Chapter 144 A Little Test of Skills
Qiu Buyan seemed to be very familiar with the layout of Dide Temple. He soon came to a high platform, which should be used for fighting. Wu Yi saw some traces of knife and axe cutting here. The array patterns here were densely covered, which was much more complicated than the array patterns arranged by Li Bi.
There were only 200 people at first, and after entering Dide Temple, there were 100 more people. In addition to these foundation-building cultivators, there were more Qi-refining disciples, more than 1,000 people.
The total number of disciples of Liucheng Yiqi Taoist Temple where Wu Yi came from was only more than 200 people, while the main courtyard of Dide Temple had thousands of people at random. If those disciples who were practicing and those who went out to practice were included, how scary this number would be.
There is a reason why the main courtyard looked down on the side courtyards. The number of disciples alone was comparable to the disciples of half of the Taoist temples in Dayu Country, not to mention the qualifications of the disciples.
If the other seven main courtyards were the same, then the eight main courtyards alone would account for half of the outer disciples. Wu Yi thought in his heart.
In addition to these disciples, Wu Yi could also sense a few auras as deep as the sea. There must be a real person observing behind the scenes. Wu Yi didn't understand why he was just an ordinary disciple of the side courtyard, so he caused such a big disturbance.
But if Wu Yi understood the status of the ladder, he would not be so curious. You know, even if the Dongtian Shangzhen, who represents the highest level of the sect, did not rely on the ladder to become a true disciple, he must have stepped on the ladder when he cultivated to the golden elixir or higher.
The ladder is an immortal brought by the immortals of the upper world and the founder of this world. It contains the most original fundamental law. The fundamental law passed down in the sect now is just the younger generation's understanding and writing. If you want to walk your own way and break through to a higher level, it is necessary to trace back to the origin.
In addition, this is also a stepping stone to the sect of the upper world. In order to prove the Tao Taichu (the first Tao fruit of the immortal), they can't help but pay attention.
The array pattern on the fighting stage was activated, and a faint light appeared at the four corners of the fighting stage, forming a large encirclement covering an area of dozens of feet, enclosing Wu Yi and Huo Wu, and the aftermath of the fight would also be blocked in it.
Wu Yi looked at this range. There was no room for his Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Array here, which was an obstacle to his strength, but he did not intend to let these ghosts help in the battle at first. However, the evil ghosts were still sent out by him, scattered underground and lurking, but Huo Wu, who was affected by Wu Yi's illusion, did not find that this was not an equal battle at all.
Huo Wu did not find that Wu Yi sent out ghosts, but it did not mean that others did not see it. As the saying goes, a bystander sees clearly. The disciples who watched the battle all found that there was a faint and invisible black fog spreading.
They wanted to snatch Wu Yi's qualification to climb the ladder to heaven, so they would not know nothing about Wu Yi. They also knew a little before coming. Knowing that Wu Yi was favored by the real person because he raised ghosts, when they saw Wu Yi using this method, their eyes were bright and they dared not move.
The array was activated, but the fight did not begin, because Qiu Buyan had not completed the procedure. His presence alone was far from enough. Wu Yi and Huo Wu needed to sign two dispute contracts, and these two contracts had to be sent to the Judicial Hall of the Zhengqing Court of the inner sect for confirmation. After confirmation, one copy would be sent back, and one copy would be kept in the Judicial Hall as evidence.
There were many procedures such as transfer and forwarding, which were really complicated, but such a setting was also to avoid disciples fighting over a disagreement, at least to maintain a scene of mutual respect within the sect.
After waiting for half a minute, a contract finally arrived. At this time, Wu Yi and Huo Wu were almost exhausted. After watching the contract and confirming that the seal was correct, Qiu Buyan said slowly: "It can start."
After receiving the news that it could start, Huo Wu took the lead, and his burly body pressed towards Wu Yi, his whole body glowing with a light earth color, and a heavy palm slapped Wu Yi with great force. Judging from his moves, it should be a combination of energy and strength.
Wu Yi dispersed the Blood Burning Technique that he had been activating all over his body, and took a hard blow from him, then retreated half a step. Without activating the Blood Burning Technique, Wu Yi was not as strong as Huo Wu.
But Wu Yi usually activated the Blood Burning Technique, and was already familiar with the state of activating the Blood Burning Technique. Under normal circumstances, activating the Blood Burning Technique can speed up the circulation of Qi and blood, and can increase the strength by three times. At that time, Huo Wu was not as good as him.
Huo Wu had forced Wu Yi to retreat before, thinking that Wu Yi's strength was just so-so, and he bullied forward, intending to force Wu Yi to the end and prevent him from using other means.
After estimating Huo Wu's strength, Wu Yi activated the Blood Burning Technique again and fought Huo Wu again.
Huo Wu's initially proud expression suddenly changed, and he retreated three steps in a row. He did not expect Wu Yi's strength to suddenly increase so much, and his face was full of disbelief.
Huo Wu has cultivated his strength to the foundation-building stage. He is already quite strong, but he has not mastered the strength of his whole body. He cannot exert 80% of his strength, otherwise he would not be repelled by Wu Yi in one move. This also shows the benefits of Wu Yi's practice of nine moves.
Huo Wu was repelled by Wu Yi, but after all, the winner was not decided. He gave up his fantasy and knew that Wu Yi was favored by the real person. His strength must be not low, but Huo Wu was not without other means.
Since he could not beat Wu Yi in strength, he still had the Qi Dao. Huo Wu retreated three steps, tapped the ground with his toes, and retreated before fighting. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Huo Wu said: "Don't be arrogant, let me show you my Qi catching hand."
Wu Yi was amused and was too lazy to refute. Huo Wu had already used his means, and saw a huge hand covering the sky coming towards him, covering half of the range in the formation.
Huo Wu naturally does not have such majestic spiritual energy. Even if he did, he would not be able to use all this spiritual energy at once. Wu Yi could see that except for the core of the big palm that contained some spiritual energy, the rest of the area was all contained. Just miscellaneous.
Wu Yi jumped up to avoid the Qi Grasping Hand, but he did not expect that the Qi Grasping Hand was extremely flexible. No matter how Wu Yi moved, his big hand kept following closely.
"Haha, if my energy grappler can dodge so easily, wouldn't it be called this name for nothing." Seeing Wu Yi being forced into the corner of the formation, with nowhere to dodge, Huo Wu couldn't help but feel extremely proud.
Wu Yi's previous dodge was not forced to dodge, but to explore its weakness. The weakness was obviously the spiritual energy at the core. If this group of spiritual energy was broken, the entire big hand would disappear, but he found that this energy captured the spiritual energy at the core of the hand from time to time. Changes, changes of direction, there is nowhere to control it. If you want to destroy the spiritual energy at the core, you can only destroy the entire big hand together.
Although there was no way to destroy the spiritual energy, Wu Yi also tested out the seemingly irresistible power of the Qi Grasping Hand and allowed himself to be covered by the big palm.
In the vast white mist, Wu Yi disappeared into the white mist formed by the evaporation of spiritual energy. The people watching were in an uproar and tried hard to use their eyesight to see clearly what happened.
Qiu Buyan, who had sharp eyes, saw a flash of red light in the white mist, and Wu Yi broke out of the white mist.
"It seems to be a means of stimulating qi and blood." Qiu Buyan murmured to himself. He finally saw a hint of the secret when Wu Yi increased the intensity of the blood-burning technique.
Wu Yi no longer watched and learned Huo Wu's methods. He attacked fiercely and used his fists and kicks to control the wind. Huo Wu was unable to fight back at all.
Huo Wu was already weaker than Wu Yi, but he was caught off guard. In addition, Wu Yi was extremely fast and his defeat was obvious.
Huo Wu was punched in the face again. He was filled with hatred and roared. A wolf-headed sword suddenly appeared in Huo Wu's hand and slashed down from the air.
At this moment, Huo Wu used all his strength, and with the grief, anger and shame, his strength increased by three points. The sword seemed to have felt the grief and anger of its master, and let out a wolf howl, which was extremely penetrating. If Wu Yi's Dao Yun hadn't flashed through, he was forced to retreat. Wu Yi almost fell into Huo Wu's way with the howl of Silk Wolf.
A ray of starlight came from nowhere. It looked like a pair of scissors, cutting from the top of the big knife. The red and blue light flashed past. The mighty and domineering wolf howl suddenly became fainter. The blade trembled, and Huo Wu almost lost his hand.
Wu Yi kicked Huo Wu hard from behind. Huo Wu immediately flew forward and the sword was released. Wu Yi jumped into the sky and pressed down with the force of Mount Tai.
Huo Wu was extremely frightened and said loudly: "I give up."
Wu Yi landed heavily, causing dust to fill the sky. The white stone bricks below also shattered. The dust dispersed, and there was no one underneath. Huo Wu had been moved out.
Wu Yi stood up, and the shattered floor quickly returned to its original shape, but if you look carefully, you can still see invisible cracks. The formation has the effect of self-recovery, but it is not without loss.
Huo Wu was teleported away. After all, this was a fight, not a desperate fight. If one party surrendered, they would not die.
Although Huo Wu left, the sword he used in the end was lying aside. Wu Yi picked it up easily. Unexpectedly, the sword had a weak will to resist him. It trembled slightly. Wu Yi smiled and felt a strong force. He pinched the sword, and the sword immediately stabilized.
Could it be that this is a spiritual weapon. Wu Yi thought to himself, but quickly shook his head. This should be a semi-spiritual weapon, which is far from a real spiritual weapon.
Spiritual weapons are a very strange existence among the objects used by monks. Spiritual weapons, as the name suggests, contain spirits and form their own will.
Some magic weapons can become spiritual weapons, but there are also some Dao weapons that are not spiritual weapons. Spiritual weapons are no longer simple tools, but a kind of living being, just like the living things of plants and trees, except that their bodies are man-made.
Instrument life is naturally a good thing for monks who can control the instrument spirit in the instrument, but if they cannot control it, the backlash of the treasure is enough to destroy the monk.
"Give me back my wolf sword." Seeing Wu Yi put away his sword, Huo Wu, who had just left the formation, couldn't help shouting angrily. This sword was a treasure passed down from his ancestors for several generations. Let this knife give birth to a trace of spirituality.
"You want it, come up and get it." Wu Yi's expression was so arrogant that Huo Wu's eyes were splitting, but he knew that he couldn't defeat Wu Yi, so he turned around and ran away after leaving a sentence of "wait for it". Went to find reinforcements.
Wu Yi didn't care who Huo Wu was looking for. He threw the sword aside and said to the people below: "If you don't have anything above this level as a betrothal gift, don't come up."
After saying that, Wu Yi left the fighting stage and came to Qiu Buyan's side, saying: "Brother, you said before that according to the sect's laws, I can fight every three days, right?"
The sect did arrange it this way, and he did say so. Qiu Buyan nodded, not knowing what Wu Yi meant.
"Then it won't hurt if I fight a few more times." Wu Yi showed a harmless smile. For some reason, Qiu Buyan suddenly felt a little sad for the others.
