao’s spiritual power to activate spiritual energy to attack Ouyang Chen activating the energy weapon, which is stronger and which is weaker, that is another matter, after all their spiritual powers are different.
