Chapter 055: Seven Layers of Waves

“Yes, young master.”
In the Main God’s Space, within the Water Spirit World, Mu Mu, who was sitting in seiza to recover, suddenly lit up. Then, an intricate spell was uttered from her mouth, transforming into strange symbols that directly merged into Chen Xiao’s mental energy.
Among those with supernatural abilities, learning from one another meant imprinting spells into the other’s mental energy and then reconstructing them in their own mental sea. Many classics in the world of supernatural abilities were accessed this way—only through mental energy could one scan them and absorb their contents.
Chen Xiao’s mental energy instantly received these spells and began rapidly digesting and absorbing them. His mental energy was at the peak of the third level. Although he couldn’t fully absorb this summoning technique at once, he could still grasp about 50% of it, allowing him to summon water element giants without much trouble.
Mu Mu’s method of summoning water element giants was actually a type of summoning spell specific to summoners, requiring a summoner’s spiritual energy to work. However, the energy within Chen Xiao, though not spiritual energy, was the far more advanced Main God’s power, making it effortless to use for summoning.
Main God’s power was far superior to spiritual energy, capable of being transformed into various forms of spiritual energy or other powers at will.
A moment later, Chen Xiao opened his eyes. He turned over and lightly jumped onto the competition platform, which was a meter above the ground.
“Sorry for making you wait, senior,” Chen Xiao said with a smile, bowing slightly to Chen Wenhu.
“Not bad. You actually dared to come up—quite brave of you,” Chen Wenhu replied. He was tall but not as honest and straightforward as Cheng Dong. At two meters tall, with a handsome appearance and thick eyebrows like swords, he looked extremely imposing.
“Then please teach me, senior.”
Chen Xiao stepped back slightly with his right foot, seemingly preparing something.
“Then I won’t hold back,” Chen Wenhu said with a grin, revealing his snow-white teeth. His body moved suddenly as he rushed toward Chen Xiao, swinging a palm-like strike at his neck.
“This guy isn’t holding back at all.”
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. In his mental sea, Main God’s power flowed rapidly throughout his body. He pushed off with his right foot and darted to the side.
At the same time, a three-meter-long water dragon emerged from the air, opening its mouth wide as it lunged at Chen Wenhu.
Chen Wenhu froze for a moment before throwing a punch that shattered the water dragon. But immediately, five more water dragons appeared, lunging at him ferociously.
“Hm? What kind of supernatural ability is this? Is it a curse spell? Can it be cast without inscribing a spiritual curse? Or is it some kind of combat technique?”
Chen Wenhu frowned, but he wasn’t afraid at all. His body moved swiftly, with dozens of palm shadows surrounding him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, explosive sounds rang out, and the five water dragons were completely destroyed in an instant.
“A combat technique—Seven Layers of Waves!”

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Xiao’s body suddenly emitted a dazzling deep blue light. His entire being seemed to be enveloped by rapid waves of shadowy energy, ready to erupt at any second.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, three massive waves burst forth from Chen Xiao and rushed straight toward Chen Wenhu, who was facing the Water Dragon.
“Seven Layers of Waves!”
At that moment, those who understood the art cried out in astonishment.
“That’s right—Seven Layers of Waves! How is he able to do that?!”
Ouyang Zheng’s expression turned even darker, and he became even more convinced that the information he had was incorrect. This Chen Xiao was clearly a martial warrior with an extremely complex background, capable even of using a top-tier combat technique like Seven Layers of Waves.
Even Chen Wenhu’s expression changed. Seven Layers of Waves was a top-tier technique among martial warriors, allowing them to fight opponents beyond their own rank. The three-layered waves Chen Xiao was using proved that his strength was at the third rank! With three layers of waves, each layer surpassing the last, their destructive power was comparable to that of a fourth-rank technique!
Seven Layers of Waves was the very technique Chen Xiao had discovered in that small library. After three hours of practice, he had already begun to master this extremely powerful combat technique.
However, Seven Layers of Waves also had its weaknesses. Once the waves passed, the user would lack the strength to follow up. If unable to retreat, they would be left defenseless.
Chen Wenhu seemed to understand the weakness of Seven Layers of Waves as well. With a fierce glare, an invisible surge of energy burst forth from his body.
“Hah!”
Chen Wenhu shouted loudly. Instead of retreating, he charged straight at the three massive waves formed by Chen Xiao.
Buzz!
A white gust of energy erupted from Chen Wenhu’s body, spreading outward in all directions and instantly dispersing the remaining Water Dragon.
“Sky-Splitting Palm!”
Chen Wenhu swung his palm, and the white energy condensed into a huge white palm shadow that rushed straight at the waves formed by Chen Xiao.
Bang!
On the first impact, the white palm shadow faded slightly, and Chen Xiao’s first layer of waves vanished completely.
Bang!
On the second impact, the white palm shadow disappeared, and Chen Xiao’s second layer of waves vanished as well.
On the third attempt, Chen Xiao’s third layer of waves rushed toward Chen Wenhu’s body. Chen Wenhu’s eyes widened as he swung his fists to meet the third wave.
Boom!
Chen Wenhu’s face turned pale as he stepped back slightly. A bloodstain as thick as a thumb flowed from his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.
Only when the three layers of waves merged into one could their power match that of a fourth-rank technique. Since Chen Xiao wasn’t very familiar with this technique, there were slight gaps between the three waves—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to be countered in such a way.
If the three waves were fully combined into one, Chen Wenhu wouldn’t have had any chance at all.
“Hmph, done showing off? It’s my turn!”
A cruel smile appeared on Chen Wenhu’s lips. His body flashed suddenly as he slammed his palm toward Chen Xiao’s chest.
Although he had suffered serious injuries against the third layer of waves, he still had the strength to fight compared to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. The power of the Supreme God in his mental sea seemed to be hindered in some way, unable to flow through his body, and thus he couldn’t unleash any combat techniques either.
“I see. Wave Seven Layers is powerful, but it harms the body and blocks the flow of spiritual energy!”
“Unfortunately, I’m not a martial warrior!”
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Chen Wenhú approaching. A faint smile appeared on his lips: “Summon, Water Element Giant.”
