Standing Invincible
"You'll have to discover that for yourself."
Wenren Xuewei smiled slightly, her right hand forming a loose fist, and streams of water rose from the lake's surface, condensing into a crescent-shaped water blade in her palm.
Amidst the clattering sound.
The water blade hurtled forward, sounding like rushing water, and in an instant it slashed right in front of Chen Mobai.
Faced with such an attack, Chen Mobai merely raised his right little finger, Earth Sword Light burst forth, easily shattering the sword and water blade. Moreover, the remaining momentum continued, and with a majestic force, it split into three, stabbing towards Wenren Xuewei's forehead, heart, and dantian—three core parts of the human body.
However, the azure spiritual light representing the Wood Attribute shone on Wenren Xuewei's body, transforming into an illusory tree branch that extended and coiled, binding and sealing the three Earth Swords before finally shattering them.
But after the Earth Sword Light was suppressed, Chen Mobai once again wielded the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. The blazing Azure Sun Fire Sword Light, like a line of fire, approached from afar and, after burning away the illusory branches, once again pierced towards Wenren Xuewei.
However, this time, the target was the space between the eyebrows Sea of Consciousness.
"How ruthless!"
"It's just a friendly spar, don't go to such extremes!"
"Someone come and stop them. If someone dies, it will be a huge problem."
The Foundation Establishment True Cultivator watching from all around were visibly shocked by Chen Mobai's ruthless attack.
Even Wenren Xuewei changed slightly at that moment. She really didn't expect that the person in front of her was not joking.
The Sea Passage Ring glowed with a bluish-green light, transforming into a water wall that enveloped Wenren Xuewei's face and blocked the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.
With a series of sharp, piercing sounds, golden Sword Light surged forth like a torrential rain, striking Wenren Xuewei's entire body, particularly her vital points.
The five internal organs, the six bowels, the Twelve Meridians, and most importantly, the dantian (lower abdomen)...
"This guy's Sword Light is too smooth in its transitions."
On the platform of the Mountain Sea Academy, Pei Azurefrost saw Chen Mobai switch Sword Light the three attributes of earth, fire, and metal in the blink of an eye as he tested the weakness of his friend Wenren Xuewei's Evergreen Technique Fu. She couldn't help but show a strange expression.
"As expected of the Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy, in the last hundred years of the Immortal Sect, he and Senior Sister Pei are probably the two with the strongest swordsmanship talent."
Linghu Xian, the Chief scholar of this year's Mountain Sea Academy, is also Sword Cultivator who practices the Geng Metal Sword Art. When he saw Chen Mobai's Sword Light Ruyi between the three attributes so smoothly and effortlessly, even he, who always had a high opinion of himself, couldn't help but admire him.
"How does his Geng Metal Sword Light compare to yours?"
Pei Azurefrost suddenly asked Linghu Xian this question, and the latter immediately shook his head, indicating that he was ashamed of his inferiority.
"My Geng Metal Sword Light is only at the beginner level; I can only use it, and it is nowhere near comparable to this Magic Combat Victor."
Linghu Xian a tenth-grade student with Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer. However, because he had mastered Sword Light, he was hailed as the second-best sword genius in the Mountain Sea Academy in the last sixty years, second only to Pei Azurefrost.
Relying on the powerful attack of the Sword Light, Linghu Xian has become quite famous in Lesser Red Heaven. Some people even believe that he has a bright future and may become the second Magic Combat Victor.
Linghu Xian had some hope, feeling that if he worked hard, he might be able to replicate Chen Mobai's invincible record in Lesser Red Heaven.
After all, they are both Sword Cultivator who have mastered Sword Light, but his cultivation level is even higher.
But today, he finally understood.
There are differences even among geniuses.
Just as he was feeling smug about mastering one type of swordsmanship, Magic Combat Victor from the Wuqi Dao Academy had already mastered five types, and five different attributes at that. He was truly flawless in swordsmanship and could be called a perfect Sword Cultivator.
"No, this level of swordsmanship has already surpassed the term 'genius'."
However, Pei Azurefrost sensed the discord in the situation. She was known as the most outstanding genius in the Mountain Sea Academy in the past hundred years, and even the Sword Dao Grandmaster Hao Cao praised her talent.
They believed that she had the potential to surpass them in the future and become the first Sword Cultivator in the Immortal Sect in recent centuries to achieve Nascent Formation Soul stage.
Even with her talent in swordsmanship, she has only mastered two types of Sword Light to this day.
Chen Mobai lower than hers, yet he had mastered the Five Elements and Five Attributes Sword Light. Such talent could not be described as genius. Even the Old Ancestor Bai Guang, the Nascent Sword Cultivator of the Immortal Sect, was probably only of this caliber at the same age.
Could it be that this person truly possesses the potential to become a deity? Or perhaps there is some crucial element yet to be discovered.
As Pei Azurefrost pondered, she narrowed her eyes and focused even more intently on the scene of the two fighting on the lake below.
Chen Mobai looked at Wenren Xuewei, whose green dress had been pierced by his Geng Metal Sword Light light, but whose body was completely unharmed. Her skin was still snow-white, smooth and delicate, and even her Qi and Blood showed no signs of weakening. She was still in her peak condition.
"You blocked the flying sword that was aimed at your Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, but you didn't pay attention to the Geng Metal Sword Light that was aimed at other parts of your body. It seems that the only weakness of your Evergreen Technique is your head."
As Chen Mobai spoke, Wenren Xuewei smiled slightly. She gently stroked her Gomang Immortal Green Shirt with her delicate hand, and saw that the gap cut by the Sword Light stretched out like branches and leaves, automatically sewing it back together.
In the blink of an eye, the dress was completely intact.
"I didn't expect you to figure me out so quickly. But there's something you're wrong about. Although I've only just begun to learn the Everlasting Evergreen Technique and my Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness is not yet stable and unharmed, the reason I blocked your flying sword was simply because there is a powerful Talisman within my Spiritual Sense. If your Sword Light were to intrude into it and trigger the backlash of this Talisman, resulting in my defeat, then this sparring would be rather pointless."
Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei's words, Chen Mobai thought of the Fifth Order Wood Spirit Talisman that Qing Nü had mentioned, and fell slightly speechless.
However, he had no intention of actually harming Wenren Xuewei's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, since this was just a friendly spar.
Even if Wenren Xuewei hadn't used the Sea Passage Ring to block the flying sword, he would have changed direction and stabbed at another part of her body.
"I believe that you can't maintain your injury-free state for long by relying on Evergreen Technique."
As he spoke, Chen Mobai reached out and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin returned to his palm.
"You can try again. Maybe I won't be able to hold on for more than a few minutes."
When Wenren Xuewei said this, she still had a smile on her face, but Chen Mobai's fighting instincts made him realize that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.
Should we use the Sword Aura?
[I wonder if the continuous Burn Blood effect of the Azure Flame Sword Sha can break the constant state of her Evergreen Technique?]
No, let's test the waters one more time.
In a split second, a series of thoughts and tactics flashed through Chen Mobai's mind, but in the end he decided that before he figured out the constant bottom line of the Evergreen Technique, he should not rashly use his biggest trump card.
It was at this moment that Chen Mobai made up his mind.
Wenren Xuewei was indeed the most terrifying opponent of the same realm that I had ever encountered.
No wonder Lan Haitan couldn't defeat her. After mastering the Evergreen Technique, Wenren Xuewei was already Xiantian against any opponent.
But what Lan Haitan couldn't do, he might be able to do as well.
Faced with such an Bu Huai opponent, Chen Mobai finally no longer needed to suppress himself.
With a crackling sound, a streak of crimson lightning shot out from his left hand.
Upon seeing the Thunder Method, Wenren Xuewei instinctively activated the Sea Passage Ring, causing the surging water to condense into a barrier. However, after making her move, she suddenly realized that this was not the Third Grade Yi Wood Divine Thunder, but the Second Grade Bing Fire Divine Thunder.
However, once the Third Tier Magic Tool was activated, she could no longer withdraw it and could only grit her teeth and use the water barrier to block the crimson lightning.
Since this Magic Artifact did not belong to her, Wenren Xuewei would have a period of rest after each use.
Boom!
After using the Bing Fire Divine Thunder to deplete the Third Tier Magic Tool, Chen Mobai activated the Third Grade Yi Wood Divine Thunder.
The raging Thunder Essence in his palm was as gentle as water, condensed into a blazing bolt of lightning that suddenly burst forth, piercing through Wenren Xuewei, who had no choice but to withstand the attack with her bare body.
However, Chen Mobai still showed mercy.
The blazing lightning veered slightly, avoiding its original target of the dantian, and instead created a hole in Wenren Xuewei's beautifully curved waist and abdomen on the right side.
Then, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder exploded, spreading along the wound on Wenren Xuewei's waist and abdomen to her entire body.
Even a Foundation Establishment who has dedicated themselves to body training would likely lose their combat ability on the spot if they suffered such an injury.
However, the power of Evergreen Technique still exceeded Chen Mobai's estimation.
Although Wenren Xuewei's physical body was in disarray due to the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, she managed to hold on until the activation interval of the Sea Passage Ring. A stream of clear water light shone from the surface of the golden ring and flowed into her body, suppressing and expelling all the violent Thunder Essence from her body.
Amidst the hissing sounds!
Chen Mobai, however, was relentless in his pursuit of the truth. He raised three fingers of his right hand, and three sword energies— Divine Wood, Geng Metal, and Azure Sun Fire —shot out side by side.
Among these, the Azure Sun Fire Sword Light, attached to the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and enhanced by the spiritual fire, is so powerful that it has reached the peak of the Second Grade.
Each of them individually could defeat Lu Qiulong; among those present, no more than one could withstand a single blow.
Wenren Xuewei had just banished the Third Grade lightning, and the fist-sized hole in her waist and abdomen had only healed halfway when Chen Mobai's Three Sword Lights pierced her spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, intestines, and lungs once again.
In an instant, the Five Elements within Wenren Xuewei's body began to become unbalanced.
However, she remained remarkably calm. A thin layer of Water Element Essence condensed on her snow-white right fingers, resembling a transparent glove, and at this crucial moment, she grasped the Flying Sparrow Hairpin was piercing her liver and gallbladder.
Although some of the Azure Sun Fire Sword Light still managed to penetrate the body, it had already minimized the damage to the flesh.
Chen Mobai moved his right hand again, and the remaining Azure Sun Fire in front of him suddenly spread and burned, turning into chains of blue and red flames that stretched out from the void and bound Wenren Xuewei's neck and limbs respectively.
Then, he unleashed his Spiritual Sense and used the Fire Chain Art to drag Wenren Xuewei off the sparring arena.
Splash! As Wenren Xuewei couldn't withstand Chen Mobai's entire set of tactics. Her delicate body, which had not yet fully recovered, was dragged behind a jet ski, leaving a white wave on the lake's surface. It looked like she was about to leave the arena.
"Wood God Aid Me!"
With a soft shout, Wenren Xuewei formed a hand seal with her left hand, and a complex and precise Restriction spread out from her palm.
Then two thick tree roots emerged from the water, their powerful wood elemental force overcoming the elemental advantage and forcefully crushing the flame chains formed by the Azure Sun Fire. They then grabbed Wenren Xuewei's slender legs and pulled her back to the center of the arena.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai finally realized what he had overlooked.
His Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye lit up, and without Wenren Xuewei concealing anything, he saw that she had established an energy transmission connection with the Great Camphor Tree.
As the pure and powerful wood elemental energy surged in, Wenren Xuewei's body, which had been riddled with holes by Chen Mobai, seemed to reverse time. The fist-sized hole in her waist and abdomen slowly shrank, eventually turning back into snow-white and flat skin.
With a gentle wave of Wenren Xuewei's hand, Gomang Immortal Green Shirt was restored to its original state.
Two branches released her legs, and she gracefully landed on the lake, frowning slightly as she rubbed her abdomen where she had been stabbed, as if the pain had not completely subsided.
At this moment, all the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator watching looked at Wenren Xuewei with eyes that seemed to regard her as a monster.
Anyone with injuries like that would probably need emergency medical attention.
Bian Jingchun estimated that if Chen Mobai had beaten her to this state, she would probably be on her last breath.
But Wenren Xuewei, just like in Lesser Red Heaven, was like a time rewind.
She looked as if she had just landed on the platform to fight Chen Mobai; her appearance was elegant and her clothes were neat, showing no trace of the terrible injuries that had left her almost crippled.
"I see. Your constant state doesn't consume your own power."
Chen Mobai frowned as he looked at the energy link between Wenren Xuewei and the Great Camphor Tree.
He could understand that Evergreen Technique kept his physical body unharmed, but he judged that such a state must require a great deal of spiritual energy.
He previously believed that with Wenren Xuewei's Foundation Establishment Perfection realm, even if she cultivated the Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique, she would only have a maximum of 300 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power. He thought that as long as he damaged her physical body multiple times, he could use the water-grinding method to force her to be unable to maintain this state.
Furthermore, Wenren Xuewei's use of Third Tier Magic Tool would also severely deplete her spiritual power.
But unexpectedly, the source of Wenren Xuewei's energy that kept her body unharmed was actually this Great Camphor Tree.
"Isn't this a bit too much of a cheat?"
Chen Mobai reached out, trying to recall the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from Wenren Xuewei's hand, but a tree branch flew out from the lake and wrapped around and suppressed the flying sword.
"Don't think that I was able to do this because I had the advantage of the terrain. Once I mastered the Evergreen Technique, I would have formed a link with the Wood God. Even in the farthest place from here in the Immortal Sect, or even in the Outside the Heavens Starry Sky, I could use the power of the Wood God to maintain my constant and unharmed state."
Wenren Xuewei smiled and began to explain, saying something that shocked everyone present even more.
"I didn't fight Lan Haitan here, but he still couldn't do anything to my Evergreen Technique, and that's why."
[I wonder if the connection between Evergreen Technique and the Great Camphor Tree would still be effective if separated by an entire world?]
The question flashed through Chen Mobai's mind, but he certainly wouldn't ask it aloud.
He looked at Wenren Xuewei, using his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye to search for possible flaws, and finally discovered that his opponent was different from before.
"The power of the Great Camphor Tree can keep your physical body from getting hurt, but controlling Third Tier Magic Tool or even maintaining the connection between yourself and the Great Camphor Tree still requires consuming your own spiritual power and Spiritual Sense."
"Oh, you noticed."
Wenren Xuewei looked surprised, but she remained calm as she stood in the center of the arena.
"In other words, the key to this sparring lies in who will exhaust their spiritual energy Spiritual Sense first."
After seeing through it, Chen Mobai nodded in approval of his correct decision not to use the sword aura.
Because using the sword aura requires too much spiritual energy.
Wenren Xuewei has Infinity health, but her attack and defense spells are average.
In other words, as long as he adopts the correct tactics, he can wear her down until her spiritual energy Spiritual Sense are exhausted.
Fortunately, his Five Elements Sword Light is not countered by any attribute, and can even counter Wenren Xuewei's earth, Water-Wood, and wood attribute spells.
This match isn't unwinnable.
Although he had thought a lot, only a moment had passed. After re-determining his tactics, Chen Mobai did not waste any more spiritual power and Spiritual Sense to control the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and break free.
He stood on the lake, his right fingertip pointing to the Five Elements Sword Light, ready to strike, but he did not make a move.
"Alright, how about we call this a draw?"
After Chen Mobai adopted a defensive and counter-attacking stance, Wenren Xuewei was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Magic Combat Victor had grasped the key to sparring with her. After thinking it over, she did not make another move, but instead put forward a suggestion that surprised and enlightened everyone.
In Offline Sparring, a draw is possible.
But under the current circumstances, this is the best option.
"Then let's leave it at that."
After both sides agreed, the match ended in a draw.
But no one thought there was anything wrong with the draw.
Although Wenren Xuewei had mastered the Evergreen Technique, she certainly didn't want to experience the feeling of her body being riddled with holes again.
Chen Mobai was also unable to break through this most difficult Nascent Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique the immortal Immortal Sect, and could only accept a draw.
"Your swordsmanship doesn't follow the path of One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws,' does it?"
Just as Chen Mobai turned to leave, Pei Azurefrost's voice rang out from above.
"Oh, I didn't expect anyone to be able to see that."
Chen Mobai looked up and smiled slightly.
He deliberately revealed his "Sword Light Transformation" realm to solidify his image as an unparalleled sword genius.
However, not many people know its value.
After passing through Ling Dao Shi and Lu Qiulong, it wasn't until today's fight with Wenren Xuewei that Pei Azurefrost, who had the highest swordsmanship level present, finally saw through the trick.
"No wonder you possess such terrifying combat power at your level."
Upon hearing Chen Mobai's admission, Pei Azurefrost, who was always arrogant, became serious for the first time.
However, their conversation left everyone else present completely baffled.
Only Lou Fengcheng seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
