Chapter 46: The Might of Body Cultivation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Ming relied on the Wind Lightning Steps to conceal his traces at an extremely fast speed.
This made Yun Changtian, who was in the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm, feel a headache coming on.
Even though he had prepared his defenses, he had heard that Li Ming’s prowess in body cultivation was quite powerful!
Once he got close, the situation would definitely change.
Thinking of this, Yun Changtian hurriedly waved the magical treasure sword in his hand and continuously released sword qi in an attempt to interfere with Li Ming.
However, it was obvious that this method was useless.
Suddenly!
There was an incredibly bright flash of lightning and the wind stopped abruptly!
At the moment when Yun Changtian’s pupils contracted from the bright flash of light, Li Ming leaped up and launched a punch right at him!
Boom!
In an instant, his fist was covered with flames. The blazing flames together with his explosive power instantly broke the defensive shield. The remaining power directly blasted Yun Changtian out of the arena!
Once he was off the arena, he would have been considered to have lost!
From the moment Li Ming made his move to the moment he won, his speed was extremely fast. The entire process took less than five minutes!
The match had concluded relatively quickly!
Whether it was the qi refinement stage or the foundation establishment realm, their weakness was obvious!
It was the same for those practicing body cultivation. One was afraid of long-range attacks, while the other was afraid of close-range attacks!
The key to victory was who could seize the opportunity first!
There was no doubt that Yun Changtian had no way to deal with Li Ming’s Wind Lightning Steps. He could only choose to defend passively.
However, how could a qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivator defend against the close-range attacks of a body cultivatioon foundation establishment cultivation?
Was this a joke?
It was obvious that these people had never fought with a body cultivation foundation establishment cultivator before, so they had no idea what it was like.
Therefore, it was very easy for them to suffer losses.
Following Li Ming’s victory, the disciples below the stage were all confused!
“What is this?”
“It ended with one punch?”
“F*ck! Fake competition!”
“Yun Changtian! To think that we still called you senior brother! I can’t believe you actually faked the match!”
“That’s right. A single punch to end the battle? Bullsh*t!”
“Since when did the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm become so weak?”
The outer and inner sect disciples all objected to the result of the competition.
But in the eyes of the elite disciples and the elders, the match was very clear.
Li Ming’s previous movement technique was not something that ordinary qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators could see through.
At the same time, Li Ming’s punch might have looked simple, but it was a martial technique, a fist technique of the Five Divine Fists.
Coupled with the explosive power of his body cultivation foundation establishment cultivation, it was truly difficult for those at the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm to defend against him!
And this was already when most of the power had been blocked by defenses. If not for the defenses that he had set up earlier, Yun Changtian would have definitely been seriously injured!
It was indisputable that those that attained the body cultivation foundation establishment realm would have considerable combat power!
After seeing what had happened, the elders had already started to think.
With Li Ming’s victory, the first round of the competition soon ended.
As the number of people decreased, the successive battles became even more intense!
However, as expected, with Li Ming’s strength as a body cultivation foundation establishment cultivator, he was able to easily suppress the qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators!
After reaching the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, the speed and explosiveness of the Wind Lightning Steps, coupled with the Five Divine Fist, were simply something that those at the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm had great difficulty dealing with!
The journey was smooth and unobstructed, and he successfully won match after match!
On the contrary, it was not so easy for other qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators.
Time and time again, by relying on his extremely fast speed and explosive power, Li Ming made it impossible for the qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators to resist his might!
This also caused the spectators’ initial dissatisfaction with Li Ming to slowly transform into shock!
They had not expected the body cultivation foundation establishment realm to have such terrifying power!
Everyone was in great shock!
At this time, the contestants on the field began to feel afraid as well. They worried that they would encounter Li Ming next.
The only exception to this was Chen Qingke, who wanted to fight Li Ming herself.
Even though she had always been on Li Ming’s side and was overjoyed to see Li Ming’s performance in the arena, she had also won all her matches with overwhelming strength. She had become the highlight of this inner sect grand competition!
She was also the target of admiration of countless disciples.
Beautiful, strong, and talented. Such a person was naturally like the moon among the stars!
As for Li Ming?
Naturally, there were different opinions!
Some people thought that the body cultivation foundation establishment was powerful, but there were also some who thought that Li Ming just had too many means. He relied on his fists and speed. Once these two were countered, they believed that Li Ming would naturally have no way to fight back!
Even though there was a lot of debate, it was unquestionable that Li Ming had advanced into the top ten!
The top ten meant that the top five soon be selected after another round of matches.
The top five would soon emerge!
“Next, the ten inner sect disciples shall go on stage according to the drawing of lots.”
As the elder spoke, the numbers on the jade plates in everyone’s hands changed.
And Li Ming got the number one!
His opponent was Lin Xiao, who was also considered a prodigy in the inner sect!
This person had already consolidated his qi cultivation foundation establishment and had even reached the stage before Chen Qingke did.
Moreover, in the previous battles, Lin Xiao had similarly won all his matches with overwhelming strength.
What was additionally worth mentioning was that Lin Xiao had a special physique. Although he did not have natural divine strength, his physique was slightly stronger than that of other foundation establishment cultivators.
Therefore, the battle between the two of them seemed to have been deliberately arranged.
On the arena, Lin Xiao looked at Li Ming, ready to make his move!
“Li Ming, we were of the same generation. When you chose to train your body, I also heard about it. I also did the same, but I did not treat it as my main path or the right path.”
“The purpose of body cultivation is just to strengthen the body.”
“You’re quite talented, and the elders thought highly of you. But you let down the hopes of the sect and insisted on body cultivation. Even if you have attained the foundation establishment realm, I shall show you today that your body cultivation foundation establishment is nothing but a joke!”
Lin Xiao spoke domineeringly. With his words, he directly denied the feasibility of Li Ming’s body cultivation foundation establishment.
In his eyes, body cultivation was simply a means to strengthen one’s physique. To rely on body cultivation to reach the peak?
It was simply a fool’s dream!
In his eyes, Li Ming’s choices were naive and stupid.
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, Li Ming’s response was very simple.
“You talk too much nonsense. Let’s begin.”
Li Ming assumed his stance, and Lin Xiao naturally did not dally either.
Lin Xiao, who also had some attainments in terms of physical strength, immediately charged forward!
At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and his spiritual qi instantly swelled. An array of sharp short swords flew out from his hand!
The short swords gleamed with a sharp light around his body. While functioning as an attack, they also functioned as a defense.
“It’s Senior Brother Lin’s magical art!”
“Heavens, this is the magical art closest to the mystic tier!”
“It has both offensive and defensive properties. It’s the high-grade yellow-tier Spirit Controlling Art!”
“Senior Brother Lin’s body is also strong, and he’s at the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm. This time, he’ll definitely be able to make Li Ming show us all he’s got!”
All the disciples were extremely excited.
They believed that with Lin Xiao’s strength, he would definitely be able to easily crush Li Ming!
This Spirit Controlling Art had both offense and defense, and it left absolutely no place left to attack Lin Xiao.
Even for Li Ming, who was at the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, it was clearly an unwise choice for him to use his fists on those sharp swords!
They were both foundation establishment cultivators, but their cultivation paths were different.. Nevertheless, it was unquestionable that their power was extraordinary!
