chapter 106
Every ten years, the TianBei City Martial Alliance Sect's Rookie Disciple Competition was the center of attention.
It officially began.
The first match was between the number one seed of Wujian Villa, Zhuang Zhu Ji Jian, and Shaolin Temple's Xuan Yuan.
Xuan Yuan was in the ninth stage of the Acquired Realm. After a period of hard work, he was already close to the Innateness Realm.
After all, Xuan Yuan had once taken the Foundation-Building Pill with the blessing of karma.
There was no bottleneck to the Innateness Realm.
He just needed to steadily improve his martial arts cultivation and break through when the conditions were right.
Breaking through to the Innateness Realm was a very easy thing!
On the main stage, the abbot of Wenshu Yuan, Guang Liang, was sitting on the left and right side of him were the abbot of Hengdao Sect, An Ruyun.
Lao Zhuangzhu of Wujian Villa, Ji Yuan, and the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Yuan.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xuan Yuan and Ji Jian, who were standing on the stage.
To be honest, Xuanxin had no confidence in arranging the battle between Xuan Yuan and Ji Jian. Ji Jian was born with a Sword Bone and a perfect Sword Heart.
He was in the Innateness Realm and had comprehended the third realm of the Sword Principle.
He was very strong.
Although Xuan Yuan had the appearance of a young dragon and a Son of Destiny, he was obsessed with Buddhism and had little interest in martial arts.
The gap between the realms of martial arts was an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth.
Logically speaking, Xuan Yuan could cross the gap and fight with Ji Jian by relying on an Earth-Grade magic technique and a ninth-grade martial arts technique.
It was even possible for him to win.
But this was Xuan Yuan, not Xuan Gang!
Xuan Yuan had never had the experience of fighting with others, and he didn't have the desire to compete with others.
He was a person who was obsessed with Dharma and was relatively weak in martial arts.
Xuanxin only hoped that Xuan Yuan would be able to contend with Ji Jian by relying on his Earth Grade Shen Gong. He did not hope to win, but he hoped that he would not lose too badly.
What Xuanxin wanted was to use this Sect Competition to make Shaolin famous in Tian Bei City.
Secure their position as one of the Five Great Sect of the TianBei City Martial Alliance.
This would increase Shaolin's influence and fame.
To a higher level.
What?
Have you ever thought of becoming the number one sect in TianBei City Martial Alliance?
He had thought about it before, but Wenshu Yuan wasn't someone to be trifled with, right?
…
He saw Xuan Yuan and Ji Jian standing behind the stage. There were thousands of onlookers in the huge martial arts arena.
The atmosphere was warm and had reached a climax.
"Shaolin is not bad. Xuan Yuan is of the ninth stage of the Houtian realm, and he is so young. He can be considered a genius of the same level."
"Yes, he is of the ninth stage of the Houtian realm at such a young age. His future is limitless."
"Yes, he is indeed a genius, but it's hard to say whether he is strong or not."
"What's there to talk about? Shaolin will definitely lose this match."
"The Kendo of the Wujian Villa is no joke."
"Ji Jian is young, but Zhuang Zhu is at the Innate Stage of the Foundation Establishment. He has a natural sword bone and has been recognized by the Juque Sword."
"Then what's the point of playing?"
"It's a pity that Shaolin didn't draw well. He actually drew the number one seeds."
"Yes, I hope Shaolin doesn't lose too badly."
…
…
It could be said that Xuan Yuan's appearance on the stage made some onlookers who were not optimistic about Shaolin.
Their impression of Shaolin had changed a lot.
After all, Xuan Yuan was young, and he was at the peak of the ninth stage of the Houtian realm.
This was enough to show that Xuan Yuan could reach the Innate Stage of the Foundation Establishment at any time.
In other words, Xuan Yuan was at least a T1 genius from Tianbei City.
This point alone had added a lot of glory to Shaolin.
However, the one who was standing on the same stage as Xuan Yuan was Zhuang Zhu, the number one seed of the Wujian Villa, Ji Jian.
Ji Jian was undeniably a T0 genius from Tianbei City.
Ji Jian's glory completely overshadowed Xuan Yuan's.
Ji Jian was also at the Innate Stage of the Foundation Establishment.
The gap between their martial arts strength was incomparable.
"Ji Jian of the Wujian Villa."
"Nice to meet you, Master Xuan Yuan."
The two of them stood on the stage. Ji Jian, who had white hair and black clothes and carried a huge sword on his back, raised his hands and cupped his fists.
There was no intention of tit for tat at all.
Previously, when his sword heart collapsed and he went mad, it was Shaolin's abbot, Xuanxin, who resolved it with Buddhism.
Otherwise, Ji Jian would have been crippled.
Over the past few days in Shaolin, Ji Jian had been influenced by what he heard and saw. His admiration for Shaolin and Buddhism grew.
He was also very close to Shaolin.
They got along very well.
"Amitabha."
"I'm Xuan Yuan. Please, Almsgiver."
After saying the name of Buddha, Xuan Yuan also bowed slightly.
It was a very decent and dignified gesture.
Immediately, Ji Jian, who had white hair and black clothes, pulled out the huge sword on his back. His whole temperament instantly became sharp and threatening.
He was like a sword out of its scabbard.
The Gang Qi around him was fierce. Under the surging strength, Ji Jian took a step and flew up, waving the gigantic sword in his hand.
His sword slashed out with a majestic sword aura.
The terrible sword light slashed toward Xuan Yuan.
A strong Gang Qi surged out of Xuan Yuan's body, forming a Protective Gang Qi with unparalleled defense and endless vitality.
It lingered around him.
Under the full operation of the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Changing Skill, Xuan Yuan's body exuded a pure and strong Buddhist aura.
The Sword Radiance slashed out and slashed at Xuan Yuan's Protective Upstanding Qi in a domineering manner.
Under the surge, gusts of wind were set off.
Under this impact, Xuan Yuan was forced back four or five steps before he was able to resist the sharpness.
"Take this!"
With a fierce shout, Ji Jian swung the huge sword again. The sword intent was like a surging river.
Sword Qi, Sword Momentum, and Sword Light slashed out one after another.
On Xuan Yuan's body, there seemed to be endless Protective Gang Qi, which continuously formed a one-foot wall of Qi.
It kept increasing to three feet, and then four feet …
It was endless, as if Xuan Yuan's internal Qi would never be exhausted …
The Protective Gang Qi of extreme Yang forcibly defended against Ji Jian's continuous attacks.
The most incredible thing was that Xuan Yuan not only defended against Ji Jian's Sword Momentum attack.
The Protective Gang Qi on his body became thicker and thicker.
His aura was still so righteous.
It was so vast and had such a Buddhist aura. It was an authentic Buddhist internal Skill.
What did it mean?
Not only was Ji Jian unable to break Xuan Yuan's defense, but Xuan Yuan's defense was getting stronger and stronger.
When the Qi wall of Xuan Yuan's Protective Gang Qi reached five feet …
As Xuan Yuan waved his hand, he continuously slapped out Palm Shadows.
The dense Palm Shadows began to counterattack.
The ninth-grade cultivation method, Prajna Merciful Palm, had an endless stream of internal Qi, and the dense Palm Shadows stirred the five-feet Qi wall.
One palm strike after another, a concentrated attack of palm strikes flew towards Ji Jian.
Bang, bang, bang …
Ji Jian was in the air, waving his huge sword. He kept blocking with Sword Qi, Sword Momentum, and Sword Light …
For a moment, Ji Jian could not break Xuan Yuan's five-feet Qi wall defense.
And Xuan Yuan could not do anything to Ji Jian.
They were actually tied in the fighting arena.
"This is an Earth Grade internal Skill!"
Guang Liang, the abbot of Wenshu Yuan, gasped and looked at Xuan Yuan on the stage in disbelief.
"And the ninth-grade martial arts technique. This internal Skill, this martial arts technique, the aura is an authentic Buddhist martial arts technique."
He saw Xuan Yuan on the stage condensing a five-feet Qi wall with an endless stream of internal Qi.
The pure and vast Buddhist internal Skill aura.
Guang Liang, the abbot of Wenshu Yuan, was amazed, and a touch of envy flashed in his eyes.
An Earth Grade Skill!
In the whole Tianbei City, only Wenshu Yuan had an Earth Grade Golden Buddha Armor, and the Heng Dao Sect's Earth Grade Skill Water Cloud Technique.
He did not expect that the little Shaolin also had an Earth Grade Skill.
And it was the purest and most authentic Buddhist Skill.
A trace of jealousy rose in Guang Liang's heart. How could the little Shaolin have such a transcendent martial arts foundation?
How could Shaolin be worthy?
