Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 378 - Qing Yuan Tiu

Qing Yuan Tiu didnʼt mind Bin Taoʼs words and simply focused on what she was doing. She raised her hands in front of her and took a quick breath. Before,

~WHOOSH~

A greenish wind formed on Qing Yuan Tiuʼs palms as it shot straight at Bin Tao. The audience gasped in shock as they had not expected something like this. This was the first time a qi skill like this had been used since the start of the tournament.

~Bam~

~THUD~

The greenish wind hit Bin Tao like a truck and sent him flying out of the ring all the way to the wall of the seating area. His head hit the wall, and a crack was formed on the wall. As he slid down, a trail of blood was left behind.

~Gasp~

”She… did she kill him?” Someone in the audience said.

”HALT!” The referee ordered.

A couple of people went to check up on Bin Tao and found him to be unconscious, albeit alive.

”Heʼs alive!” The helpers said.

~Ching~

Another sound was heard as the six metal rods withdrew back into Qing Yuan Tiuʼs bulky clothes.

The referee raised his hand as he declared, ”The winner is Qing Yuan Tiu!”.

”AMAZING!”

”WOW! That woman is strong!”

”Where is she from?”

A cacophony of voices were heard as the audience broke out in excitement. This was the best fight till now that they had seen, although it was one sided and ended rather quickly.

Lin Mu was a bit confused too upon seeing the fight. While he could understand the qi skill that she had used, he couldnʼt understand what the six metal rods were that he had seen before.

”She uses a special fighting style which uses supportive tools along with Qi skills to complement its flaws. That qi skill she used had a lot of problems but would have knocked her back too if she didnʼt have the support of those metal rods that locked her into her position.” Xukong explained.

”I see… this is rather unique…” Lin Mu muttered in response.

It was the first time he had a cultivator use tools such as this and had not expected a core condensation realm cultivator to fight like this.

”But wait, sheʼs already plenty Strong, why would she even need to use those tools?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Well, you see there are many fighting styles. Some are fully focused on offense and neglect the defensive abilities of the cultivator completely. These cultivators are usually quite Strong against multiple enemies and are helped by their companions as they are best suited to team fights.

But when fighting alone they will be at a disadvantage and thus compensate using supportive tools such as those. It is not that she could directly fight, but rather she had never learned to fight like that.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu nodded his head in understanding, but found it to be a bit strange. Fully giving up on your physical skills seemed a bit foolish to him. But he didnʼt speak further, as he thought there must be more to it than he knew currently.

Wu Hei and the others seemed to be pleased with the fight, while the two Junior disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect were quite shocked.

While others may not have been able to estimate her Cultivation base directly, the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect were much more experienced in it and had seen countless other techniques.

”Senior brother, is that the qi skill… Gale river palm?” The junior brother asked.

”Good observation, junior brother.” Fa Lao said with an approving gaze. ”That is indeed the Gale River Palm.” He confirmed.

”But isnʼt that Qi skill said to be incomplete and imbalanced? Its force is not restrained and affects the user as well as the enemy.” Another junior disciple asked.

”You are correct. But that was exactly why she had used those metal rods there, to support her and overcome the flaw of the Qi skill.” Fa Lao explained.

Lin Mu heard this too and found the explanation to be the same as that of Senior Xukong. He couldnʼt help but look at Qing Yuan Tiu who was walking towards one of the seats in the corner of the seating area. She sat there alone without anyone around her, which only made her look more beautiful.

The other people in the audience were also mesmerized by her strength and beauty and thus were watching her.

”We shall start the next match now!” The referee announced, which made Lin Mu snap out of his thoughts.

The rest of the audience too looked on at the cylindrical container in his hand that he was shaking. Lin Mu watched on with a keen eye as he wanted to see if he would be chosen, but he was not.

”Nie Li and Gen Ma will be the next contestants. The last remaining contestant will be proceed to the next round directly.” The referee declared.

~Sigh~

”I guess it is not time for me yet…” Lin Mu muttered.

Wu Hei heard his words and secretly took a breath of relief. He had intentionally made some changes to the random draw. Lin Muʼs name had been removed by him so that he could proceed till to the next round directly. He knew that Enlai Lan and Qing Yuan Tiu would be creating some waves at the very start, and this did not want to let Lin Muʼs capabilities be exposed straight away.

But he had let the second round be normal, as he knew that people would get suspicious if Lin Mu got the free pass multiple times.

”Whoʼs the last contestant, though? Do we know?” Someone from the audience asked.

”Probably someone new if we donʼt know about it. No need to mention them since they won by default.” Another person who seemed to be part of Enlai Lanaʼs faction said.

Lin Mu was carefully hearing everything and was keeping an eye. He heard these words too but didnʼt mind them. He had far too many important things to deal with right now.
