Chen Mobai put down the wine glass in his hand, his tone calm.
Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo looked at each other, not knowing where the “good” is in
this situation.
“Younger Brother Chen, although you have a rank-2 flying sword, you may win against some weaker True Disciples. However, Sister Ding Ying has occupied the position of a True Disciple for thirteen years now. Even without using the symbolic flower armor from our talisman making department, she has a solid prospect of advancing into the True Disciples,”
As a cultivator in the same talisman making department, Qi Rm understood
Ding Ying’s strength best.
In the past ten years, Ding Ying had been filling the number.
But after E Yun and his group of people either established their foundations or retreated, she was now considered the first level in true lineage.
“Actually, the person I want to face is Mu Yuan.”
But Chen Mobai’s words made even Xi Jinghuo, the immortal second generation, unable to resist taking a cold breath.
Who is Mu Yuan?
The true disciple put forward by the leading hall of the three, Shenmu Hall, is a prodigy meant to succeed Zhou Wangshen, who has already established his foundation.
It is said that his spiritual root talent is better than Zhou Wangshen’s. If it wasn’t for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Mu Yuan would be the most talented disciple in the Shenmu sect in the past decade.
in last year’s sect competition, if it weren’t for his young age and lack of experience in magic duels, he probably wouldn’t have settled for fourth place.
Even so, in order to defeat him, Yuan Chiye played all his cards, resulting in him being unable to compete with the other two in the final round of the competition for the sequence of the three true disciples, ranking third.
In this year’s sect competition, Mu Yuan is widely acknowledged as a seed candidate who can progress to the last round, the top three.
“Younger Brother Chen, I know you were a bit unwilling to admit defeat last year, but sometimes a person has to face their fate. Mu Yuan is too strong, backed by Shenmu Hall and with two rank-2 magic artifacts. Even the previous number one, Uncle Hong He, may not necessarily be able to suppress him in the Qi Cultivating Realm,”
Qi Rui seriously advised.
in the previous batch of true disciples, Hong He from the Penalty Evil Hall held the position of the first true disciple for a full ten years, with Zhou Wangshen and E Yun from Shenmu Hall alternating in the second and third positions.
And Mu Yuan, already has the potential of Hong He.
Many people believe that he would be able to suppress all the true disciples and lead the three thousand Qi Practitioners of Shenmu sect in the next ten years.
■■If I can make it to the 9th round, I will inevitably encounter him. We have to have a duel, otherwise, I won’t feel satisfied,”
Chen Mobai said with a smile. He had already seen the competition chart, the key battle of the 48 to 24 true disciples. As long as Ding Ying was not defeated beforehand, the two of them would face off.
And if he could beat Ding Ying and defeat the next opponent, then if Mu Yuan really was as invincible as they said, Chen Mobai would meet his old rival in the eighth round of the six to three key battle.
“That’s fine, but Younger Brother Chen, you mustn’t act forcefully when the time comes. Like last year, if you can’t win, just admit defeat,”
Hearing Qi Rui’s words, Chen Mobai didn’t say anything more. He simply lifted the wine glass in his hand to signal a toast.
Xi Jinghuo looked at his expression, and felt a bit stunned, but after he was overwhelmed by the alcohol, he put it out of his mind.
Only Zhuo Ming, because she didn’t drink, had a clear view of the situation.
There was no laughter in Chen Mobai’s eyes.
[Brother Chen is serious!?]
After a long half month of the first round, the trio who were drinking finally
had their second round.
Chen Mobai and Qi Rui, as ninth-level Qi cultivators, were subdivisions of True Disciple seeds defeated their enemies in one move.
Xi Jinghuo met a sixth-level Qi cultivator with rich magic dueling experience, and it took quite some time to finally defeat his opponent using the Crimson
Flame Sword Talisman.
In the third and fourth rounds, Chen Mobai faced opponents in the late stages of Qi cultivation, but he let them do their best in order to test the power of the Divine Wood Sword. Unfortunately, the opponents were too weak, and none could withstand his attacks for more than ten moves.
Finally, in the fifth round, he encountered a decent opponent, a True Disciple candidate named Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng was a student from the sword training department and practiced the Golden Light Sword Art – outside of Mu Yuan, he was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had encountered in the sect competition so far.
Unfortunately for him, Guo Sheng had come across Chen Mobai, and without access to a Rank-2 Flying Sword, he chose not to use his Flying Sword altogether after a few clashes with Chen Mobai’s Golden Light Sword and the Divine Wood Sword that dimmed his spiritual light.
in the subsequent portion of the match, Guo Sheng chose to use his Sword Gang to battle, while Chen Mobai stayed defensive with his Divine Wood Sword, gradually learning about all attributes of this Rank-2 Flying Sword during the battle.
As long as spiritual power was channeled into it, the attack executed by the Divine Wood Sword was equivalent to the “Sword Gang Transforming Qi” of a sword cultivator – essentially an unstoppable finishing move against Qi Practitioners.
Only a Rank-2 defensive talisman or magic artifact could resist it.
Guo Sheng exhausted all his means, relying on his thirty years of rich sword duel experience, and barely dodged seven attacks from Divine Wood Sword Qi, attempting to exhaust Chen Mobai’s spiritual power and turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately for him, Chen Mobai had surpassed the Qi Cultivating Realm by utilizing the Jade marrow pill, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, and Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment cultivated from the immortal gates.
Although he hadn’t succeeded in Foundation Establishment,
Chen Mobai had completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, and also begun Condensing Qi into Liquid.
in the vortex at the core of his Dantian Qi Sea, two drops of liquid spiritual power had already formed.
Each of these drops of liquid spiritual power was equivalent to the total spiritual power of a Qi practitioner at the peak of the ninth level. According to The Undying Scripture’s take on Foundation Establishment, this second step of “Condensing Qi into Liquid” required ten drops of such liquid spiritual power.
During his time of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was not able to further develop due to not having reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, despite using elixirs and practicing in a Rank-3 Cultivation Room. He could only condense into two drops before reaching his limit, forcing him to hold this progress in a standstill with a last resort technique.
Despite this, he had already surpassed the realm of Qi cultivation.
As long as he was willing, he could spend these two drops of liquid spiritual power on casting a Rank-2 spell or fully activating the strongest power of the Divine Wood Sword.
This was the force of the Foundation Establishment level, capable of crushing all Qi Practitioners.
After Guo Sheng struggled to dodge four Divine Wood Sword Qi, he found an opportunity to attack up-close, but he was halted by a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman from Chen Mobai at the instant of his move.
Hardly blocking the Red Flame Sword Qi with his last defensive talisman, Guo Sheng was struck with another Divine Wood Sword Qi from Chen Mobai before he could react.
With no other options left, a desperate Guo Sheng conceded defeat just as the Sword Qi reached him. He had no means left.
Not conceding would result in serious injury, even risking damage to his source.
“The victor, Chen Mobai!”
Upon hearing the elder’s announcement from the stage, Chen Mobai smiled, storing his Divine Wood Sword in his storage bag, and left the stage, gesturing to a sweaty and pale Guo Sheng before leaving.
“Chen, do you have a moment?”
After stepping off the stage, he was greeted by an unexpected person.
“If Brother Yuan extends an invitation, of course, I have time.”
Yuan Chiye smiled and turned around. Chen Mobai followed him into a private courtyard, and they sat in a pavilion by a pond where food and drinks were already prepared.
“I’ve heard you made an attempt to visit Sister Ding, but was turned away..”
