Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 288 Celebration
The force of the attack sent stone fragments flying, grazing Zhao Chengshen's cheek and leaving a long, thin gash.

Zhao Chengshen lay on the ground, looking at Pei Xia's face, which was an arm's length away, his eyes filled with doubt, fear and confusion.

Even if Pei Xia makes no further moves, he has completely lost the ability to retaliate.

The outcome is self-evident.

The moment he heard the referee announce the winner, Huang Bing's old face almost broke into a wide grin.

He looked at Mei Changqing beside him and said, "Oh, Senior Sister Mei, your sect is so generous. You've given us more than just a few moves."

Mei Changqing remained silent.

She couldn't hear Huang Bing's sarcasm at all; her old eyes were fixed on Pei Xia on the stage.

Xuan Yishan is skilled in the Colorful Robe Technique, so his insight in this area is naturally extraordinary.

Mei Changqing understood clearly that Pei Xia's victory was not due to his cultivation or magical artifacts, but rather to his overwhelming superiority over Zhao Chengshen in terms of physique and spiritual energy.

Not to mention that Zhao Cheng is a level higher than him, how could Pei Xia easily surpass his physique and spiritual energy, which he has painstakingly honed over many years?
If this child didn't have some special opportunity, then he must have been born with exceptional talent in this area.

"Huang Bing..." Mei Changqing slowly began, "I find this disciple of yours acceptable. Why don't you become my disciple and become my personal disciple?"

Huang Bing chuckled insincerely, "I can't make decisions for him."

Unlike Huang Bing, Mei Changqing's direct disciples are from Xuanyi Mountain. There are two Transformation Realm experts there. As a Supreme Elder, Mei Changqing doesn't need to manage the sect's mundane affairs and spends most of his time cultivating in seclusion.

If she takes on a personal disciple, she won't need someone like Li Qi who is skilled in practical matters and can manage relationships with superiors and subordinates.

She was only attracted to Pei Xia's talent.

Huang Bing wasn't stupid; if Mei Changqing could see it, he naturally could too.

Turning his gaze to the tall, slender figure in elder's robes on the martial arts stage, Huang Bing was already meticulously listing Pei Xia's unique characteristics one by one.

Ji Shaofu mentioned that his swordsmanship was extraordinary, and his sword light was so fast that Meng Xiao didn't even have time to react.

Right now, the physical strength and spiritual power he is displaying far surpass the Colorful Robe Skill that he has painstakingly cultivated for many years.

If we calculate it this way, Pei Xia has achieved far greater mastery than ordinary people in terms of physique, spiritual energy, and sword energy in the three realms of Transformation, Vibration, and Profound Understanding.

Judging from his abundant spiritual power and the fact that he never showed any signs of fatigue, his inner cauldron must also be top-tier.

Huang Bing watched this with a sense of awe. He had met some disciples of the senior Tian Shi in his early years, but he had never seen such an exaggerated existence.

Then think about Xia Qingque of the Xuange Sword Mansion... Could it be that he is really looking down on things in the East Continent, and that the cultivators of the outer continents have become this strong?
The outcome was decided, and Pei Xia and Zhao Chengshen had no real grudges. Pei Xia even helped him up when he got up.

Seeing his dazed expression, Pei Xia reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't ruin your future in a competition."

future.

Zhao Chengshen refocused his gaze and gave Pei Xia a deep look.

Don't mention any Dao heart; that's something you have to face when you're trying to prove your Dao. For Zhao Chengshen, his future is the most important thing.

It doesn't matter if I can't beat Pei Xia, it's enough if I can beat those people in the sect. As for whether the Colorful Robe Skill I've practiced for so many years is right or wrong, let someone like Mei Changqing consider that.

The cheers from the audience were so loud they made your ears itch.

When Pei Xia defeated Liu Yun in the sect's internal competition, some people felt that his victory was not honorable.

But when it comes to foreign wars, as long as they can win, everyone will selectively forget, and if they keep winning, everyone will have permanent amnesia.

When Pei Xia returned to the stands, everyone's eyes were clearly focused on him.

It is already very difficult for Tongxuan Sheng to open his own residence.

But Pei Xia not only won, she won so decisively...

In the end, Huang Bing stood up, blocking the view of the other three factions. He didn't ask Pei Xia anything, but just nodded to him: "Thank you for your hard work."

Pei Xia cupped his hands in greeting: "I have not failed you."

Following Pei Xia, the competition took place between Nine-Section Valley and Purple Cliff Eleven Caves. The best-of-three series between Long Whale Sect and Xuanyi Mountain had come to an end. No one expected that Long Whale Sect, which had been ranked fourth for thousands of years, would finally triumph on the first day of this year's competition. There were many matches on the first day, and clean and decisive battles like those between Xia Xuan and Pei Xia were rare. With higher cultivation levels, each fighter had more methods, and the battles often ended in stalemates. They frequently tested and pulled at each other, and there were even instances where the fighter trapped the opponent while waiting for their own spiritual energy to recover.

The longest fight lasted an hour.

The four-faction martial arts competition finally ended when the sun set, and ten winners were determined.

According to the schedule, the next period will be five days of rest and recuperation.

For the cultivators who had fought a hard battle, this relaxed arrangement was good news. Only Pei Xia and Xia Xuan felt it was troublesome.

I wish I could finish playing them all today.

Pei Xia originally planned to go straight back to her cave, but Huang Bing grabbed her clothes before she left. The sect leader said with a smile, "No rush, we'll celebrate your and Shao Fu's success tonight."

Although it was called a celebration, in reality, of the five cultivators from the Long Whale Sect, apart from Pei Xia and Ji Shaofu who narrowly won, the other three had already been defeated.

But Huang Bing was overjoyed; winning two out of three games and defeating Xuanyi Mountain was a tremendous victory.

As night fell, Li Qi set up a long table in the side hall of the main peak. Apart from Huang Bing, all the elders from the various peaks of the sect were present—except for Yang Xuzhong. After drinking and getting heated, the usually serious and composed elders started to slur their words.

At the banquet, these people were no different from the shirtless drunkards in the countryside.

Huang Bing's cheeks were slightly flushed. He used to be a man with a good capacity for alcohol, but after his spirit was injured, he took great care of his health in order to live as long as possible, so he gave up drinking.

Today is the first time I've drunk again.

He looked at Ji Shaofu with deep emotion. This girl, whom he had picked up from the river and treated like his own daughter, had become a pillar that could bring glory to the sect. It was gratifying to have a daughter in his family.

"Shaofu, drink less. Today's victory was hard-won. Take a good rest these next few days. Find some time to go to the sect's treasury. If you see any magical artifacts you like, feel free to take them."

Huang Bing's words, spoken with such heroic spirit, made Pei Xia, who was standing next to him, stare in disbelief.

Is there such a good thing?

Soon, Huang Bing's gaze fell on Pei Xia, and his expression became even more solemn: "Pei Xia, you are even more remarkable. You won the competition for the sect with your profound cultivation. I have thought it over. I will not interfere with your relationship with Shao Fu anymore. No one can stop me!"

"..." Pei Xia rolled her eyes silently, holding the wine pot.

You might as well give me two magic weapons.

However, this was the first time Ji Shaofu had ever heard Huang Bing say such a thing.

The female elder's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

However, when she secretly glanced at Pei Xia beside her, she saw that he looked normal, neither shy nor excited, and the light in his eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly.

When Chai Yun died, she always felt that Pei Xia was willing to offend the Minister of the Court for her sake, so she had almost revealed her feelings outside the main hall.

However, during this time, Pei Xia never took the initiative to get close to her, which made Ji Shaofu feel a little sad.

Seeing his incredible prowess in today's competition, perhaps it is the inheritance of Heavenly Sense. Can he really be impressed by me, an elder of the Long Whale Sect?

All that had happened before—the long journey to escort him home, the furious killing of Chai Yun—could it all have been just me overthinking things...?

The daughter was initially somewhat melancholy, but the overwhelming joy of the banquet quickly dispelled these feelings.

With Pei Xia's help, the Netherworld Flower was able to safely return to the Long Whale Gate, Huang Bing was able to recover, and he was able to drink heartily here.

With Pei Xia's help, we can only defeat Xuanyi Mountain today with a best-of-three series. Only then can these elders who watched Ji Shaofu grow up be as happy as they are now.

His presence alone is already a great fortune for the Long Whale Clan.

As for the rest... they're all fine.

Ji Shaofu smiled, lowered her head slightly, held the wine cup in both hands, and took a sip.

It's so spicy!
