At that critical moment, Ji Wuchang swayed and vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in the middle of the arena, his face slightly pale.
His hands were trembling slightly as well. The collision just now had sent waves of searing pain through both his fists!
In the end, his cultivation had put him at a disadvantage, leaving him pinned down by Jin Enting's attacks.
"Ji Wuchang, your cultivation is too weak. You're no match for me!"
Jin Enting turned around and spoke, brimming with fighting spirit.
Everyone present fell silent upon hearing Jin Enting's words, because he had spoken the truth!
"Senior Sister, hurry and think of something!"
Huang Wanqiu looked at Zhen Miaoqing and spoke urgently.
Zhen Miaoqing rolled her eyes at her. This was a match taking place right before them. What could she possibly do?
Was she supposed to lend Ji Wuchang her strength?
Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do that!
"There's nothing we can do. He can only rely on himself!"
Zhen Miaoqing spoke calmly!
The elders of the Longevity Sect had also fallen silent. In all honesty, Ji Wuchang's combat strength had already far exceeded their expectations!
Zhen Yaotian was a little nervous as well, but none of it showed on his face.
Meng Caihong's expression was taut, while her eyes shone brightly. This disciple had given her a tremendous surprise today.
Having fought to this extent, even if he lost afterward, no one in the Longevity Sect would dare say anything against Ji Wuchang!
Ji Wuchang looked at Jin Enting, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said calmly, "You're right. The gap between our cultivation levels is a little too wide!"
"Since that's the case, I'll raise my cultivation!"
As Ji Wuchang's words fell, the entire venue went silent. Many people looked at him as though he were an idiot.
Could cultivation be raised just because someone said so?
Even Jin Enting froze where he stood, unsure what Ji Wuchang meant!
"System, check in!"
Ji Wuchang ignored everyone's strange looks. He hadn't used his check-in today, having saved it specifically for the main peak.
[Ding! Check-in at the Longevity Sect's main peak successful. Reward: twenty years of cultivation! Fortune points +20.]
The system's voice rang out in Ji Wuchang's mind, and his eyes instantly lit up. This was the greatest check-in reward he had received since obtaining the system.
The main peak truly lived up to its name. Its fortune points were indeed far greater than those of the other peaks.
At the same time, an enormous surge of spiritual power appeared inside Ji Wuchang's body. Without the slightest hesitation, he circulated the purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art, channeling that vast spiritual power into his dantian.
At that moment, Ji Wuchang's cultivation began to soar, climbing higher and higher!
Early-stage Qi Refining eighth layer, late-stage Qi Refining eighth layer, peak Qi Refining eighth layer.
His cultivation did not stop rising. It broke straight through the peak of the Qi Refining eighth layer and reached the early stage of the Qi Refining ninth layer.
Ji Wuchang was startled. Not daring to let his cultivation rise any further, he hurriedly channeled the excess spiritual power into his internal organs.
He was determined to push the Qi Refining Realm to the Qi Refining tenth layer. Before completing his divine treasures, he could not let his cultivation soar any further, or he would regret it for the rest of his life!
"What's going on? Why did Senior Brother Ji's cultivation suddenly soar? Did he use some secret art?"
"I didn't see Senior Brother Ji take any pills!"
"Could Senior Brother Ji have deliberately concealed his cultivation earlier?"
Ji Wuchang's soaring cultivation instantly set the entire Longevity Sect abuzz. Everyone began discussing it, excitement appearing on every face!
Zhen Yaotian was also slightly surprised, but a smile appeared on his lips.
"Third Elder, isn't this disciple of yours a little too good at putting on an act?"
Yin Shuyao looked at Meng Caihong beside her, a hint of sourness entering her voice!
Ji Wuchang possessed such terrifying combat strength at such a young age, and had even spent several hours in Wind Thunder Valley. He was certain to become one of the sect's heaven's chosen in the future.
Meng Caihong was also too shocked to speak. She had thought Ji Wuchang was already outstanding, but only now did she realize how greatly she had underestimated him!
"Fourth Elder, this is simply keeping his abilities hidden, not putting on an act! Still, I was in seclusion for a while recently, so I really wasn't very clear about his cultivation!"
Meng Caihong spoke with a smile, her words full of delight.
The other elders all cast envious glances at Meng Caihong. Who wouldn't want a disciple like that?
"How is this possible? This isn't real?"
Tai Yujie muttered to herself. Ji Wuchang had shocked her so many times today that she was almost speechless.
An Kexin looked toward Meng Caihong in the spectator stands, a trace of resentment appearing in her eyes.
She felt that her master must have given Ji Wuchang special instruction. Otherwise, how could his cultivation have increased so quickly?
"Eldest Senior Sister, this brat is far too good at pretending! He's had us jumping at every turn! No, once the match is over, I'm going to give him a beating. Don't stop me!"
"My heart was in my throat just now! I've never been this nervous even when competing myself!"
Huang Wanqiu looked at Zhen Miaoqing and complained!
Zhen Miaoqing looked at Ji Wuchang, her eyes shining.
After all these years, she had finally encountered someone interesting in the sect.
As for Huang Wanqiu's words, she ignored them entirely!
Zhen Miaoqing did not notice that Cai Ping had been watching her from a short distance away.
Upon seeing the expression on Zhen Miaoqing's face, Cai Ping's face instantly turned cold. He looked toward Ji Wuchang in the arena, a flicker of killing intent flashing through his eyes!
Cai Ping had followed behind Zhen Miaoqing for so many years, yet he had never seen such a light in her eyes!
Anyone who dared touch the woman he, Cai Ping, liked would die!
Ji Wuchang had no idea that Cai Ping had inexplicably come to resent him.
Had he known, he would surely have felt more wronged than Dou E!
"Kill!"
Jin Enting's face was dark as he lunged at Ji Wuchang, forming seals with both hands and unleashing the Hundred Beasts Fist!
His fists crossed, brimming with killing intent, while a savage, baleful aura spilled from his body.
The moment the people from the Great Saber Pavilion saw Jin Enting in this state, they knew he was enraged. This was also when he was most dangerous.
Ji Wuchang snorted coldly. Feeling the immense power within his body, his fighting spirit instantly soared.
Ji Wuchang unleashed the Thunder Explosion Fist, clashing furiously head-on with Jin Enting.
This time, their close-quarters struggle was terrifying. As their power surged, they actually smashed deep pits into the ground!
With a bang, Ji Wuchang sent Jin Enting flying with a punch.
Ji Wuchang then used the Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Steps, appearing directly in front of Jin Enting and slamming two consecutive punches into his body.
With the gap in their cultivation leveled, Ji Wuchang directly overwhelmed Jin Enting, beating him back step by step!
Although Jin Enting resisted desperately, no matter what he tried, he was completely on the back foot at this moment.
At that moment, all the Longevity Sect disciples erupted!
As Ji Wuchang slammed another punch into Jin Enting, Jin Enting flew backward, nearly being forced off the arena.
Jin Enting opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
