As soon as he said this, the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple was in an uproar, everyone was whispering and discussing.
Qi Feng and the other two Spirit Nurturing Qi Practitioners were even more shocked. Qi Feng was disappointed and he shouted, "Elder Feng, are you not going to try? If I am willing to fight, I might not be weaker than my opponent! "
The elder priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple smiled and said, "Brother Shouzhu, this little friend is right. Who knows who will win if we don't fight? Who knows, your Swords Gate Qi Practitioners might be able to defeat our Xiao Mang Celestial Race in the level of Spirit Nurturing. "
Feng Shouzhu shook his head and said softly, "It is important to know one's own limits. Qi Feng and the other two are considered to be above average in the Swords Gate. They are more than enough to deal with the ordinary Spirit Nurturing Qi Practitioners, but not the celestial Qi Practitioners. There will be casualties if we fight, we might as well give up. "
There were quite a number of celestial Qi Practitioners that came to watch the battle, they were all scornful and said, "Giving up before the battle, no wonder the humans are the lowest race."
Qi Feng and the other two blushed and clenched their fists tightly. Tian Yanzhong glanced at them and said, "Don't worry about it. Victory and defeat are commonplace, just train hard and surpass the Xiao Mang Celestial Race in the future. "
Zuo Xiangsheng nodded and said, "The first battle is a battle of morale, there is no room for mistakes. Hence, as long as we fight, we must win! The Xiao Mang Celestial Race also places great importance on this first battle, hence, the Spirit Nurturing Qi Practitioners they sent out must be very strong, they must have cultivated the level of Spirit Nurturing to the extreme! Elder Feng gave up in the first battle so that he could win the first battle for sure! This battle concerned the morale of the soldiers, they could only win and not lose. Only Zhong Yue could guarantee victory! Thus, we can only leave the first battle for the second round! "
Qi Feng and the other two nodded, but they were still feeling uneasy.
The white-robed priest startled, he recalled Xiao Shan and said solemnly, "The second round, the terrain of the forest, Rebirth level Qi Practitioners. Qi Practitioners from both sides, please enter the secret realm, you have fifteen minutes to familiarize yourselves with the terrain. "
"Xiao Chuwen, do you have the confidence to defeat Zhong Yue?" The elder priest looked at Xiao Chuwen and asked.
Xiao Chuwen bowed, rays flashed in his eyes and he said, "I will study what he has learned, I do not wish to win, I only wish to not lose. I have the confidence to win!"
"Alright!"
The elder priest showed a look of approval and said, "As expected of my disciple, go."
Xiao Chuwen stood up, he flew into the air like a bird flying into the woods and entered the secret realm.
Feng Shouzhu hesitated for a second, and he looked at Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er. He was a little hesitant; without his protection, Zhong Yue wouldn't be able to reverse open the Dao Yi level, and without the Awakening level, he would definitely win the battle.
But if he was chosen to fight, then he would definitely lose the third round, and if he lost three out of five rounds, then Swords Gate would have to give up their territory to Zhong Yue!
However, if Zhong Yue was not chosen, Qiu Jin'er might not have the confidence to defeat Xiao Chuwen. After all, Xiao Chuwen was the direct disciple of the high priest!
If Qiu Jin'er also lost, then only Zuo Xiangsheng would be able to defeat his opponent. Losing four out of five, it was a terrible loss!
Qiu Jin'er is the headmaster's disciple while Xiao Chuwen is the elder priest's disciple. This is a battle between the two of them, it is hard to predict who will win ….
He gritted his teeth fiercely. "I'm going to lose either way. I don't care anymore. I'll take a gamble!"
"Qiu Jin'er, you will fight in the second round!" Feng Shouzhu stood up and shouted.
The crowd burst into an uproar at his words. Many of the higher-ups of the God Race looked at Feng Shouzhu in disbelief. They had long heard of how Zhong Yue killed two celestial disciples in just two moves when he first arrived at the celestial temple. He was publicly acknowledged as the Rebirth level Swords Gate's Rebirth Qi Practitioner!
Not only that, but Zhong Yue's name had also spread out among the celestial race. He was hailed as the prodigy who had cultivated to the peak of the Rebirth level. Because of the word 'Yue' in their names, they and Long Yue of the East Barren were known as the 'Rebirth level Twin Yue'!
In other words, Zhong Yue and Long Yue were two insurmountable mountains in the level of Rebirth!
He did not expect Feng Shouzhu to choose another female disciple who was sitting in a wheelchair to fight instead of him. It was truly unexpected.
Although Qiu Jin'er was an Innate Wood Spirit Body, she was still in a wheelchair, and it would be difficult for her to move freely. If she were to fight, the victory that was originally in the bag would have many variables added to it.
"Brother Shouzhu, I am surprised that you chose the Innate Wood Spirit Body instead of Zhong Yue."
The high priest was puzzled, and he said, "Zhong Yue has a high chance of winning, but the Innate Wood Spirit Body has a low chance of winning. Why did Brother Shouzhu make such a decision? What are you planning? Can you answer me? "
Feng Shouzhu's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to call Qiu Jin'er back and replace her with Zhong Yue. However, he was hesitant and didn't answer.
Qiu Jin'er was also a little nervous. She didn't fight many people, and it was her first time witnessing such a grand battle. Furthermore, it was a battle that she couldn't afford to lose!
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Junior martial sister, don't be afraid. Have you cultivated the 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 that I taught you?"
Qiu Jin'er nodded softly. Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes, and he said softly, "Xiao Chuwen has studied my battles, but not yours. You have a high chance of winning this battle! Junior martial sister, let them be shocked! "
"Alright, I will let them be shocked!"
Qiu Jin'er calmed down a little, and she took in a deep breath. The wooden wheelchair slowly rose into the air and flew toward the secret realm.
Zhong Yue and the others stood on the high ground, and they could easily see the scene in the secret realm. The inside of the secret realm was a few times bigger than the outside. It was more than a hundred miles wide, and it was more than enough for the Qi Practitioners to fight to their heart's content!
Right now, the secret realm had changed from a desert to a forest. The mountains were undulating, some were steep like they were cut by a saber, some were long like a sleeping dragon, some were lonely like pillars, and some were broken like a seal. The forest was everywhere, and it felt like it was real.
This was the beauty of the Wan Xiang Secret Realm. The Wan Xiang Secret Realm could change its form at will.
Qiu Jin'er sat on the wheelchair and flew slowly, observing the terrain. She flew in the air and paid attention to the wind. She landed on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil, and flew to the front of the mountains to check the hardness of the rocks.
Her opponent, Xiao Chuwen, saw this, and his heart skipped a beat, This young lady looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old. How can she be so experienced?
The battles between Qi Practitioners were different from the battles between the mortals. In a battle between the mortals and the monster beasts, they could just fight. But the battles between Qi Practitioners were sometimes on the ground, sometimes underground, sometimes in the air, and sometimes in the water. The terrain had a great influence on the battles. Furthermore, one would need to know the direction of the wind when flying in the air, and one would need to know the soil when fighting underground.
If it was a close-range battle, one would need to know the hardness of the rocks. If one was forced to the edge of the cliff, one would need to break through the cliff to evade the attacks!
Qiu Jin'er's performance did not seem like that of a naive little girl. Instead, she was more like a seasoned warrior that had been through hundreds of battles. Xiao Chuwen couldn't help but be alarmed!
But little did he know that Qiu Jin'er's performance was not because she was a seasoned fighter. Instead, it was because Zhong Yue had taught her some things to pay attention to in battles.
Zhong Yue was once hunted by the monster race for a few tens of thousands of miles. He was very experienced in this aspect, and Qiu Jin'er had learned from him. She was also a smart girl, so she was very meticulous.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the white-robed priest gave the order. The battle had begun!
As soon as the white-robed priest gave the order, Xiao Chuwen had already strode out toward Xiao Chuqing. His prowess was on par with 'Long Yue' when he was fleeing for his life. Among the Rebirth Qi Practitioners, he was one of those who had cultivated to the pinnacle. His speed was so fast that he could cover a distance of a few thousand feet in the blink of an eye!
Just as he strode out, a huge vine suddenly grew under Qiu Jin'er's wooden wheelchair, and the huge leaves lifted the wooden wheelchair up.
Hu — —
The vine grew at an incredible speed, and the thick vines wriggled in the air like an azure dragon, lifting Qiu Jin'er up to evade Xiao Chuwen's attacks.
Xiao Chuwen's speed was incredible, and as soon as Qiu Jin'er evaded his attacks, he immediately changed his direction and charged toward her again. His body shook, and he turned into his Pan Ao form. His three mouths roared at the same time, shaking the heaven and earth, causing Qiu Jin'er's face to turn pale.
"[Earth Star Quake]!"
Behind him, the Pan Ji Yuan Shen emerged, and a Pan Ao head roared. The earth quaked violently, and stone pillars shot out from the ground toward Qiu Jin'er!
"[Heavenly Star Quake]!"
The second head of the Pan Ji Yuan Shen roared, and his psyche turned into stars that rained down from the sky toward Qiu Jin'er!
"[Boundless Beasts]!"
The third head of the Pan Ji Yuan Shen roared, and his psyche turned into Jiao Dragons, hungry tigers, mountain elves, flying foxes, owls, and many other ferocious beasts that dashed toward Qiu Jin'er!
His Yuan Shen cast three different skills at the same time, and all of them attacked Qiu Jin'er at the same time.
Ordinary Qi Practitioners would only cast one skill when they attacked, because they couldn't split their attention into two when they were visualizing one skill at the same time. Those who could do two things at the same time were all Qi Practitioners with strong psyche and had undergone special training.
However, Xiao Chuwen was able to cast three skills at the same time, which meant that he wasn't just doing three things at the same time. His Pan Ji Yuan Shen was very unique, and each head was responsible for one of the skills. In other words, when others visualized one skill, he could already cast three different skills!
This was the strength of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Their visualization speed was three times faster than the other races, and they were also a celestial race. Their mortal bodies were incredibly strong, and their psyche cultivation base was also incredibly strong!
The vine carried Qiu Jin'er and danced in the air, dodging the attacks. The vine grew at an incredible speed, and in just a blink of an eye, huge flowers grew out of the vine. The pistils shot out like Sword Qi, slashing the Jiao Dragons, hungry tigers, mountain elves, and flying foxes into pieces.
The leaves of the vine fluttered in the air, and blades the size of mats danced in the air, blocking the falling meteors from the sky.
Vines that were as huge as a dragon's body blocked the sky above the valley, trying their best to block the stone awls that shot out from the ground.
Pa, pa, pa — The green bean pods hanging on the vines suddenly exploded, and the green beans fell from the sky. In just a blink of an eye, countless green beans fell from the sky.
"What is she doing?" Outside of the secret realm, the Qi Practitioners in the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple looked over in confusion.
"She is planting swords."
Rays flashed in the eyes of the priest from the Shan Shen Celestial Race, and he said, "The spirit of the Innate Wood Spirit Body is the spirit of the wood, and she is an expert in manipulating the Wood Qi. Brother Shouzhu has made a good move, Xiao Chuwen obviously hasn't studied how to deal with the Innate Wood Spirit Body, he doesn't know the true strength of the Innate Wood Spirit Body. Besides, the 【Sword Seeding Art】 is the ultimate art of that old bastard from Swords Gate …. "
