Tenfold the power, ingeniously launched with an arrow, directly detonated the Thunder Cloud Eye. The intense explosion set off a chain reaction, causing the spell to dissipate before it even struck.
As the dark clouds and thunder arcs gradually vanished, the space fell into a strange silence, and the sky cleared up once again.
Xuanmingzi, still hovering midair, declared with a smile, "Wang Mu wins. He has now won two rounds."
On the platform, Ye Ge said with his arms crossed, "Impressive, fellow Daoist! Not only are you wealthy, but your execution of that sword technique was spot on, shattering my Heavenly Thunder Introduction. I've learned something. I admit defeat this round."
"I never expected that your Sword Sect still had this move..."
He spoke very candidly.
"You flatter me," Wang Mu said.
"I thought I wouldn't taste defeat in this Potential List—at worst a draw. I never expected to lose to you," Ye Ge said, standing with his hands behind his back. "Brother Wang, if you ever travel through Qianzhou, feel free to visit my Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect when you have time."
After saying this, he stepped down from the stage, clean and decisive.
"Who else is there?" Wang Mu asked. This dueling was quite enjoyable.
The remaining few hesitated. Well, now the first and second on the Potential List had both been defeated. The others were all more or less evenly matched. If they went up and used their full strength, winning might invite ridicule, while losing would just add another defeat to their records. It seemed it really wasn't a good idea to go up.
「On the other side.」
"This guy... how is he getting stronger and stronger?" Qin Yuyan's beautiful eyes flickered as she watched, captivated. She looked at the remaining few. "Really? You're scared now? Go on up! Honestly, every single one of you... Can't even defeat a Qi Refining Realm disciple..."
「Moments later.」
Someone finally stood up. It was Jing Hai from the Dazang Buddha Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, I'd like to test your sword technique," Jing Hai said with a smile as he walked up.
Wang Mu looked at him. This person reminded him somewhat of... Fa Hai.
"If you can break my defense, consider it my loss," Jing Hai said. "As a member of the Buddhist Sect, I do not delight in offensive and lethal techniques, so I will not attack."
Hearing this, many cultivators in the crowd who had sparred with him shuddered. It wasn't just a distaste for offense; he was like a turtle, purely defensive, only conceding when his opponent ran out of spiritual power.
"This monk..." Ye Ge, who had just stepped down, secretly exhaled.
Among the top ten, if there were no rules and they really fought, I'd be fairly confident of winning against most. Except against this one. Too damn tough. The Vajra Buddha Bone of the Dazang Buddha Sect provides immense immunity to all sorts of spells; my Thunder Skill is greatly weakened when it strikes him. Among the top ten, probably only the Qianyuan Sword Sect might be able to steadily overpower him. This is because their sword techniques are all very powerful and excel at single-target attacks, giving them a chance to break through this monk's defense. The Qiankun Sword is powerful, but it consumes a lot. Against this monk, the Sword Control Technique won't be very effective. He couldn't possibly still have that many top-grade flying swords, could he?
This was a thought shared by many cultivators. Wang Mu indeed didn't have many top-grade flying swords left—only two, one of which he needed for himself. The other had already been used.
Stepping onto the platform, Jing Hai clasped his hands together. His body began to shine with a brilliant golden light, and a majestic, solemn phantom emerged around him. His entire body seemed coated in a layer of glassy golden luster. His muscles started to swell, tightening the kasaya wrapped around him. Though bald, his face was as fair as jade, and he appeared to be a remarkably handsome young man. At this moment, he stood as immovable as a mountain, like a Saint Monk who had cultivated for hundreds of lifetimes.
"Tsk... If you joined my sect and learned a bit of Charming Technique, you could break this young monk's Vajra Glass Body with a single glance; he's clearly not deeply immersed in worldly affairs." Qin Yuyan pouted from the sidelines. She, who had originally wanted so badly for Wang Mu to lose, was now pondering how he could win.
The Vajra Glass Body is a Buddhist Body Cultivation Secret Skill. When activated, the body becomes as impenetrable as glass and the heart as sacred as a Buddha. It repels all external techniques, maintaining a noble and holy interior. It is said that only powerful Divine Sense attacks can penetrate its defenses. All other Magic and Divine Skills find it extremely difficult to breach from the outside. It is particularly effective against immensely powerful spells.
With Junior Brother Wang's Sword Control Technique, it's impossible to win, Zhou Kaizhi pondered from below the stage. Even with two Perfect Auxiliary Skills and the boost from a top-grade flying sword, it's unlikely he'll break through. This is a superior Body Cultivation Secret Skill. Even for sword techniques, it would require a middle-level one of immense power to possibly succeed.
"Brother Su, aside from the Sword Control Technique and the Qiankun Sword, what else did you teach him?"
"Uh, just the Ten Thousand Sword Technique," Brother Su replied.
"The Ten Thousand Sword Technique is a middle-level sword technique, superior to the Sword Control Technique. Its power is indeed very strong. However, not only does the technique consume a vast amount of spiritual power, but it also requires at least Great Success in its cultivation to even have a chance of using it. With Junior Brother Wang's current state, it's simply impossible for him to perform such a demanding sword technique," Zhou Kaizhi frowned and shook his head. "The Dazang Buddha Sect has had considerable contact with our Sword Sect. Many senior brothers have sparred with them and have some understanding. Breaking through the Vajra Glass Body in Junior Brother Wang's current condition seems unlikely."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Wang Mu once again raise his top-grade flying sword. It spun as it ascended into the sky. In an instant, sword lights formed from spiritual power began to replicate and circle around him. In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword lights appeared... In another blink, hundreds more materialized...
Seeing this, numerous disciples of the Sword Sect were taken aback.
"Actually using the Ten Thousand Sword Technique... Wait... this is..."
The sword lights seemed endless...
A Perfect Ten Thousand Sword Technique!
In moments, the sky was filled with sword lights.
The onlookers were astounded by the sight.
The Sword Sect's Ten Thousand Sword Technique was an extremely famous sword technique.
