Chapter 124 – Black Flare

The messy Qi flow within Qi Xiu calmed down and he quickly made a few hand seals in front of his chest and a few runes appeared.

“Is this Qi Xiu’s secret weapon?” The students from different schools could feel his Qi increasing as each rune appeared.

Up on the cloud platforms, the stance was starting to make the audience wary.

“Your Lordship, make sure none of them get hurt! Especially that kid from South Star!”

“Of course! The judges are there for a reason!” The City Lord answered. “Ha this Qi Xiu is extraordinary. Polaris Academy is lucky to find a student that is suitable to learn all their best stances!”

“It’s that stance! I don’t even remember the last time I saw this stance from a Polaris student!”

“We should thank this nameless kid for the entertainment! It’s quite an achievement pushing Qi Xiu this far! He will become famous just from this.”

“Oh well, looks like this is the end. I don’t see how Qi Xiu’s stance could possibly be stopped by this kid.”

Previously, Ye Wei, while being the aggressor, learned most of the Star Shifter formula’s secrets from feeling the energy flow in Qi Xiu’s body with his fist. Just from that, Ye Wei was greatly rewarded from this fight.

Feeling the fearsome Qi disturbance in the air, Ye Wei was becoming increasingly cautious; he was positive that the stance he was about to see would be on a different level than Qi Xiu’s previous stances.

Ye Wei was like a lone leaf on a wavy ocean of primal energy, but he was not scared. His eyes shone with a fighting spirit as oppose to the similar aged audience’s fear.

“This is what I’ve been looking forward to! Fight with your heart! Let me earn the victory and move on to the God’s Seven then to Qing state’s finals, and eventually I will challenge the cultivators at the summit in the capital!” Ye Wei’s body was fueled with immense energy.

“I am surprised you’ve pushed me this far boy. It’s my honor to beat you with this stance! I will dominate!” Qi Xiu finished making the last hand seal as the last runes of the sequence were drawn; drops of sweat slid down his pale face and he was now panting as he spoke slowly.

As Qi Xiu’s voice was heard, the runes in the air vibrated violently forming rippling black waves pressure waves around him.

“Zoom! Zoom!”

The background primal energy around the platform began to resonate with the rune sequence and quickly condensed into growing dark globes above Qi Xiu’s head.

All whole audience gasped in shock seeing that Qi Xiu was able to use the wild unpurified primal energy by guiding it with his own Qi. They were all impressed and scared by the scale of the stance Qi Xiu was using.

‘Seven Dark Flare!’

Vice-principal Xu He stared at the growing energy globes warily. He watched it as it grew and began to burn like the sun. ‘His master allows him to use a forbidden low-level Myst stance?!’

Under the platform, Jian Chen of Zhoutian Sword school, Shi Yuntian of Tri-Solar School, and a few Galaxy Academy students were the only ones who could look past how scary the stance was and appreciate how the stance worked.

“Ha!” The dark skinned Seven Star school cultivator, who had a brief exchange of look with Ye Wei, grunted. He stared at Qi Xiu with an evil smile and did not seemed impressed by the stance.

Meanwhile the speculation did not stop from above on the cloud platform.

“This has been the highlight of my day!”

“Yea, me too! Interesting development from a seemingly one-sided matchup.”

“Haha! If the kid from South Star were a condensed prime Warrior this fight would have been even more interesting!”

The pressure of Seven Dark Flare thickened in the air.

“A forbidden stance?” Ye Wei rose his head and carefully observed the black sun above Qi Xiu as a golden flash appeared through his eyes.

Ye Wei watched as the globe’s energy intensified. He could feel the heavy pressure ramping up pressing towards him like a great mountain. He could also feel the weak spots of the stance. Ye Wei stretched out his fingers which had shining runes in-between them while looking forward to fighting the flaring black sun.

“You should be proud of yourself for losing to this stance you know?” Qi Xiu looked at Ye Wei with aggression completely ignore the fact that he would have to rest for at least half a month after using this stance. It would be unsettling not to make Ye Wei pay for the humiliation he caused.
