Every Means Unleashed
Chen Mobai crossed the underground currents and flew to the square where the Student Union was located.
What was once a bustling place is now deserted and silent.
Only one person was waiting for him.
Chen Mobai landed and looked at Zuoqiu Shi. He saw that Zuo Qiushi was burly, with a square face and no eyebrows. His hair was half red and half black and he was wearing Dance Weapon Red Black Robe.
A large Ring-Pommel Broadsword was stuck in the ground, supported by his right hand. His whole body seemed to be cast in bronze and iron, making him appear exceptionally robust.
"You've arrived."
Zuoqiu Shi didn't utter the harsh words Chen Mobai had imagined; he simply said something calmly.
"I have long admired your name, guild master. The reason I challenged you to a duel is simply to test my own strength."
Seeing his attitude, Chen Mobai naturally treated him with courtesy and explained his reasons for doing so from the beginning.
"Oh, you want to know my strength? Do you also know about ' Lesser Red Heaven '?"
"Lesser Red Heaven! What is it?"
The unfamiliar terms in Zuoqiu Shi's words surprised Chen Mobai. What important matter was this?
"One of the things that will be launched for the Millennium Celebration of Chicheng Cave Heaven is that a big shot from the Immortal Sect came here to oversee the affairs of Lesser Red Heaven. According to my teacher's guess, it may be related to another world."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned slightly. Due to the scarcity of resources on Earth Origin Star, in order to support so many cultivators, the Immortal Sect would launch World Opening War every so often.
The highest level of World Opening War is "World Opening".
The last war that World Opening- level conflict was two thousand years ago, when the Immortal Sect wiped out half of its population and was on the verge of being invaded by beings from Other World onto Earth Origin Star.
Although they ultimately won, it was only a Pyrrhic victory.
"Any other news?"
Chen Mobai couldn't help but ask, and Zuoqiu Shi across from him was stunned.
"I invited you here to fight, not to chat."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been fascinated by World Opening War since I was a child, so when I heard that it was possible to World Opening, I couldn't help myself."
Zuoqiu Shi was too lazy to say anything more, so he drew his Ring-Pommel Broadsword.
The moment the blade was drawn, it shone with a cold light. It was about 1.3 meters long, slender and straight, with an arc at the tip of the blade. With each swing, the blade's light illuminated half of the square.
"Why are you alone? Where are the other members of the Student Union?"
At this moment, Chen Mobai noticed a problem: there were only the two of them in the square.
"To avoid revealing the exact outcome of the battle, it's easier to operate with just the two of us."
After saying something inexplicable, Zuoqiu Shi gripped his sword and unleashed a dazzling blade of light, like a crescent moon piercing the sky, sharp and whistling.
With a whoosh, Chen Mobai said nothing more. The Divine Wood Sword out from his sleeve, shattering the blade's edge, and like a swimming fish, it sped towards its opponent with Rainbow of Sword Qi.
Sword-like rainbows fell like rain, covering the sky and the earth.
However, Zuoqiu Shi merely held his longsword horizontally and vertically, and the resulting cross-shaped blade light cleaved through the oncoming sword rainbow.
Should we test the waters first?
From Hua Zijing and the others, Zuoqiu Shi naturally knew that Chen Mobai was a powerful Sword Cultivator who had mastered the Sword Rainbow Light Splitting. However, the fact that he was now using the Sword Rainbow made him frown slightly.
"Then I'll make the first move."
Zuoqiu Shi gripped the knife in his right hand and suddenly made a hand seal with his left. Chen Mobai then felt the surrounding Fire Spiritual Qi become active, and in an instant, a sea of fire ignited around him.
The "Flame Stabilization Art" was used, and the dark red sea of fire that was about to engulf him suddenly stopped in place. Then, as if controlled by Chen Mobai, it condensed into a crimson bolt of lightning in his palm.
Profound Fire Divine Thunder Technique! After a period of training, Chen Mobai had mastered this Thunder Method, but this was the first time he had used it against an opponent, and luckily, the opponent was of considerable strength.
Amidst the thunderous roar, a bolt of lightning streaked across the void, carrying a faint smell of burning. It struck Zuoqiu Shi's head, breaking through three defensive spells he had cast, but was ultimately blocked by the spiritual light emanating from his Dance Weapon Red Black Robe, and vanished without a trace.
But at that moment, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.
After testing the man's strength three times, he had a general idea of his opponent's abilities.
After all, he had only been cultivating for a short time, and the power of his spells was not strong. They posed no threat to Zuoqiu Shi at all.
As expected, the only technique he could use to ignore the difference in cultivation level was his Sword Rainbow Light Splitting.
Thinking that he would soon be going back to hear Meng Huang'er sing, Chen Mobai stopped holding back and used his strongest techniques.
A brilliant, deep purple Sword Light flashed and shot out from his palm, centered on the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. Like a laser beam piercing the sky, it sliced through the twelve blade beams unleashed by Zuoqiu Shi. Its momentum continued, even penetrating the protective aura of Dance Weapon Red Black Robe.
This was the first time Chen Mobai's Sword Light had been blocked.
I don't know if Zuoqiu Shi is really that powerful, or if this Dao Academy's defensive robe is that strong.
As the blade flashed, Zuoqiu Shi charged straight at Chen Mobai, braving the Sword Light.
The Azure Scale Armguard lit up, and countless dark blue spots flew out from the sleeves, transforming into a solid shield that blocked the opponent's longsword.
At the same time, Chen Mobai stretched out his left hand, which was behind his back, and grasped a Gold Jade Axe, seemingly waiting for Zuoqiu Shi to come to him.
As the Axe fell, the Dance Weapon Red Black Robe, facing the combined attack of the two magical Magic Artifact, finally reached their limit in terms of the protective aura.
Zuoqiu Shi swung his sword, trying to block the Gold Jade Axe.
But then he found his wrist tightened, and for a moment he couldn't pull the knife back.
Looking down, he saw that patches of blue scales had somehow attached themselves to the bronze skin from his wrists to his elbows. At the crucial moment, they activated a paralyzing spiritual power, creating an opening for him.
Just as the Gold Jade Axe was about to strike, Zuoqiu Shi had no choice but to open his mouth and spit out a fiery red bead.
With a loud bang, Chen Mobai felt as if his hand holding the Axe had been subjected to a huge impact. The pain in his tiger's mouth made him unable to help but let go, allowing the Axe to fly into the air and stick into the top of the cave Mountain Wall.
At this point, he had already left the front gate wide open.
Zuoqiu Shi shouted, unleashing a burst of spiritual power far exceeding Chen Mobai's. As he shattered the blue scales on his arm, he reversed the blades with both hands and slashed at Chen Mobai's shoulder and chest with the back of the blades.
At the crucial moment of victory or defeat, Chen Mobai's eyes suddenly shone with a clear, bright light, and his Spiritual Sense was activated to its limit.
Zuoqiu Shi, as expected of Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer expert who has consistently held the top spot among students at the Wuqi Dao Academy, possesses three magical Magic Artifact Spell Duel skills that are far superior to others, making him the strongest opponent Chen Mobai has ever encountered in his life.
If he has already Melding Spirit Returning to One at this point, he can use his Spiritual Sense to unleash the "Spirit Controlling Slash," distracting the opponent's mind and allowing them to dodge the attack.
Unfortunately, his relationship with Meng Huang'er hadn't been fully developed yet, so he didn't listen to many songs.
Even so, Chen Mobai still has one trump card.
A crimson flame sword aura erupted behind him, as if another powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was lying in ambush, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stab at Zuoqiu Shi's brow.
This strike will certainly render Chen Mobai unable to fight, but Zuoqiu Shi will also be seriously injured by this sword.
Since it was merely a friendly exchange, Zuoqiu Shi naturally made the safest choice.
With a flick of his wrist, he reversed the direction of the blade, deflecting the fiery sword energy while simultaneously kicking Chen Mobai in the chest.
His shoes were also Second Grade Magic Artifact, called "Cloud Treading Boots," which, in addition to allowing him to fly, also possessed considerable power.
If this kick lands, even a body cultivator would cough up a mouthful of blood.
But Chen Mobai had already taken this opportunity to regain control of his body. He stretched out his right hand, and as the arm guard he was wearing reabsorbed the scales, its Cold Iron nature blocked the Cloud Treading Boots.
With a clang.
After an extremely dull sound, the two figures were simultaneously forced back.
At this moment, under Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense control, the two flying swords, the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Divine Wood Sword, had once again transformed into Sword Light and sword rainbow.
The Rainbow of Sword Qi of the Divine Wood Sword crisscrossed into a net, slashing towards Zuoqiu Shi.
The latter's figure flew backward in mid-air, but the Cloud Treading Boots flashed with spiritual light. Accompanied by the attack of the Divine Wood Sword, his body constantly adjusted its posture, and the long sword in his hand was wielded in a very short time, defending without leaving any gaps.
"This guy is even more amazing than I imagined."
Seeing this, Chen Mobai finally made up his mind and activated the "Sun Ascension Technique".
He opened his mouth and exhaled his Primordial Yang Qi towards the Flying Sparrow Hairpin hairpin in mid-air Azure Sun Fire Seed, which was originally integrated with the small flying sword, instantly burned fiercely as if it had been doused with oil.
The color has also changed from deep purple to half purple and half blue.
The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, imbued with the Purple Azure Fire Seed, further enhanced the already incredibly sharp Purple Fire Sword Light to an even higher level.
A dazzling light appeared! Suddenly, a Purple Sun appeared in this enormous cave that had existed for countless millennia, illuminating all the darkness. It carried a terrifying sword intent capable of cutting down everything and flew to the top of Zuoqiu Shi's head, who had just landed.
The latter's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene.
His face turned pale at first, then flushed red, as if he had cast some kind of spell to stimulate his potential, and his already vigorous Spiritual Mechanism was instantly boosted to another level.
Then, he spat out the same Crimson Spirit Pearl that had knocked away the Gold Jade Axe and caused Chen Mobai's body to become uncontrollable, but this time it revealed its true power.
The fiery red light shone brightly, carrying a trace of the Great Dao True Intent, and collided with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.
Amidst the thunderous roar.
Zuoqiu Shi, who was at the center of the collision between the two forces, was sent flying backward again, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Chen Mobai used the little spiritual power he had left to activate the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, using the power of this Magic Artifact to envelop his entire body, blocking the aftershocks, while simultaneously activating his Spiritual Sense.
The Formless Puppet, hidden in the shadows, darted out like a shadow.
"Cough cough..."
Half an hour later, the aftershocks of the collision between the spirit pearl and the Sword Light finally dissipated. Zuoqiu Shi waved his wide sleeves, wiping away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth and clearing away the surrounding dust.
Gradually, Chen Mobai's figure appeared in his eyes.
As the wisps of Misty Cloud Qi dissipated, he was revealed to be unharmed and composed.
In comparison, although Zuoqiu Shi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in time and his Dance Weapon Red Black Robe remained spotless, his overall demeanor was somewhat disordered.
However, as the top person in the Dao Academy in recent years, he had no intention of admitting defeat so easily.
Although using Third Tier Magic Tool was a bit unfair, Zuoqiu Shi was willing to temporarily set aside his pride in the face of failure.
"You lost."
But just as Zuoqiu Shi was about to unleash the true power of his Fire Spirit Pearl, Chen Mobai's voice rang out.
"Lost? Impossible..."
Just as Zuoqiu Shi was retorting, he felt a chilling coldness on his back, as if a sharp sword was pressed against his back, making him dare not move.
He cheated? And he called in other accomplices.
The thought immediately flashed through Zuoqiu Shi's mind.
Immediately, he remembered that he had clearly cornered Chen Mobai, but it was a mysterious fiery Sword Light light from behind that forced him to turn his blade around and defend, thus missing the chance to win.
"I give up, what happened?"
At this point, Zuoqiu Shi was not a sore loser. He put down his long sword and dispersed the Liquid Spiritual Power that he had already gathered. He stared directly into Chen Mobai and bright Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye.
"Didn't you inquire about my reputation before you fought me?"
Chen Mobai, however, asked a question out of curiosity.
"I've inquired. You're the number one person in the Class 5012 besides Zhongli Tianyu — Talisman First, Sword Training First, Puppetry First..."
Zuoqiu Shi suddenly stopped when he said the last three words.
His eyes widened slowly, and he finally understood.
"I see."
Ignoring the flying sword pressed against his back, Zuoqiu Shi turned around and indeed saw the Formless Puppet holding the Divine Wood Sword, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Who would notice that you, a Sword Cultivator, are also a Puppetry?"
"You're quite good. If you hadn't underestimated me at the beginning, you might have been able to beat me."
Chen Mobai's voice came from Zuoqiu Shi. He snapped his fingers, Formless Puppet puppet sheathed its sword, jumped up, and landed beside him.
"I thought I valued you highly and had used all my strength, so why do you think I underestimated you?"
Zuoqiu Shi turned around again, looked directly at Chen Mobai, and asked with some confusion.
"Your bead is Third Tier Magic Tool, isn't it?"
Chen Mobai pointed to the Fire Spirit Pearl, which had been motionless since colliding with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in mid-air.
At first I didn't notice, but now that I think about it, a magic weapon that can withstand Second Grade Gold Jade Axe and cause him to lose control of his body must be Third Grade Magic Artifact.
Moreover, everyone in the Wuqi Dao Academy knows that Zuoqiu Shi cultivates the Cantong Qi and possesses a Third Grade Comprehend Together Magic Artifact.
"That's right, but a loss is a loss. Your Formless Puppet is also Third Grade Puppetry. If you had activated it from the beginning, even if I had used the true power of the Fire Spirit Pearl to fight two of you, I might not have been a match for you."
Zuoqiu Shi's demeanor was much better than Chen Mobai had imagined; he took the initiative to admit his defeat.
"It's different. Because of the Spirit Stone, my Formless Puppet only has the power of three strikes. If we were to do it again, you should win."
Chen Mobai shook his head, but what he said was only half true. What was placed in the Formless Puppet was indeed a Mid-grade Spirit Stone, with only the power of three strikes.
If he disregards the loss of that High-grade Spirit Stone, the power that this Formless Puppet can unleash should not be inferior to Zuoqiu Shi's Third Tier Magic Tool.
"I'm not someone who can't afford to lose. I just graduated this year, and I was wondering who would take over. Are you interested?"
After losing, Zuoqiu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and made an invitation that surprised Chen Mobai.
"Me? Student Union? Isn't that a bit too casual?"
"It's alright, as long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."
Chen Mobai was not interested in joining the Student Union because he didn't want to do trivial things.
But if you were to make him the president directly, it might not be out of the question.
