Suppress

Qiu Jinan was furious. "Yang Ding, you're usually such an honest guy, how come you're resorting to underhanded tactics now?"

How could he not have thought of that!

The Five Elements Sect also wanted to promote themselves, and this was such a good opportunity for the Heavenly Court Sect to praise their sect, but they missed it!

The Silent Daoist priest Ask Dao Sect every day, and now you can hear the Ask Dao Sect's storytelling in any teahouse. The Ask Dao Sect's popularity has increased exponentially.

Qiu Jin'an also wanted to do the same, but unfortunately the Five Elements Sect didn't have a talent like the Silent Daoist.

Luo Hongxia is alright. The Moon Laurel Immortal Palace is a semi-secluded sect, and all its members are female cultivators. It doesn't need any publicity to be more well-known than the Five Elements Sect and the Prison Suppressing Sect.

"Sect Master Lu, is it too late to promote our Five Elements Sect now? The reward is negotiable." Qiu Jin'an asked the Immortal Fairy beside him. It is generally believed in the cultivation world that the High Antiquity era was extremely powerful, and everyone is willing to associate themselves with the High Antiquity era. With the Heavenly Court Sect around, it's not like they can just say anything and be associated with the High Antiquity era.

The cooperation was negotiated by Lu Yang; the Immortal Fairy had no knowledge of such matters.

She sent a telepathic message to Lu Yang, who was fighting on the arena. Lu Yang pondered for a moment and then responded.

"Although I could take this opportunity to praise the Five Elements Sect, saying things like, 'As expected of the Five Elements Sect, which contains the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, and that our founding patriarch was a great talent,' the timing is wrong. It would feel very awkward and wouldn't be good for building the reputation of our Heavenly Court Sect. You should tell Sect Master Qiu that this time won't work, but we'll cooperate with the Five Elements Sect next time."

"Oh."

On the arena, Lu Yang was engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Tianzhi.

In the previous round, Yan Tianzhi fought tooth and nail to defeat Bai Ming in order to promote his work. So, he must have had some merits to defeat Bai Ming.

Taotie and Azure Dragon are great races of the Demon Race that transcend the mortal world. Originally, the Golden Core stage can only tattoo one type of battle pattern. However, Yan Tianzhi's physique is extremely compatible with the battle pattern cultivation method. After returning from the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony, he went into seclusion to comprehend it, bathed in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and comprehended the Azure Dragon battle pattern.

Compared to the Taotie battle pattern, the Azure Dragon battle pattern has only been around for a short time and is not yet fully mastered, but even so, it is enough to put pressure on Lu Yang.

"The power of battle runes is really hard to deal with." Lu Yang gritted his teeth. This wasn't just reading an advertisement; he genuinely felt that way.

Yan Tianzhi's fighting style is fierce, and he only engages in close combat with his physical body. Lu Yang is not a body cultivator, so he would be at a disadvantage if he fought Yan Tianzhi head-on.

According to cultivation methods, Lu Yang belongs to both magic cultivation and sword cultivation.

If only I could switch places with Meng Jingzhou, so that Meng Jingzhou could fight Yan Tianzhi and I could fight Lan Ting, then both of us could advance.

Several water spheres appeared behind Yan Tianzhi; the Azure Dragon Palm Water was the power of the Azure Dragon Battle Mark.

The water sphere sharpened at both ends, transforming into jets of water needles that pierced towards Lu Yang.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Stunning Swan!" Lu Yang casually gave the sword move a name, but what he was actually using was the "Slaying Technique".

The sword techniques at this level are actually quite similar, with no major differences; the only difference is the name.

Despite Mingtai's exceptional Swordsmanship and his rampage in the early stages of the Golden Core, displaying extremely refined sword techniques, they can all be summarized into basic sword techniques such as "Slash Technique," "Break Technique," and "Point Technique" learned by Lu Yang.

As long as one doesn't use moves with obvious characteristics like "one sword transforms into ten thousand swords," "ten thousand swords return to their origin," or "sword opens the heavenly gate," sword cultivators' moves are all pretty much the same. The comprehension of the sword path is what determines the strength of basic sword moves.

The "Slash" technique shattered the water needles, and the moment the water needles came into contact with the Sword Qi, they turned into water vapor, filling the arena.

"Open the heavens!"

Lu Yang then casually composed a sword move, its Sword Qi energy majestic and imposing, upright and peaceful, possessing the might of an invincible warrior.

Yan Tianzhi, who originally intended to use the water mist to approach Lu Yang, felt a chill run down his spine and sensed a strong threat.

This is a move you can't withstand physically.

"Shield Ghost!"

The shield-wielding Ghost King bared its fangs and claws, blocking Yan Tianzhi's path. The Ghost King, formed from battle runes, clashed with the sharp sword. The collision was silent, yet it generated a thousand layers of air waves, dispersing the water vapor that filled the arena.

Shield Demon, this is Yan Tianzhi's first battle rune. It has no offensive capabilities, but instead provides an impenetrable defense against opponents of the same level.

Yan Tianzhi's pupils contracted slightly. He saw cracks appear on the shield demon, which was actually struggling to withstand the sword strike.

As expected of High Antiquity genius, he is indeed powerful.

Yan Tianzhi was unaware of Lu Yang's identity.

"Receive!"

Yan Tianzhi withdrew the Shield Ghost, which transformed into a battle rune and was branded onto his arm. His arm bore some of the damage to the battle rune, and blood immediately flowed freely.

Fortunately, he only suffered equal damage; otherwise, if the damage had been transferred, his arm would have been pierced through by the Sword Qi.

Yan Tianzhi summoned the Taotie and Azure Dragon battle runes again, preparing to launch another attack.

Lu Yang scratched his cheek and sheathed his sword. "This fight will never end. Forget it, let's try out the moves we just learned."

"Town!"

A colossal, golden statue descended from the sky, enveloping Yan Tianzhi as he prepared to charge!

Bang!

Yan Tianzhi was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the statue and bumped his head against the inner wall of the statue, resulting in a large bump on his head.

The two battle runes clashed with the statue, which was as heavy as a mountain. The impact of the runes only caused the statue to sway slightly.

On the contrary, the shockwave from the collision caused Yan Tianzhi to temporarily lose his hearing.

"What's this?!"

Even the most knowledgeable audience members failed to recognize this move.

"It feels like a Buddhist golden statue, sixteen feet tall."

"Stop talking nonsense. Who would have their Golden Body so far away from the caster? It must be High Antiquity, lost technique."

"Didn't you hear him say the word 'town' just now? Maybe this is the High Antiquity, lost art of making words come true!"

"What!"

Yan Tianzhi wanted to dig a hole and crawl out from underneath, but unfortunately the arena was reinforced with Law Power, and even a battle at the Spirit Transformation stage could not damage the arena, extinguishing his last hope.

Lu Yang wasn't so weak that he couldn't even move his own golden body. Taking advantage of Yan Tianzhi's momentary daze and lack of other options, he kicked his own golden body over, and the golden body, along with Yan Tianzhi, tumbled off the stage.

Lu Yang wins.

Young Master Lu fought his way through the competition and finally arrived at the finals, where he would face his lifelong nemesis, Meng Jingzhou.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged to recover the spiritual energy he had just consumed, and the final match officially began.

Meng Jingzhou couldn't wait to jump onto the ring.

He chuckled twice, rubbing his hands together. "Hehe, finally it's my turn."

Having completed his studies under Qiu Jin'an, he finally had the opportunity to put his skills to good use and teach the unruly Lu Yang a lesson.

Being a proxy leader isn't all that great; you still get beaten up if you're supposed to!

"Meng Jingzhou of the Ask Dao Sect."

"The young leader of the Heavenly Court Sect."

"Let's talk this over. You cooperate with me in this performance, and I'll do the same for you next time," Lu Yang kindly advised via telepathy. He reasoned that fellow disciples should avoid fighting if possible, as it could damage their unity.

"You say you won't fight, but I'm telling you, I'm going to beat you up today!" Meng Jingzhou wasn't about to let go of the opportunity to fight Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed and had to rephrase it, "Then, as the acting Sect Master, I order you to admit defeat."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

"Should we discuss this again?"

The second update will be at 11 PM.
