In the ring, Tang Xuan's face was red from the pain.
Just when everyone thought that Tang Xuan was going to lose, he suddenly let out a roar and surprisingly suppressed the true energy disturbance brought by the Qi word mantra.
"I see!" Tang Xuan seemed to have realized something as he laughed out loud. "The effects of this medicinal mantra can actually be suppressed and resolved with medicine!"
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned.
Even Cheng Xu was stunned on the spot.
The core principle of the medicinal mantra was pharmacology, so naturally, he could also use pharmacology to resolve the effects of the medicinal mantra.
Which was also to say that the medicinal law incantation's effect on alchemists would be greatly reduced.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party's alchemist knew how to use medicinal knowledge to resolve it. Otherwise, there was no difference between them and other cultivators.
Senior Brother Tang is indeed amazing. You can actually think of using medicinal theory to resolve the influence of the medicinal law incantation.
Cheng Xu couldn't help but give Tang Xuan a thumbs up.
Tang Xuan had also regained his confidence. With a wave of his hand, the flying swords that were scattered on the ground flew back to him. "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Cheng. It seems that your medicinal mantra has limited effect on me!"
As he spoke, he controlled the flying sword to stab Cheng Xu again.
Knowing the power of the flying sword, Cheng Xu no longer held back. A poison incantation appeared above his head.
Tang Xuan instantly entered a poisoned state. He tried to use medicine to dissolve the strange poison in his body while controlling the flying sword to shoot toward Cheng Xu.
However, just as the flying sword was about to hit Cheng Xu, a stream of water suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly swirled to form a stream of water that wrapped around the flying sword.
The flying sword that was stuck in the water current was forcibly suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward any further as the force of the swirling water current continuously dissipated.
"What?"
Tang Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief.
In the spectator area, Perfected Dan Yang and the other elders could not help but stand up.
"That is... The Mystic Water Technique?"
"Martial Nephew Cheng has actually mastered the Mystic Water Technique, this ... How is that possible?"
"Impossible. He's only been in the sect for a month, and it took him more than ten days to comprehend the medicinal mantra. Where did he find the time to comprehend the Mystic Water Technique? "
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as the Mystic Water Technique!" Perfected Dan Yang's eyes flickered wildly. "Judging from his precise control of water and the power displayed by the water flow, he is at least at the second level of the Mystic Water Technique."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jian Yuxiang in unison.
However, Jian Yuxiang was staring at Cheng Xu on the stage and mumbling to herself, "I knew it! Junior Brother Cheng has also mastered the Mystic Water Technique!
"What do you mean, girl? you mean when Martial Nephew Cheng enlightened you, he already comprehended the Mystic Water Technique?"
"I'm afraid so," Jian Yuxiang nodded her head firmly. "Only someone who has truly understood the Mystic Water Technique can point out my problem with one sentence."
Although she had expected this, she was still shocked when she saw Cheng Xu use the Mystic Water Technique.
She could feel that Cheng Xu's level of comprehension of the Mystic Water Technique was far above hers.
"My God, what kind of monster did Senior Brother Chi Yao pick up?"
"A disciple with such a heaven-defying comprehension ability was actually expelled from the Yunzhong sect? Simply too much!"
"His comprehension is too mysterious. Moreover, Martial Nephew Cheng was only an outer sect disciple of the Yunzhong sect before, so he didn't have any decent inheritances. Naturally, he couldn't show his brilliance." Spirit Herb Hall's Elder Feng analyzed.
"Tsk, tsk. I can only say that the Yunzhong sect has no foresight. They've just let the Medicine Immortal Valley have it!"
"I can already see the dawn of the Medicine Immortal Valley's rise!"
"This kid will definitely become a great person in the future!"
While he was secretly excited, Perfected Dan Yang's eyes flickered."Does this mean that our Medicine Immortal Valley can participate in the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament half a year later?"
"That's right, how could I forget about the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament!"
"By the way, how many years has it been since our Medicine Immortal Valley has participated in the Inter-Sect Martial Arts Tournament?"
"The tournament is held once every three years. I guess there have been at least dozens of tournaments that I haven't participated in."
"If I remember correctly, the last time we participated, it was us old guys. Although we were beaten a little badly, we still showed the glory of our Medicine Immortal Valley."
...
On the stage, Tang Xuan had started to doubt his life.
He wanted to control the flying sword to come back, but he found that the flying sword was wrapped tightly by the water current and couldn't be pulled back at all.
"You've really hidden it well, Junior Brother. You've actually managed to cultivate the Mystic Water Technique without anyone knowing." Tang Xuan suppressed the poison in his body with great difficulty. Seeing that he couldn't retrieve his flying sword, he could only use a spell to attack.
He quickly formed a seal with his hands and condensed a circle of fist-sized fireballs behind him.
Then, under his control, they smashed toward Cheng Xu one after another.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
One fireball after another followed.
Cheng Xu didn't panic at all. He used the Mystic Water Technique to create a layer of water curtain for defense, which collided with the fireballs and produced clouds of steam.
Seeing that his moves were ineffective against Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan could only brace himself and fly forward to engage in close combat with Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu had a flash of inspiration and immediately used the Qi word mantra on himself. The speed of the true Qi in his body increased greatly, and his attributes in all aspects were greatly improved.
The Tiger Subduing Fist and Tang Xuan clashed head-on.
With the support of the martial arts theoretical data, the Tiger Subduing Fist was no longer the same as before. In addition to the support of the Qi word, he was actually able to fight back and forth with Tang Xuan, who was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and not be at a disadvantage.
"So the medicinal mantra can be used like this?" While Tang Xuan was secretly surprised, his lips curled into a smile. "But how long can your true Qi last in the state of accelerated circulation? "
Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything.
After receiving Tang Xuan's palm strike in a close call, moist water instantly gathered around his body as he swung out the Tiger Subduing Fist with all his might. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Tang!"
The moment he swung the Tiger Subduing Fist, the water vapor around him quickly condensed into a surging water current.
He didn't have much true Qi to continue fighting, but it wasn't a problem for him to win this match with the remaining true Qi.
Although Tang Xuan managed to block the damage with his Protective Dipper energy in time, he was still sent flying by the terrifying water current, staggering out of the ring.
For a moment, the Medicine Immortal Valley disciples were in an uproar.
After all, Cheng Xu was only at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, but he had successfully defeated Tang Xuan, who was in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm.
"Fine~ I finally understand." Tang Xuan stabilized himself with great difficulty. Junior Brother Cheng is not a normal person at all. He's a monster!
"Thanks for letting me win." Cheng Xu chuckled and cupped his fists.
Tang Xuan waved his hand and smiled bitterly. The power contained in the water flow was still vivid in his mind. the Mystic Water Technique that Junior Brother just used is probably even stronger than Junior Sister Jian's. But I don't understand how you managed to comprehend the Mystic Water Technique to this extent in such a short time.
"Maybe it's fate. Anyway, I only read it a few times before I comprehended it." Cheng Xu was humble bragging.
As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent.
"…"
The corner of Tang Xuan's mouth twitched as he shook his head. He turned to look at Jian Yuxiang in the spectator area, "Junior Sister Jian, do you want to come up and have a match with Junior Brother Cheng?"
Jian Yuxiang smiled faintly and said, "I won't go and get myself humiliated. Please recover as soon as possible."
Tang Xuan was speechless. He took a few pills and started to recover.
Cheng Xu stood proudly in the first arena, enjoying the attention of the crowd.
Throughout the entire tournament, no one dared to challenge Cheng Xu. Instead, the other nine rings were in a heated battle.
In the end, Cheng Xu was tired from standing in the ring.
Only the battle between Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang had piqued his interest.
Needless to say, Jian Yuxiang's comprehension ability was still good. Yesterday's guidance had an obvious effect. Although her grasp of the Mystic Water Technique was a little worse than his, it was already very powerful.
After an intense battle, he still lost to Tang Xuan, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
After all, Jian Yuxiang wasn't like him, who was covered in clothes.
In the end, Cheng Xu won the tournament without any suspense. Tang Xuan was second, Jian Yuxiang was third, and there were seven other good senior and junior brothers.
It was worth mentioning that even though Miao Changsheng had a difficult time winning, he still managed to take the 10th place.
"Congratulations ~! I hereby announce that the test has come to a successful end."
"Congratulations to the ten outstanding disciples on the stage. You are the pride of the Medicine Immortal Valley and the future of the valley!"
The sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang, announced the end of the tournament in an impassioned manner, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"Now that the demonic Dao is stirring, my Medicine Immortal Valley can no longer sit still and wait for death."
After that, it was time for the award ceremony.
However, the award ceremony was interrupted by a flying sword that pierced through the air.
For a moment, the originally jubilant venue instantly quieted down.
The sect leader, Daoist Master Dan Yang, caught the flying sword in confusion. It was a very common flying sword used to send messages. The material was rough and basically had no killing power.
"Where did the letter come from?"
Elder Ma, Elder Feng, and the others stepped forward.
"Fellow Daoist Tayun of the Yunzhong sect," Looking at the words carved on the flying sword, Perfected Dan Yang frowned.
"Hiss... The sect leader of the Yunzhong sect personally sent a flying sword to me. I'm afraid it's not a small matter."
"Yes!" Perfected Dan Yang nodded solemnly. He immediately removed the special restriction on the flying sword and sent his divine sense into it to check the message inside.
Cheng Xu and the other disciples looked at immortal Danyang with curiosity.
A moment later, after reading the news, immortal Dan Yang said with a grave expression, "According to the investigation of the Yunzhong sect, demonic cultivators have begun to move around in various places in mini Southern Heaven. They've invited the sect leaders of various sects to discuss the follow-up countermeasures."
"So fast?" Elder Feng was secretly shocked.
"It's indeed much faster than we expected." "I have a feeling that the demonic Dao is definitely prepared this time," Perfected Dan Yang said with a serious expression.
After that, he gave a simple explanation of the sect to the elders and hurriedly left on his sword.
The award ceremony, which should have been a happy one, ended hastily.
After the gathering, Cheng Xu, Tang Xuan, and the others went to the cave abode together.
"What should have come has come, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Jian Yuxiang sighed with worry.
"Speaking of which, where did that group of demonic cultivators come from? Didn't the major sects notice anything before this?" Cheng Xu was deeply puzzled by this.
It was as if the demonic Dao had suddenly appeared out of thin air, and none of the major sects in mini Southern Heaven had noticed it.
"You guys don't know." Tang Xuan took over after hearing Jian Yuxiang's words and explained, "The demonic Dao isn't a cultivator of our Southern Heaven, but rather, it spread from outside of Southern Heaven."
"A place outside of little Southern Heaven?" Cheng Xu, Miao Changsheng, and the rest of the group were shocked.
