Chapter 479: Chapter 476: Qi Fortune Thrives, Trial Begins
The surrounding cultivators were in an uproar, nobody had expected Ma Xingkong to suddenly breakthrough during the battle, grasping the Speed Principle under the relentless sound wave assault from Tang Qiyun.
Although this was related to Ma Xingkong already being on the verge of a breakthrough, his ability to breakthrough during the battle also displayed his immense natural talent.
For anyone capable of achieving this, they all possessed excellent understanding.
If a cultivator had average understanding, not to mention breaking through during battle, they probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand Tang Qiyun’s fierce sound wave attacks for so long.
Even if they could endure, they would rely on their defensive magical treasures to barely hold on, rather than constantly using divine skills to dodge like Ma Xingkong did, squeezing out his own potential.
Don’t assume that Ma Xingkong grasping the law seemed as effortless as water flowing into a channel without much difficulty, but in reality, he had faced multiple dangers under Tang Qiyun’s attack.
It was by relying on his ability to turn danger into safety step by step, continuously squeezing himself, focusing all his energy on the “White Colt Passes” divine skill, that he could understand a deeper layer of mystery under endless pressure, grasping the profound law and dodging an attack at a critical moment to escape to safety.
Tang Sanyuan was utterly distressed!
He originally instigated his sister and Ma Xingkong to enter the arena, wanting his sister to easily defeat Ma Xingkong and let both of them understand the gap in their Daoist cultivation.
Even though Tang Qiyun’s musical achievement was enough to crush a Golden Core Cultivator like Ma Xingkong who had yet to grasp the law, he had no idea that Ma Xingkong would play such an off-tune, unbearable “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” that would disturb Tang Qiyun’s Seven Emotions Zither Sheet, eventually grasping the law in front of everyone.
This was completely different from his original plan!
Now, not only was Ma Xingkong more arrogant than before the battle, but even Tang Qiyun’s gazes towards Ma Xingkong revealed a bit of admiration.
After all, Ma Xingkong hadn’t understood the principles before, yet he managed to withstand her relentless sound wave attacks for so long, and time and again he turned danger into safety in nearly impossible situations; just this alone was admirable.
Moreover, Tang Qiyun knew very well that Ma Xingkong had a Unicorn of the Purple Mansion Realm leisurely watching the battle without intervening in their fighting.
If Ma Xingkong truly ordered the Unicorn to attack her with full force, Tang Qiyun didn’t believe her previous flute music could have subdued that Unicorn, seeing its lively eyes darting everywhere showed that it hadn’t been greatly affected.
Besides the Unicorn, Ma Xingkong definitely had other Spiritual Beasts, which could be seen from the row of Spiritual Beast Bags on his waist.
Even without a Purple Mansion Realm Spiritual Beast, simply releasing a few Demon Core Realm Spiritual Beasts would have still tied up some of her energy.
But Ma Xingkong never did so from beginning to end, not even caring about the Unicorn merely watching from the side, this made Tang Qiyun deeply admire him; if it had been anyone else, most likely they wouldn’t have done the same as Ma Xingkong.
“Ha ha ha…”
Ma Xingkong laughed triumphantly a few times, then cheekily moved close to Tang Qiyun, speaking various flattering words. Besides thanking Sister Qiyun for her help, he admired Sister Qiyun for her profound Daoist cultivation and unparalleled zither skills, his words also hinting at asking her to teach him flute playing skills when he had time.
This greatly annoyed Tang Sanyuan who was not far away.
Yet he could not vent his frustration and could only glare at Ma Xingkong with an unpleasant expression.
However, his gaze had no killing power to Ma Xingkong, because Young Master Ma had seen countless similar looks since his childhood and had long been immune to them.
Not far away, Xue Baoshu looked at Ma Xingkong with some surprise, and as he finally paused from flattering Tang Qiyun, she curiously asked, “Junior Brother Ma, when we were competing for the position of True Disciple earlier this year, why didn’t you release that Unicorn?”
Her mention reminded the other disciples from Beast Taming Sect, and they also looked towards Ma Xingkong.
“What’s so strange about that?”
Ma Xingkong said as if it were only natural, “Back then you only used your Lifebound Spiritual Beast, so of course I couldn’t summon other Spiritual Beasts to fight, otherwise wouldn’t that be taking advantage of you?”
“…”
Everyone was speechless!
Whether it was the disciples from Beast Taming Sect or other cultivators from various sects, they all looked at him with odd expressions.
That was a position of a True Disciple!
A sect only had so many positions like that, and anyone who secured one would receive the sect’s utmost cultivation support, including inheritance of cultivation techniques, resources, treasures, and even some secret powerful inheritances that only circulated among True Disciples. Yet Ma Xingkong had let that slip away just because of such an unreasonable reason, ultimately losing to Xue Baoshu by a slight margin and letting the True Disciple’s position slip through his fingers.
Tang Qiyun admired him with a face full of respect, “Brother Ma indeed is a humble gentleman, maintaining his initial intent even in the competition for True Inheritance positions, truly an extraordinary person, this younger sister admires you!”
She had secured her position as the Chief Disciple of the Music Department back then relying solely on her own zither skills, overpowering all competitors, which is why her position as the Chief Disciple of the Music Department was so stable.
“Haha, Sister Qiyun flatters me!”
Ma Xingkong’s face was lit with joy, and after being praised by Tang Qiyun, he felt somewhat elated. “We cultivators should have things we do and don’t do. The competition between Treasure Bead and me was indeed a major involvement, but it also needed to be fair. Otherwise, if I relied on spiritual beasts and Sister Treasure Bead relied on powerful magical treasures, even if we won, there would be those who would not accept it, feeling the victory was not martially honorable, and criticize us!”
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
It was precisely because Sister Treasure Bead had fairly won against him initially that he had never felt there was anything inappropriate about it. “The Sect’s true inheritance is to select disciples with the best talent and highest aptitude for cultivation. You absolutely cannot resort to underhanded methods; otherwise, once you start down that path, the future will only become more chaotic!”
“Brother Ma speaks rightly!”
Tang Qiyun’s eyes shone with admiration, “Being able to see the situation so clearly, Brother Ma is indeed a kindred spirit to me!”
“Sister Qiyun is right, you and I share similar interests and actions, if we are not kindred spirits, then where else in the world could we find such a soulmate?”
Amidst Tang Qiyun’s flattering words, Ma Xingkong grew even more complacent, feeling like he was the most upright and handsome man under the heavens, meant to be with a talented woman like Tang Qiyun, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple of both talents and looks, a union decreed by fate!
Fortunately, he still had some self-control and did not blurt these words out then and there; otherwise, Tang Sanyuan might have jumped up to give him a good slap!
Despite this, his arrogant expression was unmistakable to everyone present.
The surrounding people were all speechless.
This guy is really something else!
Moreover, in other Sects, relying on powerful spiritual beasts to seize the true inheritance might indeed be criticized, but you’re a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect!
In the competition for true disciples within the Beast Taming Sect, even if you could tame a Demon Immortal to fight for you, not only would no one talk nonsense, but they would also regard you with even higher esteem. How come it has turned into a matter of fair and single-handed competition in your words?
Xue Baoshu sighed softly, feeling somewhat conflicted, yet she said no more.
If Ma Xingkong had released that unicorn at the beginning, she definitely wouldn’t have been a match.
Although true disciples from various Sects are capable of fighting above their level and matching the Purple Mansion Realm, that refers to Golden Core Peak disciples who have already grasped the Power of Laws. Back then, she had not yet grasped any Laws, far lacking compared to a Purple Mansion Realm spiritual beast.
Not far from her, another disciple highly valued by the Divine Bull Lineage, Qi Hengshan, also had a complex expression.
He had originally been quite resentful of losing to Ma Xingkong, especially since Ma Xingkong had not faced him directly in the fight, simply relying on speed to move around him, causing him to get extremely angry, and it was during an unguarded moment that Ma Xingkong had taken advantage.
If they were to talk about real strength, he didn’t consider himself any weaker than Xue Baoshu, so he was quite frustrated that he hadn’t seized the true inheritance throne.
However, seeing the unicorn Ma Xingkong had now, he immediately lost his spirit.
Ma Xingkong had already been capable of taming a Purple Mansion Realm spiritual beast, and had not even used it in their contest; if he had, he could have easily swept through the competition, so what was there left to be angry about?
Regardless of what the cultivators present thought of how peculiar Ma Xingkong was, this did not overshadow the fact that he possessed exceptional talent.
To be able to comprehend the Power of Laws at such an age was already a mark of a genius among geniuses, even stronger than many of the true disciples from various Sects present.
For a moment, the other Sects’ cultivators looked towards the Beast Taming Sect with a hidden sigh.
The Beast Taming Sect was indeed blessed with great Qi Fortune!
Not only did they have cultivators like Li Miaozhen and Qin Feng who could directly contend with the Chief Disciple of the Spring and Autumn Academy, but other disciples also exhibited extraordinary talent that was alarmingly impressive.
Not to mention others, just speaking of today’s battle, the fact that the Beast Taming Sect had two individuals who had breakthroughs in the midst of combat was something many might not believe if it were spoken of elsewhere.
Yet, this was indisputably witnessed by everyone present, making it hard to disbelieve.
First was Xue Baoshu, who during battle had dominated a true disciple from the Spring and Autumn Academy, fighting more and more smoothly, and ultimately, this strength-based cultivator had realized the Power Principle, advancing the Great Strength Divine Power to a higher realm.
Then, it was Ma Xingkong.
It can be said that in today’s struggle, the Beast Taming Sect greatly benefited.
Once this event spread, not only their reputation would rise, but also in the upcoming trials, having two disciples who had breakthroughs and understood the Laws would bring them even more chances, possibly earning them even more fortuitous opportunities.
It seemed, as the first Sect to achieve victory in this expedition, the Beast Taming Sect had received extra attention from the Heavenly Dao, blessed with a great deal of Qi Fortune; otherwise, such coincidences as today’s wouldn’t have occurred.
Although the main reason was that both Xue Baoshu and Ma Xingkong’s cultivation realms were already on the verge of breakthrough, without the support of the Heavenly Dao’s Qi Fortune, or if the Sect’s fortune wasn’t thriving, they might not have been able to break through at this critical juncture!
Deep within the palace, the Elders had, of course, already learned about these two disciples’ successive understanding of the Laws, which made them all very excited.
Just then, a voice came from beyond the Nine Heavens: “All Sect disciples, prepare to head to the Lingxiao Palace for a gathering. The trial is about to begin!”
