Chapter 1416 - Chapter 1416 Chapter 695 The Grandmasters Bet

Chapter 1416: Chapter 695: The Grandmaster’s Bet Chapter 1416: Chapter 695: The Grandmaster’s Bet Tang Luo’s long hair fluttered as his hands encircled six spiritual beads, his whole body exuding an oppressive aura.

His left hand flipped downwards, palm facing the ground, as the three beads–black, white, and yellow–flew out from his wrist, spinning in a pinwheel formation above his left palm.

A dread-inducing power disturbed the space, and with the movement of the spiritual beads, the spiritual power within the domain became increasingly violent.

The flow of Spiritual Power quickened, the domain becoming ever more unstable; the interaction of the Three Elemental Spirits of Earth made Tang Luo’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably. If he had been able to resist the directed “Spirit Roaring Technique” by disrupting the Three Elements’ balance, now he was completely at a loss. The nodes available for Tong Wuxie to trigger the explosion were simply too numerous and indistinct.

If Tong Wuxie were to truly unleash his full power, Tang Luo could only protect himself with a vortex spiritual technique and attempt a swift breakout. However, whether he could actually escape depended on whether he could break through the continuously expanding Spirit Roaring zone.

‘About seventy percent chance,’ Tang Luo thought to himself, his arms ready to push open the door beneath the cover of the Eight Treasure Kasaya; the moment the Wuji Grandmaster made a move, he would retreat out of the domain.

Such a diligent sense of dread could not be concealed from a powerhouse like Tong Wuxie, especially since Tang Luo was still within the highly active spiritual power field of the domain.

Feeling that the display of power had been sufficiently impressive, Wuji Grandmaster Tong Wuxie spoke indifferently, “The Spirit Roaring Technique just now was merely an application of the Earth Spirit’s Three Elements. There are still the Heavenly Three Elements!”

As his words fell, Tong Wuxie raised his right arm leisurely, and the three Heavenly Elemental spiritual beads rose and circled, the power of the Solar Red Pill, the Lunar Blue Bead, and the Tian He Yellow Bead intertwined. They breathed out endless dark clouds that connected to the sky, where thunder raged and lightning flashed incessantly. The roaming thunder from the Nine Heavens, as if summoned by something, gathered one after another. Suddenly, a massive thundercloud storm materialized, turning the previously clear skies of Diancang Mountain into a cage of thunder.

And among the clouds resonated not just ordinary thunder, but the divine thunder unique to the Nine Heavens, each bolt capable of exceeding the destructive power of a profound-level Spirit Art.

“The Spirit Roaring Technique is swift and fierce; the Heavenly Punishment Technique is unbreakable.”

With his long hair billowing, his left hand touching the earth, and his right hand pointing to the heavens, Tong Wuxie looked down at Tang Luo and said with a deep voice, “Since you can see, you should understand the value of these two supreme techniques. If you are willing to take me as your mentor, I will certainly impart these invincible divine abilities to you!”

Tang Luo remained silent, not because he was tempted by Tong Wuxie’s two supreme techniques, but because he was contemplating how to tactfully refuse.

The martial arts thrived for a thousand years in Xiehe, with countless practitioners, so it was not surprising to encounter a few particularly monstrous talents.

Yet what Tong Wuxie had displayed still gave him a shock.

As the saying goes, ‘from a single leaf one can see the coming of autumn.’ As an experienced martial arts researcher, Tang Luo could see not only the combat potential of the six spiritual beads but also glimpse the direction of Tong Wuxie’s martial research.

No, to speak of martial research might be to underestimate this Grandmaster.

What he was doing now was using those eyes that could perceive spiritual power to deconstruct it, exploring the origin of Spiritual Power.

If the Spirit Roaring Technique was simply a high-level application of spiritual power, then the Heavenly Punishment Technique had risen to another level.

Deconstructing divine thunder to its basic units–namely the elements of Solar, Lunar, and Tian He–and condensing the purest Three Elements to the third degree of qualitative change meant Tong Wuxie could transform into any form of divine thunder, and likewise, deconstruct all divine thunder (making him essentially immune to thunder-art techniques).

Just from these two techniques, Tong Wuxie’s previous assertion “Human King, Saint Lord, you are nothing more than this” did not seem like an empty boast.

Exploring the origin of spiritual power is inherently the shortest path to the truth. Tong Wuxie, who had completed the deconstruction of thunder’s origin, could be considered the master of thunder. And beyond that, there were still Yin, Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The only thing likely to limit this Wuji Grandmaster from getting stronger was probably his lifespan–who would want to confront such a monstrous being?

But circumstances were pressing, not allowing him to lower his head.

Even though he was intimidated, Tang Luo still held his head high with disdain, saying, “Strong as the Spirit Roaring Technique and the Heavenly Punishment Technique may be, they are of no interest to me. For I am only interested in the way of the physical arts!”

“Physical arts?”

Tong Wuxie let out a scoffing laugh, “Even the sects and sacred lands that rose through physical arts are now turning towards the study of Spirit Arts. Even those born with spiritual bodies should not become so engrossed in physical arts that they neglect the cultivation of Spirit Arts. That would be going against the current.”

“To follow or go against the current is but a theory for cowards.”

Tang Luo spoke dismissively, “In Xiehe, there are myriad spiritual methods and millions of divine abilities from every heaven. I alone shall shatter them with my strength!”

“What ambition! But focusing solely on physical arts does not mean you have to completely abandon the study of Spirit Arts.”

When it comes to the direction of cultivation, individual will is paramount above all other factors.

Some people may have astonishing talent for the application of Fire Elemental Spiritual Power, yet they prefer to cultivate Thunder Arts.

Others may have strong talent in swordsmanship but prefer training with a spear. It’s like love at first sight; no one can control it.

So when he heard Tang Luo say that he wanted to focus on physical arts, Tong Wuxie felt helpless. Forcing a bull to drink water is a big taboo in martial arts.

Many martial artists, coerced into cultivating in a certain direction, eventually reached a level where they could not reconcile with their true selves and thus halted their progress.

As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Tong Wuxie naturally understood such principles very clearly.

It pained him to encounter a youth with similar potential to his own, who had mistakenly wandered down the path of physical arts.

With a sigh, dispersing the thunderous din and the incessant vibrations of the domain, the helpless Tong Wuxie could only try to persuade with earnest sincerity, “You possess an unparalleled talent in Spirit Arts, evident even from that Starshifting divine technique. It truly is a waste for you to abandon Spirit Art studies for the physical arts.”
