The rain drizzled gently as Chu Huaixu plucked a single drop from between heaven and earth.
Shrouded in True Gang, this raindrop shot forward with great speed.
It was like a vortex, drawing in all the surrounding rainwater as it passed.
After casting his ultimate strike, Ji Sikong’s eyes widened in shock.
He found the scene before him unbelievable!
The Sword Qi surged forward, accompanied by a sound akin to a dragon’s roar.
The crimson blade fla resembled a fire dragon!
Before him, Junior Brother Chu also began to reveal so of his hidden cards.
He claid he was not just a Body Cultivator!
Chu Huaixu captured a drop of rain, flicking forward with "Fingertip Thunder."
From within the dark clouds high above, the sound of thunder resonated.
On the arena, it seed as if there was a matching clap of thunder!
The sounds of dragon roars and thunder echoed continuously!
More and more raindrops were engulfed by the vortex ford by True Gang.
Then, they violently clashed with the blade fla resembling a fire dragon!
It was a collision of water and fire.
In reality, it was an intense clash between True Gang and Sword Qi!
You use brute force against , so I shall respond in kind!
Within Chu Huaixu, Spiritual Power surged fiercely.
"Fingertip Thunder" was agitated by the Spiritual Power, bolstered further by the Power of the Flesh at the mont of flicking.
Although it seed like a casual flick through the rain, its power was enormous, packing a deadly punch!
The fire dragon-like blade fla was instantly dispersed, while the shockwave from True Gang continued onward.
Ji Sikong’s pupils contracted, and he hurriedly raised his blade to block.
He appeared flustered and in disarray. Though he barely managed to withstand the force, he spat out blood and was directly knocked back five steps!
His relentless Sword Montum was instantly broken.
Holding his long blade in his right hand, the base of his thumb was swollen and red, and his palm and forearm started to tremble slightly.
"How is this possible!" he exclaid in disbelief.
One of the most promising Outer Sect Disciples of the Daoist Sect wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Chu Huaixu.
He saw Chu Huaixu standing in the rain, clad in a black robe.
He raised his right hand, a water droplet about the size of a fingernail hovering in his palm.
In a life-and-death duel, he could easily flick his finger again at this mont.
If so, Ji Sikong would undoubtedly be dood!
In his heart, the prideful Daoist prodigy felt a stubborn unwillingness to concede.
But seeing the calm deanor of his opponent, he ultimately and dejectedly lowered his Spirit Blade Red Dragon.
This Senior Brother Ji was indeed domineering in battle, but he also displayed considerable grace.
The other party was already deliberately letting him off; there was no point in clinging on and bringing further disgrace.
He straightened his stance and raised his quivering right hand.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Chu, for showing rcy. I concede," he said aloud, cupping his hands in salute.
Hearing this, Chu Huaixu suddenly clenched his palm.
The water droplet encased in Spiritual Power shattered instantly, transforming into a damp mark within his palm.
He also raised both hands, politely cupping them in acknowledgnt. "Thank you!"
Below the arena, dead silence reigned.
The scene before them was so overwhelming that it sent chills down many spines.
Individuals like Lang Yue and Shen Miaoyun stood together, appearing awestruck.
At this mont, they resembled mbers of a "Chu Huaixu Praise League," praising his superior performance, as if doing so would elevate their own value as previous losers.
But now, whether it was Lang Yue or Shen Miaoyun, both stood with mouths slightly agape.
For they had both lost to the "Body Cultivator Chu Huaixu."
But what exactly was happening now!
"Chu Huaixu is not purely a Body Cultivator!" Lang Yue felt his heart skip a beat.
How much force did he use when he fought ?
Finally, everyone realized their estimation of his abilities was utterly mistaken!
In revealing his true strength, with just one move, he had thoroughly defeated the powerful Ji Sikong!
Ji Sikong had even wielded an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact.
While Chu Huaixu, with just a flick, had fought empty-handed!
"What kind of Technique is this, so domineering!" Lang Yue couldn’t help but speak.
"The Spiritual Power is imnse; it’s terrifyingly powerful," Shen Miaoyun added.
She couldn’t even imagine the consequences had he flicked her that day.
As for Geng Tianhe and others, they once again exchanged glances.
In their minds, they all harbored the sa thought.
"If it were receiving that attack, could I withstand it?" the three pondered.
Their answers were unanimous: Without using so special ans, the result would likely be identical to Ji Sikong’s!
On the arena, Ji Sikong couldn’t help but ask:
"Junior Brother Chu, that move just now, was it similar to my ’Fire Dragon’s Roar’, a Profound Level Technique?"
Hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.
There was no harm in admitting it; any discerning person could see that "Fingertip Thunder" couldn’t possibly be just Yellow Level.
"Probably not just entry-level, but already a Minor Success, correct?" Ji Sikong, recalling the scene, felt a lingering fear.
"Yes," Chu Huaixu calmly admitted.
Below the arena, everyone was astonished once more.
"Inner and Outer Cultivation, coupled with Profound Level Body Technique at Minor Success, and Profound Level True Gang at Minor Success."
"This is simply too strong!"
...
...
High above, Great Cultivators stood in the air, isolating themselves from the falling raindrops.
Mo Tenglong and others were equally as astonished as the low-tier cultivators below.
Even i Chuxue and others clicked their tongues in wonder.
With her srizing peach blossom eyes, this woman couldn’t help but appraise the extraordinarily handso young man.
"Inner and Outer Cultivation?"
"And the Spiritual Power within the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection is so abundant."
"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?" she wondered, feeling she hadn’t heard of it before.
Teng Lingyi heard this and also shook his head slightly, indicating he didn’t know either.
"This kid’s physical strength is terrifying even among Body Cultivators, yet he’s not purely a Body Cultivator?"
"I’ve never heard of any First Realm Cultivation Technique that could achieve such effects as his."
i Chuxue was slightly surprised on hearing this, her enchanting eyes widening a bit, saying, "Even you don’t know?"
The three of them were old acquaintances, and both she and Situ Cheng knew that Teng Lingyi, the Great Elder of Luotian Valley, was a Master of Cultivation Techniques.
He created a large number of low and mid-tier techniques, as well as quite a few high-tier techniques!
This man was deeply involved in this field and once stated that in the process of creating cultivation techniques, he was also achieving Enlightennt.
Teng Lingyi nodded and said, "So I’m also very curious in my heart."
"From this kid’s current performance, the strength of his Physique combined with the Spiritual Power within his Spiritual Embryo, his technique’s strength is outstanding even among Celestial Level Techniques!"
"More importantly, we don’t actually know where his limits lie."
"Clearly, he didn’t use his full strength earlier, but held back."
Situ Cheng glanced at the two and pointed directly to the crucial issue:
"Did you forget what Chu Yinyin said in the hall?"
"If what she said is true, then it ans that this Chu Huaixu has dual cultivation of sword and body and has already understood Sword Intent!"
Hearing this, Teng Lingyi and i Chuxue were both taken aback.
"Oh, how could we forget about that!" they thought to themselves.
If this is true, then this kid is just too defiant of heaven.
The three of them had co this ti to see what the Daoist Sect was hiding.
As a result, Jiang Zhi isolated their Divine Sense probing.
"So, what Chu Yinyin said earlier may not be a lie?" Teng Lingyi spoke out.
With this thought, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of concern for Zhao Xinghan of Luotian Valley.
"In this way, even if Xinghan uses Secret Techniques and takes advantage of a Super Grade Spiritual Artifact, the outco is still uncertain!" he thought to himself.
Just as Situ Cheng wanted to say sothing, i Chuxue spoke up.
"Why are we just guessing here? Why not just ask this kid directly?" She chuckled softly.
This caused him and Teng Lingyi to exchange a glance, and they couldn’t help having so internal complaints.
"Isn’t it just because this kid is handso that she can’t help but want to tease him a bit."
The cultivators of Spring and Autumn Mountain walk the path of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, their styles of conduct differ from the norm, often doing outrageous things without any formal restraint.
They knew i Chuxue to so extent.
To think she dared to lift a jade finger to lightly tease the chin of the Sword Venerable when she first t him!
This woman, called a flirt by Nangong Yue, waved her jade hand, causing the surrounding clouds to dissipate.
The three Eighth Realm Great Cultivators revealed themselves from their Concealing Technique, appearing before everyone.
The powerful spiritual fluctuations from the sky naturally attracted the attention of everyone below.
Even Chu Huaixu on the arena raised his eyes to look up.
i Chuxue, dressed in red, floated forward a few feet, then lowered her head to et his gaze.
Her face wore a captivating smile, and just one look at her would make one’s heart race, uncontrollably drawn to her.
"Is it an Innate Charr Physique?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
The appearance of the three Eighth Realm Great Cultivators naturally made so people recognize them.
Geng Tianhe and others imdiately began to pay their respects.
The high status and esteed positions of these three cultivation giants demanded all the low tier cultivators present to respectfully salute, including Chu Huaixu, who was no exception.
"Greetings, Situ Divine Sword."
"Greetings, Elder Teng."
"Greetings, Elder i."
Almost everyone was shocked in their hearts, not expecting that Eighth Realm Great Cultivators would specially co to watch the competition!
What a great honor!
i Chuxue laughed, and the sound of her laughter made even so won among the audience feel their hearts flutter inexplicably!
In front of her, Shen Miaoyun’s clumsy Desire Illusion Realm seed childish.
"No need for formalities," i Chuxue said.
Her voice also had an enchanting quality, different from ordinary speech.
It wasn’t the screechy type, but rather a breathy and enchanting sound, yet with a hint of superiority, making people feel compelled to bow to her.
"Chu Huaixu, you truly opened my eyes today."
"I didn’t expect you to be so handso, and your strength is not to be underestimated, which is quite surprising," she said with her enchanting eyes looking directly at him.
Below the arena, Han Shuangjiang’s gaze changed slightly as she listened.
Even the delicate brows of the Big Ice Cube frowned a bit at this mont.
Yet this fellow ranked second on the Accompanying Play Must-Eat List remained unaffected, maintaining his usual composure.
He looked at the enchanting woman above with his deep eyes that could even show affection to a dog.
In a tone neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "Elder i flatters ."
He’s encountered many of these flamboyant older sisters at work.
They tease you deliberately when idle, but never actually an any harm.
That’s exactly the effect they aim for, purely to play with you.
He enjoys contending with these patrons, often erging victorious, leaving the other party frustrated, doubting their own charm, and then continuing to book him as an accompanying playmate, all without giving up.
"This young man’s look seems like that of a deep romantic?" i Chuxue, who walks the path of Desire, was slightly surprised.
She found the young man more and more interesting.
As for the spectators beside the arena, their hearts were once again shaken.
This Chu Huaixu actually received praise from the Eighth Realm Great Cultivators!
Standing nearby, Ji Sikong’s mindset improved, feeling more and more that his loss was not in vain.
He even suspected that the opposite side had sothing special going on that they hadn’t noticed.
He grew curious about why these three great cultivators, after hiding their traces, chose this mont to reveal themselves.
Sure enough, i Chuxue’s following words left most of the audience dumbfounded.
"I have a matter I’m curious about, and I assu you’re willing to enlighten , aren’t you?"
"I ask you, do you practice Sword and Body Dual Cultivation?"
Hearing this, Chu Huaixu felt a familiar sense wash over him.
If you’re going to ask, just ask. Why add the line "I assu you’re willing to enlighten , aren’t you?"
— It reeks of familiarity!
But am I practicing Sword and Body Dual Cultivation? Do I really count as Sword and Body Dual Cultivation?
This person, who is Swordless, without even a sword, imdiately put on a serious and earnest expression and calmly replied:
"Indeed!"
