Thoroughly Seen Through

Chen Mobai called Lian Maozhi, who was the first to appear, to his side and gave him a few words of advice. Although the latter did not quite understand, he still nodded and went on stage.

Bai Si was indeed very powerful. Although Lian Maozhi relied on the powerful defense of his body tempering to hold out for a long time, he was eventually defeated by Bai Si's Wanhua Timely Rain Sword Art and his physical body was broken.

"Sect Leader, I have disappointed you."

After Lian Maozhi was knocked off the stage, he bowed his head and said to Chen Mobai.

"No, you have done an excellent job of the task I assigned you."

As Chen Mobai spoke, faint golden lines appeared in his clear eyes.

"Yes."

After hearing this, Lian Maozhi returned to his original position.

Chen Mobai looked at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the other seven sects, and everyone raised their heads, hoping to be chosen.

Although they knew their chances of winning against Bai Si were slim, losing one of them would relieve them of any psychological burden, and the sooner they lost, the more impression they would leave on the Sect Leader.

However, Chen Mobai had already mentally prepared a list of opponents. According to his estimate, about four people would be enough to completely see through Bai Si's true nature, and then Mu Yuan would be the fifth to make a grand finale appearance, giving her a complete defeat.

Although Bai Si now has to fight eight, let's stick to the original plan.

"Nephew Ding..."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Ding Ying shuddered and immediately stood up, bowing respectfully.

"Once you're up there, focus on a solid defense..."

Chen Mobai used Telepathic Message to tell Ding Ying in detail what he had asked her to do, and even mentioned the flaws he had seen in the Timely Rain Sword Art during their previous exchange, so that she could try to test and verify them during their next fight.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

After listening to Chen Mobai's instructions, Ding Ying nodded quickly, indicating that she had kept everything in mind and would do her best to complete the Sect Leader's task.

After taking the stage, Ding Ying worked even harder than Lian Maozhi. She pushed her cultivation of the Longevity Sutra to an unprecedented peak and performed a Spirit Leaf Technique with consummate skill. Despite being in a sorry state under Bai Si's torrential rain of sword energy, she persisted and never retreated a single step.

After Bai Si launched three rounds of attacks, seeing that he could not break the Spirit Leaf Technique with conventional means, his clear eyes lit up with a pale blue light. Then, his sword energy was upgraded, transforming into a pale blue sword rainbow that soared into the sky, like Flowing Water Blade, carrying a sharp, cold glint.

Upon seeing this, Ding Ying frowned, but gritted her teeth and made a cut on her fingertip. Then, using her blood as ink, she drew a talisman in the air, maximizing the power of the Spirit Leaf Technique.

Bai Si, however, looked arrogant and directly wielded his Flowing Water Blade to strike the very center of the Spirit Leaf Technique.

He was determined to use his sword to pierce through his opponent's strongest shield.

But where she couldn't see, Ding Ying had her other hand behind her back, and she also squeezed her fingertips to draw a Clear Wind Talisman.

With a splashing sound, the Flowing Water Blade and the Spirit Leaf Technique began to collide, bursting out with a bright blue-green light.

At this moment, Ding Ying also unleashed a Clear Wind Talisman that she had gathered behind her. A strong wind containing Longevity Spiritual Power surged behind her, whistling around the center of the two's fight, drawing a semi-circle on the arena, and landing beside Bai Si.

"Hmm?"

Bai Si was somewhat surprised, but with her high cultivation level, she circulated her spiritual energy and waved her slender, snow-white right hand. Another sword rainbow appeared, like clear water turning into a whirlpool, spinning around her in mid-air, forming a defense without any blind spots.

The strong wind slammed into the swirling water, but dissipated completely in just a few breaths.

At this moment, Ding Ying's Spirit Leaf Technique also ran out of power and was broken by the Flowing Water Blade.

Seeing that Ding Ying was about to be cut down by the pale blue Flowing Water Blade, Bai Si immediately activated his spiritual power, preparing to change the direction of his sword rainbow strike. Suddenly, a golden flame flashed on the arena.

A scorching heat, like a mortal enemy, swept outwards in all directions, sending chills down the spines of all the Blowing Snow Palace cultivators present.

In an instant, Bai Si's Flowing Water Blade was completely evaporated.

After the sword rainbow that threatened Ding Ying's life was extinguished, the golden flame also disappeared.

It seemed that the flame was only able to neutralize Bai Si's Flowing Water Blade.

"I acted in a moment of desperation, please forgive me, Sect Leader Zhu and Junior Nephew Bai."

Chen Mobai spoke somewhat awkwardly to Zhu Jinyu beside him and Bai Si on the arena. At this moment, the two were still in the same state of mind as before, when the spiritual energy was giving them a frantic warning, as if they were facing off against mortal enemies.

That Golden Flame... could it be...?

Zhu Jinyu thought of the Extreme Sun Slash the Primordial Ancestor used to rampage through the three realms of the Eastern Domain. That was a unique skill that even the Fourth Grade great demon of Cloud Dream Marsh was beaten into running away with its tail between its legs. It was the most effective counter to ice attribute.

The Divine Wood Sect's Sect Master Chen clearly just Core Formation, yet he's already sublimated the Azure Flame Sword Sha into "Golden Flame" so quickly?!

If it were anyone else, Zhu Jinyu certainly wouldn't believe it.

But just now she personally felt the pulsation of her own spiritual power. That extremely hot Golden Flame was definitely a sign that she had mastered the Crimson Flame Sword Art!

Moreover, when Chen Mobai was in the Foundation Establishment, he was already Eastern Wasteland with his Azure Flame Sword Sha. After Core Formation, he had his own Pill Fire. Perhaps the Divine Wood Sect also had some secret method for quickly condensing Golden Flame, as well as various precious spiritual objects to assist him. It is conceivable that he could refine Golden Flame.

But... to have mastered the Golden Flame so skillfully after just learning it, this talent is simply terrifying! Zhu Jinyu recalled the scene of Chen Mobai using a single point of Golden Flame to perfectly cancel out Bai Si's sword rainbow, and her heart was shaken, unable to calm down even now.

Bai Si, standing on the arena, first frowned, then seemed to think of Golden Flame as well. A look of horror suddenly flashed in his originally clear eyes as he looked incredulously at the handsome young man sitting below the stage, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed.

Is this the strongest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wasteland in a thousand years?! Why would such a monstrous talent be in the Eastern Wasteland?

"I lost."

Just as Bai Si was in shock, Ding Ying smiled sweetly on the other side, as if losing the game had actually relieved her of the pent-up frustration that had been building up in her heart for so long.

"Hmm, well done."

After stepping down from the stage, Chen Mobai said something to Ding Ying, who was overjoyed.

With her almond-shaped eyes and peach-blossom cheeks, she was already beautiful. After receiving the praise, she knew that she was now just like any other disciple in the Sect Leader's eyes, and she became even more radiant and charming.

"Jinghuo, you go up third."

However, among all the disciples, Xi Jinghuo was the one who had the best relationship with Chen Mobai. The way he spoke to her was different; it was like a conversation between close friends.

"Good."

Xi Jinghuo did not refuse. Before he went on stage, Chen Mobai called him to his side and gave him much more guidance than the previous two people.

At this moment, no one noticed that the golden light in Chen Mobai's left eye, which was originally just a few lines, was now almost outlining a complete human figure.

Please advise!

After Xi Jinghuo went on stage, he said three words, then clasped his hands together and pulled them to the left and right. A crimson rainbow light, like a sword and like fire, appeared between his palms.

Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow!

With his talent, although he couldn't use the Sword Rainbow while Qi Refining like Chen Mobai, he easily mastered it after reaching Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, as friends, the two often drank together in Divine Wood City in Little South Mountain. Chen Mobai would also share his Sword Heart with him. Xi Jinghuo, but after a while, he felt at ease and happily began to ask for advice.

With Chen Mobai, the Eastern Wasteland First Sword Cultivator, by his side, Xi Jinghuo's path of cultivation was clear and well-defined from the very beginning.

To become the second Chen Mobai, Xi Jinghuo Crimson Flame Sword Art can be said to be full of Chen Mobai's Shadows.

Upon seeing the Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow, Bai Si forcibly snapped out of her daze from the Golden Flame that had just terrified her. She also focused her mind and directly activated the Timely Rain Sword Art to the level of the Sword Rainbow.

In a duel between Water and Fire sword techniques, theoretically, the Water Attribute sword technique should have the advantage.

However, thanks to Chen Mobai's guidance, Xi Jinghuo learned about the various flaws in Bai Si Sword Art that could not be remedied due to insufficient cultivation. Therefore, despite being countered by Timely Rain Sword Art, she actually seized the initiative and suppressed the Flowing Water Blade.

Bai Si felt increasingly uncomfortable as she fought, unaware that her Timely Rain Sword Art contained such flaws.

If it weren't for her higher cultivation level and stronger Spiritual Sense, which allowed her to manipulate her spiritual power at any time to change her sword moves and sword rainbows, she probably would have been defeated by Xi Jinghuo in the very first move.

"It must be that Sect Master Chen, with his Core Formation realm, saw the flaws in my sword technique during our two exchanges just now. I can't rush things. I defeated my opponent in a very short time. Even if he revealed a flaw, it wouldn't be too many. As long as I can withstand his initial three blows, I'll soon be able to turn the tide by relying on my higher realm!"

Bai Si is hailed as Five-Colored Immortal Seed, and he is naturally not the kind of cultivator who only has talent. He has been training in the Eastern Wasteland, Qi Refining Foundation Establishment, and has fought countless battles. Many rogue Spell Duel Rogue Cultivator have died under his sword.

Although she was suppressed by Xi Jinghuo, she did not panic. She used the most reliable Whirlpool Flowing Water Style to protect herself and resist the fierce and scorching Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow.

As expected, with the passage of time, Xi Jinghuo's sword moves and sword rainbows were no longer as difficult to parry as they had been at the beginning.

Gradually, Bai Si began to fight back.

After six moves, the balance of power had shifted, and Xi Jinghuo was now being suppressed by her sword rainbow.

Finally, on the seventeenth move, Xi Jinghuo's face turned pale, having exhausted too much spiritual energy. The Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow in his hand flickered for a moment before being annihilated by the Flowing Water Blade, turning into wisps of green smoke.

However, to avoid provoking Chen Mobai to use the Golden Flame again, Bai Si had already stopped beforehand.

"I lost!"

After the Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow was broken, Xi Jinghuo readily admitted defeat and stepped down from the stage.

However, the way the people from the Blowing Snow Palace looked at Xi Jinghuo was completely different now. After all, everyone had seen Bai Si's disheveled state at the beginning, and they did not expect that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect could actually do this.

Another kendo genius!

Although he is not as prodigious as Chen Mobai, he will probably not be inferior to Bai Si, the most talented person in the Blowing Snow Palace, once he grows up!

Thinking this, Zhu Jinyu sighed again, "Why are all the geniuses in the Divine Wood Sect? Their Blowing Snow Palace has always been based in the Yun Country, but the Lei Kingdom is poaching their talents..."

"Disciple Yin ..."

At this moment, Chen Mobai had already called Yin Qingmei over.

Since joining the Divine Wood Sect, Yin Qingmei has only left Giant Wood Ridge once, which was to recruit disciples in the Yun Country. As a result, she recruited Chen Mobai, a super rare special-grade disciple.

This trip was her first time leaving the territory of the Divine Wood Sect, and she was extremely excited.

She was also thinking that she should make a good impression on Chen Mobai during their journey and see if she could be persuaded to obtain the Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra because of her obedient nature and powerful talent.

Chen Mobai closed his left eye, and the golden figure in his pupil was almost completely outlined. He had seen through Bai Si and Timely Rain Sword Art. After speaking to Yin Qingmei, he gave her one last instruction.

"Unless she masters the Sword Light, if you do as I say, she will definitely not be your match."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Yin Qingmei was still somewhat skeptical about this. After all, she possessed Heaven Spirit Root and was very confident in her talent. She couldn't imagine that someone could see through a late-stage Foundation Establishment genius in just three short Spell Duel.

Even when she went on stage, Yin Qingmei still had some doubts. But after exchanging three moves with Bai Si, she discovered that the moves and spells her opponent used were exactly the same as those Chen Mobai had told her.

The more they fought, the more confident Yin Qingmei became.

As Heaven Spirit Root, she has been a precious treasure protected by others since she joined the Divine Wood Sect. She has little experience in Spell Duel. Although she knew all of Bai Si's moves in advance, she was still somewhat tense and solemn when fighting against Bai Si, a cultivator who had been tempered by life and death.

After exchanging three blows, she felt completely at ease. With a clear understanding of the situation, she used the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light and the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Art to neutralize and break through her opponent's sword rainbow sword moves one by one.

The more Bai Si fought Yin Qingmei, the more alarmed she became. She felt as if she had no cover in front of her opponent, and all her sword techniques were predicted.

It was as if her opponent had watched her cultivate since childhood and understood her better than she understood herself! After another move of the Turbid Stream Sword Style was blocked and deflected by the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light in Yin Qingmei's palm, Bai Si gritted her teeth and knew that she could only use her ultimate move!

Her pale blue sword light disintegrated in an instant, like water droplets turning into misty rain, which suddenly fell on Yin Qingmei's Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light Shield.

Then a stunning deep blue Sword Light shone through the misty rain, as if the deep sea had come ashore, carrying the force of a torrential downpour, and sent Yin Qingmei out of the arena.
