Chapter 854: Dueling Feng Jin Huang (2/4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
“Using two immortal killer moves consecutively…”
Under the mask, Fang Yuan’s gaze was sharp as a knife.
But he immediately turned his gaze towards the fire in his hands.
“Phew, that was close!” Outside the stage, a female disciple of Spirit Affinity House breathed out a sigh
of relief.
“Senior sister Qin Juan, what was close? I clearly saw first senior sister Jin Huang use two refinement
path killer moves in a row, catching up immediately.” Another female disciple of Spirit Affinity House
was sitting beside Qin Juan, she had a chubby face, her name was Sun Yao and she asked this
curiously.
“Junior sister Sun Yao, you need to understand that this duel is different from what we’ve seen before,
this is a martial duel! In martial duels, the refiners can attack to disturb the other side’s refinement.” Qin
Juan exined patiently.
“Ah, they can do that? It is already so hard for me to refine Gu normally, but if I were to be disturbed on
top of that. Heavens…” Sun Yao pursed her lips, revealing an expression showing that she did not
even dare to imagine such a thing: “This martial duel format is clearly meant to make one suffer,
whoever thought of this is really strict.”
“No.” Qin Juan, however, had an expression of approval, “Being able to resist disturbances is one of
the most important aspects of refinement path. In our cultivation journeys, perhaps one day we would
suffer a sneak attack when we are refining Gu. In fact, many times when we leave the sect toplete
the sect missions outside, because of all sorts of damage that may ur to Gu worms, we often have
to refine new Gu in the wild.”
“Using the same logic, when we are facing a strong enemy and discover the enemy refining Gu, we
would also choose to sneak attack and take the enemy by surprise, turning the situation in battle in our
favor. This is the practical significance of the martial duel format. Junior sister Sun Yao, you also know
Gu Masters have to use all their concentration during the refinement process, because slight
carelessness can result in failure and bacsh. But, when you refine Gu outside, you also need to pay
some attention to your surroundings.”
“First senior sister Jin Huang used two refinement path killer moves in a row just earlier, that was a
risky move. Because the moment she activated the killer move, the entirety of her attention was
naturally focused on the Gu worms forming the killer move. If it were an ordinary Gu Master, they might
have already lost control over the mes and failed in Gu refinement if they had to divert their attention
in activating the killer move. If at this moment, Fang Yuan, that demon, had attacked first senior sister
Jin Huang, it might have caused significant trouble to her.”
Hearing Qin Juan’s exnation, Sun Yao came to a realization: “So it was like that, then that truly was
dangerous. Fortunately, that demon Fang Yuan did not attack.”
Because Fang Yuan had, time and time again, used blood path refinement techniques at crucial
moments, disciples of Spirit Affinity House who disliked him privately called him a demon.
However, there were, in fact, many demons in the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent.
For instance, the third supreme elder of Immortal Crane Sect, Lord Tiger Demon, was a demonic path
Gu Immortal in his early years before he was recruited by Immortal Crane Sect.
The sect that exhibited this the most was actually Spirit Affinity House itself.
Thete Sword Immortal Bo Qing was a person of the demonic path with an extremely murderous
nature, but was reformed through love with Spirit Affinity House’s Fairy Mo Yao, in the end, Bo Qing
was recruited into Spirit Affinity House.
At present, the story of Fairy Bai Qing and Feng Jiu Ge was widely spread, and Feng Jiu Ge was
formerly of the demonic path as well.
Central Continent was sorge and was famous for producing outstanding champions. Once in a while,
there would be some astonishing demonic cultivators and lone cultivators that would shake the world.
To maintain control of the overall situation and to protect their interests, the ten great ancient sects of
Central Continent would recruit these people, it was the best method to effectively retain their authority.
‘He did not attack? That’s a pity…’ Feng Jin Huang inwardly sighed, out of the two lumps of fire burning
in front of her, one suddenly extinguished.
“What’s going on?” People in the audience involuntarily eximed.
“Don’t tell me that demon, Fang Yuan, had already attacked and disturbed first senior sister, causing
half the Gu refinement to fail? This demon is too cunning, what attack did he use, we did not even see
it.” Sun Yao anxiously cried out, her tone filled with loathing towards Fang Yuan.
“No, that’s not right. The elder hosting this duel did not say anything, this means that demon, Fang
Yuan, did not attack. So it was like that!” Qin Juan’s eyes brightened as she suddenly came to a
realization, “Originally, first senior sister had put up a facade of using two killer moves, it was a trap
meant to entice Fang Yuan to attack her. If Fang Yuan attacked, his mind would be focused on his
attack at that instant, which would expose a weak point. First senior sister would then have a higher
chance of sessfully counter attacking.”
“My goodness, was that actually the case?” Sun Yao’s small, chubby mouth opened wide in shock at
the battle of wits behind this contest.
Qin Juan had a serious expression: “I was also deceived just now. The truth of the matter is first senior
sister set up a trap, but that demon Fang Yuan saw through it and was not fooled… junior sister Sun
Yao, watch closely, this contest is going to be extremely splendid. The contest between these two is
absolutely the best of this generation.”
“Okay!” Sun Yao nodded, her eyes staring at the stage without blinking.
The ten great ancient sects of Central Continent had always fiercelypeted, not only did their Gu
Immortalspete, the disciples also had a simr type ofpetition.
There was no doubt that Feng Jin Huang was the best of this generation within the ten great ancient
sects of Central Continent.
However, in the contest for Hu Immortal blessednd, Fang Yuan suddenly appeared and kicked Feng
Jin Huang down the mountain. As for the events behind the scenes, they were not exined to
disciples like Sun Yao and Qin Juan, and even Immortal Crane Sect’s own disciples and most of their
elders thought Fang Yuan was a genius disciple, secretly nurtured by the sect.
In the previous round, Feng Jin Huang was defeated, and this duel, in which Feng Jin Huang wanted to
reim her prestige, involved a contest between the best disciples of the ten great ancient sects. It was
a hidden sh between Spirit Affinity House and Immortal Crane Sect.
Thus, almost all of the audience was asking a question — who was the best Gu Master among the
younger generation?
What they did not know was: Fang Yuan had already be a Gu Immortal, although he was only an
immortal zombie, he was already someone they could no longer decipher. Meanwhile, Feng Jin Huang
possessed dream wings Immortal Gu, and had already activated it, gaining enormous benefits.
Bystanders could only see such surface details, but bothpetitors did not see much importance in
the reputation aspect. Feng Jin Huang had already matured a lot and realized what benefits meant,
while Fang Yuan was way beyond her maturity.
Thepetition continued.
Fang Yuan had seen through Feng Jin Huang’s trap, but between Feng Jin Huang’s two killer moves,
small wishful hand was real. It was unlike ‘double action’, that had only been a facade.
With the help of the two small hands made of will, Feng Jin Huang’s refinement speed was slightly
above that of Fang Yuan. And as time passed, the gap between the two gradually increased.
However, this gap was not obvious.
Fang Yuan maintained his rhythm, and using solely Gu refinement techniques without any killer moves,
he maintained the fire and was now almost finished processing the materials.
He used Gu refinement techniques and not refinement path killer moves. Techniques were the
summation of purely skills and experience. They were the foundation of Gu refinement.
“Very skilled! Even though he is the enemy, I cannot help but admit this demon, Fang Yuan, has a very
solid foundation in Gu refinement. Even some elders from our sect do not have as solid of a foundation
as him.” Qin Juan suddenly sighed, after having watched fixedly for a long while.
“He has a grasp of so many Gu refinement techniques, he has used at least thirty types by now. But I
feel our first senior sister is still the more amazing one. She fell back a little at the start, but quickly
caught upter. Now, no matter how that demon Fang Yuan pursues, he won’t be able to catch up. This
small wishful hand killer move is truly convenient!” Sun Yao said, admiringly.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
“No.” Qin Juan shook her head: “First senior sister’s lead might not necessarily be a good thing.
Maintaining a killer move requires primeval essence and also is taxing upon the mind. On the contrary,
that demon Fang Yuan has only been using basic Gu refinement techniques, which do not have as
much of a burden on the mind. As this continues over time, his mind will be less taxed than first senior
sister’s, which will be of great help in theter stages of Gu refinement.”
“Ah, it is like this! Then, isn’t first senior sister in danger? Senior sister Qin Juan, you are saying first
senior sister gained a lead from using a refinement path killer move, but is instead in a disadvantage?
Although your words sound reasonable, how could it be like that?” Sun Yao felt a headache.
“Hehe, junior sister Sun Yao, this is the brilliance of the Refinement Path Convention. You have just
begun your cultivation journey and have yet toe in contact with many things, you will slowly
understand them in future.” Qin Juan smiled, but she was feeling heavy internally.
‘This demon, Fang Yuan, is too skilled. He is keeping pace with first senior sister just by repeatedly
using Gu refinement techniques. Even though first senior sister used a refinement path killer move, she
is not able to create arge lead! It can’t go on like this…’
Feng Jin Huang was feeling some mental exhaustion.
It had not been long since thepetition began, and both sides were still at the stage of refining rank
one single orifice charcoal Gu.
ording to logic, Feng Jin Huang’s should still have plentiful mental energy, and not be in a state of
exhaustion.
However, estimates was one thing, the actualpetition could bepletely different.
Feng Jin Huang could disregard the gazes from outside the stage, her talents were outstanding and
with Gu Immortals as parents, she had been the center of attention since she was young, she was
already used to it.
The pressure on Feng Jin Huang mainly came from Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan disyed an iparably solid foundation, and was relying on just Gu refinement
techniques to maintain pace with Feng Jin Huang, while even though she had used a refinement path
killer move, she was not able to surpass him greatly in progress.
Fang Yuan’s extraordinary performance and formidable achievements made the world overrate his
attainment level, Feng Jin Huang had already been feeling pressure before the duel.
After the duel started, Fang Yuan was in pursuit with a stable speed, which further increased the
pressure on Feng Jin Huang.
This pressure was greatly wearing down on Feng Jin Huang’s mind. She was slowly starting to feel
exhausted and uneasy internally.
“It seems my refinement path quasi-grandmaster attainment cannot match Fang Yuan’s refinement
path attainment. What should I do?” Feng Jin Huang began to think and n quickly, while refining the
Gu.
“I have used a refinement path killer move, my mind is also being worn down rapidly. The duel has only
just begun, and as time goes on, Fang Yuan’s advantage will be even more clear. But if I stop
using the killer move andpete with just Gu refinement techniques, I still cannot match Fang Yuan.
My greatest advantage is therge numbers of refinement path killer moves that I carefully prepared!”
