Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Breaking the Illusion of Killing, Defeat with Just One Move!

The sudden voice caught Mo Yunling off guard.

She tilted her head slightly and saw a handsome young man bathed in sunlight, with jet-black hair, star-like eyes, and a gentle smile on his face.

Upon seeing him, a sense of peace washed over her involuntarily.

“Who are you?” Mo Yunling asked instinctively.

“Meng Changqing, a newly appointed true disciple of Spirit Peak,” Meng Changqing replied with a smile.

“You’re Meng Changqing?” Mo Yunling covered her mouth lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

Although she had been in seclusion for almost half a year, she had heard about what happened in the Xuanqing Realm from her senior brothers and sisters when she came out.

She had heard that this junior brother had a terrifying comprehension ability and had comprehended sword qi while in the Sea Cleaving Realm.

Moreover, he almost killed the Crimson Rampage Golden Gorilla in the Xuanqing Realm!

Just newly appointed to the true disciples, even without practicing Earth-grade martial skills, he already possessed the strength of the upper-middle level.

“Yes,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly. He wasn’t surprised by this.

He was already a small celebrity within the sect.

Sending just one person to challenge the strong on the Hidden Dragon Ranking was not the norm.

He might be the first choice, or perhaps just an option.

Either way, it didn’t matter.

Meng Changqing’s appearance was somewhat abrupt, leaving many people stunned for a moment before coming to their senses.

“Another disciple from the Tai Xuan Sect has come. Judging from his clothes, he’s also a true disciple of Spirit Peak.”

“The Tai Xuan Sect is really determined. They must reclaim their position on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.”

“But who is this newcomer? He’s so young and unfamiliar. It seems like no one has ever seen him before. Does anyone recognize him?”

People looked at each other, shaking their heads.

“Who is the newcomer?” Xu You frowned.

He had finally forced Mo Yunling onto the stage, and now someone else was coming to disrupt things.

It really ruined his mood!

“Tai Xuan Sect, Spirit Peak, newly appointed true disciple Meng Changqing,” Meng Changqing walked to the center of the stage and faced Xu You.

“Meng Changqing?” Xu You searched his mind carefully, but he didn’t have any impression.

Information about Meng Changqing was mainly circulated within the sect and might be known to the higher-ups of other forces.

But someone like Xu You would definitely not be aware of it.

Moreover, Xu You had left Flame Sun Valley nearly two months ago, so he couldn’t possibly know.

“A newly appointed true disciple dares to challenge me?

“Do you really not know how to write the word ‘death’?” Xu You’s voice turned cold.

He felt somewhat insulted.

After all, he was a strong contender on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

How could he be compared to someone who had just entered the true disciples status?

On the high platform, Xu Mingyang heard Meng Changqing’s words and relaxed slightly.

Especially when he saw that Meng Changqing’s cultivation was only at the third level of the Sea Cleaving Realm, he felt even more relieved.

It seemed that the Tai Xuan Sect really had no one else and dared to send even such disciples.

Then he glanced at Cui Feiting beside him and continued to adopt a leisurely attitude.

“So he’s a newly appointed true disciple. No wonder he’s so unfamiliar.”

“But this guy’s courage is a bit too much. He just entered the Sea Cleaving Realm not long ago, and he dares to come here. He really has the courage of a newborn calf not fearing the tiger.”

“Although the difference between the Sea Cleaving Realm levels is not large, the level of cultivation still indicates something, such as the length of cultivation time and the depth of one’s foundation.”

In the audience seats, discussions were abound.

Almost everyone unanimously believed that this new disciple from the Tai Xuan Sect stood no chance.

After all, one was a young genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while the other was a newcomer who had no reputation.

Everyone naturally favored the former.

“Junior Brother Meng, be careful, this person is really strong,” Mo Yunling reminded from nearby.

Although this junior brother had comprehended sword qi, he had just entered the Sea Cleaving Realm, probably without even practicing Earth-grade martial skills.

On the other hand, Xu You had already mastered the “Searing Sun Cosmos Palm” to perfection. The difference in the levels of martial skills was significant, let alone the difference in cultivation levels.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister,” Meng Changqing replied softly without turning his head.

At this moment, he was observing Xu You’s character panel.

Basic information:

【Name: Xu You】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Sea Cleaving Realm, Eighth Level】

Attribute information:

【Root Bone: Second Grade】

【Comprehension: Superior】

【Techniques and Martial Skills: “Searing Sun Cosmos Palm” (Perfection), “Wind and Fire Rotating Wheel Technique” (Entry)…】

“Not bad martial skills,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly.

With second-grade root bone and superior comprehension, it was quite good.

He had only seen such attributes in Bai Suxi and his aunt.

As for others, they were slightly lacking.

However, in martial cultivation, it was not solely about these attributes.

There were also factors like luck and others.

“Why aren’t you speaking? What’s the meaning of this?” Xu You’s face darkened.

He had said so much, but there was no response from the other side.

It seemed like he was daydreaming?

“I’m sorry, I was lost in thought,” Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

Exhaling lightly, Xu You calmed himself down.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t help but want to kill this person.

How could he dare to be absent-minded in front of him?

Was he looking down on him?

Which challenger didn’t concentrate fully, as if facing a formidable enemy?

Only this person had been calm and relaxed from the beginning to now!

“Are you sure you want to challenge me?” Xu You spoke again.

“Of course, that’s why I’m here,” Meng Changqing replied calmly.

“Good, I’ll give you this opportunity. But let me be clear. The palm technique of my Flame Sun Valley is fierce and difficult to control. If I injure you, you have to bear it yourself. Don’t blame me.” Xu You spoke and scanned the audience. “The Tai Xuan Sect’s experts shouldn’t make trouble for me, right?”

The Hidden Dragon Battle was important at every stage, so strong individuals from various factions would be stationed to guard them.

However, they wouldn’t easily show themselves.

No one answered, so it was considered tacit approval.

“That’s a coincidence. The swordsmanship of our Spirit Peak is the same. It’s sharp and difficult to control. If I injure you, I hope you understand,” Meng Changqing said with a smile.

“Hmph, sharp words, do you think you can hurt me?” Xu You’s voice was cold.

Meng Changqing almost laughed out loud.

He felt quite speechless about this.

Why is it that when you say the same thing, it’s considered normal, but when I say it, it’s considered sharp-tongued?

Moreover, everything I said was the truth.

“Some disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect are so arrogant. They even think about injuring Xu You,” someone remarked.

“Doesn’t he know the difference between us?” Others shook their heads, their lips twitching.

“Begin!” The judge on the sidelines announced.

“Kid, I’ll defeat you with one move!” Xu You’s eyes flashed with cruelty. “Searing Sun Cosmos Palm!”

As he spoke, flames surged in Xu You’s hands, like two suns suspended in his palms.

The ground beneath his feet turned black from the intense heat, emitting flames.

The power was evident.

“He actually used the strongest move from the Searing Sun Cosmos Palm. He didn’t even use it when facing Mo Yunling earlier,” someone commented.

“It seems Xu You is really angry.”

People seemed to envision Meng Changqing being heavily injured and flying out.

“Pretty good martial skill,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly.

With just this palm technique, he could crush most of the martial artists in the Sea Cleaving Realm.

But still… it was a bit weak.

He didn’t even feel the desire to draw his sword.

He merely raised his right hand slightly, forming two fingers into a sword.

“Kneel before me!” Xu You’s gaze turned icy.

His palms resembled dragons emerging from water, or suns falling from the sky, as intense flames overwhelmed Meng Changqing.

He didn’t even need a sword. His arrogance was boundless. But for his arrogance, he would pay a heavy price!

However, in the next moment, a faint voice rang out. “Great Trancendent: Breaking the Illusion of Killing.”

Although the voice was calm, Xu You’s expression changed instantly.

God knew what he saw!

Those seemingly ordinary two fingers instantly changed their aura, becoming the sharpest sword in the world.

Just by looking at it, one would feel like their gaze was being shattered!

“What kind of swordsmanship is this?” Xu You panicked.

But it was too late to withdraw his move.

Reversing his energy flow would only harm himself!

Now, it was a head-on collision!

“I can’t lose!” Xu You knew he was in deep trouble, facing a true expert!

It was not like when he was facing Mo Yunling at all!

But he couldn’t afford to lose! Otherwise, he would be the culprit on the road to promotion in the Flame Sun Valley!

The family would be ashamed and lose their future!

Ah!

With a low roar, their palms clashed.

Dazzling sword light burst from their fingertips, endless sharpness emerging, seeming to cut through everything.

In an instant, all the flames were shattered.

In Xu You’s desperate eyes, Meng Changqing’s palms passed through.

Boom!

Xu You flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, rolling several times before barely stopping.

But he was already beyond the red line of the arena.

He lost.

“No!” Xu You’s mouth oozed blood as he struggled to stand up.

He wanted to step back onto the arena.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically as he looked at his own body, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

Shoo, shoo, shoo!

Countless golden sword qi burst out from his body, blood splattering.

His once powerful body was now like a tattered bag.

Bang!

Xu You fell to the ground, unconscious.

The whole arena fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

After a long time, someone finally came to their senses.

It was Xu Family’s patriarch, Xu Mingyang!

“No!” Xu Mingyang’s eyes were bloodshot as he rushed to Xu You’s side, quickly checking his pulse.

When he realized Xu You was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked up, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Meng Changqing!

Although not dead, Xu You was almost as good as severely injured!

Even his bones seemed to be damaged!

This would definitely affect his future cultivation!

“Damn it!” True qi surged within Xu Mingyang, wanting to kill this Tai Xuan Sect disciple named Meng Changqing immediately.

But he dared not.

There must be experts from the Tai Xuan Sect among the audience.

If he acted, he would cross the line!

The Tai Xuan Sect would surely wipe out the Xu Family!

And the Su Clan wouldn’t intervene.

“My God, Xu You actually lost!” People gradually recovered, exclaiming in disbelief, creating a buzz.

This scene was completely unexpected.

After all, Xu You was a strong contender on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

And this Meng Changqing… was hardly known, just a newcomer to the Sea Cleaving Realm.

The gap between them was evident.

But who could have expected that Xu You would lose, and so decisively, with just one move?

Gulp…

The sound of swallowing saliva continued. People’s eyes began to focus on the figure in white, which seemed exceptionally dazzling under the gentle sunlight.

“No wonder this person dares to challenge Xu You. It’s not arrogance at all, but rather ironclad strength!” someone murmured, echoing the thoughts of everyone present.

“The Great Transcendent Mystical Gold Sword Technique, and it’s at the perfected level!”

Cui Qian, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them at some point, his face now serious.

“Perfected level?” Cui Feiting, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but stand up, feeling a chill.

Any martial art, once perfected, undergoes a qualitative change.

Moreover, the Great Transcendent Mystical Gold Sword Technique was top-tier even among Earth-level martial arts. Once perfected, its power was unimaginable.

“Are you sure?” Cui Feiting couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, a long time ago, I saw that innate sword body of the Tai Xuan Sect in action, and he practiced the Great Transcendent Mystical Gold Sword Technique. This move is called ‘Breaking the Illusion of Killing,’ a powerful killing move that condenses sword qi to pierce through anything!

“And it can only be used when perfected.”

Cui Qian nodded, “This person held back. He only used a little bit of profound gold sword qi. Otherwise, Xu You would have exploded on the spot, leaving no trace behind!”

“So strong?” Cui Feiting’s hands tightened slightly, “Can you handle it?”

“I… can.” Cui Qian frowned slightly, “Although the ‘Great Transcendent Mystical Gold Sword Technique’ is strong, I have also cultivated the ‘Earth Fire Divine Dragon Tornado,’ which is of the same grade and not inferior to him. In addition, I have also perfected it.”

Although he said so, Cui Feiting’s eyes became serious.

He knew his son very well.

Always confident.

He wouldn’t pause his speaking, much less stutter.

And now, with such words, it was obvious that he didn’t have absolute confidence!

“I thought a soft tomato had come, but who would have thought it was a real hidden dragon!” Cui Feiting looked towards the center of the arena.

That figure in white, under the gentle sunlight, appeared exceptionally dazzling!
