Chapter 63 - 63: A Spell of Truth
Faced with Youngest Uncle Fu Yunzi’s questioning gaze, Daoist Master of Cloud Sect felt ashamed. “Please rest assured, Youngest Uncle. After the Martial Competition ends, 1 will definitely reorganize the sect.”
Fu Yunzi didn’t say anything. He just turned around indifferently.
The contestants below the stage had already been shocked beyond words by Cheng Xu.
One had to know that Cheng Xu had never used the moves of the Medicine Celestial Valley until now. Just relying on a few moves of the Cloud Sect, he had achieved a total of five victories. One could imagine how valuable it was.
Cheng Xu, who had returned to the waiting area, became the center of attention. Even Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, and the other three had listed Cheng Xu as their opponent.
The first round of the competition was coming to an end, and the elites of the various sects had all advanced.
On the Medicine Celestial Valley side, Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and Jian Yuxiang naturally advanced steadily. Miao Changsheng won the last round with difficulty and barely advanced with a record of three wins out of five.
Miao Changsheng was satisfied with the result.
But Cheng Xu and the other two obviously wouldn’t stop there.
After a short break, Fu Yunzi and the leaders of the sects sorted out the list of people who had advanced to the second round. A total of 47 people from the five sects had advanced to the second round. The Cloud Sect had the most people, followed by the Scorching Sun Sect.
Although only four people from the Medicine Celestial Valley had advanced, compared to the previous results, it was already unprecedented.
After the big shots on the stage gave their generous speeches, the second round of the competition began.
Similar to the Medicine Celestial Valley’s previous test, the second round of the competition used the arena system.
There were a total of twelve rings on the field, but there were no clear numbers. The contestants who stood on the twelve rings in the end advanced to the third round.
After Fu Yunzi announced the start of the competition, the disciples of the various sects were still polite and modest.
Cheng Xu was rather speechless. Seeing that no one was going up the stage after a long time, he decisively flew into the arena and occupied one of the arenas amidst the uproar. “Don’t stand on ceremony. Isn’t it boring to decline?”
The crowd on and off the stage was stunned. They obviously did not expect Cheng Xu to be the first to go onstage.
One had to know that this was a group arena. The earlier one went on stage, the more losses they would suffer.
Even if Cheng Xu had performed well before, he shouldn’t be so arrogant, right?
“Hiss, Cheng Xu is a little arrogant, isn’t he?” Huyan Lie teased as he looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao.
Dan Yang and Chi Yao smiled without saying a word, as if they were very confident in Cheng Xu.
Everyone was curious.
At the same time, following Cheng Xu’s lead, the contestants from the various sects no longer stood on ceremony. Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, Xue Lingyu, and the others went up on stage one after another, each occupying a seat in the arena.
In just a short while, the twelve arenas were filled.
“Brother Cheng, how have you been?” Wang Xiaolun stood proudly in the ring next door and winked at Cheng Xu. “1 knew you would definitely enter the third round.”
Cheng Xu smiled but didn’t say anything.
After the arena was occupied, the players who went on stage later had to attack the arena.
Anyone with a brain would definitely not choose those four mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. In the remaining eight arenas, they were all like Wang Xiaolun, the second and third of the various sects.
In comparison, Cheng Xu had become the softest persimmon among them. Many players were eager to try and snatch Cheng Xu’s arena.
However, there were also some people who knew Cheng Xu’s strength and did not dare to choose him.
As a result, Cheng Xu quickly welcomed his first challenger.
“Wang Tianheng of the Mystic Arts Sect, please guide me!”
Because of Cheng Xu’s previous mockery, the Mystic Arts Sect disciples were filled with resentment towards him and wanted to dampen his spirit.
Seeing Wang Tianheng step forward to challenge Cheng Xu, Wang Xiaolun, who was in the next ring, could not help but blurt out, “Brother Cheng, it’s not that 1 want to criticize you, but if you had shown more strength in the last round, you wouldn’t have been treated as a pushover. Listen to me, it’s time to show your fangs!”
Cheng Xu looked at Wang Xiaolun teasingly. “Brother Wang, you should worry about yourself.”
“Don’t worry, not many people dare to challenge me. Uh…”
Wang Xiaolun was stunned on the spot.
Jian Yuxiang looked around and slowly walked up to Wang Xiaolun’s ring. “Brother Wang, please give me some advice.”
“Are you sure Sister Jian wants to challenge me?” Wang Xiaolun’s expression was strange. “I’m not the kind of person who likes to destroy flowers ruthlessly.”
Jian Yuxiang smiled and said again, “Please advise me.”
At this moment, not only Wang Xiaolun, but the audience on and off the stage were also stunned.
After all, Wang Xiaolun was a genius in the Scorching Sun Sect, second only to Huyan Zan.
Cheng Xu was deep in thought. Although Wang Xiaolun was a fool when he saw a beautiful woman, his strength was still there. Jian Yuxiang challenging Wang Xiaolun right away was too subtle and rash.
In his confusion, he had already begun to shout impatiently at Wang Tianheng.
“What are you waiting for? If you don’t dare to fight, then get lost obediently, lest you suffer physical pain!”
Cheng Xu glanced at Wang Tianheng, ready to finish this guy off quickly.
“Alright, let’s do it directly.”
Wang Tianheng grunted and formed a seal with his hands. Golden seals appeared around his body and he suddenly attacked Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu was unmoved. He stood where he was and said softly, “Qi!”
In the next moment.
A huge ancient seal character “Qi” appeared above Cheng Xu, exuding a shocking pressure.
As soon as the Qi word was spoken, the entire place fell silent. The crowd on and off the stage all exclaimed and looked at him.
Wang Tianheng, who was still full of confidence a second ago, had his true energy reverse flow in the next second. His blood and Qi surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a muffled groan. He collapsed halfway through his attack on Cheng Xu, looking at Cheng Xu as if he had seen a ghost.
With Cheng Xu’s current level of alchemy, how could Wang Tianheng be able to contend against the might of the Medicine Technique Truths?
Before everyone could react, Wang Tianheng was already kicked off the stage by Cheng Xu with a scream.
“Done.”
Cheng Xu brushed his wrinkled robe and looked at the ring next door with interest. At this time, Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang had not started fighting yet. Both of them looked at Cheng Xu in a daze.
“Why are you looking at me? Let’s fight!” Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After the two of them regained their senses, they began to officially fight.
At this moment, the crowd on and off the stage was still in shock from the Qi Word Mantra. Not many people paid attention to the battle between Wang Xiaolun and Jian Yuxiang.
“Was that the mantra of the Medicine Celestial Valley? Why was it different from Miao Changsheng’s?”
“It’s too big… isn’t that too big?”
“Wang Tianheng had no ability to resist at all. He was directly paralyzed on the stage.”
“What a terrifying spell! Was this really the inheritance of the Medicine Celestial Valley? Why does it feel like it’s even more terrifying than the legacies of our four great sects!”
“It’s the same qi word mantras, but the difference in power is so great?”
On the other arenas, the paragons of the four sects looked at each other in shock, their expressions unprecedentedly solemn.
“This mantra… It seemed to be several times stronger than when he was on Heavenly Dragon Mountain!” Liu Qiao’s expression was uncertain.
“Although it’s not as good as Chi Yao Zhenren’s qi word mantra, it’s still very terrifying.”
“I heard that the medicinal technique mantra is improved by the level of alchemy. In that case, Cheng Xu’s alchemy ability has probably exceeded our imagination, but he has only joined the Medicine Celestial Valley for half a year.” Xue Lingyu analyzed in bewilderment.
Huyan Zan was shocked for a long time before he looked at Yan Changfeng teasingly. “Brother Yan, I’m afraid your position as the champion is not very stable!”
Yan Changfeng took a deep breath and did not say anything. However, the way he looked at Cheng Xu became much more serious.
Although he was very confident in himself, the terrifying talent displayed by Cheng Xu had already exceeded his imagination.
All along, he had been in a state of loneliness among the younger generation of Mini Nantian. However, Cheng Xu’s appearance made him feel a trace of excitement that he had never felt before..
