Chapter 331: The Champion of the Golden Core Group

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Divine Heavens Sect's Patriarch Dong Wu's expression darkened. Nobody else knew much about the effectiveness of the sword array apart from him. Within his sect, a few disciples managed to break through to the Soul Formation stage because of it. He was hoping against hope that the other sects would never find out about how effective the sword array was, so that he would be able to keep it away from them. Yet, a disciple from his own sect was spoiling this plan of his.

"Jing Qi, shut up! Stop being disrespectful." Dong Wu attempted to stop Jing Qi from talking. Indeed, his Junior Brother Wu Xiang produced a mess of a disciple.

"Sect Master!" Jing Qi showed no intention to retract his challenge. He turned to fix his gaze on Yi Qing, saying, "His cultivation is similar to mine. If we do not compete, your disciple will not dare to accept the championship title."

Dong Wu became furious, yet he had no reason to ask his disciple to come back down. Yi Qing, whose reaction remained stony from the beginning, stepped forward. Just when everyone expected him to accept the challenge, Yi Qing asked, "What has your inability to accept the championship title got to do with me?"

Jing Qi: "..."

Dong Wu, "..."

Everyone: "..."

That's true – they had nothing to say in reply!

"You..." Jing Qi's face became flushed with anger. All of a sudden, he felt like he was being shamed in front of everyone. "Are you looking down on me?"

Yi Qing paused and replied, "Why should I respect you?" Who are you? I don't even know you.

Jing Qi felt the urge to vomit blood. Even the audience around him was beginning to feel pity for him. Of course, this reply from Yi Qing would cause anyone to feel frustrated.

Seeing that Jing Qi was about to explode from rage, Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and stopped eating her pastry. Eh?

Suddenly, she turned to Yi Qing. "Chef, go and try!"

Yi Qing paused. A moment later, he nodded. "Yes, Master!"

Once he finished speaking, he jumped onto the competition stage. With a wave of his hand, a snow white spirit sword appeared.

Jing Qi's expression hardened. He took in a deep breath to suppress the anger, then laughed mirthlessly. He was finally here. Jing Qi guessed that Yi Qing had already formed his core as well. That was no issue, however. Today, he swore to take revenge on Yi Qing. He would make sure of it.

The two of them said nothing more. They began fighting immediately. There were flashes of light from their swords as they attacked each other rapidly. They were moving so fast that the audience could not make out whose figure was whose. Everyone had to activate their divine perception to see clearly what each of them were doing.

Their sword techniques were frighteningly good. Each of them knew thousands of different moves, but for some reason, both of their techniques looked somewhat similar. Yi Qing's was only a bit sharper. Initially, Jing Qi could hold his own against Yi Qing. After awhile, however, he got tired. There were several times when he failed to dodge Yi Qing's attack, thus allowing Yi Qing's sword to brush against his body. If not for the Dharma clothing he had on, he would likely have lost the competition already.

Jing Qi became more and more anxious. He did not expect Yi Qing to be this skillful. Even though Jing Qi had obtained the inheritance from the Origin-Returning pearl, his skills could not beat Yi Qing's. Was this the kind of sword technique his master had passed down to him? The more he thought about this, the angrier he felt. If not for Yi Qing, Jing Qi would have been able to learn the same amazing sword techniques. Then, he would not have ended up under an ingrate like Wu Xiang!
