Finally, only Wu Ting was left to be interviewed, so the host went directly to his side.
"Contestant Wu Ting, what level can our cultivators actually reach? The Myth say they can ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, capable of anything. Do you really think that's possible?"
"Can."
Although he wasn't the tallest among them, when Wu Ting spoke, everyone who heard him felt an invisible aura surrounding him, as if he were a highly skilled master.
The other three were also cultivators, but when they didn't unleash their magical Magic Power or display their supernatural abilities, they were no different from ordinary people. But Wu Ting was different; just by standing there, he gave people a sense of security.
"Cultivation breaks the bonds that heaven and earth place on the individual. Although we don't know who first pioneered the path of cultivation, its purpose is to pursue great freedom. Heaven and earth are eternal, while human life is like a fleeting dream, lacking freedom; the universe is boundless, while the body is confined to a tiny piece of land, lacking freedom; cultivation is about seeking one's true self, transcending and achieving freedom. The so-called ascending to heaven or descending to earth are merely byproducts of cultivation."
Unlike the previous one, Wu Ting was not taciturn; he did offer a brief explanation.
"In that case, the Myth of the past may all become reality in the near future. I hope we can see that day in our lifetime."
After asking a few simple questions about cultivation, the draw results for this competition have been released. The first match is between Wu Ting and Tie Xingzhen, and the second match is between Brother Gou and Lin Yinxuan.
All four individuals are highly skilled, and the audience is always eagerly anticipating any two of them facing off.
After the draw, the arena was quickly cleared out. The previous battle between the two cultivators had damaged one of the arenas, so the arena for this battle had been reinforced again, with several layers of high-strength material added to its surface.
The players who weren't scheduled to go on stage, along with the host, left the stage, leaving only Tie Xingzhen and Wu Ting on stage.
"I never imagined that the saying 'true masters are often found among ordinary people' was not just a joke. I really don't understand why someone of your caliber hasn't participated in any official training programs Divine Land."
As Tie Xingzhen spoke, he took off his upper garment. The battle between cultivators was extremely fierce, and if he were to keep his clothes on, he feared he would lose them.
"I've just been practicing for a while longer, nothing special."
Wu Ting adopted a traditional Tai Chi starting stance. Although it was similar to the stance of most traditional martial arts practitioners, a faint aura emanated from him as he assumed the stance, causing his clothes to billow.
"Bring it on!"
Tie Xingzhen also got into a fighting stance. Since his opponent was a cultivator, the fight was naturally different from the previous childish games. Tie Xingzhen directly activated his Magic Power, his whole body shimmering with a metallic luster. His movements did not stop, his Magic Power structure was activated, and a light flashed in his hand.
After the spell was completed, Tie Xingzhen strode forward and rushed towards Wu Ting. In just one step, he was in front of Wu Ting, raising his right fist high. As he raised his hand, the spell on his hand took effect, transforming his raised fist into the shape of a giant hammer.
The spell he used was called the Weapon Transformation Technique. Once mastered, it could transform any part of the body into a weapon, giving one the upper hand in combat and making one invincible. Although he had only just begun to learn it, he could still transform his fist into a hammer.
That punch was powerful and heavy; if it landed on someone, it would probably flatten them.
Just as the hammer was about to land on Wu Ting's head, Wu Ting made his move. He didn't deliberately reach out to block it, but instead drew a circle with both hands in front of him, as if he were practicing Tai Chi, completely ignoring the incoming punch.
As he swept his hands around, it was as if an invisible protective layer appeared around his body. The punch was powerful and heavy, but after hitting this protective layer, it seemed to lose all its strength and could not break through the defense.
Of course, such great force did not disappear for no reason. Under Wu Ting's feet, with the impact of this punch, countless cracks appeared, spreading outwards from Wu Ting's feet in all directions of the arena.
That punch was indeed very strong, but Wu Ting used the power of Tai Chi to deflect all the force of the punch into his feet, so he himself was completely unharmed.
"Impressive technique! Behold my Vajra Spike!"
When Tie Xingzhen's first attack failed, he also used his other hand, which transformed into a long, cone-shaped spike that stabbed towards Wu Ting. The spike was also covered with Magic Power, making it extremely difficult to deflect the force this time.
The attack of this thorn was indeed very sharp. Before it even pierced Wu Ting's clothes, its sharp aura had already pierced a hole in them.
It's true that Tai Chi can deflect force, but it can't be ignored when faced with an attack that targets a specific point to break through the entire area.
Just as the dagger was about to strike, Wu Ting changed his right hand into a palm, then reached out and pinched it between his index and ring fingers, catching the incoming Vajra Spike.
Although Tie Xingzhen strong, Wu Ting was also quite strong. This attack intercepted him midway, and the spikes that were originally aimed at his body were stopped in place by him.
With his hand caught in Wu Ting's grasp, Tie Xingzhen was about to pull it back immediately, but he was surprised to find that Wu Ting's strength seemed to be no less than his own, and it was actually quite difficult to pull his hand back.
"Hey!"
Wu Ting didn't just stand there and take the beating; he launched a counterattack.
He pressed his tongue against his upper teeth and then let out a soft shout, which drew Tie Xingzhen's attention, causing him to focus on Wu Ting.
Wu Ting had been waiting for this moment. The instant his eyes met Tie Xingzhen's, Wu Ting's eyes widened in fury, as if a beam of light was shooting out from them.
" Eye Strike!"
Wu Ting uttered two words softly, and then Tie Xingzhen inexplicably took two steps back, as if he had been pushed.
This move was indeed created by Wu Ting himself. He combined his long-studied martial arts with the books given to him by Li Xingkong to create this Eye Strike, Witness, which uses his own mental will to compete with his opponent.
Although Tie Xingzhen was a cultivator, he was only at the Qi Refining and had not yet reached the stage of tempering his spirit. Therefore, due to his carelessness, he naturally fell victim to the attack.
" Dragon-Tiger Intent."
After successfully landing his first attack, Wu Ting immediately launched his second move. He turned around, and his Magic Power erupted, condensing into a dragon and tiger shape around his body. Before Tie Xingzhen could react, he unleashed a powerful attack.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge this attack, Tie Xingzhen had no choice but to raise his hands to take the hit head-on, as he was confident in his defensive abilities.
But when the attack landed on him, he realized something was wrong. Most of the force of the attack was not blocked outside his skin; instead, it entered his body like a powerful force.
Only then does it begin to wreak havoc inside the body.
This was not a physical attack; it was clearly imbued with Magic Power. Wu Ting's fist and foot attacks were more like a spell, with each move affecting both the physical and mental aspects.
