Chapter 242: I'm showing off
"Am I seeing right? That's a flaming bomb?!"
"Where is this woman so stupid that she was blown away by a flame bomb?"
"A flaming bomb defeated a foundation-building warrior. This is so funny!"
"What flame bomb? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Qigong practitioners could not understand anything else, but they recognized the Flame Bomb. Even though the appearance of the Flame Bomb fired by Gao Xian was a little different and the flame burst was a little fierce, it was still a Flame Bomb no matter how you looked at it!
After everyone was shocked, they began to question. Most of the Qigong practitioners thought that there was something wrong with the female foundation-building practitioner. She was blown away by a flaming bomb. Was she made of paper? !
Many people just like to point fingers. Even if they don't understand anything, they will still use their little common sense and brains to criticize.
Besides, everyone knows low-level spells like Flame Bomb. Few of them can understand the spells used by foundation-building monks.
Finally, I could understand a spell, but I couldn't understand the battle process at all. This puzzled many Qigong practitioners, and then they had all kinds of doubts.
There were tens of thousands of cultivators watching the battle. They gathered together and were not afraid of the foundation-building cultivator on the stage. They all dared to shout loudly.
The less they understood, the louder they shouted. Those who could understand a little dared not speak nonsense.
Not all Qigong practitioners were stupid, some noticed that this flaming bomb easily tore through the golden light technique. This alone meant that it couldn't be an ordinary flaming bomb.
Those Qigong practitioners who understood a little bit would not explain for Gao Xian. First of all, they had nothing to do with Gao Xian, so there was no need for them to explain for Gao Xian.
Secondly, they only partially understand what they see and cannot explain the logic.
On the contrary, it is a group of people who shout that they don’t understand, and their voices are particularly loud, which in turn influences the views of the majority.
It turns out that as long as there are more idiots speaking out and their voices are louder, it will affect the judgment of most ordinary people.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators who truly understood what was happening all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Although the female foundation-building cultivator was only in the initial stage of foundation-building, she activated the golden talisman, protective qi, and also held the sword in her hand to activate her magic power.
She activated a total of triple protection!
Gao Xian fired a flaming bullet that tore through the triple defenses, blasted the female foundation-building cultivator away, and burned her to ashes!
Judging from the power of this flaming bomb, if there is another flaming bomb, this female foundation-building cultivator will definitely die.
Such power is really terrifying! Gao Xian is very famous. Everyone knows that he writes good novels and has a high level of discussion on scriptures and law.
However, few people actually know Gao Xian's background.
After all, if you want to investigate Gao Xian's situation thoroughly, you need not only financial resources but also connections.
The foundation-building monks who came to participate in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly all came to Qingyun Sect to fight for their status. They did not have the ability to investigate Gao Xian, nor did they have the need to investigate Gao Xian.
The four spiritual bodies of the foundation-building monks were the favorites to win the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. The foundation-building monks who felt they had a chance of winning all focused their energy on these four.
It was not until Gao Xian appeared that many foundation-building cultivators realized how terrifyingly powerful he was.
Wei Shuangshuang, who was standing in the east stand, opened her eyes wide. She grabbed Wei Cheng's arm with one hand and shouted in disbelief, "Our neighbor is a little too powerful!"
Wei Shuangshuang felt that he was about the same as the female monk. Even if he was slightly stronger than the other party, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand this flaming bomb.
We are all cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, how can the gap between us be so huge!
She was shocked and very confused.
Wei Cheng frowned deeply: "It looks like a flaming bomb, but its power is a hundred times stronger than an ordinary flaming bomb. I don't understand it."
Yuan Lin, who was standing next to him, guessed, "Could this person be some kind of fire spirit? Is that why the flaming bombs he controls are so terrifying?"
Tong Yan, who has an ordinary appearance, said: "It may also be a powerful fire magic weapon."
Wei Shuangshuang nodded repeatedly, this guess was quite reliable. She asked Wei Cheng again, "Husband, do you think Gao Xian can win the championship?"
Yuan Lin hesitated and said, "If Gao Xian is only proficient in flaming bombs, there is always a way to restrain him."
The other two foundation-building monks nodded. There were more than 400 foundation-building monks participating in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. The outcome would be decided in one battle. They would need to win at least eight games in a row to win the championship.
By the last few rounds, others will definitely find a way to restrain Gao Xian's Flame Bomb.
On the south stands, Li Feihuang clenched her fists. After not seeing Gao Xian for a year, his flame bomb became even more powerful. She was confused and resentful about it.
She couldn't help but ask Li Chengfeng: "Grandmaster, what's the matter with Gao Xian's magic? How can it become stronger and stronger?"
Li Chengfeng also hesitated. He could see that Gao Xian's cultivation had improved and his magic power was obviously more powerful and pure.
A year ago, although Gao Xian fired flame bombs quickly, they were not so powerful. Now the power of the flame bombs has at least doubled. If Gao Xian can still maintain that high speed, the power will be even more terrifying.
Fortunately, Fei Huang is a fire phoenix spirit, which can restrain fire spells to the greatest extent. Even so, it is definitely not pleasant.
Li Chengfeng comforted Li Feihuang: "You happen to be able to restrain his flame bomb, which is a good thing. Gao Xian can help you clear a lot of obstacles."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao who were not far away. Zhang Zhengxin's thunder magic was very powerful and could actually restrain Li Feihuang's fire phoenix spirit.
Lu Shidao is a Xuanyang spirit body, and is somewhat restrained by Li Feihuang.
According to the current ranking, Zhang Zhengxin happened to meet Gao Xian first. This seems to be a good thing.
Although Li Chengfeng is only an eighth-grade golden elixir, he has practiced for more than 700 years and has reached the late stage of golden elixir. In terms of cultivation alone, he is not much worse than Lu Jingxu, Li Ye and others.
Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao controlled their emotions well, but they could not escape Li Chengfeng's powerful spiritual observation.
These two Foundation Establishment monks who were known as geniuses were obviously shocked by Gao Xian. Their muscles were tense and their eyes were solemn.
The same is true for people like Luo Xiujun and Li Qingfeng.
Gao Xian's Fiery Bomb was too powerful and completely violated the common sense of magic. Anyone who saw it for the first time would be very shocked.
Just like the two Jindan Zhenren Lu Jingxu and Li Ye, they were also looking at Gao Xian very seriously at this time, using their spiritual sense to observe the traces of magic power left by the flaming bomb.
The two Jindan Zhenren were a little confused. Lu Jingxu looked deep in thought, while Li Ye stared at Gao Xian with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Shui Yuying also had a complicated expression. It had only been over a month since Gao Xian defeated Xing Shan, but how come the power of Gao Xian's flame bomb had increased a lot? The structure of his spell was obviously more sophisticated and rigorous. This could not be explained by a simple increase in magic power.
Compared to Lu Jingxu and Li Ye, Shui Yuying was actually more surprised. She felt that she could not see through Gao Xian.
Yin Lihua's face turned even paler. She had already understood that even after taking the Five Evils Soul-burning Pill, she couldn't defeat Gao Xian in this state. This made her feel quite desperate...
As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
Gao Xian only used one flaming bomb and shocked all the foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators.
Even Yun Qiu Shui, who knew Gao Xian very well, was surprised.
When Gao Xian came back, Yun Qiushui whispered to him, "Brother Gao, your magic has improved again. It's amazing."
The stable structure of the spell itself determines the upper limit of the spiritual energy that the spell can carry and the upper limit of its power.
Yun Qiushui was not being polite, he really admired him. Gao Xian kept improving and upgrading his low-level spells, as if there was no limit! Gao Xian said modestly: "I think about it day and night, and I have made some progress."
No matter how close he was to Yun Qiushui, he couldn't talk about the Fengyue Baojian. Forcing an explanation would only expose the problem, so he could only attribute it to his talent.
Anyway, there are huge differences in the talents of cultivators, whether it is spiritual body, Dharma body, or Tao body, some cultivators can form a pill or transform into an infant after a little practice.
It's not surprising that he has mastered magic.
Yun Qiushui shook his head: "With this flaming bomb, except for Li Feihuang who can resist a little, no one else can do it."
Yun Qiu Shui knew that Gao Xian could release flaming bombs and ice arrows in succession. One flaming bomb could be blocked easily, but if dozens of flaming bombs were fired at the same time, the scene would be terrifying to imagine.
"I can't embarrass Brother Yun by bringing him to the Dharma Assembly. Besides, with my sister at the top, it will be easy to capture him!"
Gao Xian smiled and bowed: "Brother Yun, please take care of me in the future."
Yun Qiushui burst out laughing. Gao Xian's jokes were always so funny. He also bowed in return: "Hello, Junior Brother Gao."
They both laughed and were quite happy.
The following battle on the sword arena was lackluster. Only Luo Xiujun took the stage and displayed her exquisite five-element magic, which drew cheers from the audience.
The first round of fighting did not end until noon the next day.
When the second round of fighting began, the fighting became more intense. Many foundation-building cultivators were injured, and some were seriously injured.
Fortunately, there were two Jindan Zhenren serving as referees, who were always able to stop the game in advance and avoid casualties.
Li Feihuang, who was the first to appear in the second round, quickly defeated his opponent. Others such as Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao also passed the test easily.
By the time Gao Xian appeared, it was already the Chou hour.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and not a single star could be seen. Fortunately, there were hundreds of floating lights around the sword arena, illuminating the arena as bright as day.
Gao Xian's opponent this time is a middle-aged sturdy man. This man has a calm look in his eyes and sophisticated manners. It is obvious at first glance that he is a man who has been through many battles.
Without waiting for anything to happen, the middle-aged strong man first activated the Mystic Ice Shield Talisman and the Guishui Body Protection Technique, and then activated his innate magical power, the Liuhe Gangqi.
It was obvious that the middle-aged strong man knew that he would have to fight with Gao Xian and had made preparations early.
Gao Xian smiled, saluted, and then launched the flame bomb.
Although the middle-aged man was well prepared, he found that all his preparations were useless when he really faced Gao Xian. Gao Xian's flame bomb was too fast! It landed on him in a flash of red light, leaving him no chance to dodge.
The thick black ice shield shattered and melted in the red flames, and the dense layer of water light from the Guishui body protection technique was also blasted away.
The middle-aged sturdy man urged his sword in panic, and with one strike of the sword, the Liuhe Gangqi exploded, extinguishing all the red flames that swept over.
This made the middle-aged man happy that he had survived the attack. But he immediately fell into fear and despair, because the second red light had already entered his eyes.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The middle-aged sturdy man once again swung his sword to activate the Liuhe Gangqi, and a burst of flames blew him and his sword away.
The magic circle on the sword-fighting arena flickered with light, blocking the sweeping flames but allowing the middle-aged man to fly out of the arena.
This is also the design of the magic circle itself. It does not prevent people from entering and exiting, but only blocks the changes in magic power such as spells and magic tools to prevent harm to practitioners outside.
The audience watching the fight were in an uproar again. It was another flame bomb, and Gao Xian easily defeated his opponent.
Many Qigong practitioners were puzzled. The middle-aged man had clearly used two water-based protective spells that were very effective against fire-based spells, so how could he still lose so easily? Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao were not surprised.
Gao Xian's flaming bomb was simply superb, and its power even reached the top level of the second-tier spell. Trying to restrain Gao Xian's flaming bomb with ordinary second-tier water spells was like trying to extinguish a fire in a cup of water. How could it be possible?
In the third round, Gao Xian took the stage again, and this time he used three flame bombs to defeat his opponent.
In the fourth round, Gao Xian also defeated his opponent with three serves.
The foundation-building monks who could make it to the fourth round all possessed unique skills, and every battle was very exciting.
Even geniuses like Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao had to use their unique skills to defeat their opponents.
Only when it comes to Gao Xian, no matter what opponent he encounters, he can solve it with flame bombs, and it is solved very easily.
Most of the Qigong practitioners watching the battle on site were very puzzled by this, and many even felt that there was some shady deal going on.
The main reason is that the Qigong practitioners are too weak, and they are unable to truly understand the power of the flaming bombs through the protective formation of the sword arena.
Gao Xian could naturally hear these discussions, and he just found it funny.
In the fifth round, Gao Xian took the stage again, and this time he met Lu Shidao, the genius with the Xuanyang spiritual body.
Lu Shidao is only twenty-seven years old this year, a few years younger than Gao Xian, but he is already in the middle stage of foundation building and has ignited two rays of innate spiritual light.
Normally, his cultivation should be stronger than Gao Xian’s.
In fact, Gao Xian has various secret techniques, and he is better than Lu Shidao in both physical and magical power.
The powerful body blessed by Vajradhara is far superior to Lu Shidao. In addition, the spiritual consciousness blessed by Taizhen Puppet God makes Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness comparable to Li Chengfeng.
In this state, Gao Xian never regards Lu Shidao and others as his opponents.
Of course, Lu Shidao attached great importance to Gao Xian, but he did not prepare any water-related spells or magic tools.
He is not good at these things. It is stupid to choose spells and magic weapons that he is not good at in order to restrain the flaming bomb.
Lu Shidao felt that he had a strong spiritual awareness and superb swordsmanship, and he also had two powerful magic weapons, the Liuhe Mirror and the Xuanyang Sword, so he had a good chance of winning against Gao Xian.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, please."
"please."
The two men had only met once, so there was no need to be polite on the sword-fighting stage. After exchanging greetings, they attacked at the same time.
Lu Shidao first activated the Liuhe Mirror. This mirror was only the size of a three-year-old child's palm. Its appearance was like a bronze plate, but its interior was made up of six bronze mirrors pieced together.
In coordination with his Liuhe Xuanyang Gangqi, the Liuhe Mirror suddenly stretched out into six bronze mirrors four or five feet high, surrounding Lu Shidao in the middle.
The six bronze mirrors shone with red-gold mysterious sun light at the same time, which was extremely strong and dazzling.
The cultivators watching the battle nearby felt their eyes brighten, but most people could not see anything.
The light from the Liuhe Mirror was too bright and Gao Xian couldn't look directly at it. He closed his right eye and only observed Lu Shidao through his left eye which was equipped with the Flower-Jianging Mirror.
In the Candlelight Netherworld mode, Gao Xian could easily see the two shining spiritual lights in Lu Shidao's body, see him turning his magic power, and see the subtle resonance between him and the Liuhe Mirror.
“It’s quite impressive.”
Gao Xian didn't want to delay time, and he didn't admire Lu Shidao very much. Although this man looked polite, he was actually very arrogant and conceited.
Yun Qiu Shui is also arrogant and conceited, but he is genuine in his nature, whereas Lu Shidao pretends to be polite and humble, which makes him seem quite boring.
Gao Xian also admitted that he had a filter for Yun Qiu Shui. Yun Qiu Shui was his good friend, so of course he had to side with Yun Qiu Shui. People like Lu Shidao were not qualified to compare with Yun Qiu Shui.
Lu Shidao had no idea what Gao Xian was thinking, so he said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Gao, your flaming bombs are superb. It is my honor to have the opportunity to learn from you. Please do your best and don't be polite..."
He activated the Liuhe Mirror and the Liuhe Xuanyang Gangqi, and thought he was ready and could speak nicely.
"This is a crude spell. Sorry for the poor performance."
As Gao Xian was speaking, nine consecutive flaming bombs were fired down in a flash.
Nine flaming bombs exploded at the same time, and hundreds of flames engulfed Lu Shidao like a sea of fire.
The many Qigong practitioners in the audience were greatly shocked. Before this, Gao Xian had only fired three flaming bombs at most, and they could not see anything.
Nine flaming bombs were fired in succession, and the earth-shaking and violent power was enough to shock people even through the protective magic circle.
The Liuhe Mirrors around Lu Shidao shrank and vibrated at the same time. The six huge bronze mirrors were connected by aura, forming a tight protection that kept the high temperature of the flames out and also resisted the impact of the flames.
This also made Lu Shidao feel relieved. No matter how powerful the magic was, it was not as powerful as the magic weapon. Moreover, his Liuhe Mirror was already a third-level magic weapon.
At this moment, another nine points of red light shot out.
Lu Shidao sneered inwardly. With such powerful spells, let's see how many Gao Xian can unleash!
The Liuhe Mirror shone with golden light, reflecting most of the flaming impact and once again steadily blocking the nine flaming bombs.
Before Lu Shidao could breathe a sigh of relief, nine more red lights fell. Lu Shidao felt a little nervous. How much magic power did this Gao Xian have? How could he continue to cast spells without any breathing or adjustment? Lu Shidao once again survived these nine flaming bombs, but he could already feel the blazing heat of the flaming bombs that could melt gold and iron. He felt like he was about to be roasted.
There was also a stagnation in the operation of the Liuhe Mirror, and it was unable to completely block the power of the flaming bomb.
As a result, before Lu Shidao could catch his breath, another nine points of red light shot out. What shocked Lu Shidao even more was that behind the nine points of red light, there were dozens of densely packed red lights...
He had only one thought in his mind: "What kind of evil method is this? It's over!"
The eyes of the many foundation-building monks who were watching the battle were filled with dense red light. Even their brains were occupied by that red light. They temporarily lost control of their emotions and bodies, revealing expressions of shock, anxiety, fear, etc.
Zhang Zhengxin, Luo Xiujun, Li Qingfeng and other foundation-building cultivators who were known as geniuses all looked pale.
Li Feihuang, who was confident that she could completely control the flame bomb, also had a pale face.
“Boom boom boom boom…”
The raging flames were released wantonly, and the ancient sword-fighting arena seemed to be melting in the flames.
A figure flashed, and Lu Shidao rushed out from the sword-testing platform.
His snow-white clothes were now full of black holes, and his head and face were also charred. He looked like a corpse snatched from a fire, miserable and miserable, with no trace of the elegance and grace he had in his fluttering white clothes...
The sound of jade chimes rang out at this time.
Although many practitioners in the audience had expected this, they still felt sad when they saw Lu Shidao lose so miserably.
The red light on the stage dissipated, and Gao Xian, wearing a green robe and carrying a sword, bowed to Lu Shidao from a distance and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm grateful for your help."
Lu Shidao was silent, and all the cultivators watching the battle in the audience were silent.
