Chapter 95 The End of the Quarterfinal (1/2)
The battle bewteen Ning Zhe and Leng Yueyan had finally come to an end, and people were still relishing its highlights.
”They are really powerful! I didn't expect that both of them had realized their martial arts to such level. But I don't know why Ning Zhe held his hand eventually. Obviously, he can fight with the attack of Leng Yueyan, but he stopped his attack. Considering his strength, he can be promoted. What a pity!” The Headmaster of the Unfettered Sect sighed. He had figured out the inside story.
”Yes. With his remaining spiritual power, Ning Zhe can completely fight with Leng Yueyan, but he stopped his offensive. It's really strange.” The Headmaster of the Crazy Saber Sect replied.
”The Universal Incantation of the Heavenly Girl fought with the Udumbara Buddha's Finger! We haven't seen these kinds of lost martial arts for a long time. Unfortunately, the Ning Zhe didn't use all of his energy. And if he did, maybe we can see a more exciting battle!” The Headmaster of the Zhenyang Sect followed.
”Enough, we can't figure out its cause and effect. Didn't you hear the last words of Ning Zhe? 'This is the choice of the udumbara, also the choice of his heart.' The udumbara is the fruit of Taoism of the Buddhists. It's their life base. The Buddha picked up the flower, and he might be a Buddha or a devil. The flower can affect his life. The Buddhism emphasizes the afterlife, so there will be a day for us to figure it out. Now, let's wait.” Hua Mengchen sighed. Her soft voice was filled with a lament.
The words of the Headmaster of the Palace of Hundred Flowers would always make them wake up from confusion. The Buddhism indeed emphasized in the afterlife. It is said that every powerful Buddha was born in the last generation. Each of them had a beautiful udumbara in their hearts to let them know their past life and their afterlife. Life and death were just like dreams.
To see a world in a wild flower, and a bodhi in a leaf. In the hearts of all the Buddhists, they considered themselves as a flower. A flower died, and meanwhile a flower blossomed. There would always be two flowers similar to each other in the world. But they couldn't grow in the world at the same period of time; one blossomed, and the other would wither. This was called a reincarnation. The similar people owned different memories. After they gain enough experience, their udumbara would blossom, and they would see their past life. If they saw the Buddha, they would then become a Buddha too.
The cause and effect involved in this was too much, and no one could intervene it, neither to predict it. The more powerful the one was, the more possible he would be bound by this cause and effect. This went with the strongest ones, and this was the law of the world. No one could violate it. Sometimes, a pair of causes and effect could even change everything in a world. Thinking of those legends, the elders and the Headmasters dared not to speak more. They buried their thoughts in their hearts, because they were afraid that too much intervention might bring big disasters.
”The battle was so fierce. The Universal Incantation of the Heavenly Girl and the Udumbara Buddha's Finger can be ranked in the top three powerful martial arts of the two sects.”
”Even half of the bluestone arena has been destroyed! Terrible!”
”We Chinese descendant's martial arts are better than the foreign ones. Good!”
The audience was still relishing. However, Ning Zhe paid no attention to their comments at this moment. He just watching the group of the Sect of the Nine Heavens in a daze.
For Ning Zhe, he also believed that there was a reincarnation in the world, and he wanted to weave the dream of the future. Now was the time, so he had been practicing for decades, only to find a past cause and effect. Now that he was defeated, an emotion that had never been seen in his heart quietly sprouted. He remembered a famous saying in Buddhism: the five hundred glances in the past lives can bring an encounter in this life.
What was the cause and effect of this? It was the thing he wanted to know about the most now, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out. Soon after, the next battle would start, so he retracted his heart and paid attention to the arena quietly.
”Which two people will be in the next battle? The following battles won't have destructive power surpassing this battle, will they?”
”Not necessarily, who knows if the remaining geniuses have shown their real strength.”
”According to the words of Lu Qianchen, Feng Tianming still has his final resorts. Yu Wude can use many kinds of strange arrays every time he fights. It is impossible to know whether there are still stronger arrays of him.”
...
The audience was still discussing. They expected to see this kind of battle between the strongest again. After all, it could feast their eyes and promote their understanding of martial arts, so they hoped to see more this kind of battles.
”The most mysterious person is Wang Bugui, right? Who has seen him using all of his energy? No! From the first day to the present, he has not displayed his real strength, except for the punch he used to defeat Zhang Lan. But that punch only carried his body strength, and his cultivation strength is still unknown.”
Someone uttered while the others were hotly talking. They wanted to find the speaker, but discovered that he was hiding. Nobody knew who he was, but his words were correct. Wang Bugui was too mysterious. He concealed his real strength all the way. Till now, nobody could force him to display his real strength.
This was terrible. The strength of this person and his understanding of the Taoism were both unknown, so was his background, because he was a liberal cultivator. This kind of mysterious enemy was most terrible in the world, because you didn't know what terrible martial arts he had.
Many cultivators turned their attention to Wang Bugui. But he did not care about the words around him. He only quietly paid attention to the arena under reparation. Nobody knew what he was thinking. He just talked to Yu Wude and the others from time to time.
He looked at the sky with his eyes widely opened, and then turned to smile at Yu Wude. The others followed him to see the sky. The next battle was between Yu Wude and Chu He, which meant he would be in the last battle, fighting against Feng Tianming.
”Wude, go. It's your turn.” Wang Bugui grinned at Yu Wude, and threw him to the arena. Yu Wude almost fell down on the arena. He stood still after a few steps. Chu He revealed a bitter smile, and then jumped to the arena.
