As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of water vapor surrounded Nangong Qian and spun rapidly. As soon as the spiritual fire touched the water vapor, its brilliance was greatly reduced. It stopped outside the water vapor and did not dare to move forward.
"Damn it!" Nangong Kun immediately retracted his spiritual fire. Although the spiritual fire was powerful, it relied entirely on his True Essence to burn it. Once it encountered a water-type spell, the spiritual fire would be damaged.
All the disciples were speechless when they saw Nangong Qian use the Water Curse. Although most of the disciples of the Shu Dao Sacred Mountain only cultivated their own elemental spells, the talented disciples would also cultivate other elemental spells, but they would not be proficient in them. Only the disciples of the Spirit-elect would be proficient in other Taoist spells. Everyone was shocked to see Nangong Qian fight Nangong Kun with a Dao technique that he was not good at.
"I didn't expect you to use a water curse!”Nangong Kun sounded a little unwilling." You're best at lightning curses and earth curses. This time, you used water curses to restrain me, but don't forget that I know lightning curses too!”
The light on Nangong Kun's body changed, and a bolt of lightning appeared. The lightning gathered on his palms, making ear-piercing sounds. Nangong Kun activated his True Essence. The Seven Stars Dipper Steps allowed him to nimbly move to Nangong Qian's side. Without hesitation, he struck out with his palm and headed straight for the water wall around Nangong Qian.
Nangong Qian withdrew his Zhen Yuan, and the surrounding water vapor suddenly expanded and dispersed, causing Nangong Kun's eyes to be covered in a white mist. Just as Nangong Kun was about to rush out of the mist, Nangong Qian's Thunder Palm arrived quietly. Nangong Kun didn't show any weakness. His two palms collided, and both of them retreated several meters. Nangong Kun took advantage of the situation and the red talisman in the sky turned into a fire dragon that rushed towards Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian also gathered all of his vital essence. The water wall demon-subduing circle appeared around him again, disintegrating Nangong Kun's fire dragon attack.
Just like that, the two of them frequently switched their attributes to battle. All kinds of lights flickered, and it was very spectacular. The people around them were dumbfounded. They secretly broke out in cold sweat. They were glad that they did not fight with them in the morning. Tang Wan 'er stared at the two of them without blinking. She was so nervous that she might have even forgotten to breathe.
While Han Xu and the others were not paying attention, Su Yingting had already walked to Tang Wan 'er's side. She gently held Tang Wan' er's shoulder to calm her down. Tang Wan 'er seemed to have found someone to rely on. She held her arm tightly and continued to watch the duel in the middle of the field.
After more than ten rounds, Nangong Kun felt that his primeval essence was depleted due to the battles in the morning and afternoon. On the other hand, Nangong Qian did not use much primeval essence, so he looked much better than Nangong Kun.
"Enough, second brother, you can't beat me!”Nangong Qian reminded with concern.
"Hmph, you don't have to worry. I won't admit defeat.”Nangong Kun turned to look at Tang Wan 'er, who was in the crowd, and he felt an unknown motivation. "Brother, you must treat Wan 'er well!”
Nangong Qian had a bad feeling when he heard that. A strong Karma was emitted from Nangong Kun's body, and even the surrounding air began to become stuffy.
Nangong Kun spread his arms and shot out a few golden threads from his sleeves. They coiled around Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian recognized it as the Snow Ape Golden Thread at a glance. It was made from the fur of the Snow Ape and was indestructible. If one was entangled by it, they would not be able to escape. Only Honored Warrior Benevolent Martial had this Dharma treasure. He didn't expect his master to give it to Nangong Kun. Nangong Qian looked at Honored Warrior Benevolent Martial in the distance, but he also had an innocent look on his face.
There was no time for Nangong Qian to think anymore. He desperately urged the Seven Stars Gang Steps under his feet and mobilized all the true essence in his body. His blue talisman was nowhere to be seen. He only dodged left and right to avoid the Snow Ape Golden Thread.
However, the Yeti Golden Thread was not something that could be escaped by ordinary curses. After dodging it a few times, Nangong Qian was still entangled by the golden thread. The more he struggled, the tighter the golden thread became, making him unable to move. Nangong Kun saw that Nangong Qian could no longer resist, so the spiritual fire between his eyebrows appeared again. This time, he didn't use the spiritual fire to attack directly. Instead, he guided the spiritual fire onto the Snow Ape Golden Thread. The golden thread was immediately ignited, and countless tongues of fire spread towards Nangong Qian.
Nangong Qian had no other choice but to gather all of his Zhen Yuan. The air around him immediately became cold. The surrounding water vapor kept gathering on his body, and a thick layer of ice tightly wrapped around him. All the disciples present exclaimed and started to worry for Nangong Qian. Even if Nangong Qian summoned his Ice Barrier, it was only a matter of time before it melted when faced with Nangong Kun's spiritual fire, which had been cultivated for many years.
Nangong Kun shouted loudly as all of his vital essence poured out. The tongues of fire moved quickly and clashed with Nangong Qian's ice. The ice and fire clashed, giving off a dazzling light. The surrounding disciples could not see the outcome of the battle clearly. They could only hear a slight explosion and Nangong Qian's moans.
By the time the light faded, Nangong Qian was already lying on the ground. His clothes were burnt to a crisp. It seemed like he was badly injured. On the other side, Nangong Kun had only exhausted his primeval essence. He half-knelt on the ground and panted heavily.
"What? Did Second Brother Kun win?”Han Xu asked in disbelief.
When the surrounding disciples heard Han Xu's words, they immediately became extremely noisy. Tang Wan 'er looked at the two people on the field with a sorrowful expression and an indifferent expression.
Just as Honorable Benevolent Martial was about to announce the result, Nangong Qian's lips seemed to move a few times. Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky and struck Nangong Kun. Nangong Kun was caught off guard and collapsed to the ground. Everyone was stunned.
"No!" Tang Wan 'er screamed and rushed to Nangong Kun's side. She hugged Nangong Kun's tired body and cried non-stop.
Nangong Kun slowly opened his eyes and said helplessly to Tang Wan 'er,""I…I'm sorry, I…I didn't…defeat big brother, I'm sorry…"
Tang Wan 'er didn't answer Nangong Kun. She just hugged him and cried desperately. Their hearts had never been so close before. They were so close that even their heartbeats were so clear.
Nangong Qian dragged his body to stand up. There was no doubt that he had won, but he did not smile at all. He had two streams of tears on his face as he said to Nangong Kun in his heart,"" See, this is the difference between us. She didn't cry for me, but for you, she cried non-stop. Perhaps this is the best ending…"
The competition had come to an end yesterday. There was no doubt that the final winner was Nangong Qian, who would become the next Spiritual Practitioner. He was currently cultivating in the True Martial Palace, waiting for Honorable Benevolent Martial to send him to the Secret Realm of Shu.
Nangong Qian was the only one sitting in the True Martial Palace. He looked at the door of the palace as if he was deep in thought. Suddenly, two familiar figures interrupted his thoughts. They were Tang Wan 'er and Nangong Kun. Nangong Kun didn't seem to want to come in and stood far away from the door. Only Tang Wan 'er strolled in.
"Is Second Brother…alright?"
"Xiao Xu has already fed him the medicine he brought from Zi Yin. He should be fine!”
"I'm sorry, Wan 'er! I…"
"There's no need to say anything else. Master has already asked me to go to White Spirit Mountain with Senior Brother Kun to help Senior Brother Huangfu guard the Five Elements Demon Sealing Array. During this period of time, you can rest in seclusion and prepare to welcome the Eight Sect Council of our Shu Dao Sacred Mountain. " I know that you've never loved me, but my love for you has never changed. Since you're already a Spiritual Practitioner now, I'll tell Father after a while and ask him to cancel our engagement…" At this point, Tang Wan 'er's face was covered in tears, but she still held back her tears.
"Wan 'er, I'm really sorry. I only have the feelings of a brother and sister for you, and I already have someone in my heart.”
"Is it the owner of that jade pendant?"
"Yes!" Nangong Qian nodded. He decided not to avoid Tang Wan 'er anymore.
Tang Wan 'er took a deep breath, wiped the tears off her face, and turned to leave.
"Wan 'er, you should actually observe the people around you more. Perhaps the person who loves you deeply is already by your side. We can't change the situation, but I hope you can be happy.”
Tang Wan 'er didn't turn around. She just smiled at Nangong Kun at the door, and the two of them turned around and disappeared from Nangong Qian's sight. Nangong Qian was the only one left in the True Martial Palace. However, he suddenly felt relieved. He felt relieved. Regardless of whether Wan 'er and Nangong Kun had forgiven him or not, he felt much better after saying these words.
Tang Wan 'er and Nangong Kun returned to their residence and bid farewell to Han Xu and the other two before heading to White Spirit Mountain. Looking at Tang Wan 'er, who still looked haggard, Su Yingting could not help but sigh deeply."What is love in this world?"
"Eh, when did Miss Su become so melancholic?”Li Li couldn't help but tease.
Su Yingting did not respond to him and left alone. Li Li also asked for a snub. He turned around and jumped out of the room, wandering around. Han Xu didn't say anything for a while, so he decided to visit Nangong Qian at the True Martial Palace.
However, when Han Xu arrived at the True Martial Palace, only the Honorable Benevolent Martial was left inside. He looked even older, and no one knew what had happened.
"Venerable One, what's wrong? Where's Brother Qian?”Han Xu said with concern as he summoned the Haoran Mirror. From the mirror, he poured a cup of Immortal in the Mist for Honored Warrior Renwu to drink.
"Thank you, child. As expected of the successor of the Green Shadow Gorge's Stream Kitchen Sect. Your culinary skills are amazing!”
"Venerable One, thank you for your praise. I wonder why you are so tired?”
"Sigh, I've just formed my Azoth Core for Qian 'er, and I've exhausted my physical strength, so I don't look too good.”
"Big Brother Qian has already formed his Azoth Core.”Han Xu asked excitedly.
"I've already sent him to the Secret Realm of Shu to cultivate in seclusion. He'll probably come out when the Eight Sect Conference is held. These few days, he wanted to comprehend the mysteries of the five elements. Whether he could improve or not would depend on his own luck. By the way, how's your cultivation of the Seven Stars Dipper Steps?”
"Thank you for your guidance, Venerable One. My Seven Stars Dipper Steps has already reached a small level. I will practice it harder and not let you down.”
Honored Warrior Renwu smiled and nodded in approval after hearing Han Xu's words.
Five days passed like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the meeting. Today, the Shu Path Sacred Mountain was particularly lively. The leaders of the eight sects and their proud disciples also came in droves. The reunion of old friends was naturally the icing on the cake.
