Chapter 94 (Ranking Completed)
Wei Zhen'er smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Lü's sword qi dragon is still as majestic and domineering as ever."
Beside her, Yu Hong'er, dressed in red, spoke almost simultaneously: "Magnificent and beautiful, the sword energy soars to the sky."
After praising each other, the two couldn't help but glance at each other.
Wei Zhen'er called out, "Senior Sister Yu."
Yu Hong'er smiled sweetly and nodded slightly.
Wei Zhen'er was beautiful and graceful, while Yu Hong'er was charming and beautiful; both were extremely beautiful women.
Although there are countless geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List, Lü Yezhou has a low-grade Heavenly Qualification, is handsome and outstanding, has strong combat power, and a good temperament, which naturally makes people yearn for him.
Wei Zhen'er and Yu Hong'er were two of them.
However, despite their longing for it, most of the male and female disciples were focused on improving their strength, and not many pursued it.
After all, cultivators have long lifespans, so if they want to find their Daoist partner, they must search slowly and not make a hasty decision.
There's no rush.
At this moment, both of them were simply admiring the view.
Wei Zhen'er and Yu Hong'er simply huddled together to observe the imposing power of the long dragon of sword energy.
The two women were not familiar with each other before, but now they have something to talk about.
Yu Hong'er sighed, "Even if I master all the secret techniques I know, I still can't compare to Senior Brother Lü."
Wei Zhen'er smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yu is ranked thirty-fifth, and her strength is not inferior. As far as I know, Senior Sister has the secret technique of 'Three Sighs of the Mortal World,' and has already perfected the first sigh. Once this technique is fully mastered, Senior Sister's ranking will rise even further."
Yu Hong'er smiled and said, "Then I'll accept your kind words, Junior Sister Wei."
Suddenly, Yu Hong'er flicked her sleeve, picked up Wei Zhen'er, and retreated to the back with her.
Wei Zhen'er suddenly realized that several sword energies were landing right in front of her—if it weren't for Senior Sister Yu helping her, she would have been hit directly by the sword energies.
In an instant, Wei Zhen'er felt a wave of fear.
Being shot while watching the battle is pointless; it would only bring shame upon the academy.
It wasn't that Wei Zhen'er was unprepared or unaware of the danger, but rather that the long dragon of sword energy was too powerful, and the power of the sword energy it released was impossible to defend against.
Wei Zhen'er simply lacked the strength to immediately detect it.
Yu Hong'er's ranking was more than a hundred places higher than Wei Zhen'er's, which allowed her to react in time.
The two had already moved much further away from the battle arena.
Wei Zhen'er looked around.
As expected, the sword energy didn't just hit her; many other disciples, like her, were unable to react in time. Many of them suffered minor injuries, such as grimacing and torn clothes, or more serious injuries, such as being covered in holes and bleeding profusely.
The injured disciples quickly took out their pills and ate them, then moved away to recuperate. They also asked those with less serious injuries to help them keep watch, so as not to be further injured by the aftershocks.
They were all in a sorry state.
Watching and participating in ranking battles inherently carries this kind of danger.
·
At this moment, the long dragon of sword energy spread out, almost filling the entire battle arena.
Wu Shaogan flew into the air and kept pulling the bowstring.
Countless arrows rained down.
However, these arrows, which had achieved countless feats in the past, could not harm the sword energy dragon in the slightest.
The arrow rain seemed to be just like raindrops.
·
Lü Yezhou's expression was solemn.
Unleashing this long dragon of sword energy is no easy feat, as it consumes a great deal of profound energy.
Therefore, when this thing is in motion, he must focus on manipulating it and cannot be distracted to attack Wu Shaogan.
However, his current cultivation level is limited, and he cannot maintain this secret technique for long, so he cannot simply wait for Wu Shaogan's attack.
A long dragon of sword energy, bathed in a rain of arrows, soared upwards.
The dragon's head rose proudly, and upon closer inspection, one could see that its eyes seemed to contain emotions as real as those of a human.
Wu Shaogan narrowed his eyes slightly.
On the battle stage, Lü Yezhou, standing beside the long dragon of sword energy, appeared increasingly ethereal, seemingly merging with the dragon.
The emotions in Long's eyes were exactly the same as those in Lü Yezhou's eyes!
If that's the case...
Wu Shaogan swayed and escaped from under the giant dragon's mouth.
The giant dragon's jaws missed their target, and the immense sword energy it unleashed struck a corner of the battle arena.
It made a muffled sound.
This sword energy was formed by the convergence of countless sword energies, and its power was immense, causing several pieces of flying pebbles to appear in that area.
The sword-wielding dragon moved nimbly.
The moment it discovered its prey had escaped, it turned its head and headed straight for the direction Wu Shaogan had avoided!
Sword energy is inherently very fast.
Even when it transforms into a long dragon, it remains extremely fast.
The dragon's head chased closely, its eyes fixed on the looming figure of the youth.
Wu Shaogan was clearly only at the first level of enlightenment, yet he was incredibly agile when flying, easily dodging all the attacks from the long dragon of sword energy.
Before long, the long dragon of sword energy had reached mid-air and coiled up.
Dragon head, dragon whiskers, dragon body, dragon claws, dragon tail...
Everywhere, a large amount of sword energy was released, attacking and killing Wu Shaogan's figure.
As it was continuously released, the sword energy lingered and grew increasingly dense, as if it had formed a giant cage of sword energy itself.
Wu Shaogan must be imprisoned within.
The dense sword energy emitted a sharp cry, and as they intertwined, they seemed to form a net that stretched across the sky.
The one they're trying to catch is Wu Shaogan!
·
Wu Dongxiao was stunned. He couldn't help but lean forward and murmur, "Amazing!"
Xuan Bing, also looking at the scene on the battle stage, said gently, "Senior Brother Lü has learned the peak of the first level of this secret technique. He is also more proficient than before in controlling the long dragon of sword energy."
Wu Dongxiao asked curiously, "Senior brother, how many stages are there in the sword qi dragon?"
Xuan Bing replied, "Three stages."
Wu Dongxiao was a little surprised: "He's already this powerful in just the first stage, then my uncle must be..."
Xuan Bing rubbed Wu Dongxiao's head and said with a smile, "In the first stage, the sword energy dragon took physical form, but because of the many sword energies intertwined, some speed was sacrificed. Your uncle is faster and won't be trapped."
He patiently explained things to his junior, which also broadened his horizons.
"In the second stage, it is half real and half illusory, and the speed of the long dragon is the same as the speed of the sword energy itself. In the third stage, the speed of the sword energy long dragon will increase by another 50%."
"The long queues in the first phase are fast enough most of the time, and as long as your uncle doesn't get stuck, it's fine."
"If it weren't for a ranking battle, your uncle could have stayed away as soon as this sword energy dragon was released. Now that both sides are on the battle stage, your uncle will be subject to some restrictions..."
Wu Dongxiao listened very attentively.
After listening to everything, his gaze fell on the boy who was lying on the edge of the fighting platform.
When the residual force of the attack was released, it was quickly blocked by the invisible force on the boy's body, and it could not hurt him at all.
Clearly, the boy had prepared a defense.
Wu Dongxiao pursed his lips and whispered to Xuan Bing, "Senior brother, Uncle Zhong must be very worried right now. Can I go and tell him?"
Xuan Bing smiled and said, "You seem to have a very good relationship with your two uncles." He didn't stop him and said, "Go ahead."
Wu Dongxiao smiled and said, "They have been very kind to me."
Xuan Bing nodded, took out a level four defense bracelet, and put it on Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao quickly walked towards Zhong Cai.
·
To be honest, their relationship wasn't exactly "very good" in the normal sense.
Wu Dongxiao knew very well that his two uncles were people who only cared about each other and disliked causing trouble. When the couple was down on their luck, he was young and successful, and hadn't done anything to cultivate a relationship with them.
Even so, his two uncles still saved his life.
Later, his two uncles took care of him for a long time, and even spared no expense in providing him with the precious antidote.
Compared to those who are all talk and no action, who turn a blind eye or even kick someone when they're down on their luck, my two uncles are a breath of fresh air.
So what if I'm a little aloof? That's just my personality.
So what if I don't like him because he's in my sight? The two uncles are just very close.
Those two uncles are truly trustworthy people.
And once you get used to their way of doing things, you can just... you can get used to it.
·
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Wu Dongxiao's mind as he arrived beside Zhong Cai.
Maintaining a suitable distance, Wu Dongxiao used words but not fists.
"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong?"
Zhong Cai was focused on the battle arena, but when he heard the noise, he turned around and lowered his head.
It's that familiar little rascal, Douding.
Wu Dongxiao was very pleased that he didn't need to shout to get Uncle Zhong to react; Uncle Zhong had already been very good to him.
Zhong Cai glanced at Wu Dongxiao, then looked behind him.
Not far away, a handsome young man dressed in white was standing there.
It was Zaizi's senior brother, Xuanbing.
Zhong Cai felt a little strange.
He and Lao Wu smoothly handed the child over to the child's master to take care of, and then the child's master handed the child over to the eldest apprentice to take care of.
interesting.
Zhong Cai asked, "Is something the matter?"
Wu Dongxiao nodded solemnly: "Something's up."
Zhong Cai gestured for him to continue.
Wu Dongxiao then repeated everything his senior brother had said in detail.
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "I understand. You're so thoughtful."
The protagonist is a kind-hearted kid who always repays kindness; his personality hasn't gone astray, which is good.
After Wu Dongxiao finished speaking, feeling that he had comforted Uncle Zhong, he waved goodbye and walked away.
His senior brother is still waiting for him.
·
Zhong Cai's gaze returned to the battle arena.
The long dragon of sword energy on the stage is now very clear, but Lao Wu appears and disappears intermittently, his trajectory impossible to discern.
But every time Lao Wu appeared, he could sense Lao Wu's location the instant he appeared.
He would bypass the body of the sword energy dragon and sneak through it. If the sword energy dragon pursued too closely and his path was blocked, he would pass through the gaps between the sword energy dragon's body.
Indeed, they were not imprisoned.
Senior Brother Lü is indeed very capable, but Old Wu is really not bad either.
Given Zhong Cai's tacit understanding with his old man Wu, he felt that Wu must be brewing something.
·
Regardless of what Wu Shaogan was planning, Lü Yezhou had already summoned the long dragon of sword energy back.
A long dragon coiled on the battle platform, with Lü Yezhou positioned behind its body.
Since the sword energy cage can't trap Wu Shaogan, there's no need to expend any more sword energy.
·
This secret technique requires a high level of swordsmanship from the cultivator. The size of the sword energy dragon formed after it is executed is related to the cultivator's profound energy.
The reason why Lü Yezhou's sword energy dragon was so eye-catching was because of its enormous size and its stunning appearance.
Once the long dragon appears, Lü Yezhou's profound energy will definitely be mostly depleted.
However, the sword energy dragon no longer needs more profound energy to be incorporated; its attacks rely entirely on the consumption of sword energy.
If too much sword energy is consumed, the long dragon will dissipate.
·
After the long line landed, Wu Shaogan reappeared.
At this moment, he focused his gaze on the long dragon of sword energy, a faint light flashing deep within his eyes.
It seemed as if a gentle breeze was blowing, or perhaps it was the lingering effect of the wind caused by the landing of the sword dragon, causing Wu Shaogan's black hair to flutter.
If you look closely, you will see the tips of her black hair trembling slightly.
This is not a reaction to being blown by the wind.
And it seemed as if a faint, invisible aura was appearing.
·
In the previous match, Wu Shaogan gradually became more violent, but in this match, he remained calm and composed throughout.
Lü Yezhou leaped and landed on the dragon's head.
In that instant, half of his body was submerged into the dragon's body, and man and dragon truly became one.
Lü Yezhou placed his palm on the hilt of the sword.
The long dragon of sword energy tensed, poised to strike.
Clearly, when the sword is drawn in the next move, the dragon of sword energy will also unleash a terrifying speed!
Lu Yezhou calmed himself down, his eyes sharp.
"Whoosh!"
As expected, the long dragon of sword energy erupted!
Wu Shaogan unleashed his movement technique once again!
However, the speed at which the sword energy dragon rose was slightly faster than that of Wu Shaogan.
·
When Wu Shaogan reappeared on the other side, the sleeve of his right arm was torn, and fine sword marks appeared on his arm.
This was exactly when the long sword energy just grazed his body and ruined his clothes.
The overflowing, fine sword energy injured him.
Crimson blood seeped from the tiny wounds, quickly pooling together and flowing down his arm.
The dragon's tail, a long sword aura, reached the ground, while the dragon itself, carrying Lü Yezhou, appeared in the direction opposite Wu Shaogan.
The dragon's head faces Wu Shaogan.
Lu Yezhou, atop the dragon's head, once again placed his palm on the hilt of the sword.
One man and one dragon, gathering their strength once more.
·
Just as Wu Shaogan's rain of arrows was an ineffective attack, the long dragon of sword energy chasing after Wu Shaogan was also an ineffective attack.
Therefore, Lü Yezhou decided to launch a sudden and decisive attack.
Just like a venomous snake in a cave, when it attacks its enemy, it prepares for the attack before its speed suddenly increases.
Sure enough, Wu Shaogan was already injured during his first outburst.
·
Wu Shaogan's lips curved into a smile.
Then, a long arrow appeared in his palm, and he casually wiped away the blood that was about to fall to the ground.
The arrow was coated with a layer of blood.
Lu Yezhou quickly gathered his strength, and at that moment, the sword energy dragon's tail exerted force, causing the entire dragon head to suddenly leap out!
·
Wu Shaogan drew his bow again!
This time, only one arrow was fired.
The arrow transformed into a streak of blood.
The farther the blood-red light travels, the more condensed it becomes, and the more scarlet and intense it becomes.
The beam of light it emitted also grew larger and larger.
·
The dragon's head moved quickly, but the bloodshed came even faster.
Before the sword energy dragon could even stretch its body, the blood light suddenly turned into a huge pillar of blood and collided with the dragon's head!
Arrow flashes and sword gleams clashed and intertwined.
The white and blood-red radiance complemented each other.
At the same time, countless clanging and popping sounds were emitted.
Lü Yezhou's pupils contracted slightly.
The long dragon of sword energy obeyed his will and suddenly retreated!
At this moment, the blood-red light swallowed the white light—no, it should be said that the blood-red light, along with the white light, was annihilated together.
The shape of the sword-qi dragon suddenly shrank by half.
It looks far less imposing than before.
After the bloody light disappeared, a long arrow was revealed.
In fact, it was just an ordinary level three arrow.
The moment the long arrow appeared, countless cracks were revealed.
In an instant, the cracks burst open, and the entire arrow turned to dust.
·
Lü Yezhou's expression was solemn.
With his manipulation, the long dragon of sword energy rose again, ready to erupt once more.
The shrinking sword energy dragon will accelerate, and if the opponent fails to notice this in time, it will be difficult to resist.
However, Wu Shaogan noticed it.
As the sword energy surged towards Wu Shaogan even faster, Wu Shaogan had already drawn his bowstring before it did.
This time, countless arrows appeared.
Did he unleash another rain of arrows?
But the rain of arrows was clearly useless...
Sudden!
Instead of attacking from all directions as before, the arrows gathered together densely, getting closer and closer, becoming more and more solid!
Then, with a deafening roar, it collided with the long dragon of sword energy!
In that instant, it seemed as if another ferocious dragon head appeared, colliding with the dragon head of the sword energy dragon—
Both of them shattered upon impact.
Undoubtedly, this ferocious dragon head was formed from the arrow's edge.
Although it is only slightly formed and there is only one dragon head, its quality seems to be very high.
At least, it's on par with the weakened sword energy dragon.
·
Below the battle arena.
Many of the disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking were stunned.
Someone hesitated before speaking, "I feel..."
Another person paused, stunned, and then said, "...The rhythm of the arrow's rays is so similar to the long dragon of sword energy?"
Yes! They really do look alike!
Even if the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Ranking didn't learn the secret technique of Sword Qi Dragon, they had all studied it.
If you can't learn it, it's because your swordsmanship is insufficient, your sword energy is not pure enough, or you're not even learning swordsmanship at all. But everyone's comprehension is quite good. How can you not understand a little bit?
Li Chong said dryly, "Junior Brother Wu is new to the inner academy and must not have seen the secret technique of the Long Dragon of Sword Qi before."
Cai Xing and the others nodded in agreement.
At that moment, a clear voice rang out.
The young man in white, leading a child, walked over a few steps and said with a smile, "This is something Junior Brother Wu just comprehended."
Wei Zhen'er exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?!"
The young man in white smiled.
The other disciples all greeted the young man, saying, "Senior Brother Xuan."
All the disciples quieted down and waited for Xuanbing to continue.
Wei Zhen'er was no exception; she was just too surprised and blurted it out.
Xuan Bing simply said, "Whenever Senior Brother Lü was gathering his strength, Junior Brother Wu was observing the long dragon of sword energy."
The other disciples: "..."
Wei Zhen'er spoke with difficulty: "That's it?"
Xuan Bing nodded slightly.
The disciples of the Hidden Dragon Ranking looked at each other, all terrified.
No one doubted Xuan Bing's words, because Xuan Bing's strength and realm far surpassed theirs.
Xuan Bing could naturally see things more clearly than they could, and there was no need for him to deceive them.
and……
In this world, there will always be top geniuses who defy comprehension.
As disciples of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, their comprehension is naturally quite remarkable. When facing ordinary inner court disciples or even outer court disciples, the abilities they display are also unbelievable.
All I can say now is...
Junior Brother Wu is a top-tier genius with exceptional comprehension.
·
Xuan Bing had no reason to deceive the disciples of the Hidden Dragon List.
Xuanbing watched very carefully in order to explain it to his junior brother.
It was precisely because of this seriousness that he was surprised to discover that his junior brother Wu was actually "making use of what was available".
Using the roughly understood arrowhead dragon, it "crashed and killed" the weakened version of the sword energy dragon.
Even just that, Junior Brother Wu is terrifying enough.
Archery and swordsmanship are naturally very different; what Junior Brother Wu has comprehended is probably just a similar rhythm.
After this battle, when Junior Brother Wu reviews the battle, he will likely be able to obtain the prototype of his own secret technique, "Arrow of Dragons".
As he learns more, this secret technique will become increasingly perfect.
When the time is right, Junior Brother Wu will be able to obtain a new secret technique.
·
Within the Azure Dragon Academy, there are countless geniuses and prodigies, many of whom have comprehended their own cultivation methods.
However, it is truly rare to see someone who, having just entered the academy, has gained such profound insights after only a few matches and encountering formidable opponents.
·
The long dragon of sword energy shrank again.
Although the dragon head was smashed, it shrank and grew back.
Lu Yezhou was no longer able to enter the dragon head and had already landed on the ground.
His mood turned heavy.
What Xuan Bing discovered, Lü Yezhou had a clearer understanding of because he had directly confronted Wu Shaogan and even "seen" the dragon's head at close range.
Lu Yezhou never underestimated Wu Shaogan's challenge, but he never expected that he would actually be threatened.
He even used his most prized secret technique.
Now, seeing that the sword energy dragon could only sustain a limited amount of attack, Lü Yezhou's aura grew increasingly sharp.
Holding a long sword, Lü Yezhou charged swiftly toward Wu Shaogan, accompanied by a streak of sword light.
The remaining sword energy dragon, several meters long, now resembled a venomous snake spitting its tongue, and suddenly pounced on Wu Shaogan!
The thrust of the long sword energy slightly slowed Wu Shaogan's speed.
Wu Shaogan unleashed a barrage of arrows at some unknown time, which transformed into dragon heads of arrows, shattering the dragon heads of sword energy once again.
Lu Yezhou arrived quickly, his sword light about to pierce Wu Shaogan's chest.
Wu Shaogan suddenly raised his hard bow, blocking the sword light.
In this round, Lü Yezhou narrowed the gap between himself and Wu Shaogan.
However, the long dragon of sword energy shrank again.
It was only two zhang long left, hovering nearby.
Lu Yezhou unleashed his swordsmanship and began close combat with Wu Shaogan.
A long dragon of sword energy roamed nearby, carrying a subtle but palpable threat.
If Wu Shaogan is not careful, this dragon of sword energy will launch a surprise attack!
·
His swordsmanship was extremely fast, and his bowwork was also incredibly fast.
Lu Yezhou used a fierce sword technique, and Wu Shaogan swung his hard bow with extraordinary force.
The longsword struck the hard bow with a loud, continuous booming sound.
The two of them moved even faster.
The current situation seems to overlap with Wu Shaogan's previous battle for the top spot.
It looks like another fierce battle is about to begin.
·
Yu Hongyi said softly, "With Senior Brother Lü's accumulated power, he now has less than 20% of his Xuan power left."
Wei Zhen'er exclaimed in surprise, "How come Junior Brother Wu's profound energy is still so..."
She didn't know how to phrase it for a moment.
But everyone could see that many of Wu Shaogan's moves consumed a lot of Xuan energy.
If it were that Wu Shaogan was confident in his strong foundation and didn't hold back against his previous opponents, that would be understandable. But now he was facing Lü Yezhou! Every one of the top ten Enlightenment Realm experts had an extremely solid foundation.
How dare Wu Shaogan waste resources like this?
Xuan Bing said, "Junior Brother Wu must have put in a lot of effort when he was at the peak of the Palace Opening Realm."
The disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had mixed feelings.
Who hasn't put in a lot of effort?
I just don't understand how a novice disciple could reach this level!
Could it be that Junior Brother Wu has an extraordinary background? Does he have a powerful backer? And are the resources allocated to him even greater than what he could obtain within the academy?
If that were the case, even if Junior Brother Wu was very optimistic about the other benefits of Azure Dragon Academy, he should have already used the quota to get in, and there would be no need for him to participate in the recruitment assessment which only happens once every fifty years.
These disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had all actually joined the academy long ago.
When they joined the sect, many were only at the Palace Opening Realm.
One of the purposes is to lay a solid foundation and accumulate experience within the academy.
Junior Brother Wu's entry into the sect was like receiving a blessing.
The period for laying the foundation is over...
·
Xuan Bing looked at Wu Dongxiao with a questioning expression.
Wu Dongxiao shook his head.
By the time he was being valued, his uncle had already disappeared from public view.
When my uncle was at the height of his fame, he wasn't even born yet, or he was still a baby.
Therefore, he didn't know exactly how his uncle laid the foundation.
He even felt that his cold-hearted relatives were unaware of this.
Otherwise, they would definitely have mentioned it when they were teaching him.
·
Zhong Cai stared at the battle arena, her expression a mixture of tension, worry, and excitement.
What excites me is Lao Wu's outstanding comprehension, while what worries me is the injury on Lao Wu's arm.
Although it was a minor injury, I bled a lot.
Zhong Cai felt a little sorry for him.
But this time he couldn't say it was Lao Wu's carelessness, because the opponent was too strong.
Old Wu has already reached the eighth rank, so he's definitely not easy to deal with. We can't expect to take him down easily, can we?
Hopefully, Lao Wu can handle this easily in the future.
Zhong Cai sighed inwardly.
He still needs to improve his alchemy skills as soon as possible.
Once you reach the Palace Opening Realm, you can try level three pills. After returning home, he took Palace Opening Pills every day to improve his minor realm.
When the time is right, he will get more healing pills for Old Wu!
Zhong Cai understood very well that as their strength increased, and they faced cultivators of increasingly higher levels, it would be difficult to remain unharmed.
So he prepared himself.
·
Zhong Cai let out a breath.
The scene on the battle platform was no longer clearly visible.
After they were locked in a fierce battle, only two shadows remained.
At that moment, someone walked over and greeted him.
Zhong Caicai then saw that it was Shao Qing and Qiao Ming.
Shao Qing exclaimed in amazement, "Uncle Wu's profound energy is too powerful."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Cultivators all have some opportunities."
Shao Qing was taken aback.
However, Zhong Cai did not continue speaking.
·
Logically speaking, Wu Shaogan was just a member of a fifth-level family before, and his family didn't support him much. Although his strength improved rapidly, even ordinary pills were rare in that place, let alone a lot of them for him to consume.
Even if Wu Shaogan spends several years staying at the peak of the Palace Opening stage and accumulating foundation, he may be able to surpass many ordinary cultivators, but after coming to Canglong Academy, he probably won't be able to outlast the other genius disciples.
However, Wu Shaogan's foundation was much stronger.
He even surpassed Lü Yezhou, who was ranked eighth on the list.
This is very illogical.
·
However, Zhong Cai knew the reason.
The two didn't have much time to spend together, as Wu Shaogan was often traveling.
When Wu Shaogan was sixteen, he discovered a very hidden site.
There are almost no other benefits in the ruins, except for a medicinal spring.
It was also because Wu Shaogan was extremely lucky at the time.
These ruins actually originated from an ancient sect, and the medicinal spring is located in a secluded medicinal garden.
The ancient sect planted a courtyard full of medicinal herbs and used a special secret method to refine this natural medicinal spring to enhance its medicinal power.
At that time, this medicinal spring was intended to enhance the foundation of the disciples in the sect who had reached the Palace Opening Realm.
·
The upper limit of profound energy that cultivators in secret realms can use depends entirely on their accumulation at the Palace Opening Realm.
Once you reach a higher level, it's just a matter of improving the quality of your profound energy.
Unless under very special circumstances, the upper limit of Xuan Power will not change.
Many forces have opportunities to enhance the foundation of the Bi Gong, and the ancient sects provided this medicinal spring.
In fact, the medicinal spring back then couldn't have been just one spring at all.
·
As generations passed, the ancient sects disappeared.
As time went by, all the medicinal herbs in the herb garden were put into the medicinal spring. While this improved the quality of the spring, the herbs, no longer being tended to, grew wildly and gradually died out.
The medicinal properties in the medicinal spring continuously accumulate and thicken.
After some time, the other medicinal springs came together, creating a once-in-a-lifetime, top-tier opportunity.
·
After discovering the medicinal spring, Wu Shaogan cultivated there for a year.
He spent a year refining all the medicinal power and raising his foundation to a terrifying level.
Even among powerful forces, unless an extremely terrible price is paid, they would not bestow such an opportunity entirely upon a single person, leaving no way out.
Yes, after the medicinal spring was drained by Wu Shaogan, it seemed to have fulfilled its final mission and completely dissipated.
Not long after returning, Wu Shaogan's foundation was completely stabilized, and he began to work on breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm.
·
Wu Shaogan had mentioned this matter to Zhong Cai in a casual conversation.
Wu Shaogan had already planned ahead, intending to find an opportunity for his good brother A Cai during his future experiences.
·
Zhong Cai knew about this matter and also knew how promising his buddy's future would be if everything went smoothly.
Zhong Cai was so worried after Wu Shaogan was dismissed, because the change in status was simply too unbearable.
Later, when Wu Shaogan fought so many battles in a row, recklessly exhausting himself without any regard for the consequences, Zhong Cai thought it was normal.
This is more than just a filter.
·
On the battle platform.
The fight between Wu Shaogan and Lü Yezhou became increasingly intense.
Lu Yezhou's expression remained calm, but the significant depletion of his profound energy was already clearly visible.
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
However, Lü Yezhou's swordsmanship was still very fast, and he could occasionally leave a few wounds on Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan remained remarkably calm.
Every move he made was skillful and precise, and he was able to catch every sword move of Lü Yezhou.
·
The disciples watching remained silent.
In the end, they just kept wearing each other down.
·
However, a sudden and shocking change occurred!
The pupils of some disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking contracted as they were shocked to discover that Lü Yezhou had reappeared in a corner of the battle arena!
The disciples quickly realized what was happening.
This is the avatar formed by Senior Brother Lü, created using the academy's internal combat techniques.
The incarnation possesses the same abilities as Senior Brother Lü.
The situation is now turning into a two-on-one battle!
Many people understand that the strong have their pride.
During the ranking battles on the battle arena, disciples usually do not release their avatars.
Whether or not we can unite is one thing, but the key issue is that directly creating a two-against-one situation is somewhat unsightly.
But if you're about to lose, things are different.
Many disciples almost forgot that the top twenty disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking should have already condensed their avatars.
Lu Yezhou had never had the opportunity to use it before, which is why people couldn't remember it.
·
Wu Shaogan keenly noticed the changes in the airflow on the battle platform.
Then, he suddenly moved!
Lu Yezhou's longsword approached him with incredible speed.
Behind Wu Shaogan, an equally terrifying power erupted!
It was a sword light similar to the one that surrounded Lü Yezhou.
Wu Shaogan suddenly leaped into the air, rising from the ground.
A loud crash came from the ground beneath his feet.
Upon closer inspection, several fine cracks were visible in that spot.
Wu Shaogan somehow managed to shoot an arrow downwards.
This force brought him tremendous impact.
Wu Shaogan also used the impact to increase his speed.
·
It turned out that the moment Lü Yezhou appeared in his avatar, he had already released another long dragon of sword energy.
It remains an enormous entity, dominating the entire battle arena.
The moment it appeared, the long dragon of sword energy coordinated with Lü Yezhou's true form to attack Wu Shaogan!
Wu Shaogan charged straight ahead, barely managing to avoid the pincer attack.
Despite this, he still had many sword marks on his legs.
He was injured by the aftershocks of the impact from the collision of the two sword energies.
·
Wu Shaogan's expression darkened slightly.
He was already not entirely at ease when facing Lü Yezhou alone, and now with another one added, it was naturally even more troublesome.
Wu Shaogan drew his bow instantly without holding back.
This time, he used up 50% of his profound energy.
His mind was very clear, as if a strange enlightenment was constantly flowing through him.
As this realization dawned, countless arrows burst forth and quickly coalesced.
From the dragon's head to its body, it took shape very quickly.
It's just like... exactly the same as when the sword energy dragon was formed!
·
Wu Shaogan slit his wrist.
Blood flowed out, all of it landing on the long dragon of arrows.
The formation of the long dragon of arrows accelerated, and it rapidly turned blood red.
·
Lu Yezhou's avatar reacted quickly, rapidly driving the sword energy dragon towards the faintly visible blood-red dragon!
Wu Shaogan remained calm and focused his mind.
The crimson dragon and the sword-qi dragon clashed violently together.
The two attacked each other fiercely, with arrows and sword flashes constantly darting about.
Wu Shaogan himself fell rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he was fighting Lü Yezhou again.
·
Countless intense explosions resounded on the battle platform.
Wu Shaogan had a slight smile on his face.
Blood kept gushing from his wrist.
As if propelled by some strange force, the blood did not flow down, but instead surged upwards rapidly.
Then, swiftly, it plunged into the hard bow.
The hard bow was coated with a layer of blood.
Small arrows kept appearing on the bowstring.
Strangely, these arrows seemed to burst forth automatically, continuously hurtling towards Lü Yezhou.
Lu Yezhou was so bothered that he developed many bloodstains on his body.
Wu Shaogan slightly vibrated his wrist.
His face was extremely handsome, but now it had lost all color and turned pale.
However, it unexpectedly generated a strange attraction.
Lu Yezhou could sense that those bloodstains contained an unusual power.
It wasn't just a simple flesh wound; as the injury worsened, it caused him excruciating pain all over his body and made his movements sluggish.
·
The collision between the blood-red dragon and the sword-qi dragon was terrifying; the collision created a huge storm!
They fiercely pounced on each other, relentlessly destroying each other's bodies.
Lu Yezhou's avatar soared into the air and attacked Wu Shaogan directly.
Several images suddenly appeared around Wu Shaogan.
He was mixed in with Wu Shaogan himself and was difficult to distinguish.
Lu Yezhou's avatar passed through these images extremely quickly.
But the moment he passed through, the image suddenly exploded!
Suddenly, many imperfections appeared on Lü Yezhou's body.
This had little impact on the incarnation, who still headed straight for Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan started by playing against two opponents.
The two Lü Yezhous used extremely similar techniques, cooperating seamlessly.
Wu Shaogan seemed to be gradually losing ground again.
During their battle, the three constantly changed positions.
Wu Shaogan suffered many more wounds on his body.
Each drop of blood would fall onto the bowstring, transforming into a crimson arrow.
However, all these arrows were aimed at Lü Yezhou himself.
Lü Yezhou's condition is getting worse and worse.
But he would not give up so easily, and continued to fight back calmly, looking for an opportunity to defeat Wu Shaogan.
However……
Lü Yezhou had no chance.
·
"boom--"
An extremely terrifying explosion occurred on the battle platform.
A crimson light swept out, exploding together with the white sword energy!
Countless forces clashed and collided, causing a series of explosions.
Both sides on the stage were enveloped in intense light.
The billowing smoke and dust gathered together, resembling rolling clouds.
Then, they suddenly dispersed.
Both the crimson dragon and the sword-qi dragon disappeared.
Even the incarnation has vanished without a trace.
Lu Yezhou leaned against the edge of the fighting platform, his face ashen, clearly no longer able to fight.
Not far away, Wu Shaogan stood silently, covered in blood.
His chest was blown open, revealing faintly visible snow-white ribs and flesh that was both bright red and charred black.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly, looking incredibly handsome.
Of all his bodies, only his face remains in perfect condition.
·
Lu Yezhou looked helplessly at himself, then at his junior brother Wu who seemed completely oblivious to the pain, and said weakly, "I lost."
Wu Shaogan turned his head to look, still smiling, and said softly, "Thank you for your kind offer."
·
The player ranked eighth has now changed.
·
At that moment, a light footstep leaped onto the stage.
Wu Shaogan turned his head to look.
Right in front of me was a handsome face with no expression.
Wu Shaogan: "..."
