"Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother He, you're here too," Bai Zhong said with a flattering smile as he ran over to Yu Cheng and He Chuxun.
Bai Zhong had always been overbearing in front of others, but he didn't dare to put on airs in front of the ten direct disciples. His attitude couldn't be any lower.
Many people had thought that since Bai Zhong was already the first core disciple, then he shouldn't be too far away from becoming one of the top ten pro-disciples. However, only Bai Zhong knew that the gap between him and the top ten pro-disciples could be described as the distance between heaven and earth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration.
There was once when Bai Zhong and He Chuxun sparred. He Chuxun defeated Bai Zhong in one move. After that, Bai Zhong understood that even though he was the first core disciple, he was nothing in front of the ten direct disciples. Therefore, Bai Zhong was very respectful to the ten direct disciples.
He Chuxun ignored Bai Zhong's flattering smile. On the other hand, Yu Cheng smiled and said without any arrogance, "Haha, we're just here to watch the show. Today's battle will determine who the first core disciple belongs to. Junior Brother Bai Zhong, you have to work hard."
"Yes, yes, I won't let Senior Brother Yu Cheng down," Bai Zhong replied with a smile.
He was just being polite. Yu Cheng naturally didn't want Bai Zhong to win. In other words, to Yu Cheng, no matter who won or lost, it didn't affect him. The reason he came was because he had too much free time.
During this period of time, Yu Cheng didn't have any missions that required him to go out. He cultivated step by step every day and had nothing to do at other times. Therefore, he came here to watch.
After chatting for a while, Bai Zhong tactfully left and stepped onto the first battle platform alone. He returned to his previous dignified appearance and quietly waited for Xiao Chen's arrival.
He didn't have to wait for long. After about ten minutes, Xiao Chen arrived at the Battle Gate Pavilion alone. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding disciples became restless. Xiao Chen's arrival meant that the battle was about to begin.
He took the initiative to open up a path for Xiao Chen and calmly stepped onto the first platform, facing Bai Zhong.
As Xiao Chen and Bai Zhong arrived on the battle platform, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion appeared on the platform. This old man was an elder of Tianfeng Shengzong. He was a half-step saint and was also the Pavilion Lord of the Battle Gate Pavilion. The fact that he personally appeared to preside over this battle showed how high the standard of this battle was.
The old man glanced at Xiao Chen and Bai Zhong calmly. Then, he said, "Is there anything you two need to change about this battle? Or you can give up. "
"No," Xiao Chen and Bai Zhong replied in unison.
"Alright, let's begin then." Seeing that the two of them had no intention of changing or going back on their words, the old man announced the start of the match.
As the sound of his voice faded, the old man took the initiative to leave the first platform and soared into the air, leaving the platform to Xiao Chen and Bai Zhong.
When the battle began, the two of them looked at each other. Bai Zhong was the first to erupt with a soaring aura.
His cultivation was at the Initial Dao Confirmation Realm and was infinitely close to the Initial Dao Confirmation Realm. Feeling the terrifying aura from Bai Zhong, Xiao Chen also released an aura that wasn't any weaker than Bai Zhong's.
Their auras collided with each other. Judging from their auras alone, it was impossible to determine who was stronger and who was weaker.
There was a hint of coldness in their eyes. Bai Zhong was the first to make a move. He struck out with his palm, and a giant palm condensed from spiritual energy came crashing down on Xiao Chen.
"Heaven Level Lower Martial Skill, Heavy Mountain Palm. Senior Brother Bai Zhong really didn't show any mercy. He actually used the Heavy Mountain Palm as soon as he attacked."
Without the slightest intention of probing, Bai Zhong immediately used the Heavy Mountain Palm. Upon seeing this, many disciples softly exclaimed in surprise. No one had expected that Bai Zhong would actually use a Tian Class Martial Skill when the battle had just begun.
Facing Bai Zhong's Multiple Mountain Palms, Xiao Chen's storage ring flashed with a bright light. The Black Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and his sword intent soared to the sky. Xiao Chen immediately slashed out with his sword, using the Triple Wave Stacking Technique.
"Senior Brother Bai Zhong, it seems that you have mastered a lot of Heaven Level Martial Skills. Today, let me teach you a lesson. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Mastering a lot of Heaven Level Martial Skills doesn't necessarily mean that it will be good. If you don't master it, it will bring shame to the name of Heaven Level Martial Skills."
Xiao Chen said plainly as the sword edge and the palm print clashed.
Bai Zhong had used a Heaven Level Lower Martial Skill, while Xiao Chen had only used a Earth Level Upper Martial Skill. However, Bai Zhong's Heavy Mountain Palm had only reached the Proficient Realm. He hadn't even reached the Perfection Realm.
On the other hand, although Xiao Chen's Three Layers of Waves was only a Earth Level Upper Martial Skill, Xiao Chen had already cultivated it to the Perfection Realm. Therefore, when the two collided, Xiao Chen's Three Layers of Waves was actually not inferior to Bai Zhong's Heavy Mountain Palm.
One was a low-grade Heaven Level martial arts technique, while the other was a high-grade Earth Level martial arts technique. Logically speaking, Xiao Chen's three layers of overlapping waves should not be a match for the Mountainous Palm. However, it was proven that in front of a high-grade Earth Level martial arts technique, the Mountainous Palm, which was only in the Proficient Realm, could not gain any advantage at all.
Just as Xiao Chen had said, Bai Zhong had mastered quite a number of Heaven Level Martial Skills. There were a total of five of them. These were also the skills that he had learned over the years using his status as the first core disciple.
Previously, whenever the Sage Sect had a reward, Bai Zhong would choose the Heaven Level Martial Skill without hesitation. However, just as Xiao Chen had said, Bai Zhong had mastered so many Heaven Level Martial Skills, but he hadn't cultivated any of them to the Perfection Realm.
Mixed but not refined. Using these words to describe Bai Zhong was not wrong.
The power of a Heaven Level Martial Skill naturally didn't need to be stubborn. However, if one wasn't proficient in it, the true power of a Heaven Level Martial Skill wouldn't be able to be unleashed. Just like now, Xiao Chen had only used Three Layers of Waves to block Bai Zhong's Heavy Mountain Palm. This was the most direct proof.
A Heaven Level Lower Martial Skill at the Perfection Realm was actually not stronger than a Earth Level Upper Martial Skill at the Perfection Realm.
The sword edge and the palm print collided violently and then canceled each other out. Seeing that Xiao Chen had easily blocked Bai Zhong's attack, Yu Cheng, who was below the stage, smiled faintly.
"This Junior Brother Xiao Chen is quite interesting. Previously, I also heard some things about Bai Zhong. This person placed too much emphasis on Heaven Level Martial Skills, so he learned all of them. However, he didn't know that learning so many Heaven Level Martial Skills would actually be of little use. They were mixed but not refined. He simply couldn't unleash the true power of a Heaven Level Martial Skill."
Yu Cheng agreed with Xiao Chen's words. Instead of splitting his energy on different Heaven Level Martial Skills, it was better to focus on one Heaven Level Martial Skill. If he could successfully reach the Perfection Realm, he would definitely be much stronger than Bai Zhong.
