The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 74
However, losing Li Dong Yue could only be expected.
After all, there were many warriors before who had lost even without any clear signs of loss, so everyone was rather prepared that this sort of thing would happen again. Moreover, Ling Han could form four flashes of Sword Qi, which gave him invincibility among those with the same cultivation level, even if his cultivation level was still somewhat low.
"Thank you for the match!" Ling Han said, clasping his hands politely. Yet he could not help but ponder, would all his opponents let him win all the way to first place?
As the fight between Ling Han and Li Dong Yue's fight ended, everyone turned their attention back to the duel between the Fourth Prince and Jin Wuji. Both of them were young geniuses who studied at Hu Yang Academy, so their respective abilities were quite evenly distributed. There was no power gap too great between the two of them.
But when Qi Yong Ye started using the Sky Child Fist Technique, Jin Wuji immediately fell into an unfavorable position.
When the Son of Heaven appears, all will submit!
This was a kind of aura dominance, and only a Prince like Qi Yong Ye could cultivate this technique. Even if Jin Wuji learned the same technique, it would still be a waste. He did not have the royal heritage necessary to tap into his potential.
'Rumor has it that stealing a country's heavenly weapons would allow manipulation of that country's power. It would not only accelerate the rate of cultivation, but it could also be used against one's enemies, increasing your own battle prowess. The rumors are not wrong. Just a mere Prince, and he had such strength, Ling Han nodded to himself.
The strength of the nation was an ability equivalent to four flashes of Sword Qi. According to the slang of the Rain Country, this would be the standard of the ruler.
If Da Yuan King were to use this fist technique, he would probably be able to reach around the level of seven Qi flashes since he was a true noble. For the true ruler of the nation. . .he might have strength equivalent to ten flashes of Qi, at the level of completion.
However, Qi was only the first step in martial arts. One still had to go through the 'Point' before being able to reach the highest level, 'Heart'. Thus, cultivation in the end still depended on the efforts of individual martial artists, ' thought Ling Han, however he had to admit – to be able to manipulate and harness the power of a nation at the low level of the Elemental Gathering Element and raise his personal battle prowess to a new level was already quite impressive, even if it's just the smallest part.
'Based on Qi Yong Ye's current abilities, he was practically half a foot into the Gushing Spring Tier. Maybe my little maid is no match for him either. After all, he had just formed a second flash of Sword Qi, so he still had no way of rivaling the power of the ruler he had.
If it was me, I would definitely need to use Lone Wolf's Blood to increase my strength to the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier. Otherwise, I would have to rely on the self-recovery ability of the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll and slowly tire him out. With the Dead Tree Body ability that I have now, my defense is not something that a martial artist in the Element Gathering Tier can break down!
I better use Lone Wolf's Blood. The Unbreakable Heaven Scroll is my true trump card. I should avoid using it if I can. '
While he had been pensively thinking, the battle between Qi Yong Ye and Jin Wuji was already nearing its conclusion. The Sky Child Fist Technique bestowed Qi Yong Ye the battle prowess of a ruler and allowed him to fully master Jin Wuji. As long as Jin Wuji himself had yet to form four flashes of Qi, he couldn't possibly match Qi Yong Ye.
There's nothing to do. Qi Yong Ye had the advantage of a good and noble background, and this was something that even Liu Yu Tong could not compare to.
"Penet!"
By the time Qi Yong Ye threw his eleventh punch, Jin Wuji could no longer hold back and was immediately thrown away. With "Ao ~", he spat out four mouths full of blood, half kneeling on the floor, no longer able to continue the battle.
"I'm losing!" Jin Wuji stated with a slight reluctance. In fact, he didn't lose because he was weaker, or because he was less talented. Instead, he lost because his opponent had a better background than him. How could he not become depressed at this reality?
"Thank you for the match!" Qi Yong Ye clasped his hands politely in response. Although his victory was due to the Sky Child Fist Technique, it was only possible if he managed to learn it. There were so many imperial princes and princes in the Rain Country, but how many actually managed to learn this technique?
The name of a genius, he endured it without guilt.
However, when the two of them saw that Ling Han had actually arrived at the third tournament stage, they could not help but be surprised. Previously, they had been too engrossed in their own battles, and had yet to see Ling Han fight with Baili Teng Yun and Li Dong Yue. Naturally, they had no idea that Ling Han was strong so far, or even the fact that he had formed four flashes of Sword Qi.
The other Stage Masters wanted to continue watching the match, but as the duel between the two greatest young lords had ended, they began to issue their own challenges in order to achieve better placement. Doing a favor for Ling Han was one thing, but if they could get a better ranking, who wouldn't want to try?
Currently, the space in his dantian was still too small, and with the high-powered rotation of the Five Elements Origin Nuclei, his Origin Power backup was ejected too quickly. After the fierce battle, he had to take an alchemy pill to aid his recovery, so this half an hour of time was also very important to him.
Immediately, half an hour had passed and Ling Han jumped onto the second tournament stage to challenge the martial artists who were ranked second in this tournament.
It fell into the expectations of all the spectators and they all stared with their eyes wide open, unwilling to miss a single moment. After all, this was the first genius in the entire Da Yuan City who had managed to form four flashes of Qi.
Jin Wuji had a somewhat awkward expression on his face. A few days ago, he was tricked by Ling Han, which embarrassed him in public. But when he remembered that there were three Black-class alchemists behind Ling Han, even if he did not leave any thoughts of revenge, it was likely that his seniors in the Jin Clan would force him to give up on such a foolish attempt.
After all, the worst group of people that can offend you in this world are alchemists.
However, such an incredible humiliation, how could he just let it go?
'Alright, you are challenging me, so I can take advantage of this opportunity to teach you a lesson! As long as I don't give you any permanent injuries, no one can say anything! After all, this was a martial arts tournament! ' Jin Wuji thought, his gaze instantly turned sharp.
"Brother Ling, please offer your guidance!" He clapped both of his palms and both of his hands immediately dazzled brightly like gold. This was Jin Yang Palms, a Yellow Grade high-level martial arts technique.
Ling Han swung his sword in a sword move, and said, "Please!"
"Whoosh," Jin Wuji immediately began a powerful attack. As his palm flew out to attack, a bright light shone.
Ling Han gave out a wave of his sword, and four flashes of Sword Qi immediately appeared. Since he had already revealed his abilities, then he naturally had no intention to hide his prowess anymore.
"What, four flashes of Sword Qi !?" Jin Wuji exclaimed in surprise, his face twitching involuntarily in his shock.
Four flashes of Sword Qi, it was their ruler who was at the same cultivation level! Even in the imperial city, there were only a few rare ones that had reached incredible heights of having four flashes of Qi, and all of them were absolute powerhouses of the older generation! How could Jin Wuji not be too surprised?
But he soon realized that although there were some who were panting and exclaiming in awe, and some who were waving their hands and stumbling in excitement, there were no expressions of surprise among the spectators.
Hey, hey, hey. These are the four flashes of Sword Qi, aren't you guys seeing this?
Could it be he who had seen wrongly?
Jin Wuji could not help the doubt that appeared in his heart. After all, how rare had it been to reach four flashes of Sword Qi? Even if it appeared in the imperial city, it was enough to create a gigantic commotion. But the people here actually seem very calm. . Of course he would be confused.
. . . Of course, he did not know that this audience had already experienced the same shock as him just now, so naturally, there would be no scenes like people watching with wide-eyed and flabbergasted, either, surprised and astonished.
Fortunately, there was one person who "gave him a face" and revealed a very surprised expression – and that, of course, was none other than Qi Yong Ye.
His mouth partially opened in shock, gaping at Ling Han with a completely dumbfounded expression, a faint twitch at the corner of his lips.
After Jin Wuji recovered from his shock, he still endured his attack. So what if Ling Han had four flashes of Sword Qi? Ling Han's cultivation level was still too low. He would definitely not lose just because he had been shocked by the revelation of the four Ling Qi sword flashes from Sword Qi.
The two fighters soon engaged in a fierce battle.
