Chapter 98 The Semifinal
Buzz!
An old but powerful voice sounded. The Yin Yang Ring in Wang Bugui’s hand was shining with two-color lights. He was exploring the magic of this treasure and found that it did contain pretty pure energy of the extreme yin and extreme yang. He also discovered that the energy could not only be emitted as beams of powers but also be transformed into various weapons to make attacks.
However, to activate it would cost too much spiritual power. After all, it was a magic weapon that could be casually used by sages or more powerful ones. In addition, it was a best-level spiritual weapon, which made it more difficult to be activated. He estimated roughly that he could activate it no more than nine times, or his spiritual power would be exhausted. That was costing. With all his spiritual power, he could only activate it nine times. If he was not in his best state, he could maybe just use half of the chances.
It was even more difficult for Yu Wude and Lyu Hao to activate their own magic weapons. It was estimated that if they were in their best state, they could activate them no more than six times. However, the power of these magic weapons was really strong, in terms of both attacking and defending.
The power of the extreme yin and extreme yang contained in the Yin Yang Ring was one of the most powerful vigour in the world. As for the Ancient Mountain and River Map, it contained countless Taoism energy, and there was a complicated ancient array in it. Leng Yueyan couldn’t figure out what array it was, but she could feel that it was absolutely strong. As for the White Jade Qilin Pagoda, it also contained strong killing energy and was carved with Taoism lines as to guard it.
“It’s amazing, indeed the ancient treasure!” Yu Wude exclaimed.
“It’s good at both attacking and defending. Nice!” Lyu Hao laughed.
“There are surely a lot of abilities still unknown of them. I’ll discover them in the future.” Wang Bugui looked at the ring and laughed.
“Damn it! You all got magic weapons. Only I didn’t. It was unfortunate for me to meet the Taoist nun!” Zhao Changge sat down on the floor and cried, even rolling back and forth on the grass, like a naughty child.
His actings made Wang Bugui and the others feel both amused and helpless. He had attracted so many girls with his handsome appearance and cheerful humor. But only those who was close to him knew the real him who often made nonsense. However, they never expected he would act like a child one day.
He was even on the list of the handsome men of the Gathering of Practitioners. He ranked the third. The second place was occupied by Feng Tianming, who was cold with few words. The first place had been Ning Zhe, who was good-looking and gentle.
But after today’s battle, Wang Bugui made it top one on the list with his overwhelming punch while Zhao Changge fell to the fourth place. The fifth one was Lyu Hao, who was always domineering but less powerful than Wang Bugui. Yu Wude was also on the list. Thought fat, he was cute and little bit charming when he was concentrated on something.
There were many girls who liked such cute fatty like him. And Chu He, dressed in blue, he released a mysterious temperament, special and charming. These seven people were the most perfect men in the hearts of the female cultivators. They were all powerful and possessed their own fascination.
There was, of course, a list of female cultivators, which was secretly made by Zhao Changge and Yu Wude. Without a shadow of a doubt, the first place belonged to Leng Yuyan, the most powerful and beautiful girl. The following three were Meiqing, Jiang Lianyue, and Shangguan Yiyi, of the Palace of Hundred Flowers. The four were regarded as the four beauties in the cultivation world. Each of them possessed their unique charms.
After a while of frolic, Wang Bugui and the others went to sleep. There were still two big battles waiting for them tomorrow. In the next morning when a ray of sunshine fell on Wang Bugui’s face, he knitted his eyebrows and then slowly opened his eyes. The other three people would always wake up after a while of his waking up. After the morning practice, the four went to the martial field.
“Oh, they come!”
“They finally arrived. The big show’s going to start!”
“They four are so handsome!”
“Chu He’s moving toward them. Oh god! Five handsome boys! I can’t help myself!”
…
A lot of cultivators had already been here waiting for them. The female ones became so excited when seeing them. The evil style of Wang Bugui and his overbearing fighting style had already conquered the vast majority of the female cultivators.
Zhao Changge’s sunny smile, Lyu Hao’s calmness and domineering temperament, Yu Wude’s cute, round face, as well as Chu He, who went forward to meet them with a blue robe and a jade flute, were so charming. These five people together could cheer the whole field up like the spirit attacks from the Big Capables. Finally, three of them walked side by side to the arena.
Wang Bugui, Leng Yueyan, Lyu Hao, Yu Wude, they accepted the ardent vision of all. Among the four, there would be two strongest people today who could be regarded as the top geniuses of all the young genius. They were also the most dazzling two stars at this gathering.
“It is really rare that two liberal cultivators reached the semifinal!” The Headmaster of the Crazy Saber Sect laughed.
“This age is indeed the Great Age. I’ve waited for it for more than two thousand years. The era of the late arts’s going to end.” The Headmaster of the Zhenyang Sect nodded and said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the most amazing holy martial arts in this battle.” The Headmaster of the Shushan smiled.
“Haha, I can tell the Path to Immortality will emerge in the near future.” The Headmaster of the Unfettered Sect gently swayed the fan and laughed.
After so many battles, they were assured that this age was the Great Age predicted by the ancient Big Capables. There were so many geniuses in this age, and even some of them were rare to see. These geniuses had only been cultivating for no more than 20 years and had mastered at least one unique skill of their sects. Though in the Void Returning Realm, they were able to master the mystical skill of the Saint Realm.
Hua Mengchen, the Headmaster of the Palace of Hundred Flowers, laughed out as well with her hands covering her face. Her laughter was as sweet as that of a jaundice. Then she uttered, “The little guys of this age are very interesting, especially that liberal cultivator whose background is unknown. He always surprises me. I’m looking forward to his amazing performance today.”
Her words did make sense. Wang Bugui always brought unexpected surprises to everyone in every battle. His talent was unquestionable, and everyone was optimistic about him. After all, this kid was always beyond their expectation. He could defeat his opponent with one punch or mess up the whole arena.
Yesterday, he even broke the third hardest old arena with one punch, which distressed Tong Yixing very much. Tong Yixing was with a gloomy face as if he had eaten a dead mouse. If someone dared to provoke him at that time, he would be raging as well, even if he always had a good temper. The elders moved their eyes to Tong Yixing as they thought of this. He knew what was in their mind, so he slowly turned his head aside.
“Haha, in this Great Age, the sects have finally begun to unite. Good! As cultivators, we should be unity to pursue the Path to Immortality together.” The Buddhist Headmaster also laughed.
The Qingchan Divine Monk from the Mount Fanjing used to be quiet. But every time he uttered, his words must be warning words to the world. Now, he was happy to see the unity of all the sects, and all the Headmasters were nodding to show their agreement. Presumably, the Big Capables of the immortal world would discuss Taoism in harmony as well, which was helpful to explore the Taoism.
And only the mortals would fight against each other. In addition to fighting against the foreign demon race, only in this era of the late arts could they be unit. Thinking about this, everyone began to feel ashamed.
“You’re right, Grandmaster. Humans are always like this. However, we are all cultivators, and why should we squeeze each other out? As cultivators, we may need help from others, even from those who are weaker than us in cultivation base and Taoism. We fight, we compete, but in the end, we can’t take anything with us when we are dead.” Leng Yueyan replied. Her words were always without emotions but reasonable.
Having been through ups and downs, the experts like her held a special attitude from the others. No wonder that they could become a big capable in this age because of their firm will toward Taoism, and normal people were no match for them in terms of this.
The headmasters were flushed with embarrassment. Except for the Headmaster of the Shushan, Unfettered Sect and the Palace of Hundred Flowers, all the others had been fighting for the so-called titles. They finally realized their mistakes today and began to talk openly and highly.
After half an hour, all the preparations were ready. Leng Shuangrong nodded at Tong Yixing and then went forward to announce the final. As she finished speaking, Tong Yixing controlled the jade plate and summoned the bluestone arena. Then the plate began to select the first round candidates. A beam of ten-color divine lights rocketed to the sky, and two names emerged in the sky: Wang Bugui and Lyu Hao.
“Lyu Hao and Wang Bugui!”
“A battle between two liberal cultivators, which means a liberal cultivator will definitely be promoted to the final!”
“Their fighting styles are both aggressive. Let’s see how terrible the battle’s going to be!”
The audience began to boil. The liberal cultivators performed so well at this year’s competition. One of them would advance to the final, which was the first time throughout more than two thousand years. The audience felt lucky to witness this miracle. All their eyes were cast on the two people. The two smiled at each other and walked side by side to the arena.
