Chapter 25 Easy Win



Chapter 25 Easy Win

Outside of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion, a commotion was sparked among the upper house disciples as shock overtook them. The first time when Zhong Yue defeated Shui Lingshan, it could be attributed to luck as he caught may have caught Shui Lingshan off-guard, taking advantage of the fact that Shui Lingshan was unaware of his immense strength.

But the second time, when the second Shui Tu Clan’s disciple controlled his totem god pillar to suppress the strong body strength of the physique refiner, Zhong Yue was still able to defeat the disciple without any difference in difficulty, finishing off the disciple with the same ending as Shui Lingshan, this would then go beyond the realm of simply luck … this was his own ability!

The core members of the Shui Tu Clan were not just profligate scions at all, they were all disciples that had gone through countless battles and withstood the trials and tribulations concomitant with cultivation. Using the totem pillar to restrain Zhong Yue was the most suitable method to counter a physique refiner, this was the optimal stratagem generally agreed upon by the disciples. But a single stomp and Zhong Yue could eradicate the influence of the totem pillar, one could tell only surmise the heights to which his physique and strength had reached!

“You want to fight ten? You are too presumptuous!”

Someone recognized Zhong Yue and said, “This is the Zhong Shan Clan member, no wonder he is so presumptuous! He is a man of arrogance, he once pummelled a Tianfeng Clan senior martial brother with his fists, not only that but he even lambasted the Tianfeng Clan in front of an elder. It’s only been a month since then and his strength has increased this much, even the Shui Tu Clan core disciples couldn’t escape from his fists, I’m afraid that he’s now stronger than most of the upper house disciples!”

From the side, someone whispered, “Does this dude harbor any animosity towards the top ten clans? Why is he always fighting against a member of the top ten clans? First the Tianfeng Clan, now the Shui Tu Clan, then the next time will it be the Tao Lin Clan and Li Shan Clan?”

One of the Li Shan Clan disciples sneered, just when he was about to intervene, he was stopped by another disciple of his clan, the latter shook his head and said, “The Shui Tu Clan and the Li Shan Clan are competitors, we will surely meet with each other two months later in the Lawless Battle, it is a good chance to gather some information about the prowess of our competitors.”

The Li Shan Clan disciple nodded, he took a step back and said, “I thought the upper house disciples are all weaklings, but it seems like there are still quite a number of strong competitors, it’s just the right time to see what are these upper house disciples are capable of!”

Ting Lanyue was carried out of the training room by a few Elder Pu’s disciples, He Chengchuan quickly went over and asked, “Senior martial sister, are you alright?”

“A few broken ribs and some impacts on the internal organs, I consumed a medicinal pellet so I am still surviving.”

Ting Lanyue struggled to get up, she looked at Zhong Yue who was standing at the center of the upper house disciples’ gazes, she thought to herself, Junior Martial Brother Zhong is acting too presumptuous, too dominant and too insolent, I’m afraid he will be overwhelmed by the Shui Tu Clan disciples, but he is just trying to help us……En? Wait a minute, his little lover Shui Qingyan is from the Shui Tu Clan, could it be that he broke up with his little lover and is now trying to release his anger on the Shui Tu Clan disciples?

“Fighting with ten of our clan’s disciples? Who is this arrogant man?”

The core disciples of the Shui Tu Clan was initially watching the incident in a training room of their clan’s Qi Practitioner, the moment Shui Lingshan was carried into the training room, they quickly approach him, even before they could apply any medicinal pellets to Shui Lingshan, the second unfortunate Shui Tu Clan disciples was already pummeled by Zhong Yue.

Right at this time, the words of Zhong Yue reached them, the Shui Tu Clan core disciples were enraged, one after another they stood up and with great killing intent they gazed out of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion.

The core disciples were surely different than the ordinary ones, they are usually descendants of the clan leader or the Qi Practitioners in the clan, their status and identity were far greater than the ordinary disciples, they were ones that could cultivate under a Qi Practitioner and could be said as the elites of the elites among the youths of Shui Tu Clan!

Cultivating under the Qi Practitioners of their clan, among them, which one was a disciple that failed to grasp the true quintessence of the techniques? Without the ability to grasp the true quiddity and teachings, one would have no such qualification to cultivate under a Qi Practitioner!

In addition, the Shui Tu Clan as one of the top ten clans, their core disciples had access to a ready supply of medicinal pellets. With the endless supply of medicinal pellets, even an ordinary disciple can be pushed to the level of a formidable cultivator!

Ordinarily, these disciples felt a sense of superiority and elitism over the upper house disciples, of the mind that the upper house disciples were not getting imparted with the true quintessence of cultivation techniques, that the upper house disciples were weaker than them. Even though their purpose here today was to get a clearer picture of the strengths and prowess of the upper house disciples, deep down in their hearts, they still viewed the upper house disciples in contempt and didn’t really take them seriously.

It was true that when they have reached to the upper house and after just a few rounds of duels, they were able to easily defeat the upper house disciples, up until now they had yet to be met with a formidable opponent; they got increasingly barbaric and unruly.

But right now, the elites of the Shui Tu Clan disciples were challenged, a peasant physique-refiner of the upper house actually dared to challenge ten disciples of the Shui Tu Clan!

“How dare an inconsequential upper house disciple that trains on physique-refining arts have the audacity to act arrogantly in front of us, showing no respect and taking the inner hall elites as tiny little ants … presumptuous, so presumptuous!”

The eyes of one of the female disciples flashed, she stood up and walked out of the training room, her clothes fluttering in the air and her figure like a valiant heroine, she said, “I will elucidate him on the immensity of heaven and earth!”

She had already started visualizing before walking out of the training room, her psyche turned into flowing waters around her body forming cohesive a stream of river water that flowed around her like a soaring dragon and a slithering snake!

“Water Sword Qi, 【Sword Thirteen Styles】!”

The female disciple of the Shui Tu Clan whispered, within the river water appeared Water Sword Qis. one after another, the Sword Qi aligned themselves around her into an exquisite array, she had cast a profound sword skill!

Clearly, she was very cautious, the countless battles she had gone through had empowered her the combat awareness and instilled within her the predilection of not taking her enemies lightly. This prudence was a result of witnessing her two martial siblings face terrible defeats due to their carelessness when facing Zhong Yue. Hence, before she even engaged with Zhong Yue, she had already started visualizing her technique so that she wouldn’t be caught off-guard by Zhong Yue who was ostensibly merely a physique-refiner.

One of the Shui Tu Clan disciples smiled and said, “Senior Martial Sister Shui Sheng is indeed one of the most talented disciples that are regarded highly of by the clan elders, what a cautious disposition she has, this time we will definitely show that upper house brat our strength!”

Before he could finish his words, a dreadful and terrifying air burst out towards the door, a ferocious Jiao Dragon soared in front of the training room and clashed with the female disciple!

The Water Sword Qi 【Sword Thirteen Styles】 and the Jiao Dragon collided into each other, flashes of lightning formed a miniature sun that ensphered the Jiao Dragon. The Jiao Dragon fluttered around towards the river water, with a single flip, the river was torn into pieces and the Water Sword Qi was reduced to mists!

The female disciple let out a shrill scream as she was flipped into the air by the tail of the Jiao Dragon, she flew across the training room and smashed into a wall on the other side!

The wall quivered drastically and crushed rocks crumbled onto the floor, Shui Sheng was embedded into the wall surface with her limbs spreadeagled, the surface of the wall around her fissured as if someone had ornamentally engraved the wall with a cobweb-like mural!

One could intimate the strength of Zhong Yue’s punch!

“Since the Shui Tu Clan is not coming out, then I will come in myself!”

With the Jiao Dragon winding on his body, Zhong Yue walked into the training room, he glanced around, the faces of the Shui Tu Clan disciples were filled with shock and anger while they look at him.

“One, two, three … there are only seven of you?”

Zhong Yue was disappointedly mumbled, “I still thought that I can fight with ten…”

“Arrogant!”

The Shui Tu Clan disciple that was closest to Zhong Yue reacted swiftly, his body darted around and his psyche formed into the totem carvings, behind his back a totem pillar flew up and landed in front of him. The power of the water elemental totem pillar was activated, he shouted, “This is the training room of the Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioners, this is not the place for you to act arrogantly!”

Dong dong dong!

One after another, the other six disciples started to plant their totem pillars onto the ground; they were indeed strong, the totem pillars were placed according to the array of The Plough, enveloping the entire training room under the influence of the god totem pillars, the connections between the carvings of the totem pillars superimposed on top of each other, further augmenting its effects and power to new heights!

One totem pillar was sufficient to bring endless grief to a physique-refiner; the immense water pressure would restrain his movements, while with the overlap of the stacked totem pillars, the water pressure consequently increased ten fold!

The Shui Tu Clan disciples were well aware that Zhong Yue was a physique-refiner, they decisively enacted a countermeasure to offset his biggest advantage so that he would lose the apparent source of his arrogance!

“【Hebo Totem Visualization Art】!”

“River Water Sword Qi!”

“【Wei River Down The Cang Mountain】”

The seven Shui Tu Clan disciples shouted, all of a sudden, the training room was deluged filled with water. River water flowed everywhere, flooding the training room into a world of the amalgamation of the water, Wei River, and the mountain as one, with the river as Sword Qi. - one of the disciples even visualized the God of the River, Hebo!

Zheng——

One after another, the soul weapons made their appearance The Shui Tu Clan disciples even brought out their soul weapons, they were sparing no expense in reclaiming their honor to return all the humiliation Zhong Yue had dealt them before!

Right when the first totem pillar was on the verge of being planted, Zhong Yue moved. Before the first totem pillar was fully activated, the 【Spring Thunder Swords Skill】 burst into flashes of blinding lightning and struck onto the totem pillar. As the totem pillar was planted and the water element totem carvings started to glimmer, a foreboding crack suddenly appeared on the totem pillar after which, it broke in half.

Split seconds after, the other six totem pillars were planted onto the ground, The Plough array formation was destroyed before it was completed!

“【Horizontal Thunder Control】!”

Zhong Yue leap into the air from below and dodged the soul weapons agilely like an elusive lightning flash.

The soul weapons changed direction drastically in mid-air and in great haste they slashed towards Zhong Yue. One of the Shui Tu Clan disciples shouted, “Surround him with the soul weapons, he will have nowhere to run!”

Ka-cha!

A sudden flash of lightning along with a deafening thunderclap, the Shui Tu Clan disciple was struck into the air by the thunder. While his stiff body was still in mid-air, a dragon claw appeared out of nowhere and slammed down onto him, shaking the ground of the training room which formed a human shape hole!

“【Million Miles The Dragon Soars】!”

Zhong Yue crossed the sky and appeared on the other side of the training room, even the soul weapons in mid-air couldn’t catch up to his speed. The soul weapons were indeed a great threat - how could his blood and flesh body compete against weapons like these? Thankfully his speed was fast; the formidability and strength of a weapon are irrelevant in the face of absolute speed!

“【Twin Dragons Strive】!”

The whistles of the dragons resounded throughout the room and another Jiao Dragon appeared behind Zhong Yue, the two Twin Dragons each wound around half of his body and suddenly, the two Jiao Dragons fiercely bit on two disciples and pushed them towards each other in the middle, the two disciples rammed into each other and they instantly fainted.

Outside of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion, hundreds of upper house disciples gazed at the training room of Shui Tu Clan, they could see that the room was inundated with water waves and dominated by the strobe-like flashes of lightning. They could hear a conglomeration of various sounds - the whistles of dragons, the torrential roar of the water currents and the ramming sounds from the collisions of bodies.

Moments later, the water waves disappeared, the thunderous sound and dragon whistles also slowly faded to silence, and the training room once again returned to tranquility.

Zhong Yue walked out of the ragged and dilapidated training room, he patted his animal leather clothes, shook his head and lamented, “Only eight…”

Someone glimpsed into the training room only to be met with a scene that appeared as if it was razed by a hurricane, with the eight Shui Tu Clan disciples lifelessly strewn across the floor.

In such a short while, the eight Shui Tu Clan core disciples were defeated!
