As soon as Hou Ping finished speaking, the experts behind the cave masters and the Tianmen Province experts behind the rostrum were all eager to give it a try.
Apart from the cave masters, Tu Yue Ye, and Luo Muxue, even Chi Xinshuai and Qiu Lengji had cold gazes.
To have a chance to show off in front of the Zhao ambassador was an opportunity that only came by once every ten years.
"Nightmare Cave, Luo Zhongyun."
"Ox Head Cave, Fu Biao."
Two figures flew out from the cave masters' seats and arrived at the center of the square.
When Su Fang heard the name Luo Zhongyun, he indeed saw Luo Zhongyun. In front of him was a man with a stocky build. Looking at this person's broad shoulders and thick waist, he was a tough stubble and had a physical advantage.
"Brother Luo, please."
"You're welcome."
Under everyone's gaze, Fu Biao and Luo Zhongyun each took a few steps back. Hou Ping stepped forward and pointed his finger. Three talismans appeared in the air and formed an invisible barrier.
"Tongbi Divine Fist!"
Fu Biao attacked first. With a bang, his aura surged out. Layers of energy exploded. It was five layers of energy.
This was a powerful person who had reached the fifth layer of the Dharma Cave realm. He was also one of the mainstays of Tianmen Province.
"Soul Snatching Flying Spear!"
Luo Zhongyun also released a shocking amount of energy. His energy had reached the sixth layer. He had already surpassed Fu Biao in terms of cultivation.
This was not a competition or a battle of magical powers. It was just a spar. Therefore, realms were secondary. The most important thing was to let the Zhao ambassador see how different he was.
Of course, not everyone could go up. If one was not at the Dharma Cave realm, it would be a joke.
A dozen silver spears appeared around Luo Zhongyun's body. They were not magical treasures, but spells. They were formed by spiritual power.
"Pa, pa, pa."
The burly Fu Biao immediately gained the upper hand. His body released layers of energy. As he waved his hands, several shadows of arms appeared around him. It was as if he had three heads and six arms.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The silver spears around Luo Zhongyun started to spin around his body. The shadows of the arms were like snakes, whipping the spears' defenses.
Peng Peng
The arm shadow caused the silver spear defense to tremble, forming an imposing aura that swept through the surrounding barrier. The Void Barrier immediately appeared.
Zi zi, the silver spear danced and spun around Luo Zhongyun, forming a flying spear defense. The arm shadow with divine power was unable to disperse it at all.
"Be careful, this is the Heart Shattering Palm that I have painstakingly researched."
The battle of spells shook the Flying Feather Peak.
Roughly half an incense stick's worth of time later, Fu Biao saw that Luo Zhongyun's defense was unbreakable. He immediately unleashed his strongest attack. All of his aura poured into his palms as he took a step forward. The instant his palms struck out, two palm winds smashed towards Luo Zhongyun like a mountain.
Luo Zhongyun still maintained his silver spear defense. At this moment, he was very confident. He looked straight at the palm wind that covered the area in front of him, and then with a boom.
The power of the palm shot out, and the light of the stars intersected. It was about to devour both the silver spear and Luo Zhongyun's defenses. However, the silver spear was still dancing in the air, strongly resisting the power of the palm and penetrating layer by layer.
With another boom, Luo Zhongyun and the silver spear were both forced back three meters. The silver spear stopped, and Luo Zhongyun calmly cupped his fists. "You're too courteous."
"Your spells are exquisite and your magic energy is powerful. I admire you." Fu Biao immediately admitted defeat.
"Good, the two of you have performed well. Here's your reward."
An envoy from the State of Zhao sat next to Shen Huangqi. He waved his hand to the person next to him.
A young woman appeared and took out two empty bags. She handed them over to Fu Biao and Luo Zhongyun. "The King of Yue's residence has a large reward. Three spirit treasures, fifty Meridian Loosening Pills, and an empty bag."
"Many thanks, milord."
The two of them immediately bowed to the envoy.
"The King of Yue's people."
Countless people were envious. They had actually received such a shocking reward. Even if they worked in Tianmen Province for their entire lives, they wouldn't receive three Dharma treasures.
Only one person wasn't envious at all. Instead, he stared at the State of Zhao's seats. He was secretly sizing up a middle-aged man in purple-yellow robes with an exquisite jade pendant at his waist and a folding fan. "Lord Pang."
"Heavenly Flame Cave, Fiend General."
"Six Plate Cave, Hong Li."
Once Luo Zhongyun and Fu Biao returned to their respective camps under countless envious gazes, they continued to fight. Two more experts from different cave masters appeared.
However, this time, the Fiend General and Hong Li only needed three moves to determine the victor. That Fiend General's cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Dharma Hole realm. That was too shocking.
Hong Li, who came from Six Plate Cave, was only at the sixth level of the Dharma Hole realm. There was a difference of an entire realm between them. So in just three moves, he was defeated by the Fiend General.
No matter how powerful Hong Li's magic was, it couldn't compare to his strength.
Hong Li was forced to leave without receiving any reward. As for the Heavenly Flame Cave's Fiend General, he remained in place, domineeringly sweeping his gaze over the cave masters.
The eighth level of the Dharma Hole realm was already beyond the reach of many people. Cultivating in the Dharma Hole realm wasn't like cultivating in the Secret Path realm. One had to cultivate magic energy.
Cultivating magic energy was too difficult. Using magic energy wasn't easy either. So when entering the Dharma Hole realm, many people would be stuck at the fifth level. There were very few people who could reach the eighth or ninth level.
Magic energy was a huge obstacle.
None of the cave masters stepped forward. The Fiend General puffed out his chest and said, "Haha, which friend wants to come and try?"
"I'm here to experience your skills."
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the main stage.
"Yunlu Training Ground's Shao Yunbai."
It was a white-clothed man. He didn't look like he was in his mid-twenties.
Shao Yunbai
Su Fang heard many people talking about this white-clothed man. He then heard, "He's an expert from Jade Heron Training Ground. I heard that he's one of the Jade Heron Training Ground's seedlings who are about to reach the Transcendent realm."
"Transcendent realm. Once he reaches the Transcendent realm, he'll be favored by the Hall Master."
Everyone was talking about the white-clothed man.
Those who knew about Shao Yunbai were all experts above the Dharma Hole realm. For someone like Su Fang who was in the Secret Path realm, the other party was like a god.
And a Transcendent realm seedling?
In the plaza, the Heavenly Flame Grotto's Fiend General cupped his fists and said, "Shao Yunbai, it's because of your many missions that we've only met each other and never had the chance to fight. It's my honor to be able to experience your skills at this banquet."
"I'm also very honored. Please." Shao Yunbai was like a graceful prince. After landing, he rolled up his sleeves.
"Firecloud Mountain Suppression!"
The Fiend General's aura suddenly erupted. The Dharma Hole realm's energy was too terrifying. Under the Fiend General's full power, his energy actually started burning.
"Heavenly Heart Finger!"
Shao Yunbai gently rose. He didn't seem to release the same terrifying aura as his opponent. However, his index finger suddenly turned a reddish-gold color.
"Heavenly Heart Finger! That's one of the strongest magic arts in Tianmen Province. Apart from being a Transcendent realm, it's also extremely powerful."
"That's right. The Sword Heart Finger that we originally cultivated actually came from the Heavenly Heart Finger. It evolved from this magic art."
Many people were praising Shao Yunbai.
Looking at the Tianmen Province's upper echelons from the sidelines, it was clear that they admired Shao Yunbai.
"Huchi!"
The Fiend General spat out an astonishing amount of flames. The instant Shao Yunbai's Heavenly Heart Finger arrived, a fiery hand appeared from the flames.
The fiery hand was truly powerful. This further proved that the Fiend General wasn't a simple person. He was able to grasp an even deeper level of magic arts.
"Bang!"
The fiery hand was about three meters long, while Shao Yunbai was like a weak chicken. He wasn't a match for the fiery hand at all.
As expected, the Heavenly Heart Finger was swept away by the hand. Not only did it disperse the energy from the Fiend General's finger, but it also crushed the Heavenly Heart Finger's energy bit by bit.
Shao Yunbai was forced to take a few steps back. The Fiend General proudly shouted, "Shao Yunbai, you're looking down on me. Hurry up and show me your true strength!"
Hu …
As an expert of the Heavenly Flame Grotto, the Fiend General had experienced many battles. He knew that Shao Yunbai was still hiding his true strength from this attack.
Did he think he could finish him off with this attack?
In the blink of an eye, a shocking aura erupted from Shao Yunbai's body. Above his aura, nine layers of Qi appeared.
Ninth level of the Dharma Cave Realm.
He was only a step away from the great circle of the Dharma Cave Realm. It was no wonder Shao Yunbai was a divine ability seedling.
In terms of cultivation, Shao Yunbai had already surpassed the Fiend General. However, the Fiend General was brimming with spiritual energy and was as steady as a mountain.
In other words, at the eighth level of the Dharma Cave Realm, he possessed the strength of a ninth level cultivator.
"Ninth level of the Dharma Cave Realm. Shao Yunbai, you are indeed a divine ability seedling. This is interesting. Be careful, Mount Firecloud!"
The Fire Fiend General instantly held his breath, and flames burned in his eyes. After he formed the seal, he took a step forward with booming footsteps. The flames that shot out from his surroundings were formed by countless Spirit Tattoos, and it caused the fire clouds that enveloped the Fire Fiend General to come to a stop.
Just how much energy was required to create such a magical art?
"Since your defense is strong, I'll use an unconventional move. You are indeed an expert. Heavenly Heart Finger!"
Shao Yunbai's aura was completely different from before. A moment ago, he had been an elegant young master. Now, he had become a divine weapon that could cut through all obstacles.
With a buzzing sound, Shao Yunbai soared into the air once more. His index finger emitted a sizzling golden light as he pointed at the incoming Fiend General.
Everyone's eyes widened, waiting for the result.
BOOM!
The golden light pushed out by the Heavenly Heart Finger landed on the Fire Cloud Defense. The Fire Cloud Defense immediately shattered. With an unstoppable force, the golden light shattered the Fire Fiend General's defense. The Fire Fiend General could only stare blankly at the golden light. He wanted to poke a hole in his forehead.
Bang!
But the golden light stopped just in time. It was just an inch away from shattering the Fiend General's head.
"Good!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
The Fiend General broke out in a cold sweat. "Shao Yunbai, you really are strong. I can't even block one of your attacks, but I'm still in the eighth level. Wait until I reach the ninth level. You won't have such an easy time. Thank you."
Shao Yunbai maintained his calm expression, but his aura was too terrifying. He slowly withdrew his aura. "Then I'll wait for you to break through to the ninth level."
"Here's a reward!"
At this time, the Zhao Empire's emissary to the left clapped for the two of them.
Another expert arrived at the plaza and took out two empty pouches. There were treasures and medicinal pills inside, drawing the envy of many people.
"Who else wants to spar with me?"
Once the Fiend General left, Shao Yunbai remained in the formation and cupped his fists in front of everyone.
This was a challenge.
"I am Zuo Li of the Cloud Cave. I am willing to spar with you."
A black-robed man rushed out from one of the immortal's seats.
Shao Yunbai was startled. The black-robed man landed on the ground, revealing a square face with short hair. "So it's senior apprentice-brother Zuo."
"Junior apprentice-brother!"
Zuo Li had come from the Cloud Cave. It seemed he had known Shao Yunbai for a long time. That meant this Zuo Li had once cultivated in a certain training hall in Tianmen Province.
