Chapter 411 Two-Person Competition 2
Cheng Jiu: "..."
How ruthless! Feeling two more gazes fixed on her, Cheng Jiu felt a chill run down her spine.
Why does she always end up in these bizarre and chaotic situations?
The two giants on stage had already started fighting. Powerful shockwaves surged from their two extremely tall bodies, and the booming sounds of their punches hitting flesh made the audience below feel their blood boil.
This is the ultimate clash of physical cultivation techniques, without any fancy skills, just the wildest hand-to-hand combat.
As fellow disciples who had received the same teachings, the two were both extremely familiar with each other and extremely unfamiliar with each other, being the closest in rank among them.
What is familiar is that they used to spar with each other; what is unfamiliar is that since their master left, the two have embarked on completely different paths.
Zhao Wenqi may seem to be doing nothing, but in reality he has been steadfastly moving forward on the path of cultivation, while Yu Qiu has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of the Body Peak and accept the teachings of the successor of the peak master.
Their vastly different experiences shaped their distinct styles. Zhao Wenqi's fist style was fierce yet unrestrained, like a wisp of wind freely stretching its form. Yu Qiu's fist style was even more magnificent, and as the future peak master, his attacks carried an unquestionable kingly way.
It makes people unable to feel any resistance when facing it.
Having received the most meticulous instruction, the two became increasingly different in subtle ways. Zhao Wenqi, through years of experience, broke free from the constraints of dogma and developed a wilder style, while Yu Qiu refined her skills and became even more exquisite.
The experience for spectators is also completely different and wonderful.
"Amazing!" Cheng Jiu watched with admiration. Whether it was Senior Brother Zhao or Senior Sister Yu Qiu, their strength had improved even more since Cheng Jiu first met them.
"Hmm." Lan Chang watched the competition on the stage, his gaze falling on one of the contestants: "I didn't expect our Guiyuan Sect to have such a powerful figure!"
He had already fought Yu Qiu during the sect competition; Yu Qiu was very strong, and his feel for him was second only to Cheng Jiu.
He thought that none of the remaining disciples were worth his attention, but he didn't expect them to be such hidden talents!
The simple fistfight on the stage was no longer enough to determine a winner between the two.
The massive hammer, weighing as much as a thousand pounds, was held lightly in a broad, thick hand.
The iron-like light emanating from the two giant hammers stung the hearts of those below the stage; just imagining it would be unbearable if those hammers were to fall on them.
It'll turn into minced meat!
Senior Sister Yuqiu tossed the hammers in her hands together twice, the dull, powerful sound carrying a strong sense of intimidation.
On the other side, a massive spiked mace with barbs was equally impressive, making one dizzy just looking at it.
This is the real deal; neither the senior nor junior brother wanted to be the first to admit defeat.
The two-person competition arena has completely degenerated into a one-on-one battle between two individuals.
As for their teammates.
Yan Xuan's alchemy furnace spun rapidly, and wherever it went, explosions rang out continuously, but unfortunately, they all ended up being empty shells.
As Nan Yanzhe turned around, he managed to avoid Yan Xuan's alchemy furnace touching his clothes, demonstrating his exceptional dodging skills.
He even kept moving closer to Yan Xuan.
Yan Xuan is an alchemist. Even if his cultivation level is higher than Nan Yanzhe's and his explosive technique is superb, it can't hide the fact that he's just a fragile person among cultivators of the same level.
He's doomed if Nan Yanzhe gets close to him.
Thus, a rather strange scene unfolded on the field: Nan Yanzhe constantly dodged Yan Xuan's attacks, while Yan Xuan constantly dodged Nan Yanzhe's approach.
This was a really intense and back-and-forth battle, but in the end, there was no damage.
It was also a stalemate, but it lacked the aesthetic appeal of the other two.
Qin Che had originally been determined to support his senior brother, but as he watched, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the contest between the two giants above.
It's not that he lacks determination, but rather that his senior brother is too disappointing!
Qin Che silently condemned his wavering will for two seconds, then looked up and found that the other senior brothers and sisters were the same, and very considerately forgave him.
He wasn't the one who betrayed us first! It made the enemy too cunning!
Nan Yanzhe had no idea that his behavior of being "walked around like a whack-a-mole" was being mocked by his junior brother, and cold sweat was already starting to seep from his forehead.
Yan Xuan's explosive technique is recognized as being unparalleled, surpassing all other alchemists. His attack routes are extremely unpredictable, and once one advances in their cultivation, they will either be severely injured or lose their ability to fight.
Calculating weaknesses and making precise dodges not only requires immense mental effort but also precise control over one's body; the slightest mistake...
He dared not gamble.
Yan Xuan isn't having an easy time either; Nan Yanzhe is definitely one of the most hated opponents for alchemists.
An invisible force field spread beneath their feet, the heavy gravity making it difficult to move an inch. This was the law that Nan Yanzhe comprehended in the Nascent Soul Realm: gravity.
Although he can only use it in the most basic way now, it is still considered cruel to alchemists.
They didn't treat him like an alchemist at all. If it weren't for his frequent furnace explosions and his decent physical condition, he would probably be lying on the ground right now!
The disciples and alchemists of Medicine King Valley below felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing the large beads of sweat and the difficult movements of the figure.
Cruel, absolutely cruel!
How could you torture an alchemist like this?
Nan Yanzhe dared not let his guard down for a moment. For some reason, he felt that his senior brother was brewing something terrifying!
At the Nascent Soul Realm, even core disciples of a sect can comprehend a rule, and Yan Xuan's talent is more than sufficient.
But the rules he comprehended remain unknown to anyone!
Yan Xuan noticed Nan Yanzhe's increasingly calm and wary gaze, and his heart sank slightly. Junior Brother Nan was indeed not easy to deal with; he could remain so calm even when he clearly had the upper hand.
Such a person is quite terrifying. Yan Xuan's original plan was half ruined. He originally wanted to take advantage of the moment when the man was off guard to trick him!
Hey!
Despite his failed scheme, Yan Xuan showed no disappointment, and continued to intentionally or unintentionally distance himself from Nan Yanzhe.
This made Nan Yanzhe even more vigilant.
Blood splattered on the ring, Zhao Wenqi's hand holding the spiked club froze, and the next second he was sent flying by the heavy hammer.
Blood gushed from his throat, and the spiked club fell to the side, sinking heavily into the arena floor. Blood dripped from the barbs that were intertwined with flesh.
Zhao Wenqi had already fallen into a coma.
"Brother!" Yan Xuan hadn't expected his older brother to lose so quickly. Wasn't he usually so clever and cunning? What happened?
Yan Xuan's gaze fell on another person, and he instantly became serious.
Because Yu Qiu was so terrifying and disheveled, and Zhao Wenqi's spiked club was truly ferocious, few dared to lower their guard when facing Zhao Wenqi.
Yu Qiu's proactive approach of abandoning his defenses and trading injury for injury is nothing short of ruthless. His beautiful face is now torn and exposed, all thanks to the spiked club.
It's no wonder Zhao Wenqi was stunned for a moment; this was his junior sister whom he had personally watched grow up!
result……
Zhao Wenqi couldn't accept it; the impact was too great. Zhao Wenqi's mind couldn't process it for a moment, and he was sent flying by the hammer.
With Zhao Wenqi's defeat, Yan Xuan, who was directly facing the two, was somewhat outmatched, and his counterattacks began to slow down. Yan Xuan started to give up.
He's confident in one-on-one combat, but one-on-two, even if one of them is low on health, sorry, he can't do it!
Not admitting defeat now is just keeping yourself hanging on by a thread!
He absolutely cannot be ousted so easily; that would be too embarrassing.
The alchemy furnace spun around the entire arena in Yan Xuan's hands, golden flames flashing within it, like a mad donkey, neither of them willing to touch it!
For a moment, Nan Yanzhe and Senior Sister Yuqiu found themselves unable to get close to each other.
The stove swam around right under their noses without causing any harm, but Nan Yanzhe had a bad feeling.
He kicked the furnace away, feeling a burning pain in his foot; his spirit boot was scalded through with a large hole.
Why is the temperature so high!
Could it be! With her eyes fixed on the somewhat disheveled guy, Senior Sister Yuqiu also realized what was going on when she saw the hole and turned her gaze to Yan Xuan.
"Don't look at me!" Yan Xuan's voice carried its usual flippancy, as if talking to himself, yet also explaining, "I've already said! I'm not going to leave so easily!"
He stared intently at Nan Yanzhe and Senior Sister Yuqiu, who both sensed something was wrong: "Since you've discovered it, let's start ahead of schedule!"
As the red light slid across his palm, flames hot enough to carbonize bones rose from the ground, and the alchemy furnace continuously sputtered silver sparks from the flames.
"Attack the alchemy furnace! Attack the alchemy furnace now!"
The scorching flames made it difficult for the two to move, yet their movements were surprisingly synchronized.
"Too late!" Yan Xuan said decisively.
A white light swept across every part of the arena.
The deafening explosion caused the entire arena's protective shield to tremble!
Four disheveled figures were pulled off the arena by a powerful force.
The heavily fortified arena is now a ruin!
"A draw!" The elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect landed on the four disheveled individuals, hesitated slightly, but still said firmly, "All of them are eliminated!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the audience sighed with disappointment. After all, the two teams had shown enough skill to definitely achieve a good ranking in the doubles competition, but it turned out that...
Fortunately, it's only the preliminary round, so both teams can participate in the revival round. If they lose the revival round, they're truly eliminated!
Yan Xuan's sect robes were no longer as neat as before; he was used to scattering them himself. The arena was a small-scale competition.
Senior Sister Yuqiu and Nan Yanzhe were still somewhat shaken. This was a real bomb, and they didn't hesitate for a moment!
They had never felt the underworld so close to them before!
He's insane! He's absolutely insane!
Nan Yanzhe felt very sorry for An Qi. Having such a junior brother was truly a blessing.
An Qi: "..."
Thank you! I'm used to it now!
Yan Xuan helped the unconscious Zhao Wenqi to his feet and then bid farewell to the two of them: "I'll take my brother down to heal his injuries. Junior Sister Yuqiu, you should also go and get a good check-up! Make sure he doesn't leave any scars."
Watching the two figures leave, Nan Yanzhe's eyes immediately fell on Senior Sister Yuqiu's horrific scars. She was quite a ruthless person: "Yes, Senior Sister, I'll take you to see her!"
Senior Sister Yuqiu did not refuse, knowing how shocking the injury on her face looked.
The disciples of Medicine Peak were already waiting.
"Senior Brother!"
"Junior brother!"
Nan Yanzhe had only taken a few steps while supporting Senior Sister Yuqiu when he suddenly fell straight forward without any warning!
If it weren't for Senior Sister Yuqiu's timely intervention, Nan Yanzhe would have really fallen to the ground!
How could he not have suffered any injuries? Three peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were fighting, and he was the only one who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm and was mixed in with them. He could barely handle Yan Xuan, who was at the peak Nascent Soul Realm. After all, not everyone can be as invincible as Cheng Jiu at the same level.
Yan Xuan's weakness is only relative to the cultivators of the five major sects at the same level, but he can easily defeat those at lower levels.
The final explosion did not injure those like Zhao Wenqi and Yu Qiu, whose physical bodies were strong enough and whose elders of the Tianji Sect reacted quickly enough.
On the contrary, Nan Yanzhe was the most affected. At the moment of the explosion, he felt as if his body was being torn apart.
The most terrifying injury is not pain, but the lack of awareness or sensation!
The tournament is over, and my tense nerves can relax a little!
Cheng Jiu stepped forward, and a stream of vibrant spiritual energy flowed into Nan Yanzhe's body.
At this moment, no elixir can compare to Cheng Jiu's purest spiritual power; it is a panacea.
The wounds inside Nan Yanzhe's body reopened, but were soothed by Cheng Jiu's spiritual power. The raging magma was quickly calmed by this cool spiritual power, and his body gradually began to recover on its own, and its functions began to operate.
Cheng Jiu withdrew his hand from the transfusion, fed Nan Yanzhe a pill, and said to Chang Yue who was walking over, "After a night's rest, you should be fully recovered by tomorrow!"
Chang Yue helped her senior brother up from the ground, her tone very sincere: "Thank you, junior sister."
Even with medicine to soothe such a severe injury, one would need to lie in bed for several days. The fact that Nan Yanzhe will be better tomorrow is a miracle that no one but Cheng Jiu can replicate!
As expected of a Wood-type Life element, it's simply too overpowered.
The Medicine King Valley disciples who had gathered around had very mixed feelings when they saw Cheng Jiu's vibrant wood elemental power.
Wood element plus life—how could Heaven allow such a combination to exist?
Wood spirit roots are more supportive and vital, but this does not mean that cultivators with wood spirit roots can comprehend the laws of life.
As one of the supreme laws, the Law of Life is more difficult for the Wood element to comprehend than for other spiritual roots, as it involves some knowledge of breaking limits.
Wood spirits are inherently inclined towards healing. If one cannot break through the inherent limitations of a wood spirit, one will ultimately only comprehend lower-level laws such as healing.
The seed of law can only be born at the Nascent Soul stage, so how deep is one's understanding of the law?
Even with a hundred-year limit, those in the Nascent Soul Realm can't even perceive what laws are, let alone break through the limit. Not everyone can comprehend laws like Cheng Jiu in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Such a combination has never appeared in the history of Medicine King Valley; in the eyes of the disciples of Medicine King Valley, such a combination is legendary.
But other sects don't know that they don't accept all disciples with wood spirit roots, and not all disciples with wood spirit roots are alchemists.
Medicine King Valley wouldn't publicize it casually, so Cheng Jiu's comprehension of the Law of Life seemed perfectly normal to them!
After all, with Cheng Jiu's talent, what's wrong with comprehending the supreme laws? It's perfectly normal!
Cheng Jiu demonstrated the application of the Law of Life in the hunting battle, but the Law of Wood can also do the same thing, and Cheng Jiu also possesses the Law of Wood.
The disciples of Medicine King Valley didn't think anything was wrong at the time, but now...
Heaven above, are you being too biased?
