244: Chapter 137 Full Combat Power_1 244: Chapter 137 Full Combat Power_1 In a contest of magic and martial prowess, each person has two chances to challenge, but after one challenge, most people stop.
They reserve the second challenge as a precaution.
If they have one challenge left and are indeed overthrown by someone, they still have a chance to turn the tables.
If both chances are used up and they are defeated, they have no opportunity left.
After succeeding in one challenge, Chao Zi did not challenge again, choosing instead to retain his other opportunity for the last day, to find a suitable time for another challenge.
As Chao Zi stepped down, the judge below spoke up again, “Four Treasures Peak’s Yi Sheng challenges the 993rd rank, Little Zen Peak’s Wu Wei, with Six Golden Cores.”
All around, many people who heard this exchanged puzzled looks.
“What?
Challenge someone with Six Golden Cores?”
“Did I hear that wrong?
It’s not Yi Sheng challenging the Six Golden Cores but another disciple from Four Treasures Peak, right?”
“Yi Sheng is indeed a genius.
We saw it during the Six Arts competition; she too is one with ten visions on the Dao Platform, ten visions on the Immortal Bridge.
But she has not achieved Core Formation.
To say she could defeat someone with one, two, or even three Golden Cores, I can believe that, but Wu Wei has Six Golden Cores.
How can she fight that?”
“If it were her Senior Brother or Senior Sister fighting, maybe, unless she hid her true strength during the alchemy competition.”
“Hiding strength?
How could that be?
If she hadn’t blown up the furnace during the alchemy competition, she likely would’ve taken first place.
Do you think she would be so mad as to hide her strength to the point of blowing up her furnace?”
“What are the people of Four Treasures Peak thinking?
Why challenge someone so strong?”
“Four Treasures Peak challenging someone from Little Zen Peak?
I find that hard to understand.
If it were Little Zen Peak’s people challenging someone from Four Treasures Peak, I could understand that, because, after all, it was Cao Zhen who swindled a great deal from Little Zen Peak before, even a Fourth-Grade Spirit Field.”
“What’s wrong with the people of Four Treasures Peak?”
“By doing this, even if they obtain the Peak Bamboo, how can the ranking of Four Treasures Peak rise?
They currently don’t even have a single bamboo.”
In the midst of everybody’s surprised comments, Wu Wei was already slowly stepping onto the stage.
Most disciples participating in the competition wore tight-fitting suits that allowed for easier maneuvering during fights, but Wu Wei wore a gray monk’s robe.
“Amitabha…”
Wu Wei chanted the Buddha’s name and slowly said, “Disciples of our peak do not wish to contend with others.
However, the Hundred Peaks competition is the grand event of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and we of Little Zen Peak cannot stay out of it.
Junior Sister, the main purpose for both of us is to spar.
Please, make your move.”
Yi Sheng furrowed her brows tightly, her face expressing disdain.
These monks always set themselves on such a high pedestal.
The disparaging remarks about Master were first started by Little Zen Peak, but they didn’t say it openly and made others say it directly instead.
Now they sounded nice, saying how they cannot stay out of it, yet if they truly did not wish to compete, they could just avoid the platform, not hold the title of champion.
And yet, they were asking her to strike first, because they saw she had not achieved Core Formation.
If it were her Senior Brother or Senior Sister, let’s see if they dare to ask them to move first.
In the words of Master, these monks were just having it both ways.
Looming with disdain, Yi Sheng looked towards Wu Wei, and behind her, ten visions of the Great Perfection Dao Platform and ten visions of the Great Perfection Immortal Bridge appeared.
In her hands, the Array Plate surfaced as well.
From a distance, disciples who had only left the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace fifteen days before the Hundred Peaks competition immediately cast their eyes upon the Array Plate.
“This is…
the Unparalleled Formation Plate!”
“During the fight between Ling Xi and Senior Brother Zi Xuan, it was this Array Plate that was used.
Did Ling Xi give the Array Plate to Yi Sheng?”
“Impossible.
Ling Xi is stronger, and the most powerful artifacts should be given to the strongest one to ensure a higher ranking and more bamboo stakes.
During the competition, an artifact cannot be used by two people.
If Ling Xi’s Array Plate was handed over to Yi Sheng, then Ling Xi wouldn’t be able to use it.
The people of Four Treasures Peak would not give Ling Xi’s artifact to the weaker Yi Sheng.”
“So, there must be more than one of these Array Plates.”
“How terrifying is that Array Plate, and how many does Four Treasures Peak have?”
Around the area, some unknowing disciples, upon hearing this, asked curiously, “What’s this so-called Array Plate, some extremely terrifying artifact?”
“Extremely terrifying!
Just wait and see Yi Sheng use it, then you’ll know,” said a disciple from the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace who couldn’t help but gaze in the direction of Four Treasures Peak and Ling Xi, remembering the scene when Ling Xi defeated Zi Xuan.
The memory of that battle still terrified him; Senior Brother Zi Xuan was a Nine Pills expert, possessing a Divine Weapon, yet he had not an iota of resistance against Ling Xi.
The Supreme Unparalleled Formation quickly opened up, spreading outwards, covering the entire platform.
Wu Wei, who had always presented a peaceful and uncompetitive face, suddenly changed his expression as the Array Plate unfolded.
The moment it spread, he felt as though the ground beneath him had abruptly altered.
It felt like he was not standing on the platform but at the mouth of a volcano, surrounded by scorching heat that invaded incessantly, burning his mind and making it uncomfortable.
Moreover, there seemed to be invisible hands formed from the intense heat around him, tightly binding him.
