Chapter 217: 217: Change in Attitude 1
It was his most powerful killing move that helped him victorious over Yuan Chiye in the previous round.
Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade!
In response, Chen Mobai also put forth his most powerful sword!
This sword was hailed by Zhou Wangshen and others as the epitome of the Qi Cultivating Realm, the Sword Qi Long Rainbow!
Two slender fingers stretched out, gently sliding over the green flying sword. The ordinary Divine Wood Sword, after being infused with a drop of liquid spiritual power, seemed to have been liberated entirely, inciting a vast amount of pure spiritual energy.
It was like the dawn just breaking, initially, it was but a point, but before you knew it, it had pervaded the whole sky, transforming into boundless rainbow clouds, dazzlingly magnificent.
The Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade, which Mu Yuan was proud of, held on only for a breath under the oncoming Sword Qi Long Rainbow. It then shattered into a large cluster of green light strands, which were then instantly dissolved by the sword qi.
“How can it be so powerful!!”
Mu Yuan couldn’t believe it, but he wanted to struggle again.
This powerful sword qi must be his opponent’s trump card, and he could not possibly have a second one.
If he could hold on, he had the hope of turning defeat into victory.
Not daring to hold back anymore, Mu Yuan swallowed a pill and spat out most of his spiritual energy, pumping it into the Azure Spirit Bead, pushing the defense of this Rank-2 magic artifact to its limit.
Next, he took out a talisman, which transformed into a golden light shield covering his whole body.
Finally, he slapped the trembling Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him while chanting, conjuring a strong defensive magic.
The once vibrant, cloud-like towering tree suddenly withered and condensed in that moment. All the spirit of the wood transformed into a patch of lush green spirit leaves, forming another layer of defense behind the light curtain of the Azure Spirit Bead.
However, be it the Azure Spirit Bead, the golden light shield, or even the Spirit Leaves Technique!
When faced with Chen Mobai’s dazzling sword, they were like waves hitting the shore, stirring up countless beads and sprays of water, and causing ripples.
In the end, under the powerful power of the Sword Qi Long Rainbow, they calmed down.
Mu Yuan vomited blood. His whole body couldn’t hold once the triple defense was shattered and was thrown off the platform, falling heavily onto the ground.
At this moment, Mu Yuan finally understood why the sect leader said that statement.
[Today your opponent is a bit powerful, if you feel you can’t hold on, just concede.]
Is this being a bit powerful?
This guy, he is a complete monster!
It’s completely unfair for the sect competition to let such a monster compete against them, a group of Qi practitioners.
But for Mu Yuan, it was too late for regrets.
He struggled to his feet, feeling the emptiness of his dantian’s Qi Sea, but the fact that his body was unharmed showed that his opponent had held back.
He looked up to see the young man on the stage who was weak last year, smiling at him and retrieving the once again ordinary Divine Wood Sword back into his storage bag with a sword-shape fingers.
Had he not experienced it himself, Mu Yuan would never have believed that this fellow, in the Qi Cultivating Realm, could unleash such a terrifying sword.
At this point, he thought of the Sword Cultivation Realm he first came across when he started to practice sword techniques.
Comparing with the text in his memory, Mu Yuan recognized it.
It was the third stage of sword cultivation, Sword Qi like a rainbow!
[So, they recognized it long ago, and I was just too arrogant…]
At this thought, Mu Yuan’s pride from defeating Yuan Chiye was gone entirely. Compared to Chen Mobai, who had understood the Sword Qi like a rainbow in the Qi Cultivating Realm, they, all of them, were a joke.
“I lost!”
Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Mu Yuan solemnly conceded to him.
“I know you lost.”
“From now on, you will be my second rival.”
Leaving these words behind, Mu Yuan bowed to Chen Mobai, then turned and left looking pale.
“This guy, at least he can accept defeat.”
Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow, watching Mu Yuan’s retreating figure, thinking that this complete defeat he was dealt might actually do him some good.
But even if Mu Yuan had made further progress after this battle, he was still just an outsider to Chen Mobai.
That’s because Chen Mobai was about to become the top core disciple and get the Foundation Building Pill.
Once he completes the Foundation Establishment, he will be considered an elder of the Divine Wood Sect.
Only the final round remained.
Despite Chen Mobai’s composure, he could not help but feel some fluctuation in his thoughts at this point.
That night, they were at the usual tavern.
The only difference was that Yuan Chiye had joined them.
“I never even considered that you could grow this powerful in less than four years.”
Raising his glass of wine and sighing, Yuan Chiye vividly remembered how he had initially introduced Chen Mobai to the sect.
The kindness of Yuan senior leading the way, I keep in mind.”
Chen Mobai toasted Yuan Chiye, who, while relaxed days before, seemed a bit restrained now.
After all, the handsome young man in front of him was basically certain to successfully establish his foundation.
Even if the pill produced by Elder Zeng did not help him achieve Foundation Establishment, his unrivaled Qi Cultivating Realm meant he could hold the top core disciple position until he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, or until he exceeded his sixties.
But thinking about it, with this man’s heaven-defying comprehension ability, coupled with his almost dual attribute top-tier True Spirit Root talent, there ‘ was a high probability of him successfully completing the Foundation Establishment on the first try.
After all, the current talk of the Divine Wood Sect was all about Chen Guixian’s unparalleled talent, surpassing even Hong He, who had suppressed the previous generation of core disciples for ten years.
“Elder E Yun said that he will discuss meeting with you whenever you have time.”
Yuan Chiye’s words left Chen Mobai surprised. Were the core elders of the
Divine Wood Sect so generous to the top core disciples, even offering to arrange their meetings?
But Chen Mobai still understood his position.
“I’ve always wanted to thank Elder E Yun personally. Just like we agreed before,
we’ll meet after the sect’s grand competition.”
“Very good, very good. I’ll report this to Elder E Yun right away.”
After conveying his message rather awkwardly, Yuan Chiye put down his glass and stood up. He signaled Liu Wenbo to continue drinking with Chen Mobai as he excused himself.
Is Elder E Yun very scary? Why did senior Yuan look so constrained just delivering a message?”
Chen Mobai asked Liu Wenbo in curiosity. Not knowing how to answer, the latter could only manage a stiff smile and took a drink to hide his uncertainty.
Xi Jinghuo, who was at the side, rolled his eyes, but after interacting with Chen
Mobai for the past two years, he knew that Chen Mobai was always like this.
To the matters he was less concerned about, he appeared incredibly obtuse.
However, it was perhaps this pure and simple nature that allowed him to achieve such a formidable Sword Dao Realm while in the Qi Cultivation stage!
