My Master Knows It All-Chapter 567 - 192_4

But in just a moment, the power of the Six Syllable Mantra had vanished, and the towering mountain still stood tall in the void, blocking Ling Xi’s path.

Ling Xi looked at Liao Kong from a distance, without any intention of making an offensive move.

After all, she had watched the entire duel between her junior disciple sister and Liao Kong yesterday, where Liao Kong was considerate and didn’t attack from beginning to end, only extinguishing her junior sister’s flames with the Great Mercy Holy Water in the end.

Since the opponent had been so considerate towards her junior disciple sister, then she would show the same courtesy to Liao Kong. She planned to focus solely on defense like Liao Kong did yesterday and not attack.

Liao Kong gazed at the mountainous peak that seemed impossible to shake, his brows furrowing even more deeply after a while.

He wanted to find a gap in the formation, a weakness in Ling Xi. He had to strike Ling Xi, force her to make a change.

But now, he couldn’t even breach the divine skill deployed by Ling Xi, let alone strike her.

The divine skill unleashed by Ling Xi, although appearing to be a single ability manifesting as a giant mountain, had in fact involved the release of twenty-eight different talismans, each containing various changes. It could no longer be regarded as a mere single divine skill.

Moreover, the key point was that combating Ling Xi gave him a sensation of having nowhere to start or apply force.

After discovering his Six Syllable Mantra couldn’t penetrate Ling Xi’s defenses, Liao Kong started using various divine skills, assaulting Ling Xi fiercely.

However, no matter how he attacked, he couldn’t break through the mountainous apparitions amassed by Ling Xi.

From a distance, the crowd watching this scene felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Why do I feel that the battle between Ling Xi and Liao Kong is so similar to yesterday’s battle between Yi Sheng and Liao Kong?"

"That’s right, it’s just that Ling Xi is like Liao Kong from yesterday, while Liao Kong has become like Yi Sheng from yesterday!"

"Yes, no matter how Liao Kong attacked, he couldn’t break through the other’s defense. Isn’t this just a replay of his fight with Yi Sheng yesterday?"

"Is Ling Xi doing this on purpose? Because Liao Kong defeated her junior sister yesterday, so she intends to defeat Liao Kong using the strategy of formation? Truly piercing to the heart."

"Is that necessary, though? If it were someone else, I could understand why Ling Xi would do this, but Liao Kong has acknowledged Peak Master Cao as the Pathfinder; they’re practically on the same side, Ling Xi has no reason to do this."

"Exactly, and besides, the reason Liao Kong could do what he did yesterday was because he’s at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and Yi Sheng had nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills and hadn’t reached Pill Fusion yet. That’s how he managed that.

But today, they are both at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection. Does Ling Xi really need to do that? Is she so confident that she can completely suppress Liao Kong?"

Liao Kong was indeed completely overpowered. He now fully understood why Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren said that Ling Xi was the strongest disciple of Cao Zhen.

Even without deploying the formation, relying only on the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, he wasn’t necessarily going to win, not to mention that he could only exert eighty-five percent of his strength now.

After several ineffectual attacks, Liao Kong consciously stepped back, pressing his palms together and chanting a Buddhist invocation towards Ling Xi with an open face, "I am grateful for Disciple Sister Ling Xi’s guidance. I admit I am not a match for the Disciple Sister."

With that, he turned his head to the referee below the stage and said, "I concede."

If one couldn’t win, they simply couldn’t win. Since he knew he was outmatched, why not concede?

"Concede?"

"He... he actually conceded?"

"The first battle of the top thirty-two ends with Liao Kong’s concession?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Isn’t it said that disciples of the great Immortal Sects usually don’t concede?"

"That’s ordinarily, and besides, Infinite Temple is somewhat special. Infinite Temple has always said they dislike conflict, so it’s not too strange for someone from Infinite Temple to concede."

"Is it over just like that?"

"Actually, without conceding, there’s no way out. Liao Kong was completely suppressed by Ling Xi, with no glimmer of hope for victory."

"We were wrong. We’ve always thought that Ling Xi was the weakest among the Four Treasures Peak disciples, except for Yi Sheng, but now it seems that Ling Xi could even be the strongest!"

"Yes, she gives off an air of being unsolvable. Everyone is at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and aside from Star Lord Hao Yue and Peak Master Cao, who are reincarnated with great abilities, everyone’s strengths should be similar.

However, Ling Xi, with her Formation Map, can directly prevent her opponent from exerting their full strength. Just with that, she’s nearly invincible."

"To defeat Ling Xi, one must break her Formation Map."

"But that Formation Map seems to be connected to her Divine Weapon and to herself. One would need to injure her or force her to change to break the Formation Map, right?"

"Unless your strength greatly surpasses hers, one could cause her harm."

"But if your strength is suppressed, how can you injure her, make her change?"

"So, it seems she’s truly unsolvable."

"This Ling Xi... I can’t imagine how those geniuses should face her to achieve victory."

"It’s unexpected. Liao Kong from Infinite Temple didn’t even make it to the top sixteen and was eliminated directly. Who could have imagined such an outcome before today?"

Not only were the observing disciples feeling troubled, but the remaining Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection geniuses were also deeply contemplative with solemn expressions. What strategy should they employ against such an opponent?
