Chapter 153: Explosive! The Strongest Battle Approaches

Chen Ye's intuition wasn't something he just made up.

Ever since he stepped out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he had this premonition.

And as his strength continued to grow, this feeling became even stronger.

The intuition of a powerful cultivator is often very accurate!

Chen Ye planned to ask the top-tier experts if they had the same sensation…

The next day.

The 13th round of the Global Tournament began.

[This is your randomly assigned opponent for the 13th round. Will you accept the challenge?]

The prompt on the holographic panel was now reduced to a single line.

Below the prompt was the image of his opponent.

When Chen Ye saw the image on the panel, he was momentarily stunned, then a smile crept across his face. He selected "Accept!"

"Chen Ye, who is your opponent this time?" Old Liu asked eagerly.

Everyone turned to look at Chen Ye.

Cao Yu, noticing the smile on Chen Ye's face, immediately spoke up: "Look at Old Chen, all smiles. I bet he's got a relatively weak opponent this round."

Old Liu shook his head and said, "At this stage, there are no weak opponents left. Aside from Chen Ye, the only ones remaining are Martial God, Lady Qin, Chairman Ba, Samir, and the so-called War God, Alekseyev!"

"To put it bluntly, every one of these individuals is a supreme powerhouse capable of safeguarding the fate of a nation. Weakness has nothing to do with it."

Cao Yu quickly corrected himself, "Okay, okay! I misspoke. What I meant was that Chen's opponent this round is relatively less formidable compared to the others."

Old Liu turned his gaze toward Chen Ye.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Cao Yu is right. My luck's been good—I'm facing the Martial God this round!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in shock.

"Holy crap!" Cao Yu shouted, "You call that good luck?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Ye laughed, "I was planning to forfeit anyway, but since it's the Martial God, I must challenge him and see how strong the legendary 'Void Breaker, Invulnerable to Gods' really is."

Upon hearing this, Old Liu hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Chen Ye, since you were already planning to forfeit, there's no need to take this risk. With your talent, surpassing the Martial God is only a matter of time."

Zhao Zheng also chimed in, "Teacher is right, Senior Brother. The Martial God is a seasoned figure who has dominated the national secret realm championships for many years, while your journey is just beginning. There's no need to risk it."

Risk?

Chen Ye didn't even go all out when he fought that so-called "strongest creature on earth," using at most seventy percent of his strength.

Even if the Martial God is a level above Yujiro Hanma, he couldn't be that much stronger…

Chen Ye didn't bother explaining and simply said, "The Martial God seems like a decent person. He's been holding back against his opponents all this time. I doubt there'll be any real danger in a simple spar."

Seeing Chen Ye's determination, everyone realized he had made up his mind, and they stopped trying to dissuade him.

Old Liu said, "Since you've decided, I won't say much more. Just remember, your safety comes first. Your talent is invaluable. If things go south, don't hesitate to admit defeat."

"Understood!" Chen Ye agreed.

…

The 13th round of the tournament.

There were only three matches.

These would directly decide the top three competitors.

As long as you advanced, the worst outcome would still be third place.

The first match was between Qin Muyin and Samir, the top-tier expert from India.

Samir had never made it into the top three of the national secret realm before, while Qin Muyin had even taken second place at times. So this match didn't seem to hold much suspense.

And that turned out to be the case.

Though Samir was incredibly strong, able to send sword beams flying across the stage and even splitting the entire platform in two with one swing—like something straight out of a sci-fi movie—the attack couldn't penetrate Qin Muyin's telekinetic shield.

When Qin Muyin shattered the platform into countless massive stones and levitated them above Samir's head, he quickly conceded before the rocks could fall.

Qin Muyin advanced to the top three!

Next up were Chairman Ba Limin and the Russian "War God" Alekseyev!

Alekseyev's hero talent was the same as Shiwu Monk, S11.

However, he was several times stronger than Shiwu!

If Shiwu Monk represented the best S11 talent in the country, Alekseyev was globally recognized as the number one in defense.

His title of "War God" wasn't just for show.

Rumor had it that Alekseyev once withstood a missile strike with his bare body and emerged completely unharmed…

Unfortunately for him, he faced a top-tier martial arts expert in this match.

It's no exaggeration to say that someone like Alekseyev, with his impenetrable exterior, had one true nemesis: elite martial artists.

Chairman Ba's internal energy could bypass Alekseyev's thick skin and directly target his internal organs!

On a battlefield, Alekseyev would be far more effective than Chairman Ba.

Not even fifth-tier monsters could hurt him.

Place Alekseyev on a battlefield, and he'd single-handedly hold the line, stopping entire armies.

Even Qin Muyin would likely struggle to take him down.

But in this match, he encountered his natural counter!

Even so, Chairman Ba didn't have an easy victory. It took him over an hour to finally force Alekseyev to admit defeat.

Chairman Ba successfully advanced.

…

Sharp-eyed spectators noticed that two teams from the Xia Kingdom had now made it to the top three in the Global Tournament.

This was unprecedented.

Soon, the third match began!

[Please prepare yourself. You are about to enter the arena!]

Chen Ye stood up after receiving the prompt and stepped directly through the portal, arriving on the stage.

The Martial God did the same.

When these two appeared in the arena, the spirits of countless spectators were lifted! The tournament had gone on for quite some time now.

Even though the Martial God hadn't revealed his true strength, all the spectators had heard of his terrifying power. They knew him as the long-reigning champion of the Global Secret Realm!

And Chen Ye wasn't lacking either.

The strength he had displayed in his battles against Diana and Yujiro Hanma had shocked everyone.

Many believed that this bald-headed man from the Xia Kingdom had the potential to charge toward the championship.

"I never thought these two powerhouses would meet at this point."

"They both have the strength to compete for the championship, but now one of them will have to be eliminated. What a pity!"

"Who do you think is stronger?"

"I'm betting on the bald guy. His power and speed are terrifying!"

"You fool! The Martial God has held the champion's title for years. He's an absolute monster!"

Before the fight even started, the spectators were already buzzing with excitement, eagerly discussing the match.

And it wasn't just ordinary viewers.

Even the top-tier powerhouses were closely watching these two.

The one most concerned about Chen Ye, however, was none other than Chairman Chen.

"Senior Brother!" Chairman Chen asked anxiously, "Do you think Chen Ye can win against the Martial God?"

"It's hard to say."

Ba Limin stared intently at the stage, not turning his head as he replied, "Breaking the void, invulnerable to gods—he's not to be underestimated! When the Martial God defeated me back then, he didn't even use his full strength."

"But your son is also difficult to see through."

Hearing this, Chairman Chen became even more worried...

...

On the stage.

The Martial God didn't attack immediately but instead began to chat with Chen Ye, seemingly intrigued.

"I heard you have the S1 talent?"

His Chinese was remarkably fluent.

Chen Ye, also curious about the Martial God, nodded and replied, "Yes."

"You're not even twenty, are you?" The Martial God marveled. "To become so powerful in such a short time... S1 talent is truly extraordinary."

Not wanting to dwell on his own talent, Chen Ye asked a question in return, "Martial God, have you ever had the feeling that as your strength grows, the bond with your hero talent becomes stronger? Even to the point where it's hard to describe?"

This was the question that had been bothering Chen Ye the most recently.

He figured that if this mysterious feeling was universal, someone as powerful as the Martial God would surely be the most affected.

To his surprise, the Martial God's elegant face showed confusion. "That phenomenon? I've never felt it."

Chen Ye froze upon hearing this.

There was no reason for the Martial God to lie about this…

So that meant this mysterious feeling was unique to Chen Ye?

He furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.

"It seems something's troubling you," the Martial God said with a smile. "But young man, could you focus on our battle now?"

"I hope you'll give it your all. Show me just how powerful the S1 talent truly is."

Chen Ye snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. "Alright, I'd like to see for myself the mysteries of breaking the void and being invulnerable to gods!"

Hearing this, the Martial God grinned.

"A worthy opponent like you deserves my full strength!"

As he spoke, the Martial God removed his gold-rimmed glasses, took off his suit, followed by his tie, and tossed them all aside.

The next moment!

Something terrifying happened.

The Martial God's aura surged explosively.

It was as if a true deity had awakened, opening eyes that could pierce through the mortal world.

Even the spectators surrounding the stage felt an overwhelming pressure, making it hard to breathe.

And it wasn't over yet.

As the Martial God's aura soared, his body also began to expand and grow taller at an astonishing speed.

"Rip!"

His pants and shirt were torn apart.

In just a few breaths' time.

The Martial God had transformed from a refined man of less than 1.8 meters into a towering giant over 2.5 meters tall, with muscles that resembled steel.

The entire audience was stunned.

Many were so shocked that their minds went blank, unable to comprehend how a human could achieve such a form.

Even the most powerful experts watching stood up in fear.

Including Ba Limin.

At this moment, Chairman Ba stared wide-eyed at the now-giant Martial God, utterly incredulous.

Even Chen Ye, standing on the stage, was shocked.

Good grief!

You can transform too?

Are you sure your talent isn't Ultraman?

"It's been a long time since I've used this form, young man. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
