Arena Battles
Even the Qiaofu, the eldest disciple of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, dared not be arrogant in the face of Sun Wukong.
After thinking for a moment, he directly excluded all disciples who practiced the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Arts.
The disciples who had cultivated the seventy-two Earthly Fiends were simply no match for Sun Wukong, this mischievous monkey.
However, the Qiaofu was not the first to go on stage. As the eldest disciple of the Three-Inch Spirit Platform, if he were to go on stage first, it would be a disaster from any perspective.
The Qiaofu thought for a moment and then sent his disciple Ma Lei, Control Five Thunders within the Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability, to fight!
Ma Lei was an arrogant man. When he stepped onto the arena, he looked at Sun Wukong and said, "You monkey, I cultivate the Control Five Thunders from the Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability, which allows me to control heavenly thunder to attack my enemies."
You monkey, you've been with us for quite some time now. I don't want to hurt you, so you'd better admit defeat quickly."
"You think you can hurt me?" Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong flew into a rage and charged straight at Ma Lei, throwing a punch at him.
Ma Lei never expected that Sun Wukong would rush straight at his face. In his mind, when cultivators fought, the two sides would stand at the edge of the arena and use their Divine Ability powers to fight each other.
When did a being as violent as Sun Wukong appear?
So, in an instant, Ma Lei was blasted out of the arena by Sun Wukong's punch. He was eliminated before he could even display his Control Five Thunders or his Divine Ability Arts.
When Ma Lei was eliminated, the edge of the ring fell silent.
No one could have imagined that Ma Lei would not even last a single round, being so quickly defeated by Sun Wukong.
"Ahem." The Qiaofu coughed twice, unsure of what to say for a moment.
You might say Sun Wukong broke the rules, but magical duels are supposed to be a place where everyone uses their own methods, and Sun Wukong's actions were not wrong at all.
Moreover, the Qiaofu was not one of these disciples who had been raised in the Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain and had never fought.
Such behavior from Sun Wukong is perfectly normal in battles outside.
So the Qiaofu paused, then addressed the other disciples who hadn't yet entered the arena. "Fellow disciples, be careful. What you are doing with that monkey is a battle of magic, not a demonstration of your Divine Ability."
"Don't be as careless as Junior Brother Ma Lei. Once you enter the arena, focus on protecting yourself before unleashing your Divine Ability. Don't boast."
His disciple nodded vigorously upon hearing this.
It's likely that Ma Lei's experience left them shaken.
Seeing that he and his junior brother had taken his words to heart, the Qiaofu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then, Junior Sister Linghua, it's your turn to go next."
This junior sister Linghua cultivates the great Divine Ability "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" from the Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability.
This great Divine Ability concerns the Way of Creation and the Divine Ability of Time, and should not have been comprehended by an ordinary person like Linghua.
In fact, it's not just Linghua; if we're being honest, among the disciples of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain right now, very few can truly comprehend the Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability on their own.
The supernatural powers they cultivated were all condensed by Zhunti himself into divine power seeds, which were then directly implanted into their true spirits. Therefore, these supernatural powers can be considered their innate supernatural powers.
The price they pay is that their True Spirits are damaged, and they lose all hope of attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit for the rest of their lives.
But for Zhunti, these disciples of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain were just consumables, and he didn't care about them.
Now that Linghua is on stage, she keeps her senior brother, the Qiaofu, in mind and doesn't say a word.
The first thing he did after taking the stage was to unleash his extraordinary Divine Ability to Flowers Bloom in an Instant.
However, due to her limited aptitude, Linghua's comprehension of the Heavenly Divine Ability, "Flowers Bloom in an Instant," was limited.
In Nuwa's hands, this technique can burn away Human Path and lifespan, condensing into pure life and Dao Fruit, a great supernatural Divine Ability.
In Linghua's hands, it was transformed into a magical planting Divine Ability.
Linghua carries many spiritual plants with her that possess offensive capabilities, and they are all brought to life by her Flowers Bloom in an Instant upon entering the arena.
Numerous spiritual plants brandished their vines and poisonous thorns, rushing straight towards Sun Wukong.
If Sun Wukong were to engage in battle in his true form as he did against Ma Lei, he would likely be poisoned by the poisonous thorns.
This was exactly what the Qiaofu had planned.
But Sun Wukong didn't charge straight at them as the Qiaofu expected. Looking at the spiritual plants rushing towards him, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Have you forgotten that I also play with fire?"
As Sun Wukong spoke, he waved his hand and summoned several Innate flames, such as the Solar True Fire and the Southern Bright Li Fire.
These Innate divine flames transformed into a sea of fire, spreading towards these spiritual plants and instantly engulfing them all. Linghua was so frightened that she fled from the arena in a panic.
Below the arena, silence reigned once more.
"These Innate divine flames..."
The Qiaofu stared at the numerous Innate flames on the arena, speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, he turned to another disciple and said, "Since he is wielding Innate flames, then I will need to trouble you, Junior Brother Jingtao, for now."
This disciple of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, known as Jingtao, cultivated the Heavenly Gang Great Divine Ability, which allowed him to Summon Wind and Rain, including Innate water and wind, and was most effective against Innate fire.
Upon hearing this, Jingtao promptly went up on stage and unleashed his Divine Ability to Summon Wind and Rain and rain.
A torrent of Innate Weak Water rained down from the sky, while a deadly black wind, capable of tearing apart souls and bones, howled towards Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was immediately amused by this scene.
"You people are really something else. Seeing that I used the Innate Divine Fire, you immediately tried to counter me with Innate Divine Wind and Innate Divine Water. Did you think I couldn't control these Innate Divine Water and Innate Divine Wind?"
After saying this, Sun Wukong addressed the wind and rain in the sky, saying directly, "The wind and rain are coming together."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind and rain in the sky suddenly stopped.
Then Sun Wukong shouted, "Go!"
The overwhelming wind and rain instantly submerged the Jingtao.
"Stop! We've lost this battle."
Seeing the tragic state of Jingtao, the Qiaofu immediately called for a halt; if he hadn't stopped him then, Jingtao might have perished.
After Jingtao was rescued by the other disciples of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, the Qiaofu personally stepped onto the arena.
"I will fight the final battle."
The Qiaofu is the only disciple of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain who has mastered the Heavenly Gang Great Divine Ability through his own cultivation. Therefore, he does not only know one Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability, but possesses a total of three.
Besides the Cosmic Shift of seasons, there are also the Mending the Heavens and Bathing the Sun, and the Universe in the Sleeve.
But by this time, Sun Wukong was already a bit tired from fighting. Seeing the Qiaofu come up on stage, Sun Wukong immediately used all his strength.
Earth, wind, water, and fire—all elements converged under Sun Wukong's attack, forming a small world in Sun Wukong palm, which Sun Wukong then struck directly at the Qiaofu.
The woodcutter was knocked off the stage on the spot and seriously injured, unable to use any supernatural powers or magic.
Sun Wukong left after the fight, while the remaining disciples of Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain cleaned up the mess. Looking at their unconscious senior brother, they all wore bitter expressions.
What's going on right now?
