In the Nine Regions Calendar year 6348, the duel on the Cloud Platform of Spirit Sword Mountain was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
Although the cultivation base of the two combatants was not high, only low-level Foundation Establishment — one of them even entered the Foundation Establishment Stage before the duel.
However, this duel revealed a truth to the countless onlookers at the scene, and even the cultivators who later learned the whole story of this duel.
Just how low could a cultivator's moral integrity go?!
When the referee of the duel, Feng Yin Daoist Master, announced Wang Lu's victory and explained that the previous golden light was released by Wang Lu himself, the audience almost rioted.
They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen such a shameless one! A peak duel of strength and wisdom, a duel that was supposed to promote the spirit of Immortal Cultivation and provide positive energy, was completely tarnished by Wang Lu's crafty plot at the last moment! The audience felt as if they ate a fruit and got half a worm, which couldn't be more disgusting.
However, there was no doubt about the outcome of this duel. Although Wang Lu didn't have any moral integrity, he didn't violate the rules — the rules didn't say that the contestants couldn't release their own golden light to falsify the result. And Liu Li, upon seeing the golden light, relaxed her vigilance, which was her own stupidity, so she couldn't blame others.
In fact, after the twenty layers of Fiery Sword, Liu Li's magical power was almost exhausted, unable to maintain the operation of her Sword Heart — of course, compared to the seriously injured and dying Wang Lu, she still had the upper hand in terms of combat effectiveness. Unfortunately … at the last moment, the deciding factor was not the combat effectiveness.
The result of the duel was recognized by the Peak Deity Stage Disciple of Mysterious Sky Mansion. He wryly smiled and said that this time, the Mysterious Sky Mansion was going to lose miserably.
Of course, this was a lie, because, except for a few people, most of the people who bet on Liu Li were still betting on her.
No one thought that Wang Lu could really win, but in the end, he still won.
For such a result, the celebration banquet that Lingjian School had originally prepared had to be canceled. Originally, they planned to make friends with the cultivators from various sects who came to watch the duel, but now, there was nothing left to do. After the duel was over, they went back to their respective sects with a disgusted feeling.
And many righteous people, before they were about to leave, showed clear hostility towards Wang Lu.
"Brat, if you leave the mountain in the future, don't ever let me see you, or else I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
"That's right, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you!"
"Hmph, if I wasn't a guest, I would definitely give you a good beating to vent my anger!"
In this regard, the elders of Lingjian School could only smile bitterly. Although the disciples of the same school were on the same side, they couldn't speak up for the direct disciple. To be honest, most of them had complicated feelings.
As for Wang Lu himself, while receiving treatment from the sect's elders, he made a decisive statement in the face of the crowd's agitation. "Alright, alright, come and hit me!"
The warriors of justice were all stunned.
"You, you're giving up on treatment?!"
"Are you provoking us!?"
Wang Lu nodded. "That's right. Hit me if you can."
"Fine, you're seeking your own death!"
Therefore, all kinds of flying swords, seals, talismans, flags, and other things covered the sky. The Seventh Elder who was in charge of treatment was shocked.
Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the sea of flying swords, Wang Lu stretched out his right hand. "Wait!"
"What, you want to beg for mercy again?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Wang Lu said, "If you want to hit me, you can, but you have to pay first."
"…"
"What?"
Wang Lu said confidently, "There's no reason for me to waste my time and energy to satisfy your sense of justice, right? If you want to hit me, you can, but you have to pay ten thousand spiritual stones first, and then I'll fight with you in the arena. "
"One, ten thousand spiritual stones!?"
Wang Lu sneered. "This is the base price. My energy is limited in one day, and I can't play with you indefinitely. I'll only fight ten battles a day, and the battles will start according to the order of your bids. I'll give you ten minutes to bid. The number of slots is limited, so if you want to fight, hurry up!"
"F * ck, don't you have any shame!?"
Wang Lu slapped the table. "If you're poor and have no money, just say it!"
"F * ck, I, your father, bid one hundred thousand spiritual stones, see how I beat the sh * t out of you!"
Wang Lu slapped the table again. "You, Daoist Master King Pill, have the nerve to challenge me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Who's the shameless one here? I'll say in advance, the cultivation base is limited to Xudan and below, not Xudan. If you have a high cultivation base, you can pay double the price and suppress your cultivation base and primordial spirit. If you want to accept the bid, you can choose not to accept it. I'll accept the reservation here. After paying the deposit, when my cultivation base is the same as yours, I can accept the challenge at any time! "
"F * ck, you're quite good at scheming!?"
Wang Lu sneered. "Didn't you inquire about my name before coming here? How could a lowly person like you hope to compete with the brilliance of the top student of Spirit Sword Sect? Okay, it's almost time, is the bidding over? "
"I'll go first, I bid five hundred thousand spiritual stones! Although I'm in Xudan Stage, I'll suppress my cultivation base to low-level Foundation Establishment. I won't take advantage of you, I just want to tell you that there's still justice in the Immortal Cultivation World of Nine Regions! "
A sword cultivator from the first rank sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, loudly shouted with a righteous look, which won a burst of applause.
"Well said, Fellow Daoist Luo San! Us righteous cultivators should have this kind of courage, Luo San, I support you! "
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Luo San, today I'm short of money, so I can't compare to you, these rich cultivators. However, what you just said is right in my heart. Of your five hundred thousand spiritual stones, I'll support you five thousand. It's just a little bit of my strength, but I also want to promote righteousness! To raise the prestige of my righteous path! "
Luo San solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow daoists, for your support. I bid a sky-high price to fight him, not to become famous, but to promote righteousness! Since ancient times, my Heavenly Sword Sect has upheld the righteous path. Since the great war of immortals and demons, we've been one of the mainstays of the righteous path alliance. Our Sect Leader, Sword Sixteen, has reached the Unity Stage, and his divine sword is rarely matched. In addition, our sect takes good care of our disciples and trains them seriously. We have … "
"F * ck, advertising costs a fee. If you keep talking, you'll have to pay more!" Wang Lu slammed the registration desk below the Cloud Platform, urging Luo San to go up and fight as soon as possible.
Luo San looked regretful, but he didn't say anything. He went up the platform with his sword in hand, stepped on a sword light, and floated in the air. He pointed his sword at Wang Lu from above. "Come up, let me teach you the principles of being a man and cultivating immortality!"
Wang Lu sneered and walked up the cloud platform.
A moment later.
"Fellow Daoist Luo San!?"
"Fellow Daoist Luo San, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"Wang Lu, what kind of trick did you use to injure Fellow Daoist Luo San!?"
Wang Lu gently wiped the Sword of Mount Kun on the platform, and with a disdainful smile, he said to himself, "I've killed him. Next!"
"Damn, I, Xiang Tiange of Empty Bamboo Mountain, bid 450,000 spirit stones to avenge Fellow Daoist Luo San! I'm also a Xudan Stage cultivator, and I've suppressed my cultivation to low-level Foundation Establishment. I don't want to take advantage of you. I want to see what kind of trick you have! "
Another moment passed.
"Brother Xiang!?"
"Brother Xiang, what's wrong with you? Wake up!?"
"Wang Lu, what kind of trick did you use to injure Brother Xiang!?"
Wang Lu gently wiped the Sword of Mount Kun on the platform, and with a disdainful smile, he said to himself, "Double-kill, next!"
"Next your mother! I'm Gu Yu of Ghost Yin Mountain, King Pill Realm. Do you dare to fight me!?"
Wang Lu snorted. "Do you dare to pay first?"
"Damn, isn't it just double!? 400,000 spirit stones are here. Wait for me on the platform! According to your request, I'll suppress my cultivation to high-level Foundation Establishment. Let's see how you stop me! "
A moment passed.
"Brother Gu Yu!?"
"Brother Gu Yu, what's wrong with you? Wake up!?"
"Wang Lu, what kind of trick did you use to injure Brother Gu Yu!?"
Wang Lu gently wiped the Sword of Mount Kun on the platform. With a disdainful smile on his face, he said to himself, "Big kill, next!"
…
After ten rounds, Wang Lu withdrew the Sword of Mount Kun and slowly walked off the platform.
The surrounding area was deathly silent. Hundreds of people involuntarily made way for him.
Wang Lu smiled. "My Lingjian School is hospitable. You can stay on the mountain for a few days. My rules remain the same. Ten rounds a day. The highest bidder will fight. I wish you all good luck!"
Watching Wang Lu leave, the hundreds of people didn't open their mouth for a long time!
Just now, he had fought ten battles in a row, and by the end of it, the people below the stage were actually scared witless.
Previously, when they watched the fight between Wang Lu and Liu Li, they only saw that Wang Lu was suppressed by Liu Li to the point that he had to resort to tricks to fight. Thus, they inwardly thought, how much real ability does this kid have? They had been cultivating for many years, experienced and knowledgeable. Coupled with their superior intelligence, they could certainly break his tricks!
However, when they went on the platform and fought against him, they found that the average person didn't even have the qualification to see his tricks. His real ability was enough to make them speechless.
A total of ten people, among which, there were geniuses who were regarded as the future hope of some righteous sects, as well as seniors who suppressed their cultivation base in an attempt to win with their rich experience and insight … Without exception, all of them fell under the sword of Wang Lu.
Although among these ten people, there were no geniuses from high-rank sects, there were also no weak ones. However, Wang Lu's restriction was only below Xudan Stage, which meant that the opponent might have a complete stage advantage over him. But this was still not enough, far from enough. Even Daoist Master King Pill, in Foundation Establishment Stage, could not penetrate Wang Lu's sword defense, nor could he resist his counterattack. As for cultivators above Yuanying Stage? Perhaps they could defeat Wang Lu with their Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation base, but they also wanted face. Yuanying bullying Foundation Establishment Stage, how could they have the nerve to do that?
After ten consecutive defeats, few people remembered Wang Lu's shamelessness. Instead, many people remembered the words of the oldest person in Kunlun Sect, the Immortal Weng, who was known to be able to see through the past and the present.
"From now on, the Immortal Cultivation World of Nine Regions is the world of the young."
When the Immortal Weng said this, it just so happened that Qiong Hua of Shengjing Sect had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage through meditation, which caused a sensation in the Nine Regions. People only thought that it was the goodwill of Kunlun Sect to Shengjing Sect, but now, it seemed like there was a hidden meaning in these words.
Qiong Hua Fairy, Zhan Ziye, Liu Li, Wang Lu … Most of these peerless geniuses of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League suddenly rose in the last ten years, and then went far beyond the rest of the Immortal Cultivation World. Now, they have yet to grow up, but they have already shown their sharpness. In the future, once their cultivation base is successful, perhaps no one could stop them!
"The new generation excels the old."
For a time, many Immortal Cultivation World seniors thought of this old saying.
