The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1041 - 558: Wondrous Artifact (2)
When the Wooden Sword and the small shield collided, a loud bang echoed through the air. However, the clasp did nothing to even slow the Wooden Sword. It exploded, and the Wooden Sword continued its advance towards the burly man.
The man's face was filled with shock; even if he could dodge faster, it wouldn't do any good. In the blink of an eye, the flying sword was upon him, the cold wind brushing his face.
"I yield!" he shouted without hesitation as he fell to the ground, his voice rising several octaves.
As the Wooden Sword hovered before the man's forehead, a buzzing sound could be heard, then it turned and flew back into Yan Xiaobao's hand.
Yan Xiaobao blinked, startled by the Wooden Sword himself. Before, he had merely practiced with it, unaware of its true power. That was before he began using weightlessness.
After a moment's contemplation, he lifted his chin, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at the burly man.
The man, pale-faced, seemed unwilling to concede. He curled up but stood, glaring at Yan Xiaobao as he said, "Using the power of a magical item doesn't count as winning! I don't accept this defeat!"
Following that, the man turned and left the arena.
Granny Sunx watched Yan Xiaobao, also startled by the power of the Wooden Sword. Yet, he announced Yan Xiaobao as the victor without any further remarks.
"Hahaha," Yan Xiaobao laughed. "In the next battle, I will admit defeat immediately. I've become an immortal cultivator, haven't I? All this killing and fighting is too barbaric. It's not the way Yan Xiaobao does things." Yan Xiaobao left the arena, feeling great about meeting Li Qinghou's requirement to enter the top five.
Li Qinghou's gaze lingered on Yan Xiaobao. Though others focused on the incredibility of the flying sword, Li Qinghou paid no attention to that. He had been observing Yan Xiaobao's skill and ease in controlling the Flying Sword.
Seeing Yan Xiaobao win another match, the crowd began to sigh emotionally.
"Ah, this guy must be wealthy, that's why he has such an incredible Wooden Sword. Hmph. If he had any other weapon, he definitely wouldn't win!"
"Magical devices have nothing to do with your cultivation. First, he used those amulets, then the sword. What a waste! He'll certainly end up bankrupt."
The complaints did not last long. The next battle was about to start. Du Lingfei was competing against an extraordinary cultivation base. It was an intense fight, but Du Lingfei didn't use her banner. Instead, she used Flying Swords. They fought repeatedly in a dazzling manner until suddenly, Du Lingfei's Flying Sword shot forward at astonishing speed, appearing directly in front of her opponent.
Such speed far exceeded what ordinary disciples could control, making the audience gasp when they realized what they were seeing.
"I can't believe her weightlessness!"
"Du Lingfei has truly reached enlightenment at that stage..."
"This is crucial!" In Granny Sunx's eyes, watching Du Lingfei, a flash of approval could be seen.
Li Qinghou also nodded.
Chen Ziang was shocked, and most of those who entered the top 10 had similar reactions. As for her opponent, he smiled wryly, surrendering with clenched fists.
Du Lingfei stood on stage, proudly surveying her surroundings. She tightly greeted Li Qinghou and Granny Sunx before leaving the arena.
The crowd still buzzed.
However, Yan Xiaobao stood there, blinking his eyes. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Does such a degree of speed count as weightlessness?" he wondered, surprised.
As Du Lingfei proudly left the arena, she could be seen with a trickle of sweat on her face. Despite being in the large circle of fifth-level Qi Condensation Dao, the consecutive battles were a drain on her spiritual energy. Especially for the last fight, her opponent possessed extraordinary combat strength. Ultimately, she was forced to unleash her weightless magic power, which was a greater drain on her spiritual energy. This was how she won.
Her goal was first place, and she knew her subsequent opponents would only be stronger. Because this particular sect competition wasn't very stringent, she didn't have much time to rest before the next match. Thus, she immediately took out a pill she had consumed, then closed her eyes and began using the time to recover.
Currently ranking in the top five are Yan Xiaobao and Du Lingfei, along with Chen Ziang. Lastly, there are two other young men, who have profound cultivation foundations in the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
At the moment, everyone is rotating their cultivation base, taking every opportunity to replenish some spiritual energy.
Only Yan Xiaobao seemed not to spend any spiritual energy at all. In fact, he even stood to the side yawning. When everyone eliminated saw this, it sparked a desire in them to defeat him.
Since he had already fulfilled Li Qinghou's requirement of entering the top five, he didn't care about the rest of the competition at all.
To suppress his boredom, he glanced at the other four competitors in the top five, especially Du Lingfei, thinking that if the speed she just unleashed counted as weightless, then he was certainly well beyond that.
"Too bad, she has such an extreme killing aura. Why would a good girl like her engage in such fighting and killing? Don't tell me all girls practicing immortal cultivation are such freaks? Zhou Xinqi is very proud, Hou Xiaomei is so irritable." Yan Xiaobao shook his head. As he was about to look away from Du Lingfei, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared coldly at him.
As for Du Lingfei, Yan Xiaobao was not even worth considering. After watching his previous two fights, she believed he had achieved lucky victories, which only strengthened her internal mockery.
"Well, dare to stare at me, do you?!" Yan Xiaobao immediately halted any movement to look elsewhere. Instead, as he glared at Du Lingfei, his eyes widened. Staring didn't have anything to do with fighting and bleeding, so since childhood, he had encountered few who could beat him at this.
Du Lingfei frowned. As for those gathered behind her worshipping, they were very annoyed, casting fierce glares in his direction.
However, seeing so many eyes on him and considering many of them were quite formidable, Yan Xiaobao cleared his throat. He had only two eyes, so how could he compete? "Hmm, they have numbers, and, real men don't fight girls."
He turned his head with a lizard-like twist.
About then, Elder Sunx's voice echoed throughout the arena.
"Very well, all of you. So far, this competition has gone smoothly. And now, we will continue narrowing down the competitors. Please forward, you five, and choose a marble. One of the marbles is a free pass into the Top 3." Smiling, Elder Sunx prepared the pouch again.
This time, Chen Ziang was the first. After drawing a marble, he frowned; his marble indicated number four.
Next was Du Lingfei, who obtained marble number two. The other two Outer Sect disciple disciples received first and third respectively.
Yan Xiaobao didn't even need to draw a marble; the remaining marble was the free pass.
Yan Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he smiled. He replaced his position outside the battlefield, arms crossed, feeling completely relaxed as he prepared to watch Du Lingfei and the others. He hadn't even planned to continue competing, but now, doing nothing, he had entered the top three.
"Luck is a crucial component of strength!" he thought, feeling very pleased with himself.
Very fortunate indeed, many viewers fixed their gazes on him, their faces bearing even stranger expressions. Most of them really couldn't bear to accept this situation, especially the other eliminated disciples, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy.
"This guy is utterly shameless. Well, good for him, he used a magical item to enter the Top 5, but then actually got a free pass into the Top 3!"
"How despicable. Frankly, there's never been anyone as despicable in this competition." It wasn't just the spectators. Even Du Lingfei felt a bit jealous of Yan Xiaobao's luck. The same went for Chen Ziang. The other four entering the Top 5 had already spent a lot of energy.
