Chapter 45 - Xingyun Pavilion - Mo Chen
Tie Niu's victory was like the first thunderclap of the Guixu Sect's ranking battle! In the most brutal and unreasonable way, it announced the arrival of the most hardcore! The next battle will surely be even more violent!
"Brother Tie Niu! You're amazing! If you're just a little bit off, your opponent will be finished!" Su Tang said excitedly with sparkling eyes...
Tie Niu was a little overwhelmed by the praise and scratched his head, "Hehe, I don't know how I feel. I won by just moving."
"Sit down and have a good rest, and watch other people's games." Luo Hongyi looked at Tie Niu and Su Tang and laughed a little as if they were telling a crosstalk.
The competition progressed very quickly. Several groups had already gone down. Most of them were of mediocre strength, with only one or two newcomers who were very strong.
Everyone from Guixu Sect felt sleepy after watching this, but the next person made them perk up.
Next: Number Five from Wu: Mo Chen from Xingyun Pavilion vs Shi Poshan from Xuanjia Sect!
"Xingyun Pavilion? That little sect that's obsessed with stargazing and divination all day long?"
"Shi Poshan from the Xuanjia Sect? I heard his 'Black Turtle Spirit Armor' withstood a full-strength attack from an early Nascent Soul cultivator! His defense is insane!"
"No suspense, right? Xuanjia Sect will definitely win!"
Amidst the discussions, two figures stepped onto the stage.
On one side was Shi Poshan from the Xuanjia Sect, who was nearly ten feet tall, with muscles as muscular as rocks, and bronze skin with faint, mysterious tortoise-shell-like patterns flowing through it.
He carried a huge black iron shield on his back, and when he stood on the stage, he gave people a heavy sense of oppression that was as immovable as a mountain and indestructible.
The heavy earth-type spiritual power fluctuations at the peak of the Golden Core Realm made the air a little thicker.
On the other hand, Mo Chen from Xingyun Pavilion seemed completely different.
He was tall and slender, wearing a dark blue robe dotted with tiny stars. He had a calm temperament, even a bit of bookish air.
He has a handsome face and deep eyes, as if reflecting the boundless starry sky.
He held no weapon, only an ancient scroll that seemed woven from starlight. His aura was restrained, making it difficult to fathom his depth.
"Boy from Xingyun Pavilion, admit defeat! My Black Turtle Spirit Armor can't be broken by those fancy starlights of yours!" Shi Poshan's voice was like a loud bell, and with absolute confidence, he suddenly inserted the heavy black iron shield into the ground in front of him!
Boom! A circle of condensed ochre-colored spiritual light spread out from the shield, instantly forming a huge translucent light shield covered with tortoise-shell patterns around him! The light shield was thick and solid, exuding an indestructible aura!
"Black Turtle Guarding the Mountain·Immovable Wall!" Shi Poshan growled and adopted the most thorough defensive posture, obviously intending to deal with all kinds of changes with the same strategy and wear down his opponent.
Faced with this mountain-like defense, Mo Chen's face showed no emotion at all. He just slowly unfolded the starlight scroll in his hand.
The pages of the book moved without wind. There were no words on them, but flowing, brilliant star tracks! His deep eyes looked at Shi Poshan, and it seemed as if a galaxy was spinning in the depths of his pupils.
"The star's trajectory is set, and the destiny is revealed." Mo Chen's voice was clear and calm, yet it carried a strange rhythm that seemed to penetrate everything. "Fellow Daoist Shi, your 'Immovable Wall'... your vital point is three inches below the 'Di Kui' star position. The flow of spiritual energy is delayed by 0.7 breaths."
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Shi Poshan any time to react, his right index finger had already pointed into the air! Pure star power lingered at his fingertips, as if it came from the nine heavens!
"Tianxuan Lock!"
A brilliant starlight shot out from his fingertips, not attacking the light shield, but instantly disappearing into the sky above the summit platform! The next moment, a visible chain of pure starlight suddenly appeared above Shi Poshan's head, ignoring the heavy "Immovable Wall" light shield and wrapping itself with incredible precision around a point below his left ribs—the exact spot Mo Chen had mentioned, "three inches below the Di Kui Star position"!
"What the hell?!" Shi Poshan was horrified! He felt his spiritual energy suddenly stagnate where the chains entangled him! Although it was only a very brief moment, the "Immovable Wall" light shield, which he was so proud of, was affected by this momentary delay in the flow of spiritual energy at this core node. The entire light fluctuated violently, and its defensive power dropped sharply!
"Right now." Mo Chen seemed to be stating a fact. The Starlight Scroll in his left hand shone brightly, and with his right hand, he stretched out his five fingers and grabbed towards Shi Poshan!
"The stars shift, the constellations turn!"
The entire space of the arena seemed to twist! Shi Poshan and his massive black iron shield were grabbed by an invisible hand and forcibly "pulled" from their original position!
Then, he was smashed to the edge of the arena dozens of feet away by an irresistible force!
BANG!!!
Like a meteorite crashing to the ground! Amidst a tremendous roar, a shallow crater was smashed into the obsidian ground! Smoke and dust filled the air!
Shi Poshan was thrown to the ground, completely dazed. Although the Black Turtle Spirit Armor protected him from serious injury, he was completely buried in the ground, looking utterly miserable! His proud "Immovable Wall" light shield, under the force of the spatial shift, shattered like paper! The massive black iron heavy shield flew off his hand and flew a long way!
The entire Wanxiantai was in deathly silence!
Everyone, including the high-ranking elders of the major sects, were stunned!
what happened?
The young man from Xingyun Pavilion just said a few words, nodded, and shook hands?
Shi Poshan, the Xuanjia Sect's most formidable defender at the peak of the Jindan realm, who was said to be able to withstand a Yuanying cultivator, was thrown out like a broken sack?!
Where's his defense? Where's his immovable state?!
"What kind of method is this?!" a cultivator exclaimed in shock.
"Words become reality? Spatial teleportation? Xingyun Pavilion... is it that terrifying?!"
"The vital point he mentioned... is it true? How did he know?!"
"Quick! Check the background of this Mo Chen!"
In the "Dingzimo" area, the pupils of the Guixu Sect also shrank slightly.
Xie Zhao was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breathing, preparing for the next fierce battle. He opened his eyes at this moment, and a trace of solemnity and strong interest flashed in his peach blossom eyes: "Star trajectory deduction? Word spirit destiny? Spatial displacement? Interesting... This method is quite unconventional, and also quite tough!"
Chu Linyuan's icy eyes swept across the calm, star-like Mo Chen on the stage, then glanced at the stunned Shi Poshan, nodding slightly. This kind of extremely precise insight and control was worth noting.
Luo Hongyi curled her red lips slightly: "Astrology? I wonder if you can calculate when he was poisoned."
Tie Niu scratched his head: "He is quite strong too? He can throw people so far."
Su Tang was the most excited. Her psychic eyes were working at full power as she stared intently at the starlight scroll in Mo Chen's hand and the traces of the star chains that had not yet dissipated. Her face flushed with excitement. "Wow! The power of the stars! Spatial teleportation! Words become reality? This is the stuff of legends! Family! Did you see that? The mysterious astrologer crushes the defensive madman! The title is 'The Art of Space Guided by the Stars'! The reward channel is open! I want to interview him!"
On the podium, Mo Chen slowly closed the Book of Starlight, and the star power at his fingertips dissipated, as if he had just brushed away a cloud of dust.
He looked at Shi Poshan, who was struggling to climb out of the pit, his face full of shame, anger and disbelief, and said calmly, "Thank you."
"Winner! Xingyun Pavilion, Mo Chen!" The referee's voice sounded with great shock.
There were no earth-shattering explosions, no bloody fights. Mo Chen effortlessly crushed his opponent in a manner that was almost elegant, yet subverted everyone's perceptions!
The name of Mo Chen from Xingyun Pavilion spread throughout Wanxiantai in an instant! Mysterious, powerful, and unfathomable! He became one of the biggest dark horses of this competition!
