Chapter 31: Pseudo Foundation Establishment at the Ninth Layer of Qi Training
This arena must have been weakened. The arenas in the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect cursed much more harshly than this one, Chi Jiuyu propped her cheek with one hand.
“Alright, giving it back.” Xu Xing handed the phone back.
After taking it, she quickly opened the chat app: “Shishu, you helped me explain to Master, right?”
“I did.”
“Huh? Where’s the chat history?”
The chat interface was clearly stopped on the message Master sent after she messed around.
“Your Master said to have me delete the chat history. She’ll deal with you when you get back.”
She’s even afraid her disciple will see? What did they even talk about?
Wait!
“Shishu, didn’t you help me explain to Master?!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then why does she still want to deal with me?!”
“What do you call me?” Xu Xing suddenly asked.
“Shishu.”
“Then what is your Master to me?”
“She is your Senior Sister…”
Xu Xing looked at her with the gaze one would use on a foolish child.
“So, why would you think Senior Sister would listen to me, her Senior Brother?”
“……”
That makes so much sense, I can’t refute it.
Chi Jiuyu fell silent, but for some reason, she felt that Shishu was actually fooling her.
Xu Xing smiled and looked back at the arena.
After Zhang Yunlu displayed perfected-level sword techniques in her match against Fang Lin, no one dared to challenge her anymore.
If there were no surprises, she should be the champion of this sparring test.
This undoubtedly exceeded many people’s expectations.
After all, before this sparring test, although Zhang Yunlu's performance wasn't bad, there was still some gap between her and the top tier.
Just as most people thought there wouldn't be any more surprises in this sparring test…
Another figure appeared in everyone’s sight. That person was stepping on a Flying Sword, their true essence condensed and heavy, its quality far surpassing Qi Training spiritual power.
Flying with a sword, Foundation Establishment!
There’s a Foundation Establishment among this year’s students!
“It’s Xiao Fan!”
“Xiao Fan? You mean the Xiao Fan whose brother joined the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect before the college entrance exam? But didn’t he just reach Qi Refining Ninth Layer not long ago?”
“His brother must have given him some treasures.”
Xiao Fan’s expression remained unchanged regarding these idle gossips. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yunlu.
Zhang Yunlu tightened her grip on the sword slightly.
A Foundation Establishment level opponent, she had no confidence, but that didn't mean she would just concede.
The next moment, Xiao Fan swooped down with his sword. Zhang Yunlu stood ready, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
But… Xiao Fan didn’t stop in front of her. Instead, he flew directly past her and landed on the second largest arena.
Whoa!
This scene instantly caused an uproar in the audience. Discussions rose everywhere, extremely noisy.
You, a dignified Foundation Establishment, actually dare not fight a Qi Training Cultivator?
However, Xiao Fan turned a deaf ear, sat down cross-legged directly on the arena, and began to regulate his breathing.
In a corner of the audience, a middle-aged couple was nervously staring at Xiao Fan on the arena.
…………
“Pseudo Foundation Establishment.”
On the judges' panel, the Principal saw through Xiao Fan's background.
This Xiao Fan was indeed a Pseudo Foundation Establishment who had advanced by taking Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid. This also explained why he didn't challenge Zhang Yunlu.
It’s hard to say what the outcome would be for a Pseudo Foundation Establishment facing a Sword Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer who has mastered perfected-level sword techniques.
“He was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer before, right? Why would he still use this method to establish his foundation?” Yu Ming was a bit puzzled.
Pseudo Foundation Establishment is a method only chosen by Cultivators who have no hope of achieving orthodox Foundation Establishment, but Xiao Fan, at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, clearly wasn't in that category.
This kind of self-destructive behavior…
“Not long ago, a group of Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect Cultivators retreated from the Starry Sky Battlefield. Some of these Cultivators were severely injured, and this Xiao Fan's brother was among them, still unconscious,” the Mayor's secretary explained.
Whether to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield or not depends entirely on the Cultivator's own will; it is not mandatory, so the risks must also be borne by oneself.
Clearly, Xiao Fan took the Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid to establish his foundation in order to get the reward from this sparring test to cover medical expenses.
“What a pity…” Yu Ming sighed.
He couldn't say much about this kind of thing.
With his path cut off, that young fellow must be feeling very bad in his heart.
…………
Pseudo Foundation Establishment?
It is indeed incredible.
Xu Xing looked at Xiao Fan on the arena, his gaze seemingly penetrating his body, seeing the profound yet fragile illusory Dao foundation within his Dantian.
That blonde guy before was too weak; he took the Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid at the Qi Training Seventh Layer.
But Xiao Fan is different; he is at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
Establishing a Dao foundation by taking the Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, although there is loss, still retains a trace of the profound phenomenon of a Good Fortune Dao Foundation.
The Qi Training Seventh Layer is inherently incomplete, but with the help of that trace of profound phenomenon, it can allow one to build a Dao foundation. How can this not be considered a form of 'seizing the creation of heaven and earth'?
“What a pity.”
Although Xiao Fan still retains a trace of the Good Fortune Dao Foundation phenomenon, incomplete is incomplete. He can no longer advance further; the fragile Dao foundation simply cannot bear the weight of a Golden Core.
It’s even difficult to abolish his cultivation and start over. Although that Dao foundation is fragile, its grade is extremely high. Destroying it is equivalent to detonating a Good Fortune Dao Foundation within the body.
Even with the protection of a Combined Dao Cultivator, surviving would likely result in being a cripple, with only a slim chance of being completely unharmed.
However, Lingyin Workshop's research does have some merit. Perhaps they might actually research a result in the end.
This young man can be observed more in the future.
Beside Xu Xing, Chi Jiuyu was arguing with someone on the Spiritual Net.
The cause was a post.
【Help! I've reached Foundation Establishment, what direction should I choose as my main cultivation next?】
And it also included a special recruitment notice from the Righteous Path Alliance University.
As a warm-hearted Cultivator, Chi Jiuyu gave what she believed was the most correct answer.
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: “Of course it’s Sword Cultivator! Sword Cultivators are both handsome and strong. Isn't cultivation for flying with a sword and seeking longevity! /smirk”
There were replies below, but the first two were actually Chi Jiuyu's own alt accounts.
Sword Sect Next Sect Leader: “Yes, yes, I also think Sword Cultivator is the best.”
Sword Sect Destined Sect Leader: “Sword Cultivators are invincible at the same level. Come fight if you disagree.”
Quietly Refining Fa cultivation Xiao Zhao: “The three upstairs, why don’t you three fight first /pick nose.”
Quietly Refining Fa cultivation Xiao Zhao: “If you want to choose, of course choose us Fa cultivation. Comprehend the heavens and earth, control the universe, divine abilities suppress the world, transform myriad heavens, infinite power gathered in one body, the great Dao of the cosmos is within control.”
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: “Bragging so much, aren't you just a squishy who dies with one sword strike /pick nose.”
Quietly Refining Fa cultivation Xiao Zhao: “Heh, are you any different from those brutes whose heads are full of muscles?”
Chang Qing (Accepting Alchemy business): “No, Sword Cultivators are still a bit more handsome than Body Cultivators.”
Can that idiotic arena in the Sect be demolished (Seeking Dragon Elephant Pills): “……”
This is truly getting shot while lying down. When can we Body Cultivators stand up?
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: “A squishy who can roll little pills is still here commenting.”
Qing Yue Talisman Industry (Wholesale please private message): “LOL, do you dare say that to your Alchemy Elder?”
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: “Squishy who throws little paper slips, haven’t you starved to death yet?”
…
Chi Jiuyu, by herself, argued with all Cultivator professions, switching between three accounts, and by hand speed alone, she didn't fall behind.
Among them were also the contempt of Fa cultivation towards Body Cultivators, and the contempt of all Cultivators towards the Heavenly Human Cultivators of the Hehuan Sect.
In the end, it was the person who posted the thread who was scared and deleted it. Only then did Chi Jiuyu put away her phone, still wanting more.
