It was impossible for the sects of the Falling Star Continent to have all their disciples with superior-grade spiritual roots.
However, the Sect of All Times might be able to do it. As long as Jun Gou Sheng did not use his contribution points to exchange for other items and used them to exchange for superior-grade aptitude modification elixirs, it was not impossible for everyone to have superior-grade spiritual roots in the long run.
Su Xiaomo, who came to Taixuan Shengzong as a spy, claimed that he had a middle-grade spiritual root.
Therefore, when he performed the Nine Winding Shadow Steps so smoothly, the higher-ups immediately believed that without a strong enough spiritual root, it would be impossible to comprehend it to such a level in such a short time!
"How is this possible …" He Zongying was also shocked.
He had learned the Nine Winding Shadow Steps before. After studying it for a few months, he felt that it was not as cost-effective as other movement techniques, so he chose to give it up.
Now, not only did the guy who had just learned it, but he had also reached the level of Flowing Shadow Steps. He had definitely comprehended it to the extreme!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, he heard the sound of an explosion!
A palm print that seemed to carry flames came from the side. It was so fast and powerful that it made He Zongying's heart skip a beat. "This is bad …"
Boom!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He Zongying was hit and staggered back.
After he steadied himself, he looked at the faint flames gathering on Su Xiaomo's right fist and said in disbelief, "Sixth Style Blazing Palm!"
Whoosh!
Su Xiaomo did not say anything. He performed the Nine Winding Shadow Steps again and performed the Sixth Style Blazing Palm when there was an opening. Instantly, waves of heat appeared on the training field.
The spectating disciples and contestants were dumbfounded.
Su Xiaomo and He Zongying had agreed to a duel a month ago. Other than a few disciples, most people believed that the latter would easily defeat the former. After all, they were not on the same level.
However, now that the two of them were fighting, Gou Sheng, who was not favored, performed the Sixth Style Blazing Palm and Nine Winding Shadow Steps. Naturally, everyone present found it hard to believe.
Including Sun Yingquan, Xia Shuiyun, and the higher-ups of Taixuan Shengzong.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom!
Boom!
On the training field, Su Xiaomo used his body movement to move around, and at the right time, he would find a flaw and attack with the sixth style of Raging Flame Palm.
This kind of fighting style was both elegant and unpredictable, but also firm and powerful. It was very pleasing to the eye!
However …
But it was also hard to find any trace of him!
Unable to keep up with his opponent's rhythm in a short period of time, he could only fall into a passive position step by step. Step by step, he was forced to stagger back from the stage.
"Third Elder!"
One of the elders said in surprise, "This Su Gou Sheng's cultivation is at the level of Wuzong!"
With just two types of martial arts that had reached the pinnacle, it would be very difficult for Su Xiaomo to defeat He Zongying, who had already reached the pinnacle of Wuzong. Therefore, it was necessary to release his realm to Wuzong's level.
"A month ago, he had just broken through to Martial Master. A month later, he has the cultivation of Wuzong. Is he hiding his cultivation on purpose, or did he cultivate?" An elder questioned.
From a normal point of view, the higher-ups were more willing to believe that Su Xiaomo had been hiding his cultivation all this time.
"It should be both," Third Elder guessed.
Elder Sun said, "My son gave all 100 natural spirit stones that he had stored for many years to this kid. He has been cultivating very hard recently, so it's not surprising that he has the cultivation of Wuzong."
"Shui Yun also gave him 50 natural spirit stones," Elder Xia said.
Hearing the two of them say that, the elders who still had doubts were immediately relieved.
One of them said, "No wonder this kid could break through to Wuzong in such a short period of time. He was given so many resources."
Su Xiaomo's efforts did not go to waste. Although his sudden increase in strength shocked everyone, with the foreshadowing and the natural spirit stones given by Sun Yingquan and Xia Shuiyun, the higher-ups did not feel that it was too sudden.
Of course.
He also knew that no matter the result of this battle, he would be tested for his spiritual root aptitude. Therefore, as he attacked He Zongying, he thought to himself, "What level should I release?"
He definitely could not reveal his saint level aptitude, because it would cause a huge uproar. He might even be interrogated and investigated multiple times by the sect. Although he had done his background research, there was still a chance that his identity would be exposed if he was careless.
"High level is too common."
Su Xiaomo thought for a while and made a decision. "Let's use the supreme-grade spiritual root."
A supreme-grade spiritual root was already very good in second or third-rate sects, but it was only average in the first-rate sects.
Boom!
Su Xiaomo seized the opportunity and used the sixth style of Blazing Palm on He Zongying's back.
"…"
The spectating disciples' mouths twitched.
Many people thought that Senior He could finish off Gou Sheng in ten moves, but the two had exchanged almost thirty moves. Not only did the former fail, but he was also being suppressed.
"Damn it!"
He Zongying, who had stabilized his body, had a cold look in his eyes.
He could not accept that a disciple who had just joined the sect had beaten him so badly!
Huff! Huff!
He clenched his fists, and powerful spirit energy burst out from his body!
He was furious!
He was going to launch a desperate counterattack!
Whoosh!
At that moment, Su Xiaomo circled behind him and used the sixth style of Blazing Palm again, knocking He Zongying, who was about to explode, several meters away.
He had only released a little bit of Wuzong's cultivation, and he had relied on two types of Taixuan Shengzong martial arts to beat him so badly that he could not tell which way was north.
This guy was truly trash.
He was not trash, either. With his cultivation, he could suppress any disciple of the same level if he went to a second-rate or third-rate sect.
Unfortunately, Su Xiaomo, who had walked out of the Sect of All Times, had gone through all kinds of training and experience. Even if he was only a Rank-1 or Rank-2 Wuzong, he could completely suppress him with his rich combat experience!
"If I'm going to fight, I'll fight big!"
Whoosh!
Su Xiaomo quickly closed in and unleashed a barrage of attacks. Scorching hot palm prints filled the training grounds and waves of heat swept out in all directions.
What he needed to do was not give He Zongying a chance to counterattack and completely crush him!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the concentrated attacks, He Zongying was beaten back again and again. He did not even have the chance to charge up and explode. He was in an extremely difficult situation!
"…"
The outer sect disciple's mouth twitched violently.
He was one of the favorites to win the championship, yet he was beaten so badly by an outer sect disciple who had just joined the sect not long ago!
"Oh my god!"
Sun Yingquan was still in a state of shock. He said dumbfoundedly, "Gou Sheng, he … he's so strong!"
Xia Shuiyun thought to herself, "He's already thought it through. He's planning to use his true strength to tell his fellow disciples that he's not just a sucker for flattery and bootlicker."
"Ah! Ah! "
Boom!
He Zongying wanted to explode, but this kind of battle could only rely on shouting, so Su Xiaomo punched him in the face. He staggered a few steps back and almost fell on his butt.
"They're not on the same level." The elders shook their heads.
From the short exchange, they could already tell that while Su Xiaomo's cultivation was not very high, his combat experience and martial arts usage were completely superior.
"Surprise."
"A very big surprise!"
A smile appeared on Third Elder's face.
There were many disciples who joined the top sects every year, so it was normal for unexpected geniuses to appear.
However, this Gou Sheng gave Third Elder the feeling that while his cultivation was not high, his combat and martial arts usage were very experienced. Without the guidance of a master, it was impossible for him to reach such a level.
Boom!
At that moment, He Zongying, who was completely suppressed, could not withstand the bombardment. In the end, he was knocked out of the training field and sat on the ground. His expression was ferocious, and intense pain came from all over his body.
"Senior He."
Su Xiaomo stood on the stage and saluted. "Thank you for letting me win."
"First battle." Third Elder did not waste any time and immediately announced, "Gou Sheng wins. He Zongying is eliminated!"
