Chapter 14 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (14)
All eyes followed Shang Bu's body.
Then, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Shang Bu was also stunned by the fall. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment expert, so the fall wouldn't have seriously injured him, but it mainly made him mentally impaired. He got up and swayed for a while before realizing that he had just been sent flying by Jin Shu.
In the past, if he had lost to Jin Shu, he would have accepted it wholeheartedly without any suspense.
But what is Jin Shu now? She's a useless piece of trash with her spiritual roots destroyed!
He couldn't save face.
If he still can't see the problem now, then there's something wrong with his brain.
"Your spiritual veins have recovered?!"
Jin Shu didn't say anything.
Not denying it is tantamount to admitting it.
This bombshell news shocked everyone watching, both those below and those above.
Shang Bu gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that someone whose spiritual veins had just recovered could be that powerful. He had been careless just now.
"Again!"
He suddenly rushed forward, and with a flash of light in his hand, two sharp blades stabbed towards Jin Shu's waist!
That place is where the spiritual veins are located. If it is injured there, it would be tantamount to annihilation for a cultivator.
Moreover, Jin Shu's spiritual veins have just recovered.
Everyone could see through the Ministry of Commerce's intentions, especially Jingye and the others who were closest to it; they saw it very clearly.
But they knew that if they made a sound, they might distract Jin Shu.
Since she was able to defeat the merchant with a single palm strike earlier, she should be confident that she can dodge this now.
"Senior Sister, watch out!!"
Meng Ling cried out, caught off guard.
The Ministry of Commerce, which had been hesitant, decided to go all out and launch a full-scale attack!
Jin Shu stood there, a ball of spiritual energy gathering in her palm.
Just when everyone thought she was going to confront the Ministry of Commerce head-on, Jin Shu, who had been standing there steadily just a second ago, suddenly disappeared the next second.
The Minister of Commerce missed his target. Just as he was about to turn around to check behind him, Jin Shu, who had teleported behind him, kicked him to the ground.
Before he could react, Jin Shu pressed her sword against his neck, then with a flick of her other hand, countless spiritual blades slashed toward Shang Bu.
"ah--!!"
The man screamed terribly.
His clothes were ripped into strips by the sharp blade, and his lower body was especially exposed to the cold.
In addition, Jin Shu raised her long sword and slashed Shang Bu's face.
After the screams ended, Shang Bu covered his face and looked at her in fear.
"I'm not fighting anymore, I give up!"
With a flick of her finger, Jin Shu's longsword automatically retracted.
She was exhausted after the battle, and continuing would not do her any good.
After the trial ended, Jin Shu took a step back, not bothering to bow to the four Immortal Venerables as required by custom, and turned to leave.
The Ministry of Commerce was badly beaten.
His entire body was covered in sores, and the word "incompetent" was even etched on his face.
These wounds are nothing to worry about; they can all be healed with some miraculous medicine later.
The main problem was that Jin Shu shattered the spiritual veins of the Ministry of Commerce with a single palm strike.
It wasn't destroyed, but it's not much better than destroyed. It will require a lot of spiritual herbs to repair it and make it possible to restore it.
Some people felt that Jin Shu's actions were very satisfying, after all, the Shang Department's previous words were disgusting, and their methods were ruthless and aimed directly at Jin Shu's weaknesses.
However, some people believe that since they are all from the same sect, Jin Shu's actions are too cruel and hurt the feelings between fellow disciples.
As soon as she stepped off the stage, Jingye grabbed her arm.
When did your spiritual veins recover?
"What's it to you?"
"Junior sister, why have you become so eccentric and violent? I was just worried about you, you don't have to be like this."
Jin Shu has always been aloof and taciturn.
People were used to her aloofness and magnanimity, so seeing her like this now naturally made them feel uncomfortable.
"If you're worried about me, you didn't show any concern when those people said I wasn't."
"I plan to teach them a lesson in the ring."
"Hmm, what if we don't encounter them in the arena?"
"I……"
The quiet night fell silent.
He had already expressed his concern, so why was Jin Shu still so aggressive, forcing him into such an awkward situation?
"Alright, stop showing me this useless concern. You should spend more time cultivating."
Jingye was cornered and blushed.
It felt like Jin Shu had slapped him; his face was burning with pain.
"Why is Senior Sister acting like this? It seems like she doesn't like us."
Meng Ling spoke cautiously.
Then he turned around and asked Lianxin.
"Senior Sister was so powerful just now, could you tell her cultivation level? To be able to defeat a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, she must be at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"
Lianxin shook her head.
"Maybe."
He then added.
"The term 'middle realm' is an exaggeration. Senior Sister's moves just now used less spiritual power and were mainly based on fist and foot techniques."
"My senior sister learned many mortal skills from the War God Haohuang when she was young. I had never seen them before, and seeing them today is truly astonishing."
Meng Ling seemed to be deep in thought.
"Then why don't we learn martial arts and instead focus solely on spiritual cultivation?"
"How many people in the Immortal Realm still know these skills? Everyone is competing in spiritual power. Without spiritual power, no matter how powerful your fist and foot techniques are, they are useless."
So don't overthink it; the most important thing right now is to improve your cultivation level.
Meng Ling nodded.
He then instinctively clenched his fist.
In the subsequent trials, most of the other disciples were eliminated, and those who were finally assigned to sixth- or fifth-grade immortal mountains were the only ones left.
In the end, besides the dozen or so closed-door disciples, there were also several newly emerged geniuses whose cultivation had greatly improved.
When masters clash, the spectacle is truly extraordinary.
At this point, it basically became a contest of face among the four immortal venerables.
They are all disciples of the same master. If one disciple loses more, the other will lose face completely.
Before the competition, Immortal Venerable Canglan specially called Meng Ling aside.
"During the competition, you must not reveal your six spiritual roots."
Remember what I'm about to say: What are the fatal weaknesses of the opponents you face?
Meng Ling listened attentively.
She was exceptionally intelligent and possessed a photographic memory; no matter how much Canglan said, she could remember it clearly.
Finally, she asked a question.
What if I draw a senior brother or sister?
"That's possible, but they'll let you have your way and will never hurt you."
Meng Ling nodded, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"If you have any concerns, please speak now."
"What if I run into my senior sister? She doesn't like me. I just saw how ruthless she was. She's so powerful, I'm afraid if I run into her, I'll get beaten up badly too."
She knew about everyone else's shortcomings.
Except for Jin Shu's.
After thinking for a while, Canglan felt that Meng Ling's concerns were not unreasonable.
“Your senior sister inherited the bloodline of General Haohuang, and has an extremely high pain tolerance. Ordinary injuries will not affect her in the slightest.”
