Chapter 123 – Battle Academy, Lu Chengyan


The method of drawing lots was straightforward; the information of a hundred sects appeared one by one on the record stele.

Then, the golden characters on the stele began to scramble rapidly!

Moments later, Li Guanqi saw the name of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

The Great Xia Sword Sect, versus, the Six Yang Academy!

The moment he saw the Six Yang Academy, Li Guanqi could clearly feel Qin Xian’s fists clenching tightly!

Long Qu spoke softly, “Since the draw is set, let’s begin!”

Buzz!!!

With a single point to the void, Long Qu caused the earth to tremble incessantly!

Everyone was shocked as the previously empty platform suddenly rose with hundreds of arenas!

Each arena seemed to be only ten meters in size, but each was covered with countless runes that flickered, raising towering blue barriers.

At this moment, there were a total of three hundred floating arenas above the three peaks of Tianyu Mountain!

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and a thin layer of dark clouds covered the clear sky, blocking the sunlight.

Long Qu said softly, “In order from top to bottom, disciples of each sect step onto the arena.”

After speaking, Long Qu handed over all matters to his subordinates and stepped out, disappearing into the sky.

Boom! Boom, boom!

Boom! Boom, boom!!

The sound of war drums came from the sky, stirring everyone’s emotions.

The noise from tens of thousands of spectators in the surrounding stands seemed almost enough to overturn the heavens.

Above the sky, streamers fluttered and fireworks roared, mixed with the sound of war drums, presenting a lively scene.

Qin Xian’s voice slowly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

“Six Yang Academy, remember not to let them use the power of their magical treasures!”

Everyone’s expressions turned solemn as they nodded slightly.

Buzz!!

A streak of light pointed towards the location of the Great Xia Sword Sect members, and Qin Xian took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Go!”

Li Guanqi and the others exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Then, with a step, Li Guanqi moved onto the arena with a swift motion!

As he stepped onto the arena, it caused quite a stir!

A youth in white robes carried a huge stone sword box on his back, and his pure white eyes made all the onlookers take a sharp breath.

Amidst the noise, many were discussing him, and tales of his deeds began to spread.

After all, it was rare to see someone on Tianyu Mountain yesterday, wielding a sword and boldly challenging a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator.

Many people seriously said, “Hey, don’t disbelieve, but this youth is preparing to draw his sword for battle once again after shattering the flagstone!”

“You’re just boasting. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly withstand a blow from a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator?”

“Even if he was lucky enough to survive a blow unscathed, he wouldn’t think of fighting the opponent again!”

Such comments were not few. If one had not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have the courage to draw a sword against a Golden Elixir opponent?

However, at this time, Li Guanqi naturally couldn’t hear any of the outside noise.

The arena, which seemed to be only ten meters in size, was actually close to a hundred meters in space due to the miraculous effect of the formation!

Li Guanqi looked at the vast arena and couldn’t help but admire it; such a formation that allowed Shrink the ground to an Inch was truly mystical.

This kind of formation involved the use of space, and probably only a Divine Transformation cultivator like the Northern Heavenly King could achieve it.

As he was pondering these things, a figure in a green robe suddenly appeared in front of Li Guanqi!

The youth had an average face and a tall, somewhat thin figure.

With a slightly flat nose and a scholarly air between his brows and eyes.

The newcomer sized up Li Guanqi and then smiled slightly, “I am Lu Chengyan from the Six Yang Academy.”

“The Great Xia Sword Sect, Li Guanqi.”

Lu Chengyan smiled faintly, holding a folding fan in one hand behind his back and said, “I’ve heard of your deeds. Please show mercy later~”

Li Guanqi let these words go in one ear and out the other.

Anyone who could step onto this arena was no simple character; if they were really going to show mercy, they wouldn’t be standing here.

Insightfully looking around, he noticed that all the arenas were now filled with disciples from the opposing sects.

Moreover, above the sky, numerous hundred-meter screens appeared, displaying the scenes from all the arenas in real-time.

This allowed those who wanted to watch the battles to see more clearly.

Swoosh!

Above the sky, an ancient bronze bell tens of meters in size appeared!

The old man who was previously acquainted with Qin Xian suddenly punched the giant bell, emitting a lofty sound.

Boom!!

“Those who admit defeat on the arena can be moved out. Spar with caution and try not to take lives!”

“Alright, the Hundred Sects Tournament begins now!!”

Buzz!!

All the barriers on the arenas instantly retracted.

Lu Chengyan stepped back instantly, his body erupting with a powerful pressure as he retreated.

Li Guanqi stood there as if he hadn’t reacted, but inside he was surprised by the aura the opponent had unleashed.

Peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage!

“Wow, this ability to conceal one’s power isn’t weak; even I didn’t notice it.”

A sharp light flickered in Lu Chengyan’s eyes, his left hand holding the fan while his right hand flashed with light, revealing an ancient book treasure with only a few pages!

Seeing this, Li Guanqi’s heart stirred slightly, “It seems this is the magical treasure Elder Qin Xian mentioned.”

Lu Chengyan’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and he whispered, “Heh… Fool!”

Buzz!!

A surge of Primordial Energy instantly merged into the ancient book treasure.

The book flipped open to the first page in an instant!

Whoosh!

A purple light instantly imprinted on Lu Chengyan’s forehead!

“One Yang! Open the heavenly eyes!!”

Buzz!!

Suddenly, a purple eye appeared on his forehead!

“Two Yang! Strengthen the Five Senses!!”

A mysterious green light enveloped him.

“Three Yang! Command the Wind!”

The book flipped again, and two green gusts of wind appeared beneath his feet!

Clang!

A three-inch blade sprang from Lu Chengyan’s folding fan!

Lu Chengyan, with a proud expression, had already retreated nearly a hundred meters.

His eyes looking at Li Guanqi were filled with undisguised scorn!

However, Li Guanqi, who had been waiting until now, was somewhat disappointed and said, “Is that it?”

“Can’t you flip the remaining pages too?”

Yet, the scenes on their arena were continuously displayed on a separate screen.

After all, too many people were paying attention to Li Guanqi now.

The onlookers were thrilled to see Lu Chengyan, the top disciple of the Six Yang Academy, facing Li Guanqi.

However, from the beginning, Li Guanqi had allowed the opponent to flip open the ancient book treasure, making many people sweat with anxiety.

Someone couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t this guy too arrogant?”

“You should know that the Six Yang Academy’s strength largely comes from that six-character mantra-like technique!”

“Indeed… Allowing the opponent to flip through three pages of the ancient book, isn’t that too reckless?”

At this moment, Lu Chengyan’s face turned pale, and he flew towards Li Guanqi with the fan-blade in hand!

“Hmph! You arrogant fool, you will pay for your arrogance!”

With the speed granted by the ancient words beneath his feet, he swiftly approached Li Guanqi!
