Chen Mobai stood on the stage, bowing to the voluptuous woman in red in front of him.
“I’m surprised you had the courage to come up here.
Ding Ying’s face was relaxed, her right hand held two green and yellow talismans. She was slowly approaching Chen Mobai, gradually exerting pressure.
“After all, we’re now in the sixth round. Passing this stage would mean becoming a True Disciple of the Sect. Regardless of how strong the opponent is, I still want to give it a try.”
Chen Mobai spoke humbly, expressing his determination not to give up and his desire to fight for victory.
“Do you think you can defeat me?”
Upon hearing his words, Ding Ying couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a surprised laugh, as if she had just heard an uncontrollable joke.
“Hmm!”
To this, Chen Mobai only responded with one word.
“Hmm?”
Ding Ying widened her eyes, unable to understand where his confidence came from.
Sensing this, she snorted, and threw the yellow talisman from her hand. With a loud noise, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter suddenly appeared and fell onto Chen Mobai’s head. It was about to engulf him completely.
A pure green Flying Sword soared into the sky, circling around the fireball and transforming it into a rain of fire.
The entire stage seemed to be showered with fire rain, but Chen Mobai blocked it all with a Defensive Talisman.
“Without this Divine Wood Sword, you won’t even be able to withstand one of
my attacks.”
In the midst of Ding Ying’s cold laugh, another green talisman ignited a Spiritual Light and fell to her feet.
Immediately afterwards, a tree sapling burst forth from the earth and in the blink of an eye grew into a tree two meters high.
“This is…”
Chen Mobai found this move somewhat familiar, but Ding Ying’s next move made him understand why it looked familiar.
He saw her slap a talisman into the tree. A clear and pure light emanated, transforming into a green aura that made the entire stage tremble. This aura was condensed into a fist-sized pillar of light at the tip of Ding Ying’s right hand.
“Heavenly Wood Divine Light!?”
Back on the Green Light Island, their team could only withstand the flock of Black Plague Birds and even repel the Rank-2 Bird King due to the Spirit Tree s assistance.
However, if Ding Ying could activate the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light” by herself, likely no one within the True Disciples could compete against her.
After calming down, Chen Mobai analyzed and found the difference between this green light and the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.
It seemed like a degraded version of Heavenly Wood Divine Light.
“Losing to my Rank- 2 Heavenly Wood Talisman is something you should be proud of.”
Although Ding Ying’s words were dismissive, her actual actions were very cautious. After all, Chen Mobai was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and had a Rank-2 Flying Sword at hand.
This Heavenly Wood Talisman was one of her trump cards. She lifted her head, her right fingers pointed at Chen Mobai, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light began to rotate, forming a spiraling spearhead.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai pressed his sword finger, the Divine Wood Sword hummed. He was ready to give Ding Ying an unforgettable defeat.
A drop of Liquid Spiritual Power flowed out from the Qi Sea of his Dantian, running through his fingertips into the sword.
In an instant, the Divine Wood Sword, like pure green silk, shot out from his fingers.
At the same time, Ding Ying also launched her Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Spear.
In the midst of the piercing noise, the spiraling green spearhead, akin to a cannonball, distorted the air and even split open the platform it passed by. Possessing a terrifying strength that could crush all protective spiritual lights, it collided with the tip of the Pure Green Flying Sword controlled by Chen
Mobai.
After a sharp boom, under the unbelieving gaze of the crowd, the Pure Green Flying Sword bloomed with an even clearer spiritual light, exploding with a horrifyingly powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi. It managed to break through Ding Ying’s Heavenly Wood Spirit Light in a direct confrontation.
After the Sword Qi split open the spiraling spearhead formed by Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, it continued its momentum, slashing straight towards Ding Ying.
Petals of vibrant flying flowers spontaneously appeared out of thin air, forming into a robust talisman armor, and miraculously blocked the powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi in the nick of time.
In the midst of the loud “bang”, the reinforced platform shuddered violently. Ding Ying’s body involuntarily drew back, again and again, and the protection of the flying flower talisman armor began to fade. It seemed on the verge of complete collapse. Her face drastically changed, and she used a secret technique that allowed her to boost her spiritual power at the expense of elemental energy.
Blue and red halos intertwined and flickered on her beautiful face. In an instant, the green spirit force was swallowed up by the red spirit force.
This was a method of using the “Two Phased Technique”. Using Wood Attribute Spirit Force to sate the Fire Attribute Spirit Force, causing the latter to triple its power in an instant.
With this as her trump card, Ding Ying had been able to keep her position as a True Disciple for over a decade.
In a thought, the flying flower talisman armor that was on the verge of collapsing under the strike of the Divine Wood Sword Qi burst into an even brighter red light. The disappearing runes began to reappear, reassembling into a complete set of defensive talisman armour.
And at that moment, the Divine Wood Sword Qi fully exploded. The clear Spiritual Light spread out, attracting nature’s spiritual energy from the surroundings, transforming into a surge of Sword Qi which violently bombarded the flying flower talisman armor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rows of petal-shaped runes dimmed under the impact of the Sword Qi, breaking up and disappearing.
Ding Ying could no longer sustain it. She spat out blood and got thrown out of the ring.
“This, this is impossible!”
Disregarding the blood trickling from her mouth, she widened her eyes, struggling to get up from the ground and staring at Chen Mobai who recalled his flying Sword back to his side.
She had faced the Divine Wood Sword before, how could it possibly be this strong?
Even her prided ultimate attack, along with the flying flower talisman armor, were unable to deflect this powerful Sword Qi.
If Chen Mobai hadn’t sheathed his sword at the end, she might have lost her life on the spot.
What on earth is this power?
“Sister Ding, thank you for the lesson.”
Chen Mobai appeared calm, with a flick of his Sword, the Divine Wood Sword trembling slightly, like a swimming fish, flying into the storage bag at his waist.
Defeating the enemy with a single blow and seeing Ding Ying’s unwillingness, fear, and disbelief, Chen Mobai felt satisfaction seeping away at the frustration in his heart.
But after that, he was left with a sense of emptiness and disillusionment.
After a long wait, it seemed the elder presiding over this round was still in shock. Only after a while did he announce that Chen Mobai was the winner. As he stepped down the ring, he saw the astonished Qi Rui, with his mouth wide open, the shocked Xi Jing Huo, with a hand covering his mouth, and the stunned Zhuo Ming.
Also, on top of the neighboring tavern, holding a wine glass in a daze, was Yuan Chiye along with the greatly shocked Liu Wen Bo standing beside him. “Chen, from today onwards, your name will echo through the entire Divine Wood Sect just like Elder Hong He.”
Qi Rui was overcome with emotion. He remembered the naive boy who was fumbling around when faced with the demonic beast’s attack on Green Light Island.
Back then, he did envision Chen Mobai becoming a part of the Divine Wood Sect, and maybe even a True Disciple. But he absolutely didn’t think that in less than four years this innocent youth would grow so much.
“Let’s go, we’re going to celebrate today, let’s drink.
Chen Mobai smiled and called out to Qi Rui and the others, planning to comfort him after his expected defeat, leading them towards their regular tavern.
Luckily, Yuan Chiye was also there..
