Chapter 574: 574
"No need for anyone else to step in, this bet is between the two of us!"
Di Ming bellowed, directly drawing out a long saber from the side.
Chen Yu let out a slight breath of murky air; he truly had to rely on his own skills to compete with Di Ming now.
He flicked his wrist and drew a knight's longsword from beside him, gripping it with both hands.
"Then bring it on!"
The two exchanged glances and then, after a burst of acceleration, they charged to the center of the hall. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
The sounds of their swords clashing were crisp and forceful, the power generated causing the surrounding air to buzz ominously.
Everyone present backed away, not daring to get too close for fear of being hurt by the energies released by the two fighters.
Without the help of the system, Chen Yu felt no strain whatsoever.
His physical condition had long since surpassed human limits by several times.
Moreover, after several evolutionary feedbacks from the system, his body had a magnetic field similar to that of a born possessor of Supernatural Powers.
He could also release blue and white arcs of electricity thanks to the operation of the magnetic field.
The two bodies constantly interweaved in the center of the square, their speed and strength matched so that there was no clear victor for a time.
After another powerful collision, both men pushed off from each other, panting and scrutinizing their opponent.
"Something's not right; you're not using your full strength!" Di Ming gritted his teeth, "The power you used when you took down Yemengade was much stronger than now."
Chen Yu certainly wouldn't reveal the fact that he had the system. He simply flicked the longsword in his hand and stared at Di Ming with a dismissive look.
"I don't need to use that much power to deal with you!"
Di Ming suddenly felt deeply insulted. He raised his saber and roared, drawing a vast amount of black lightning swiftly to himself, wrapping around his body.
"You've gone too far. Today I'll take your life!"
In that moment, an enormous power burst forth, and Di Ming's body became translucent.
Chen Yu, too, felt unprecedented pressure at this moment, but his physical condition allowed him to just manage it.
He took a deep breath and mobilized all of the magnetic field he could summon around his longsword.
Blue and white electric light quickly spread around him.
The two powerful forces filled the entire hall rapidly, and the people who had been standing and resisting were now leaving, with some even hiding behind covers.
Di Ming's power reached its limit; he bore his physical agony and released all of his power in one burst.
Chen Yu refused to be outdone and hacked down fiercely with his longsword.
At the moment of impact, the two powerful forces clashed, sending out a terrifyingly fierce shockwave; pillars and even the ceiling of the hall shattered one after another.
When the powers of the two had dissipated, Di Ming was already lying limply on the ground, while Chen Yu still stood tall.
His physical condition had been fortified several times; such a clash only caused his muscles to feel sore.
"It seems I've won. From now on, the entire Luo Shengtian will belong to the Xuanqing Sect!"
Di Ming, teeth clenched, forcibly propped up his body to stand.
"This is impossible; I am the most powerful person in this world, I can't lose to you!"
Chen Yu didn't care about that. He walked straight to Di Ming and grabbed his shoulder.
"Are you thinking of going back on your word?"
Di Ming suddenly didn't know what to say.
His ability to set up so many mechanisms from ancient legends in Luo Shengtian proved that he truly believed in certain Supernatural Powers.

He would absolutely not go back on a bet or an oath.
"Since I lost, I willingly accept defeat! From now on, everything that belongs to Luo Shengtian is yours. However, I hope you won't disrupt its existing mechanisms and balance," Chen Yu said, letting out a weary sigh. Right now, he really didn't have much strength left. If Di Ming insisted on another confrontation, the outcome remained uncertain.
"Then come back with me to the Core Tower now. Let's sign the necessary papers," Di Ming reluctantly nodded.
At the top floor of the Core Tower, Jin Lingsu sat with a gloomy expression on her face.
"What kind of place is Luo Shengtian? Don't you people know? Couldn't you have stopped him when he left?"
Xu Linjun didn't know how to respond and seemed somewhat lost.
Luo Shengtian was the most powerful entity on their continent, one that no one dared to defy.
They had witnessed the extent of Chen Yu's strength, enough to challenge Di Ming of Luo Shengtian equally.
It was after much deliberation that they had allowed Chen Yu to go.
But now, they felt regret; the headquarters of Luo Shengtian bristled with dangers, and it was uncertain if anyone could come out alive.
Although Chen Yu was powerful, it didn't mean he could overcome all the mechanisms there.
Just as everyone was worried, a shrill alarm suddenly rang outside.
Xu Linjun quickly stood up and grabbed the emergency phone on the table.
"What's happened outside? Why the alarm?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader!" a hurried voice came through the phone: "Sect Leader Chen has returned!"
Everyone in the room sighed with relief, yet their eyes were filled with shock.
No one had expected that Chen Yu could return entirely unscathed from Luo Shengtian.
Just as they prepared to go down to greet him, the voice on the phone spoke again.
"The master of Luo Shengtian is also following Sect Leader Chen."
Now everyone was panicking; they didn't know what the master of Luo Shengtian intended by coming here.
Before they could react, the Core Tower's elevator was activated, and soon after, Chen Yu and Di Ming appeared before them.
Xu Linjun hurriedly stepped forward: "What brings you two here?"
Di Ming sighed resignedly: "From now on, all of Luo Shengtian belongs to the Xuanqing Sect, and I am a member of the Xuanqing Sect as well."
All present widened their eyes in disbelief. Di Ming, the haughty master of Luo Shengtian, was now willingly acknowledging himself as a member of the Xuanqing Sect.
This confirmed that the bet between the two men had been won by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Could you please draft the contract between us two, and make it as comprehensive as possible?"
Xu Linjun finally came to his senses and hurriedly took some A4 paper from the side.
Jin Lingsu also approached Chen Yu.
"You finally made it back in one piece. Otherwise, your significant other would have flayed me alive," she said.
Chen Yu laughed: "From now on, all organizations with Supernatural Powers in the world are in my hands."
Not one person present dared to speak.
Luo Shengtian was the only organization in the world that could contend with the Dao Sects. Now that such an entity was under Chen Yu's control, the rest of the organizations paled in significance.
