100: Chapter 96 What Then_1 100: Chapter 96 What Then_1 Jiang Wang stepped onto the Discussion Platform, its surface mottled with the marks of countless battles.
After deducting ten points of his skill, the Discussion Platform abruptly rose, ascending into the Star River!
This was the first ti Jiang Wang had stepped onto the Discussion Platform outside of the challenges in the blessed land, strictly speaking, his first ti seeking an opponent within the Taixu Illusion Realm.
That long-missed gentle voice sounded, “Initiating the Discussion Platform journey, please write down your na to start the ranking of the swordsn.”
A piece of white paper appeared out of thin air in front of him, suspended in the air, accompanied by a writing brush materializing beside it.
The sheet appeared flimsy, yet when tapped, it remained completely still.
Given the mystery of the Taixu Illusion Realm, knowing one’s own na was an easy task.
Yet, the voice did not use the na directly but requested that Jiang Wang write it down himself.
Considering that Zuo Guanglie was dead, yet the previous master of the Qingyu Altar still hesitated in the face of this man, delaying the challenge for a long ti.
It indicated that within the Taixu Illusion Realm, Zuo Guanglie possessed another identity.
With this thought, Jiang Wang penned the na—Dugu Invincible.
Of course, this wasn’t his style.
It would’ve been more likely if it were Huang Azhan or Du Yehu, with the forr known for boasting and the latter being naturally fierce and warlike.
However, Jiang Wang thought that such a na would more likely provoke the fighting desire of his opponents.
Wasn’t he using the Discussion Platform to seek battles after all?
“Dugu Invincible is currently not ranked within the top hundred of the Circulation Realm and therefore has no displayed ranking.
Would you like to conceal your appearance?”
Jiang Wang didn’t need to think twice before choosing yes.
What was the purpose of taking a pseudonym if not to conceal his identity?
Then he discovered that another ten points of his skill had been deducted…
Fortunately, it seed this was not a one-ti fee.
“Matching for Ninth Grade Discussion Platform…”
“Match successful!”
When Jiang Wang ca to his senses, he was already in a square room with a ceiling above and walls on all sides, no doors, no windows.
The floor was even and the space wide open, with nothing to hinder his view.
Opposite him, a rotund Daoist was slowly opening his eyes.
“Dugu Invincible?” he frowned, his face seeming to concave at the upper half, “With such a bombastic na yet such a plain appearance, it seems I have encountered a master.”
After the adjustnts by the Taixu Illusion Realm, Jiang Wang’s face had been made extrely handso, almost rivaling Zhao Rucheng, yet he only received a remark of being ordinary.
Jiang Wang also saw the na of his first opponent in the Taixu Illusion Realm’s match—Zhen Invincible!
This na made his eyelids twitch.
He felt targeted.
What did it an; was his Dugu Invincible a fake invincible?
The shadow of his longsword manifested in his hands, but it lacked the ability to shoot golden arrows as in reality.
Fully realizing external objects required the use of skill points, which to Jiang Wang at the mont, would be a loss not worth the gain.
“Then co!”
While Zhen Invincible was still delivering his lines, Jiang Wang’s sword flashed, and he shot out swiftly.
His swordsmanship had initially been honed through life and death battles.
He always took the initiative, controlled the center, and of course, didn’t waste ti.
From the top external swordsmanship to the winner of the Three City Dao Discussion among freshn, to his unmatched swordplay in Wangjiang City—all these had given him imnse confidence.
The aura that belonged to him had been slowly fostered.
His sword attack was like a dragon striking the heavens, as swift as lightning.
“You cur!” Zhen Invincible, in the midst of the chaos, managed to utter a curse and pressed his hand forward, conjuring a round shield with swirling water to stand before him, perfectly blocking the tip of the sword!
“Ambush , will you!” he shouted again.
With a diagonal slash from his chubby hand, a sharp blade of fire sliced out.
At the sa ti, vines burst forth from the ground, aiming to entangle Jiang Wang.
Cultivators of the Roaming ridian Realm couldn’t imprint Instantaneous Dao Arts, so the fact that this fat Daoist was launching so many attacks at almost the sa mont indicated he had been preparing his spells, all while ranting about being ambushed by Jiang Wang.
But to be fair, his control and precision in Dao Technique were indeed accurate and clever.
Jiang Wang was exhilarated.
He couldn’t find such an opponent in the Maple Forest Daoist Institute.
Either they were too strong, out of his league by several grades, or too weak, defeated in a single strike.
It was hard to enjoy the thrill of battle.
His heart surged with excitent, but his hands remained steady as if cast from iron, controlling the sword to touch the Heavy Water Shield and withdraw instantly, not allowing the rotating water to entangle it.
He leaped high, evading the Wind Blade and simultaneously swung his sword to sever the incoming vines.
But he quickly realized sothing was wrong.
His sword, it was too heavy!
With just one drop of water on the tip, yet that single drop seed to weigh a thousand catties, pulling him down towards the earth.
The fat man laughed heartily, “Do you think this is a regular water shield?
This is a Heavy Water Shield, you little thief!”
The entwining vines already reached Jiang Wang, as he hurled two Fla Bullets in front of him, crossing and exploding with the intention to put Jiang Wang to death without giving him any chance to strike back.
Those ten chubby fingers perford hand seals at lightning speed, as if to ironically mock the concept of being unbeatable.
Jiang Wang channeled his strength and the tip of his sword broke off, taking with it that droplet of heavy water as it flew away.
As he was falling, his body suddenly enveloped in purple Qi, roaring and rushing forward.
In an instant, it swept through the two Fla Bullets and charged straight at Zhen Wudi!
This was the most powerful killing move from the Purple Qi Eastward swordsmanship.
Boom!
As the purple Qi dissipated, only Jiang Wang holding his sword remained at the spot.
What he had pierced with the Purple Qi Eastward was only an illusion!
anwhile, a full nine vine snakes had intertwined, forming a makeshift cage that trapped Jiang Wang within.
Jiang Wang reached out, pressed the nearly completed Fla Bullet onto the vine cage, and blasted a hole through it.
Trapped inside the cage with no way to avoid it, his left hand was also blasted, leaving it bloodied and lacerated.
But Jiang Wang’s expression remained unchanged as he brandished his longsword, ready to break through the opening.
However…
Through the gap, he could clearly see that outside the cage, suspended in midair, were densely packed Wind Blades.
Zhen Wudi stood outside the cage, maintaining a safe distance from Jiang Wang, wiping sweat from his forehead and said, “That was close, I almost let you turn the tables.”
As he spoke, his hand waved.
Countless Wind Blades instantly shredded Jiang Wang on the spot.
…
He lost!
Jiang Wang returned to his blessed land, still sowhat dazed.
The opponent was too strong!
Heavy Water Shield, Fla Bullets, entangling vines, illusions, vine snakes, Wind Blades.
The nine vine snakes even combined to form a cage.
The ability of creating illusions was rare enough, and the Heavy Water Shield was a Dao Technique Jiang Wang had never heard of before.
He possessed so many different Dao Techniques and wielded them with such deadly precision and skill.
Unlike the simple and straightforward Sun Xiaoyan, Zhen Wudi, the fat man, might appear silly, but in reality, he was in complete control of the pace of the battle.
In this last fight, every move Jiang Wang made had been within his calculations.
Now, as Jiang Wang reviewed the entire fight, he could not find a single point of victory.
On the sundial, the number representing his rit was now 3360 points.
Activating the Discussion Platform cost ten points, using it to hide his appearance cost another ten, and losing the fight cost ten points.
A single battle had cost him thirty points of rit.
To think that the lowest-ranked Donghai Mountain blessed land produced only a hundred points of rit per month.
With his current strength, Jiang Wang feared he might not be able to conquer Donghai Mountain blessed land.
At that mont, a plump paper crane flew over from sowhere, wobbling in front of Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang caught it reflexively, and the paper crane unfolded itself into a letter in his hand:
“To my brother Dugu upon reading this letter: I cannot stop thinking about our recent battle.
Your strength is sothing I look up to like towering mountains, and I was lucky to win this match.
I am anxious and greatly wish for a rematch to properly affirm your formidable prowess.”
What is this nonsense?
Jiang Wang’s eyes fell on the signature and saw the three characters of Zhen Wudi.
This man even had fatter paper cranes than others.
But this way of speaking sounded like an attempt to “farm rit” off Jiang Wang.
The Discussion Platform’s cost in rit was borne by the loser, so in that last battle Jiang Wang suffered a substantial loss, while Zhen Wudi earned ten points of rit.
Jiang Wang only regretted that he was not Huang Azhan, lacking both the skill and satisfaction in cursing others.
Then, another plump paper crane ca wobbling over.
Jiang Wang took it and saw that, indeed, it was that sa Zhen Wudi, but this ti the ssage was said in a different manner—
“To be honest, brother Dugu.
It’s rare for to encounter such an evenly matched opponent.
It was extrely beneficial, oh so beneficial!
I’m busy today, but I’m fine with fighting another ti.
Co on, just reply to my paper crane so we can keep in touch for the next ti!”
Usually, whatever follows the words “to be honest” isn’t very honest…
Jiang Wang’s face twitched as he picked up the paper to reply: “Will contact later.”
He then felt the crescent moon mark in the palm of his hand and left the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Fatso, just you wait.
