The news that Murong Fu was about to marry Wen Min, the senior disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, spread quickly.
This drew envy from many Qingyun disciples.
And the parties involved,
Murong Fu, however, acted as if nothing had happened.
The next day.
Only twenty-seven floating islands remain in Yunhai Square.
Floating Island No. 3
The referee elder announced the match: "Xu Sisi of Xiaozhu Peak will face Murong Fu of Dazhu Peak!"
Xu Sisi is petite and delicate, with a cute, loli-like face and a great figure. Her cultivation level is also quite high, at the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
The girl clasped her hands in a bitter gesture and said, "Senior Brother Murong, please show mercy."
Murong Fu smiled and said, "It's just mutual verification and mutual growth. Junior Sister Sisi doesn't need to feel guilty."
"Senior Brother Murong is absolutely right, thank you for your guidance!" Xu Sisi was greatly encouraged and solemnly said, "Senior Brother Murong, I'm about to make my move, I'm going to use the Myriad Swords Technique!"
After speaking, the girl summoned her magical flying sword, which transformed into ten thousand swords, creating a sky full of sword shadows.
"Not bad swordsmanship!"
Murong Fu offered his thoughtful comments:
"However, your swordsmanship has some flaws. Although the Myriad Swords Technique is powerful, most of your sword shadows are just illusions, and not many of them can actually be used effectively."
If you encounter a sharp-eyed opponent, they will likely see through your flaws easily.
Xu Sisi frowned and asked, "Then how should it be improved?"
"Simple, it shifts between reality and illusion, blurring the lines between the real and the unreal, making it impossible to discern which is the true form. Once your skill is profound enough, the Myriad Swords Technique, with its myriad sword shadows, can all be the true form!"
As they were talking,
Murong Fu also made a sword incantation, "Like this!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"
In a flash.
Sword shadows filled the sky.
They are all invisible swords formed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Invisible to the naked eye.
However, as soon as one senses it with their magic power, their scalp will tingle.
It was as if each sword shadow was the real body, and each sword shadow could slay demons and monsters!
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
The exclamation came from the elder referee.
The same sword technique can have vastly different power depending on who wields it.
"Amazing!"
Xu Sisi was also stunned.
Outside the floating island.
Wenmin's beautiful eyes lit up. No wonder he was the man she had chosen; he was so outstanding.
Spectator seating.
Many elders watching the match exclaimed in amazement: "This young man's understanding of the Myriad Swords Technique is no less than ours!"
Tian Buyi felt honored and proudly raised the corners of his mouth.
Zeng Shuchang clicked his tongue and said, "Chief Tian, your disciple has a good chance of winning the championship this time."
"Hehe, not at all, just a little bit outstanding."
Tian Buyi couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, and his tone was also arrogant, but he still pretended to be humble.
Cangsong couldn't stand it and snorted, "It's just a mere Myriad Swords Technique."
"Senior Brother Cangsong, it seems your eldest disciple Qi Hao is about to lose."
Tian Buyi pointed to floating island number ten.
Cangsong said coldly, "Qi Hao hasn't really made a move yet, so how can you say he's lost?"
Floating Island No. 10.
Qi Hao's opponent is Huang Rong.
With her left hand setting up an array and her right hand wielding a sword, Huang Rong, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, fought Qi Hao, at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, to a standstill.
Many onlookers marveled at this.
"I originally thought that Junior Sister Huang Rong defeated Senior Sister Wen Min by luck, but I didn't expect that she would actually suppress Senior Brother Qi Hao today."
"This is a challenge that transcends an entire major realm, and it has already exceeded one hundred rounds, yet Junior Sister Huang Rong is still handling it with ease."
"Don't talk nonsense, Senior Brother Qi Hao hasn't even drawn his magic weapon yet."
"Hahaha, a Foundation Establishment Level 5 fighter against a Qi Refining Level 5 fighter, and he even needs to use a magic weapon? It's not honorable for him to win."
"..."
Just as that bystander said,
Qi Hao felt it was dishonorable, which is why he had never used the magical artifact.
This wasn't a difference of one or two minor realms, but a whole major realm; he couldn't defeat Huang Rong for the time being using magic alone.
This is so embarrassing!
"Junior Sister Huang Rong, I'm getting serious now, so watch out."
Qi Hao took a deep breath, made a hand seal, and chanted an incantation.
Ice Spikes!
This is an advanced spell, which can only be mastered by those at the Foundation Establishment stage or above.
In an instant, the temperature around the floating island plummeted.
Numerous ice spikes condensed in the air, gleaming with a cold light.
Correspondingly, Qi Hao's magical power was depleted by more than half, and his face turned much paler.
"Junior Sister Huang Rong, if you admit defeat..."
"Stop babbling and talking nonsense!"
Huang Rong, who had always been quiet, couldn't help but speak up because of his noise.
Qi Hao's lips twitched. "I'm just reminding you! How did that become nonsense?"
"Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation! Activate!"
Huang Rong silently recited the incantation, discarded her sword, and formed hand seals.
In an instant, a blue light shone around them, faintly forming a black and white Bagua pattern.
Qi Hao was trapped inside the Bagua, surrounded by the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
"This is... a large-scale formation? When did she set it up?"
Qi Hao was stunned.
The elder referee shook his head inwardly. Nonsense, of course it was set up casually during the magical duel with you!
It is said that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. As the referee, he saw everything clearly, but naturally he could not remind Qi Hao.
"Hahaha"
Tian Buyi laughed smugly, "Cangsong, your eldest disciple is really useless."
"Hmph! It's just a small formation; Qi Hao can break it with a single sword strike!"
Cangsong snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Qi Hao as well.
What happened next completely surprised Cangsong.
All I saw was...
Qi Hao dejectedly withdrew his magic.
Even if he unleashed his full power with icy spikes, he could only break through the formation at most, unable to cause any real damage to Huang Rong.
The situation will likely remain one of prolonged struggle.
"I concede."
Qi Hao sighed.
"What? They've admitted defeat?" The onlookers were all shocked.
"Senior Brother, where's your flying sword? Where's your magic weapon? Are you admitting defeat already?"
The people, especially those from Dragon Head Peak, were all dumbfounded.
Qi Hao shook his head frankly and said, "My duel with Junior Sister Huang Rong was already unfair. If I were to use the power of my magic weapon, it would be an unfair victory."
After saying that, Qi Hao flew away on his sword.
Although Qi Hao was defeated, he was praised by many for his benevolence and righteousness.
But what surprised many more was that Huang Rong, who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, had miraculously won!
