When in the Body Refinement realm, Sikong Qing had also been a rare genius, a direct disciple.
However, while she had been a genius then, she had still not been as shocking as she was now.
After refining qi into aura-qi and stepping into the Martial Scholar realm, her rate of improvement had become extremely terrifying.
In Yan Zhaoge's impression, she was completely not inferior to the likes of Ye Jing and Zhao Hao.
Yan Zhaoge was rather used to Sikong Qing's current outstanding talent, not finding it strange. Just having felt this, Song Chao and the others were already hard pressed to remain calm.
To Song Chao and the others, however calm they were, they too felt pressured at this moment.
Yan Zhaoge was already not something that could be described with just shocking talent. And other than Yan Zhaoge, the other members of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation had also displayed a level that surpassed that of their peers.
Broad Creed Mountain's geniuses seemed about to welcome a surge.
Although for potential to be converted into true strength, for young geniuses to grow into true bigwigs, time was needed to accumulate and be verified.
However, Song Chao suddenly thought of the generation of the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge and the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou.
Especially now, the battle between Sikong Qing and Li Jingwan was also gradually beginning to determine a victor.
The two did not go overboard, fighting without any anger at all. However, Sikong Qing's advantage was growing greater and greater.
It was just that Li Jingwan was extremely resilient, executing Jade Sea City's direct lineage defensive martial art, Unmoving Reef, stably guarding her own position, resembling a reef on the seashore that remained unmoving despite the crashing of the tempestuous waves. It was not so easy for Sikong Qing to completely turn her advantage into victory.
In the Heavenly Connection Meet at Clear Concealed Lake, Li Jingwan had not fought much, and Yan Zhaoge also did not understand her very well.
Afterwards, when Li Jingwan had been captured by Liu Shengfeng and the others, she had only managed to escape thanks to Yan Zhaoge's rescue.
However, that was because Liu Shengfeng and the others were all late Xiantian Martial Scholar experts, the difference in their cultivation bases too great. With even Ruan Ping and Ye Zhongzhou having fallen, Li Jingwan had also been hard pressed to resist.
Currently, clashing with Sikong Qing who was also an outer aura Martial Scholar, Yan Zhaoge had already seen through some of her abilities.
This girl's martial talent was similarly not low. While she was inferior to Sikong Qing, she was also rather outstanding, not letting down her reputation as a direct disciple of Jade Sea City's Sacred Ground fall.
Amidst the defensive stance of the Immovable Reef, tightly guarding the door, another supreme martial art of Jade Sea City, the Dark Sea Flow, was also mixed within.
Dark Sea Streamers were like the undercurrents at the bottom of the sea. They contained extremely strong hidden force and hidden force. They could attack and defend at the same time, neutralize the enemy's attacks and invisibly injure the enemy.
A martial art like the Dark Sea Flow was the reason why Jade Sea City had been privately described by some first and second-rate powers as' Jade Sea City is the most vicious'.
Apart from the Unmovable Reef and the Dark Sea Current, Li Jingwan was not only defending and not attacking. While guarding her own door tightly, she would suddenly launch a Line Edge, like a needle hidden in silk floss, causing Sikong Qing to have to be careful, not daring to go all out and attack.
However, on the whole, it was still Sikong Qing who held the upper hand.
And from Yan Zhaoge's understanding of Sikong Qing's style, she belonged to the grand and majestic type of martial dao, being rather similar to Shi Tie and Xu Fei.
Even if he fell into a disadvantageous position, he would not lose his composure and advance step by step. It was not impossible for him to make a comeback.
Having the upper hand, while it was rare for him to obtain a quick victory, his advantage would grow greater and greater, becoming more and more stable, not giving his opponent any hope of making a comeback.
Indeed, after fighting for a while longer, while she had still not truly been defeated, Li Jingwan sighed lightly, "Junior apprentice-sister Sikong, good skills. I admit that I am inferior."
Saying thus, she retreated, leaping out of the battle circle. Sikong Qing did not pursue her, keeping her sword and standing, cupping her hands towards Li Jingwan, "Senior apprentice-sister Li, thanks for going easy."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I heard that you have already officially reported to the clan that you are going out on a long journey, tempering your martial dao?"
Sikong Qing nodded, "Yes, Master has already agreed."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Have you decided on the route? Where is your first stop?"
Sikong Qing answered, "The East Sea."
The East Sea had never been a place of calm and tranquil winds. There were many strange beasts, at the same time also many solitary martial practitioners who took risks out of desperation, drifting along with the waves.
These were all vicious characters, used to living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, lawless and out of control. A considerable portion of them did not even give face to the six great Sacred Grounds, hiding in the depths of the sea after causing trouble. If they could avoid it, they would avoid it, but if they couldn't, they would resign themselves to their fate.
The situation in the sea was complicated. Wanting to find someone was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
It was only the experts of Jade Sea City who were similarly familiar with the situation in the sea that could cause these people to feel some fear.
Especially with the entrance to the Flame Devil World being on the East Sea, with Flame Devils frequently entering, that place was filled with danger.
In going to the East Sea, Sikong Qing naturally did not intend to be by Fu Enshu's side at all times. Therefore, it would be very hard to guarantee her safety.
However, it was also precisely because of this that Sikong Qing intended to head to the East Sea.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Song Chao and Li Jingwan, "Junior apprentice-sister Sikong, why don't you travel together with senior apprentice-brother Song and junior apprentice-sister Li."
"It is not seeking Jade Sea City's protection, but at least you can understand the situation in the Water Domain and the East Sea from senior apprentice-brother Song and the others, not going there in the dark."
"On the sea, many times, natural disasters are more ominous than man-made disasters."
In the Water Domain of the Eight Extremities World, more than half of it was the sea.
The land to the east of the mainland, as well as the part of the sea near the mainland, formed the Water Domain.
Jade Sea City was situated on a massive island on the East Sea.
Numerous islands dotted the sea densely like stars in the sky, all of them also belonging to the Water Domain.
The sea was usually divided into the North Sea, the East Sea and the South Sea. The part near the mainland was known as the Inner North Sea, the Inner East Sea and the Inner South Sea.
The Inner East Sea was completely a part of the Water Domain, while the Inner North Sea and the Inner South Sea, other than being encompassed by the Water Domain, each had a portion that belonged to the Thunder Domain and the Lake Domain respectively.
Outside the Water Domain were the Three Great Outer Seas. Further east of the Three Great Outer Seas was generally known as the deep ocean.
Hearing his words, Sikong Qing nodded, "Yes, I understand. I might have to trouble senior apprentice-brother Song and senior apprentice-sister Li afterwards."
Song Chao and Li Jingwan both said that it was fine.
Li Jingwan smiled slightly, holding Sikong Qing's hand, "Jingwan is untalented, but I can still be a guide for junior apprentice-sister Sikong."
Broad Creed Mountain and Jade Sea City had originally been on friendly terms. In the incident of the devilish domain at Clear Concealed Lake, she had also been saved by Yan Zhaoge. Therefore, she had a very good impression of Broad Creed Mountain.
While Sikong Qing's personality was cold, her heart was devoted to the martial dao, her mind pure and clear. Li Jingwan also felt that she was rather amiable.
On the other hand, while Sikong Qing didn't like to interact with others, she could also feel Li Jingwan's good intentions without any distracting thoughts. Being held by Li Jingwan at this moment, she didn't reject it.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Since that is so, I will have to trouble senior apprentice-brother Song and junior apprentice-sister Li."
Sikong Qing prepared her luggage, then set off with the people of Jade Sea City, heading to the Water Domain.
After sending Song Chao, Sikong Qing and the others off, Yan Zhaoge focused on his own matters within Broad Creed Mountain.
As time passed, many of Yan Zhaoge's ideas were also gradually being perfected.
As time flowed, when Yan Zhaoge regained his wits, the annual Extreme Yin Bout finally arrived once more. (To be continued.)
