Buzz! A gust of air suddenly appeared at the tip of the black spear. It was a distortion of the air caused by the spear tip's high-speed vibration.
With a sharp sound, the sharp tip of the spear pierced through the air. With an unimaginable speed and power, it pierced towards Chen Chang Sheng who was on the stone steps.
Worthy of his reputation for being sinister and fierce, Mu Laoban's spear had come without warning, extremely bizarre.
Just because it was strange didn't mean it lacked power. Countless flower petals rose from the ground and followed the iron spear up the stone steps. There were pink and white flower petals everywhere in front of the Tradition Academy, blocking Chen Chang Sheng's vision and also the vision of many people.
They only knew that the short spear was behind the sea of flowers.
The dancing petals were rapidly turning black, a sign that the spear tip had been infected by the poison.
In an instant, this so-called martial arts challenge became extremely dangerous, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The rain of flowers filled the sky as the iron spear pierced through the air. It looked like a mottled snake that had emerged from the sea of flowers.
However, no matter how strange the trajectory of this short spear was, it couldn't break through Chen Chang Sheng's sword.
Because this was the Stupid Sword that not even Su Li had been able to master.
It was the number one defensive sword technique in the world that could only be practiced by those who were not good with the sword.
Dang!
In reality, the sharp tip of the spear, which was soaked in terrifying poison, had already clashed with Chen Chang Sheng's sword countless times.
Back in Xunyang City, not even Painted Armor Xiao Zhang's spear had been able to surpass this sword, much less this spear.
But the tip of this broken spear was contaminated with a terrifying poison. Would this poison be transmitted to Chen Chang Sheng's body through the sword?
This was what Mu Laoban thought. Over the years, the reason he had been able to defeat many opponents who were not weaker than him was precisely because as the battle went on, the cold poison in his spear would rise with the wind. It would move as it pleased, noiselessly destroying his opponent's weapon. Then, through the weapon or even through the air, it would invade their lungs and meridians, ultimately rendering them powerless to continue fighting.
None of this would happen today.
Chen Chang Sheng's seemingly ordinary but somewhat bright sword contained an unimaginable amount of dragon's might and energy, how could it be damaged by a mortal's poison?
There was naturally a reason why the sword was named Stainless.
If there was no problem with the sword, then there would be no problem with the person, because the person was pure as well.
Chen Chang Sheng was good at medicine. After receiving the information from the Education Board yesterday, he made the necessary preparations. Even if he hadn't taken the medicine in advance, the cold poison on the spear wouldn't have been able to harm him in the slightest. This was because the soul of a Black Frost Dragon had once resided in his body, and he had once bathed in the true blood of that Black Frost Dragon. The strength of his body far surpassed that of a perfect Purification. From a certain perspective, rather than saying that his body was as powerful as a human's, it would be better to say that it was more like a true dragon's …
Other than a poison on the level of Nanke's Peacock Plume, how could this so-called poison from the southern mountains do anything to him?
As the petal rain fell, the spear and sword separated, revealing Mu Laoban's shocked and bewildered eyes.
Chen Chang Sheng used his Discerning Steps, transforming into a blur and arriving before him.
Mu Laoban roared and retreated. At the same time, his black spear crushed apart countless petals, creating a barrier of pink, white, and black.
This was his Star Domain.
After his battle with Zhou Ziheng, the entire continent knew that Chen Chang Sheng had the ability to surpass cultivation levels and challenge Star Condensation cultivators. Mu Laoban did not dare to be careless, and it was clear that he had learned the lesson from Zhou Ziheng's battle. His retreat was firm and decisive. More importantly, he had used his Star Domain extremely early and extremely quickly. Before Chen Chang Sheng had even attacked, it had already enveloped his entire body.
He was the same as many people, still firmly believing that the iron law of the cultivation world was an iron law. On that day, Chen Chang Sheng had been able to destroy Zhou Ziheng's Star Domain with a single strike because Zhou Ziheng's mind was in chaos, or because Chen Chang Sheng's sword was too sharp, or because his luck was too good. He believed that his Star Domain was stronger and more solid than Zhou Ziheng's. Most importantly, he believed that in a situation where he was prepared, his mind would definitely not be in chaos. As a result, he did not believe that Chen Chang Sheng would be able to so easily destroy his Star Domain today. However, how could he and those people who clung to the so-called iron law and were unwilling to let go understand the profound and profound thoughts that a genius like Su Li could not comprehend? How could they know just what the so-called Intellectual Sword was?
The Intellectual Sword was truly not a sword style, but a method of battle.
When the petals on the ground in front of the Orthodox Academy poured into the sky like a waterfall, when that metal spear treacherously pierced through the rain of petals, when Chen Chang Sheng held his sword horizontally in front of him …
He had already used his Intellectual Sword.
This sword had originated from last night's calculations, and now it fell amidst the rain of petals.
A ray of light appeared in front of the Orthodox Academy, like a bolt of lightning.
The Stainless Sword seemed to pierce into the sky above the rain of petals, but in the end, it only pierced through a soft petal.
But behind that soft petal, about the size of a fingernail, was Mu Laoban's eyes.
Just like this, Chen Chang Sheng had easily found a hole in his Star Domain.
Chen Chang Sheng had used the most ordinary True Sword of the Orthodoxy, but at this moment, it was the most suitable method.
The dagger pierced through the petals, piercing towards Mu Laoban's eyes.
His eyes revealed an expression of shock, but he did not notice that there seemed to be some other emotion in the deepest depths of his eyes.
He fiercely howled.
With a squelch, the Dragoncry Sword stabbed into his chest.
But unlike when he had battled Zhou Ziheng, the peerlessly sharp Dragoncry Sword had actually failed to pierce through his body. Instead, it had been blocked by something!
Sensing the strangeness from the tip of the sword, Chen Chang Sheng's pupils constricted.
Mu Laoban's clothes concealed a flexible armor.
The problem was, what flexible armor in the world could block his sword?
He was still too inexperienced. If it were Tang Thirty-Six, he would have already guessed that the flexible armor hidden in Mu Laoban's clothes was one of the treasures that guarded the Tianhai clan, the Six Protections Divine Armor!
The Six Protections Divine Armor was a divine artifact ranked seventy-ninth on the Tier of Legendary Weapons. It was said that it had once belonged to the Tianliang Wang clan, and was later conscripted into the palace by Emperor Taizu. Later on, Emperor Xian was worried that the Tianhai Empress would be ambushed by an enemy in the Hundred Herb Garden, so he gave it to her to protect herself. When the Empress reached the Saint Realm, she no longer needed any defense, so she gave it to her father, who had yet to return to the sea of stars. From then on, the Six Protections Divine Armor had always been stored in the Tianhai Prefecture. It was probably currently being worn by Mu Laoban.
It had to be said that the Tianhai clan had truly invested a great deal this time. It was no wonder that even when Tang Thirty-Six had taken out such a thick stack of silver notes, it had still not moved the greedy Mu Laoban.
It truly deserved to be called a divine artifact on the Tier of Legendary Weapons. The Dragoncry Sword was actually unable to pierce through it in one blow, and Chen Chang Sheng's sword technique was forced to stop midway.
The fear in Mu Laoban's eyes instantly transformed into a berserk killing intent.
With a howl, his short spear fiercely pierced towards Chen Chang Sheng's throat.
Even more frightening was that his spear energy continued to explode, reconstructing the Star Domain in an extremely short amount of time, trapping Chen Chang Sheng within.
Logically speaking, the most important method of a Star Condensation expert was their Star Domain. They would never allow their opponent to enter their Star Domain, but the current situation was very special. Yes, he had to admit that the iron laws of the cultivation world had already lost their effectiveness before Chen Chang Sheng's sword. Then he might as well use his Star Domain to trap Chen Chang Sheng and then face him head-on!
The people that had come to challenge the Orthodox Academy in the past few days had all studied Chen Chang Sheng very deeply, especially his first battle with Zhou Ziheng. Everyone could see that the sword intent he had inherited from Su Li was incomparably exquisite, and his sword style was as vast and complex as the sea. Although his Yeshi Step was incomplete, it was enough to help him move as fast as lightning. However, Chen Chang Sheng had a great weakness.
He had not yet reached sixteen, was still a youth. He had determined his Fated Star, and it had only been a year since he had begun cultivating. Even if he was the reincarnation of Zhou Dufu, the amount of true essence in his body could not compare to those experts that had cultivated for decades or even centuries.
And this was when people did not know that his meridians also had problems, that the efficiency of his true essence output was abysmal.
In short, Chen Chang Sheng's greatest weakness was the amount of true essence he had.
However, Mu Laoban did not know one thing, and at the same time, he did not remember a few things.
In Xunyang City, Liang Wangsun had once used a similar method to deal with Chen Chang Sheng. If Chen Chang Sheng's true essence really was so weak, how could he have withstood Gou Hanshi's storm-like attacks in the Grand Examination, and how could he have broken through Liang Wangsun's broken Star Domain in Xunyang City? If not even Liang Wangsun's Star Domain could hold him down, who under Star Condensation could?
Under the awning, many people believed that Chen Chang Sheng might lose this battle and began to stand up in shock.
But the people in the tea house and in the quiet carriages at the end of the street did not think this way. They knew, and would never forget, what Chen Chang Sheng had done in Xunyang City. They were keenly aware that Chen Chang Sheng had the ability to escape, and this battle was still far from over. Victory and defeat had still not been decided.
Yet what happened next was something that not even they could have imagined.
Chen Chang Sheng did not choose to use the Intellectual Sword again and break through Mu Laoban's Star Domain. He first retreated and then made plans.
His Stainless Sword continued to stab into Mu Laoban's chest, and then he continued forward.
It was like he had never even thought about escaping, not caring that Mu Laoban was wearing the Six Protections Divine Armor of the Tier of Legendary Weapons. He only thought about victory.
A clear yell!
A blazing Qi suddenly appeared in front of the Orthodox Academy. The cold and sinister Qi that Mu Laoban brought with him was like ice and snow encountering the blazing sun, instantly vanishing without a trace.
The petals that filled the sky actually began to burn, transforming into a dazzling expanse of light.
Mu Laoban's face paled in the light. As he was in the middle of the field, he could feel it the clearest. That fierce and blazing Qi … Chen Chang Sheng's true essence had become incomparably majestic!
His true essence was lacking … so it was all a facade!
His expression suddenly changed and he was truly terrified. With a roar, he no longer cared about his spear and desperately retreated.
But how could Chen Chang Sheng give him this chance? The Stainless Sword in his hand stabbed straight into Mu Laoban's chest! Pierced through!
The fierce sword intent directly destroyed all of Mu Laoban's will to fight. The terrifying strength sent him flying from the sharp dagger.
A thunderous boom resounded in front of the Orthodox Academy's gate.
Mu Laoban transformed into a black shadow and flew back several dozen zhang.
In front of the awning on the street was an array that acted as a barrier.
He heavily collided against it, then slumped to the ground, no longer able to get up.
A faint blue glow appeared in the air in front of the awning, and one could faintly hear an extremely low tearing sound. Dust rustled down from the beams of the awning, sprinkling the heads and faces of many people within.
Mu Laoban sat paralyzed on the ground, constantly vomiting blood, his eyes filled with extreme shock and fear.
Just what was going on here? How could Chen Chang Sheng's true essence become so berserk and powerful in such a short amount of time?
The people under the awning were similarly shocked to the extreme. They couldn't even care about the dust that had fallen on their bodies, staring at Chen Chang Sheng in shock.
This strike of his had actually almost destroyed the barrier array on the street!
