Chapter 541 – Martial Arts Theory
Chapter 541: Martial Arts
It took a long time before Xu Chuniang adjusted her mood and put away the tortoise shell diagram.
Regardless of the place recorded on this map, whether or not it was the five northwestern clans, she would find a way to go and take a look!
However, the most important thing at the moment was to raise her cultivation.
Otherwise, going to the Western Dimension would just be a death sentence.
After obtaining the Ximing sea map, Xu Chuniang did not intend to participate in the next Dao Discourse and straight away prepared to leave.
However, not long after stepping out of the courtyard, she was stopped in her tracks by a Zhu Clan cultivator.
“The Dao Discourse hasn’t ended yet, why is the fairy in a hurry to leave? Or does the fairy feel that my Zhu Clan has been negligent?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “I have something that requires me to leave the island early.”
“Fairy has something to leave the island, I shouldn’t have stopped her. It’s just that the island’s teleportation array had some minor glitches today, so I’m afraid that fairy will have to wait for another two days before she can do so.”
The Zhu family cultivator said with an apologetic face.
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, did the transmission array malfunction, such a coincidence?
“The teleportation array has been used too frequently these past two days, and the clan’s array masters are already repairing it.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t say any more, returning back to the Discourse venue.
Regardless of whether the teleportation array was truly broken or fake, the Zhu Clan was surely scheming for something by hosting this Dao Discussion Meeting.
Let’s see what they really want.
Returning to the Dao Theory venue, the trade fair was nearing its end.
Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled delicately on the stage, ”The trade fair is over, next is the martial arts discussion session.
There is no high or low Dao. In yesterday’s literature debate, all of you argued and had your own opinions. In today’s martial arts debate, let’s verify the results of yesterday’s discussion.”
Zhu Qiaoqiao took out a golden talisman seal and presented it in front of everyone’s eyes.
“This is a grade four teleportation talisman, which can teleport a person to any place within a hundred miles after it is activated, saving one’s life in critical moments.”
Once the teleportation talisman was taken out, it attracted the attention of everyone present.
“It’s a teleportation talisman, even if one encounters a YuanYing great demon, with this talisman in hand, one will be able to escape with one’s life.”
“Having a teleportation talisman is the same as having an extra layer of protection.”
Satisfied to see that the entire audience of cultivators were attracted by the teleportation talisman in their hands, Zhu Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile.
“We have to add a little bit of color, right? The first place winner of the Martial Theory will receive this teleportation talisman in my hand. The second place winner of the Martial Theory will receive a top-grade magic weapon.”
Zhu Qiaoqiao said, taking out another top-grade magic weapon and other spiritual objects, showing them to the crowd one by one.
From the first place in the Martial Theory to the top twenty, all of them had different levels of rewards, the worst being a lower-grade magic weapon.
With the many treasures including the teleportation talisman as a prize, many cultivators were rubbing their fists, wanting to stand out in the martial arts debate.
After Zhu Qiaoqiao recounted the rules of the Martial Discourse, she announced the start of the Martial Discourse.
On the original dao platform, several array lights immediately lit up, transforming it into a ring for the martial arts debate.
A tall and thin male cultivator took the lead and jumped onto the ring, cupping his fists towards the four directions as a salute.
“I am not talented, as the 9,700th place on the merit list, I would like to throw out a brick to attract jade, and ask all of you Daoists to give me some guidance.”
As soon as the words fell, a masked female cultivator dressed in a black robe got into the ring and after exchanging pleasantries, she took the lead in launching an attack.
The magic weapon used by the tall and thin male cultivator was an oddly shaped retractor blade, and as it rotated, a spiritual qi stirred out along the tip of the blade.
The masked female cultivator’s stance was ghostly, not retreating but advancing in the face of the knife’s attack, dodging the stirring spiritual qi in the knife while stepping towards the tall and thin male cultivator.
After dodging the attack once again, the female cultivator’s eyes moved slightly, her body swayed, leaving a residual shadow from the original place, and her clean right hand slapped fiercely towards the opposite male cultivator’s chest.
The tall and thin male cultivator sensed that it was not good and was about to retreat, however, as soon as he retreated, the female cultivator’s speed was even faster and she forced her way up, her right palm slapping heavily on his chest.
This seemingly forceless palm of the female cultivator directly sent the male cultivator flying out, and only when he was about to land did he barely stabilize his body and not fall to the ground. After losing the fight in a few moments, the tall and thin male cultivator’s face turned green and white for a while, and after clasping his fists at the stage, he sat back down without saying a word.
Seeing this, the masked female cultivator on the stage smiled faintly, “Thank you.”
Several voices of praise rang out from the stage.
“The Phantom Fairy’s stance is truly extraordinary, an eye-opener for us.”
“To retreat from the enemy so lightly with bare hands and empty fists, the strength of the fairy is truly unfathomable.”
A scholarly-looking cultivator leapt onto the ring after taking several steps in the void, and took out his fan and shook it.
“I’ve admired the Phantom Fairy for a long time, and I’ve long wanted to learn from her, so please be merciful.”
The Phantom Fairy let out a light laugh when she heard this.
“The name of the Iron Fan Scholar is as good as thunder, where is the need for me to show mercy?”
As soon as the words fell, she unleashed her Phantom Steps and attacked towards the scholar.
Iron Fan Scholar secretly frowned, earlier when he was watching the battle under the stage, he could see that this Phantom Shadow Steps was ghostly and subtle.
It was only when he personally experienced it that he realized how difficult it was to deal with.
No matter how he retreated and defended, the other party was able to bully him.
Once he was approached, he was afraid that his fate would be the same as the previous person.
Iron Fan Shu Sheng took a deep breath, a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes as he urged the iron fan in his hand to launch an attack.
Seeing the iron fan in his hand, there was only one fan surface left, and more than ten fan bones flew out one after another, enclosing in mid-air to form a fan shape, heading towards the Phantom Fairy.
Seeing the oncoming fan bone formation, the Phantom Fairy did not dare to be careless.
This Iron Fan Scholar held an iron fan all year round, looking harmless, but in fact, the fan bone array he sent out was extremely shocking in terms of lethality.
The Phantom Fairy didn’t forcefully break through the Fan Bone Formation in front of her, her figure slightly moved and withdrew towards the back.
Seeing that the fan and bone formation had indeed forced the Phantom Fairy to retreat, the Iron Fan Scholar revealed a touch of joy in his eyes, and continued to manipulate the fan and bone to change formation, and pincer attacked towards the Phantom Fairy.
The Phantom Fairy kept retreating and soon retreated to the edge of the ring.
Seeing that there was no way out, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes as she prepared to forcefully break out of the fan bone formation.
A soft sword appeared out of thin air in her hand and attacked towards the fan bones in front of her, quickly picking apart several fan bones.
However, at this moment, the fan bone formation that was about to be scattered changed its formation and reorganized into a new formation, once again surrounding towards her.
However, when the fan bone formation was about to encircle the Phantom Fairy, her figure suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in place.
In the next second, it appeared out of thin air at the side of the Iron Fan Scholar and slapped fiercely towards his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, the crowd under the stage cried out in shock.
“This is …… Phantom Fairy’s famous stance, Phantom Incarnation!”
“This Phantom Incarnation is truly indefensible, the Iron Fan Scholar’s Fan Bone Formation is derived from some sort of sword formation that kills and destroys, I didn’t think that it could actually be broken through by this Phantom Incarnation.”
“The Iron Fan Scholar was careless, or rather, he trusted the Fan Bone Formation too much.”
In the ring, the Iron Fan Scholar, who originally thought that he was winning, was shocked and hastily sidestepped in order to dodge.
However, that plain hand, as if it had calculated all of his escape routes, impartially slapped his right shoulder.
