"Are you going to use your measurement to measure mine?"
When he was asked this question, Liu Xiangxiu felt that it was absurd for a moment.
He almost couldn't believe that these words came from an individual's mouth. This feeling was like a noble being pointed at by a beggar and asked, "Do you dare to compete with me to see who is nobler and who is richer?" or something similar.
In addition to the feeling of absurdity, it was also extremely ridiculous.
Liu Xiangxiu laughed and said, "It seems that you still don't understand the true meaning of Confucian orthodoxy."
"I'd like to hear the details," Yan Li said lightly.
Liu Xiangxiu said, "Confucian orthodoxy is formed by many disciples like me and many more disciples who are better than me. What you are provoking is not just one me, but many of me like me and many of me who are better than me. Do you know what this means? "
"What does it mean?" Yan Li said lightly.
"In the face of any provocation, we will retaliate with thunderous methods!" Liu Xiangxiu's eyes suddenly became fierce. The moment he raised his hand, an object shot out from his sleeve. It was vaguely a cube-like precious weapon with thunder and fire intertwined on it.
"I hope you will get what you want every time!" Yan Li had already drawn his sword before this, and a sword light shot out.
Bang!
A rapid explosion occurred in the middle of the lake. What was surprising was that the precious weapon with thunder and fire intertwined on it was actually at a disadvantage and was bounced far away.
Not only that, the aftershock of the sword light still had enough power to break through Liu Xiangxiu's protective vital energy and tear a corner of his chest.
Although it was just an insignificant corner, it was enough to shock people.
Who was Liu Xiangxiu? He was a rising genius disciple of the Five Elements Court, but his clothes were actually torn by an unknown individual. If this news spread out, it would be enough to make people's jaws drop.
Everyone looked at the sword again. The moon-white sword body was shining with light blue divine light. The streamlined shape without a handguard made it look even smoother and simpler.
More importantly, from the feedback of the divine light, it was a spirit grade treasure sword.
This was enough to make them indescribably shocked. Even for them, there were some people who couldn't gather enough money to upgrade their precious artifacts. They still needed to accumulate quite a bit.
But what they didn't know was that Leaving Cliff's advancement requirement was twice that of a normal treasure.
Liu Xiangxiu furrowed his brows and waved his hand to retrieve his Prized Artifact. Lightning flames began to interweave around his body, accompanied by strands of hurricanes.
"Wait!" At this moment, Ju Yingshu, who had been silent all this time, shouted, "The Major Examination is just around the corner. It's meaningless to fight to the death. If there's a need to determine a winner, why don't we ask Princess Duan Yang to come up with a question, and you can just compete."
With an indifferent tone, he pointed out the result of the conflict and gave a solution. This was probably amazing.
"Hmph, you actually want me to worry about it? What a bunch of useless things." Ji Wuyi was very unhappy. Frowning, he said, "How about this? Just do as I said just now. Don't get the fish alive and don't take any shortcuts. Within the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. The one who is more clever wins. Let's begin. Who's first? "
"I'll go first!"
Having just lost face, Liu Xiangxiu thought that as the successor of Confucian orthodoxy, he shouldn't and couldn't lose to a mere independent cultivator, so he decided to make the first move to gain the upper hand.
At this time, his Prized Artifact also revealed its shape. It was a square jade seal the size of a bowl.
The aura of this jade seal was somewhat astonishing, not at all weaker than that of Leaving Cliff.
It looked like it was made up of many small squares, and each square was engraved with exquisite runes.
This Prized Artifact was called the True Astral Seal. Like Leaving Cliff, it was a Spirit Grade.
With Yan Li's current attainment, he could barely read three to five of the runes on the True Astral Seal. However, there were dozens of such small squares. Obviously, Liu Xiangxiu's attainment in runes was far above his. It was very likely that Liu Xiangxiu was already at the level of a Master Craftsman.
A Prized Artifact was a very personal item. It was like an exclusive treasure that served only one person. This was because all of its abilities were personally bestowed by the person, and the person knew the limits of what it could do. Normally, unless other people's Prized Artifacts had special effects, even if they were of a higher grade, other than Immortal Artifacts, they might not be any better than one's own Prized Artifact.
Therefore, the runes on Liu Xiangxiu's Prized Artifact must have been personally engraved by him. It was impossible for it to have been done by someone else.
"Indefinite True Astral Seal, Rotation of Five Elements!"
Liu Xiangxiu shouted in a low voice. The True Astral Seal in his hand suddenly glowed with an earthy yellow light. One could feel a ray of earthy yellow divine light entering the bottom of his feet.
After a while, the ground seemed to shake, and ripples appeared in the center of the lake.
One could see the fishes swimming around in a panic due to the inexplicable shaking.
Liu Xiangxiu's eyes were fixed on the bottom of the lake. At that moment, he seemed to have confirmed the location of his target. The shaking stopped immediately, and the color of the True Astral Seal changed into a vibrant green color.
Then, the willow branch behind him began to grow and extended towards the center of the lake.
At the same time, a ring of fire suddenly appeared in the center of the lake. Where the ring of fire was burning, a cylindrical water column was formed. The water column was completely separated from the lake by the ring of fire. A koi fish inside the water column was trembling in fear. It had no idea what was going on.
Although it did not know what was going on, it knew that if it rammed its head into the water column, it would be burned to death. This was the instinct of a living creature.
An inexplicable fear made it not dare to move.
The willow branch reached into the top of the cylinder and wrapped around the fish's body. Then, it retracted back.
Just like that, a live fish was caught by Liu Xiangxiu, unharmed, and was thrown onto the shore.
Liu Xiangxiu let out a soft sigh of relief. He felt satisfied with what he had done.
Everyone clapped their hands. Ju Yingshu said, "Three of the Five Elemental Essences. Not bad."
"Senior Brother Liu, you're amazing!" The Long Liquan said sincerely.
Even Wang Yan, who had always been dismissive of everything, was silent.
Just when Liu Xiangxiu was about to speak, he saw Yu Qiuyu shaking his head. He could not help but frown. "Yu Jianzi, is this not good enough for you?"
Yu Qiuyu turned around and shook his head. "It's not me. It's Yan Li."
Everyone could not help but laugh. Wang Yan sneered. "Does he have a better method?"
Several pairs of eyes turned to look at Yan Li.
"It's your turn. Show us what you got." Liu Xiangxiu said coldly.
Yan Li sighed. He drew a dazzling arc with his sword and sheathed it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without any warning, Liu Xiangxiu swung his sword seven times in a row. Everyone could only see him soaring into the sky like a bird.
Clang!
