One Sword

Chen Mobai stood on the arena and bowed to the voluptuous woman in red before him.

"I was quite surprised that you had the courage to come up here."

Ding Ying looked relaxed, her right hand already holding two Talisman, one green and one yellow, as she walked step by step toward Chen Mobai, slowly applying pressure.

"After all, we've reached the sixth round. Once I get past this round, I'll become True Disciple of the sect. No matter how strong my opponent is, I'm going to come up and give it a try."

Chen Mobai's humble words expressed his unwillingness to give up and his desire to fight hard for it.

Do you think you can beat me?

Upon hearing his words, Ding Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, as if she had heard some hilarious joke.

"Kindness!"

To this, Chen Mobai only gave one word in response.

"Kindness?"

Ding Ying stared wide-eyed, not understanding where his confidence came from.

He then snorted angrily and flung out the yellow Talisman in his hand.

With a deafening roar, a fireball half a meter in diameter appeared out of thin air and landed on Chen Mobai's head, about to fall and engulf him completely.

A pure blue flying sword soared into the sky, circled the fireball, and transformed it into countless flames.

It was as if a rain of fire had fallen on the entire arena, but Chen Mobai blocked it all with a Defensive Talisman.

"Without this Divine Wood Sword, you wouldn't even be able to withstand one of my attacks."

As Ding Ying sneered, another cyan Talisman emitted spiritual light and landed at her feet.

Then a sapling broke through the ground and grew into a two-meter-tall tree in the blink of an eye.

"This is..."

Chen Mobai noticed that the formation looked familiar, and Ding Ying's actions immediately made him realize why it looked familiar.

She slapped a Talisman into the tree, and a clear, bright light shone out, transforming into a cyan radiance that made the entire arena tremble. The light then condensed into a fist-sized pillar at the fingertips of Ding Ying's right hand.

"Heavenly Wood Divine Light!?"

Back on Green Light Island, their team was able to easily resist the Black Plague Bird flock and even force back the Second Grade Bird King only because they had the Spirit Tree by their side.

However, if Ding Ying could use "Heavenly Wood Divine Light" on her own, probably no one among the true disciples would be her match.

After calming down, Chen Mobai analyzed the situation and discovered the differences between the azure light and the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.

It appears to be a degraded version of Heavenly Wood Divine Light.

"You should be proud of being able to lose to my Second Grade Heavenly Wood Talisman."

Although Ding Ying spoke dismissively, she took it seriously in practice, after all, Chen Mobai had already Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Refining and also had Second-tier Flying Sword in hand.

The Heavenly Wood Talisman was already one of her trump cards. She raised her head, spread her right hand with five fingers pointing at Chen Mobai, and the ball of Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light began to rotate, forming a spiral spearhead.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai pressed down with his right sword finger, causing the Divine Wood Sword to hum. He was determined to give Ding Ying an unforgettable and humiliating defeat.

A drop of Liquid Spiritual Power surged from his dantian and entered the sword through his fingertips.

In an instant, the Divine Wood Sword shot out from his fingertips like a pure blue ribbon.

At the same time, Ding Ying also activated her Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light Spear.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound, the spiraling cyan spearhead, like a cannonball, twisted the air and even cracked the arena it passed through, carrying a terrifying power capable of shattering all defensive spiritual light, colliding with the tip of the Pure Azure Flying Sword controlled by Chen Mobai.

After a sharp roar, the Pure Azure Flying Sword, under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, emitted an even clearer spiritual light and unleashed an incomparably terrifying Divine Wood Sword Qi, forcefully breaking through Ding Ying's Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light in a head-on clash.

After slicing through the spiral spearhead formed by the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light, the sword energy continued its momentum, slashing straight down in front of Ding Ying.

One by one, bright red petals appeared out of thin air, transforming into a tough protective armor that blocked the terrifying Divine Wood Sword Qi at the critical moment.

With a loud "bang," the reinforced arena trembled violently.

Ding Ying's body involuntarily retreated again and again, and her Flying Flower Talisman Armor began to disappear one by one. Just as it was about to completely disintegrate, her expression changed drastically, and she did not hesitate to use a secret technique that consumed her vital energy to enhance her spiritual power.

A mixture of blue and red light flickered on her beautiful face, and in an instant, the blue spiritual energy was completely devoured by the red spiritual energy.

This is one way to use the Two Aspects Technique: feeding Fire Attribute spiritual power with Wood Attribute spiritual power for a short period of time, allowing the latter to increase its power threefold in an instant.

Using this as a trump card, Ding Ying was able to maintain his position as the true successor for more than ten years.

With a thought, the Flying Flower Talisman Armor, which was about to disintegrate under the attack of the Divine Wood Sword Qi, burst out with an even brighter red radiance, and the disappeared runes began to reappear, reorganizing into a complete set of defensive rune armor.

At that very moment, the Divine Wood Sword Qi erupted completely, its clear spiritual light spreading out, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and earth, transforming into a raging tide of sword energy that violently bombarded the Flying Flower Talisman Armor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Petal-shaped runes began to dim, dissipate, and disappear under the impact of the sword energy.

Ding Ying could no longer hold on, vomited blood, and flew off the stage.

"That's impossible!"

Ignoring the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, she struggled to her feet, her eyes wide, and looked at Chen Mobai, who had summoned the Pure Azure Flying Sword back to his side.

She'd faced the Divine Wood Sword before, how could it be this strong? Even her most powerful killing move, which she was so proud of, combined with the Flying Flower Talisman Armor, couldn't dispel this powerful sword energy.

If Chen Mobai hadn't sheathed his sword, she might have died on the spot.

What kind of power is this?!

"Senior Sister Ding, thank you for your guidance."

Chen Mobai remained calm. With a flick of his right hand, the Divine Wood Sword beside him trembled, like a swimming fish, and flew into the storage bag at his waist.

Having defeated his enemy in one move, and seeing Ding Ying's face filled with resentment, fear, and disbelief, Chen Mobai's initial frustration dissipated.

But then I felt a sense of emptiness followed by a feeling of utter boredom.

After waiting for a long time, it seemed that even the elder who presided over this round had not yet come to his senses. It was only after a long while that the result of Chen Mobai's victory was announced.

As he stepped off the stage, he saw Qi Rui with his mouth Xi Jinghuo in shock, and Zhuo Ming covering her mouth.

There was also Yuan Chiye, who was holding a wine glass and staring blankly in the restaurant next door, and Liu Wenbai, who was standing next to him with a shocked expression.

"Junior brother, from today onwards, your name will be known throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect, just like Uncle Hong He's."

Qi Rui looked on with emotion, recalling the days on Green Light Island when he was a naive boy, somewhat flustered, facing attacks from Demon Beast.

Although he had thought that Chen Mobai a member of the Divine Wood Sect, or even True Disciple, he never expected that in less than four years, this handsome young man would grow to such a level.

"Come on, we're happy today, let's drink to our hearts' content."

Chen Mobai said with a smile, calling out to Qi Rui and the others who had originally planned to comfort him after the defeat, and headed towards the restaurant they frequented.

Yuan Chiye happened to be there too.
