Chapter 62: The Sword Shakes the Cloud Sect

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

All along, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples had been adept at refining medicine, but when had they ever had such a dazzling performance?

Even Fu Yunzi praised Jian Yuxiang’s performance. “This girl from the Medicine Celestial Valley is not bad. She’s able to comprehend such a technique at such a young age. Her future is limitless.”

“To be able to use the Mystic Water Mantra to this extent is indeed rare.” Daoist Master of Cloud Sect agreed.

Hearing their evaluation, Perfected Dan Yang and Chi Yao were naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Below the stage.

Jian Yuxiang had already returned to the team, winning the praise and cheers of Cheng Xu and the others.

The other matches in the arena also ended one after another. However, compared to Jian Yuxiang’s match, the match seemed a little mediocre.

Soon, it was the third wave of contestants.

Tang Xuan and Miao Changsheng were among them.

Unlike Jian Yuxiang’s performance, Tang Xuan’s performance was more stable. He didn’t have any eye-catching moves, but he won very easily.

On the other hand, Miao Changsheng’s Qi word mantra caused quite a stir. After all, many people present had seen Chi Yao Zhenren’s medicinal mantra with their own eyes.

“Whoa, isn’t this Fellow Daoist Chi Yao’s Qi Word Mantra?”

The Divine Hall Master looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao in surprise.

Chi Yao Zhenren waved his hand and smiled. “The grandmaster’s medicine mantra was created based on the theory of medicine. Changsheng’s talent in refining medicine is not bad. It’s only natural that he gets twice the result with half the effort when comprehending it.”

“With the help of this secret technique, your sect’s future is promising!” The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was envious.

Fu Yunzi was even more curious about the truth of the Medicine Law, “This mantra of the Medicine Celestial Valley is indeed profound. It can actually directly disrupt the circulation of the opponent’s magic power. Back then, I heard from Master that the Medicine Celestial Valley had a powerful spell inheritance. 1 didn’t expect that this inheritance would be able to see the light of day again.”

“Senior Fu Yunzi, you flatter me.” Perfected Dan Yang replied modestly.

“In my opinion, if your sect’s medicinal technique mantra can be comprehended to a certain level, it can probably be compared to the Cloud Sect’s Flying Meteor Sword.” Fu Yunzi said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Dan Yang and Chi Yao couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. “Senior, you must be joking. How can an unorthodox technique like the secret medicine technique be compared to the supreme sword technique of the Cloud Sect?”

Fu Yunzi smiled and didn’t say anything else.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see the extraordinariness and power of the true medicinal technique.

In the arena, although Miao Changsheng had the help of the Qi word mantra, he still had a hard time winning.

In the subsequent matches, the elites of the various sects appeared one after another, causing the entire stadium to cheer.

Yan Changfeng, Liu Qiao, Huyan Zan, and Xue Lingyu truly lived up to their titles as ‘Heaven’s Pride’. They had finished off their opponents cleanly and cleanly in every match, leaving their opponents defenseless.

On the stage, Fu Yunzi was also secretly adjusting the match list according to the players performance to prevent the top players from colliding with each other.

Unknowingly, Cheng Xu also welcomed his next few matches.

With one hand, Dragon Subduing Fist, and the other, Flowing Cloud Steps, they were invincible. They won four consecutive battles, causing heated discussions among the audience.

By the fifth round, no one dared to doubt Cheng Xu’s strength. The elites of the various sects frowned and their hearts were solemn.

“This guy can’t be thinking of relying on these two moves to fight until the end, right?”

“Are you kidding me? When his opponent’s level rises, his two moves would be nothing!”

“Let’s see if that brother from the Cloud Sect can do something.”

“I know that guy. He’s one of the best among the younger generation of the Cloud Sect.”

“That’s good. How can he continue to show off?”

In the arena, Cheng Xu sized up the opponent in front of him with great interest. He had finally met an opponent from the Cloud Sect

This person’s name was Zhou Xing. He had three wins and one loss in the previous four matches and had already advanced to the next round. From his performance in the previous few matches, his strength was not bad.

“I heard that Brother Cheng was once an outer sect disciple of our Cloud Sect. I wonder how your skills have been after you went to the Medicine Celestial Valley?”

“It’s alright.” Cheng Xu laughed. “I’ve long wanted to experience the sword techniques of the Cloud Sect.”

“Is that so?” Zhou Xing’s lips curled into a confident smile. “Today, I’ll let you experience the power of the Cloud Sect’s sword technique!”

As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand hummed, and a sharp sword light flew towards Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu activated his Protective Upstanding Qi and used Flowing Cloud Steps to meet the attack.

It had to be said that the Cloud Sect’s sword technique did have some tricks up its sleeves. The optimized Cloud Steps were somewhat unable to dodge in time, especially after the other party used the second sword technique, which left Cheng Xu with nowhere to hide.

Although the Dragon Subduing Fist was fierce, it was only suitable for close combat, and Zhou Xing’s sword art made it impossible for him to get close.

“Show me your true ability. It’s too unrealistic to think that you can defeat me with just a set of fist techniques and movement techniques!”

As Zhou Xing sneered, the momentum of his sword suddenly changed. Several sword shadows shot out from behind him, aiming for all the vital points on Cheng Xu’s body.

Cheng Xu had no choice but to take out his +5 flying sword.

Clang!

Once the Cloud Sword Art was unleashed, the sword momentum flowed like water, easily dissolving Zhou Xing’s sword shadow attack.

For a moment, everyone on and off the stage exclaimed in surprise.

“Cloud Sword Technique? This guy had actually comprehended the Cloud Sword Scripture!”

“Wasn’t he an outer disciple of the Cloud Sect before? I don’t think he’ll be able to come into contact with sword scriptures, right?”

“It seems to be the sword technique rewarded by the last joint experiential learning.”

“Oh right, 1 almost forgot.”

Unlike the crowd from the other sects, the disciples from the Cloud Sect looked at each other in shock and disbelief.

One had to know that the sword techniques that the Cloud Sect could take out as rewards were basically tough bones. Even if they were rewarded, the disciples of other sects might not be able to master them.

The Cloud Sword Technique was the hardest bone among them. Even within the Cloud Sect, not many people could master it.

“This… How was this possible? Wasn’t it said that the Cloud Sword Technique was very difficult to cultivate?”

“Cheng Xu has actually comprehended the Cloud Sword Technique and seems to be very familiar with it.”

“There’s nothing strange about it. The difficulty of cultivating the Cloud Sword Technique increases with each level.”

“Even if it’s only one level, it’s already very powerful, right? After all, how long has it been since the last joint experiential learning?”

“Speaking of which, was he really just an outer sect disciple before?”

Yan Changfeng frowned and could not help but glance at Hu Jiaojiao beside him. He then looked at the reactions of the other contestants and felt helpless.

From the moment he saw Cheng Xu’s performance at the Jade Pure School, he knew that this day would come.

The more outstanding Cheng Xu’s performance was, the more outsiders would think that the Cloud Sect had no foresight and that there was something wrong with their system.

Not to mention outsiders, even he began to doubt why Cheng Xu was only an outer sect disciple. Because from Cheng Xu’s current performance, he was completely qualified to enter the inner sect.

On the spectator stand, the Taoist Master and the elders of the Cloud Sect were even more embarrassed.

“Tsk tsk, as expected of a former outer sect disciple of the Cloud Sect. Your talent in sword scripture is quite good!” The Shenluo Hall’s Sect Leader teased with a hint of sarcasm, “As far as I know, this Cloud Sword Technique seems to be very difficult to comprehend. Anyway, that kid Yue Yang still hasn’t figured out the way.”

“Wang Xiaolun is the same.” Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, echoed, “1 thought that there was something wrong with the sword technique that Cloud Sect sent me. Now, it seems that the kid is disappointing.”

The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect nodded in agreement. “That girl Han Yue has mastered the first level of the sword scripture, but she’s not as skilled as Cheng Xu.”

Although Fu Yunzi was a little surprised, he did not have much of a reaction. He simply asked about Cheng Xu’s situation.

“Interesting. It’s somewhat similar to my situation.” Fu Yunzi smiled teasingly and inadvertently glanced at the few white-haired elders of the Cloud Sect behind him.

“Little Uncle-Master must be joking. How can this child be compared to you?” Daoist Master Cloud Sect smiled apologetically.

Fu Yunzi smiled but didn’t say anything, but he paid more attention to Cheng Xu.

As for Dan Yang and Chi Yao, they were already overjoyed. They did not say anything and quietly watched Daoist Master Cloud Sect’s reaction.

On the stage, Zhou Xing was similarly shocked.

“I didn’t expect Brother Cheng to have comprehended the Cloud Sword Technique. Unfortunately, the Cloud Sword Technique is only powerful at the fourth and fifth levels.”

After calming down, Zhou Xing no longer held back and used his strongest move.

“I’d like to see if your Cloud Sword Technique can withstand my Waning Moon Sword Technique!”

Zhou Xing’s sword moves changed rapidly, drawing out sword lights that resembled the waning moon in the air. The power of each sword light rose steadily.

Cheng Xu used the first layer of the Cloud Sword Technique to parry a few times, but it was extremely strenuous. He could only use the second layer of the Cloud Sword Technique.

The second level of the Cloud Sword Technique caused an uproar.

Zhou Xing’s pupils constricted. He had no choice but to seize the opportunity to attack and end the battle quickly!

“Heavens, that guy actually comprehended the second level of the Cloud Sword Technique?”

“How is this possible?!”

Everyone from Cloud Sect, both on and off the stage, widened their eyes. They could not believe that Cheng Xu could comprehend the Cloud Sword Technique to the second level.

Even Perfected Luoyue, who hadn’t been optimistic about Cheng Xu, had a hint of surprise flash in her eyes.

Bai Ci’er’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched.

Only Hu Jiaojiao looked like she was going crazy. She found it hard to accept.

At the same time, under Zhou Xing’s rapid attack, Cheng Xu’s sword technique suddenly changed. A sword aura that was like a sea of clouds appeared and broke Zhou Xing’s Waning Moon Sword Technique in an instant.

Then, under Zhou Xing’s incredulous gaze, the sword swept out.

“No. The third level!”

Zhou Xing’s eyes widened in horror. He could not withstand the churning aura of the sea of clouds at all. With a muffled groan, he fell off the stage and staggered for a long time before stabilizing himself. A stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The Cloud Sect finally couldn’t sit still anymore. Even Fu Yunzi’s eyes instantly focused.

“Good boy, this move of the Cloud Sea Ripping is very well-controlled!” Fu Yunzi, who had also mastered the Cloud Sword Technique, could tell at a glance that Cheng Xu’s move, the Churning Clouds, was not as simple as just mastering it.

Then, he looked at Daoist Master of Cloud Sect on the side. His expression had already stiffened. He gritted his teeth and looked at Elder Hu, remaining silent.

To be able to comprehend the Cloud Sword Technique to the third level in such a short period of time, he could completely be called a genius of the sword path.

However, such a disciple had actually been kept in the outer sect by them. In the end, he had even been expelled from the sect because of some small matter.

Previously, when he had learned that Cheng Xu’s talent in alchemy was heaven-defying, he had reluctantly accepted it. After ail, the Cloud Sect did not pay much attention to their ability in alchemy. It was a pity that the Medicine Celestial Valley had picked up on them.

But now, after seeing Cheng Xu cultivate the Cloud Sword Technique to the third level in a short period of time, his mentality really couldn’t take it anymore.

“I say, Cloud Sect, is there a problem with your Cloud Sect recruiting disciples?”

“What?” The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect was puzzled. “How could you throw such an outstanding genius in the Way of the Sword in the outer sect? Or is it that such a level of talent in the Way of the Sword is not enough to catch the attention of the Cloud Sect?”

Taoist Master of Cloud Sect’s face was ashen.

Just as the Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect had said, this was no longer a problem solely with Elder Hu and Hu Jiaojiao. Instead, it was a problem that arose from the source of the recruitment and selection of disciples.

It was his problem as the sect master!
