Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 496: Chapter 495 The Power of Bond!_1

Just as Su Mo and Mo Wenli stepped down from the ring, they saw a figure rushing towards them, looking panic-stricken.

The figure was none other than the Sect Leader of the Thunder Fire Sect, who came up to Su Mo with concern, saying, “Master, are you alright?”

“Master?”

Mo Wenli was confused, not having fully understood what had just happened.

“This is your Grandmaster, and my master,” the Thunder Fire Sect Leader explained to Mo Wenli in a whisper.

“Grandmaster? Didn’t you say that the Grandmaster was dead?” Mo Wenli was startled. His attitude towards Su Mo just now had not been especially friendly.

“That was just a story for the outside world. In reality, your Grandmaster gave up his previous cultivation to focus on passing the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. He had several enemies in the past and feared retaliation after disbanding his cultivation, so he made it known that he was dead.”

“If I had known I would be fighting with my own Grandmaster, you should have told me…” Mo Wenli looked at the Sect Leader of the Thunder Fire Sect with some resentment. If Heaven’s Court hadn’t intervened they would have ended up fighting each other.

The Thunder Fire Sect Leader scolded him, “Didn’t it happen because you could not keep your affairs to yourself? Fear of exposure on the ring! What Young Master Lu said wasn’t wrong. Look at what you’ve learned of the Thunder Technique, it’s as scattered as split urine. Go into seclusion: if you can’t improve, don’t come out!”

Mo Wenli’s face turned pale as death.

“Alright, now, don’t scare the younger generation. Little Mo is still quite powerful. It’s just that his opponent this time was stronger. I will guide you after we go back.” Su Mo stood forward to mediate the situation. He was quite pleased with Mo Wenli, finding him a promising talent.

The Thunder Fire Sect Leader looked on silently.

“You didn’t treat me like this in the beginning.”

…

Below the stage, the five celestial kings were radiating an unwelcoming aura that kept others at bay. But this could not suppress their curiosity.

“Those five Heavenly Kings are terrifying. Just getting close sends shivers down my spine.”

“You said it! These are ancient powers. The ancient times were chaotic, and life was cheap. Who knows how many lives these kings have on their hands?”

“Quiet, don’t let them hear you!”

“We’re whispering, they can’t hear us, can they?”

“Better safe than sorry. Who can guarantee there isn’t a secret method from ancient times for intercepting whispers? Just look at these five! Their murderous auras are so thick they’re almost tangible. They must be the types to hold grudges. If they remember us, do you think we’ll have any more good days?”

“But you seem to be harsher than us.”

…

The five Protectors stood like stone statues, undistracted, indifferent to everything, neither happy nor sad.

“Not going to lie, this idea of the Acting Sect Master is pretty good. Using our home court advantage to have Heaven’s Court make a grand appearance. We’ve made the name of Heaven’s Court known. The demonic sect and ancient cultivators will surely fall into our trap.”

The Grand Elder was elatedly sharing this thought. He had clearly seen the astonishment, fear, and panic on everyone’s faces when they had first appeared – it had been a satisfying sight. @@novelbin@@

“Do you think we’ll be exposed?” Uncle Ba asked apprehensively. It felt good to fool people, but it would be a nightmare if they were found out.

This time was different from before. In the past, they lied to cultivators of the same realm, but this time they were tricking even those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

If they were to be exposed, it would be risky every time they went out.

They weren’t afraid of those at the Unification stage since no one could beat them. But if those at Transcendance Tribulation Stage got involved, they could only pray their master could salvage the situation in time.

The Third Elder thought his second elder brother was worrying too much: “That won’t happen. Our Martial Nephew Yun assured us that we would not be found out.”

“Moreover, even if we are exposed, it’s not a big deal. I have prepared a backup plan.”

The four were surprised. The third elder had a backup plan?

“What backup plan?””

“I bought insurance from the merchant association for all five of us. Even if something happens, we can get a large sum of Spirit stones… I won’t speak of this anymore; my disciple is making his appearance.”

“Seek Dao Sect, Meng Jingzhou.”

“Longteng Village, Long Huo!”

Longteng Village was a rather special power. It was both an administrative unit of the Great Xia and part of the sphere of influence of the influential Long family.

Eight thousand years ago, there was a great power with the surname Long. He settled in an uninhabited part of Ji State with his wife, concubines, and servants. No one knew where this great power came from—it seemed like he appeared out of nowhere. Some people speculated that he came from the East Sea and was a dragon man.

The great power had several children, and after he passed away, he left behind a huge amount of cultivation resources. His children also stayed here, continuing to thrive and multiply.

Thanks to the resources left by the great power and the decent talents of his children, the family didn’t decline over time.

With generations of inheritance, outsiders begin to call them the Dragon Family of Ji State, and they became an influential family.

Gradually, this place took shape. Local officials came for inspection and deemed it suitable as a village. They reported it, and the superiors established it as a village. In respect for the Long Family’s wishes, this place was named Longteng Village.

The village leader of Longteng Village, was the Clan Leader of the Long Family.

Long Huo was the son of the former Clan Leader of the Long Family. Although he was suppressed by the current Clan Leader in his childhood, as his talent began to shine, he became the most gifted person in Longteng Village. The current Clan Leader had no choice but to stop suppressing him.

Long Huo activated his Golden Core, coating his body with a thin layer of water membrane which could resist attacks to a certain extent. His was a water attribute Golden Core, the First-grade quality.

“Soaring Dragon Strike!”

Like a soaring dragon, Long Huo moved swiftly across the stage, leaving afterimages. His speed so fast that even Spiritual Sense could hardly determine his position.

He moved behind Meng Jingzhou, and while Meng Jingzhou was unresponsive, he delivered a chop towards his neck.

“Got him!”

He was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that the opponent had let down his guard.

Who would have thought, Meng Jingzhou slightly swayed his body and dodged the sneak attack.

“What!”

He should not have seen himself.

Meng Jingzhou yawned indifferently, not really impressed with this opponent.

Long Huo persisted, once again using the Soaring Dragon Strike. Endless attacks from all directions approached, yet Meng Jingzhou easily dodged all of them.

Down below the stage, Young Master Lu applauded, the excitement clear in his eyes, as if he had found a worthy opponent.

“Good, truly worthy of being the disciple representing the Seek Dao Sect. If I’m not mistaken, he has cultivated to the ‘Self-Forgetfulness’ realm of body cultivation. Even among the ancient geniuses, no one has reached this realm during the Mid-Golden Core stage!”

The Invincible Heavenly King nodded: “It seems like he has just stepped into the realm of ‘Self-Forgetfulness’, in this realm, without needing to think, the body can automatically evade less threatening attacks.”

Less threatening doesn’t mean there is no threat, If one can avoid an attack, they should.

After Young Master Lu’s explanation, only then did the geniuses below the stage understand how powerful Meng Jingzhou, the Body Cultivator was.

Meng Jingzhou nodded with satisfaction, that young lad, Lu Yang, was quite generous.

Bang——

Meng Jingzhou performed the Shocking Heaven Six Forms, furiously stepped forward, and with cumulative power, he landed a triple-stacked punch, sending Long Huo flying!

Long Huo kept offloading the punch’s power, retreating all the way to half a foot from the edge of the stage, before regaining his balance.

Meng Jingzhou was slightly surprised: “Not too bad, you could withstand that punch, bring it on!”

Meng Jingzhou no longer held back,continuously using the Shocking Heaven Six Forms, driving Long Huo back, but every time he thought he could punch Long Huo off the stage, Long Huo, beyond his expectations, always took the punch.

But even so, Long Huo gradually couldn’t withstand such high-intensity attacks.

“You can’t win against me, you should concede.”

Should he concede?

Long Huo realized the gap between them and closed his eyes with a frustrated look. He was tired after fighting for so long, stuggling further would be in vain as the outcome was already decided.

Is the gap between him and the real geniuses this big?

“Brother Long Huo, you must persevere!”

“Long Huo, don’t concede!”

“You are the man who won against me, representing our village in this tournament. How could you lose here!”

Images of his fellows surfaced in Long Huo’s mind: childhood friends, close buddies, both enemy and friend as the son of the Clan Leader …

It was like they appeared in front of his eyes, calling out his name by his side.

“I can’t concede!”

He bears the hopes of the village, as a representative of the Long Family, how could he concede here!

The referee went to check on Long Huo, who had fallen on the ground.

“Already hit the lantern? Winner of this round, Meng Jingzhou.”
