My Master Knows It All

589: Chapter 196_4 589: Chapter 196_4 Although it might be partially due to the principle that all things are interconnected, Xiang Ziyu is truly a genius.

If it weren’t for the fact that Xiang Ziyu, with his Ancient Immortal Body, couldn’t improve his cultivation base, Cao Zhen would even suspect that Xiang Ziyu could break through to the Wind Fire Tribulation just from the stimulation of the outside world, the stimulation of battle, and his own fighting spirit.

Wind Fire Tribulation…

Cao Zhen suddenly thought of something.

During the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the most powerful combatants were those at the Ten Different Phenomena Perfect Completion Golden Core because those in the midst of the Wind Fire Tribulation did not dare to move recklessly.

Back then, The Way of Heaven and Earth was peculiar; battles during the Wind Fire Tribulation could easily draw in the true Heavenly Tribulation, forcing those facing it to directly confront the trial of the Wind Fire Tribulation.

But his four disciples, Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu, and Little Beiyan, all possessed Ancient Immortal Bodies!

They were incapable of breaking through on their own.

So, what if he could advance them to the Wind Fire Tribulation level himself?

It seemed they would still be able to fight freely because they couldn’t break through on their own!

As a result, once the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrived, the actual highest combat power would belong to the Wind Fire Tribulation.

Moreover, only his four disciples would possess this highest level of combat power!

The more Cao Zhen thought about it, the more he believed this possibility was extremely likely.

Therefore…

he needed to find more medicinal ingredients to help his disciples with alchemy, so they could be elevated to the cultivation level of the Wind Fire Tribulation.

However, this was uncertain; when the time came, he would let them choose one among themselves to be elevated to the Wind Fire Tribulation level.

Then they would fight and see if it was possible to break through.

It would be a big problem if it actually caused a breakthrough.

In that case, he would have to prepare pills for traversing tribulation and various materials for his disciples.

He had no idea how much it would cost!

A headache, a real headache.

As Cao Zhen was pondering, on the platform above, countless branches converged above Freely Child’s head, forming a giant umbrella shape to protect against the thunder crashing down from the sky.

Xiang Ziyu’s divine skills were indeed stronger, but Freely Child’s cultivation base and mana were more powerful, which compensated for the gap in divine skills.

After missing with his initial strike, Xiang Ziyu did not hesitate, continuously launching divine skills in a frenzy towards Freely Child.

Freely Child countered with his own divine skills, resisting the assault.

Although the speed and frequency at which Xiang Ziyu deployed his divine skills grew faster and the variety of skills increased,

nothing he used could penetrate Freely Child’s defenses.

On the peaks beyond the Hundred Peaks Sect, the fight held no direct relevance for most viewers; they weren’t concerned with who won or lost and were simply engrossed in watching an exceptionally thrilling exchange of spells.

For a moment, the audience was utterly captivated.

From time to time, praises for Xiang Ziyu rang out.

“Xiang Ziyu is truly a genius!”

“Indeed, I am now absolutely certain that he is much stronger than he was yesterday.”

“It’s a pity he’s facing an opponent in the Wind Fire Tribulation.”

“It’s truly regrettable; now I actually think that among the four disciples of Four Treasures Peak at Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection, Xiang Ziyu is the strongest, but it’s a pity he’s still going to be eliminated.”

“He’s just at Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection, while his opponent is at the Wind Fire Tribulation.

With the battle dragging on like this, Xiang Ziyu will undoubtedly be the first to falter.”

“The two of them are starting hand-to-hand combat now.”

“It’s no use; the Wind Fire Tribulation is too powerful.”

“The injuries on Xiang Ziyu are getting more and more severe!”

“Boom!”

With a heavy palm strike, Freely Child knocked Xiang Ziyu back, causing him to fly toward the edge of the platform, where he finally managed to stabilize himself.

Three zhang!

If he retreated another three zhang, he would fall off the platform.

From a distance, he glanced at Freely Child across from him and slowly reached into his Qiankun Bag, but the next moment, he withdrew his hand, which was empty.

“Sigh, there’s no way around it.

I originally intended to defeat you with my own strength alone, but it seems difficult now.

Therefore, I have no choice but to use a secret technique.”

“Secret technique?”

From atop the mountain, Cao Zhen listened to Xiang Ziyu’s words from the platform, his face showing a trace of surprise.

Just now, Xiang Ziyu had reached into his Qiankun Bag, probably intending to take out a treasure.

Previously, Little Beiyan had mentioned that Xiang Ziyu had melted down the divine weapon Cao Zhen gave him in order to repair the Ancestral Elder’s divine weapon.

Last night, Cao Zhen also asked Xiang Ziyu if the divine weapon had been repaired.

Xiang Ziyu replied that it hadn’t been fully repaired, but it could be used.

Xiang Ziyu’s gesture must have been to use the divine weapon.

Why, all of a sudden, is he not using the divine weapon but rather a secret technique that comes with side effects?

Cao Zhen himself knew about Xiang Ziyu’s secret technique.

After all, because of the China Cloud, he too possessed that secret technique.

Secret techniques always come with backlash and side effects.

Xiang Ziyu’s secret technique is no exception.

Even though Xiang Ziyu’s secret technique is a bit peculiar and its side effects aren’t as severe, there are still side effects.

No matter how miraculous Xiang Ziyu’s healing divine powers may be, or even if Cao Zhen provided him with medicine, returning to peak condition after using the secret technique would still take at least five days.

What about his fight tomorrow?

Why would he, when he could use the divine weapon, choose not to, and prefer to use a secret technique that causes side effects?
