Chapter 76
: Entering the Final Round, His Brilliance is Fully Revealed!
Arena No. 8.
The two stood on the meteorite platform.
Huangfu Jitian, dressed in a three-legged golden crow official robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his inner energy continuously surging from his sleeves.
Gu Lin said calmly:
"Use your cultivation level of the Knowing Destiny Realm."
Huangfu Jitian scrutinized the squad leader, then smiled and nodded.
"it is good."
In an instant, the internal and external energies changed drastically, and true essence poured out.
Countless eyes in the square were fixed on stage number eight.
So you're finally not hiding it anymore?
In fact, everyone had a guess in their hearts that the top ten had probably entered the Knowing Destiny Realm.
This is because they are exceptionally talented. During the Holy Land selection competition, they were already at the sixth level of the Cave Profound Realm, close to the peak of the sixth level. After three months in the Spirit Cleansing Pool, even the most outstanding geniuses can break through three realms in a row. With two more months to go, they will definitely spare no effort to step into the Knowing Destiny Realm.
Huangfu Jitian was surrounded by true energy, faintly containing the aura of the four divine beasts.
The members of the Martial Peak Hall recognized it at a glance, their expressions filled with shock:
"The Earth-Rank Mid-Grade Cultivation Technique, the Four Symbols Annihilation Technique!"
"I actually succeeded in cultivating it!"
"A mid-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique? Where did Huangfu Jitian get contribution points for that?"
However, after a little thought, it became clear that it must be the Huangfu clan of the Martial Peak Holy Land who were temporarily borrowing contribution points, which would amount to at least 50,000!
This is the advantage of having connections; you can repay the debt in three to five years, all for the sake of this grand competition!
Inside the Xie Zhi Pavilion, Xuan Yuan Qin Yin's beautiful face remained completely expressionless.
This kid is doomed to lose.
Why did she make the bet?
She already knew that the top ten must be at the Knowing Fate Realm, and they must have cultivated techniques at the Earth Rank or above.
Below the Knowing Destiny Realm, one relies entirely on internal energy and has no cultivation techniques to support them.
The Knowing Destiny Realm is characterized by strong true essence, with a foundation laid by cultivation techniques.
She herself had gone through this process, so she was well aware of the difference.
The bet stipulated that "she can win one game if she is among the top twelve," which already showed the young man immense respect and showed no sign of contempt.
The first seven arenas were all contested by peak Dongxuan Realm cultivators, but Huangfu Jitian was the only one who opened the restrictions on his cultivation technique, revealing his first level of Zhiming Realm cultivation.
The Huangfu and Sima families were enemies, and Gu Shizhang was irreconcilably at odds with the Sima clan, while he was a friend of the Huangfu clan.
Moreover, he had already become a squad leader in just five months, which was worthy of respect and deserved his utmost effort to make Squad Leader Gu lose willingly.
Gu Lin remained calm and composed. He would not be discouraged by the difference in cultivation level. He had only been formally cultivating for a little over half a year. The longer the time went on, the greater the gap would become between him and his peers.
I cannot afford to lose this match!
The sky was filled with the calls of white cranes.
The area within a radius of eight miles was completely silent.
"Please." Huangfu Jitian uttered a single word with a smile, then rose from the ground, his body slowly covered in black armor plates.
"The Divine Body of Xuanwu!"
All members of the Martial Peak Hall are familiar with this martial skill. It is a low-grade Xuan-level martial skill that is paired with the Four Symbols Annihilation Technique, and it costs seven or eight thousand contribution points.
Most people who have just entered the Knowing Destiny Realm can only practice Yellow-rank martial arts, but Huangfu Jitian has already mastered a low-grade Profound-rank martial arts!
Is it even necessary to continue the competition?
The true essence of the cultivation technique crushes the internal energy!
Xuan-level martial arts techniques completely overwhelm martial arts!
At the other end of the meteorite iron platform, Gu Lin's body was brimming with yang energy, and he unleashed eighteen consecutive palm strikes with overwhelming force.
Huangfu Jitian remained motionless.
Bang!
Each palm strike, accompanied by a dragon's roar, covered Huangfu Jitian's body.
In an instant, Huangfu Jitian felt an extremely powerful aura. His calm face showed a hint of panic as he activated his cultivation technique at an extremely fast speed, unleashing a surge of powerful true energy.
Bang!
Amidst countless horrified gazes, Huangfu Jitian's black armor plates cracked and slowly fell off, causing him to stagger back more than ten steps, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Even the Brahma Battle Body of Platform One couldn't help but cast a glance over.
All members of the Holy Land were overwhelmed with shock.
The internal energy martial arts of the Dongxuan Realm actually clashed with the low-grade Xuan-rank defensive martial arts technique enhanced by the Earth-rank technique!
"This kid is a freak." Xuan Yuanqin's expression was solemn, and she was shocked by Gu Lin's combat power for the first time.
"Squad Leader Gu, it's my turn." Huangfu Jitian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly rushed over, leaving only a blur in his wake.
In mid-air, Huangfu Jitian's arm slowly rotted and turned gray, revealing dense, rugged scales, as if awakening a terrifying aura from its slumber.
"Oracle Bone Dragon Claw, a mid-grade Xuan-level martial skill!" The Martial Peak Hall members recognized it at a glance.
At the same time, Huangfu Jitian's dantian true essence was still erupting, and he was simultaneously driving the Xuanwu divine body, his body covered with layers of tortoise shell.
Many of the eliminated newcomers felt utterly hopeless upon witnessing this scene.
If they were facing Huangfu Jitian, they would already be suffocating under his oppressive aura and would surely submit and admit defeat.
Such an offensive is beyond the ability of someone at the Cave Profound Realm to withstand.
In the blink of an eye, Huangfu Jitian was only ten steps away from Gu Lin, and the ancient and domineering aura of the dragon claw had already enveloped him.
Gu Lin had a sudden thought.
Rumble!
Amidst the shocked gazes of those around him, the figure dressed in a mythical beast robe was enveloped in golden light, with a huge golden swastika appearing above his head. At the same time, chanting Buddhist prayers filled the air, and burning Buddhist lamps flickered in and out of view, completely bathing the figure in Buddhist light.
"Destroy!" Gu Lin's voice was majestic and melodious, like the sudden ringing of an ancient temple bell.
A golden, illusory palm spiraled upwards, then quickly flipped over, heading straight for Huangfu Jitian.
All things in heaven and earth are in our hands; the universe can be reversed in the blink of an eye!
Huangfu Jitian's expression suddenly turned extremely grave, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He poured all his true essence into the Xuanwu Divine Body.
The oracle bone dragon claw strike and the golden illusory palm pressed and covered each other, colliding suddenly.
boom!
The scales on the arched structure are broken, and the ancient, gray aura has vanished completely.
The residual force of the palm strike was still impacting.
click-
The black tortoise shells on Huangfu Jitian's body completely fell off, and a long, continuous force landed heavily on his body, causing him to fall to the ground and break his bones.
He reluctantly got up, ready to fight to the bitter end, but suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Two invisible sword energies pierced deeply into the left and right shoulder bones, causing blood to gush out from both sides.
Despite the intense pain, Huangfu Jitian suddenly revealed a smile, a smile that was both resentful and forlorn.
"I lost." His voice was hoarse.
He was completely unaware of the invisible sword energy.
If Chief Gu had murderous intent, he would already be a corpse.
Huangfu Jitian trembled as he clasped his hands in a fist salute:
"I am completely convinced of my defeat."
The square was deathly silent, so quiet that not a sound could be heard.
The battles on the first four arenas had ended, and the four winners stared intently at arena number eight.
All members of the Holy Land were watching Platform Eight, their hearts filled with turmoil!
He was at the eighth level of the Profound Realm and defeated the Knowing Fate Realm expert head-on.
Using internal energy martial arts to shake true essence martial arts!
Is Huangfu Jitian weak?
No.
This newcomer dressed in a three-headed xiezhi costume is terrifying!
Witnessing this battle where the underdog triumphed over the superior, the Wind Maiden, Flower Maiden, and others were thrilled and their blood boiled with excitement. This was truly the style of Lord Gu!
Inside the Xie Zhi Pavilion.
Lord Yu, his face flushed, slammed his hand on the table and rose to his feet:
"Such a victory against a higher level would be a major event even in the Holy State! The Eastern Temple of Chu State has recruited a fine young man!!"
The households were still in shock when they came to their senses and clapped their hands in praise. This battle made them extremely happy.
This squad leader named Gu Lin is truly impressive. He defeated a Knowing Fate Realm expert head-on at the eighth level of the Cave Profound Realm, bringing honor to the East Temple!
Cao Baihu kept a straight face, trying his best to control his excitement.
We're in the top twelve!
He didn't utter any arrogant words!
His strength is more impressive than his words!
"Lord Yu, it was this humble servant who led the team to the small county to personally recruit them." Commander Cao bowed respectfully, quickly seeking credit.
The man in the purple robe glanced back and nodded in satisfaction.
Xuanyuan Qinyin calmed her shocked emotions, a smile curving her lips, but it quickly turned icy cold as an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
The bet is to win one game after making it into the top twelve.
This kid is already capable of defeating the eighth-ranked player on the Heavenly Ladder!
Xuanyuan Qinyin's fingers twitched intermittently within her sleeves, her heart pounding with tension. If she lost this bet and suffered another great loss, she feared it would take her a year to recover.
She couldn't believe it; this kid could actually defeat a Knowing Fate Realm cultivator with his internal energy martial arts!
.......
Two incense sticks later, the last two battles came to an end.
Apart from Huangfu Jitian, who was eliminated in eighth place, all the other twelve players in the Tongtian Ladder advanced.
Next up is the highlight of the triennial competition!
The previous battles were hardly exciting due to the large gap in strength, but the battle between Squad Leader Gu and Huangfu Jitian was truly astonishing.
But the top twelve are a clash of titans!
A one-hour rest period.
The Governor of Chuzhou announced in public:
"The rules for the top twelve will be the same as in previous years."
"Those ranked first, second, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth on the Heavenly Ladder have advanced to Group A!"
"Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth place finishers on the Heavenly Ladder will be promoted to Group B!"
"Intra-group matches, five matches each."
"In the first match, the first-place team in Group A will face the twelfth-place team, the second-place team in Group A will face the eleventh-place team..."
"The third-place team in Group B will play against the eighth-place team in Group B, the fourth-place team in Group B will play against the seventh-place team in Group B, and the fifth-place team in Group B will play against the sixth-place team in Group B."
As the governor's voice faded, all the members of the sacred land of Luoxia Mountain eagerly awaited the earth-shattering competition in Group A.
Brahma's battle body collides with the embryo of righteousness!
Undoubtedly, Group B has stronger overall strength and more intense competition, but the ranking on the Heavenly Ladder determines the matchup. Group A, on the other hand, boasts two of the most outstanding talents in Chuzhou.
Many members of the Sima clan looked eager to try.
That arrogant and rude fellow replaced Huangfu Jitian and ranked eighth.
And the third is the vertical and horizontal!
The two stood on the meteorite platform.
Huangfu Jitian, dressed in a three-legged golden crow official robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his inner energy continuously surging from his sleeves.
Gu Lin said calmly:
"Use your cultivation level of the Knowing Destiny Realm."
