From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

"Hahaha, rest assured, Senior Brother Fang, we will spread the news widely, and then they will have to fight even if they don't want to."

Fatty Han was naturally very happy to hear this. He naturally knew Fang Xiao's strength, not to mention that he had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi training and the legendary sword energy and thunder sound. After Fang Xiao expressed his absolute confidence, he finally agreed that Fang Xiao could take 40% of the spirit stones earned from the opening. After all, in addition to organizing manpower, spreading news, and collecting intelligence, they also had to take risks, and there were not many spirit stones earned to be divided up.

Fang Xiao believed that those people would come back eventually. People would only believe what they saw with their own eyes. They would only think that he was being dubbed a genius just to build momentum for himself. He might have some strength, but there was still a gap between those of them who were at the seventh level of Qi training and those who were at the ninth level of Sword Qi or even at the peak. They only cared about stepping on the reputation of the genius sword cultivator in order to gain the attention of the upper-level cultivators.

"Then I'll leave these matters to you. Remember to collect the information of opponents who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and send it to me. Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we be sure of no mistakes."

……

Sure enough, after just a few days, they came back again, but most of those who challenged were at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training. Several people at the ninth level gave up, leaving only three people, namely Chen Jiuling from Yunjing Outer Court, Xu Qing from Tianlin Outer Court, and Zhao Yunlong from Shangyuan Outer Court.

After reading the information that Fatty Han sent over, Fang Xiao was a little surprised.

Among the three, only Xu Qing is a common magic practitioner, and the other two are rare and unpopular cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

Chen Jiuling, who is good at music, is a rare sound cultivator. The power of his sound waves is average, but his attack frequency is extremely high, and includes mental attacks. He is often exhausted from dealing with the sound waves and is injured by mental attacks, which are hard to defend against.

Zhao Yunlong was born into a family of martial artists. He already had a strong foundation in martial arts before he entered the martial arts world. After entering the martial arts world, he embarked on the path of spear cultivation. His spear skills are as fast as the wind and as swift as a dragon. Although he is an unpopular cultivator, he is not inferior to other cultivators.

Fang Xiao thought about it and came up with a plan.

They all brought contracts as agreed upon, and the contents were similar. In Fang Xiao's view, these were all spirit stones and good deeds, so he signed each contract carefully.

The time is set for three days later, and the location is chosen to be the Mingxuan Outer Courtyard Square. After that, someone will be sent to deliver the deed to the person in charge of the outer courtyard.

In a hall in the outer courtyard of Mingxuan, a middle-aged cultivator was listening to the report of the people below. This person was none other than the middle-aged cultivator in the square when Fang Xiao entered the sect, the head of the outer courtyard of Mingxuan, Li Daoyuan, a cultivator in the late Jindan period.

"These little guys are really full of energy. It hasn't been long since the sect competition ended, and they're already making a fuss."

"Then, Master, do we need to stop them?"

"Why stop it? How can there be progress without competition? You can go and take care of it yourself when the time comes. They are the future of the sect."

"Yes, Master."

……

In the blink of an eye, the day of the scheduled fight arrived. The number of disciples who came to the square to watch the fight was even greater than that of the sect's small competition. This was because there was a teleportation array in the External Affairs Hall of the eight outer courtyards. It only took 300 good merits to teleport ten people to other outer courtyards, which meant that each person only needed 30 good merits.

Fang Xiao is already on the fighting stage, waiting for the challengers to arrive before starting.

According to the agreement, he will first fight with the challenger at the seventh level of Qi training, and then with the challenger at the eighth level. This is exactly what Fang Xiao wants. He has to leave some time for the spectators to place bets.

Seeing that no one else came, Fang Xiao decided to start and signaled to start.

Now when he faced off against a Qi Refining Level 7 warrior, he felt like he was bullying the weak. Fang Xiao also tried his best to suppress his own strength, giving the spectators the illusion that he was strong but also limited.

After all the Qi Refining Level 7 warriors were defeated, Fang Xiao finally started to perform seriously.

He had to fight on equal terms with every Qi training level 8 opponent he faced, and would eventually win slightly. After that, he would have to spend some time pretending that his spiritual power was exhausted and he needed to meditate to recover. In fact, with the amount of spiritual power Fang Xiao had, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to not rest.

After finally mastering the eighth level of Qi Refining, Fang Xiao understood that these three were the ones that contributed the bulk of the spirit stones to him.

The first one to come up was Chen Jiuling. This guy was completely defeated by me, but he still took the initiative to be the first to come up and cooperate with me. I was so touched.

In the battle with Chen Jiuling, Fang Xiao urged the high-grade flying sword to let him go the whole time. When Chen Jiuling revealed his trump card and released a massive sound wave attack, he tried to crush him directly. He also pretended to be in a panic and attacked with Jingxiao sword energy. As for Chen Jiuling's proud mental attack, he was defeated by the guardian consciousness without even seeing his soul. Fang Xiao pretended to be pale and unable to support it the whole time. When Chen Jiuling was defeated by the sword energy, he gave him a sense of comfort that both sides were hurt. If the ousted Chen Jiuling knew about his stupid behavior, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

However, what was beyond Fang Xiao's expectations was that Zhao Yunlong took the initiative to jump onto the fighting stage. He had originally intended to put him last.

"Your acting skills may fool others, but not me. You don't have any real ability at all."

Zhao Yunlong's eyes sparkled as he spoke seriously.

"Show your true strength and defeat me."

Fang Xiao was speechless. This guy was different from the rest of the group. He wasn't here for fame. He was just a pure battle maniac. Since he wanted to watch, then let him do as he wished.

After Zhao Yunlong finished speaking, his aura rose. Holding the top-grade magic weapon, the Silver Gallbladder Spear, there seemed to be an invisible aura around him. The spear intent emanating from his body was as ferocious and violent as a dragon, giving a feeling of choosing anyone to devour.

Fang Xiao immediately put away his previous miserable look, and the sword intent spread all over his body. At a certain moment, the sword intent suddenly condensed and rushed up into the sky. The sword intent rushed into the sky and directly dispersed the clouds above Fang Xiao's head. Zhao Yunlong's spear intent had not yet touched him, and it was already disintegrating.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunlong's face changed and he immediately gave up the artistic conception duel. He swung the silver spear in his hand, and the man and the spear became one, like a silver dragon, rushing straight towards Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao wanted to test the power of the Taibai Sword Pill, so he restrained his sword intent and quietly operated the Double Sword Technique. Endless Jingxiao sword energy condensed, and the sword energy flowed into the Taibai Sword Pill like thousands of rivers returning to the sea, merging with the Taibai sword energy inside it into one - the Taibai Jingxiao sword energy.

When the sword energy took shape, it left the body with the sword ball and stopped on Fang Xiao's sword finger. The Taibai sword ball emitted a hazy halo. As the sword energy was inhaled and exhaled, the sword finger and the sword ball pointed directly at the attacking Zhao Yunlong. With a loud bang, thunder exploded, and a blurry trajectory passed by. The sword ball had collided with the Silver Gallbladder Spear.

The Taibai sword ball had no obstacles and turned the Yindan Spear into slag in seconds with its overwhelming force. Without the Yindan Spear, the Taibai sword ball pointed directly at Zhao Yunlong's heart. It only took a moment for Zhao Yunlong to die. The guardian monk had appeared behind him, and a pagoda surrounded by evil spirits instantly blocked the attack of the Taibai sword ball.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xiao immediately dissipated his attack and used his sword skills to recall the Taibai Sword Pill into his body.

The guardian monk is named Yan Tingyun, a fake elixir monk who has completed the process of condensing evil and refining Gang. He only needs to wait for the Gang and evil to merge into the seed of supernatural power, and then he can try to form the elixir and achieve supernatural power.

Yan Tingyun's eyes were filled with shock. Fang Xiao's sword strike just now would have killed even an ordinary person in the early stage of foundation building, let alone the Qi Refining Stage. Is this the strength that a Qi Refining Stage 7 person should have? This is not a genius, but a demon.

"Uncle Master, I still have a duel to fight."

Seeing that the other party on the stage was slow to respond, Fang Xiao spoke up to remind him.

When Yan Tingyun reacted, he was only shocked. He quickly lowered his head to look at Zhao Yunlong who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, and squatted down to check.

Although he was not hit directly, the power of Taibai Sword Pill also injured his lungs and he needed to recuperate well. Then he took Zhao Yunlong off the fighting stage.

Everyone present was so shocked that they stood there in a daze. Is the gap so big? Is it appropriate for you to pretend like that when you are so strong? It turns out you are just here to give spirit stones to others.

"Ahem, Senior Brother Xu Qing, why don't you come up?"

Everyone realized that besides Chen Jiuling and Zhao Yunlong, there was also Xu Qing who had not yet fought at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At this time, Xu Qing's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He cursed Zhao Yunlong in his heart. If Zhao Yunlong had not been in a hurry to go on stage, he would have been the second one to go on stage. With his mediocre strength, he could at least get off the stage safely like Chen Jiuling.

If I go on stage, I'm afraid he will give me a sword like that. If I don't go on stage, it will be embarrassing.

In the end, Xu Qing did not muster up the courage to go on stage. He admitted defeat and left the square in shame.

The disciples from the outer academies gradually dispersed in shock, and the duel against Fang Xiao ended there.
