The entire crowd went silent, who could’ve thought such a calm and well-mannered young man would say something like that in front of everybody.
“How arrogant” the first person to step out spoke.
He stepped forward onto the ring, saying: “When you get beaten to a pulp by my martial thaumaturgy, you’ll know just how big the world is”
Every step he takes, his body grew bigger and bigger, as visible layers of martial thaumaturgy flowed along his body.
That means he already could channel martial thaumaturgy in his body before even entering a sect!
No wonder he dares to challenge Gu Qing Shan first.
When that martial cultivator stepped before the ring, he has already turned into a 4-person tall giant.
His entire body was as hard as magma, even his skin turned jet black, standing below the platform, he was still 2-person taller than Gu Qing Shan.
“This is Rock Diamond!” a privy cultivator exclaimed.
Many elders who are experts in martial arts also looked at him in interest.
There are a few martial thaumaturgies that could consecutively level up, and they’re the subject of interest for many.
Because these are very basic thaumaturgies, as the cultivator’s martial arts grow more and more, it will also become stronger and stronger, until finally becoming unrivalled great thaumaturgies.
Rock Diamond, after reaching the final stage will become Fearsome Diamond, an extremely powerful martial thaumaturgy.
After the martial thaumaturgy evolve into Fearsome Diamond, if they can enter a Buddha sect to train in Buddha’s teachings, they might be able to awaken one of Buddha’s Divine Skills ——–Unbreakable Diamond.
But when looking at the monks of Spirit Leaf Temple, all of them were lowering their heads, not even paying a bit of attention to him.
Buddha’s teachings emphasize temperament and fate, and it seems that this person isn’t fitting.
Having such a thaumaturgy, yet still ignored by Spirit Leaf Temple, no wonder he would be so eager to prove himself.
The giant looked down at Gu Qing Shan, mocking him: “Such a weakling like you, I can kill 2-3 with a single swing of my fist”
His voice was very loud.
Gu Qing Shan calmly stared at him, not saying a single word.
As the giant saw that he wasn’t speaking, his fighting spirit increased: “Hmph, weakling, fighting on the ring have their own rules, even the Saint can’t help you now”
The giant jumped up, attacking Gu Qing Shan straight on.
His body was like a small mountain, blocking out the sun as he covered the entire ring.
Right as he jumped, Gu Qing Shan also jumped, receiving him.
The Earth sword was already being held tight in Gu Qing Shan’s hands, batting at the giant.
That’s right, batting at him.
The strike was extremely slow, but no matter how the giant tried to dodge, it always seems to be heading straight at him.
I can’t dodge! The giant realized.
“Then die!”
The shouted, swung his fist to meet him head on.
Bang—–
Boom!
As the two of them faced off, one of them was swatted to the ground as fast as a shadow.
A cloud of blood filled the air, as a giant hole was formed right below the ring.
When they looked back, they saw Gu Qing Shan still standing on the ring, while the giant was nowhere to be seen.
The numerous judging cultivators quickly went down the hole.
After a few seconds, a scream of agony was heard from inside the hole.
“It hurts, it hurts, IT HURTS! AHHHHHHH!”
As they heard the scream, the cultivators around couldn’t help but be curious, spread their inner sight downward at the hole.
Many of them trembled on the spot.
“Holy shit…” someone muttered.
“All his bones are broken, even if you do all you can to fix him up, it’ll take at least a few years to fully recover” another small voice muttered.
During these few years, the pain he’ll have to feel won’t be any less than going straight to hell itself.
Everyone’s expressions changed as they looked back at Gu Qing Shan.
Many sect leaders contemplated: “It’s very similar to Kai Shan Style, but much stronger, what style is this?”
After receiving teaching from the Saint, Gu Qing Shan has fully comprehended 1106 types of sword styles.
After combining them all into one, together with the Earth sword’s 60,000 tons’ strike, of course this sect leader couldn’t tell what kind of sword style this was.
“Even our sect’s Hidden Sword Hall doesn’t have such a sword style, if it’s not created by himself, it must be something the Saint taught him” an elder of Thousand Swords Sect commented.
Many elders became interested and continued to watch.
“Next” Gu Qing Shan swung the blood off his sword, coldly declared.
A thin cultivator stepped out from the top 20.
“Don’t look down on people, your sword is only a bit heavy, so speed must be your critical weakness, you definitely can’t hit me”
He said, shifting his body, already standing on the ring 1 second later.
“And my speed technique just happens to counter your heavy sword” He looked at Gu Qing Shan pridefully.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t even look at him, only glanced down the ring and declared: “All of you, come up here, don’t waste my time”
“You!” the thin man became angry, both feet stepped on the ground, rushing at Gu Qing Shan.
As soon as he moved, the expressions of all the people under the ring changed
Hm? What?
While the thin man was still confused, a voice from under the ring shouted: “Don’t move!”
This voice was a certain large sect’s elder who brought him here to participate in the semester examination.
He really treated him very well, and he was very grateful, originally wanted to enter that sect.
But the situation now is different, he has the chance to join a sect like Blue Clouds Pass right in front of him, and it’s so easy to take, he has no choice but to let go and choose the best for himself.
Even though the thin man heard it very clearly, he pretended not to, as his body turned into a hurricane, attacking Gu Qing Shan.
One second later, he found his eyes were looking at a headless body.
That looks like my body.
As soon as he thought that, he felt an overwhelming pain, then total darkness as he no longer felt anything.
From the others’ perspective, as soon as the thing man rushed forever, his hands, arms, feet, legs, gradually got cut off from his body one by one, until finally his head was also cut off.
After all his limbs and head fell down, his body still moved forward for a meter before hitting the ground, spilling blood everywhere.
On the ring, Gu Qing Shan held the Earth sword, softly swung it to one side.
“Don’t blame me when you seeked death yourself” he said.
Numerous transparent threads retracted back into the Earth sword before disappearing completely.
“Sword qi to silk? At this age?” The elder of Thousand Swords Sect exclaimed in shock.
This is a brilliant sword qi control technique, you have to be able to control it down to the micro-level to turn sword qi into silk threads and use them as layers of traps like that.
Gu Qing Shan pointed his sword at the remaining 18 cultivators, saying: “Come, come, come, all of you come, I said I’ll beat the proof into you, and so I will”
Looking at the horrible state of the two before them, all 18 cultivators felt a chill down their spines.
They gritted their teeth, exchanged looks, then immediately understood.
“All attack at once!”
“Kill him, or we all die here!”
The over-dozen figures all rushed onto the ring.
“That’s right, this is less trouble for me” Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword upward, pointing at the bunch of people leaping forward, still in the air.
While he thrusted the sword forward, the intense killing intent they felt could almost freeze them in place.
But very strangely, he didn’t point his sword directly them.
He was pointing it at the sky behind them all.
The world became silent.
Inside the Earth sword, something seems to have awakened, as it let out a satisfied whisper.
Then.
Donk! Donk! Donk! Donk! Donk! Donk!
Just like the sound of ancient giants banging on their drums.
Blinding sword phantoms escaped from the tip of the Earth sword, all flowing outward, creating a deafening crashing storm of swords.
“Secret Sword Arts!” someone screamed in fright.
Many sect leaders looked at each other, as one of them confirmed: “That’s correct, it’s Water Flow Severance, it’s been many years since I last saw such a Secret Art”
The fierce storm of swords blew past, as all of the people who rushed forward were nowhere to be seen.
They’ve all been sent flying, their consciousness robbed by the exploding swords, their bodies scattering as they were knocked outside the Sky Palace.
All the judging cultivators flew out, using flying treasures to catch the unconscious people.
More than a dozen cultivators were lined up, their eyes closed tight, fainted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the sect leaders that have already stood up, saying: “These people are still useful to humanity, so I left them alive”
Then he looked at all the cultivators below the ring, saying: “From now one, if someone dares to insult my Bai Hua Sect again, I swear I’ll kill them”
His tone was calm but sure.
Quite a few cultivators recalled the scene just now and quickly confirmed his words.
This young man truly did tilt this sword away at the last moment, otherwise the strength of that strike was more than enough to kill all of them.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword, looked back at the three remaining cultivators under the ring.
“Ah? You’re still here?” he asked, confused, “didn’t you say you wanted to fight me?”
All three of them kneeled down on the ground, bowing: “I was wrong, I was wrong, a great person such as you don’t need to concern yourself with us”
As a cultivator, to bow down to someone else, their Dao heart is already broken.
Gu Qing Shan no longer looked at them, breathed in and looked at Lee Chang An
“Get down here” Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
Lee Chang An also laughed, saying: “You think I’m scared of you?”
“Sure you have your Secret Art, but I don’t have my own techniques?” he walked step by step onto the ring, saying: “Even a Saint’s disciples have their own rankings”
A spear appeared in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, not saying a thing.
Lee Chang An raised his spear, swung it to one side and stopped.
“Let’s teach” he said. (1)
Seeing his arrogant demeanor, these two words probably meant that he wanted to teach Gu Qing Shan.
Not waiting for Gu Qing Shan to talk, his spear has already moved.
——–from stillness to movement, his actions only took the blink of an eye, turning into a fierce killing blow, ripping the air as it let out a sharp sound.
Lee Chang An’s entire body become one with his spear, like he has become an arrow that doesn’t know to retreat.
This attack is a special spear technique; its meaning is to never retreat until it hits the enemy.
No one could guess that Lee Chang An would be so sly, he doesn’t even let him talk, taking the first chance he has to strike, not to mention using a killing blow right from the start.
If Gu Qing Shan isn’t prepared, or doesn’t know the proper way to counter it, he would be pierced immediately.
The spear seems to almost struck Gu Qing Shan.
It struck!
I won!
Lee Chang An opened his mouth, wanting to laugh, but then realized the feeling of his spear isn’t quite correct.
Looking back, what he pierced was an after image, while the real person is already gone.
Not good!
Lee Chang An swung his spear backwards.
As he felt a chill on his head, he doesn’t hesitate to swung his sword upwards, wanting to strike him down.
The two weapons clashed in the air, making a loud metal sound as they do.
Lee Chang An shouted: “I’ve caught you, die!”
The spear carried the hissing sound of the air, screaming as it swung.
———and missed again.
Note:
(1) Let’s teach: this is a common phrase used when sparring, the original meaning is closer to “teach me what you can”
