Chapter 1074
The Mantra of No Thought
"I never imagined... that my potential would be limited by my choices?"
The python gave a bitter smile; it knew it had already lost this battle.
Under the suppression of the Great Compassion Mantra of No Thought, the python needs to transform its entire body into scales and temporarily become a dragon... or at least half a dragon, in order to resist the Great Compassion Mantra of No Thought.
This alone consumed half of the python's spiritual energy. Coupled with its incredibly fast speed, it instantly bit into Da Bei's right arm. This burst of speed only took a few seconds to reach Da Bei and successfully bite down.
In the end, only one-third of its spirituality remained...
however.
Even with the power to transform into a dragon's teeth, the python's spirituality alone probably wouldn't be enough to support him in achieving this. After all, the previous battle had depleted his spiritual energy, and although he had recovered a little in just one hour, he was still not at the point where he could freely unleash his Dharma form.
The python's face showed resentment; it was unwilling to fail in its quest to become a star athlete.
"It's just dragon teeth, I believe I can do that too!"
The python charged again in the direction of Da Bei.
This time, the python's teeth were covered with a layer of golden light, making them appear as if they truly possessed the effect of dragon teeth.
See this scene.
The audience in the stands were immediately shocked, completely unable to believe that the python could comprehend the Dragon Fang in such a short time.
"That's incredible! The python actually mastered dragon transformation in such a short time?"
"And they've already reached the point where they've transformed into dragons with their teeth."
"That's really something. This python must have had some talent, but unfortunately it still met with great misfortune."
"Da Bei's strength is indeed quite impressive. He suppressed the python throughout the entire process. This time, the python actually comprehended the dragon transformation of its teeth, which finally brought some pressure to Da Bei."
"Now that the Great Compassion has been greatly aided, it's probably no longer possible to use the Golden Bell Shield to resist the python's teeth, is it?"
"That's definitely not possible."
"Da Bei's strength is still too great. I wonder how he will deal with it!"
The next second, the python's dragon-like teeth were already biting towards Da Bei's abdomen.
Da Bei clasped his hands together and clapped them again.
at this time.
The entire void trembled, and a powerful suppressive force swept across the entire venue, pressing down on the python.
In an instant, the python's body collapsed to the ground, as if it had been reduced from a dragon to its original form, becoming just an ordinary python with no means of struggling whatsoever.
The entire audience fell silent upon witnessing this scene.
No one could have imagined that the python's hard-won mastery of the Dragon Transformation technique would be so utterly vulnerable in the face of the Great Compassion.
His eyes, still brimming with tears, were filled with great sorrow as he said:
"Your dragon transformation is not bad, but it is far from enough. Although your whole body has been transformed into a dragon, your spiritual energy consumption is still too great. The deficiency in your origin cannot be made up for by skills. Moreover, it is a Buddhist incantation that you cannot resist."
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get past me today. It's a real shame. You've already done so well in terms of technique, but you'll probably have to defeat a few more high-level challengers and encounter different star players before you have any hope of winning this battle."
"I'm really looking forward to your future, to seeing what it'll be like when you're fully transformed into a dragon. Our Buddhist sect used to practice suppressing dragons. Even if you were a dragon, you wouldn't be able to pass the Buddhist sect's test. This experience will probably be incredibly valuable to you!"
His words of profound sorrow silenced the entire audience.
Is this the foundation of a star athlete?
It felt like a complete annihilation, it was simply invincible!
These words alone demonstrate the vast difference between the python and the Great Compassion, they are not even on the same level.
Making such a comment in the tone and manner of a senior is incredibly intimidating.
"Indeed."
The python gritted its teeth. Although it was very reluctant to admit what Da Bei had said, it had to admit that what he said was consistent with its current situation.
The gap is just too big!
Even if one has mastered the dragon transformation, the Buddhist sect's true purpose is to suppress dragons!
Even an ancient dragon could be suppressed by the Great Compassion, let alone a python that only has mastered the basic dragon transformation.
The python struggled again, trying to find another way to exploit the loophole in Da Bei's defenses.
Taking advantage of Da Bei's momentary distraction, the python transformed into a dragon once more. This time, the transformation was almost at its peak, with golden light flowing all over its body. It was clear from this posture that it had burned itself out.
However, Da Bei simply clasped his hands together again, causing the void to tremble. The python's newly erect posture was immediately suppressed, making it look somewhat comical and pathetic.
"Alas, it seems the python will never be able to overcome the great sorrow!"
The audience sighed in dismay.
The python seemed to have some talent, but unfortunately, it encountered great tragedy.
But it was precisely because of this great tragedy, and after being reminded by the other party, that the python truly focused on its complete transformation into a dragon, thus abandoning its highly venomous nature.
In any case, this is a significant improvement for pythons.
"It's completely... over."
The python sighed and retreated dejectedly.
He already knew that his strength was still worlds apart from that of Da Bei.
Moreover, the sect to which the other party belongs is the one that most restrains this kind of direction.
It felt like the venue had arranged it all along.
I don't want to cross the threshold of becoming a star player so easily, and reach the level where I can play in the Star Challenge.
If a slightly weaker star player were to encounter a performance like Python's, they might actually fall for this tactic and succumb to its trap.
But it's clear that the python's performance today was enough; at least it forced Da Bei to use the true essence of Buddhism. It's at least a challenger of some value.
In front of the stands.
Watching the python's defeated figure, the young servant from Qingshan felt a pang of emotion. He glanced at the curator beside him, his face twitching slightly, and said:
"Director, isn't this arrangement a bit too hopeless? I feel like this python has some talent, but it used up all its reserves for this celebrity challenge match. It won't be so easy to fight against other celebrity players later."
For pythons, their advantage lies in their exceptional skill.
But now that all the techniques have been used, the effect of surprise is no longer as good when facing other star players.
Moreover, since this is a challenge match involving star players, and specifically a player of Da Bei's caliber, it's no surprise that this match has garnered attention from those star players.
Seeing that Da Bei had won so easily, the servant in blue couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He knew that this design was definitely meant to prevent the python from passing the trials of the star contestants. After all, Da Bei was considered to be at the top level among the star contestants, so how could a high-level challenger possibly defeat him?
Among the challenges from star players, I can recall that Da Bei has rarely lost, but I haven't paid much attention to his specific record.
After all, as the curator's personal assistant, the young servant in green was originally one of the star players. He had risen from the level of a star player, so if he were to encounter Da Bei, he might not necessarily lose.
But everyone wants to see the rise of ordinary people.
In the eyes of the young servant in blue, the python's performance today was quite impressive, comparable to that of the Great Sorrow.
However, the Great Compassion's strength was simply too great, and it also specifically countered the python's dragon transformation. This meant that the python had almost no way to break through the Great Compassion. Even if it did break through, it would only be an illusion.
The curator stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said:
"The python's current strength is not enough to advance to the challenge of the star players. Although his skills are very strong, his lower limit is also very poor. Although he can win against weaker star players by using tricks, his foundation is ultimately unstable. But this time, he broke through himself and comprehended the full dragon transformation. If he can defeat high-level challengers in the future, he will naturally have a chance to challenge the star players."
“That’s true!” The young servant in the blue robe nodded. “After all, the requirements for star players are very high. Upsets are not easy to happen, let alone in a battle with such a large gap in skill.”
"But this python has made considerable progress through this competition," the curator said. "We can pay more attention to this python in the future. If necessary, we can recruit it as an internal member of the venue to train it, and then see if it has the opportunity to strive for the Star Challenger title."
"Understood." The servant in the blue robe smiled slightly.
He knew that gaining the curator's approval in this way was already quite an achievement.
You have to understand, this is the curator. He has witnessed countless battles of star players and has dealt with countless star players. With his high standards, he would not casually take these star players seriously.
Moreover, the python is only a high-level challenger, so it is already quite rare for it to be valued by the curator.
This proves that the young servant in the blue robe was indeed right.
He did indeed value this python, after all, it still chose to draw its sword despite knowing that it was so much stronger than Da Bei.
That alone proves that the other party possesses considerable courage.
We should always respect those who dare to challenge the strong.
On top of the stands.
Wu Nian and the others also watched this battle.
"This python's skills are truly impressive. I didn't expect it to deliver such a high-quality match. If it weren't for Da Bei's overwhelming strength, it would have been quite a spectacle," Wu Nian commented.
"Yeah, there's no way around it. This Da Bei's strength is probably above mine. None of the star players are easy to deal with!"
Wan Yi shook his head, admitting that he was still some distance from achieving the Great Sorrow.
After all, a python that can stand before the Great Compassion is enough to rival Wan Yi's strength.
Wan Yi believed that his control over his Dharma form was still not as precise as that of a python.
Moreover, the python has mastered the technique of dragon transformation, making it easy for someone like Wan Yi, who plays with runes, to be unable to suppress it.
But anyway.
It's because the python is strong enough that it can stand in front of the star players.
"These fight scenes are really exciting!"
Jiufeng still had a starry-eyed expression, as if she was interested in everything: "It's a pity, the python is still very strong, but it encountered Da Bei."
Chen Ye then began to stroke his chin, deep in thought.
If one were in the position of the python, how would one break free from the constraints of the Buddhist texts of Great Compassion?
While observing the battle, Chen Ye had already incorporated the Great Sorrow into his deduction space.
It took more than half an hour.
"The Dharma form of Great Compassion is indeed difficult to break through. Even my Red Sun Dharma form can probably have a good restraining effect... If I want to break through, it will be very difficult to break through Great Compassion unless I reach the level of Liu Xiuzhen."
With this in mind, Chen Ye entered his own deduction space, intending to see what level he could reach when facing great sorrow.
At this moment, Da Bei stood in the battle arena of the deduction space, his gaze towards Chen Ye filled with sorrow:
"It seems you are the one who created me in this place."
This surprised Chen Ye a little.
Unexpectedly, Da Bei's enlightenment was so profound that he immediately realized that his presence in this place was due to Chen Ye's influence. Through the deduction space, he simulated his complete personality.
For masters, their moves are related to their own personality, so only by simulating the whole thing can one perfectly recreate the fighting skills of the Great Compassion Warrior.
Honestly.
Chen Ye still hadn't expected that his deduction space could reach such a high level. This was thanks to the continuous improvement of his spirituality, which also led to a synchronous increase in his computing power, allowing him to simulate Da Bei's entire personality.
After sparring with Liu Xiuzhen, Chen Ye's understanding of the Dharma has improved dramatically. Therefore, he has the possibility of subconsciously calculating the entire personality of Da Bei, and what it is like.
Therefore, when Chen Ye simulated the Great Compassion, it only took him about half an hour, which was the time it took for the python to fight the Great Compassion, to complete the calculation.
Comparing the two contestants, it is clear that only Da Bei was qualified to be selected by Chen Ye and loaded into the deduction space.
This is a contestant who can rival Liu Xiuzhen!
For now, things are still too difficult for Liu Xiuzhen; however, she could try the Great Tragedy. (End of Chapter)
