The attention of the crowd made Yuanbao eager to try. Gao Xuan lightly tapped her smooth forehead, signaling her to behave.
"Stay put, I’ll be back shortly."
With a flick of his sleeve, Gao Xuan was on the stage.
Gao Xuan used the Geomagnetic Fla Wheel, his body remained still, not even shaking his shoulders or moving his feet.
The Geomagnetic Fla Wheel spun under Gao Xuan’s feet, gliding him smoothly for dozens of yards.
This process was extrely fast and astonishingly smooth and gentle.
Shui Qingbo was slightly taken aback and thought, "What Daoist technique is this person using? Such speed!"
The Five Elents Sect and the Thick Earth Sect are known for their solidity. It’s said that the Earth Escape Technique can only be used at the Golden Core level.
Unable to discern Gao Xuan’s true capabilities, Shui Qingbo beca a bit more cautious. She swayed her duster and greeted, "Shui Qingbo greets fellow Daoist."
Gao Xuan gracefully returned the greeting, "Gao Xuan greets fellow Daoist."
Gao Xuan was elegant and refined, with a free-spirited manner. Shui Qingbo couldn’t help but take another look, developing a strong interest in Gao Xuan.
She asked Gao Xuan, "Fellow Daoist Gao, if I may ask, I heard that you are now the sect leader of the Thick Earth Sect?"
"That’s right. My late master passed away, and as his undeserving disciple, I had no choice but to take up the responsibility of sect leader."
Gao Xuan sighed deeply, "I know I am young and inexperienced, and I fear that the heritage of my sect will be lost. Whenever I think of it, I cannot sleep at night."
He cupped his hands towards Shui Qingbo and said, "I bear a heavy responsibility and do not dare to hold back. I only hope that fellow Daoist Shui will not bla for being impolite."
Shui Qingbo smiled slightly, "In a martial contest, everyone displays their skills. There’s nothing impolite about it."
"In that case, I apologize in advance."
Before making a move, Gao Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist Shui, please."
Shui Qingbo swayed her duster, first setting up four water mirrors around her. The water mirrors flowed like waves, distorting her figure unpredictably.
Despite Gao Xuan’s good looks and pleasant speech, Shui Qingbo was determined to give her all in the sect competition.
As the true disciple of this generation of the Celestial Water Sect, Shui Qingbo, with her dignified and graceful deanor, was actually very smart, decisive, and had a strong competitive spirit.
Shui Qingbo first used the Weak Water Mirror, known for its unbreakable nature. Though the water mirrors seed easy to shatter with their undulating waters, they were connected as one, capable of transforming each other’s power to neutralize various attacks. Not only were they enduring and resilient, but they also had nurous refined variations.
Even Zhou Ye’s fierce magic was ultimately defeated under the weakening effect of the Weak Water Mirror.
No matter how special Gao Xuan’s body technique magic was, it wouldn’t matter. As long as he couldn’t break the Weak Water Mirror, he would eventually be defeated by attrition.
Having prepared the Weak Water Mirror, Shui Qingbo began to prepare the Jade Water Whip. The duster in her hand was an extrely powerful magical artifact of the sect, with the Jade Water Whip being formidable in power, even against soone at the Foundation Establishnt level.
Just as Shui Qingbo was urging the Jade Water Whip, she saw Gao Xuan’s figure blur, and he was already in front of her.
Though prepared, Shui Qingbo was startled by Gao Xuan’s speed. Also, in a fight of magic, why was he closing in like this?
The closer you are, the more powerful the magical artifact becos. No one knows what artifact or magic the opponent might be hiding. During a duel, it’s best to keep a distance and use magic against magic.
Closing in for close combat is sothing worldly martial artists do. Combat skills have little threat to cultivators. Ultimately, cultivators compare cultivation, magic, and magical artifacts.
Shui Qingbo didn’t understand Gao Xuan’s strategy, but she acted without hesitation. Swaying her duster, the Jade Water condensed into a whip several yards long, coiling like a snake before her.
No matter if Gao Xuan advanced or retreated, he couldn’t escape the serpent-like Jade Water Whip.
At this mont, Shui Qingbo heard a gasp from below the platform. Although she didn’t know what the crowd was exclaiming about, she instinctively felt sothing was wrong.
She felt one of the Weak Water Mirrors behind her shatter. Shui Qingbo wanted to cast more spells but it was too late, as Gao Xuan’s Profound Yellow Daoist Robe sleeve brushed, sending her out of the ring with a heavy yet gentle force.
Shui Qingbo landed right where the Celestial Water Sect was gathered, imdiately surrounded by the sect disciples.
An elder asked with concern, "Qingbo, are you hurt?"
Gao Xuan’s sleeve seed to flow like a cloud but carried the weight of a mountain. Didn’t the Weak Water Mirror shatter with just one strike? Given such massive and heavy power, it was feared that Shui Qingbo could be severely injured.
Shui Qingbo shook her head with a hint of bitterness, "Thank you, Third Elder, I’m fine."
She bowed deeply to the Celestial Water Sect Leader, "Master, your disciple is incompetent and lost this match."
She could accept defeat, but losing so decisively in one move, without even understanding how she lost, made her feel very uncomfortable.
In front of the entire Five Elents Sect, such a defeat not only embarrassed her but also shad the Celestial Water Sect.
The Celestial Water Sect Leader, Shui Qianjue, waved a hand coldly, "Not entirely your fault. This person has refined the Geomagnetic Fla Wheel from the Nine Peaks Magic Robe, moving like lightning, subtly in motion."
Earlier, Shui Qingbo was standing on the platform, with a limited view. Those below saw clearly that as soon as Shui Qingbo lifted the Jade Water Whip, Gao Xuan was already behind her.
With a flick of Gao Xuan’s sleeve, the Weak Water Mirror shattered, as did Shui Qingbo’s protective Celestial Daoist Robe, indicating the power of his one sleeve.
Shui Qianjue further remarked, "This person might have unlocked the Nine Peaks Heaven-Flipping Hand from the Nine Peaks Magic Robe. That sleeve has the force of a collapsing mountain, so it’s understandable you couldn’t withstand it."
She furrowed her brow deeply, noting Gao Xuan’s divine insight and agility. Seemingly already at Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, he had unlocked the Geomagnetic Fla Wheel and the Nine Peaks Heaven-Flipping Hand from the Nine Peaks Magic Robe. Even if she were to enter the fray, victory would not be certain.
