Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 375 - 219: The First at Core Formation Early Stage, Qi Chuan!
In the void, a faint indigo flying sword slowly retreated.
Then, a burst of dazzling light erupted from the sword’s body, spreading and covering the surrounding area of the flying sword.
When the light dissipated.
Appeared a figure of a clear and handsome young man holding a three-foot azure sword, his whole body wrapped in a shallow Sword Gang. The flying sword in his hand, with its Sword Gang flickering like a tongue of lightning, pierced through the void, emanating a sharp and domineering aura.
It was Qi Chuan who had dissolved the Human-Sword Unity divine technique.
Honestly, this was his first time using the Human-Sword Unity divine technique against an enemy.
Previously at the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, when he fought Wang Tong, he didn’t use it.
Because that time, it was a one-on-one magical combat.
And although there was competition among fellow disciples, there was restraint in their actions, and they wouldn’t go for the kill.
Therefore, Qi Chuan hadn’t directly used the Human-Sword Unity divine technique; instead, he relied on various other Sword Dao divine techniques, probing step by step to see if he could defeat Wang Tong.
And as the facts clearly showed.
Qi Chuan didn’t use the Human-Sword Unity divine technique nor the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique, but merely through the perfect combination of various Sword Dao divine techniques, and taking advantage of Wang Tong’s lack of understanding of his own strength and methods, he had effortlessly defeated Wang Tong.
The Human-Sword Unity divine technique and the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique didn’t even get a chance to be used.
As for the subsequent battle against Yu Yi, it was even simpler. Yu Yi’s strength was inferior to Wang Tong’s, and having already been heavily exhausted from a previous battle, it made Qi Chuan’s victory all the more effortless.
But this time was different.
Firstly, it was an external magical combat, where each saw the other as an enemy with no room for holding back.
Moreover, it was one against two.
Qing Jianzi and Song Dan were by no means weaklings.
To win, speed was essential.
There must be no chance for them to react.
Thus, Qi Chuan acted decisively and swiftly.
He unleashed his full strength and defeated Qing Jianzi and Song Dan in the shortest possible time.
This gave Qi Chuan a clearer understanding of his own strength.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the Three Sects competition, Song Dan would already have been a corpse.
But Qi Chuan had to consider the bigger picture, for the sake of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
This time, he showcased enough strength and potential.
Even if he were to kill Song Dan, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect would most likely protect him.
However, Qi Chuan couldn’t do such a thing.
Because Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had given him tremendous help, and he still had many debts of gratitude to repay.
He couldn’t, for the sake of his killing desires, bring unnecessary troubles to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
Hovering in the void, holding the Cyan Melody Sword, Qi Chuan lifted his eyes to glance at the not-so-distant Song Dan.
Song Dan was still somewhat in shock and lingering fear; seeing Qi Chuan looking towards him, a mix of shame, anger, and fear welled up in his heart, making his face shift between blue, white, and red, unsure of where to place himself.
But now he had already conceded defeat and couldn’t do anything to Qi Chuan.
Therefore, Qi Chuan withdrew his gaze as well, slightly turning his wrist, moving the three-foot azure blade with flashing cold light, while his gaze fell on Qing Jianzi not far to the left.
Seeing Qi Chuan look over, Qing Jianzi didn’t react much.
The petite and thin girl, clutching the battered Flood Dragon Head Greatsword, sighed softly with a bit of helplessness, saying: "I also concede. Qi Chuan, you’ve won."
Before participating in the Three Sects competition, she had envisioned many scenarios.
The best-case scenario was, of course, taking first place in the Core Formation Early Stage.
A little worse would be securing second place.
Qing Jianzi was actually quite confident in her ability.
She felt there was a high probability of being first.
However, she wasn’t overly arrogant and had never assumed that she would definitely take first place, so even if she finally ended up in second place, she could barely accept it.
She had even considered the possibility of ending up in third place.
Yet, she never imagined finding herself in a situation where she and another teamed up to fight one, only to end up terribly defeated while holding the numerical advantage.
It just proves that there is always someone better out there...
"Very well, my task is complete."
Upon hearing Qing Jianzi admitting defeat, Qi Chuan nodded slightly. The Cyan Melody Sword in his hand trembled slightly, then transformed into a beam of sword light, continuously shrinking until it became a streak of brilliance, disappearing into his mouth, returning to his Dantian.
Thus, Qi Chuan’s task was already complete.
This could be considered a red-letter day for Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
The upcoming Core Formation Middle Stage and Core Formation Late Stage competitions were none of his concern.
These would be the responsibility of Qu Xuanlei and Hu Tianying.
Qi Chuan turned and flew towards Zhao Ming and others.
Qing Jianzi and Song Dan, with complex and varied emotions in their hearts, also flew towards the camps of Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion.
Seeing Qing Jianzi and Song Dan returning defeated.
Mu Cangtian and Liu Xi reacted differently.
Mu Cangtian’s face remained indifferent, but deep in his eyes flickered a hint of displeasure.
After all, this was the Three Sects competition.
Qing Jianzi, representing Cangjian Pavilion as a Core Formation Early Stage candidate, represented Cangjian Pavilion in the battle, and both victory and defeat stood for the face of Cangjian Pavilion.
This time, Qing Jianzi failing to secure the first place was one thing, but finishing in such an embarrassing manner not only caused Cangjian Pavilion to lose a lot of face but also brought fame to Qi Chuan and prestige to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
