This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 543: Chapter 42 Still a Bit Ugly_3

They continuously absorbed the newly obtained spells and divine skills, extracting their essence and discarding the dross to incorporate them into the Sect Secret Arts, allowing their disciples to freely choose their paths of cultivation according to their will.

One Secret Technique could be countered, ten Secret Techniques could also be countered, but when the number of the Sect Secret Arts at the Martial Debate Hall reached a hundred, a thousand, how could you possibly counter them?

Moreover, Nether Cultivators were precisely the most diverse in their cultivation system among the six major cultivation schools.

During the “Nine Heavens” era, players even jokingly called Nether Cultivators “Miscellaneous Cultivators.”

They were unreserved, choosing to practice any spell that suited their fancy, hence the saying “no two Nether Cultivators in the world are the same.”

With hundreds and thousands of Sect Secret Arts freely combined by these Nether Cultivators, how many possibilities could there be?

Although cultivators hadn’t studied “permutations and combinations,” they knew it was a terrifying amount.

The seven major Taoist Sects are so named for a reason—how could any of them be simple?

As to why Marquis Luotang chose to set the duel at the martial hall within the Martial Debate Hall, that necessitates a mention of the development behind the Martial Hall.

The Martial Hall gradually became the symbol of the Martial Debate Hall.

The Martial Debate Hall’s construction efforts in the Martial Hall only intensified, and the arena for Magical Combat was continuously modified and rebuilt, becoming the universally recognized, most perfect ground for Magical Combat.

Lu Qingshan and Luo Yi’s battle had the backing of formidable forces from both sides.

The location for the Magical Combat would not be appropriate if set within Sword Sect or Great Xia, but placing it in the Martial Hall of the Martial Debate Hall was indeed the most suitable.

At least in this aspect, Marquis Luotang had done a faultless job.

…

“Heavenly Sin” Martial Hall.

The entire structure of the Martial Hall resembled an arena, cylindrical in shape.

At its very center was the arena constructed with the help of mustard seed spells, surrounded by numerous, well-organized spectator stands.

At a glance, the spectator seats in the Martial Hall were already packed, buzzing with people.

The invitation fight between the disciple of Sword Sect and the legitimate son of a duke from Great Xia was a huge draw, capturing the interest of both meddlesome and concerned parties.

People were eagerly waiting.

“Here he comes, that’s Luo Yi!” someone quietly exclaimed.

At that moment, two male cultivators slowly entered the Martial Hall.

The one on the left had an exceedingly rugged appearance, in stark contrast to the handsomely featured male cultivator on the right.

“Which one is Luo Yi?” an onlooker among the cultivators curiously asked.

“The handsome one is Luo Yi’s father, Marquis Luotang,” a knowledgeable female cultivator whispered quietly, “The ugly one, that’s Luo Yi.”

“….”

“Ugly Man” Luo Yi had a robust and powerful build, walking with a dragon’s stride and a tiger’s steps, his jet-black hair wildly scattered. He stepped forward with a commanding presence and finally stood in front of the arena, quietly waiting.

“Upon closer inspection, Luo Yi doesn’t seem that ugly,” that same female cultivator muttered quietly at this moment.

“Indeed, although Luo Yi’s appearance is rough, coupled with that aura, there is a type of masculine beauty,” a body cultivator chimed in, “A strong physical body is the most attractive!”

While speaking, this body cultivator subtly flexed his muscles to show the female cultivator nearby.

“There’s some truth to that.” The female cultivator observed Luo Yi and didn’t notice the muscle show by the body cultivator brother beside her; she nodded slightly.

“…”

Marquis Luotang followed Luo Yi into the Martial Hall and, after Luo Yi positioned himself and was ready, Marquis Luotang leapt up and headed toward the highest seating section among the spectator stands.

There, several cultivators with relaxed expressions and subdued auras were chatting casually.

These were all cultivators from Great Xia.

They mostly held a neutral stance, belonging neither to Xia Daojing’s faction nor to Xia Daoyun’s side.

In fact, among the cultivators in Great Xia, these neutrals were the majority.

If he could suppress Xia Daoyun’s reputation in their minds, or even make them vaguely critical of Xia Daoyun, that was the outcome he most desired to see.

As long as he could confirm that Lu Qingshan had ambushed the cultivator Gui Yuan True Venerable from Great Xia, and then pull Xia Daoyun down with him, these neutral cultivators in Great Xia would inevitably harbor some dislike toward Xia Daoyun!

This was his well-calculated scheme.

Marquis Luotang merely greeted everyone before taking his seat, without showing any ostentatious flattery, which would only disgust people.

Even if networking was necessary, it had to wait until after Luo Yi’s victory, which would be the most suited timing.

…

One of the main characters of this grand event had arrived, and everyone was waiting for the other protagonist to make an entrance.

Lu Qingshan didn’t keep them waiting too long.

Although making Luo Yi wait a bit longer might have sparked impatience in his heart, and possibly lead to hastiness during the fight,

he disdained to rely on such petty tactics to suppress Luo Yi.

Luo Yi was simply not worth it.

“Lu Qingshan is here too!” someone suddenly shouted at this moment.

Whoosh!

An Escaping Light appeared, and then, as the light converged, a male cultivator with an elegant and spirited demeanor and handsome features appeared before everyone.

It was Lu Qingshan.

He walked with agile and steady steps up to the arena, standing opposite the robust Luo Yi.

“On a closer look, Luo Yi,” the same female cultivator from earlier stared intently at the two men on the arena, scrutinized them for a while, nodded, and confirmed with certainty, “is still a bit ugly.”
