Chapter 536: First From the Bottom? [3in1] (2/2)
”But of course, one's cultivation is closely related to the resources they have access to and the guidance of their teachers As all of you corounds, it's natural that you all will have different cultivation realm As such, a normal battle will be unfair!”
Everyone nodded their heads
Taking Ruohuan gongzi for example, he came from the Jun Clan, the dominant clan of the Four Great Clans On top of that, his teacher was Pavilion Master Kang From the very start, he was already entitled to the best conditions possible Not to mention, he was also older than most of the participants present, so it was only natural for hier than the others
On the other hand, people like Luo Xi and Du Hu cadoms so the resources they had for cultivation couldn't coer than the other candidates It would be unfair to gauge the them battle one another
”Thus, I've discussed with the other elders and we decided to have Elder Bai fight you with his cultivation suppressed to your respective levels The ainst hier you will be deemed to be Not only will this assess your comprehension of your current cultivation real skills in tier Thissaid
”Fight with Elder Bai, who has suppressed his cultivation?”
”Those who have joined the selection round are of differing cultivation levels The test would be biased if we have theainst one another Fu shi+ has already reached Transcendent Mortal 3-dan pinnacle whereas Zhang shi+ is only at Transcendent Mortal 1-dan pinnacle Even without having the two face one another, the result of the battle is clear”
”Indeed Having Elder Bai suppress his cultivation, and gauging the respective candidates by the nuainst the latter will indeed make the test fairer”
”As a 4-star master teacher, Elder Bai's comprehension of battle techniques is far superior to them Even if he were to suppress his cultivation to be of equal level to theauging the results based on the number of blows the candidates can withstand fro injured while accurately discerning their level of strength aood idea!”
”Un! Other than Pavilion Master Kang, nearly no one is able to defeat Elder Bai On top of that, he's i the rules of the second round, everyone nodded their heads in agreecultivation levels, and thus, it would be impossible to have the on fairness Thus, having an elder suppress his cultivation to face off with them would become the ideal way to test the candidates
The suppression of cultivation would make the test more impartial as the duo would be of equal cultivation On the other hand, the number of blows that the candidate could withstand was the best way to gauge the candidate's strength
This could be considered as thethe crowd agree to it, Pavilion Master Kang nodded his head in agree to the elder seated not too far away, he said, ”I'll be troubling you then!”
”Don't worry about it!” The elder stood up and walked up the stage
Elder Bai, Bai Heng!
”Don't worry After suppressing o easy on anyone, so you need not worry about the fairness of the test How many blows you can withstand will depend on your capability, and I, Bai Heng, swear on nity as a master teacher that I won't side with anyone!”
Walking up, Elder Bai looked at the candidates seriously
Ruohuan gongzi and Fu Xiaochen hurriedly said, ”We have trust in Elder Bai's impartiality!”
Elder Bai was a reputable elder in the Master Teacher Pavilion Possessing a cultivation of Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle, his true fighting proas second only to Pavilion Master Kang On top of that, he had an upright personality, and he had even used his dignity as a uarantee his impartiality on this matter Since that was the case, it was io easy on anyone
”Since there are no objections, you all should make preparations that you all deem fit You're permitted to use weapons, or if you prefer, bare fists are fine too In any case, use the battle techniques you are the ht with Elder Bai However for the sake of fairness and secrecy, the fight will be conducted in a sealed chamber The number of bloill be reflected by a unique formation on the wall, so it'll be iht will be kept a secret as well, so you need not worry!” Pavilion Master Kang said
After hearing the arrangements, the other master teachers nodded their heads
Every master teacher had their own ultimate technique that they didn't want anyone to know of If they were to display it before a crowd, there was high possibility that the inforht leak out If so, their trump card would be known by their ene the test in a sealed chao in and wait for you all!”
Waving his hands casually, Elder Bai walked into a sht, ants to go first?”
Seeing that Elder Bai was ready, Pavilion Master Kang turned to look at the six candidates before hio first!”
Fu Xiaochen stepped forward
He was a potential contender for the champion seat, but in the first round, he was only in the fourth place This made him extreht not be able to cozi, but in terth, he was confident that he was second to none!
”Un, be careful!” Pavilion Master Kang nodded in satisfaction
”Pavilion master, thank you for your advice!”
Fu Xiaochen walked into the roo!
The moment he stepped into the roolowed and a number appeared
1!
2!
3!
10!
The nu for it to reach '10'
”It has begun!”
”Even though Elder Bai has suppressed his cultivation, to be able to survive ten blows from him, Fu shi+ is quite incredible!”
”Need that be said? Fu shi+ is Elder Hai's student! He has already reached an incredible mastery in the Thousand Seas Punch Even with Elder Bai's astounding fighting prowess, it'll take him at least fifteen blows to defeat Fu shi+!”
”Indeed The Thousand Seas Punch launches blows relentlessly at one's eneh the ceaseless waves of the sea, it is truly a formidable battle technique”
”I wonder howthe nuht had already begun, and both sides had already traded ten blows They couldn't help but clench their fists out of anxiety
Elder Bai's fighting proas for ten blows fro about!
After all, even if an expert suppressed his cultivation to the sa in itself was not so that a rookie could compare up to How could the rookie possibly achieve victory under such circuazes of the crowd, the leaping numbers finally cahtly shut doors opened and Fu Xiaochen walked out Even though his clothes were slightly unkelowed in excite it oneself would one understand hoerful Elder Bai was Even though the latter had already suppressed his cultivation, Fu shi+ still wasn't aout all of his trump cards, it would have been difficult for him to even last twenty blows
With 31 blows, Fu Xiaochen was confident that he could at least get the first two places
”I rim
He wasn't confident that he could survive so many blows from Elder Bai, and this put heavy pressure on hizi, let me see hoell you fare!”
Fu Xiaochen walked up to Ruohuan gongzi and said with curled up lips
”Sure!”
Taking in a deep breath, Jun Ruohuan gritted his teeth and walked into the chamber
Huhuhuhu!
Soon, numbers started to appear on the white wall
”How zi can withstand?”
”I can't really tell His fighting prowess is at the same level as Fu shi+ Since the latter is able to survive 31 blows, his result should be around that level as well!”
”Let's just hope so!”
Seeing the nuraver
Jun Ruohuan and Fu Xiaochen, as idols for eneration, were the two most popular contenders for the cha proas greater
”I think Fu Xiaochen should fare better than Jun Ruohuan!” Pavilion Master Kang suddenly said
”Oh?” Elder Su turned his attention over
”Xiaochen has a calm disposition which makes him adept in defense On the other hand, Ruohuan, due to his prideful nature, only becoer Such attacks ainst Elder Bai it will prove to be a fatal flaw instead!” Pavilion Master Kang analyzed
”You're right!” Su shi+ and Ling shi+ nodded their heads in agreement
It wasn't by chance that Jun Ruohuan was known as the head of the Four Gentleh his fists that he slowly beat that reputation out for hith that built onto his pride
Prideful people tended to be weaker in their defense Usually, this wouldn'toff with those of siainst the experienced Elder Bai, Jun Ruohuan's flaould be exploited and amplified , the light on the wall slowly faded, revealing two digits to the crowd
30!
Just as Pavilion Master Kang guessed, Ruohuan gongzi's result was indeed beneath that of Fu Xiaochen At thirty blows, he happened to lose to the latter by just a single blow
”Just a single blow?”
”Do you think that Ruohuan gongzi ht have soh he has lost out to Fu shi+ by a single blow, is it possible that he has won instead?”
”How is that possible! This is a real spar; every blow has to be created by one's own strength A blow lessup for it!”
”That's true!”
Seeing that it was thirty blows, there were soht be able toit soht, it was indeed i was different fro a for up for it with anything
Jiya!
During the discussions, the door to the chazi walked out with a bitter smile
He also didn't expect to lose to Fu Xiaochen by a single blow
Even so, there was nothing he could do Even though Elder Bai had suppressed his cultivation, his offense was relentless as though the ceaseless waves He had given it his all, but thirty bloere already his lirets
”Allow zi exit, Feng Mosheng took in a deep breath and walked into the chaht shone, and nu Mosheng walked out with a pale face The nu his result, Fu Xiaochen and Ruohuan gongzi heaved a long sigh of relief Then, their gazes turned to Zhang Xuan
After the three of them were done with the examination, the only one most likely to turn the situation around was this fellow
Even though they didn't kno the other party's fighting proas, given hoas able to leave Elder Wu in a wretched state through music itself, he was unlikely to be weak
But what that left the Xuan didn't seem to be in a rush to enter the chamber at all Luo Xi and Du Hu went ahead of hi was that Du Hu, who had fared the worst in the previous round, actually ht blows as well, thus achieving a result equaling Feng Mosheng
On the other hand, Luo Xi, due to her physical weakness as a feed to withstand twenty-four blows
”It's Zhang shi+'s turn”
”Indeed I wonder if he can become the dark horse just like how he did in the first round!”
”I find that very unlikely After all, as a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan pinnacle, his battle experience is likely to be very lacking He'll be at a huge disadvantage facing off with Elder Bai!”
”That's true”
Seeing Zhang Xuan walk into the chast the the test wasn't as fair as it sounded It was much easier for a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan expert to subdue a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan cultivator as compared to a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan cultivator even if he were to suppress his cultivation to their respective level This was due to the difference in their battle experience
Take for exaht be able to do a university student's horade schooler's homeould be much easier for hi shi+'s cultivation was the lowest a all the candidates It would surely be much easier for Elder Bai to deal with him than the other candidates
”How many blows do you think he can withstand?”
Pavilion Master Kang turned to look at Su shi+
Su shi+ hesitated for a iven Elder Bai's skills, even if he were to suppress his cultivation to Transcendent Mortal 1-dan pinnacle, he would still be able to kill a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan inter shi+ probably won't be able to last for too long!”
He carried deep trust in Zhang Xuan, but Elder Bai wasn't sorasp of cultivation and battle techniques had reached an incredibly profound level Even Su shi+ would find it hard toshi+!
”Indeed Even though Zhang shi+ had ress three cultivation realms in the past twenty days, his cultivation should still be unstable and his grasp over his strength should be lacking My guess is that he'll lose within ten blows!” Pavilion Master Kang analyzed
Su shi+ had said previously that Zhang shi+ had progressed froo to Transcendent Mortal 1-dan pinnacle Achieving breakthroughs so quickly, even if he was a Celestial Master Teacher, it was inevitable for his cultivation to be slightly shaky
His estimate of ten bloas already a positive one
”I also think so, but Zhang shi+ has never been a person who could be dictated by co shi+ interjected
While he agreed with Pavilion Master Kang's analysis-under nor shi+ to withstand even ten blows he also knew that Zhang shi+ was a person who often broke expectations As long as the result wasn't out, it would be hard to fatho!”
They weren't the only ones ere anxious Everyone in the hall was looking intently at the white wall beside the door, and soon, a number appeared on it 1!
”Ah? Why isn't it increasing anyht that it would continue increasing to a point before stopping altogether But to their astonish at all
”Could it be that the for?”
”That's impossible! The formation was set up my Elder Wu personally Besides, it was fine when the other candidates were using it How could it possibly spoil all of a sudden?”
”Then why is that nu at all?”
”Could it be that”
At that ht of the same possibility and disbelief filled their faces
”He lost in a single zi's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists tightly together in agitation
Even the austere Fu Xiaochen showed a rare expression of delight
The duo had been worried that this black horse would overthrow their records just like he did previously No one expected hile blow
But that was to be expected How could a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan lad possibly be able to withstand Elder Bai's ferocious assault?
They had thought that this fellowthe selection round, but fros-the other party wasn't even a threat at all!
”Isn't this result too poor With such strength, he still hopes to participate in the Master Teacher Tourna criteria, it is still of significant importance Even Beauty Luo Xi is able to withstand twenty-four blows To lose in a single blow Isn't that way too fast?!”
”Indeed So what if he has a powerful Soul Depth? Without sufficient strength, he would still be eliminated swiftly in the tourna the situation, everyone began gossiping
In the first round, this fellow had astonished everyone with his unparalleled talents Even Elder Wu nearly lost his sanity because of hiht that even if his result in the second round couldn't compare up to his first, he would still be able to fare decently They never thought that the other party would do so poorly!
Losing in a single blow!
Even a normal cultivator should have been able to withstand at least several blows!
”This” Pavilion Master Kang, Su shi+, and Ling shi+ stared at one another blankly
They had deduced that Zhang shi+ wouldn't be able to even withstand ten blows, but to lose in a single blohat the heck was this?
”Zhang shi+ sure likes to do the unexpected I sure didn't expect this conclusion”
Su shi+ flashed a bitter s things that surpassed the i this as exaht of all kinds of possibility, but one thing they didn't expect to see was for the latter to lose in a single blow
”Alright, since the results are out, allowhis head, Pavilion Master Kang scanned the surroundings and said, ”Fu Xiaochen, with a record of 31 blows, is in the first place Ruohuan gongzi, withstanding a total of 30 blows, is in the second place Feng Mosheng and Du Hu, with a total of 28 blows, are tied at third Luo Xi, with a total of twenty-four blows, is in the fifth place Last but not least, Zhang shi+ withstanding just a total of one blow, is in the”
In thethe results for the second round, 'jiya!', the door suddenly opened
Turning his gaze over, Pavilion Master Kang suddenly saw so that left his eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim, ”What the hell?!”
