My Master Knows It All-Chapter 559 - 191: What You Can Do, I Can Do Better_2

"However, thinking of Junior Sister’s talent, achieving Pill Fusion shouldn’t be far off," he said.

Although he had won, he had truly felt the terror of the Fire of Departure. Yi Sheng, with only nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills and without Pill Fusion, had managed to contend with his Great Sorrow Holy Water for a time, which already proved Yi Sheng’s strength.

He said these words not out of a sense of obligation because Yi Sheng was Master Cao’s disciple, thus deliberately speaking well of her. Rather, he truly believed that Yi Sheng was strong enough.

Liao Kong had merely controlled the flow of water to push Yi Sheng to the edge of the stage without truly aiming to seriously wound her. Yi Sheng quickly stood up, cupped her hands towards Liao Kong, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for the lesson."

After that, she turned and flew back in the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect, landing beside Cao Zhen, her face filled with self-blame, "Master, I’m sorry, your disciple lost, causing shame for you, for our Four Treasures Peak, and for the Hundred Peaks Sect."

Out of the total five disciples of Four Treasures Peak, she was now the only one who had lost.

"It’s okay, winning and losing are normal, everyone loses sometimes. Just like in this Immortals’ Martial Gathering, your Senior Brothers and Sisters will also lose. After all, in the end, there can only be one number one, and it’s not possible that all of them could take first place, right?"

Cao Zhen comforted Yi Sheng, patting her shoulder. It seemed like the time when one should tousle a disciple’s hair to offer comfort, but Yi Sheng was now almost as tall as he was, making it rather inappropriate to ruffle her hair.

"But... disciple..." Yi Sheng felt a deep sense of guilt. Her master had gone out of his way to refine Human Pills for her and to pass on Divine Skills.

None of her Senior Brothers and Sisters had received such treatment.

However, she still let her Master down.

"There are no buts," Cao Zhen interrupted Yi Sheng. "If you lost, you lost. Just go back and continue your cultivation. Right now, you only have nine Golden Pills. When you have ten... at that time, let’s go find Liao Kong, let’s fight him again, and let’s win against him once more!"

"Yes," Yi Sheng nodded solemnly, with utter seriousness, "After returning, your disciple will definitely strive hard in her cultivation. However your disciple lost to him today, at that time, that is how your disciple will win against her."

Cao Zhen looked at Yi Sheng, her face full of fighting spirit, and finally showed a smile of relief like that of a proud father. In a daze, he seemed to see once again that Yi Sheng who, before joining the Four Treasures Peak, was always filled with confidence and pride.

After comforting Yi Sheng, he turned his gaze toward another stage.

On the Alpha Stage, two contenders who were both at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and were both from top ten Immortal Sects, were crossing hands. However, the battle was now presenting a one-sided situation.

Liè Yàn from Flying Immortal Peak was completely overpowering Xiao Zhongsheng from the Divine Occurrence Sect, and, astonishingly, his method of attack, his Divine Skills, also involved flames.

As the fight on another stage concluded, everyone’s gaze turned toward the Alpha Stage.

"Why do the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect all excel at using flames?" some audience asked.

"Both are Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but Liè Yàn from the Hundred Peaks Sect clearly has the upper hand over Xiao Zhongsheng from the Divine Occurrence Sect.

"Without any surprises, Liè Yàn is bound to win."

"I’ve heard of Liè Yàn before, a prodigy of Flying Immortal Peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect. Some even say that Liè Yàn’s talent surpasses their sect’s prime disciple, Nie Jie. I didn’t believe it, but now I do."

"Flying Immortal Peak truly lives up to its reputation as the number one peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect. Besides having two individuals at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, Liè Yàn is also this powerful."

"I believe Liè Yàn definitely has the strength to aim for the top eleven!"

"Is the Hundred Peaks Sect going to rise to prominence once and for all?"

Across the various peaks, the crowd’s exclamations could be heard everywhere.

Cao Zhen, observing Liè Yàn who had already injured his opponent, showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. He knew they had such a person in the Hundred Peaks Sect, after all, he had watched him during the previous Hundred Peaks competition.

Back then, although Liè Yàn was only a mere Golden Pill, he had made it into the top ten. However, Cao Zhen had not expected that Liè Yàn would advance so quickly, now already achieving the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and possessing such formidable combat strength.

If he hadn’t assisted Li Ke in cultivating the Vermilion Bird Subordinate Flame, Li Ke would most likely not be a match for Liè Yàn.

As he was observing, the voice of the referee from below the Beta Stage could be heard. After all, one fight had already ended, and they couldn’t leave the stage empty for too long.

"On the Beta Stage, from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Four Treasures Peak’s Cao Zhen, will face off against the Four Extremes Sect’s Sishu Yueji."

Ling Xi and the others immediately looked in that direction.

"Master, it’s your turn," they said.

"Master," Zi Yu looked towards the distance and added, "Master, you haven’t achieved Pill Fusion yet. If you truly find yourself overmatched, just concede the fight.

I have a feeling that the Four Extremes Sect is like a typical villain, and such villains often have some schemes. So for safety’s sake, Master, if you cannot win, you must concede.

You can be assured, as the main character, I will definitely encounter Sishu Yueji in the next round after you concede, and then I’ll avenge you."

Focus on making it to the next round yourself first," Cao Zhen, not in the mood for further discussion with Zi Yu, stood up and flew toward the stage.

After this round started, the Golden Pill Great Perfection contenders began meeting each other, so it was not surprising that his opponent was also at Golden Pill Great Perfection.

When Cao Zhen’s name was heard,

the crowd, which was still watching the battle on the other stage, collectively turned their heads, gazing towards the now vacant stage.
