An empty field outside the mansion.
Gu Qing Shan and Anna stood a few dozen meters apart from each other, facing each other.
Anna crossed her arms and raised her voice: "How about this, whoever wins gets to teach the other person's cultivation"
"That's fine" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I've never thought about taking you as my disciple" Anna couldn't help but chuckle, "but if I think about it, it's quite interesting"
She unleashed flames from her body and shouted: "Manifest!"
A long-handled black scythe appeared in her hand.
"I'll — –"
While Anna was talking, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
She looked down to see that the sword was resting firmly on her neck, while Gu Qing Shan was standing behind her.
— — almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan had already arrived in front of her and retaliated.
Anna froze.
"No, I was too busy talking just now, let's do it again" she was unconvinced.
"Fine" Gu Qing Shan returned.
The two of them stood still again.
Anna drew her black scythe and created an invisible ripple in the void of space.
Three skeletons covered in pitch-black flames jumped out of the ripples.
Anna was still worried, so she stabbed her scythe into the ground and shouted: "Flame Death God!"
Boom!
The black flames manifested into a giant black skull that enveloped her.
"Come on, I'm serious this time" Anna said.
Gu Qing Shan flew forward, then suddenly turned into a white crescent-moon sword phantom that drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Sha!
The three black skeletons crumbled and disappeared along with the sharp gust of wind.
"Death God! Within the flames, I summon thee — — - "
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Anna clasped her hands together and prayed.
The giant black skull that enveloped her trembled and began to rise.
— — -the terrifying figure was about to appear.
But a sword reached into the black flames from behind Anna and stopped right in front of her heart.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, the victor had been decided.
Anna was stunned.
The black skulls on her body instantly disappeared.
The other three were also dumbfounded.
"How could this be? The famous Inferno Grim Reaper was defeated before he could even unleash his power …" Jang Young-ho mumbled, unable to accept it.
This was Anna! In the entire world, there weren't many people who were stronger than her.
Dark Summoning's peak God's Chosen Skill, combined with the Burning Sun stage's 5 Elemental Fire, Dark and Fire mixed together, giving birth to a terrifying power.
However, in front of Gu Qing Shan, there was no time to use this power.
He won in such a strange way.
"Tsk, this kid is so annoying. It's hard for me to fight with him. I always feel like I have the power, but I can't use it." Ye Fei Li said with a sigh.
This time, Anna was finally convinced.
She was just a little grumpy, but she wasn't really stupid.
If it had been a battle of life and death just now, Gu Qing Shan would have killed her countless times.
Anna retracted the black flames around her body and asked in surprise: "How did you manage to kill 3 of my black flame skeletons so quickly? I didn't even have time to use the skill after that"
Seeing her admit defeat, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed in relief.
Anna is too strong, it's a good thing I have [Ground Shrink] Divine Skill, otherwise if I had to fight her head on, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Swords don't have eyes, so I might've hurt her.
"Because the power I use comes from the world's Origin, while your skeletons are nothing but flames without a source, so it's very easy to extinguish them" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Flames without a source …" Anna caught the main point and asked: "If you say it like that, then what is a flame with a source?"
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on her shoulder and said: "Use that skill again"
Anna did as she was told. Gu Qing Shan took the chance and infused her spirit energy into her body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A total of 5 black flame skeletons appeared from the void of space. They weren't as thin as last time, their bodies and bones were a lot thicker, they were also wearing half-body armor made of black flame, as well as weapons manifested in their hands.
As soon as the black flame skeletons landed, they looked around before gathering in front of Anna.
They were full of spirit, as if they were alive.
"It feels so miraculous, as if there's an endless supply of power for me to use" Anna felt it and commented in surprise.
"Yes, this is spirit energy" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What is spirit energy?"
"It's a certain kind of power — — the power that can support you to unleash your skills" Gu Qing Shan explained, "a Professionist is like a flying shuttle whose engine is constantly being upgraded, but because they don't have the support of a large amount of energy, their fighting strength can't be fully unleashed"
"Let's do it again, this time I'm going to unleash my full spirit energy"
"Alright"
Anna swung her scythe again and slashed through the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan circulated all the spirit energy in her body and infused it.
The void of space rumbled, giving off a resounding sound.
One, two, three …
A total of 30 black flame skeletons appeared on the empty ground.
Such a lineup could easily start a small-scale massacre in a war.
"How is that possible …" Anna exclaimed in shock.
With her original strength, she could only unleash 4 black flame skeletons at full power.
"This is your true strength" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Why is there such a big gap?" Anna asked.
"Because I infused spirit energy into your skills" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Is infusing spirit energy your God's Chosen Skill?"
"No, spirit energy is the most basic Law of this world, the purest form of power in this world, anyone can learn to use it"
Gu Qing Shan continued to explain: "Elemental, God's Chosen, even Martial Thaumaturgy, all of them require spirit energy to unleash their true power"
Anna went silent for a bit, then said: "I've never heard of such a thing before …"
"Spirit energy, have any of you heard of it before?" she looked at the other three.
The other three all shook their heads. Jang Young-ho spoke: "This is also the first time we've heard of it"
Gu Qing Shan spoke: "It's not your fault, after all, the world's understanding of power is too shallow"
Anna asked: "Can I really learn to use spirit energy?"
"Of course, I'll teach you how to sense spirit energy later on" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Then do we still need to be your disciples?" Jang Young-ho cut in.
Gu Qing Shan quickly waved her hand: "No need, I'm not your Shifu, and I won't take you as my disciples"
"Although I can't teach you my own things, I can think of something else to help you learn how to use spirit energy"
"Why can't you take me as a disciple?" Anna was even more interested in this.
"Because I haven't told my Shifu about this yet, so I can't take you as a disciple" Gu Qing Shan answered very seriously.
Taking in disciples is a very serious matter for a sect.
It was a taboo in the cultivation world to take in disciples without permission from the sect and to spread the sect's cultivation method.
Anyone who does this will be severely punished by the sect.
This is a universally acknowledged iron law of the cultivation world.
Although the Hundred Flowers Fairy treats her disciples very well, so even if Gu Qing Shan does something wrong, she probably won't be punished too heavily. But Gu Qing Shan really doesn't want the Hundred Flowers Fairy to be disappointed in her.
"You have a Shifu?" Anna hesitantly asked.
"I do" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Is your Shifu really strong?" Jang Young-ho was intrigued.
"Even if all the strongest Combatants in the world were to gather together, they wouldn't even be enough for her to fight with one hand" Gu Qing Shan praised.
The four of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"You … there's nothing wrong here, is there?" Liao Xing pointed at his head.
"Of course" Gu Qing Shan gave him a sidelong glance.
Ye Fei Li suddenly spoke: "I believe you"
The other three looked at him.
