Chapter 363: 283: Breaking the Record_1
Chen Mobai asked. Although no one dared to use the Primordial Yang Sword at this present moment, it was one of the rank-5 flying swords that the cultivator sects could count on and was also a symbol of Pure Yang Academy.
It was precisely because of owning this flying sword that the Pure Yang Academy could confidently rank in the top three among the ten major academies.
“Of course they didn’t agree, but sometimes you just can’t win against the odds.”
“Although Gongye Zhixu is the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall, if our Daoist Academy doesn’t cooperate, this Little Red Sky won’t be able to start.”
“I just proposed it once, but he must have thought it was the dean’s idea, so he invited Nangong Xuanyu and me to discuss it. Just at that time, you were consecutively winning in Little Red Sky, so he proposed to use you as a wager.”
“If you can break the winning streak record of the ancestor Yuan Yang, then the Primordial Yang Sword will be used as the core of Little Red Sky; if not, we will still take the Nine Dragon Cauldron from the depths of the Treasure Trove.”
Che Yucheng explained with a slight smile, revealing some hidden aspects to this. Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel.
He never expected that he would determine the ownership of a rank-5 legal treasure.
“With Sima Xingyu self-crippled his cultivation level, I’m afraid he won’t be my match.”
Chen Mobai was very confident in himself.
During Sima Xingyu’s peak period, he was considered to be the most talented person in Pure Yang Academy for a hundred years, second only to Xiahou Weihuan. He was also the top configuration of the Pure Yang Secret and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, and he even defeated the Chief of the Repairing Heaven Institute in a direct confrontation.
If he were to duel with this kind of opponent, the chances of winning indeed would not be high.
However, at the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage Six, sudden changes to his realm would certainly cause problems in controlling his spiritual power and sword qi. If he had these flaws when facing Chen Mobai, there was a high likelihood that he would lose.
“You’re oversimplifying things.”
Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai a bewildering response.
“What’s wrong, master?”
“In the cultivator world, Sima Xingyu willingly crippled his cultivation level back to Foundation Establishment Stage Six. However, due to the uniqueness of the Little Red Sky and the existing character template of Sima Xingyu, he will be able to use his peak strength at Foundation Establishment Stage Eight when he faces you.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but gasp.
How is he supposed to fight this!
Although he did have some tricks up his sleeve, facing this kind of opponent, his odds of winning were likely to be one or two out of ten.
After all, Sima Xingyu was not an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition to having a top configuration of cultivation techniques and sword secrets, he, like Xiahou Weihuan, had also reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission.
The biggest trick up Chen Mobai’s sleeve when he could defeat opponents above his cultivation level was his sword light, but his opponent also possessed this, perhaps even at a deeper realm.
Although he could use Dual-phase Rotation to temporarily elevate Pure Yang Scroll to Foundation Establishment Stage Two, in face of Sima Xingyu, a peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage Eight, it was utterly insufficient.
“Master, doesn’t that mean things look bad for me?”
Chen Mobai started to panic. He didn’t care much about his win-loss record, but if this could affect the important matters of Che Yucheng and Daoist Academy, he would definitely feel guilty.
“Relax, now that I know this, how could I let Nangong Xuanyu have his way?”
Che Yucheng calmly brewed a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
“What’s your plan, master?”
Chen Mobai asked, eager to learn more.
But Che Yucheng simply shake his head, refusing to say more.
“You just go on fighting your matches, I’ll take care of the rest. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but only three people know about this situation. It’s better this way to avoid attracting Nangong Xuanyu’s attention and make him fall into the trap.”
Although Chen Mobai was eager for knowledge, he stopped questioning since Che Yucheng had said so.
“Can I enter Little Red Sky now and start matching directly?”
Curiosity prompted Chen Mobai to think of the fastest way to find out the truth.
Che Yucheng nodded, signaling that it was not a problem.
Lan Haitian, who had just left Crimson Mountain, was on his way. Suddenly, with a subtle smile, he instructed Lin Yin, who was driving, and then leaned back on the rear seat to close his eyes, entering Little Red Sky at the same time.
Chen Mobai opened his eyes and clicked on the match button at the top right corner.
Instantly, his log-in message was forwarded to the Pure Yang Academy’s side through the operators of Little Red Sky.
“We’ve been waiting for this.”
In the room, the pale-faced Sima Xingyu stood up, facing Xiahou Weihuan, whose face was tense.
After losing to Lan Haitian, Xia Hou Weihuan, the strongest cultivator of Foundation Establishment of Pure Yang Academy for the past hundred years, no longer appeared as arrogant and confident as at the beginning.
“The future of the Academy is entrusted to you.”
However, at this time, Xiahou Weihuan, who was in charge of the situation, could only forcefully cheer up. He led the others over to Sima Xingyu who had injured himself by self-crippling his cultivation level.
Sima Xingyu took a scarlet pill which Pure Yang Academy had kept as a secret medicine. It could restore him to his peak state in a short time and even surpass his previous self, reaching Foundation Establishment Stage Nine.
Plus the manual adjustments by the operators of Little Red Sky, once he entered, he would be matched with Chen Mobai to complete this final sniping mission.
“Leave it to me, I must win!”
After definitely stating these words, Sima Xingyu projected himself into Little Red Sky.
The power of the pill began to function. He could feel that the spiritual power in his Dantian and Qi sea was growing stronger and soon it filled his whole body. He even felt a sense of swelling as if he was about to burst.
