The Final Match

On the platform of the Goumang Dao Academy, Sect Son looked worried and asked Wenren Xuewei beside him.

"No, I just wanted to make a good connection."

Wenren Xuewei said something that puzzled Sect Son, but he didn't ask any further. Since it wasn't for any other reason that he couldn't make it, he decided to leave it to the organizers.

"President, time is almost up."

Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan's words, Chen Mobai took out his phone and checked it.

4:50 PM.

The practice session is from 9 am to 5 pm, and there are 10 minutes left before the last day ends.

Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He naturally did not think that Pei Azurefrost was afraid of fighting, but why didn't she come?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Since he is here today, he has to have a match. With Pei Azurefrost absent, he can challenge the Chief Goumang Dao Academy was previously overlooked.

"Senior Zong, would you be so kind as to offer some pointers?"

Chen Mobai was still preoccupied with his achievement of suppressing the Chief of the Three Great Dao Academies. Since he couldn't find Pei Azurefrost, he simply challenged the Sect Son directly.

"I am no match for you. I guess I've lost this match."

However, Sect Son didn't care about empty fame. After accepting Chen Mobai's invitation, he immediately admitted defeat, thus fulfilling all of Chen Mobai's achievements in this Offline Sparring at the Daoist Academy.

Time quickly came to the last minute.

But Pei Azurefrost still did not appear.

"This competition has officially come to an end. The team that wins first place is the Wuqi Dao Academy!"

After the five o'clock bell rang, the host, Sect Son, stepped forward and announced the ranking Points for this event.

With Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun, both at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, it would be an injustice if Wuqi Dao Academy didn't win first place as a group.

However, apart from the team first place, the most prestigious individual first place, recognized by the Immortal Sect, still belongs to the Wuqi Dao Academy.

"The individual first place winner will receive a cup of Enlightenment Tea from my Goumang Dao Academy. Chief Chen of the Wuqi Dao Academy, I will come to pick you up tomorrow to collect your reward."

As soon as Sect Son finished speaking, everyone started discussing it, their voices full of envy.

However, Chen Mobai's Spell Duel is indeed unparalleled in the world, which is recognized by everyone. They all believe that the Enlightenment Tea is rightfully his.

"It's actually Enlightenment Tea. I didn't expect Goumang Dao Academy to be able to bring out such a good thing this time."

Bian Jingchun heard about the reward, a look of longing appeared in her eyes.

Even Golden Core True Person would covet this. Her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture still needs many minor modifications to better suit her Spiritual Root and physique. With the help of the Enlightenment Tea, she could save at least a dozen years.

At this moment, Sect Son announced the two prizes: the Great Camellia Flower and the Revitalizing Dew.

This drew another wave of envy.

The giant Great Camellia Flower originally belonged to Pei Azurefrost, but because she was absent today and had participated in fewer than ten sparring matches, she was disqualified, and the flower was given to Wenren Xuewei came in second place.

The third place went to Qi Huanzhi from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy.

Among the top ten on the Foundation Ranking, Xiahou Weihuan and Lou Fengcheng did not participate in any more sparring after losing to Chen Mobai, and like Pei Azurefrost, they automatically gave up the reward.

However, Goumang Dao Academy prepared another consolation prize for the remaining Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in the top ten.

Everyone received a Second Grade Wood Spirit Talisman.

Wearing this Wood Spirit Talisman talisman will have a long-lasting effect, increasing your Wood Spiritual Root by 5 points.

"The Talisman's effectiveness should last for about thirty years."

Zhuang Jialan, Second-tier Talisman Master, observed the Wood Spirit Talisman in Bian Jingchun's hand and drew a conclusion.

"That's pretty good too."

Chen Mobai said casually, but his gaze involuntarily turned to Wenren Xuewei. Fifth Order Wood Spirit Talisman can enable a cultivator to possess Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.

"Pei Azurefrost is here!"

Just as everyone was about to disperse, a tall and slender figure slowly walked over. With her heroic eyebrows and dashing figure, it was Pei Azurefrost.

The moment they saw her approaching, everyone gasped in surprise.

Why did it take so long to arrive after it was over? While everyone was discussing this, Pei Azurefrost landed on the lake and stepped into a circular arena. She then untied the ancient and elegant Azurefrost Sword from her waist.

She loosened her grip on the sword, and the weapon stood suspended in mid-air.

"I'm sorry, the time it took to lift the lockdown was longer than I expected."

Pei Azurefrost wore a dark green military uniform, tight dark green trousers, and knee-high black boots, which made her legs look even more shapely and slender.

"Senior Pei, time's up."

On the platform of the Goumang Dao Academy, Sect Son had no choice but to bite the bullet and remind her that as the host, he had to ensure that everything was done according to the rules.

"I know, since I missed the deadline, I'll just consider it a loss for me in this sparring match."

Pei Azurefrost's words elicited slight nods from many people, for in the Immortal Sect, rules are of utmost importance.

"Now, in my personal capacity, I challenge Chief Chen of the Wuqi Dao Academy."

Just then, Pei Azurefrost suddenly said something that caused an uproar among the crowd.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Mobai.

They all believed that, given his confidence and pride in Magic Combat Victor, he would definitely accept the challenge.

So, they can still witness this epic showdown today.

"I refuse."

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Mobai refused outright.

"Why?"

Pei Azurefrost was clearly not expected to do this, and her eyes widened. With a leap of her long legs, she landed directly on the platform of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

"It's time for dinner, and Qing Nü is still waiting for me to feed her. I'm afraid she's hungry."

Chen Mobai's matter-of-fact words left Pei Azurefrost speechless.

"If you want to call, wait until I finish dinner."

"What time is it?"

"We'll see. Just wait and see."

After saying this, Chen Mobai ignored the wide-eyed, admiring expressions on everyone's faces, gracefully stepped off the platform, and left the Lake Island.

"Let's go, let's grab something to eat quickly, then come right back. We can't miss this showdown."

"What do you want to eat? We are Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, we can go without food for several days without any problems. I'll just wait here."

"Yes, yes, but I didn't expect that Magic Combat Victor would be so fond of food."

"What do you know? Didn't you hear what he said? The key is that someone is waiting for him to eat."

"Who is this person named Qing Nü?"

"I just happened to have heard about it; I learned about it when I was learning about the Magic Combat Victor. This woman has Heaven Spirit Root from the Goumang Dao Academy..."

Before long, the remaining hundred or so Foundation Establishment True Cultivator had started Eight Trigrams.

Upon learning that Chen Mobai and Qing Nü had actually been together since high school, everyone couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, geniuses attract each other."

Of course, many people also noticed Pei Azurefrost, the genius Sword Cultivator of the Mountain Sea Academy. She lowered her head, clenched and unclenched her fists, but in the end, she could only watch Chen Mobai leave.

However, she then landed on the lake and stood in the center of the circular arena.

The Azurefrost Sword followed her, floating in the air.

Inside the Alchemy room.

Chen Mobai and Qing Nü were enjoying a delicious three-dish-and-one-soup dinner they had brought when they suddenly noticed an uninvited guest at the door.

"I didn't expect it to be Senior Wenren. Would you like to grab something to eat together?"

As Chen Mobai spoke, he pointed to the empty seats.

"There are no chopsticks left."

Qing Nü interjected.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I came here to explain why Cui'er was late today."

"Oh, is there some hidden story behind this? Didn't Senior Pei say that the sword's unsealing took longer than expected?"

Wenren Xuewei shook her head slightly, then sat down under Qing Nü's gaze and began to speak to herself.

"Actually, she had already unsealed part of the power of the Azurefrost Sword last night. The reason she deliberately arrived late today is because she listened to my advice and wanted to form a good relationship with you, Junior Brother Chen."

"Good karma?"

Chen Mobai looked puzzled; he still didn't understand.

"The outcome of your battle with her is still uncertain, but the Enlightenment Tea is most effective for those who have never drunk it before. As long as she is late, the first place prize will definitely be yours."

Only after hearing this did Chen Mobai understand what Wenren Xuewei meant.

"Why should she have to give up my reward!"

Chen Mobai put down his chopsticks and said calmly.

Wenren Xuewei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then shook her head with a wry smile and began to explain.

"The Enlightenment Tea will be more beneficial to you than it is to you. You are Potential for Spirit Transmutation, and the Immortal Sect is already preparing to World Opening. With your talent for Spell Duel, you are very likely to soar to great heights in the World Opening War world. Our goodwill today is also somewhat selfish, hoping to bring greater rewards in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was finally a little surprised and taken aback.

"I never expected that you would have so much confidence in me."

Although Chen Mobai often said he dreamed of becoming the Immortal Sect Master and Dao Attainment, he had a very clear self-awareness. Core Formation already required exhausting all the resources and foundation he had accumulated in both realms; Nascent Formation was something he didn't even dare to dream of.

Unexpectedly, Wenren Xuewei and others were so certain that they would achieve great things in the future that they were already placing their bets in advance.

"Then I'll be going now."

After Wenren Xuewei finished speaking, she got up and left.

Before she turned around, she glanced at Qing Nü was eating silently, intentionally or unintentionally.

What do you think?

When they were alone, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nü a question. The latter paused for a moment, then chewed the Spirit Rice in her mouth and slowly spoke.

"Kindness is always better than malice. In the great system of the Immortal Sect, unless you are Spirit Transmutation Ancestor, everyone needs to cultivate connections to make cultivation smoother."

"That Possessing the Dao."

Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that Qing Nü's thoughts were highly consistent with his own.

In any case, he has definitely obtained the Enlightenment Tea.

I was originally thinking of not Pei Azurefrost, since there was no benefit to it and I might even get hurt.

However, since Wenren Xuewei had made a special trip to explain, Chen Mobai couldn't very well stand her up.

Oh well, let's just consider it another workout.

"Be careful, Pei Azurefrost is no ordinary cultivator."

After finishing the meal and cleaning up the dishes, Chen Mobai was about to leave when Qing Nü reminded him.

"I know that anyone who can make Lan Haitan wary must be very strong."

"No, I mean her identity is unusual; her mother is Peach Blossom Venerable."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly shocked.

No wonder he possesses the Fourth Grade Azurefrost Sword and can also drink Enlightenment Tea; he's a descendant of the Nascent Soul stage.

With his thoughts racing, Chen Mobai slowly arrived at the Lake Island.

He immediately spotted Pei Azurefrost standing in the middle of the lake with her sword suspended in the air, and he couldn't help but suppress all his distracting thoughts as he landed on the circular arena.

"The sword is named Azure Frost, inherited from the Sword Tower of the Mountain Sea Academy, and Fourth Tier High-grade."

Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Pei Azurefrost began the Sword Announcing Ceremony according to the rules of Sword Cultivator.

She reached out and grasped the hilt of the Azurefrost Sword Hilt, which was suspended in mid-air. Then, a vast and powerful sword intent erupted, like a divine sword soaring into the sky, cutting through the lake surface where she stood, revealing the gnarled tree roots and silt at the bottom of the lake.

Faced with a Fourth Grade flying sword, Chen Mobai, as usual, drew out his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.

Although the gap between the Second Grade and Fourth Grade is huge, he still had to draw his sword.

However, Pei Azurefrost did not seem to be able to fully control the power of the Azurefrost Sword. After a while, her cheeks began to turn red, and the sword intent that erupted from her body seemed to have reached its peak. Then, she released the Sword Hilt with her right hand, and the powerful sword intent suddenly retracted. She was like a long sword in its sheath, becoming ordinary again.

"My cultivation is limited, and I can only absorb four sword energies from the Azurefrost Sword. If you can withstand four sword strikes, I will consider it a loss."

Pei Azurefrost floated on the lake, her skin as cold as ice and as smooth as jade. A chilling sword intent spread with her words, like a cold wave sweeping across the road in the dead of night. No matter how thick the clothes she wore, they could not block its bone-chilling cold.

"This is the first one, Frost White!"

As the onlookers trembled, Pei Azurefrost opened her right hand, her five jade-like fingers spread wide, and a pure white, cold current condensed in her palm into a gleaming white sword of energy.

The sword of energy swept across the sky, freezing the entire lake surface in its wake, and even spreading outwards.

In the blink of an eye, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

This sword strike can actually influence Celestial Phenomena!

Chen Mobai clearly sensed that this was sword energy, but its strength was no less than his own sword aura.

With a spit, a Sword Pellet, which had absorbed ten drops of Liquid Spiritual Power in its dantian beforehand, exploded the moment it flew out. The cyan-colored Flowing Light shot out like a small cyan-gold sun, meeting Pei Azurefrost's Azure Azurefrost Sword Qi.

Although the sword aura was clearly two levels higher than the sword energy, the Azure Flame Sword Sha was actually at a disadvantage in the clash between the two forces.

Chen Mobai's eyes flashed, and the Sun Ascension Technique erupted, raising the temperature of his sword aura once again.

He then made a fist with both hands, and a dazzling blue lightning bolt burst from his ten fingers, instantly condensing into a Thunder Ball the size of a head, which suddenly slammed into Pei Azurefrost's unstoppable, snow-white qi sword.

Amidst a deafening roar.

Three Third Grade forces erupted, and in an instant, half of the entire arena was frozen and the other half was evaporated.

Amidst this spectacle, Pei Azurefrost's gaze grew even colder, and she seemed to transform into a cold and ruthless divine sword, soaring high into the air with the Azurefrost Sword. A chilling aura gathered in her left palm, but at this moment it condensed into pure black sword energy.

"Frost Dark!"
