Overlord Spear Wu Zhao
After Zhuge Xiang entered the Return to Simplicity Realm, what ability did the system activate? The ability of the Data Eye. Although this ability cannot see much more detailed information, in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, Tian Lingshan's information at the Divine Ability Stage First Layer was clearly visible. No wonder she dared to challenge him; it turned out that she had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Deity Transformation stage.
"Divine Ability Stage?" Zhuge Xiang's words caused the Cultivator of the cultivators on Sword Peak to change slightly. They all looked at Tian Lingshan in shock. Judging from her appearance, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old? Even younger than Zhuge Xiang, and she had actually entered the Deity Transformation Realm?
All those present were talents from Yanling Commandery, but only a handful had actually reached the Deity Transformation stage before the age of thirty. Among them, only Yin Wugu, Ling Haiyan, and Gu Siqi were known to the public.
Yin Wugu Flying Sword Message, inviting Tian Lingshan over because of her young age yet extraordinary cultivation level. However, he did not expect that after the Ancient Qin Battlefield, Tian Lingshan would actually enter the Deity Transformation stage.
When Zhuge Xiang revealed her strength in a single sentence, Tian Lingshan's expression changed slightly. However, she showed no sign of backing down. Her eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang as she said, "I know your strength is very strong, comparable to the Deity Transformation stage, but I, Tian Lingshan, am different from ordinary Deity Transformation stage cultivators. Defeating me will not be so easy."
As she spoke, Tian Lingshan's cultivation, which belonged to the Deity Transformation stage, was no longer suppressed and erupted completely. The wind and clouds surged, and she manipulated the power of Heaven and Earth for her own use. The fluctuations of the primordial Vital Energy in the Heaven and Earth made the Cultivator on Sword Peak widen their eyes.
Unexpectedly, Tian Lingshan had actually reached the Deity Transformation at the age of fifteen or sixteen. These Cultivator, who had considered themselves geniuses, were suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of defeat.
"Deity Transformation stage? Hehe..." Sensing Tian Lingshan's aura belonging to the Deity Transformation stage, Zhuge Xiang's heart also became excited. Others might be afraid of being entangled by a powerful opponent, but Zhuge Xiang was the opposite. When Tian Lingshan escaped that day, Zhuge Xiang was also hoping that she would become stronger and come back to find him. Sure enough, his expectations came true.
"Deity Transformation stage? Haha, I also want to test how much strength Deity Transformation stage Cultivator really has..." However, before Zhuge Xiang could make a move, suddenly, a sharp beam of light, as if shooting from beyond the sky, carrying an incomparably powerful aura, shot towards Tian Lingshan.
Bite!
Tian Lingshan made her move, drawing upon the power of Heaven and Earth. Her nimble emerald-green Short Sword easily blocked the attack. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the attacker was a woman wielding a golden Coiled Dragon Spear, exuding an unparalleled aura of power.
The woman who appeared appeared to be in her early twenties, with flowing black hair that gave her an untamed air. She wore a suit of silver metal armor, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, like a female war goddess. The aura she exuded was so powerful that it was difficult to resist her.
"Wu Zhao, Tenth Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, Golden Boss Rank".
Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye swept over the woman who appeared, and the information he obtained surprised him.
Wu Zhao, Zhuge Xiang had fought with her before. Zhuge Xiang still remembered that she had cultivated for twelve years. For the first six years, her cultivation progressed at a snail's pace, making her seem like a waste. However, she grew stronger with each battle, confirming her talent as Battle Genius. Unexpectedly, when they met again after several years, her cultivation had reached the Return to Simplicity Realm Peak, and she was even Golden Boss Rank expert.
Boss-level – Zhuge Xiang had only ever seen such a rating on the Poison Emperor. Other Cultivator, no matter how strong, were only rated as Elite level. This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had ever seen a boss-level Cultivator. Indeed, he wasn't the only one who had grown in the past few years.
"Overlord Spear, Wu Zhao!" Upon seeing the appearance of the Wu Zhao, with its majestic and heroic demeanor reminiscent of a female war goddess, many people exclaimed in surprise, and quite a few men even looked on with infatuation.
With her beautiful face and strength that rivals any Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao is not as delicate, charming, or gentle as most women. However, her heroic bearing has a unique charm. Moreover, in the Cultivation World, strength is always more important than appearance.
"I received the Flying Sword Message and have tried my best to get here, but it seems I'm a little late. I'll spar with you as an apology," Wu Zhao said, his expression unchanged as he watched Tian Lingshan block his attack.
"Coiled Dragon Tail Sweep!" As he spoke, Wu Zhao twisted his wrist, and the golden dragon Spear in his hand emitted a sharp, clear sound. With soaring Spear Intent, the Spear danced in an arc, sweeping towards Tian Lingshan with unparalleled power. The Overlord Spear refers to Wu Zhao's Spear Arts, which is full of unmatched domineering intent.
Buzz...
As Wu Zhao unleashed his Spear Intent, he was like a king among spears, causing the Spear in the hands of the Cultivator present to hum softly, carrying an air of submission. The Overlord Spear, with its Spear Intent unleashed, was indeed like an overlord descending to earth, with all spears bowing in submission.
Looking at the trembling Spear in his hand, Zhang Kuang's eyes were filled not only with intense fighting spirit but also with deep shock. Even though he had comprehended the Spear Intent, the Spear in Zhang Kuang's hand was like a proud lone wolf suppressed by a king. Although it was trying its best to resist, it still could not change its fate of being suppressed. Although unwilling, Zhang Kuang had to admit that in the face of Wu Zhao's domineering Spear Intent, his spear could only resist with all its might.
"Hmph! My opponent is Zhuge Xiang! If you want to find an opponent, go find someone else..." If Wu Zhao's Spear Intent was filled with the domineering aura of ruling the world, then Tian Lingshan's Sword Intent was filled with a light and agile spirit, like an invisible and intangible wind. Her Short Sword trembled repeatedly, and a series of light and agile Sword Intent were like a gentle breeze.
"Zhuge Xiang! I must defeat him! If you want to defeat him, you must defeat me first!" The Overlord Spear Wu Zhao not only exudes an aura of domineering power in its Spear Arts, but also in its words and actions, giving off an irresistible domineering presence. The Panlong Spear points directly at Tian Lingshan, unafraid of her cultivation level of the Divine Ability Stage.
With her swordsmanship characterized by its lightness and agility, Tian Lingshan's Swordsmanship can be said to have brought this phrase to its extreme. With the blessing of the power of Heaven and Earth, her sword has an unparalleled power. The whistling sword wind is not just the wind between Heaven and Earth and earth, but is composed of thousands of fine sword Sword Qi.
The spear moves like a dragon, and Wu Zhao's Spear Arts perfectly embodies this saying. The Overlord Spear fully expresses the characteristics of Wu Zhao's Spear Arts. Although it lacks the support of the power of Heaven and Earth and earth, Wu Zhao's spear still gives people a feeling of invincibility and unstoppable advance. With the strength of one person, the power of Wu Zhao's Spear Arts is no less than that of a sword that is supported by the power of Heaven and Earth and earth.
The spear's light shone brightly, like Mount Tai Crushes Down pressing down, overwhelming Sword Qi skill with sheer force. The sword energy splashed everywhere, filled with an aura of cutting through everything, penetrating every crevice. The battle between Wu Zhao and Tian Lingshan was a contest between two extremes: one side pushing the limits of "strength," and the other pushing the limits of "skill." The two fought with remarkable skill and were evenly matched.
They fought for the time it takes to drink half Half a Tea Interval of tea. The power of Wu Zhao's Coiled Dragon Spear made Tian Lingshan secretly startled. After all, this was just a test before the Dragon Phoenix Ranking. Tian Lingshan was unwilling to suffer a mutual defeat. She snorted coldly, and a cloud of Sword Qi retreated behind Wu Zhao.
With a series of quick steps, her body moving like a swift swan, Tian Lingshan returned to her seat. "The Overlord Spear Wu Zhao is indeed worthy of its reputation. Let's end it here for today. I hope that when it comes to the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, you won't disappoint me when it comes to real combat."
"What I want to say is quite the opposite..." Seeing Tian Lingshan retreat, Wu Zhao had no intention of continuing the fight. He sheathed his Spear behind him, his bright eyes like spears, and said, "Your cultivation at the Deity Transformation stage is nothing more than this, which greatly disappoints me. If your strength is only this much on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Tian Lingshan and Wu Zhao were initially at odds, but after stopping their physical confrontation, they resumed their verbal sparring. Both being exceptionally beautiful, their charisma was quite unique.
"Alright, you two, this is just a friendly sparring match before the Dragon Phoenix Ranking begins. Don't take it to heart. Is there anyone else who wants to participate?" As the host of the Banquet, Yin Wugu had no choice but to step forward and act as a peacemaker. He then looked at everyone present and asked, changing the subject.
Yin Wugu's words plunged the entire Sword Peak into an eerie silence. Although it was just a friendly spar, the intensity of the battle was gradually escalating. After the battle between Wu Zhao and Tian Lingshan, how could anyone weaker dare to go up and embarrass themselves?
Wu Zhao sheathed his Coiled Dragon Spear, ignoring the stares of those around him, and took the lead, sitting down beside Zhuge Xiang. His bright eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang, his fighting spirit undisguised. "So you've come to the Dragon Phoenix Ranking. This time, I will defeat you rightfully."
"I'm really looking forward to it..." Zhuge Xiang smiled, a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart. The more powerful individuals wanted to challenge him, the happier Zhuge Xiang became, a genuine joy from the bottom of his heart.
With Wu Zhao also taking his seat, a vacuum formed on Sword Peak. Blood Heart Sword Pei Yingxiao, God of Slaughter Zhuge Xiang, Overlord Spear Wu Zhao —these three were either renowned masters at the height of their power or had just proven their strength. Add to that Zhang Kuang, and who would dare sit here?
Yin Wugu asked three times in a row, but no one stepped forward. Just as he was in a dilemma, Gu Siqi was sitting next to Yin Wugu, stood up, his eyes like lightning, staring intently at Zhuge Xiang, and said, "Just now, Miss Tian challenged Junior Brother Zhuge, which made me look forward to it, but an accident happened. I believe there are quite a few people here who are curious about Junior Brother Zhuge's strength. How about I throw out a brick to start the discussion?"
"Well, you two are both Asura Sect Disciples, so sparring won't hurt your relationship," Gu Siqi said, trying to salvage the situation a bit. In addition, Yin Wugu was also very curious about Zhuge Xiang's strength, so he nodded and said.
Gu Siqi's words invigorated the people on Sword Peak. They had just been disappointed when Zhuge Xiang was about to make a move but was stopped by Wu Zhao, but now the situation had taken an unexpected turn. (To be continued...)
