Chapter 241: First Victory! Kyushu Competition! (Seeking monthly votes)

“Are you all ready?”

Zhu Zishun, who was acting as a temporary referee, asked this question when he saw the two parties standing on both sides.

Lin Chenran lightly tapped the slots on his waist that held talismans, which contained five or six of them. He said to Lin Mo, who was standing opposite him:

“Haha, of course!”

During the previous competition, even in the initial melee, he only took out three card slots at most.

This time he took them all out at once and hung them around his waist, it was obvious that he was serious.

Lin Mo acted as if he didn’t see it, and said to Zhu Zi: “Brother Zhu Zi, you can start now.”

Zhu Zishun nodded slightly, his fingertips emitting light, and he tapped his throat. The next moment, a loudspeaker-like voice spread throughout the audience:

“start!”

“Three-sided fire pyramid!”

As soon as Zhu Zishun’s voice fell, Lin Mo launched the Dao Fire that he had started with.

“Tsk, it’s the same old thing.”

Lin Chenran on the opposite side saw this and didn’t find it strange at all.

When you see a magical power that can be released instantly for the first time, you might be surprised for a moment.

However, once any Taoist method is used more often, you can always find a suitable way to crack it.

such as……

“Rain Talisman!”

Lin Chenran grabbed with one hand, and a water talisman flew out from his waist and stuck to his chest, then transformed into streams of water, surrounding him.

It is not a particularly rare talisman and its function is very simple. The water talisman will turn into a raincoat, which is equivalent to automatically adding a protective shield.

“Oh!”

The Dao Fire hit the raincoat, and although it created some splashes, they were quickly extinguished by more water.

Lin Mo’s Dao Fire is released quickly, has a high temperature, and causes high damage, but water just happens to restrain fire.

Combined with Lin Chenran’s natal talisman, the level of all the talismans he uses can be greatly increased.

When it comes to defense, he is a professional.

“Constrain your Dao Fire first, I will slowly grind you to death later!”

Lin Chenran snorted in his heart and prepared to follow the same routine as before.

As an all-round assistant, he not only has many means of attack, but also has many methods of attack.

It’s just that the water system is not as good as other systems in terms of attack methods, which is also a recognized fact in the cultivation world.

It was okay when facing ordinary foundation-building disciples. He could beat the opponents into a daze with a few punches.

But when dealing with a cunning guy like Lin Mo, you obviously can’t act recklessly.

Just when he thought Lin Mo would continue to release the Dao Fire, the other party actually did not move.

“Huh? What’s going on? Keep going!”

Lin Chenran was a little confused.

However, Lin Mo did not continue to cast the Dao Fire spell to suppress him as he expected. Instead, he smiled at him and drew the Dao Sword from his waist.

“What does he want to do?”

Lin Chenran was stunned for a moment, then saw the other party rushing towards him with the Taoist sword in hand.

“Good fellow, you still want to try out the sword cultivation style!”

After being together for such a long time, he naturally knew some of Lin Mo’s previous deeds.

Sword cultivation school…a very peculiar school.

When they learned that Lin Mo had won nearly a hundred consecutive victories using the sword cultivation style, they were greatly shocked.

It’s not that they can’t win a hundred games in a row, but Lin Mo’s operation… is too cool.

From then on, everyone would be more careful when facing Lin Mo.

“You want to be a jerk while holding the sword again?”

Lin Chenran was always on guard, wondering whether the other party would suddenly release his magic from any angle.

Regarding this point, it is indeed difficult to guard against.

After all, no other foundation-building cultivator is like him, who starts his magic from zero frame.

He had been fooled a few times and was now very careful.

The strange thing was that Lin Mo did not use any Taoist magic to attack him until he was about to rush up to him.

“Pure Yang Sword Technique!”

Lin Mo raised the burning Taoist sword, rushed over, and started slashing with the sword.

“You really want to fight me in close combat? Haha, a real man is afraid of no one!”

Lin Chenran felt a little strange, but was not panicked. He pinched a talisman in his hand –

“The torrent gathers its blades, and the raging waves are slashed!”

With a light shout, the attack talisman of [Raging Tide] turned water into a sword and slashed towards Lin Mo.

“Bang!”

The huge impact force caused Lin Mo to stop, and he had to draw his sword to resist the huge water sword’s attack.

Lin Chenran controlled the water sword and started a close combat PK with Lin Mozhen in the Imperial City.

This scene left the audience nearby confused.

Two magicians fighting in close combat? And both of them are holding swords! ?
Are we on the wrong channel?

“Brother Lin’s Pure Yang Swordsmanship seems to have improved again!”

Long A commented on this.

Chu Wange hummed: “Great progress.”

On this point, those who have practiced the Pure Yang Heart Method are the most qualified to speak.

Lin Mo, who had not practiced the Pure Yang Heart Method, was able to practice swordsmanship to this level in a short period of time, which in a sense was already very good.

Chu Wange’s experience in using it shows that the combination of Pure Yang Heart Sutra + Pure Yang Swordsmanship can definitely produce supernatural-level sword damage during the Foundation Establishment Period.

If it is refined to perfection, a person in the early stage of the golden elixir can be killed with one sword.

Last time, the resentful woman of the Qin family was almost killed by Chu Wange’s sword.

Unfortunately, Lin Mo’s Chunyang swordsmanship is not paired with mental skills, so its power is much weaker, but it is still much stronger than ordinary swordsmanship.

“Stab, chop, tap, provoke, pick…”

Lin Mo held the Taoist sword in his hand and slashed out again and again, blocking the opponent’s water talisman sword’s attack.

“Hahaha, Lin Mo, that’s it? That’s it?”

Relying on his higher cultivation level than Lin Mo, Lin Chenran trash-talked and arrogantly advanced forward, which in turn forced him to retreat.

“hehe.”

Lin Mo raised his lips slightly, his expression relaxed, and said softly:

“Qiantian Divine Power: Start!”

“Qiang!”

The sword body made a metallic vibration sound, and a raging fire suddenly burned on the sword, instantly burning Lin Chenran’s water talisman to ashes.

“Oh shit! What a big fire!”

Lin Chenran was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected the opponent’s flames to suddenly rise three feet high.

Without time to think, he quickly retreated and threw out several talismans in his hand to block Lin Mo’s attack.

“Pah! Pah!”

Lin Mo swung his hand back and shattered several talismans, grinning grimly:
“Brother Chenran, don’t run away. Didn’t we agree to be real men?!”

Lin Chenran said he was not convinced, but he moved quickly: “Sand coin, who is not a man? I am a talisman cultivator, do you understand?”

You’re the one who talks the most trash, but Lin Mo is not ready to let him go so easily. He picks up the burning Taoist sword and continues to chase him.

When Lin Chenran saw this scene, his eyes widened and he didn’t dare to look back. He ran while throwing talismans.

“The power of Lin Mo’s fire magic has increased again!”

Zhu Zishun narrowed his eyes and looked at the funny scene of “chasing each other” in the distance.

“Not swordplay?”

Lin Qingyu asked in doubt. Seeing her brother being hunted, she was not anxious at all. Instead, she found it a little funny.

Zhu Zishun did not answer, Chu Qingyun said slowly:

“It’s swordsmanship, but it’s also Taoism.”

“What do you mean? Be clear.”

“To put it simply, his swordsmanship is a combination of other techniques. It may seem like an ordinary sword move, but in fact, it is a mixture of at least three kinds of Taoist techniques.”

Chu Qingyun was worthy of being the pure swordsman with the highest cultivation level present, and he immediately saw through Lin Mo’s tactics.

It seems to only have Pure Yang Swordsmanship, but in fact it also has the bonus of fire-related magical powers. As for the other one… I have never seen it.

“This guy is still hiding something. How many magical powers does he have? It’s really exaggerated!”

Liu Yunmu took a deep breath. Even a genius of his level could not help but admire Lin Mo after knowing that he possessed so many magical powers.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Zishun beside him and said, “Brother Zhu Zi, among us, only you can compare with him in the number of magic techniques.”

Although they ascended to heaven two years earlier than Lin Mo, Chu Wange and others.

However, unless one is a Dao Yuan Warrior, the techniques and magical powers that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can practice at the 2nd level are limited.

Even these top geniuses who control some high-quality resources try to choose the route of precision rather than quantity when selecting magic skills and supernatural powers.

His spells to spread the field, Jing Zifeng’s unique skill of Qi blade, Chu Qingyun’s heavy sword without peak, Lin Qingyu’s violent output…

Chu Wange’s ultimate killing power, Long A’s resistance to attacks…

Basically they specialize in a single route.

There are many benefits to doing this. You can have a stronger combat power in a short period of time, and you can save more time to practice exercises and improve your cultivation. Moreover, specialization is also conducive to condensing Danwen Daoyun…

There are so many benefits to specialization.

This is why there are so many occupational classifications in the Lingxu world.

Even the sect’s elders taught the same philosophy.

But unfortunately, there are always surprises.

For example, Zhu Zishun and Lin Mo.

The techniques and magical powers that are practiced are more numerous and more diverse than each other.

If it were someone else, Liu Yunmu and the others would definitely call him a fool and tell him that he had taken the wrong road.

But Zhu Zishun and Lin Mo, the former was the first in the Liangyu overall list, and the latter is currently the first in the Liangyu overall list.

How to teach this?
……

It is worth mentioning that the battle in the Shuyu space was not recorded by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Lin Mo’s ranking is still first in the Liangyu list.

But no one took it seriously.

The only thing that can be acknowledged is that Lin Mo does have great potential.

If they were promoted to the Jindan stage this time, then Lin Mo and Chu Wange would really have a chance to dominate the top few places on the Liangyu list.

It’s not that there aren’t other rising stars in these two sessions, it’s just that they have more advantages because they have enjoyed the top-grade soul washing pool.

Facing Liu Yunmu’s words, Zhu Zishun did not laugh for the first time. Instead, he shook his head and said calmly:

“I only learned a few different spells, and I’m not as good as Brother Mo. How can ordinary spells compare to divine power?”

There was still half a sentence he hadn’t said.

He always felt that Lin Mo’s ability to control fire and water was not that simple.

Now it seems that this view has been somewhat confirmed…

It turns out that these magical powers can be used in combination with each other and have an amplifying effect.

In fact, even Lin Mo did not expect that the combination of these three would have such a good effect.

This was something he figured out on his own some time ago.

The Pure Yang Heart Fire has high lethality, but it is too single-minded and can be easily avoided by opponents at long distances.

It’s okay if you meet someone weaker, but if you meet someone of Lin Chenran’s level, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.

But the Pure Yang Swordsmanship with Pure Yang Heart Fire and Qiantian Supernatural Power is different.

The three-meter-high fire is waving vigorously and attacking at your face. Are you afraid?
“Pure Yang Sword Technique—Duan Chou!”

Lin Mo slashed out with a sword with sword intent, and a sword energy carrying a raging fire quickly rushed towards Lin Chenran.

The latter was so frightened that he threw out several talismans in succession to resist.

Is this sword energy or Dao fire? I can’t tell at all!
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let him get so close to me. Now he is in a difficult situation.

Although Lin Mo is not a sword cultivator, his current output strength is really not much worse than that of a sword cultivator of the same level.

Just looking from a distance, it didn’t seem like Lin Mo was holding a sword. Instead, he was holding a three-meter-high fire, chasing Lin Chenran all over the field.

About an hour later…

“Oh!”

Lin Chenran used up the last defensive talisman on his body, and finally raised his hand, panting and said: “Damn it, damn it, I admit defeat, is it not enough to admit defeat!”

Just admit defeat, and rely on the market?
Lin Mo’s mouth twitched and he stopped the flaming sword in his hand.

Lin Chenran couldn’t help but say again: “Damn it, do it again! This time, I will definitely not…”

“Shh!”

The Fire Sword did not give him another chance and slashed down with one sword, splitting the chattering Lin Chenran into a beam of light that dissipated into the air.

In an instant, the whole world became quiet.

Then, crisp applause sounded nearby. Lin Mo turned around with sweat on his forehead, and saw Zhu Zishun clapping his hands and looking at him with a smile:

“Congratulations, Brother Mo, for your first victory!”

The expressions of the others when they looked at him were somewhat surprised and a little apprehensive.

You have to know that even if Lin Chenran is a talisman cultivator, he is also a talisman cultivator who has condensed several dan patterns.

Not to mention jumping levels, even the Taoist geniuses of the same level could not beat him.

The sixth level of foundation building defeated the ninth level of foundation building, and Lin Mo actually did it!
So, is it really possible for him to defeat us?

A subtle feeling emerged in everyone’s mind.

Usually they would defeat the monks of the same generation by leaps and bounds, but now someone unexpectedly defeated one of their own rank. How could they describe this feeling…

In their minds, it suddenly occurred to them that after this trip to the secret realm of the Spirit Washing Pool, they would not have the chance to meet Lin Mo and the others for a long time.

By the time of next year’s Jiuzhou Competition, they will most likely have advanced to the Jindan stage and there will be no chance for them to face each other again.

People like Liu Yunmu actually breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

It was okay to be defeated by Zhu Zishun and Chu Qingyun, after all, they were of the same generation. But being defeated by Lin Mo and the others was a bit embarrassing.

“Wow! I’m so pissed off, Lin Mo!”

At this time, Lin Chenran, who had re-entered the field using the Upgrade Talisman, came back unconvinced and shouted:

“Come again, come again, I won’t lose again this time!”

Seeing that he was no longer as cheerful as usual, everyone had the same thought in their minds:
I must not lose to Lin Mo, and I must not lose to Chu Wange, and Long Ah.

……

Until the end, Lin Chenran failed to avenge his previous humiliation and was even screaming in anger.

Because Lin Mo not only rejected him, but also threw those trash words back at him:

[Ninth level of foundation building, that’s it? ]

[A real man never looks back at the explosion.]

【…】

Lin Mo said, “I have never suffered such a loss in the face of a verbal attack.”

As for what happened next, everyone just exchanged a few pleasantries and then took a few hours to cleanse their souls.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the soul cleansing time is over, they will all be teleported out of the secret realm and back to their respective states.

“See you next year, fellow Taoists!”

This is how Zhu Zishun said goodbye before leaving.

It may refer to the activities of the Heavenly Dao, or it may refer to the Kyushu Competition.

In short, at their current stage, these are the only two ways to meet across states.

What no one expected at this moment was that they would meet again soon, and in just a few months.

……

……

Qingshan Sect, sect forum.

“Have you heard? This year’s Jiuzhou Competition will be held in our Qinzhou!”

“Ah? Qinzhou? Why?”

“Don’t you know? Qinzhou made a lot of money this year. Qinzhou took the top spot in the 2nd and 3rd level Tiandao activities, and it was all from our Qingshan Sect!”

“Lin Mo, I know that the results of the 3rd level Heavenly Dao activity have come out? How come I didn’t know about it?”

“It just ended. The one who took the top spot in the ranking is He Lian, the third generation leader of our Sword Academy.”

“Hiss~! This is incredible! So, the venue selection will be held in Qingshan Sect?”

“Uh, no, it seems to be…”

“…”
