My Master Knows It All-Chapter 519 - 1814: The Grand Preceptor Goes to the Sea_4

"Cao Zhen, Peak Master Cao is only at Core Formation?"

"Core Formation Stage, yet he managed to defeat so many Golden Cores, this..."

"Exotic Pill, do you remember the Exotic Pill he released during the battle? His Divine Skills were all channeled through that Exotic Pill; his power comes from it."

"Indeed, that Exotic Pill resembles a Golden Core but is certainly not one. I have never seen such an Exotic Pill before."

"Not to mention seeing it, I have never even heard of such an Exotic Pill."

"So, the reason he could be that strong is entirely because of that Exotic Pill."

"That Exotic Pill is likely a treasure from his past life. After his reincarnation, he immediately found it."

"It must be so, otherwise a Core Formation period cultivator could not possibly be that strong."

"As for that Exotic Pill, it’s probably his special tactic. After all, he’s a Great Ability capable of reincarnation, he surely has his unique methods. But even if the Exotic Pill is strong, I’m afraid its strength has limits.

After all, Peak Master Cao is currently only at the Core Formation Stage. If the Exotic Pill’s power is too strong, he himself won’t be able to control it. He might even be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao."

"However, Peak Master Cao is actually much weaker than we imagined."

"He wasn’t intentionally hiding his power before, but what he showed was actually all of his strength."

The words of the Earth Immortal Realm Elders spread to the ears of their disciples, and suddenly, everyone finally understood the reason behind Cao Zhen’s strength.

"So it’s because of that Exotic Pill’s power."

"Hence, we misunderstood him before."

"This also explains everything he did before; he wasn’t deliberately hiding, he’s just that strong."

"Doesn’t this mean that we all have a chance to win when encountering him, to defeat a reincarnated Great Ability?"

"There’s no need to mention us, I’m afraid, even his current opponent has a chance to defeat him, that’s someone with five Exotic Golden Cores."

Upon the stage, Cao Zhen was speechless. Grand Preceptor, why didn’t you say before that I have a Core Formation of seven pearls?

If you had said it earlier, would I have been besieged by nine Golden Core Stage cultivators?

If I had bet on myself to win, who knows how much higher the odds would’ve been? Wouldn’t I have made a fortune?

Instead, you waited until now to tell me, and I nearly threw all my possessions into betting on myself to win. After the odds were revised because you said I was at the Core Formation Stage, I didn’t have much money left to bet. Aren’t you tricking me?

Across from Cao Zhen, Qiao Jingyao listened to the conversations circulating around and looked at the seven Heterodox Elixir Pearls behind Cao Zhen, her fighting spirit surging intensely, reaching skyward.

The opponent is only at the Core Formation Stage?

I’m at the Golden Core Stage, even if he is a reincarnated Great Ability, I must win!

As long as I defeat this reincarnated Great Ability, I will ensure the world remembers the Celestial Plum Sect!

With this, the Celestial Plum Sect can attract even more gifted disciples, thus accelerating its development!

In today’s battle, victory is the only option; defeat is not allowed!

Cao Zhen suddenly realized that his opponent’s gaze became more piercing, as if harboring deep-seated enmity against him.

"Begin!"

From below the stage, the referee’s call to start the match echoed; Qiao Jingyao made her move first.

Behind her, a Golden Core trembled violently, letting out a sound as if bursting open, and a piercing chill swept over the stage, instantly covering the entire stage with a layer of frost.

Amidst the biting cold, an image of a plum blossom emerged in the void, sending waves of fragrance that made one feel as if they were plunged into the depths of winter.

The next moment, the plum blossom phantom exploded, and petals flew towards Cao Zhen, each petal imbued with endless might.

Cao Zhen did not deploy the rotation of sun, moon, and stars again.

Qiao Jingyao’s cultivation was higher than his. Although he could use the rotation of sun, moon, and stars to counter her Divine Skills, after reflecting her skills back, he could not do it with greater speed or stronger force.

Moreover, there’s one more point, the rotation of sun, moon, and stars are indeed more suited to the Earth Immortal Realm’s Divine Skills. Although Xiang Ziyu modified it so that Golden Core Stage cultivators could use it, the mana consumption was significantly high.

And now, as he was still only at the Core Formation Stage, using the rotation of sun, moon, and stars consumed even more mana.

Now, facing Qiao Jingyao and deploying the rotation again seemed a bit futile.

Rather, another Divine Skill was more suitable for the current situation.

Qiao Jingyao’s Golden Core vision was of plants, clearly representing wood, and wood’s nemesis was fire.

Behind Cao Zhen, seven Heterodox Elixir Pearls and ten Immortal Bridges, ten Dao Platforms, began to tremble wildly.

Streams of mana poured into the Heretical Golden Core he released above his head.

The next moment, the temperature on the stage soared.

The layers of frost that had appeared on the stage melted instantly, while from the Heterodox Elixir Pearls behind him, flames rushed out, linking together to form a vast sea of fire, engulfing the entire stage and surging fiercely towards Qiao Jingyao.

The flames soared, as if intent on reducing the entire world to ashes.

"Explosive Sun Flames!"

"Isn’t this the Divine Skill previously displayed by Yi Sheng?"

"Cao Zhen is Yi Sheng’s master; is it any wonder that he knows Yi Sheng’s Divine Skills?"
