Chapter 195: No Need to Worry. Here, I Am Invincible!
“You have already forged your own path. From here on, it’s a broad avenue ahead,” said Ku Fengchun.
In the cultivation world, creating a Heaven-grade technique was an implicit threshold. It indicated whether you have the potential to become a supreme powerhouse. True powerhouses, in the end, will all form their own Dao, leaving behind a unique chapter in the vast river of history.
“Indeed,” the Great Elder said, looking at Meng Changqing with eyes full of approval.
Creating a Heaven-grade technique sounds simple, but it’s not something just anyone can achieve. Even within their own sect, currently, only two people have done so.
“Now that even the Proud Sword Sect has been defeated, the only remaining threat is the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion. The other forces are hardly worth worrying about,” the Great Elder said, barely containing his excitement.
If they secured first place, it would mean ten slots to the Wild Sea, plus a large amount of high-level resources — a cause for great celebration for someone devoted entirely to the sect.
“Indeed, the upcoming battles might see many choosing to surrender directly. As for the great sects, they will likely still put up a fight,” Hua Ciyan said with a smile. “It’s not their style to concede without a fight.” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
“Yay!” Mo Xiaoyu jumped up and down in excitement.
Having come all this way, not getting a chance to fight would feel like a lifelong regret.
The other disciples also smiled.
Perhaps after witnessing Meng Changqing’s battles, the so-called world-shaking geniuses no longer felt as intimidating.
What are world-shaking geniuses anyway? Didn’t they also fall with just one punch from the Young Sect Master? If I fall with one punch and so do the world-shaking geniuses, then in some sense, there’s no difference between me and them.
“He’s grown this strong already,” Duanmu Longque muttered, retracting his gaze from the Hanging Ancient Mountain in the distance.
With a light sigh, a certain obsession in his heart seemed to fade away. When the gap between two people becomes too vast, there were no longer any delusions.
The battles continued. At today’s pace, they would surely move into the third round, maybe even further, as fewer forces remained.
A great sect from the Tianshu Prefecture was defeated by Yu Hongxue — another one-vs-three scenario. The other two members of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion didn’t even have to step in.
Retracting her palm, Yu Hongxue slightly raised her head and looked upward. For a moment, their gazes met, and it was as if sparks flew everywhere!
“Three-tenths of her Palm Intent!”
“Yu Hongxue has also raised her Palm Intent to this level!”
“She crushed three opponents by herself — so strong! No wonder she’s the top of the younger generation in the Tianxuan Prefecture, the future master of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion!”
All around, people were abuzz with excitement.
They had thought that the Southern Genius Battle would be unstoppable for the Tai Xuan Sect, but now, Yu Hongxue was showing incredible strength, keeping the outcome uncertain!
For the top-ranking prefectures, they naturally hoped for Yu Hongxue’s victory. If the nearly last-place Tianling Prefecture were to dominate, it would be humiliating when word spread.
After breaking eye contact, Yu Hongxue turned and left.
This battle was her declaration to the world: I am strong too!
The final result of the Southern Genius Battle was still undecided.
“It seems our previous assessment of her was too low,” Hua Ciyan said, her eyes narrowing. “Three-tenths of her Palm Intent.”
“Strictly speaking, this generation is stronger than ours,” Ku Fengchun nodded. “Back then, the highest anyone achieved with True Essence was only two-tenths.”
“Though Changqing possesses dual True Essences, at this stage, the power of dual True Essences hasn’t fully manifested. The level of his Eseence is what matters,” Hua Ciyan continued. “If both are at three-tenths, there’s no significant difference.”
Dual True Essences merely mean that you have two comparable powers. Only when both reach their peak can they resonate, causing a qualitative transformation that yields even greater power!
“It seems we were right — Yu Hongxue is the true formidable opponent,” the Great Elder said, his smile fading. He then turned to look at Meng Changqing, who remained calm and unperturbed.
Realizing that everyone was watching him, Meng Changqing brought his mind back to the present. He looked at the crowd and smiled slightly.
“No need to worry. Here, I… am invincible.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a wind arose, making the grass at his feet dance. Standing under the brilliant sunlight, Meng Changqing seemed to radiate a dazzling light.
It was confidence — absolute confidence.
In that moment, no one harbored any doubts. All they felt was agreement. They couldn’t explain why, but they believed him!
They believed every word Meng Changqing said!
“Then we shall see,” Hua Ciyan said, returning to her senses.
Her snow-white face showed a clear, beautiful smile. As she had said before, she liked this junior brother. She liked this feeling of looking down upon the world, of being unstoppable.
“Good!” The Great Elder nodded heavily, feeling gratified.
In his mind, Meng Changqing never spoke idly. It seemed there was still more up his sleeve. As for what it was, he didn’t ask. That had always been his way of doing things.
Soon, the second round of matches ended, leaving thirty-two forces.
Among them were great sects, ancient clans, and first-rate powers. As for second-rate powers, they were entirely eliminated.
After all, they were just too weak and would need extraordinary luck to make it this far.
The third round of battles began immediately.
This time, the Tai Xuan Sect didn’t encounter another great sect but instead faced a first-rate power from the Tianji Prefecture, ranked third. They surrendered before even stepping into the arena.
While expected, it still made Mo Xiaoyu and the other disciples quite angry.
How were they supposed to get on the stage if everyone surrendered as soon as they met?
The third round moved much faster, almost finishing in just an hour.
The fourth round began right away.
At this point, the remaining forces were all quite strong. Coincidentally, the Tai Xuan Sect encountered another great sect. This time, a top-tier sect!
The Wind King Hall, one of the five great sects of the Tianxuan Prefecture!
