I Have A Special Cultivation Talent Novel - Chapter 93
Chapter 93: First Place of Zhengdu Battle
Even the slightest interruption would change the result of the Zhengdu battle.
Because of a single spell cast by Chen Jingzhai, others quickly overtook Qiao Haisheng.
No matter how furious he was, he had no choice but to accept the outcome.
All he could do to not humiliate himself even further was to do his best to catch up to others.
Not only did Qiao Haisheng not expect such a result, but the crowd was stunned as well.
They did not expect Chen Jingzhai to have mastered the five elements spell and that it could be so hard to get rid of.
Although the spell didn’t do much damage, it was extremely adaptable to different situations.
Everyone only knew Chen Jingzhai as a genius elixir alchemist.
He had left such an impression on other people because of his high efficiency in producing high-quality Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
That was why they were surprised to see him using the five elements spell to such an extent.
…
Some were even shocked by his performance.
Chen Jingzhai wasn’t even affected by Qiao Haisheng’s attempt to slow him down. He wasn’t angered by it either.
He was sure that his spell was more than enough to teach the disciple of the sword branch a lesson.
Chen Jingzhai only had one target now, and that was to reach the stage.
He thought he was the fastest, which was why she was shocked to realize that Wang Yao and Kong Guang, who were both ahead of him, were fast as well.
The two had been fighting each other the whole way without slowing down, but they stopped the fight at the same time when Chen Jingzhai got closer to them.
“My dear disciple nephews, how about letting me pass?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“Come on, Master-Uncle. The Zhengdu battle has always been a battle of one’s skill,” Wang Yao replied.
“The disciples of sword branches never back down.” Kong Guang shook his head.
Chen Jingzhai let out a sigh. “Can’t you guys show me some respect at the very least? It looks like I’ll have to teach you two a lesson.”
Before the two disciples could say anything, Chen Jingzhai waved his arm.
The sky was instantly filled with dark clouds.
The dark clouds gathered on top of the Sea of Clouds as thunder roared.
In just a few seconds, two streaks of lightning were sent down from the dark clouds.
The attack was so swift that Wang Yao and Kong Guang quickly escaped.
However, the moment they made their move, more lightning bolts were sent down.
It was as if the Sea of Clouds was the ground, and the waves of lightning were like trees.
The two disciples naturally slowed down as they continued to avoid getting hit.
The shocking scene even stopped the disciples behind them from advancing.
“Sh*t!”
“It’s only an illusion!” Feng Liuyun yelled.
Out of all the disciples, excluding those from the Dream Celestial lineage, he was the only one who had noticed that.
No matter how powerful the illusion was, Chen Jingzhai was forced to create it in a short amount of time. Thus, others were able to notice that it was indeed an illusion.
However, since Zhao Qinghe from Dream Celestial Peak was close to Chen Jingzhai, there was no way he would tell the others that.
Wang Yao’s and Kong Guang’s expressions changed when they heard Feng Liuyun’s words.
They immediately summoned their sword vapors and sent them into the sky like two dragons.
Just as they had expected, the black cloud was split into two without using any of their energy.
The sun remained bright, and the clouds remained white after that. However, the illusion had infuriated the two disciples.
They turned to look at Chen Jingzhai with darkened expressions.
He had already landed on the stage and had already grabbed the first jade token.
No matter how angered the other two were, they had no choice but to hold that anger in and fly up.
Wang Yao reached a little slower than Kong Guang. Thus, the former was ranked third while the latter got second place.
The results shocked the crowd once again.
“Well done!” Peak Master Yang laughed. “Who knew junior brother is quick-witted as well! He managed to stop the geniuses of the sword branches with just an illusion restricted formation! Amazing!”
It had proven that Chen Jingzhai was very talented in restricted formations as well. If not, he would never have been able to utilize them so freely.
“Isn’t that the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction?” Hao Feng asked. “It sure is the legacy of a celestial being. The illusion just looked so real that it even tricked the disciples of the sword branches.”
“It’s not a simple illusion,” Mrs. Yang explained. “Some of the streaks of lightning were real. That’s why the disciples felt threatened. That’s the most ingenious part of that skill.”
“You’re right.” The Peak Master grinned. “The Path of Illusion focuses on mixing the fake with the real. Who knew that not only is junior brother talented in the five elements spell but also in illusions?”
“Master-Uncle just brings more surprises every day. But people might start to hate him because of his talents. They might even focus all their power on him during the battle forum.” Sage Hao expressed his worries.
“So?” Mrs. Yang laughed. “The battle forum is a one-on-one battle. Even if Jingzhai loses, it’s because he has just recently joined the clan.”
Even if Chen Jingzhai were to lose, he would not suffer any losses as the battles were fair.
In the end, he was still a young man who had just joined the clan two years ago.
However, no one dared to underestimate him as he was able to establish his foundation in under 100 days after he had joined. It was an achievement that others thought was unachievable.
He would still be respected by many even if he lost.
However, if he won, he would have proved worthy of his position as Master-Uncle.
Peak Master Yang smiled and remained silent.
Hao Feng had the same smile and agreed with what Mrs. Yang had said.
On top of the Sea of Clouds, the disciples landed on the stage one after another.
Qiao Haisheng did his best and got sixth place.
Although he was slowed down a little, he was still a disciple of one of the Three Great Sword Branches.
He was able to overtake other disciples after giving it his all.
The only problem was that he had exhausted too much energy and had to meditate the moment he got to the stage.
Fourth place was Shen Yurong from the Azure Sparrow Sword Branch.
The fifth to arrive was Tian Feng from the Golden Jade Sword Branch.
Taking seventh place was Zhang Kui.
The man with the thick brows activated his puppet secret spell at the last second.
The sudden boost from the spell made him arrive at the stage before Jiang Youning, who had summoned his sword vapor to boost himself too.
The ninth place belonged to Lin Zhiyao from Yunchao Peak, who managed to reach the stage before her senior brother from the same branch.
The tenth to arrive was Zhao Qinghe, who had shown the unique methods of the Dream Celestial lineage.
As for Chu Jingsong, he got 11th place because he had stopped to help Chen Jingzhai.
He wasn’t even fazed by that, as it was something he wanted to do on his own.
The moment he grabbed his jade token, he smashed it into pieces and disappeared, signaling that he had given up on participating in the event.
He had already reached the Complete Foundation Plane, and according to the unwritten rules, participating in the battle forum was not allowed.
Chen Jingzhai was touched by Chu Jingsong’s action. It showed that the disciples of Sky Whale Peak were all forthright and valued their relationships with others.
The disciple’s action would forever be etched in his heart.
From 12th to 20th place were all disciples from the sword branches, Yunchao Peak, Lijiang Peak, and Heavenly Artisan Peak.
There were a lot of disciples from the sword branches this time.
Although most of them were still in the Beginning Foundation Plane, they should not be underestimated.
Zhang Kui was the only disciple from the Puppet lineage to make it into the top ten. His other five senior brothers didn’t even make it into the top 30.
Feng Liuyun remained the fastest among the disciples of Divine Cloud Peak, ranking at 33rd.
What surprised Chen Jingzhai was the fact that the disciples of Blazing Sun Peak didn’t get into the top 30.
As Xiao Yan was still in Seclusion Training, he didn’t participate in the Zhengdu battle.
However, his junior brother, Xue Fan, did and was the 49th to arrive on the stage.
As for Daoxuan Peak, besides Chen Jingzhai, Li Yifei was the best among his peers.
He was ranked 61st.
