Chapter 29: First Battle Victory

  ……

  Weihua was at least a mid-to-high-level figure in the third layer of Qi Refining, and after several rounds of washing his marrow and cutting his hair, his physical quality was naturally not ordinary. After being forced to flip over several times, he stumbled and staggered to stand still, looking somewhat disheveled as he glared fiercely at Leidong Chenge. However, when he turned around, he saw Ding Yuanyan standing calmly in the distance with a serene expression, like a gentle breeze on a cloudy day. His ferocious face immediately became gloomy, and he took a deep breath before bowing his head to say: "Weihua greets Senior Sister."

  Ding Wanyan also nodded slightly in courtesy.

  "Hei Lian Pai glared at Wei Hua and said in a cold voice: 'No need to say more, let's start the duel.'"

  Just as the last word was spoken, Wei Hua directly raised her hands and shrieked: "I admit defeat, I surrender!"

  Even Ding Wanyan was stunned, this guy surrendered so quickly, it's beyond expectation. The onlookers murmured in surprise. But Wei Hua, on the other hand, proudly waved to the crowd and jumped off the stage without any shame. Lei Dong and Wei Hua stared at each other, Wei Hua's face is unexpectedly thick-skinned.

  In this way, Ding Yanyu had already won the first point without even summoning her main attacking magic weapon.

  Next up was the Lei Dong's match. The three of them walked to the side of the third arena, where the first match was about to begin. Both sides were at the third layer of Qi refining, and had only learned ordinary magic spells, wearing entry-level equipment. They were wielding dark green short swords, clashing with each other, occasionally casting out a flame or an ice spell, all basic magic spells. This level of competition was so boring that even the judge on the side was about to fall asleep.

  After a fierce battle that lasted for a moment, when the true energy of both men was almost exhausted, one of them finally seized an opportunity and cast an ice spell on the ground, forming a layer of ice. The other person accidentally slipped and fell, getting hit by a sword on his arm. He had no choice but to loudly admit defeat. The winner was extremely excited, while the loser hung his head in despair.

  Soon, the tall and thin referee called out the names of Lei Dong and Wu Qianqiu. That Wu Qianqiu was tall and big, quite handsome, and he also showed off his skills, jumping up lightly and landing on the stage with ease.

  Lei Dong was too lazy to care about him and walked up the stairs step by step.

  As neither of them was a formidable opponent, there weren't many onlookers around.

  "Lei Shixiong, please spare your subordinates." Wu Qianqiu smiled slightly.

  Lei Dong nodded indifferently.

  As the judge's sentence began, Wu Qianqiu's face suddenly turned ferocious, overlaid with a faint dark blue color. In the first moment, his left hand reached forward, and a ghostly, twisted, and sharp claw-like thing shot towards Lei Dong like a specter. The momentum was vast, swift as lightning.

  "Ghostly Palm!" The people around him suddenly cried out.

  And the Thunder Movement's Yu Gui Jue, Chen Ge's Ming Huo Dan, and the like. They all belong to the Yin Sha Sect's Lian Qi period's signature techniques, and after cultivating to the Zhu Ji period, there are even more powerful follow-up techniques. Gui Sha Palm is one of them, and when Le Dong was selecting excellent techniques, he also paid attention to this technique. No need to capture yin souls everywhere, just absorb sha energy during cultivation to temper the body. And blend the simplicity of Xuan Yin True Energy with sha energy. This forms the prerequisite for casting Gui Sha Palm.

  Sha, in a certain sense, is also a kind of spiritual energy. There are innate Sha and acquired Sha. In terms of categories, there are many different types, with numerous names. For example, thunder Sha, yang Sha, yin Sha, etc. The Yin Sha Sect, being named after yin Sha, naturally has a very strong understanding and application of yin Sha. There are many techniques and methods related to yin Sha within the sect. And within the sphere of influence of the Yin Sha Sect, places with yin Sha energy can be seen everywhere.

  It is clear that Wu Qianqiu blended into the Xuan Yin True Qi, which is the Yin Sha. Of course, even if it is Yin Sha, there are dozens of different qualities. As for this point, Lei Dong's research is not much, and it is not very clear.

  But the power of Gui Sha Palm, another signature technique of the Yin Evil Sect, was certainly not ordinary. Lei Dong's face changed slightly, and he faintly felt a cold aura surrounding him, knowing that this person's Gui Sha Palm had been cultivated to a very good level, and could even use his divine sense to lock onto his body and guide the direction of the ghostly palm. He knew that if he tried to escape, the ghostly palm would definitely follow closely under Wu Qianqiu's guidance. His own speed was not slow, but it was no match for the speed of the ghostly palm.

  Without any intention of using his physical strength to fight the ghost, he slightly raised his hand and the four Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldiers blocked in front of him. The Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldiers immediately held up their shields and shrunk into a ball.

  Boom! The ferocious evil spirit and the bloodthirsty ghost soldier collided fiercely, their malevolent aura shooting out in all directions like a burst of air. As the bloodthirsty ghost soldier flew backward, its semi-transparent shield shattered, and at the same time, its ghostly body showed signs of dispersing and losing cohesion. This blow from the ghost's palm was incredibly powerful.

  "Ghostly Art, Fourth-Grade Ghost Soldier?" The onlookers who recognized the goods also cried out in surprise. A fourth-grade ghost soldier was basically equivalent to a ordinary Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivator in terms of strength. If nothing unexpected happened, just this one fourth-grade ghost soldier would be enough to sweep away half of the disciples in the same generation. Looking at Lei Dong's expression again, it had already changed greatly. After all, he was someone with a fourth-grade ghost soldier, how could his combat power be measured by his mere Qi Refining Third Layer cultivation?

  It is well-known that the Ghost Taming Spell is relatively easy to cultivate, but if you want to become very powerful through it, you need to have good luck and capture a spirit ghost. Of course, you can also spend 10 spiritual stones to buy a spirit ghost. Unfortunately, new disciples who have only cultivated for three years don't have much spare money to buy spirit ghosts. Even if they do buy one, they still need an excellent Soul Nourishing Tower to nurture it and occasionally take it out to absorb blood and flesh. Therefore, although the Ghost Taming Spell is very powerful, it is extremely difficult to cultivate.

  Wu Qianqiu's face turned pale as his powerful Ghost Slashing Palm was blocked by a mere 4th-level ghost soldier. The Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier, which had almost dispersed, let out a shrill cry and pounced forward with its knife, its body glowing bright red. The Ghost Slashing Palm was not weak, but Wu Qianqiu was only a 3rd-layer Qi Refining cultivator, and it was impossible for him to use such a powerful technique twice in a row. Not wanting to admit defeat, he drew out his dark green sword and controlled it with his divine sense to slash at the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier.

  Lei Dong's heart ached as the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier was injured, and he couldn't just stand by. He wielded the dark green sword, transforming it into a green light that fiercely stabbed at the opponent. "Clang" - the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier withstood the attack, striking first and slashing Wu Qianqiu with his knife. A black shield with ferocious ghostly patterns instantly appeared on Wu Qianqiu's body, withstanding the dark blade.

  Both of them displayed their sect's signature magic, which initially made the Foundation Period judges think it was going to be another dull match. The onlookers at other arenas also gathered around after hearing about the Ghostly Palm and Fourth-Grade Ghost Guard.

  A crisp, metallic sound rang out as the dark green sword was also blocked. Wu Qianqiu dodged and weaved with his body technique, barely avoiding the relentless attacks of the bloodthirsty ghost soldiers, but he would occasionally get cut by a knife. The artifact shield could block the knives at critical moments, but it wasn't a long-term solution. Taking a deep breath, Wu Qianqiu shifted most of his attention to Leidong, directing the dark green sword to stab at him, betting that Leidong didn't have an artifact shield.

  Indeed, Lei Dong had no defensive magic tools. But the mid-grade Cloud Stepping Boots bestowed by his ancestors were not just for show? His body moved slightly, and the opponent's small sword only hit a residual shadow. At the same time, he urged the dark green small sword to slash fiercely at Wu Qianqiu. The turtle shell was just a turtle shell, no matter how hard it was, it couldn't block indefinitely.

  For a moment, Wu Qianqiu was at a disadvantage, as if he could no longer withstand it. But Lei Dong was still on high alert, after all, three years ago when he first entered the sect, he had witnessed a bloody comeback in the once-in-a-decade grand competition, which left an indelible mark on his mind.

  "Hmm"

  As the bloodthirsty ghost struck with a heavy blow, the shield instantly shattered, and the spiritual energy that was originally flowing vaguely dissipated cleanly.

  "I give up." Wu Qianqiu's face changed greatly, seemingly unwilling, but knowing that continuing to fight would put his life at risk. He had no choice but to flush red and surrender.

  Lei Dong immediately stopped his attack, and Xi Xue Gui's quick turn flew back to his side, on high alert.

  "Ten thousand ghosts cave small comparison, the third game of the bronze medal match, Lei Dong vs Wu Qianqiu. The result of the fight, Lei Dong won and scored one point."

  As the judge announced the result, Lei Dong also let out a sigh of relief, secretly scolding, "This kid Wu Qianqiu is not showing off his skills, not only is his Ghost Slashing Palm strong, but he also has defensive magical tools."

  Chen Ge and Wei Hua, seeing Lei Dong's victory, were the first to shout and cheer. The others, after witnessing this wonderful competition, also followed with loud cheers.
