Chapter 321: Battle of the Martial Sages (1)

Shouts, exclamations, and yells filled the coastline.

Countless Yu Nation citizens looked at the sky and shouted excitedly.

“He’s here, he’s here! Our Martial Sage is here!”

“Speaking of which, what does the Martial Sage look like? Anyone got a clear look?”

“I can’t see anything at all. I’m using a high-multiplier telescope. I can only see a ball of light!”

“Above the first-grade is the Transcendent-grade, and Martial Sage that guards the dynasty. Unfortunately, I’m not fated to see his true appearance.”

“Hehe, we don’t even know what abilities a Martial Sage has. Perhaps he once met you on the streets, but you were unaware.”

“…”

The sound of discussions and cheers resounded across the beach.

…

On an open-air platform of a battleship in the sea south of the Giant Shark Island.

“Master, Master, the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is here!”

A young girl with an outstanding figure and delicate features looked at the sky and shouted excitedly, “I can’t see what he looks like. Master, did you see him?”

“No.”

Beside the girl was a graceful and beautiful woman. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the sky and frowned. “He’s wearing a special battle armor. His entire body is covered.”

“Ah, doesn’t that mean that we won’t know what he looks like?” The girl commented regretfully.

“What a Martial Sage looks like isn’t important.” The beautiful woman patted the girl’s head dotingly and explained, “A Martial Sage looks at strength. As for the specifics, you don’t have to know for now. I’ll tell you when it’s time for you to know.”

“I’m just curious.” The girl stuck out her tongue. “Then, Master, how long do you think the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage can last against New Chu’s Martial Sage?”

“I don’t know.” The beautiful woman shook her head. “Although the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage has just advanced, no one can be sure if he is strong or weak, especially when no one knows if the old Martial Sage left any treasures for him.

“That’s right. Master, you said that the Yu Nation’s old Martial Sage has lived for hundreds of years. He must have accumulated a lot of treasures.” The girl came to a realization. “The Yu Nation’s new Martial Sage is no match for New Chu’s Martial Sage, but with powerful treasures, he might not necessarily lose.”

“That’s right. If those people want to see the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage suffer a crushing defeat, it won’t be that simple,” concluded the beautiful woman indifferently.

…

“You’re here.”

On a small island to the east of the Giant Shark Island, an old man with long flowing hair gazed at the sky and shouted at an old man sitting cross-legged behind him, “Grandpa, the Yu Nation’s new Martial Sage is here.”

“Mm.” The old man narrowed his eyes and replied softly, “Continue watching the show.”

“…Yes, Grandpa.” The long-haired old man opened his mouth and nodded.

…

North of Giant Shark Island, at the peak of the clouds.

A group of top-ranked experts carrying long swords on their backs floated in the air and looked at the horizon, their eyes flickering with fighting spirit.

“Everyone, Master said that this Martial Sage Battle is a once-in-a-century opportunity to comprehend. Whether you can take this opportunity to break through depends on whether you can seize it.”

A middle-aged man in a long robe said in a deep voice, “If you want to obtain Master’s guidance, it’s useless unless you reach a certain level. Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, I hope you won’t waste it.”

“Don’t worry, we know what to do.”

“This is a battle between Martial Sages, should we retreat further out?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

“…”

The others chimed in and changed the topic.

The corners of the middle-aged man’s lips twitched, but he remained silent.

He had already said what he needed to say. Whether they listened or not was none of his business.

…

Giant Shark Island.

Above a row of tall and steep mountains in the center.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul descended from the sky in the Thunder Dragon Armor.

At first glance, he spotted a person sitting on the peak of the highest mountain.

There was a platform on the peak that had been slashed out by a human.

On the platform was a stone table with four dishes.

A tall and burly man with an indistinct aura was sitting on a stone bench. He held wine in one hand and chopsticks in the other as he ate and drank leisurely.

Su Jingxing slowly approached. When he was ten meters away from the platform——

“You’re here.”

Without looking up, the burly man called out, “Sit down, sit down. I’ve been waiting for you for a day. You’re finally here. Fortunately, I prepared cold dishes. There are lots left. Quickly sit down and have a drink.”

Su Jingxing didn’t move. He floated in the air and stopped moving forward.

This fellow had really organized a banquet to treat him to a meal.

Su Jingxing could sense that the burly man was not an Essence Soul, but a physical body.

The body of a Martial Sage after the Divine Embryo hatched an Essence Soul.

A body of this level had a lifespan of 360 years.

As for his defense, speed, strength, and other aspects, Su Jingxing wasn’t sure.

However, it was not inferior to ordinary transcendent bodies, especially its true essence. The true essence of a Martial Sage’s body had at least 200 years of cultivation.

In other words, even without an Essence Soul, a Martial Sage was still extremely powerful.

“Have a seat.”

Su Jingxing didn’t move, so the burly man continued, “Don’t worry, there’s no poison in the dishes or wine. Since I’ve invited you, I won’t touch these crooked ways. These crooked ways won’t work on you either. Don’t you agree, Brother?”

Su Jingxing remained silent.

The might of a Martial Sage’s body could not be underestimated. Su Jingxing was prepared to attack at any time.

“Alright.”

Seeing that Su Jingxing didn’t respond, the burly man shook his head and slowly put down his chopsticks. “Since you don’t want to eat, I’ll have them taken away. By the way, my name is Xiang Qingtian. What’s your name, Younger Brother?”

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Deep down, he was slightly surprised.

Xiang Qingtian!

The old thing’s name sure is domineering. The Xiang Family produced two Martial Sages in a row. No wonder they’re so domineering and wanted to annex the Yu Nation.
