My Master Knows It All

In the blink of an eye, the golden lightning collided with the golden glow.

Instantly, Fang Shengqing’s golden protective divine power shook violently, as if a mountain were trembling and about to collapse.

Within the glow, the silhouette of the Golden Dragon emitted a piercing scream from the clash with the lightning. On the golden shield, fine cracks appeared, as if it were under unbearable pressure.

And these cracks were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Behind, the divine skills of the other cultivators also descended.

In an instant, the golden protective divine power crumbled loudly, like a shattered illusion, and the image of the Golden Dragon dissipated along with it.

Almost simultaneously, Fang Shengqing’s figure retreated rapidly.

The falling Thunder Strike and other attacks almost grazed his body as they struck the western platform, leaving a clear mark on the sturdy stage.

”Approaching the Golden Core Period Limit, finally getting interesting.” Fang Shengqing brushed aside his outer robe, which had been grazed by the lightning and shredded, and with a sudden fling, he threw off his cloak, revealing the azure tight-fitting attire underneath.

Though his body protection spell was broken, his face showed no signs of worry or fear.

On the distant Gao Shan, many cultivators watching this battle also became interested.

”It’s getting interesting. This cultivator using thunderbolt proficiency, his divine skills are quite extraordinary.”

”Actually, the reason Fang Shengqing is so arrogant is not just because he’s suddenly at the Golden Core Period Limit, but also because of his protective divine power. That protective divine power is likely the Return Dragon Body Protection Technique, the strongest body protection technique of the Return to Heaven Sect.

Back then, when we were in the Central Continent, their Return to Heaven Sect’s Golden Core Stage disciples were extremely powerful precisely because of the Return Dragon Body Protection Technique.

Yet, he didn’t expect that on the other side, there was another cultivator with divine skills not any weaker than the Return Dragon Body Protection Technique.”

”Actually, no matter how strong a divine skill is, it doesn’t mean much, because after entering the Earth Immortal Realm, one must cultivate spells, and spells are entirely different from divine skills.

Although, some divine skills are the foundation for spells, when some divine skills turn into spells, they are far less powerful than they were as divine skills, and the Return Dragon Body Protection Technique is one among them.”

”In most cases, that’s true, but there are exceptions, some divine skills remain strong even when turned into spells, such as the Hundred Peaks Sect’s Five-thunder Righteous Method.”

”No, I feel that the Five-thunder Righteous Method is more powerful as a spell than it is as a divine skill.”

”Speaking of which, this time there are quite a few disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect who will compete, but we haven’t seen any disciple use the Five-thunder Righteous Method yet.”

They all knew that the spell of the Five-thunder Righteous Method was only known by the disciples of Four Treasures Peak, or Cao Zhen’s wife, but the divine skill of the method was rumored within the Hundred Peaks Sect, and many disciples knew it.

”The thunderbolt proficiency used by that previous disciple was strong, but compared to the Five-thunder Righteous Method, it’s still slightly inferior.”

Amidst the chatter, on platform number nine, the divine skill attacks by everyone were once again directed at Fang Shengqing.

With his protective divine power destroyed, this time Fang Shengqing did not stay in the same place but quickly moved forward. Though arrogant, he was not bullheaded.

Without a protective divine power, enduring others’ attacks with his body? That’s asking for death!

Facing everyone’s divine skill attacks, his body flickered like a stream of light, vanishing in an instant, leaving behind a faint shadow.

From afar, it looked as if the afterimage interlaced behind him, as if he existed in multiple places simultaneously.

In just a moment, he appeared in front of a nearby cultivator.

Using divine skills to attack him?

He wanted to see if they still dared to recklessly employ divine skill attacks when he suddenly appeared in front of one of their cultivators. If they kept doing so, their team would surely fall apart.

After all, these people weren’t disciples of one great sect but were temporarily united to deal with him.

In any realm, when facing less competent cultivators encircling you, the best strategy is to rapidly approach them so they don’t dare to continue their wild attacks.

In his hand, a pitch-black longsword appeared, slashing towards the cultivator.

The opponent’s cultivator was taken completely off guard by his speed, appearing before him in an instant, making it impossible to dodge.

Seeing the sharp blade about to strike down, suddenly, on the platform, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, quickly flashing, and appeared in front of Fang Shengqing, blocking his black longsword with a silver longsword.

The clash of blade and sword immediately produced a crisp ringing sound.

At the point of contact between sword and blade, a chain of dazzling sparks erupted, and Fang Shengqing suddenly felt a tremendous force, causing him to involuntarily take three steps back.

His gaze fell upon the figure opposite him.

It was him again!

On this platform, the one holding the colorful bamboo sign, also the person whose strength was closest to his.

”Want to pit your swordsmanship against my sword technique? I shall see how skilled you really are!” Fang Shengqing sneered, swinging his long blade mightily towards the opponent.

Although the previous strike caused him to step back three paces, it was because the opponent had the element of surprise. His physical strength was immense as well.
