If Chen Xuan had blocked the punch with a palm strike, the captains would not have been particularly surprised.
But Chen Xuan hadn’t even seemed to exert himself; he had simply swatted the air, dissipating Turgenev’s long-range punch with a casual wave! To achieve this, one would need to be at least a full tier stronger than Turgenev. Could Chen Xuan’s strength have already elevated him to a level above all the captains combined? It was a prospect the captains found impossible to believe. If Chen Xuan had truly made such a massive, sudden leap in power, it would mean he had completely absorbed the spiritual energy of the Ice Pearl. According to Xuan Yuanzhan’s analysis, that was supposed to be impossible.
"Regardless of whether the Evil Emperor is just having a final burst of energy, I believe we should join forces for now, kill him first, and then fight over the Ice Pearl!" Xuan Yuanzhan remained calm. After all, with so many captains working together, even if Chen Xuan’s strength had surged, he would still fall under their combined assault.
