Chapter 177 - I Will Battle (1/2)

Feng Shouzhu inhaled a deep breath of air, just when he was about to make his decision, Zhong Yue suddenly stood up, bowed and said, "Elder, I've advanced into the level of Awakening."

Feng Shouzhu was on the verge of saying 'Lei Teng will the battler,' but when he heard Zhong Yue, he was stunned and mumbled to himself, "You've advanced into the level of Awakening … wait, what? You've advanced into the level of Awakening? You've successfully opened the realm?"He sprung up like a spring while gazing unbelievably at Zhong Yue, shocked and overjoyed, he said, "You've really successfully opened the wheel, opened the Yuan Shen secret realm?"

Zhong Yue nodded and replied smilingly, "I've just done it yesterday, I've opened the realms and become an Awakening Qi Practitioner."

Feng Shouzhu took in a deep breath of air, joy climbed onto his face, he babbled, "Good child, good child, unexpectedly, you've opened the realm yourself … High priest, for the third round, the battler of the Swords Gate Awakening Qi Practitioner will be, Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan!"

Lei Teng who was readied for combat on the side opened his eyes widely as he could not believe his ears, gazing at Feng Shouzhu and Zhong Yue in low spirits.

Zuo Xiangsheng, Tian Yanzhong and the others were also feeling out of sorts, not knowing why Feng Shouzhu would made such an absurd decision.

Tian Yanzhong yelled loudly, "Elder Feng, Junior Martial Brother Zhong has just advanced into the level of Awakening, how could he be the battler? There is a great disparity in combat prowess between one newly opened realm and all five cultivated realms!"

Zuo Xiangsheng and the others nodded, they were all puzzled at Feng Shouzhu's decision.

Even the high priest of the Xiao Mang celestial temple was shocked, staring at Xiao Chuqing in disbelief and exclaiming involuntarily, "Brother Shouzhu, you just said that there wouldn't be any surprises, but you are giving me the shock of my life! This Zhong Shan Clan member has just broken through to the level of Awakening, and you've decided to send him up? Do you have any grudges or hatred towards him? Are you trying to make use of my celestial race to exterminate him?"

Feng Shouzhu laughed out loud in a voice that could be taken as either sincerity or sarcasm, "This brat is an arrogant, obstinate and rebellious rascal of my Swords Gate. Never once has he attended any classes, it's been a long time I've wanted to bash on him. And during this trip to the celestial race, I've told them and warned them, asking them to learn to endure, to refrain from acting recklessly; and yet, look at what he's done; ignoring my words and killing two celestial disciples. I've had enough of this rascal. This round, I'll send him up, and the high priest must choose a strong and formidable opponent for him, help me teach him a lesson!"

His words threw the high priest out of sorts, the Shen Ya, Gui Shen, and Shan Shen Celestial Races were all aware that Feng Shouzhu was joking. However, for a reticent and unsmiling old man like Feng Shouzhu, making jokes would be very unusual.

The high priest of Xiao Mang Celestial Race hesitated and said, "This Zhong Shan Clan member has just advanced into the level of Awakening?"

Feng Shouzhu nodded and replied smiling, "Just yesterday."

The high priest asked again, "The day before, he was still a Rebirth Qi Practitioner?"

"That's true." Feng Shouzhu nodded again, smiles continuing to overtake his wrinkled face.

The high priest then asked again, "You've sent up a human Qi Practitioner who has just advanced into the level of Awakening, and asked him to battle with my Awakening Qi Practitioner who has opened all five realms. Brother Shouzhu, is your brain working fine?"

Feng Shouzhu ignored the question and said smilingly, "Please, may the high priest help me in teaching him a lesson, let him know the immensity of heaven and earth."

The high priest pondered deeply, trying to figure out what gave Feng Shouzhu the confidence to send a newly-advanced Awakening Qi Practitioner to battle, he then said, "Xiao Jin, since Brother Shouzhu wants this Zhong Shan Clan member's life, we shall grant him his wish. You will battle!"

A celestial lady bowed and walked over. Behind her, a two hundred feet tall Pan Ao Yuan Shen appeared, and one after another, five light wheels emerged out from within the Yuan Shen —Zheng zheng zheng. They were spinning elegantly while emanating multicolored rays, she lifted her head up and cast her gaze over at Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue smiled back, a two hundred feet tall Golden Crow Yuan Shen emerged —Wong— a light wheel emerged emanating multicolored rays — the Wu Xing Wheel.

The smallest wheel of all five wheels, the Dao Yi Wheel, was ten feet long, while the largest Wan Xiang Wheel was a hundred and twenty feet. In comparison, Zhong Yue's Wu Xing Wheel was only the size of a plate. Peals of laughter rung out throughout the peanut gallery of celestial disciples as they mocked him.

Feng Shouzhu saw the 'exquisite' Wu Xing Wheel and his eyelids thumped violently as regret instantly swallowed his heart, This brat opened the five realms conventionally, he started with the Wu Xing Wheel! This is bad, not good! If he did it the conventional way, he wouldn't be Xiao Jin's match at all; sending him to battle, I might as well have chosen Lei Teng….

Zheng——

A crisp and clear sound could be heard as the Wan Xiang Wheel, which was only slightly bigger, emerged behind the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen. This caused Feng Shouzhu's eyelids to thump again, He has opened two secret realms! This brat really surprises me a lot. But even opening the Wan Xiang Realm would not be of much use either, even the total size of his Wu Xing Wheel and Wan Xiang Wheel is smaller than her smallest wheel….

Zheng zheng zheng—

Behind the Great Sun Yuan Shen, the Shen Cai Wheel emerged, following by the Yin Yang Wheel sized like a teapot, and lastly, the Dao Yi Wheel which sized like a wine glass — the scene was utterly ridiculous!

What Xiao Jin showed were wheels, and what he had were cups; the differences were the two were enormously huge that the audience proceeded to erupt in another outburst of mocking laughter.

However, in the floating city above the celestial temple, the elder priests all stood up, their breaths were disrupted and their eyes filled with disbelief. The other Qi Practitioners might be mocking and criticizing at Zhong Yue's little wheels, but the elder priests were feeling nothing but only deep shock!

"Opening all five secret realms in a day? What is this cultivation technique, how strong and pure must his cultivation base be?"

"All five Yuan Shen secret realms in one day, this is unheard of!"

The course of opening the five secret realms required the cultivator to cultivate step by step through the stages.
