Lu Qiulong
The true form of Qing Nü awoke in a high-tech chair.
She breathed softly and loosened her grip on her hands.
"You're really unlucky. After a ten-game winning streak, you ran into that monster."
A glass of water was handed to Qing Nü, and a mature woman wearing a white coat and glasses saw the battle scene playing on the screen on the opposite wall.
This is one of the benefits of the Sky Mending Group.
After each battle, the Super Brain helps them analyze the reasons for victory and defeat, listing various details they had not considered. While improving everyone's Spell Duel abilities, it also cultivates their higher-level combat awareness.
"I knew he was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong."
Qing Nü took the water and drank it all in one gulp, seemingly trying to dispel the restlessness caused by the burning of the Projection Avatar due to being extinguished by the Purple Fire Sword Light.
"This person is a peerless sword genius, one in a thousand years. He comprehended the Sword Rainbow Light Splitting at the first level of Foundation Establishment. I wonder how the Wuqi Dao Academy cultivated such a person?"
The mature woman is Zhongli Yi, the deputy leader of the Sky Mending Group Four. She also created an account in the Lesser Red Heaven. Unfortunately, despite her expertise in medicine and poisons, her performance was below average in an environment where spiritual power and magic were the only means of survival.
I was once lucky enough to be matched with Chen Mobai, and I was instantly killed by his sword.
"He probably figured it out himself. I wonder if he can break the record set by Ancestor Yuanyang."
After drinking the water, Qing Nü calmed herself down for a while and finally managed to remove the burning sensation from her Sea of Consciousness caused by the destruction of the Projection Avatar. She stood up and clicked on the screen to watch Chen Mobai's next battle.
"It's going to be tough. They actually matched this guy in."
At this moment, Zhongli Yi saw Chen Mobai's next opponent, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and sigh.
He was a man with yellowish skin, large hands and feet, and a rugged face.
Who is this person?
Qing Nü knew that although Zhongli Yi's Spell Duel skills were average, she was very familiar with some of the outstanding talents of the immortal Immortal Sect because she came from the Zhongli Clan and was in the Sky Mending Group.
She had personally experienced Chen Mobai's strength, but when she saw that man, she thought he might lose.
Therefore, it is quite obvious that this person's background and strength are extraordinary.
"He is Lu Qiulong!"
Upon hearing this name, Qing Nü's eyes widened in shock.
It was him.
After seeing Qing Nü off, Chen Mobai sighed softly.
This is a hurdle that only Qing Nü can overcome on her own.
He shook his head, cleared his mind, and clicked the match button again.
A man who looked a bit older than his age appeared in front of him.
With his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye activated, Chen Mobai had already seen through his cultivation level.
The Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.
However, his Qi and Blood were more vigorous than ordinary people, as if they were burning. When he tried to see more clearly, he found that his opponent's Qi and Blood and qi suddenly transformed into a majestic, colorful worm, which opened its blood-red maw and rushed into Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness along his gaze.
Roar! Caught off guard, a magnificent, almost tangible, striped tiger appeared before the Green Wutong Sapling from which he had just Splitting Spirit Manifesting Thought.
Its sharp, white teeth opened, about to bite off the Green Wutong Sapling.
Clang!
A metallic clang, like the sound of a sword being drawn, rang out. A green sprout fell, transforming into an invisible blade that slashed through the air, instantly piercing the center of the tiger's forehead between the characters for "king".
Under the Spirit Controlling Slash, the illusory ferocious tiger formed from the condensation of Qi and Blood and murderous intent vanished like a bubble into Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.
But this sudden movement jolted Chen Mobai, who had been somewhat relaxed, back into high spirits.
At this point, due to his terrifying record, the only people he can be matched with, besides those who are also on a winning streak, are a small group of the most outstanding people in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
These people all possess terrifying Spell Duel skills and have already made a name for themselves in the Lesser Red Heaven.
"Lu Qiulong".
The big man gave his name, and Chen Mobai nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
"You don't know who I am?"
Seeing that Chen Mobai remained calm upon hearing his name, Lu Qiulong was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Are you famous?
Chen Mobai had never heard of Lu Qiulong before. In the Immortal Sect, he was a true and devoted cultivator. Apart from going to the Sky River Realm to collect resources, he studied and cultivated at Chicheng Mountain.
They really are oblivious to what's going on outside their window.
"Oh no, how did the guild leader end up with this guy!"
Outside, the members of the Wuqi Dao Academy Student Union, who had been paying close attention to Chen Mobai, frowned when they saw Chen Mobai's opponent. Even Ming Yu, who had always revered Chen Mobai, couldn't help but frown.
"I think he's only at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer. Old Chen has probably killed a dozen or so at the fifth level with his sword. Is this person really that frightening to you?"
Ming Yihua, who had come along to watch the show on the big screen, scratched his head, puzzled by the way the Student Union looked on high alert.
"This person is the Chief Graduate of the True Spirit Academy. Although his cultivation level is average, his companion beast is a Second Grade peak Fierce Tiger. Its combat strength is so strong that it ranks among the top even in the late Foundation Establishment stage."
Hua Zijing looked worried.
"Then there's even less to fear. Lesser Red Heaven Magic Artifact can't even be brought in, let alone spirit beasts. Old Chen is bound to win."
Ming Yihua's opinion differed from that of the Student Union members.
"The True Spirit Academy is different. If you know that your opponent is very strong, you can absorb the power of your companion beast in advance, even at the cost of mental exhaustion."
Lu Tiansuan voiced everyone's concerns, and Ming Yihua couldn't help but gasp upon hearing it.
If that's the case, Chen Mobai might actually be no match for him.
Now all we can do is pray that Lu Qiulong didn't do that.
Chen Mobai was unaware of this.
After his opponent was Lu Qiulong, almost all the cultivators from the Immortal Sect who were watching Lesser Red Heaven's live stream turned their attention to watch this fierce battle between them.
At that moment, the top trending topic on all portal websites and Forum was this Spell Duel.
"Are you from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy or True Spirit Academy?"
Chen Mobai asked Lu Qiulong, "Among the Immortal Sect, these two are the most famous for their beast taming abilities."
"True Spirit Academy".
"Oh, that's a bit of a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"Most of your strength as beast tamers lies in your companion beasts. In this Lesser Red Heaven, you cannot unleash your full potential, which is somewhat unsatisfying."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he withdrew his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye.
Lu Qiulong has undoubtedly mastered the art of spirit control to an extremely high level. His bloodline and beast control are now one, and he possesses the ferocious aura of the Fierce Tiger. If I hadn't mastered the Spirit Controlling Slash, which would allow me to counter him, I would probably have been defeated in the blink of an eye.
"It's not a pity, because I knew I was going to be matched with you today, so I borrowed some of my companion's power in advance."
As Lu Qiulong spoke, he clenched his fists.
With a loud boom, a powerful and majestic Qi and Blood of killing intent erupted from every pore of his body, and his clothes tore open, revealing his perfectly proportioned physique.
Chen Mobai's eyes suddenly narrowed! Lu Qiulong, who was in his sight, suddenly disappeared, and an indescribable terrifying fist force, carrying a fierce and murderous aura, slammed into his right cheek.
"So fast!"
This pure physical speed was the fastest Chen Mobai had encountered in his more than one hundred battles.
Fortunately, his Sword Light had reached the level where his thoughts could follow his will.
With one finger raised on his right hand, a brilliant, deep purple Sword Light burst forth, cutting between Lu Qiulong's face just before his fist struck.
Sword Light and fist force! From the very beginning, they clashed with the most direct force! Amidst the thunderous roar, after Lu Qiulong's left fist force was blocked by the Sword Light, he laughed wildly and retreated instead of advancing. His right fist force, carrying violent Qi and Blood energy, slammed heavily towards Chen Mobai's chin.
But at that moment, Chen Mobai raised his left index finger and pointed a sword at him.
With a loud bang! A huge impact emanated from the two of them and began to spread outwards, causing Chen Mobai to be sent flying backwards.
As he retreated, he clasped his hands together in a loose fist, and streaks of dazzling crimson lightning began to form in his palms.
Lu Qiulong landed on both feet, his whole body like a cannonball, rushing against the current towards Chen Mobai.
Amidst the roar!
Lu Qiulong collided head-on with the Profound Fire Divine Thunder Technique. His hair was ablaze, and his bronze-colored skin crackled with crimson lightning, yet he managed to shatter this powerful spell.
She was now close to Chen Mobai again.
At that moment, two more fireballs shot out from Chen Mobai's palm, accompanied by Sword Light.
With a swing of his fists, the fireball and sword Sword Light shattered simultaneously.
However, Chen Mobai's Spell Duel talent began to emerge under the stimulation of a powerful opponent. He moved his hands again, activated his Spiritual Sense, and used the Fire Chain Art obtained from the Longevity Sect.
The flames and Sword Light that Lu Qiulong had scattered were quickly condensed and solidified under his Spiritual Sense, transforming into a long chain of flames.
As if rooted in the void, they stretched out one by one, firmly binding Lu Qiulong, who had already rushed in front of Chen Mobai.
After taking control, Chen Mobai's eyes shimmered, his right hand spread its five fingers, and a ball of Purple-Blue Fire burned fiercely in the void in his palm, about to unleash a terrifying Sword Light that shook the heavens and the earth.
Lu Qiulong felt the power of the spirit beast within his body rapidly dwindling, and he was also shocked by Chen Mobai's terrifying strength, but the formula for victory was already in his grasp.
Roar! After a deafening roar, his Qi and Blood surged, and he became like a three-meter-tall tiger, breaking free from all the fiery chains and lunging at Chen Mobai.
At the same time, the Purple Fire Sword Light, activated by Chen Mobai's Fire Spirit Body using the Sun Ascension Technique, extended from Chen Mobai's palm and pierced straight into the center of the gaping maw of the tiger that Lu Qiulong had transformed into.
"Who's winning!"
Outside, amidst the dazzling Purple Azure flames and the mingling of powerful Qi and Blood, no one could clearly see the scene of the two fighting in the very center.
Just as Hua Zijing Ming Yihua, and the others clenched their fists in tension, their inspiration finally began to dissipate.
Lu Qiulong grasped Chen Mobai's Sword Light with his left hand, diverting what should have been a fatal wound piercing the heart to his left shoulder blade.
Although his left hand was crippled, he avoided being eliminated. At the same time, Lu Qiulong's right hand formed a claw and gripped Chen Mobai's neck, seemingly about to rip his head off.
However, a clear ray of light transformed into an invisible barrier, like a halo, protecting Chen Mobai's neck and preventing his right hand from advancing any further.
It was the "Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light" that Chen Mobai had cultivated diligently for nearly two years after Foundation Establishment! As the prototype of the Divine Wood Sect's supreme technique "Heavenly Wood Divine Light", although the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light lacked offensive power, it could change forms under the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Art that Chen Mobai obtained from the Longevity Sect, making it his strongest defensive spell.
"Aren't you Foundation Establishment from the Pure Yang Scroll?"
Lu Qiulong looked at the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light that had blocked his right hand's claw with some surprise. He could sense that it was formed from Wood Attribute spiritual power, which was just right to counter his Earth Spiritual Power.
"Your Earth Spiritual Power counters my Fire Attribute sword energy, making you the most suitable opponent to deal with me."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he tried to pull his right sword finger out of the bloody hole in Lu Qiulong's shoulder, but the latter held it tightly, preventing him from moving.
"Unfortunately, your hundred-plus opponents were too weak and failed to force you to reveal your true strength."
As Lu Qiulong sighed, the fingernails of his right hand, driven by his own spiritual power, transformed into five sharp blades, which slowly and firmly pierced into the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light, about to touch Chen Mobai's neck.
"Shouldn't the True Spirit Academy be standing with the Kunpeng Daoist Academy?"
Suddenly, Chen Mobai said something that made Lu Qiulong frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Taishi Shu was recently defeated by the Pure Yang Academy. Lan Haitan is indignant that Xiahou Weihuan, so he has come to Chicheng Cave Heaven. I originally thought you should use your strength to fight against the people of the Pure Yang Academy."
Chen Mobai's words startled Lu Qiulong, but he immediately shook his head.
"Although I am a graduate of the True Spirit Academy, I am first and foremost myself. Since I promised to defeat you, I must at least accomplish that."
As soon as Lu Qiulong finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned into tiger-like pupils. While his left hand firmly restrained Chen Mobai's sword finger, one of the five sharp blades in his right hand finally broke through the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light and was about to cut open the latter's throat.
"What a pity, I wanted to let you admit defeat gracefully."
Chen Mobai suddenly sighed, and just as Lu Qiulong was wondering what those words meant, the latter's head suddenly exploded, turning into a shower of blood.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, Chen Mobai used the flower and fruit formed from his Spiritual Sense to evolve into the "Spirit Controlling Slash".
If it were Lu Qiulong at his peak, he wouldn't have fallen for the trap so easily.
However, after a fierce battle with Chen Mobai, and with Lu Qiulong forcibly absorbing the power of his own spirit beast to hold back, all for the sake of fighting Chen Mobai, his spirit had already been greatly depleted, ultimately leading to this result.
Chen Mobai raised his right hand, his five fingers outstretched, sword energy surging, and he had already cut Lu Qiulong, who was restraining him, into several pieces.
Amidst the swirling blood, he looked up at the last traces of his opponent and exclaimed in sincere admiration.
"A respectable opponent."
