My Master Knows It All-Chapter 601 - 199_1

Yan Yourong did not engage in combat with Cao Zhen. After stepping onto the stage, she conceded immediately.

After all, Little Beiyan once said, "A master is like a father," and the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty holds the principle of filial piety in the utmost regard. How could she fight her own master?

Her concession could not be faulted by anyone, not even the Grand Preceptor could blame her out of anger.

After all, Yan Yourong was following the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s tradition of prioritizing filial piety above all else.

Nobody was surprised by Yan Yourong’s concession, and regarding the next match...

"There’s nothing much left to fight for now,"

"Indeed, with the injuries Xiang Ziyu sustained yesterday, it’s questionable whether he can even climb onto the stage."

"I see Xiang Ziyu over there."

"He probably will take to the stage, but, I wonder if he’s going to concede?"

"Xiang Ziyu probably won’t concede. After all, he’s from the Hundred Peaks Sect. Look at the previous battles among the top ten Immortal Sects – apart from meeting a master, which is a special circumstance, how many have conceded?

And the Hundred Peaks Sect, among the top ten Immortal Sects, is the sect least likely to concede. In their words, members of the Hundred Peaks Sect would rather die standing than live kneeling."

"Actually, for today’s two matches, I reckon there won’t be much fighting. It will probably go straight to the finals."

"Look quick, Xiang Ziyu has already ascended the stage."

As the referee’s voice fell, both Xiang Ziyu and Star Lord Hao Yue landed on the stage.

Both had sustained significant injuries during yesterday’s battle.

Xiang Ziyu had used a secret technique, while Star Lord Hao Yue had been injured by the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now, Star Lord Hao Yue showed no signs of injury, whereas Xiang Ziyu’s face was pale as death - in Little Bei’s words, he looked incredibly weak.

On the stage, Star Lord Hao Yue, even facing such a state of Xiang Ziyu, still immediately released his Golden Core. Although his face didn’t show much solemnity, he maintained the composed and calm demeanor he always had.

Yesterday, Ling Xi had caused him considerable trouble, the main issue being that his Formation Map was destroyed. While the Map wasn’t entirely beyond repair and could be fixed with materials he possessed, the problem was that a damaged Formation Map couldn’t be repaired in just a day or two.

Moreover, he spent most of yesterday treating his own injuries.

After all, he had been bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulation several times.

Even after a day of healing, he still had not fully recovered. With his current physical state at the Golden Core Stage, it was impossible to heal the injuries inflicted by the Heavenly Tribulation so quickly.

This was in consideration of Ling Xi’s madness from yesterday.

Even though the Xiang Ziyu he faced today had already used a secret technique and presumably had no strength left, considering that Xiang Ziyu’s master was Cao Zhen, also a person of great ability, who knew if Cao Zhen had taught Xiang Ziyu some special cultivation technique that would enable him to unleash his fighting power again!

So, he still dared not be careless today.

As Star Lord Hao Yue released his Golden Core, Xiang Ziyu also quickly released his own Golden Core.

Compared to yesterday, his Golden Core appeared much more ephemeral. Atop the Golden Core, the two silhouettes, one black and one white, were exceedingly dim, to the point where one could barely make out the humanoid shapes.

"This Golden Core, and the visions on this Golden Core, Xiang Ziyu’s injuries are indeed severe!"

"Judging by the state of the Golden Core, I even feel that an ordinary practitioner at the Perfect Completion Golden Core could defeat him." freёweɓnovel_com

"You don’t even need someone at the Perfect Completion Golden Core level, just a person with nine Golden Cores who has completed Pill Fusion might defeat him."

"Although we might not be able to handle Xiang Ziyu in such a condition, his opponent today is Star Lord Hao Yue. In this state, he simply can’t cause any trouble for Star Lord Hao Yue."

Amidst the crowd’s discussion, Xiang Ziyu reached into his Qiankun Bag.

The next moment, a strange short staff appeared in everyone’s sight. This staff was pitch-black and unpolished, looking just like a fire poker, extremely rough and uneven in thickness.

Atop the black staff, four beads were embedded.

All four beads were damaged: some severely, appearing as if they could crumble at the slightest breeze, while others had only a single crack.

As Xiang Ziyu made his move, the gazes of everyone on the mountain focused on the staff in his hand.

"Is this the first time Xiang Ziyu is using a divine weapon?"

"What weapon is that?"

"That design, with its rough appearance, how could that be a divine weapon? It doesn’t even qualify as a regular weapon."

"I don’t feel any aura emanating from it."

"But this is something Xiang Ziyu took out, he wouldn’t randomly pull out an item for no reason."

Suddenly, Cao Zhen remembered the movement Xiang Ziyu made to reach into his Qiankun Bag during the exchange with Freely Child yesterday.

Could it be, Xiang Ziyu had intended to use this treasure then?

A short staff? Is this staff the result of melting down the divine weapon I gave him and then reforging it?

And the beads on the staff, one of them must be the Heavenly Gang Disha Bead he obtained from the Immortal Soldier Workshop.

What about the other three?

During his travels, could he have found another three Heavenly Gang Disha Beads?

Compared to Ai Yunqi, Cao Zhen’s understanding of divine weapons, especially those of the Hundred Peaks Sect, was far inferior. Indeed, within the entire Sect, no one understood the divine weapons of their predecessors better than Ai Yunqi.
