Hu Jilong was a famous genius in the Butterfly Sect. Although he was only at the Doppelganger Stage, his cultivation time was much shorter than others. Moreover, he was a cultivator with the Celestial Spiritual Root. He had seven Spiritual Roots, which were Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder!
Having a seven-elemental Spiritual Root was very beneficial for cultivation. Of course, you had to differentiate between the primary and secondary ones. If you cultivated all seven elemental Spiritual Roots, then sorry, you would be out of luck. In the end, you might not be able to achieve anything. You might even become a sloppy piece of trash.
The reason why Hu Jilong was valued by the Butterfly Sect was that among the seven Spiritual Roots, the two most prominent Spiritual Roots were the Wind and Thunder Spiritual Roots.
The Spiritual Roots of cultivators were divided into two types: Basic Spiritual Roots and Mutated Spiritual Roots. Basic Spiritual Roots were the basic Spiritual Roots, which were the five Spiritual Roots: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. However, there were many Mutated Spiritual Roots. For example, the Wind Spiritual Root and Thunder Spiritual Root belonged to the category of Mutated Spiritual Roots. Even Ice Spiritual Roots belonged to the category of Mutated Spiritual Roots.
The biggest characteristic of Mutated Spiritual Roots was that, whether it was in terms of attack or defense, Mutated Spiritual Roots had an advantage over Foundation Spiritual Roots. The main reason was that Mutated Spiritual Roots were rare, and since Mutated Spiritual Roots were rare, people had no experience in dealing with Mutated Spiritual Roots. In this case, people with Mutated Spiritual Roots would naturally have a big advantage when fighting against people with Foundation Spiritual Roots.
Ordinary cultivators would be happy to have one Mutated Spiritual Root. However, Hu Jilong had two Mutated Spiritual Roots. In addition, he mainly cultivated these two Mutated Spiritual Roots. Therefore, he was very famous among the younger generation of disciples in the Butterfly Sect. This also fostered his arrogant character.
It was precisely because of his arrogance that many cultivators in the Butterfly Sect did not get along well with him. The cultivator who spoke to him before was one of them.
This Cultivator was called Liu Wenzheng. This person's strength was very good. However, Hu Jilong had contradicted him in front of everyone. This made him hold a grudge against Hu Jilong. Because of this, he deliberately instigated Hu Jilong to deal with Zhao Hai. He knew that with Zhao Hai's strength, Hu Jilong wouldn't be able to win against Zhao Hai.
The reason why Liu Wenzheng was so confident in Zhao Hai was because he was one of the spectators of the battle between Zhao Hai and Lu Sheng a few years ago. However, he was only watching from below and was the most inconspicuous member.
However, this also made him remember Zhao Hai. He remembered how Zhao Hai looked when he fought with Lu Sheng. He knew very well that Zhao Hai's current strength was definitely much higher than the Clone Realm. Perhaps Hu Jilong was considered an expert among the Clone Realm cultivators, but compared to Zhao Hai, he was far inferior.
The cultivators of the Butterfly Sect were not as united as the people of the Tyrant's Blade Sect. They were familiar with this kind of tripping thing, so Liu Wenzheng did not feel any guilt.
Zhao Hai didn't know that the people of the Butterfly Sect were still causing trouble for their own people. He didn't care about it. In any case, he had to deal with Hu Jilong. That guy was too arrogant.
Li Fei and the others had ugly expressions on their faces as they followed behind Zhao Hai. Li Fei snorted and said, "Just wait. That guy better not let me meet him. Otherwise, he will suffer."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "If you meet that guy, you still need to be careful. Although that guy is arrogant and annoying, I can see that his strength isn't bad. He's just one step away from entering the Uniting Soul Stage. Moreover, his spirit root seems to be very special. If you really meet him, you need to pay attention to his attacks. He might be a cultivator with a mutated spirit root." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "
The reason why Zhao Hai said this was because he noticed that Hu Jilong's butterfly knife was different from other people's butterfly knives. The butterfly knives of the people of the Butterfly Sect had a characteristic, which was that they were thin. This was because butterfly knives were foldable. If the blade was too wide, then the blade would widen. In this way, when the knife was opened, it would affect its use.
However, Hu Jilong's butterfly knife was narrower than other people's. In other words, the butterfly knife he used was narrower and lighter. If the knife was lighter, then his attack speed would be faster. If he didn't have a special Spirit Root, then he must have practiced a special Cultivation Method. However, Zhao Hai still felt a trace of lightning power from Hu Jilong's body. Perhaps it was because Hu Jilong's lightning Cultivation Method was about to make a breakthrough, so he couldn't completely control the lightning power. Therefore, Zhao Hai was able to see through it.
Li Fei and the others were very confident in Zhao Hai. When they heard Zhao Hai's words, Li Fei and the others were stunned. Then they immediately felt a chill in their hearts. They were very clear about what a mutated Spirit Root represented. No matter what kind of Spirit Root it was, it wasn't easy to deal with. If Hu Jilong really had a mutated Spirit Root, then they really had to be careful.
After returning to the Tyrant's Blade Sect's encampment, Zhao Hai invited everyone to his cave residence and had a good meal. Although the Tyrant's Blade Sect's cave residence had a special place to eat, Zhao Hai and the others still liked to eat in his cave residence. It was more casual this way.
After this day, although Zhao Hai and the others would occasionally go out, most of the time they stayed in the cave residence to cultivate. They were quietly waiting for the day of the tournament.
However, what made Zhao Hai surprised was that after they arrived at Yangding Mountain, they had to wait for half a month before the tournament began. This really made Zhao Hai feel very surprised. Later on, he asked someone and found out that this was to take care of some sects that came relatively late. This was because some sects only arrived two days before the tournament.
The tournament also used a single-round elimination system. There were no restrictions on attack methods, but to reduce casualties as much as possible, there would be a referee system. If one side admitted defeat, the other side couldn't attack. The opponents would be decided by drawing lots. Those who weren't drawn could go to the site to watch the tournament.
Because there were too many sects and too many people participating, this tournament lasted for a total of one month. At the beginning, each sect's Avatar Realm cultivators would compete. Then, it would be the Soul Combination Realm cultivators, and finally, it would be the Dust Splitting Realm cultivators. Zhao Hai and the others belonged to the first batch of people to participate in the tournament.
On the day of the tournament, Elder Yue Feng brought all the cultivators of the Tyrant's Blade Sect to Yangding Mountain. This time, there weren't many cultivators who came to the Tyrant's Blade Sect. There were a hundred participants, less than a hundred guards and other staff members.
Fortunately, Yangding Mountain was very big. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people. Even so, there were still many cultivators who couldn't go up the mountain. They could only stand halfway up the mountain and wait for the results.
This time, there wasn't any leader's speech. Because this place was closer to the Linjiang Sect, the nearby sect was considered the host. Therefore, the people of the Linjiang Sect went up and said a few words. Then, they announced the start of the tournament.
Zhao Hai liked this kind of method. He didn't like people talking about useless things for a long time. After the tournament, they would become the main character, and the participants would become the supporting characters.
In fact, Zhao Hai didn't have to worry about this at all. In the True Spiritual Domain, the most important thing was practicality. Naturally, no one would waste time talking about useless things.
Soon, the first twenty groups of cultivators were selected. There were no Tyrant's Blade Sect members, but there were Butterfly Sect members. Zhao Hai had already inquired about Hu Jilong's name these days. Of course, he was also paying attention to the other members of the Butterfly Sect. He didn't know about the conflict in the Butterfly Sect. He was afraid that the other members of the Butterfly Sect would follow Hu Jilong to deal with them. Then, it was necessary to understand the attacking methods of the Butterfly Sect in advance.
Soon, the first round of the tournament began. Zhao Hai and the others stood below the arena of the Butterfly Sect's cultivator. One of the two people on the arena was from the Butterfly Sect, while the other was from a small sect called the Dark Dragon Sect. This small sect was very interesting. The weapon they used was very special. It was a nine-section whip.
After the two sides went up on the arena, they didn't say anything. They just cupped their fists and took out their weapons. The cultivator from the Dark Dragon Sect gently shook the nine-section whip in his hand. His nine-section whip was very special. The entire whip looked like a dragon. The front part of the whip looked like the dragon's head. The last part of the whip was the dragon's tail. Now, the whip was gently shaking in his hand. It looked like a black dragon that wanted to devour people.
The cultivator from the Butterfly Sect wasn't any worse than the other cultivator. He flipped the butterfly knife in his hand, looking like a butterfly flapping its wings and about to fly.
After observing the opponent for a few minutes on the arena, they began to test the opponent's strength. Zhao Hai paid attention to the butterfly knife used by the Butterfly Sect's cultivator. The butterfly knife could really be played with in their hands. The knife could even be used as a mutated nunchaku. In addition to the knife skills, the butterfly knife in their hands was really powerful. The number of strange moves they could use was something that Zhao Hai had never seen before.
On the other hand, the person using the nine-jointed whip was a bit worse. Although the nine-jointed whip was a strange weapon, Zhao Hai wasn't unfamiliar with it. He carefully studied the martial arts of Earth and found that there were a lot of nine-jointed whips on Earth. The nine-jointed whip used by the cultivator could only be regarded as average, there was nothing special about it.
After watching for a while, Zhao Hai knew that the cultivator using the nine-section whip would lose this time. First, it was because the strength of the cultivator wasn't as strong as the Butterfly Sect's cultivator. Second, his moves weren't as exquisite as the opponent's. Third, it was obvious that he had never encountered a Butterfly Sect's cultivator before. He was very unfamiliar with the butterfly knife. Therefore, when facing this kind of weapon, he was a little timid and didn't know how to deal with it. In this case, it would be strange if he could win.
There was another very special place in the major competition. It was that the use of clones and combat beasts was not allowed. Even a sect like the Beast Controlling Sect could only use three combat beasts. The number couldn't exceed three. For special cultivators like the Array Cultivator and the Weapon Cultivator, they couldn't use more than five magic tools or disk arrays. Therefore, the battle between the two was quickly decided. As Zhao Hai expected, the Butterfly Sect's cultivator won.
Zhao Hai also had a general understanding of the Butterfly Sect's butterfly knife. If this butterfly knife was used well, its power was really not small. It seemed that no matter what kind of weapon was used to the extreme, its power couldn't be underestimated.
