Chapter 126: “Go and enjoy your own tricks.”

Chen Xiao didn’t know what the Netherworld Space was, but none of the members of Huaxia Soul around him were unaware of it.
According to legend, any superhuman who entered the Netherworld Space would see their rank rise by at least one level upon returning, and there had never been an exception. Whether it was mental strength, physical power, or spiritual energy, all would improve simultaneously without any deviation.
However, not everyone could enter the Netherworld Space—it was only those who had made tremendous contributions to their country that could go there.
Now, hearing that defeating Chen Xiao would not only grant them the Heavenly Group Order but also allow them to enter the legendary Netherworld Space to train, the eyes of these superhumans instantly turned fanatical.
They longed to challenge Chen Xiao right away and defeat him.
For ordinary superhumans, advancing in rank was extremely difficult. For example, a sorcerer needed both mental strength and spiritual energy to improve overall strength; if only one improved, their rank would remain unchanged, at best gaining a slight edge over peers.
But Chen Xiao was different. The power within him was the power of the Supreme God, far surpassing spiritual energy by many ranks. As long as his mental strength improved, he could harness the corresponding power of the Supreme God—there were no bottlenecks in this regard.
Upon hearing the words of the great immortal, Chen Xiao merely curled his lips, showing no interest. After all, these people would challenge him anyway, so whether there was one more condition or one less didn’t matter.
This time, Chen Xiao was determined to firmly establish his position within Huaxia Soul—not just to intimidate them, but to make everyone in Huaxia Soul submit to him completely.
…
In just a short while, news about Chen Xiao spread throughout Huaxia Soul’s headquarters. It was not long after the emergency summons was issued, and all members of Huaxia Soul gradually returned to gather here and stand by.
Now, hearing this news, the entire underground world was in an uproar. Initially, they had only disapproved of Chen Xiao and were ready to cause trouble at any time.
Now, after hearing this news, they were like those on stimulants, eager to challenge Chen Xiao right away. In their eyes, Chen Xiao had become easy prey.
The temptation of the Netherworld Space was simply too great.
“Team leader, that Chen Xiao is too arrogant. We…” The members of Huaxia Soul’s Yellow Team gathered around Long Fei, their expressions grim.
Since Huaxia Soul’s establishment, the Xuanhuang and Yellow Teams had been in a constant rivalry, with their strengths relatively balanced. But ever since Chen Xiao arrived, that balance was broken.
Chen Wenhu, a strong member of the Yellow Team, was defeated, and even team leader Long Fei was forced into a so-called “draw.”
Chen Xiao’s current status could be said to be built on the backs of the Yellow Team. Now that he had caused such a huge stir, it was inevitable that the Yellow Team members would be furious.
“Hmph, unless you’ve fought Chen Xiao, you’ll never know what his true strength is.”
At this moment, Long Fei’s expression lost some arrogance and gained a sense of caution.

“Chen Xiao, we will definitely take revenge, but not now.” Long Fei shook his head. With his powerful family background, he understood well the situation China was facing at the moment. Moreover, he seemed to have grasped Tian Group’s attitude toward Chen Xiao—there was no need to go to such extremes just to crush an ordinary supernatural being with no background. The only explanation was that Tian Group intended to nurture Chen Xiao fully; if he passed this trial, he would rise to become a key figure in the Soul of China. If not, he would remain a minor figure at the bottom. “Our Huang Group shouldn’t get involved in this,” Long Fei said coldly. “If anyone dares to challenge Chen Xiao, don’t blame me for not being gentle.” Hearing Long Fei’s words, the members of Huang Group shuddered with fear. … In the huge hall at the core of the Soul of China’s headquarters, a massive platform ten meters long, ten meters wide, and five meters high had been set up at some point. Chen Xiao stood there with his eyes slightly closed, his spiritual energy as that of a fifth-tier supernatural being clearly displayed before everyone. Realizing Chen Xiao’s current rank, half of those who came to challenge him immediately became weak. Back when Chen Xiao was at the fourth tier, he could already defeat Long Fei, a fifth-tier ancient martial artist. Now that he had reached the fifth tier, just how strong would he be? Instantly, those with lower cultivation levels who wanted to take advantage of the situation retreated. Only ten people remained—each of them elite members of the Soul of China, all at the fifth tier. In the world of supernatural beings, they would be figures who commanded respect. Their backgrounds were also extremely significant, allowing them to bring treasures comparable to those issued by Tian Group. “Li Ge, you really do give me face.” Below the arena, the young man named Qingye Li Ge, who was originally scheduled to be the first to challenge Chen Xiao, was about to ascend the stage when Yuye Xiaochen called out to him. “Cousin?” Qingye Li Ge froze and stopped. Then he immediately realized that Chen Xiao on the arena was from the Xuan Group, under Yuye Xiaochen’s command. Thinking of this, Qingye Li Ge felt somewhat embarrassed. “Be careful,” Yuye Xiaochen said, giving him a light tap on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, cousin. I won’t hurt him,” Qingye Li Ge said with a smile, clenching his fist. “I’m not afraid you’ll hurt him. I’m afraid he’ll hurt you,” Yuye Xiaochen shrugged. “Cousin, you…” Hearing this, Qingye Li Ge became furious. Throughout his life, he had been hailed as a genius, yet now his own cousin was saying he was inferior to this backgroundless kid on the stage. How could he tolerate that? “Hmph.” Qingye Li Ge snorted coldly, stepped forward, and instantly flew onto the arena. “Yuye Xiaochen, Qingye Li Ge? Cousin?” On the arena, Chen Xiao naturally heard their conversation and began to think deeply. “Lin Tianchi once told me that among the various families in China’s supernatural world, the Sanye Family is the most respected. Could it be that Yuye Xiaochen and this Qingye Li Ge are from that so-called Sanye Family?”

Although Chen Xiao had considered this possibility, his expression remained unchanged as he stared coldly at Qing Ye Li Ge. Since they were on this arena, they were his enemies—no one, not even the highest authorities, would be spared.

Qing Ye Li Ge appeared to be in his early twenties, with delicate features, belonging to the delicate and frail type. Yet, having reached the fifth level of cultivation at such a young age proved he was an extraordinary genius.

On the other side of the hall, the Great Immortal was playing with a short sword of pale gold. Exquisitely crafted, it resembled a work of art. Yet, its blade emitted a chilling cold light, revealing its extraordinary nature.

“Hehehe… This Heartbreak Sword of the Qing Ye family—this great immortal has long wanted to have it for fun.”

The Great Immortal adored the sword. If Chen Xiao won against Qing Ye Li Ge, the Heartbreak Sword would immediately end up in his hands.

“All the elite families placed in the Soul of China are true top talents. This is a perfect opportunity to extract all their treasures. Chen Xiao, don’t disappoint this great immortal’s expectations.”

If everyone knew this was the Great Immortal’s true intention, who knows what would happen.

At that moment, the battle on the arena had already begun.

Qing Ye Li Ge quickly formed a seal with his hands. After a deafening howl, a silver fox with no stray hairs on its body and five tails trailing behind appeared beside him.

A nine-tailed silver fox! A legendary fierce beast capable of evolving to the ninth level! Each of its tails represented a level of strength. A silver fox with five tails was at the fifth level.

“Silver Fox Talent, Silver Despair!”

As soon as the silver fox appeared, Qing Ye Li Ge hesitated not for a moment and immediately used his beast control skills.

Two streams of silver light burst from Qing Ye Li Ge and the silver fox, soaring into the sky and merging together. In less than a breath’s time, a huge silver light sphere formed in midair.

“As expected, a flower raised in a greenhouse—lacking any combat experience.” Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. “Combat technique: Fifth Wave of Waves!”

At this point, Chen Xiao’s mental power had reached the fifth level, allowing him to unleash the Power of the Supreme God equivalent to fifth-level spiritual energy, creating the Fifth Wave of Waves. His body was protected by the Water of Life, leaving him without any worries.

Five massive waves instantly formed in the air and rushed toward Qing Ye Li Ge’s body.

The Fifth Wave of Waves possessed the power of the sixth level. Its ferocity made the air crackle with sound.

“Hmph, really thinking I’m an idiot?” A hint of disdain appeared on Qing Ye Li Ge’s lips.

The next moment, the silver fox beside him let out a deafening cry. Its body instantly transformed into a stream of silver light, charging straight toward Chen Xiao’s waves.

At that time, Silver Despair in midair had already taken shape, instantly turning into a huge silver curtain that covered toward Chen Xiao’s body.

“I really do think you’re an idiot.”

A sinister smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips. Suddenly, his body turned into a blur and vanished from its original spot before the silver light could cover it. The light transformed from the silver fox collided with the five layers of waves and effortlessly shattered them. “Not good, I’ve been tricked!” Qing Ye Li Ge felt a surge of anxiety. “Go and enjoy your own move then.” At some point, Chen Xiao had appeared behind Qing Ye Li Ge. With a single slap, his fierce power surged out and struck Qing Ye Li Ge’s back, sending him along with the silver fox, which had once again taken solid form, straight under the silver light screen. …
