December 30, 2017
After a fierce battle between Shen Qingming and Lu Fangchen, with more than an hour interval, the second match of the day slowly comnced.
Li Wanqing versus Qian Ye.
Before Wang Jiu and Shen Qingming erged as dark horses, these two were considered as the biggest favorites to win the Cyan Cloud tournant. People always believed the champion could only be born between them, and even until the 29th, their odds in the betting pools were the lowest.
The committee scheduled their match as the second one to avoid overshadowing the other matches... yet did not anticipate witnessing the bizarre spectacle of a Steel Giant battling a sea of turrets early in the morning. It was like tasting a series of super spicy chicken wings, directly numbing one’s taste buds, causing early disinterest for the matches that followed.
Whether it’s Qian Ye’s Golden Bloodline or Li Wanqing’s Yuqing Taoist Armor, people had already seen too much in these few days of matches and found them not as fresh anymore. And these two probably couldn’t present shocking new tactics like Shen Qingming and Lu Fangchen.
Therefore, by the afternoon, when the second match started, although the main arena was still fully occupied, it felt more like routine, with many cheers sounding lackluster.
Standing at the center of the arena, Li Wanqing looked at the calm-faced Qian Ye in front of her, while musing that he seed to have transford compared to a few months ago, she smiled playfully and said, "It seems people aren’t really expecting much from our match. So, have you considered giving everyone a surprise and directly forfeiting later?"
Qian Ye frowned: "Li Wanqing, you normally wouldn’t bother to say such nonsense to , why are you saying more today? If you are worried about my Broken Sword form..."
"No, no, no." Li Wanqing quickly waved her hand, "Please, don’t flatter yourself, my stomach can’t handle it. I’m purely considering giving you a relatively glorious exit on account of Zhou Yu’s sister. As for your Broken Sword form, to be honest, I don’t really care."
Hearing this, Qian Ye laughed, "Near arrogant confidence, this is the Li Wanqing I rember, and defeating soone like this is aningful."
——
anwhile, on the comntary stand, the duo of Li Jinglun and Zhang Zhixi were still holding their positions.
"Hello everyone, I’m comntator Zhang Zhixi. Today, we finally await this long-anticipated showdown. Just over a month ago, Qian Ye and Li Wanqing were considered the biggest favorites for the championship, and their duel was naturally supposed to happen in the finals. But over this month, many things shook many people’s world views. Many contestants underwent transformations in a short period, their strength skyrocketing, especially Qian Ye, who awakened extraordinary Golden Bloodline Divine Techniques, once becoming the biggest favorite for the championship. But after these days of main matches, I’m sure everyone knows pre-match expectations can’t hold, this tournant often brings surprises. For instance, the shocking battle this morning... So, Master Jinglun, do you have any opinions on this match, do you also believe they will surprise everyone?"
Li Jinglun pondered for a while, then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, both will use previously hidden cards in this round. Because this is no longer opponents they can hide strength from and still win against. As for Li Wanqing, I believe she will showcase breakthroughs in Swordsmanship, while Qian Ye will better utilize his awakened Golden Bloodline. Hmm, the next phase of awakening of the Golden Bloodline should be specialized defense, such as nearly immune resistance against certain Magical Treasures or certain Magic. So, the key to this ga is whether Qian Ye can grasp Li Wanqing’s cards. If he can guess correctly and prepare targeted specialized defenses, it ans he’s in an unbeatable position."
"I see, so who do you think will win, Master Jinglun?"
"As a mber of the Li Family, answering this question might compromise objectivity, but honestly, I absolutely don’t think Li Wanqing will lose."
——
"Now, let the match begin!"
In the arena, as the referee waved his arm, the last match of December 30 officially began.
Li Wanqing and Qian Ye simultaneously shed their relaxed deanor from before the match, entering combat mode.
Li Wanqing instantly summoned the Yuqing Taoist Armor, the pitch-black armor enshrouded her like dense fog, forming into shape, with flying edges and spikes making the girl appear sowhat fierce and terrifying.
Qian Ye, on the other hand, instantly activated the Bloodline Divine Techniques inherited from his ancestors, his body enlarged several folds, transforming into a giant over one zhang tall, entirely golden.
In previous nurous matches, this golden giant had fought many tis, leading people to understand its various Divine Techniques.
Its greatest feature is its indestructibility and extrely strong defense, followed by boundless strength, invincible, and finally, ability to use True Gold and Silver as consumption pieces to amplify True Essence Fluctuation, similar to a multi-functional version of Qiankun Throw.
Frankly speaking, this is actually a Bloodline Divine Technique lacking distinct features, all demonstrated Divine Techniques are rudintary at best—at least at this stage, Qian Ye cannot utilize several strong Divine Techniques deep within the Bloodline—yet this is sufficient for the Cyan Cloud tournant.
His own strengths within the Cyan Cloud tournant are already top-tier, plus the Golden Bloodline fully reinforced his attributes, during combat, almost equivalent to a Cloud Flipping Realm Cultivator crushing kids.
However, it was very evident that Li Wanqing was definitely not soone to be crushed.
Hence, Qian Ye was not the slightest bit careless, nor did he hesitate in the least; when his Golden Bloodline was thoroughly ignited, he unhesitatingly hurled a sheet of Spirit Stones, shining out a brilliant milky way in midair.
More than two hundred Spirit Stones hurled straight at Li Wanqing, each one shimring dangerously, indicating their Spiritual Energy was highly activated, ready to trigger chain explosions at any mont.
The Qian Family’s ultimate technique, the Qiankun Throw, transforms money directly into destructive power, and now, wielded by the hands of twelve Golden n, its might has undeniably reached new heights.
Li Wanqing hesitated not for a mont, predicting her move with uncanny foresight, choosing to evade. Her dark and heavy armor did not hinder her movent at all; within an instant, she traversed several hundred feet to another corner of the arena, allowing all the Spirit Stones to soar into empty space.
However, Qian Ye rely crooked his finger, causing those Spirit Stones, flying straight, to feel as though they were being tugged by invisible strings, arcing gracefully in mid-air, pursuing Li Wanqing relentlessly.
These flying Spirit Stones were ultimately much faster than Li Wanqing herself. This ti, Li Wanqing had no ans of dodging, nor did she attempt to evade.
Facing the redirected Spirit Stones, Li Wanqing stood firm, her mouth bursting forth like spring thunder.
"Break!"
In the next mont, the sound of thunder rolled endlessly.
"Slow!" "Delay!" "Shatter!" "Breach!" "Turn!" "Divert!" "Divide!" "Exhaust!" "Betray!"
The supre single-word True Words passed down by Yuqing True Master were unleashed by Li Wanqing as if spewed out like Continuous Crossbow Arrows, each utterance causing the spikes on her armor to tremble slightly, forming a mysterious resonance, enhancing the power of the True Words manifold before directly colliding with the incoming Qiankun Throw!
The two hundred Spirit Stones rapidly disintegrated, so halted in mid-air, so slowed sharply, so shattered to pieces, and others simply turned back to crash into companions, triggering a chain explosion.
In an instant, more than half of the Spirit Stones were destroyed, and the remaining defeated soldiers swiftly dissolved under Li Wanqing’s continuous True Words.
Ultimately, of the Spirit Stones arriving before Li Wanqing, only one remained dull and dim. Like a foot soldier bathed in blood after crossing an arrow storm, it appeared small and ridiculous.
But Li Wanqing’s expression slightly changed, intending to step back.
It was a mont too late, the dull Spirit Stone explosively shattered a foot away from her.
Li Wanqing felt as if a volcano erupted before her. High-temperature shockwaves and pure destructive and exhaustive Mana surged at her, causing the Yuqing Taoist Armor to emit a sound akin to tearing!
This was not the terrifying energy a single Spirit Stone could contain... It was as if the power of all two hundred Spirit Stones enhanced by Golden n detonated simultaneously before her.
"A thousand gold scattered and still cos back?! This idiot, who can’t even count up to a hundred, actually mastered this stroke?!"
Li Wanqing was quite astonished in her heart, then quickly adjusted her tactical arrangents, realizing the prior response was wrong. Against the Qiankun Throw, weakening the number of Spirit Stones was aningless; the two hundred Spirit Stones could essentially be viewed as a unit... leaving no room for trickery, it could only be engaged head-on.
In the next mont, Li Wanqing flicked her wrist, extending a two-foot-long short sword from her wrist armor, aiming at Qian Ye’s Golden Man, slashing it from afar.
Qian Ye was slightly shocked, hastily shielding his chest with his arms, yet felt no True Essence or Sword Qi, as if the opponent had rely feigned a strike.
Just as Qian Ye was getting annoyed by this seemingly aningless petty trick, he heard Li Wanqing speak in a slightly mocking tone.
"The Twelve Golden n’s Imperfect Golden Man, I never thought you awakened this Golden Man, no wonder my impenetrable sword failed."
Upon hearing the words Imperfect Golden Man, Qian Ye’s heart trembled, never expecting his secret would be exposed in front of everyone! Li Wanqing, the True Disciple of the Primordial Family, truly has an extraordinary perspective!
The Qian Family’s Bloodline Divine Techniques, Twelve Golden n, are legendary bloodline inheritances from the Primordial Era, with 12 Golden Man forms, each possessing Divine Techniques, while the one Qian Ye currently awakened is among them the most comprehensive in capabilities, virtually perfect, the Imperfect Golden Man.
However, in this world, there is naturally no truly flawless entity; though this Imperfect Golden Man has impressive performance, it imposes extrely harsh requirents on the cultivator, causing the vast majority of Qian Family disciples, even those with qualifying talents, to struggle to cultivate this Imperfect Golden Man. For Qian Ye to awaken this Golden Man before the finals is indeed...
Li Wanqing shook her wrist and said, "It must be tough for you, huh? The Imperfect Golden Man requires a Pure Yang Body, colloquially known as a virgin. You’ve been in love with Zhou Yu for so long and still managed to cultivate an Imperfect Golden Man; I truly don’t know whether to pity Zhou Yu or rejoice."
"...You’re not Master Jinglun! Why narrate so ticulously!"
"Because I want to, little virgin."
