My Master Knows It All

He lifted his leg to step forward, but as he took a step, that discomfort, that sense of constraint, did not diminish in the slightest.

What’s going on?

Zi Xuan’s complexion changed drastically, refusing to believe in the curse, he took another step to the side, yet, there was still no change.

“I don’t believe this!”

Zi Xuan quickened his pace, moving rapidly around the area, but no matter how he moved, he still felt his strength tightly bound.

Below the arena, Little Beiyan pointed at Zi Xuan with a puzzled look and shouted, “What’s wrong with him, hopping up and down?

Does he have lice on him?

And why hasn’t my senior sister made a move yet?

Didn’t that guy let her go first?”

His location was not far from the arena, and his voice clearly reached Zi Xuan’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan was suddenly startled, feeling that he could only exert seventy percent of his strength.

If he allowed his opponent to make a move…

I can’t wait any longer, I must strike first!

As for what he had said before, about letting the opponent strike first…

The opponent had already released the Formation Map; that was considered making a move, so it wouldn’t be going back on his word if he made a move now!

Zi Xuan frantically urged the energy within his body, and his back’s Dao platform, Immortal Bridge, and inner core shook violently.

The next moment, he opened his mouth and bit down hard on his tongue.

Bright red blood flowed out, shooting towards the sky.

Each drop of blood was like a blooming flower, falling from the sky and covering his entire body.

“Condensing blood into flowers!

The unique secret technique of Falling Champ Peak!” Someone among the instructors in the distance exclaimed in surprise.

At first glance, the technique of condensing blood into flowers looked similar to divine skills of the Demonic Path; indeed, there were people who had remarked that Disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect shouldn’t cultivate this technique.

Yet Falling Champ Peak had continued to pass down this secret technique generation after generation.

It was too powerful!

Falling Champ Peak could rank thirty-second within Hundred Peaks Sect largely due to this secret technique.

Once the technique was executed, one’s combat power would soar in an instant.

The extent of the enhancement depended largely on the individual’s cultivation base.

Of course, this secret technique also came with a severe repercussion.

If one couldn’t defeat the opponent shortly after using the technique, their vitality would begin to decline continuously due to the side effects.

Therefore, nobody would use condensing blood into flowers until a critical moment.

Zi Xuan had actually used it immediately.

As the blood fell, Zi Xuan’s aura surged dramatically, and even his inner core, which was hard to see without looking closely, became much more solid and emitted beams of light.

“Sword River Clash!”

Zi Xuan’s aura peaked, and he thrust forward with the Azure Water Cold Light Sword in his hand.

The teal blade instantly burst forth with a dazzling radiance; one thrust brought forth a sensation as if a long river, stretching across the heavens and composed of countless sharp swords, was plummeting down, with the might of a simultaneous sword discharge reminiscent of an inverted waterfall or a burst dam.

Where the river cascaded, layers of frost appeared in the air.

Even the spectators around the arena felt the temperature around them plummet.

Sword River Clash was a divine skill unique to Falling Champ Peak, and the Azure Water Cold Light Sword also contained a divine skill – Cold Breath Dominance.

The Azure Water Cold Light Sword was originally a divine weapon from Falling Champ Peak’s ancestors.

The divine skills within it were designed to complement the sect’s other divine skills.

This strike, although unable to merge the two divine skills, harmonized them in a way that the sum was greater than its parts.

When Zi Xuan lunged with his sword, triggering a power far beyond his own in an instant, his face turned pale, his brows furrowed tightly amidst his disheveled hair.

Something was off about this sword’s might!

With the power he unleashed, this strike should have been even more formidable.

But as he swung his sword, he felt an endless flow of Earthen energy infiltrate, significantly diminishing the sword’s might.

Outside the arena, Zi Chen frowned slightly.

Something was wrong!

Zi Xuan’s attack was indeed formidable, but he felt that if it were him, he could perhaps withstand the assault for a moment, even if not completely block it.

However, Zi Xuan’s strike had come after using the secret technique of condensing blood into flowers and with the sect’s divine weapon to execute a divine skill of Falling Champ Peak.

The compounded effects meant the attack’s power should have been far more substantial.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.

He was one of the former Hidden Dragon Three Sons, bearing the title of “Earth,” while Zi Xuan was “Heaven.” He knew how many times he had challenged Zi Xuan, and no one understood Zi Xuan better than he did!

Thus, there was only one possibility, Zi Xuan was indeed suppressed by that Formation Map, and severely so.

On the other end of the arena, Ling Xi looked at the descending Sword River; above her head, from within the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, eight talisman papers rapidly flew out, converging at one point.

Suddenly, these eight talisman papers quickly enlarged, and from below, soil rose up from the earth, covering them.

In just a breath’s time, the eight talisman papers had merged into the semblance of a towering mountain.

The colossal mountain seemed to stretch straight into the heavens.

The Sword River’s descent was halted by this mountain, unable to advance even an inch.

Below the arena the crowd was astonished; that was Zi Xuan giving his all, employing a secret technique to unleash a divine skill, yet it was completely blocked.

And Ling Xi hadn’t even used her divine skills, she merely used eight small talisman papers.
