“Seek Tao Sect, Lu Yang.”

“Five Elements Sect, Bai Ming.”

Bai Ming was on high alert. He noticed the change in his master’s expression in the stands, but the match was not stopped.

This indicated that Lu Yang in front of him was defying common sense, but he was not breaking any rules or cheating.

This was terrifying.

Whoosh—

The sound of a long spear cutting through the air marked the beginning of the battle.

Bai Ming held a silver spear that shone brilliantly under the sun.

He was the first to attack Lu Yang. Lu Yang calmly responded, sidestepping to the right. His Qingfeng Sword slid along the spear, sparks flying.

The momentum of the Qingfeng Sword did not decrease. It followed the spear and slashed towards Bai Ming’s hands. Bai Ming flicked his wrist, the spear vibrated, shaking off the attack of the Qingfeng Sword.

Sword light rained down like a river, rolling and continuous. The long spear was fierce and bold, not fearing Lu Yang’s swordsmanship, choosing to clash head-on.

The sword and spear clashed, victory and defeat were decided in an instant. The spectators were dazzled. The disciples of the Five Elements Sect were shocked. They had never seen anyone of the same level who could fight evenly with Brother Bai Ming in a weapon battle.

“A draw?” Meng Jingzhou sneered after hearing this. Lu Yang had been responding with the most basic sword moves from the beginning. It was just that the connection between the basic sword moves was too smooth, and the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Five Elements Sect didn’t notice it.

Meng Jingzhou was most aware of the power of Lu Yang’s swordsmanship. So far, Lu Yang hadn’t even used his swordsmanship.

Lu Yang rarely drew his sword, but that didn’t mean his swordsmanship was not strong. As a sword spiritual root, how could his swordsmanship not be strong?

Tao Yaoye was staring at Lu Yang on the field, thinking about another problem.

When Lu Yang was learning the “Tree Planting Technique”, she was by his side. She clearly remembered that the distance between Lu Yang and the plant man clone was only twenty meters.

But the distance between Lu Yang in the stands and Lu Yang on the martial arts field was far more than twenty meters.

What Tao Yaoye didn’t know was that after Lu Yang defeated the tiger demon, he obtained a spell to command ghost servants. However, after learning it, it turned into a soul out-of-body technique.

After Lu Yang obtained the Bodhi tree clone, his soul left his body and entered the plant man. This way, he didn’t have to worry about the distance between his body and the clone.

In other words, Lu Yang’s soul was now on the martial arts field, and Lu Yang in the stands was completely controlled by the Immortal Maiden.

On the martial arts field, Lu Yang seized the opportunity, flipped over, his body spun in the air, his right leg raised high, concentrating all his strength on his right foot, stepping on the head of the silver spear. Bai Ming tried to pull out the spear, but Lu Yang’s body was like a mountain, pressing heavily on the spear.

The Qingfeng Sword drew an arc in the air, breaking the sound barrier, and pointed directly at Bai Ming!

There was a gasp from the audience, but soon a disciple of the Five Elements Sect reacted calmly: “Don’t panic, don’t forget that Brother Bai Ming’s strength lies in the Five Elements spells, and his spear technique is just a distraction!”

Bai Ming let go, gave up the spear, quickly retreated, and formed a seal with one hand. A large earth snake rolled on the ground and emerged from the ground.

The martial arts field was not paved with bricks, but with special yellow soil as the main material, fixed by formations.

“It’s the Earth Dragon from the Five Elements spells!” Long Xiang of the Five Elements Sect exclaimed.

The dragon form has a special meaning in the cultivation world. At this stage, Bai Ming could only turn earth into a snake, not a dragon. Even so, it was not something that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily summon an earth snake!

Lu Yang seemed to ignore it, softly chanting two words, passing through the earth dragon.

“Shrink Ground.”

Bai Ming’s pupils shrank slightly. What kind of spell was this? A Five Elements spell?

He didn’t expect Lu Yang to also use Five Elements spells, and it was the extremely difficult to learn Earth Escape Technique in the Five Elements spells!

Even he had only learned a little about the Earth Escape Technique and had not really mastered it!

Could it be that the other party’s talent for spells was even higher than his own?!

How could this be possible? He was a Five Elements Immortal Body just like the founder of the Five Elements Sect! He was naturally proficient in the principles of the Five Elements spells!

Qiu Jin’an was moved when he saw this scene: “No, this is not the Earth Escape Technique!”

He knew best what the Five Elements spells were and how to cast them. The spell Lu Yang cast did not match any of the ones he knew.

Another completely new spell?!

“How was this created?” Qiu Jin’an turned to ask the Immortal Maiden.

The Immortal Maiden was expressionless: “He learned it when he was studying the Shrink Ground into Inches.”

“Huh?”

Qiu Jin’an didn’t understand. Were these two spells related?

At this moment, the situation on the field changed again. Bai Ming switched from defense to offense, his hand forming a seal, and the aura of the Golden Wu Killing Spell condensed on the field.

Dozens of small knives flew out from his bosom, allowing him to manipulate them.

“It’s the Gold Control Technique!” Fang Hao of the Five Elements Sect shouted out the name of this spell.

The Gold Control Technique could manipulate all metal materials. If cultivated to a high level, even the opponent’s magical instruments could be manipulated, which was terrifying.

At present, Bai Ming could only manipulate his own magical treasures, which was similar to the Object Control Technique, but more focused on combat.

Dozens of small knives, like deadly weapons, surged from all directions, all aimed at Lu Yang’s vital parts!

Facing the unavoidable attack, Lu Yang took out a Golden Light Talisman, stuck it on his body, and his body emitted a strong light, forming a protective golden light.

This was the Golden Light Talisman that he bought when he returned to the Seek Tao Sect from Yanjiang County. At that time, Dai Bufan rewarded Lu Yang with three thousand contribution points.

The small knives collided with Lu Yang’s body and were directly bounced off.

Bai Ming sneered: “Heh, it’s just a talisman. It has a limit on the number of uses and time. It’s just a minor trick. How many times can you block it?”

After hearing this, Lu Yang peeled off the Golden Light Talisman.

Bai Ming continued to sneer: “Giving up resistance…”

Lu Yang put on the Golden Light Talisman, his body burst out with golden light, then peeled it off and put it on again, repeating this process. The light kept changing, the contrast was too great, and Bai Ming was almost blinded.

Bai Ming had never thought that the Golden Light Talisman could be used in this way.

He had never encountered such a situation before. His eyelids instinctively wanted to close, but he realized that if he closed his eyes now, he would inevitably be attacked by Lu Yang. He struggled to resist his body’s instinct, squinting his eyes.

Just as he was struggling against his instinct, Lu Yang burrowed into the ground and suddenly emerged from beneath Bai Ming, delivering a solid punch to Bai Ming’s chin, knocking out a tooth!

“Golden Crow Flame!” Bai Ming used his strongest attack, aiming for a decisive victory.

The crimson-gold flames raged, and faint cries of the golden crow could be heard from within the flames. The heat of the fire was so intense that the temperature in the entire martial arts arena rose by more than twenty degrees in an instant, and everyone in the audience could feel the oncoming flames!

The one who reacted most intensely to the Golden Crow Flame was Long Xiang, who had a water spirit root. Since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible. The appearance of the Golden Crow Flame gave him a sense of oppression, and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body slowed down a bit.

“So this is the Golden Crow Flame that established Senior Brother Bai as the number one person in the Foundation Establishment stage. It’s indeed powerful!”

“I heard the sect master say that Senior Brother Bai’s Golden Crow Flame is transforming into a higher-level Sun True Fire. When Senior Brother Bai forms his Golden Elixir, the Golden Crow Flame will successfully transform into Sun True Fire. Having True Fire right after entering the Golden Elixir stage is terrifying!”

Long Xiang turned his head and saw that Li Haoran, who had a fire spirit root, didn’t seem worried about Lu Yang at all. This was surprising, as he, being a fire spirit root, should understand the terror of the Golden Crow Flame the most.

“Aren’t you worried about Lu Yang?”

Li Haoran smiled, answering a question with a question: “Senior Brother Lu once asked me to refine a flying chariot. We worked together for three days and finally achieved results.”

“And during the refining process, Senior Brother Lu was always responsible for providing the flames. Do you know what kind of fire that was?”

“What kind of fire?”

“Triple Mysterious True Fire.”

On the martial arts arena, Bai Ming, who was confident of victory, suddenly felt a sense of unease. But the Golden Crow Flame blocked his line of sight, making it impossible to see Lu Yang’s movements.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He felt a more intense and domineering flame coming from Lu Yang’s direction.

This feeling… it was True Fire!
