I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 621: Chapter 568: Duel

Outside the Trial Tower.

The crowd saw Fann Mingshan snatch Jiang Yuebai’s belongings, and as the two fought, they stopped their discussions and recordings, looking towards Family Head Zhuge Shou.

Zhuge Shou showed no reaction, indicating that the fight was within the permissible rules, and Zhuge Shou might have anticipated such an event, perhaps even hoped for it to better understand Jiang Yuebai.

Moh Baichun secretly clenched his fists, feeling tense once again.

Although Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Sense was stronger than Fann Mingshan’s, at this moment, they could not use anything other than their Armors.

Against a Demon Clan that only knew how to charge recklessly without tactics or strategy, Jiang Yuebai’s Little Spiders and Child and Mother Array were immensely powerful.

But if faced with the Armors controlled by Fann Mingshan, Jiang Yuebai’s Little Spiders might not necessarily win, as each individual Little Spider was too fragile, shattering under the mere pressure of Divine Sense.

Zhuge Ziqian glanced at Moh Baichun and comforted, ”Senior Sister Wuchen, don’t be nervous. Fellow Daoist Wangshu is quick-witted and might have a trick up his sleeve. Let’s just watch and see.”

Upon hearing this, Moh Baichun retorted stiffly, ”Who’s nervous? I’m definitely not nervous.”

Zhuge Ziqian smiled without saying a word, continuing to focus on the situation in the valley.

Facing Jiang Yuebai’s intense gaze, Fann Mingshan looked disdainfully and snorted coldly.

”With your basic skills, you’re not qualified to become the Zhuge Family’s Guest Elder. I’m just ending it early for you to save your time.”

The pile of small parts hovered in mid-air, unmoving under Fann Mingshan’s constant Divine Sense tugging.

Jiang Yuebai stood up from the ground, surrounded by a gloomy pressure.

”And what qualifies you to decide my qualification?”

With a sudden pull of her Divine Sense, everything returned to her side, gently falling as the Little Spiders resumed their work.

”You!”

Fann Mingshan was infuriated, glancing at Zhuge Ziyin, who was watching the show from a distance, his gaze flickering with some malicious intent.

”Ziyin, what say we pause our duel and let me teach this arrogant youngster a lesson on what a real Armored Master is, lest she looks down on the Zhuge Family’s Armored Technique!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai sneered, noting the delaying tactic, and intending to drag the Zhuge Family into his mess.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at Zhuge Ziyin, initially thinking he wouldn’t fall for it, but to her surprise, he raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

What Jiang Yuebai didn’t know was that Zhuge Ziyin was currently filled with curiosity about her, eager to discover what other surprising skills she possessed and whether she could defeat Fann Mingshan.

Zhuge Ziyin was confident that a momentary pause wouldn’t affect his eventual victory in the assessment.

The beast-shaped Armor he controlled was already nearing the place to plant the flag outside.

Jiang Yuebai looked bewildered. Are they out of their minds? Can’t distinguish what’s urgent and important?

Or are they ganging up to bully her?

Fine, every last one of you will pay!

Fueled by anger, Jiang Yuebai said coldly, ”I do respect the Zhuge Family’s Armored Technique, but I do not respect shameless old fools like you!”

”You!”

Fann Mingshan, enraged, manipulated the half-bodied Armor beside him to leap up. The Armor’s two arms transformed into sharp Double-Edged Blades in mid-air, spinning rapidly to form a massive wheel of blades, surging towards Jiang Yuebai aggressively.

Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brow slightly as a broken Armor flew up from the side, colliding fiercely with the blade wheel.

Bam! Bam!

With sparks flying and piercing noises filling the air, the broken Armor was sliced by the blade wheel at first sight, coming at Jiang Yuebai.

But the blade wheel didn’t harm Jiang Yuebai in the slightest, as it was suddenly halted, unable to advance before her, and sparks flew from the collision with something invisible.

Fann Mingshan was dumbfounded.

Divine Sense!

Jiang Yuebai managed to block his Armor with Divine Sense alone, indicating her Divine Sense was not only vast but also very solid.

Divine Sense is intangible, like clouds or mist, and cultivating it is extremely difficult. Most cultivators can only accumulate it over the years, allowing the mist-like Divine Sense to expand in volume.

Methods for refining Divine Sense are scarce, mostly held by the Demon Clan.

Only those who specialize in refining Divine Sense can train it to the point where it condenses from gaseous to liquid, then forms a Divine Elixir akin to a Golden Core, or even nurtures a Divine Infant from the Divine Elixir.

Only by reaching this stage can Divine Sense condense into Divine Gang, akin to Spiritual Energy forming Protective Gang Qi, to ward off Magical Techniques or Magic Treasures.

Witnessing this scene, Zhuge Ziyin couldn’t help but stand upright, his pupils shuddering. Having trained in the Zhuge Family’s secret Refining God Method since childhood, he had barely formed a Divine Elixir, and the Divine Gang from his Divine Sense lacked such strength.

Could it be that she has already formed a Divine Infant?

Jiang Yuebai had no time to consider the reactions of others at that moment. Although her Dantian was sealed, she could still use Demon Art, but her stubborn streak got the best of her, refusing to use Demon Art.

That old fool looked down on her Puppetry Technique; she insisted on slapping his face with it.

Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Sense suddenly expanded, enveloping all the Armors in mid-air, and then condensed into fine threads that penetrated the Armors. In a mere blink, she severed Fann Mingshan’s control.

Silk Control Technique!

Fann Mingshan was shocked; he couldn’t compete with Jiang Yuebai in terms of Divine Sense.

The Silk Control Technique is a method used by Low-Level Yin Yang Family to manipulate Yin Yang Puppets, akin to controlling puppets with strings, using Divine Sense to guide puppet actions in battle.

Watching his well-repaired Armor being taken over by Jiang Yuebai, Fann Mingshan felt helpless, stepping back and simultaneously controlling two newly repaired heavy crossbows with his Divine Sense.

These were his most potent weapons, meticulously prepared to replace the previous Armor’s twin arms, but they lacked critical components.

The power of these two heavy crossbows was identical to those on the inner city walls of the Zhuge Family; one shot could pierce the Protective Gang Qi of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, causing severe injury if not death.

With the crossbows planted firmly, mechanisms extended, and the black muzzle aimed at Jiang Yuebai, the talismanic light flickered.

Golden Spiritual Energy swirled and gathered, quickly forming a highly compressed golden sphere at the mouths of the two crossbows, vibrating violently.

Before Jiang Yuebai could react, the crossbows fired simultaneously.

Boom! Boom!

The muzzle shook, air rippled like waves, and two golden spheres followed one after the other, tearing through the air.

Before reaching Jiang Yuebai, they exploded into countless golden arrows, the barrage so intense it seemed to cut through the air, sealing all avenues of escape around Jiang Yuebai.

Fann Mingshan’s lips curled into a smile; at such close range, without the ability to use Spiritual Energy, no matter how strong her Divine Gang, she couldn’t spread it wide enough to defend against the attack.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, he saw a tide of Little Spiders surge from behind Jiang Yuebai, swiftly splitting into two torrents.

One laid out a web of thunder before Jiang Yuebai, the other crashed directly into the golden light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Like a heavy downpour on Jingx Lake, blasts of golden ripples erupted in the air between the two, endlessly echoing with strange sounds.

Ninety-nine percent of the golden light was obliterated by the self-destructing Runes of the Little Spiders, with the remainder hitting the web before Jiang Yuebai. It vanished in a flash of lightning.

Jiang Yuebai remained calm, standing unmoved.

Two pairs of arms behind her continued to produce new Little Spiders, while the rest numbered in the thousands despite the self-destructed ones just now.

In the midst of rustling sounds, the Little Spiders gathered around Jiang Yuebai, stacking and climbing, their legs interlocking to form a human outline.

Crack! Crack!

The human-shaped Armor, entirely composed of Little Spiders, wielded two long sabers made of intertwining lightning, arcs flickering and splattering with a formidable air.

Without any further words, Jiang Yuebai tilted her head. The Armor lifted from the ground, moving like lightning as it swung the Lightning Long Saber, reaching Fann Mingshan’s head in an instant!
