Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 112 Dissociation
The notice of the duel was posted next to the sword-testing platform.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect used a large blue stone with great ceremony, its surface covered with sword marks, and each name was listed on it.

Pei Xia glanced at it, and at first glance it seemed reasonable.

Changsun Yu and Xia Xuan, the two inheritors of sword dance, were positioned on either side and would not meet before the decisive battle. He and Xu Shangxin, the two Zhen Gang, were also assigned to the two sides to maintain balance.

However, Xu Shangxin is in Changsun Yu's half of the area, while Pei Xia will face Xia Xuan.

If it weren't for the incident of saving Li Tan yesterday, it would be easy to say that it was just a coincidence.

But looking at it again today, it all seems a bit deliberate.

Looking up, he happened to see Changsun Yu in the crowd. He noticed Pei Xia's gaze and gave her a gentle smile.

Then he stretched out a finger and pretended to poke forward.

Yesterday, Pei Xia broke the rules by going on stage, which drew a lot of contempt and ridicule. As a result, Changsun Yu, who was originally gentle and kind, seemed even more humble and precious.

Pei Xia was too lazy to bother with public relations, so he silently gave Changsun Yu the middle finger across the crowd.

Today we only played one round, but because there was only one testing platform, the process was very long.

Those who were able to reach the summit of Qingfeng Sword Peak, apart from Pei Xia and a few others, were basically all experts from various sects, with their cultivation levels at least at the Refining Cauldron Realm.

With an inner cauldron within, spiritual power finds its home, and combat methods are no longer limited to qi.

The clanging of metal against metal, the piercing sound of clashing qi, mixed with the howling of spiritual energy, created a frenzied battle atmosphere on the sword-testing platform.

Xu Shangxin stood beside Pei Xia, watching the duels between these martial arts masters with a solemn gaze.

She watched every performance very attentively, and would even occasionally mimic the movements from the audience or ask Pei Xia about a certain cultivator's control and use of qi or spiritual power.

Compared to when she was in the Snow Swallow Sect and could only passively listen to Pei Xia's stories, she has clearly entered the sect in a real way.

Soon, it was Xu Shangxin's turn to take the stage.

Her luck was still good; among the thirty-two cultivators this time, she drew a cultivator of similar age who was at the Refining Cauldron Realm.

Being able to refine cauldrons at just over twenty years old is quite an achievement, but correspondingly, this cauldron-refining cultivator's realm is not yet very stable.

The two young men put on the most intense match of the entire tournament.

This cultivator who had refined cauldrons clearly had an advantage in spiritual power and kept trying to win remotely by using the power of his inner cauldron.

However, Xu Shangxin's protective aura was exceptionally strong, and streaks of spiritual light shot out, striking the snow-white aura and then scattering in all directions, bursting into bursts of dazzling spiritual light.

In the end, Xu Shangxin, relying on her strong physique and fair skin, managed to close the distance with her opponent, using the Snow Edge Sword to cut through her opponent's spiritual energy, and then held her sword to his neck to win.

This performance truly earned a standing ovation from the audience atop Qingfeng Peak.

Winning across borders is something that people in the martial arts world talk about most, and Xu Shangxin's physical strength, spiritual power, and indomitable fighting spirit have made many seniors happy.

Especially since the girl is so beautiful.

Xu Shangxin was happy, but along with the happiness, she was also exhausted.

She dragged her long snow sword off the stage, only managing to flash Pei Xia a victorious smile before stumbling and falling directly into his arms.

Although she appeared uninjured, given Xu Shangxin's current level of cultivation, the mental and physical energy required to control the spiritual energy for such a long period of time was far too immense.

"I think it's about right."

Lu Li reached out and poked her elder brother's soft cheek: "After the battle on stage, you've shown almost everything you needed to. Anyone from the Lingxiao Sword Sect who isn't blind can see that Master's wife has a bright future."

Xu Shangxin had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Then Pei Xia no longer needed to avoid suspicion, so he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling the girl into his embrace.

Feeling his elder brother's exquisite and soft body, he glanced at the blue stone notice and said to Lu Li, "You really have to be careful."

Lu Li's first opponent was Changsun Yu. The little girl sneered, "Watch me avenge Aunt Li!"

On the sword-testing platform, Changsun Yu was still wearing that gold-embellished purple robe. The tear that Pei Xia had cut open yesterday was nowhere to be found. It was unclear whether it had been mended or he had simply changed into a different robe.

Wang Su, a steward of the sect, went into the mountains to compete for the reward, and he was very careful even when he took out a few Condensing Qi Pills. He, on the other hand, was not particular about such things.

Lu Li also went on stage.

The girl had no martial arts training, so she had to use both her hands and feet, and it took her a lot of effort to climb up from the edge of the sword-testing platform.

The crowd was already familiar with this young cultivator; Lu Li had already attracted a lot of attention in the previous competitions due to her age.

When someone realized that she was actually a fifth-level cultivator, the aura that shocked everyone present was simply exaggerated.

Master Su values ​​knowledge. This girl is so young yet she has reached the fifth realm. Could she be a genius who was born with knowledge?

The match between Lu Li and Changsun Yu was arguably the most captivating one since the start of the day.

With the sound of a gong, Lu Li clenched her fist and clapped her hands without saying a word.

The girl was very self-aware. She had no martial arts cultivation. Not to mention martial arts skills, internal energy, and spiritual power, she was no match for Changsun Yu's dazzling music and dance if she wanted to dodge and move.

Therefore, she immediately began to use her magic.

The little fist tapped three times in the palm, and the spiritual energy in the body began to circulate along a strange trajectory. The vastness of heaven and earth seemed to transform into something tangible that could be observed at this moment.

Master Su's supernatural powers and magic began to distort the world.

"Prove my divine power!"

A small hand reached out, and the space trembled slightly for a moment.

However, at that very moment, a strange feeling that was very familiar to Lu Li began to rapidly invade her!

It was as if countless tiny spiritual tentacles had drilled into every tiny distorted part of the present world, instantly negating all the spiritual power that Lu Li had used to power this "distortion"!

Only a handful of people were present, and they observed that the space on the sword-testing platform, after a brief distortion, returned to calm.

Lu Li blinked her eyes wide.

Nothing happened.

Changsun Yu, who stood calmly opposite him, revealed his signature gentle smile: "Little girl, why aren't you making a move? Are you being modest?"

If other methods had been used, Lu Li probably wouldn't have been so sure.

But this peculiar feeling was something she was very familiar with.

Including Pei Xia in the audience, the master and disciple instantly determined: "Disintegration of magic!"

"Disintegration," like array formation, is a hallmark of a Six Realms Master.

However, possessing this ability does not mean that one can dispel an opponent's spells without limit; in fact, the conditions for successfully dispelling such spells are quite demanding.

First, you must surpass the caster in both spiritual power and computational ability. Second, you must understand the spell your opponent is casting, at least to find the patterns that distort the present world.

To achieve this, there is usually a difference in realm between the two practitioners, especially among seventh-realm practitioners. Because of the existence of the "cheat code," the computing power of seventh-realm practitioners far exceeds that of sixth-realm practitioners, allowing them to achieve "dissociation" relatively easily.

However, even for a seventh-level master, it is still very difficult to instantly detach from the body, even if all conditions are met.

Outsiders might not understand the key point, but for Pei Xia and his apprentice, this instantaneous separation often means another possibility.

Disaster pig.

Below the sword-testing platform, Pei Xia let out a soft breath. It seemed that her feeling yesterday was correct. This Changsun Yu... should possess, to some extent, the power from the Calamity Pig.
