You've Already Worked Very Hard

"Junior Brother Chen is very strong, and I admit that I am not as good as him. Let's leave the remaining two matches to Senior Brother Ling and Junior Sister Taishi."

Just when Chen Mobai was troubled, the host, the sect Sect Son, stepped forward, took the initiative to admit defeat, and helped him solve his problem.

"Alright, alright!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Dao Shi and Taishi Shu had a question in their hearts that they didn't know whether they should say.

However, they didn't have the same thick skin as the Sect Son, who could accept the challenge without hesitation. They could only grit their teeth and accept Chen Mobai's invitation to spar.

"I'll be waiting for you here at the same time tomorrow."

Chen Mobai pointed at Taishi Shu, and after saying this, he threw the Foundation Ranking in his hand to Zhuang Jialan on the platform of the Wuqi Dao Academy, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the direction outside the lake.

Where are you going?

Wenren Xuewei saw Chen Mobai walk past her and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Didn't you tell me to play one game a day? I've already used up my quota for today, so there's no point in staying here. I might as well go find a friend."

Chen Mobai asked a question in return, sounding rather strange.

"Don't you want to see your opponents go down for a spar? For example, me, who knows, I might even have powerful spells that are no less impressive than your Thunder Method!"

Wenren Xuewei's words drew a shake of Chen Mobai's head.

"The result is the same anyway, so what difference does it make whether you look at it or not?"

After saying this, Chen Mobai lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed on the lakeside. With two flashes, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

This guy...

Upon seeing this scene, Pei Azurefrost's hand holding the sword bulged with veins. If it weren't for Wenren Xuewei being there to keep things under control, she probably would have already drawn her sword and chased after them.

Qi Huanzhi remained expressionless as always, while Lou Fengcheng wore a displeased expression.

The other opponents clenched their fists to varying degrees, but when they thought of the astonishing Thunder Method they had just witnessed, they quietly relaxed their fists.

After Chen Mobai left, the more than one hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivator began to discuss among themselves.

"Is this the Magic Combat Victor has held the number one spot in Lesser Red Heaven for two consecutive years?!"

"I originally thought that he only had such a terrifying record of complete victory because of the power of his Sword Light and his low cultivation level, which meant he couldn't match the late Foundation Establishment. Now it seems that it's fortunate that his cultivation level is low, otherwise he would probably have swept through the entire Foundation Establishment Realm."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There's also Lan Haitan!"

When a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the True Spirit Academy heard someone from the neighboring Spirit Treasure Academy say this, he couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal.

"Lan Haitan is indeed invincible at the Foundation Establishment, but I think that if the Magic Combat Victor at the Wuqi Dao Academy is also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment, then Lan Haitan may not be his match."

"It's really true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to mess with the Number One Foundation Establishment Cultivator cultivator in the Immortal Sect. If you were to say it's Yan Qiongzhi, that would be somewhat plausible. The power of the Golden Core Domain is unimaginable for Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

Hearing such ignorant words, the students from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy nearby couldn't help but join in, sneering as they spoke.

"If it takes the Golden Core Domain to defeat Magic Combat Victor, then Lan Haitan has already lost."

However, the words of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Spirit Treasure Academy made everyone from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and True Spirit Academy blush with embarrassment. They wanted to refute him, but for a moment they didn't know how to do so.

The Wuqi Dao Academy naturally heard this debate as well, and Bian Jingchun and the others couldn't help but smile at the Spirit Treasure Academy.

After all, it was an academy branched off from their own Dao Academy, so they were still on their side.

Dai Shiqing, the Chief of the Spirit Treasure Academy, had once fought against Chen Mobai in Lesser Red Heaven. He was convinced of his defeat, and after today, Chen Mobai was now the Number One Foundation Establishment Cultivator in his heart.

[As expected of the Senior Brother Xi of the upper academy. I'm about to graduate, and I hope to apply for further studies at the Wuqi Dao Academy. More contact with geniuses like Chief Chen will help me progress faster.]

With this in mind, Dai Shiqing greeted the Wuqi Dao Academy, and then, at Bian Jingchun's invitation, naturally went over to chat and began to build connections in advance.

Meanwhile, the second round of sparring had already begun.

The two fighters were also the Chief the Dao Academy, a fact that garnered significant public attention.

Taishi Shu seemed a little angry, and after Chen Mobai left, she directly called out the Sect Son.

The current Chief of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and Goumang Dao Academy sparring would have been the ultimate showdown in the past.

Although there are now many more graduates who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it still attracts everyone's attention.

"Jialan, record this match and show it to your junior when you get back. After all, he's going to fight Taishi Shu tomorrow, so it's always good to be prepared."

Bian Jingchun reminded Zhuang Jialan, who immediately nodded, took out her phone, and started taking pictures of the two Chief attacking and defending on the lake.

"Since he left early, even if you put it in front of him, he probably wouldn't bother to look at it."

Sun Daoji sighed and said, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and new people replace the old people in the world. I am still very young, but at this moment I suddenly feel that I am already old."

"Go ahead and film. The others can also film some valuable Spell Duel matches. Although Junior Chen is a talkative person, he is actually very sensible in his actions and is a very reliable junior."

Chi Shicheng was observing the Great Camphor Tree with his monocle, suddenly said something.

He was the oldest and most experienced, and he saw the composure and reliability behind Chen Mobai's seemingly arrogant exterior.

Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and other Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Wuqi Dao Academy nodded blankly.

"Alright, let's pick our opponents. After all, we have to play one match every day. Let's focus on getting the Points in the first few days. Once we've secured first place, we Qi Huanzhi and the others to see where we're lacking."

Bian Jingchun clapped her hands gently, beckoning Zhongli Tianyu and the others over.

With Chen Mobai absent, and Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng too old to manage affairs, the remaining students of the Dao Academy were placed under the care of Bian Jingchun, since she was the Chief before graduation.

"I have already chosen my opponent."

Zhongli Tianyu was the first to express his opinion, and he looked coldly at Nangong Xiu had just challenged Chen Mobai to a duel.

Chen Mobai's sparring spot was precious, and since he had already lost to Nangong Xiu, he couldn't be bothered with him.

But Zhongli Tianyu felt it was necessary to teach Nangong Xiu a lesson.

Let him know that everyone is responsible for what they say.

"You could even put up a fight against the other three Chief of the Dao Academy, but since Nangong Xiu has mastered the Six Imperial Scripture Rain Section, you should be careful when sparring with him."

In response to Bian Jingchun's reminder, Zhongli Tianyu said something with an arrogant expression.

"The torrential rain is merely the prelude to the thunder. Once I, the Thunder Emperor, descend, he will have no choice but to submit to me!"

Bian Jingchun was too lazy to pay attention to this brat, so she started to instruct the three with weaker cultivation levels.

Zhai Jianbai at the third level of Foundation Establishment, but as Sword Cultivator and a genuine sword genius, he is likely to rank among the top in this sparring session, unless he encounters the Chief or graduates of the academy.

Jiang Yuyuan Foundation Establishment Second Layer, Zhuang Jialan Foundation Establishment on the first floor.

For the two of them, participation was the main focus.

Bian Jingchun only asked them to get a feel for the atmosphere, and if they felt they were not up to the task during the sparring, they should immediately admit defeat.

Anyway, the Wuqi Dao Academy sent three Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivators this time, plus the monster Chen Mobai, so they are basically guaranteed to take first place in the team Points.

Even if the two of them lose all ten games, they can still carry the team.

Just as the troops were being deployed in full swing, Chen Mobai had already arrived at the Alchemy room.

"Shouldn't you be with the Divine Tree?"

When Qing Nü saw him walk in, she asked with a strange expression. Her right hand never left the Sand Furnace used to refine the Camel Thorn Medicinal Paste. She used her extremely pure Wood Spiritual Power to control the temperature of the flames, and at the same time, she used her Spiritual Sense to regulate the fusion and reaction of the main and Auxiliary Medicine.

"The opponent is too weak. Wenren Xuewei from your Dao Academy took a liking to my huge popularity, but she won't let me finish ten matches in one day, so she came to find you."

Chen Mobai smiled and walked to Qing Nü's side, then extended his right hand to take over her control of the flame temperature.

The two often collaborated on Alchemy, and their teamwork had become very seamless.

After Chen Mobai injected his pure Yang spiritual power, Qing Nu began to slowly withdraw her own wood spiritual power.

"Initially, the refining of various medicinal properties requires constant changes in the flame temperature, so it needs to be manually controlled. When the medicinal properties are fused in the middle stage, the temperature control Array Formation built into this Sand Furnace can be used for mechanical operation. I only need to check the fusion of the medicinal materials every day to ensure that it is within the normal range."

After Qing Nü withdrew her hand, she did not stop to rest. Her Spiritual Sense remained outside her body in the Sand Furnace, adjusting the order in which the medicinal herbs were refined.

"Actually, I can manage on my own. If you have time, you can explore this place thoroughly. Whether it's the Thousand Mountains and Myriad Waters or the Linwu Cave Heaven, there are the most beautiful natural landscapes in the Immortal Sect. Since you've come all this way, don't miss it."

Upon hearing Qing Nü's words, Chen Mobai shook his head without hesitation.

"I don't like looking at scenery. If I have time, I usually stay at home Qi Refining and practicing Qi cultivation. That feeling of mastering magic and improving myself is what I like the most."

Upon hearing this, Qing Nü's lips curled up slightly.

He's still the same person, unchanged.

She clearly remembered that when he was still a high school student in Vermilion Cloud City, he had a level of ambition that was hard for his peers to match. Every bit of Merit Points he did was used by her to refine pills to enhance his spiritual power and Spiritual Sense.

Aside from discussing Alchemy, as far as I can remember, the two of them spent most of their time together eating fish.

The thought of eating fish made Qing Nü's smile widen.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something happy?"

"Hmm, I've thought of something delicious."

Grilled fish?

How did you know?

"In all the years we've known each other, you haven't expressed your liking for many things, but grilled fish is one of them, and it's also the food I remember you liking the most. That's it."

Qing Nü smiled after hearing Chen Mobai's words.

"Then tell me, besides grilled fish, what else do I like?"

"Alchemy, identifying medicinal herbs, accumulating Merit Points, and your younger siblings—that's all I can recall."

With each item Chen Mobai mentioned, Qing Nü's smile deepened, until he uttered the words "younger brother and sister."

In an instant, the light in her eyes vanished, leaving her feeling utterly lost.

"I'm sorry, I brought up something that upset you."

"It's nothing, it's all in the past."

Then, a silence fell between the two.

Outside the Alchemy room.

The Grey-Blue Bird on the tree had a hint of sadness in its bean-sized eyes.

At its feet, on a branch, a small, miniature Black Serpent coiled around the twig, its pure eyes fixed on the bird above. Suddenly, it flicked its red tongue, opened its mouth, and bit the bird's neck.

But the bird's slender claws lifted up with such speed that they seemed to leave a trail of afterimages, and in an instant, they pressed down on the Little Black Snake's vital spot, firmly pinning it to the branch, rendering it unable to move.

"Sister, I'm sorry for making you sad, but I've already resolved the threat of the Two Parts Divine Technique. If you knew this news, you would be very happy."

Kong Feichen, transformed into a bird, stood on a large tree, looking through the window at Qing Nü and the eyesore Chen Mobai inside the Alchemy room, muttering to himself.

He raised his paw, letting the Little Black Snake, who had been playing dead, breathe.

Kong Feichen looked at the miniature snake again, then at Chen Mobai, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"Then I'll come and keep you company later."

The next morning, Chen Mobai, still preoccupied with his fight with Taishi Shu, bid farewell to Qing Nü and left the Alchemy room.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Qing Nü sat by the Sand Furnace, controlling the temperature of the spiritual fire with one hand and gently waving the other at Chen Mobai.

Lake Island.

When Chen Mobai arrived, people were already sparring on the ten lake arenas.

However, the moment he appeared, everyone involuntarily trembled, and even a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator who was condensing a spell almost failed because of it.

Chen Mobai chose one of the empty hexagonal arenas and slowly walked in.

"President, would you like to watch the video of Taishi Shu's fight yesterday? Her Six Imperial Scripture Primordial Magnetic Force is extremely powerful; even the Sect Son lost to her."

On the platform of the Wuqi Dao Academy, Zhuang Jialan Telepathic Message to Chen Mobai in a secret manner.

"Never mind, I'm already on stage, and she's getting ready to leave."

Chen Mobai waved to the platform where his own Dao Academy was located to express his gratitude to Zhuang Jialan. Then he saw Taishi Shu from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy step into the void. Her tall figure then landed on the lake with a light and graceful movement, without causing a ripple on the water.

"Your people from the Dao Academy went too far yesterday. Shouldn't sparring stop when it's over?"

Taishi Shu landed in front of Chen Mobai and said something slightly annoyed.

"What?"

Chen Mobai looked completely bewildered. He looked up at the platform of the Wuqi Dao Academy. Zhongli Tianyu stood tall and proud, pointed to himself, and then pointed to Nangong Xiu.

With the activation of his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he had already pierced through the platform's concealment and seen Nangong Xiu, whose face was half-swollen from being hit, whose hair and eyebrows were standing on end from being electrocuted, and who was huddled in a corner, emitting a burnt smell and blue smoke.

"After I defeat you, I'll talk to them and tell them not to hit your face in any future sparring matches."

Chen Mobai immediately apologized to Taishi Shu, but these words made Taishi Shu so angry that her chest swelled up.

"You really think you've got this in the bag!"

Taishi Shu roared angrily. Although she was a woman, she possessed a heroic spirit that was no less than that of a man.

Even knowing that their chances of winning are slim, they must still display the demeanor and glory of the Chief Kunpeng Daoist Academy today.

A powerful Primordial Magnetic Force erupted from her entire body, followed by streaks of black iron falling from the sky, resembling a tight-fitting suit of armor, which adhered to Taishi Shu's limbs, chest, and back.

With a loud "bang!", Taishi Shu unleashed her strongest punch at Chen Mobai, the result of a full day and night of preparation since defeating the Sect Son, using the power of the Primordial Magnetic Force combined with the power of Magic Artifact magical artifact.

This punch contained all her anger, resentment, effort, and desire!

Centered on her, the water on the entire arena, along with the water on the lakes of the three nearby arenas, began to rise, transforming into waves, like a flash flood and the sea and sky surging backward.

Like the terrifying weather of a natural disaster, it was evolved within her Yuan Magnetic Fist.

Even the ten Foundation Establishment Perfection graduates on the Foundation Ranking would have to use their most trump card to withstand this punch.

Sun Daoji was even thinking of avoiding his sharp edge and waiting until Taishi Shu was exhausted.

However, facing the terrifying force of the punches, which was like a raging storm, Chen Mobai merely extended one finger.

He raised his right hand, and amidst the flashes of electricity, his index finger pointed out.

It landed right in the center of Taishi Shu's fist, which was covered by a black iron block.

Then, blue lightning spread from Chen Mobai's fingertips and landed on Taishi Shu's entire body.

The jet-black armor, which had been attracted by the Primordial Magnetic Force, suddenly disintegrated, as if it had been demagnetized, and turned back into chunks of jet-black iron that fell into the lake.

Amidst the rustling sound.

The lake water, swept up by the Primordial Magnetic Force, had just reached Chen Mobai's side when it seemed to lose its power and scattered into splashes.

But not a single drop of water splashed onto Chen Mobai.

"Why is it that after all my hard work cultivating and ignoring my body's resistance to fusing with the Primordial Magnetic Force, I'm still no match for even one of your fingers!"

Taishi Shu finally couldn't hold back anymore. If she had lost to Lan Haitan or Wenren Xuewei, Taishi Shu could accept it.

Because they have spent more time cultivating than I have.

But losing to Chen Mobai, who was younger than her and completely overwhelmed, was something Taishi Shu, who was always arrogant and considered herself the top genius in her class, could not accept at all.

"You're already very capable, don't doubt yourself."

To this, Chen Mobai only said this.

"No matter how powerful you are, it's still just a matter of one finger of yours."

"I can see that you have worked very hard. I know the pain of failure, but as long as you don't compare yourself to me, you are still the best among your peers."

After offering a word of comfort, Chen Mobai, still thinking about the ointment Qing Nü was refining, greeted the Wuqi Dao Academy platform and turned to leave again.

The two exchanged blows in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Mobai arrived, several pairs of opponents who were sparring on other arenas had not even finished their matches yet.

But at this moment, they all stopped their spells and stood there, staring at Chen Mobai's back.

So powerful, so dazzling!
