Chapter 1091: With the Overwhelming Advantage of Having the Wind King on My Side, How Can I Lose?

The huge wind pressure was stronger than the currents emitted by a jet engine. It had reached a level that could be seen by the naked eye.

Even the people around the arena, as well as those who were seated at the very front of the spectators stand, could feel the intense power, let alone Huang Peng.

The air currents smashed into their faces, pressurizing them to close their eyes, unable to keep them open. Their clothes made flapping sounds, and many people fell backward due to the wind pressure.

Were they going to die?

It was still manageable for the cultivators, but the ordinary spectators wore horrific expressions. The wind pressure was too great and they were unable to breathe.

The countenances of the ancestors on the judges’ stand changed drastically.

What… What did she summon out?

Even without any communication, everyone got prepared to go into battle.

Everyone knew that the spiritual beasts summoned by spirit controllers were determined by their masters’ strength. Usually, the spiritual beasts wouldn’t be too much stronger than the spirit controllers.

Summoning spiritual beasts required a spirit controller to bring a spiritual beast into submission. Otherwise, who’d be willing to slog it out for someone else?

Even if a strong spiritual beast were to plead to sign a contract with a spirit controller, the latter might not dare to accept it. The greater the difference in strength, the higher the chances of receiving a backlash.

Right now, the battle pet summoned by Li Ziqi was so terrifying just from the spirit pressure produced. This meant that it must have extremely horrifying strength.

The ancestors felt that Li Ziqi must have done something rash and foolish to win.

Take, for example, using a forbidden spiritual control technique!

The air currents gathered, forming a huge tornado in front of Li Ziqi. Its width was massive and took up one-third of the arena. Its height also surpassed the height of the dome roof.

“Insignificant ants. Who has disturbed my rest?”

A deafening voice rang out next to everyone’s ears. This feeling was as if a sharp knife was poking at their eardrums, and it felt extremely painful.

“To… To think that it’s an element king?”

When the ancestors saw the crown on top of the tornado, they were stunned.

Did it have to be so strong?

Elemental lifeforms were a unique species to the Darkness Continent. Just like how humans could advance in cultivation, they also had their specialized path.

The strongest elemental lifeforms stood at the very top of their element. There’d also be a crown that would manifest above their head, an indication that they were the king.

“F*ck this!”

Wan Xiulin cursed out loud. Could they still continue this battle?

Although his teacher had always warned him to take note of his demeanor when he was outside, so others wouldn’t think of him as a coarse person, he really couldn’t take it anymore.

He really wanted to bellow. (F*ck your 18 generations. Even the Wind King has been summoned. How are we supposed to continue the fight? I’m just an insignificant disciple under my teacher’s wings. I have many genius senior martial siblings. Great Teacher Sun, I beg of you, can you go deal with them instead? Don’t be bullying me anymore! With this Wind King, why didn’t you guys go challenge my teacher?)

Huang Peng half-squatted on the ground, one hand grasping onto the ground tightly so that he wasn’t blown off the arena.

Right now, he was completely stunned. He finally understood why Li Ziqi had been so arrogant to say that she wasn’t going to be using the Skyward Spirit Rune.

(If I had such a powerful summoning beast, I’d be arrogant too!)

Hu! Inhale!

Li Ziqi panted, feeling pain as if all her spirit qi had been sucked dry. She felt that she was like a piece of rag, not having a drop of water left after it was wrung dry.

The little sunny egg wasn’t lacking in money. If this was actual combat, she’d swallow an alchemical pill to replenish her spirit qi. However, this wasn’t allowed in the personal disciples battle.

Of course, with the Wind King’s appearance, it didn’t matter if she were to take such a pill or not.

“With the overwhelming advantage of having the Wind King on my side, how can I lose?”

Li Ziqi looked composed as if she had done something insignificant. However, she was overjoyed inside, feeling so proud that she felt like jumping around and cheering out.

(In order to get the Wind King to submit to me, I’ve paid huge prices!)

“Ant, who allows you to stand on the same piece of land as me?”

The Wind King looked down on Huang Peng. Even though it didn’t seem to have taken any action, several tens of huge dragon spears that could kill ancient beasts appeared on top of Huang Peng’s head.

The sharp spear tips flashed with a piercing glow.

The Wind King was trying to flaunt its great power. Otherwise, the dragon spears would appear transparent and catch them off guard.

“Cough cough!” Li Ziqi coughed.

“What’s the matter?”

The Wind King paused, communicating with her through their minds.

“I only want to vent and prove my value. Don’t kill him!”

Li Ziqi was still kind-hearted. Seeing Huang Peng’s forlorn state, she suddenly couldn’t bear to do it.

“Soft-hearted!” The Wind King said in disdain, “But you’re my master! You call the shots!”

“I told you, I’m not your master! We’re allies!”

Li Ziqi repeated.

It was impossible even for a saint to rely purely on strength to get an element king to submit to them. Therefore, Li Ziqi took a different approach and chose to take it on intellectually.

Her teacher had said that intelligence was also a type of power.

To the Wind King, an existence that had reached an extremity in physical strength, it’d crave for knowledge. However, it might not be able to win against Li Ziqi in terms of pure intelligence.

Otherwise, why wasn’t it able to break through the seal?

“Huh, thankfully you didn’t say that we’re friends.”

The Wind King sneered. An old monster like it no longer believed in lies like friendship after having lived for countless years.

Strength was the eternal trump card!

Right now, this Wind King in the martial dojo wasn’t the real Wind King but a projection that was presented through Li Ziqi’s spiritual control technique.

The Wind King had borne witness to Li Ziqi’s growth over the past few years.

She had grown from being trash who had been rejected by a secondary saint to becoming a talented great teacher who was unrivaled in knowledge. It could be said that other than her motor skills, she didn’t have any other flaws.

Moreover, she had also made up for her battle prowess with her wisdom.

Spirit rune rods, Spiritwave Cannon, and the Skyward Spirit Rune…

Besides, she had broken the first layer of the Wind King’s seal by relying on her great intelligence, allowing the Wind King to be able to cast a projection and come to the outside world to take in some fresh air.

(Sign a spiritual contract? Enslaved? I’m the supreme Wind King! There’s no such thing!)

(Unless I can’t bear with it anymore!)

Hu!

(The outside world has changed so much!)

(And this sky looks so blue! These clouds are so white!)

The Wind King looked at the sky. Suddenly, those dragon spears started to shoot toward a wall in the east.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Those dragon spears were like cannonballs, smashing the thick wall and crumbling it.

Ah!

The spectators nearby let out piercing screams.

“Administer rescue!”

All the ancestors made a move and sent out attacks, crushing the falling pieces from the wall.

“What are you doing?”

Li Ziqi frowned.

“I’ve been craving to be under the sun for far too long!”

The Wind King revealed an enjoyable expression.

The bright sun that rose from the east shone in through the gaps of the martial dojo’s walls.

“Even so, don’t hurt others!”

Li Ziqi felt troubled.

The Wind King didn’t care about this.

Humans?

To it, they were just insignificant ants.

The Wind King turned and looked toward Sun Mo.

“Sun Mo, you’ve taught a good disciple!”

“Long time no see!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“Why? You don’t dare to come and challenge me?”

The Wind King sized up Sun Mo. It had thought that Sun Mo would go to the Wind King Hall to get it to submit to him. After all, it possessed unparalleled battle prowess. However, it had been almost three years and Sun Mo hadn’t done so.

This made it sink into self-doubt as well as feeling a deep sense of defeat.

(Could it be that I’m unworthy of you?)

“My time is very tight.”

Sun Mo shrugged.

“So tight that you don’t even care for me, the Wind King?”

The Wind King sneered. “Do you know that conquering me means that you’ve conquered the entire wind element tribe? That’s about one-fifth of the Darkness Continent!”

Sssss!

When the great teachers heard this, all of them broke into astonished expressions.

One-fifth of the Darkness Continent?

Was it such a big matter?

However, looking at the crown on the Wind King’s head, they thought that it did have the right to say something like this.

“Eldest Martial Sister!”

Lu Zhiruo hid behind Sun Mo and called out. (Is your spiritual beast reliable? Why do I feel like you’re going to have a backlash?)

“Wind King, he is my teacher!”

Li Ziqi frowned. “Please take note of your attitude when you speak. Otherwise, I’ll send you back to the hall right away!”

“I need a reason!”

The Wind King wore a solemn expression. If Sun Mo’s reply couldn’t satisfy him, it’d kill people. It’d wipe out all of the living creatures here.

Buzz!

A wave of mental pressure swept across the entire place.

Everyone, the ancestors included, felt terrified and was bursting out in cold sweat. They subconsciously wanted to escape. This was the imposing power of a king lifeform.

Ba-thump! Ba-thump!

Those who were cowardly dropped to their knees.

This was when the Wind King didn’t wish to anger Li Ziqi. Its mental pressure hadn’t radiated in all directions yet. Otherwise, those ordinary people would die from terror.

Boom!

A golden halo erupted from Sun Mo, protecting his disciples as well as the great teachers and examinees nearby within it.

“Hmmm? What halo is this? Why did that horrifying pressure disappear?”

“It must be the Battlegod Protector Halo. I heard that it was the great teacher halo that Great Teacher Sun had gained in the Battlegod Canyon after having decrypted those mysterious diagrams and obtaining the Battlegod Catalog!”

“To think that he’s going up against an element king. He’s too strong!”

The spectators were stunned.

Right now, Sun Mo appeared extremely domineering.

“It seems that you’ve grown a lot in the past few years. No wonder you don’t care for me!”

The Wind King smirked. “But you don’t understand how powerful I am!”

“Wind King, do you know why you were sealed?”

Sun Mo asked.

“Hmph!”

The Wind King refused to reply. This was a thorn in its heart.

“There are countless paths in this world. Pursuing extreme power is just one of the many! To you, becoming strong might be the only pursuit. But to me and many great teachers, it is insignificant.

“The meaning of our lives is to inspire every single child, letting them understand their own value so that they do not waste their lives away! We want to let the glow of wisdom shine upon the entire world. Wind King, we don’t just care about ourselves. We have a family! We have a country! We have a world! We also have the whole of humanity!

“Wind King, my goal is the great ocean of stars! I hope that one day, I won’t be the only one becoming a saint and shattering the void. I hope that all the lifeforms in the entire Nine Provinces can possess the ability to break away from the shackles of the world, being able to go take a look at the world beyond the shattered void!”

Sun Mo said fluently.

As a man who had received modern education, as a citizen of a great country, Sun Mo’s perspectives of the world had become very broad a long time ago.

A domineering existence in the east?

The strongest country in the world?

No!

We want more!

The eastern citizens who had been nurtured by the 5,000 years of civilization might fall and get sick, but they’d never stop in their footsteps.

Sun Mo’s disciples and the great teachers nearby fell quiet. The Wind King also fell quiet.

Other than the ordinary people who couldn’t understand Sun Mo’s words, people with wisdom and their own thoughts could understand how lofty and great he was.

From ancient times, many great teachers had only thought about wanting to have many students across the world, becoming saints, attaining immortality, and living as an eternal legend in everyone’s hearts.

They had never thought of the possibility that they could lead the entire Nine Provinces to see the great ocean of stars and to conquer it!

Sun Mo’s words could be said to have opened up a brand new world for them. It opened up their perspectives to an unlimited level.

Wan Xiulin was stunned.

As Secondary Saint Zhou’s disciple, Wan Xiulin had detested Sun Mo from the bottom of his heart. However, his thoughts toward him changed. He felt that Sun Mo was glowing and looked even more like a saint than his teacher!

His teacher’s life goal was to become a saint and also hoped that the disciples under his wings could become great talents. Regardless if they were to become great sword heroes or blade saints, he hoped that they’d be able to spread their fame across the world.

In the past, Wan Xiulin had set this as his goal too. But thinking about it now, so what if they could become a blade saint or a sword hero?

Weren’t they still restricted within the small Nine Provinces?

“Our goal is the great ocean of stars?”

Wan Xiulin mumbled this sentence and then suddenly stood upright, bowing at a 90-degree respectfully toward Sun Mo.

Then, more and more great teachers started to bow. Even the ones on the stands got up with solemn expressions.

In the Nine Provinces, only those who had comprehended the Self-Taught Halo could become great teachers. And as they gained enlightenment to more and more great teacher halos, their thoughts kept on expanding.

A nation’s strength was dependent on martial strength, resources, and its citizens. However, when it boiled down to it, it was still dependent on wisdom.

The great teachers in the Nine Provinces were undoubtedly the most intelligent group of people. Therefore, Sun Mo’s words had given them the greatest blow.

It was because they understood!

A few ancestors on the judges’ stand exchanged a glance and stood up as well. They then bowed toward Sun Mo.

Order of learning wasn’t important! What mattered was the order of achievement!

Sun Mo’s words were worthy of a bow from the ancestors!

“It’s no wonder Sun Mo can teach a genius like Li Ziqi. To think that his perspectives are already so vast at such a young age!”

“This time around, Secondary Saint Zhou has really rammed his toes into a steel board!”

“I’m going to be a fan of Great Teacher Sun from now on!”

The few ancestors whispered amongst themselves.

The gaze of Jiang Zhitong, who was on the spectators’ stand, was in a daze.

His disciple had been eliminated. The reason he came here, even spending an exorbitant price to buy the ticket to a good position from a middleman, was so that he could see how Li Ziqi got trashed by Huang Peng. However, he didn’t expect to see such a scene.

“Father, you’re right. Sun Mo isn’t someone I should offend.”

Jiang Zhitong mumbled. He suddenly understood why his father was in disagreement with him.

A secondary saint had to come down personally to win against someone like Sun Mo!

And they might not necessarily win!

At the very least, Jiang Zhitong had never heard of anyone who had obtained achievements like Sun Mo’s at the age of 23.
