Fortunately, the two streams of true qi had almost canceled each other out, so it wasn't a serious injury, at most a concussion, but even so, it was still terrifying.
"The Taoist Heavenly Sect's heaven and earth have lost their color, yet they are on par with the snow falling from the sky by a little child. The martial arts world has gained another extraordinary figure!"
Chu Nan Gong looked at Zi Jun, who seemed somewhat flustered.
At this moment, Ziju saw the classmates who had been blasted away and her eyes showed worry.
She hadn't expected that the collision of their true qi would produce such a powerful explosive force, especially since 90% of their qi canceled each other out.
"I didn't mean to!"
"Alright, Ziju, come quickly and help stabilize everyone's blood and qi. Your longevity qi has a wonderful use!"
"Oh, Senior Brother Zi'an!"
Upon hearing this, Zizhong and Zijun, seeing their classmates lying on the ground groaning in pain, rushed forward to help them.
As for Xiaomeng, although she was somewhat aloof and arrogant, and indifferent to the life and death of those Confucian disciples, she did not continue to make a move.
After all, even though Ziju possessed the power of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Pearl, it was still part of the divine sword. Today, in terms of swordsmanship, they are evenly matched.
Besides, the other party is only ten years old.
At eighteen, his level of understanding was at least no lower than hers.
Moreover, the opponent's swordsmanship is somewhat rusty and has not yet reached its peak, leaving great room for improvement.
Meanwhile, Fusu watched as Ziju and Zizhong busied themselves. As for the wondrous uses of the Longevity Qi, Fu Nian and Yan Lu had just cured one person, while the two of them had each cured three others.
This efficiency reminded Fusu of Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to reverse aging and bring the dead back to life.
At only ten years old, he already possesses such abilities; he will surely become another Zhang Xiaoshan in the future.
It was a quarter of an hour later when the injured Confucian disciple (Wang Liao's) had his surging blood and qi suppressed.
For a moment, everyone looked at the two Zhang family boys.
Although they appeared to be out of breath, Fu Nian and the others were actually in no better shape; the fine sweat on their foreheads betrayed their weakness.
Especially considering that the two teenagers had just experienced a fierce battle and had used so much true qi to heal others, they couldn't help but marvel at the profound and pure true qi.
Two more prodigies have emerged from the Zhang family!
"Zijun made a mistake just now, please forgive her, everyone!"
Looking at the apologetic child before them, and compared to the previously aloof and cold Xiaomeng, everyone suddenly felt that Zijun had won this round.
Although Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Xinghun didn't care, Prince Fusu and Duke of Chu were both concerned about the world and naturally preferred the young and 'naive' child.
After all, Xiaomeng's indifference to life shows that:
Just now, Ziju only made a mistake. Xiaomeng didn't care about the lives of everyone, so she acted without any scruples.
Chapter 703 Gai Nie Talks the Secret of Strengthening Divine Weapons
"The Empire has lost this round!"
Although Prince Fusu wanted to turn the tide, he was not a sore loser, especially since he hadn't lost due to a lack of strength.
Even though Xiaomeng glanced at Prince Fusu, she didn't say anything.
She had become indifferent to life and death, let alone winning or losing. In this battle, she only marveled at the extraordinary talent of the Zhang family.
Although she was considered a prodigy back then, she was only skilled in swordsmanship; in reality, she had not even reached the pinnacle of cultivation.
However, any elder of the Heavenly Sect is at the pinnacle of cultivation. How could she, an eight-year-old child, have defeated her? Not every child is a prodigy of the Zhang family!
"Golden Light Sword! Kunwu Sword!"
Having witnessed the splendor of these two peerless divine weapons today, Fusu's trip has been truly worthwhile.
As for Zian? What you said today, I will write to His Majesty, hoping you will achieve something here.”
Zizhong and Zijun are members of the Zhang family, so there is no possibility of recruiting them.
Zian was ostensibly a disciple of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, a person of "clean character," and not only Prince Fusu wanted to recruit him, but Zhao Gao was no exception.
However, they also knew the principle that being in Xiaoshengxianzhuang gave them an advantage!
However, joining Xiaoshengxianzhuang does not conflict with joining the Empire.
After all, Li Si was also a student of Xunzi.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Zi'an, Zizhong, Zijun, come here."
As the three most outstanding performers this time, they naturally received special treatment.
Moreover, with just the strength of the three of them, no one present dared to underestimate them. Therefore, the three followed Fu Nian and accompanied Fu Su on his visit to the back mountain.
It's a pity that I didn't see any of the old masters at Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
However, Fusu did not get his wish in the end. Xun Qing stayed in the library and perfectly avoided everyone's visit, leaving everyone disappointed!
···
"I never expected that the Confucian school would be so full of talented people this time."
The two young men from the Zhang family were one thing, but even the mysterious young man, 620 Zi'an, was stronger than Zhang Han.
Especially since the opponent also possesses the martial arts of armor, and his physical training has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, he should not be underestimated; he is certainly no less than Shao Yu!
Mo Family Base.
Upon hearing the results of today's sword competition, the members of the Mohist school exchanged bewildered glances.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Zizhong and Zijun, another dark horse they had prepared (the theory that a white horse is not a horse) has emerged this time, making it a truly exciting story.
"Moreover, the boy's background is clean; he is indeed a disciple of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets."
Moreover, recent rumors in the martial arts world suggest that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets has retired from public life, which is likely related to this young man's visit to Little Sage Manor.
With such an outstanding disciple emerging from their ranks, they understood the old man's thoughts.
It's the era of the young now. If the old man Tianji, who is nearly eighty years old, continues to roam the martial world, he might just die a violent death in the street one day.
Having found a good successor, there's nothing to regret about retiring from the world.
Moreover, the other granddaughter of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets is also the confidante of Little Li Flying Dagger.
Because of Li Xunhuan's reputation, the young man received special treatment at Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
A family with seven Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations), and three of its members, father and son, achieving the
Although this is a nearly 30-year-old trope, there is no doubt that the glory of "seven Jinshi from one family and three Tanhua from one father and son" is an immortal monument in the Confucian officialdom.
Even Xiaoshengxianzhuang, which claims to be a Confucian "academy of state affairs," has to be given some respect.
"We really underestimated the two young men from the Zhang family!"
I thought the Longevity Technique at its peak was already incredibly terrifying, but I never expected that these two teenagers would also possess such terrifying swordsmanship.
Golden sword energy! Sword energy that swept across the sky like snowflakes!
Among the many swordsmen in the martial arts world, (bjca) can also be considered one of the top swordsmen.
"It's not just the two teenagers who are terrifying, but even the divine weapons they wield are extraordinary."
One sword can unleash golden sword energy, its sharpness unmatched; the other, with its icy chill surpassing even the Yi River's chill, is 'Snowflakes Falling Everywhere,' capable of eclipsing the colors of heaven and earth, and is at least on par with Xiao Gao's 'The Wind Howls and the Yi River is Cold.'
The Zhang family possesses an astonishing number of peerless divine weapons, as if they could be forged at will. Does Mr. Gai know the reason for this?
While everyone else was focused on the three men's strength, Master Xu was more interested in the two divine weapons.
As for the Heavenly Secret Staff of the Fire Stick, the young Zi'an's concealment of his abilities was merely thought by everyone to be nothing more than a sword hidden within a staff, at most a clever device.
After all, the Heavenly Secret Staff, also known as the Ruyi Staff, is another name for it.
"The Zhang family does indeed possess the ability to forge peerless divine weapons, but this ability is unique, relying on the legendary Dragon Ball!"
"Dragon Ball?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gai Nie.
Gai Nie actually knew the Zhang family's secret, but he shook his head at everyone's greed and said:
"Things are not as simple as you think. You could say that even if we got the Dragon Balls, it would be useless!"
Legend has it that each Dragon Ball will generate different strange abilities depending on its owner, and the Dragon Balls currently on the public eye are three belonging to the Golden-Faced Buddha, one to the Zhang family, and one to His Majesty.
The three golden-faced Buddhas, due to their mysterious identity, have no known abilities.
The two pearls belonging to the Zhang family and His Majesty are respectively the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl and the Earth Virtue Dragon Pearl!
"Pure Yang Dragon Ball, Earth Virtue Dragon Ball? Is this the power of the Dragon Balls?"
Gai Nie shook his head and, amidst everyone's curiosity, explained:
"Pure Yang and Earth Virtue are merely attributes of the Dragon Ball, which can unleash the power of Pure Yang and Earth."
The truly extraordinary aspect of the two Dragon Balls lies in what we commonly refer to as merit and dragon energy. I believe you have all heard of the miraculous event at the founding ceremony: the Dragon Balls underwent a transformation, a destiny ordained by heaven!
"Is it true?"
"A single person's word may be false, but under the watchful eyes of millions, it cannot be faked."
Moreover, there were many Taoist and Buddhist masters present at the time, and the sacrificial ceremony was meticulously planned by the Empire, the Zhang family, and the Yin-Yang School, with the aim of using the Empire's dragon energy to promote the evolution of the Dragon Pearl.
"Hiss... It's actually real!"
It caused quite a stir at the time, but because it was too fantastical, many forces viewed it as nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"Does the Imperial Dragon Aura really exist? And can the Dragon Balls truly evolve into even more powerful forms by harnessing this dragon aura?"
"That's right. The Empire's Dragon Pearl has evolved by using the Empire's dragon energy, and therefore has the power to mobilize the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces."
The Zhang family's Dragon Ball evolved through merit, thus possessing the extraordinary ability to mobilize merit.
On that day, Gai accompanied His Majesty and personally witnessed the power of the Zhang family's Dragon Pearl:
A peerless divine weapon, with the help of merit, can be strengthened into an even more powerful weapon, similar to the two divine weapons that Dao Zhi saw today, which can unleash golden sword light and mysterious yin sword energy.
All the divine weapons produced by the Zhang family over the years have been forged in this way.
First, forge a weapon that can cut through iron like mud, then strengthen it with the power of merit into an unparalleled divine weapon, with incomparable power.
However, the most mysterious aspect of the power of merit is that it strengthens divine weapons and also suppresses demonic nature.
However, the effect of suppressing demonic nature varies depending on the amount of merit accumulated.
"Merit?"
As Gai Nie's words became increasingly absurd, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
After all, the concepts of dragon energy and merit are just tricks used by charlatans to deceive people. They are illusory and unrealistic. People who truly believe that doing good deeds will bring good fortune are mistaken.
Even if they don't consider themselves bad people, they don't believe that good people are rewarded.
Not to mention so-called merit.
"That's probably just what the Zhang family is saying to the outside world; it's not that mysterious."
"No, in the past, Gai Nie would not have believed these things either."
But I, Gai, have personally witnessed Young Master Zhang enhance two divine weapons with his merits. One of them is the Dragon Emperor's sword—Tianwen, a legendary sword said to possess the most intense killing intent!
"The Heavenly Question Sword, ranked number one on the famous swords list a hundred years ago? And the Butcher Sword of Lord Wu'an?"
Everyone was shocked; the two swords had attracted their attention.
The Heavenly Question Sword is the number one sword in the sword manual, and is extremely mysterious.
Although the Human Slaughter Sword is not included in the sword manual, it is ten times more terrifying than the demonic sword Shark Tooth.
"Indeed, after the Tianwen Sword was strengthened, its sword energy power increased by at least 30%, and the sword body is more resilient than before."
However, the most significant change was to the Human Slayer Sword.
As Gai just mentioned, merit can suppress demonic nature, not to mention the domineering nature of the Human Slaughter Sword.
After being strengthened, the Man-Slaying Sword, which was originally uncontrollable by anyone, can now be wielded even by the Dragon Emperor, unaffected by its terrifying killing intent.
Hiss...
The Butcher's Sword can actually be wielded by humans? That's the most murderous sword ever made.
