Nie Xingxian's attack clearly showed that he wanted to use his powerful True Essence to crush Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng simply did not even bother to dodge, not to mention bringing out a defensive magical weapon. The Profound Break Spear also rolled up the imposing aura of true essence, before exploding forward.
Some of the cultivators with high cultivations could see that Ning Cheng wanted to go head to head with Nie Xingxian.
"Boom-Boom-Boom … …" The Buddhist Staff and the Profound Break Spear collided together, causing a terrifying true essence vortex to erupt out. This kind of true essence vortex began to swirl around the battle ring, such that even the cultivators below the battle ring could clearly see it.
Some of the cultivators with not very high cultivations could see that Ning Cheng and Nie Xingxian's True Essence seemed to be on par with each other. Only Nie Xingxian, who was personally involved in the fight, knew that Ning Cheng's True Essence was much more powerful than his own. Ning Cheng's Profound Break Spear was only a medium grade Spiritual Artefact. Moreover, he could feel that Ning Cheng had wrapped the Profound Break Spear with a layer of True Essence, as if he was afraid that the spear would be damaged. Even so, he did not gain the slightest advantage.
Nie Xingxian suddenly waved the Buddhist staff in his hand, and instantly pulled it out from the terrifying vortex of true essence. At the same time, more than a dozen staff shadows appeared, and these staff shadows actually formed a rudimentary Confinement Array.
Ning Cheng simply stopped and continued with his actions. With his ability, he could instantly prevent Nie Xingxian's Staff Shadow Array Formation from forming. However, he really wanted to see what was so special about the staff shadow array formed by the monk.
The magic skills of some large sects were very powerful. It was always a good thing to know more. Today it was Nie Xingxian who had used the Staff Shadow Array Formation on him, if in the future it was replaced by a Soul Essence Cultivator, or even a Soul Sculpting Cultivator, then it would not be easy for him to deal with them.
"Brother Ning, why don't you make a move?" Seeing Ning Cheng holding the Profound Break Spear, and quietly waiting for his own staff shadow array formation to take shape, while Nie Xingxian's staff shadow gradually dissipated, he also stopped and asked in doubt.
Ning Cheng really did not know whether this Nie Xingxian was really honest or really cunning, as he spoke up in a speechless manner, "I'm waiting for you to start, you don't have to worry about me, just start."
"Alright." Nie Xingxian replied with a single word, and then suddenly added another sentence, "Brother Ning, just a moment ago, how much of your strength did you use?"
"20%." Ning Cheng spoke with a smile, he was sure that this monk would never believe his words.
"20% of his True Essence, unexpectedly made me unable to advance even an inch, so powerful … …" Nie Xingxian muttered to himself, unexpectedly believing Ning Cheng's words.
After Nie Xingxian finished talking to himself, he put away his Buddhist Staff and said, "I am not an opponent for Brother Ning, many thanks for Brother Ning's mercy."
"You believe me?" Ning Cheng looked at Nie Xingxian and asked in a somewhat puzzled manner. In his opinion, Nie Xingxian had a simple face but was actually a treacherous one, so how could he believe his words?
Nie Xingxian quickened his pace as he walked down the Battle Ring, while simultaneously speaking, "Brother Ning's words, this little monk naturally believes them."
As Nie Xingxian walked down the battle arena, many of the spectating cultivators failed to react. Originally they were looking forward to a showdown between a dragon and a tiger, but Nie Xingxian, who was ranked first in the preliminary round, had only exchanged a single move with Ning Cheng, before taking the initiative to admit defeat and step down from the stage. Or rather, he was scared away by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng held onto his Profound Break Spear in a somewhat depressed manner, as he stood in the middle of the battle ring. He knew that there would not be anyone else coming up to the stage for a short period of time. But he definitely wouldn't go down. Since he wanted something good, he had to persevere.
After Nie Xingxian went down, sure enough, no one came up. Although there were still many cultivators in the preliminary round who had yet to fight, but no one came up.
When a person's cultivation was far more powerful than those in the same realm, moreover this person did not care about the tacit understanding between the academies, the loopholes in the rules of the finals could be seen at a glance.
Despite the heckling of the spectating cultivators under the battle ring, no one was willing to come up to the battle ring and fight against Ning Cheng.
No one was willing to witness the bloody battle in the finals, as such no cultivator would feel comfortable.
"Headmaster, why don't we let Liang Shi come up to the stage and call Ning Cheng down?" A Crucible Transformation Elder from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect really could not stand it anymore.
Rui Baishan shook his head and spoke, "Let him be, Ning Cheng already knows the rules, yet he still chose to stay up there and not come down, presumably he has his own ideas. Elder Bei, you come with me. "
Elder Bei was also very worried about Ning Cheng, now that the Headmaster had called for him, he immediately followed Rui Baishan to a private room.
"Elder Bei, you have the most contact with Ning Cheng, how much do you know about Ning Cheng? Speak it out. "Rui Baishan went straight to the point.
Elder Bei hesitated for a moment, before he shook his head and spoke, "I don't know much about Ning Cheng, I only know a bit about him from Ning Cheng's friend, the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect's True Inheriting Disciple Liang Kexin. Later on, I also went to investigate some of the circumstances, and came to the conclusion that Ning Cheng had gone to the Mirage Gazing Island, if I did not guess wrong, then Ning Cheng should have gone to the Mirage Ship Island. His Nine-Coloured Mirage Stone should be something that he obtained from the Mirage Ship Island. "
"On the Mirage Ship Island, to be able to find the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, it would definitely require a huge amount of luck. Since Ning Cheng was able to obtain a Nine-Coloured Mirage Stone, then it shows that he might have the remaining eight Nine-Coloured Mirage Stones. "Rui Baishan nodded.
"Headmaster ….." Elder Bei looked at the Headmaster in surprise.
Rui Baishan waved his hand and spoke, "Elder Bei, you don't have to worry about it, even if each of the Nine-Coloured Mirage Stones is a priceless treasure, I will not covet the things of a disciple. Since Ning Cheng obtained so much at once, then presumably he would have his own ideas. If I have not guessed wrong, then after this tournament, Ning Cheng would definitely choose to flee to a faraway place. It is precisely because he has already made up his mind, that he would definitely stand on the battle platform, and force out the prizes. "
"Headmaster, why don't I go and persuade Ning Cheng, to let him come down, and then go back to the academy to go into seclusion." Elder Bei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Rui Baishan shook his head slightly, "If Ning Cheng only obtained a Nine-Coloured Mirage Stone, then your method would be quite good. However, if Ning Cheng obtained the nine Mirage Stones, then even if Ning Cheng went into seclusion, there would still be countless people who would come looking for the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. Although my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect is not afraid of anyone's threats, but it is simply impossible for us to fight against so many academies. Ning Cheng choosing to leave the academy is the right choice. "
"I'm afraid that Ning Cheng would bring endless disasters to the academy … …" Elder Bei spoke in a worried voice.
Rui Baishan stood up, as he gave a calm smile and spoke, "My Rainbow Fall Sword Sect has been established for countless years, what kind of wind and rain we have gone through, why would we be afraid of some thieves?"
Saying that, Rui Baishan took out a jade box and handed it to Elder Bei and spoke, "There is an Escape Talisman in here, after Ning Cheng comes down from the battle ring, you can help me give it to him. I can only help him with this much. "
"Do you want to tell Ning Cheng, to let him leave as soon as possible?" Elder Bei put away the jade box and asked.
Rui Baishan gave a faint smile and spoke, "He will know when to leave."
… …
Ning Cheng had already stood on the battle ring for a full hour, but there was still no one who came up to challenge him. At this time Ning Cheng even took out a chair and sat down in the middle of the battle ring. The finals of the Profound Core Realm had already reached this point, it was no longer wonderful, but rather a farce.
No matter where it was, at this moment, there was a lot of noise, as people were talking about it.
At this time, a black bearded old man flew up and landed on the battle ring.
Ning Cheng on seeing this, quickly put away his chair, these past few days he had seen a lot of experts. This old man was giving off a powerful aura, allowing Ning Cheng to immediately understand that this person was a powerhouse not inferior to Xiao Bisheng, this kind of powerhouse could turn him into ashes in a matter of seconds.
"Ning Cheng greets senior." Ning Cheng quickly gave a respectful bow to the old man.
The black bearded old man looked at Ning Cheng and gave a meaningful smile, then nodded, before turning to the quiet crowd under the stage and spoke, "I am the Heaven Alliance's Dao Master Mu Ziming, and am also one of the judges for this Tian Continent's Great Meet of the Academies. From this Profound Core Realm Tournament, it can be seen that there are some loopholes in the rules of the Tian Continent's Great Meet of the Academies. After this Great Meet, we will have to re-formulate the rules of the Great Meet of the Academies … … "
The people under the stage immediately burst into a sensation, even if there was no wonderful match, this matter was already wonderful enough. Unexpectedly, because of the strength of a Profound Core Cultivator, the rules of the Tian Continent's Great Meet of the Academies had to be changed.
Mu Ziming used his hand to suppress the noise, and continued, "Now I announce that for this Tian Continent's Great Meet of the Academies, Ning Cheng is the first in the Profound Core Realm, are there any cultivators who have any objections? If there are any objections then come up to the stage, if there are no objections, then it is decided. "
Ning Cheng being the first, there was no one who had any objections. Ning Cheng had defeated several powerful experts, and looked very relaxed, as if he did not even put his life on the line, who would be willing to fight against such a person?
Everyone knew that this Tian Continent's Great Meet of the Academies would set a record that no one would be able to break. If the rules of the tournament were changed because of a single cultivator, then there was a possibility that it would be broken. However, the Great Meet had only gone through less than half of the tournament, and yet the first place had already been decided. Moreover, no one had any objections to this first place, which was absolutely unprecedented in history, and most likely would not be broken by any of the later generations.
The public square that had just quietened down, once again became noisy because of this matter.
"Although we have decided on the first place, but the following matches still have to be carried out, and we still have to compete for the other rankings." Mu Ziming's voice suppressed the noise of the entire public square, saying that he turned around and looked at Ning Cheng with a smile, "What do you think?"
Ning Cheng quickly bowed once again and spoke, "Dao Master's decision, Ning Cheng naturally has no objections, it's just that I originally wanted a bottle of Essence Birthing Bamboo Pith … …"
"It doesn't matter, just tell me what you need." Mu Ziming gave a simple reply.
Ning Cheng also no longer remained polite, "Senior, this junior only wants a top-quality Soul Condensing Pill, plus a bottle of Essence Birthing Bamboo Pith, I do not want anything else."
Although Ning Cheng knew that in front of a Dao Master, it was very dangerous for him to speak at this moment, but in order to escape in the future, he had no choice but to do so.
"Just these two?" Mu Ziming asked with some doubts. He had thought that Ning Cheng would definitely be asking for an exorbitant price. Although Ning Cheng's request for the Essence Birthing Bamboo Pith was also like an exorbitant price, but it was much better than what he had expected, which gave him a good impression in his heart.
"Just these two." Ning Cheng spoke with certainty.
Mu Ziming nodded, "I'll give you these two."
Saying that, Mu Ziming took out two jade bottles and threw them to Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to receive them and put them away, "Many thanks, Senior. In the future, if this junior has the ability, then I will definitely repay today's kindness."
Ning Cheng was not a fool, he was able to understand the meaning behind Mu Ziming's words. These two things were not provided by the Le Continent's Great Meet, but rather were provided by Mu Ziming himself. Besides, even if it was provided by the Great Meet, they would not give out the prizes at this time.
"You can go down now, take care of yourself."
"Yes."
After Ning Cheng cupped his fists, he quickly withdrew from the battle platform.
Ning Cheng had changed the rules of the Great Meet for many years, and even let a Dao Master personally come up to the stage to invite him down, it was enough to cause a sensation throughout the Tian Continent.
Because of Ning Cheng's departure, the Profound Core Division's battle platform once again started to fight. The Tian Continent's top ten academies also meant a lot of resources, as such no one was willing to fall behind. Moreover, as the competition continued, it was also getting more and more exciting.
… …
Ning Cheng immediately prepared to leave after coming down from the battle platform. As for whether Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei would leave with him, he simply did not care.
