A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"Give it to me, broken!"

Chen Yue gripped the Heavenly Crimson Hammer tightly with both hands, unleashing a surge of fiery energy and striking the meteor hammer head-on at the opportune moment.

With a loud bang, the two weapons collided, and the powerful source energy instantly created an aftershock.

The towering flames burned even more fiercely the moment they touched the meteor hammer.

The intense heat quickly traveled along the long chain to Xu Jingsong's hands as he touched it.

"Hiss..." Xu Jingsong let out a soft cry, caught off guard, and quickly loosened the long chain.

With a loud boom, the sound spread outwards, causing the surrounding buildings to vibrate and hum.

The martial arts school members, who had been hiding tightly, were trembling with fear at the sight of the two fighting.

Even from behind a pillar, you could clearly feel the intensity of the game.

Each person peeked out, secretly observing the situation on the field.

It was only at this moment that they directly felt the strength of Chen Yue.

Fortunately, it was Xu Jingsong who took the stage, not any of them.

With the power of this hammer blow, killing a peak Qi Condensation cultivator with a single blow would be an easy task.

Now I finally understand why Chen Yue specifically asked for Xu Jingsong, who was at the Spirit Mansion Realm, the moment he stepped into the martial arts school.

At first, the people at the martial arts school thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill, since it was just a friendly sparring match, not a life-or-death battle.

They're all incredibly resilient; those three top-grade items should be theirs to keep.

Looking back now, it was truly a life-risking endeavor!

After hiding behind a pillar and confirming that there was no danger to their lives, they launched into another heated discussion.

"I'm really going! Are the heavenly soldiers really that strong?!"

"Do you even know how to speak? Is it that Tianbing is strong? It's clearly that Young Master Chen Yue is too strong!"

"I thought Young Master Chen Yue had gone mad. He not only didn't dodge Boss Xu's attack, but he also tried to take it head-on!"

"You didn't expect that, did you? Who would have thought he could actually take it?!"

"Look at Xu Ge's expression! He's starting to question his existence!"

At this moment, Xu Jingsong was truly questioning the meaning of life.

His move, Shattering Mountains and Rivers, could easily kill a peak-stage Condensation Realm expert, and even severely injure an early-stage Spirit Mansion expert.

But now it was actually blocked by a young master of the Chen family who was at the Condensation Realm, and he didn't even dodge, but just endured it.

Xu Jingsong knew that the Heavenly Crimson Hammer in Chen Yue's hand was of Heavenly Soldier level, but it couldn't be this outrageous.

This was his strongest attack as a Spirit Mansion Realm cultivator, and the weapon was of a high level. With the support of his full source power, he could briefly reach the Earth Soldier rank.

Just moments ago I was full of confidence, now I look completely bewildered.

"This is truly, so unexpected..."

The two weapons remained locked in mid-air, neither Chen Yue nor Xu Jingsong.

Neither side wanted to give up, and if either side fell into a disadvantageous position, it would mean losing the battle.

Xu Jingsong was unwilling to accept this. He was, after all, a Spirit Mansion Realm expert, a well-known figure in Jiangcheng.

He mobilized all the source power within the Source Sea and focused it all on the Mysterious Meteor Hammer.

Xu Jingsong's source energy, which was already quite limited, was completely drained after this incident.

If he couldn't defeat the Heavenly Crimson Hammer, having lost all his means, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.

Chen Yue exerted all his strength, keeping his feet firmly on the ground without moving.

"It's quite tough; this aura is probably approaching that of a low-level soldier."

"Unfortunately, it was facing the Celestial Crimson Hammer."

The sense of pressure that Xu Jingsong exerted on Chen Yue was not entirely absent, but it was not significant.

Especially after enduring that attack, Chen Yue felt incredibly relieved.

What seemed like a powerful attack turned into nothing more than a flashy display under Chen Yue's Heavenly Crimson Hammer.

After a short while, the two weapons, which had been locked in a stalemate in mid-air for a long time, finally changed course.

A series of crisp cracking sounds reached everyone's ears.

Tiny crystals fell from the sky to the ground.

Although the sound wasn't loud, it seemed particularly jarring in the quiet setting.

Chen Yue's Heavenly Crimson Hammer was forged from Crimson Spirit Iron and contained absolutely no crystals.

Therefore, the weapon that was damaged could only be Xu Jingsong's Xuanbing Meteor Hammer.

The spikes were already damaged before the attack.

Once again clashing with Chen Yue's heavenly soldiers, damage was simply unavoidable, and Xu Jingsong was already mentally prepared.

Plop, plop, one piece after another of broken crystals and spirit iron fell to the ground.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Xu Jingsong still felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this scene.

The Xuanbing Meteor Hammer was damaged, and the source energy attached to it was rapidly dissipating.

Only when the source power that Xu Jingsong had added was completely exhausted did the meteor hammer, which was suspended in mid-air, lose its power and fall to the ground.

With a bang, the ground was still left with a large crater.

With both sides' weapons damaged, the outcome of this exchange was already obvious.

The dark red flames burning on the Heavenly Crimson Hammer quietly died down, and the remaining source energy returned to Chen Yue's source sea.

Xu Jingsong walked slowly to the meteor hammer, squatted down, and reached out to touch it.

The crystal they were looking for required a lot of effort to find a weapon refiner.

He repaired his Xuanbing weapon and upgraded it to the quality of a high-level Xuanbing weapon.

A sparring match with Chen Yue not only destroyed the crystal, but also caused the meteor hammer's original spirit iron to break into pieces of scrap iron.

"It's really tough on you to go head-to-head with a heavenly soldier."

Xu Jingsong stood up and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to Chen Yue.

“Young Master Chen Yue, I, Xu, have lost this sparring match.”

His tone was calm, without any hint of dissatisfaction.

A loss is a loss; there's no point in making excuses.

Xu Jingsong felt relieved the moment he heard the meteor hammer shatter.

Losing to a junior is nothing to be ashamed of.

Moreover, losing to Chen Yue is even less shameful.

Chen Yue's strength has made him famous in Jiangcheng after this Chen Family Grand Competition.

The Crimson Hammer of Heaven transformed into a ball of fire and returned to the hammer-shaped mark on the back of Chen Yue's hand.

Chen Yue walked towards Xu Jingsong and bowed slightly in front of him.

"Mr. Xu, you flatter me."

Xu Jingsong laughed heartily, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Young Master Chen Yue is too kind. There's no need for such politeness. I gave it my all."

"I never expected that even using the technique of 'Shattering Mountains and Rivers' wouldn't be enough to win this sparring match."

"Young Master Chen Yue, you truly deserve the title of a chosen one of heaven."

Hearing these words of praise, Chen Yue immediately replied, "Mr. Xu, you flatter me."

"What kind of chosen one of heaven? Without this heavenly weapon, I have no confidence that I can defeat you."

Xu Jingsong smiled and said, "Young Master Chen Yue is too modest."

After the battle ended, the martial arts practitioners who had been hiding behind the pillar dared to cautiously leave this protective pillar that provided them with a sense of security.

"Is it... over?"

"Young Master Chen Yue has won. My judgment was indeed correct."

"The Xuanbing Meteor Hammer is all shattered on the ground. The price for this sparring match is a bit too high."

"It's alright even if it's broken. Young Master Chen Yue promised to help repair it, and besides, there are six high-grade spirit stones. Boss Xu is guaranteed to make a profit."
