Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Chen Xuanji thought to himself and began to watch the stage with great interest.

The two stood facing each other in the center of the stone platform, about five zhang apart.

A breeze blew across the pool, causing both of their robes to flutter in the wind.

Long Yunshuang was half a head shorter than Fang Tianxing, but her imposing presence was in no way inferior.

In everyone's eyes, Long Yunshuang was like a ferocious beast, with a terrifying aura!

"Make your move," Long Yunshuang said in a cold voice, signaling Fang Tianxing to make the first move.

Judging from his tone, he didn't take Fang Tianxing seriously.

Fang Tianxing didn't stand on ceremony. He opened his arms, and five-colored light surged out from his body.

The true essence of five colors—gold, cyan, blue, red, and brown—condensed around him, not simply circling him, but forming a complex five-element formation.

The array patterns unfolded in the air, with five-colored pillars of light intertwining. With him as the array's core, the flow of spiritual energy within a radius of ten feet was under his control.

This was precisely the Five Elements Formation technique that Fang Tianxing had cultivated for many years.

Someone in the stands exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Tianxing actually mastered this formation! He's actually a top-grade Five Elements Golden Core cultivator!"

Fang Tianxing's Five Elements Formation is the "Five Elements Flowing Cloud Formation" passed down in the Fang family.

This formation uses the Five Elements Golden Elixir as its core and the True Essence of the Five Attributes as its array patterns, forming an independent domain around itself.

The five elements flow within the formation, and the enemy's attacks are neutralized layer by layer by the formation. Every strike of Fang Tianxing is enhanced by the formation.

This formation is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring a perfect balance of the five elements in the Golden Elixir. No one in the Fang family has mastered it in several generations.

Fang Tianxing spent decades before finally getting the hang of it.

Long Yunshuang glanced at the array patterns and frowned slightly.

Fang Tianxing thrust out a palm, and the earth-elemental true essence transformed into an earth-yellow pillar of light. With the enhancement of the array, its power was 30% greater than usual.

The beam of light blasted towards Long Yunshuang with lightning speed.

Long Yunshuang dodged to the side, the beam of light grazing her shoulder before striking the mountain wall behind her, blasting open a crater the size of a washbasin and sending debris flying.

The second attack has arrived: golden sword energy. Golden sword energy shot out from the formation, one after another, without end.

Long Yunshuang no longer held back; she quickly activated her dragon transformation.

Dark golden dragon scales emerged from the fingertips, spreading along the back of the hand to the wrist, forearm, and shoulder.

Fine scales also appeared on her neck, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Long Yunshuang transformed into one-tenth of a dragon, covering key areas of her entire body.

Her hands transformed into dragon claws, their nails as long as short daggers, gleaming with a cold light.

She raised her right claw and grabbed directly at the Gengjin sword energy.

The claw wind and sword energy collided, producing a piercing friction sound.

The sword energy shattered, turning into golden specks of light that dissipated.

Long Yunshuang's hands were completely unharmed, without even a scratch on the dragon scales.

"Your formation is good, and your true essence is abundant with the Five Elements Golden Core, but your attack is not strong enough."

This is Fang Tianxing's current weakness: he has the Five Elements Formation, which provides strong defense, but his offensive capabilities are insufficient.

She no longer passively defended, but took the initiative to attack.

With both claws extended, dark golden claw marks drew five arcs in the air, crisscrossing and blocking all of Fang Tianxing's escape routes.

Fang Tianxing spun around quickly, but Long Yunshuang was too fast for him to dodge.

He gritted his teeth and activated the formation, and five-colored light condensed in front of him into a thick light screen, with Wu Earth as the base, Geng Metal as the bone, Gui Water as the flesh, Bing Fire as the exterior, and Yi Wood as the vein.

The Five Elements Flowing Cloud Formation's defensive form combines five attributes layered upon each other, maximizing its defensive power.

The dragon's claws gripped the light barrier, producing a piercing scraping sound, like metal scraping against glass. The light barrier trembled violently, and cracks spread from the claw marks.

Fang Tianxing was knocked back two steps, and the stone slab beneath his feet shattered, but he held on.

However, Long Yunshuang did not stop attacking; she continued to attack, each claw increasing the cracks on the light barrier.

Fang Tianxing could only grit his teeth and maintain the formation, while simultaneously mobilizing his metal-elemental sword energy to counterattack. The sword energy shot out from the side of the formation and struck Long Yunshuang's shoulder.

However, dragon scales blocked it, leaving only a white mark.

In the spectator stands, a knowledgeable old rogue cultivator couldn't help but exclaim, "Long Yunshuang's dragon transformation is even stronger than rumored! The Long family's bloodline truly lives up to its reputation."

Someone nearby asked in confusion, "Just what is the background of this Long family's dragon transformation?"

The old rogue cultivator lowered his voice and explained, "Don't you know? The ancestors of the Dragon Clan were descendants of the South Sea Dragon Clan. Thousands of years ago, a dragon maiden from the South Sea Dragon Clan married a cultivator from the Central Continent, and their offspring became the progenitor of the Dragon Clan."

The Long family has inherited the bloodline of the dragon race for generations, and their family's "Heavenly Dragon Transformation" technique is adapted from a secret dragon method. Every hundred years, the Long family selects its most outstanding member to cultivate at the Dragon Palace in the South Sea and receive the orthodox dragon lineage.

"The Dragon Palace of the South China Sea?" Another person became interested.

"Ancient dragon relics! It is said that there is a dragon transformation pool, dragon cultivation techniques, and dragon spiritual artifacts inside, any one of which is priceless."

"However, the most powerful member of the Long family this generation is not Long Yunshuang, but Long Qingyun! He was sent to the South China Sea Dragon Palace three years ago, and I heard that he has already touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage and is about to break through. He is a true genius, even stronger than Chen Xuanji."

"Those kinds of people are all personal disciples in the top ten sects!"

On the field, Long Yunshuang intensified her attack. She took a deep breath and let out a low dragon roar. The roar was not loud, but it made Fang Tianxing's spiritual sense pause and his reaction was half a beat slower.

In that instant, Long Yunshuang sprang up, unleashing both claws simultaneously, claw marks coming from both above and below.

Fang Tianxing didn't have time to adjust the formation, so he could only use the Five Elements Rotation to forcibly deflect the force.

The moment the dragon claw struck, he dispersed the claw's force throughout his body via the Five Elements cycle, allowing his entire body to withstand the attack, rather than concentrating it on a single point.

This is a high-risk defense method; a slight mistake could lead to meridian disorders, but he had no other choice.

The power of the dragon claw was gradually dissipated, and Fang Tianxing took five steps back, crushing six of the stone slabs beneath his feet. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, but the formation remained intact.

Fang Tianxing was forced back by the shock, but he actually took this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The five supernatural powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, enhanced by an array, hurled towards Long Yunshuang!

Long Yunshuang was forced back several steps, and several small cracks appeared on the dragon scales on her chest, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

She glanced down at the crack, then looked up at Fang Tianxing.

"That's a good move."

The two chatted back and forth for almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Fang Tianxing maintained the formation, with array patterns flowing around his body, the five elements generating each other, and true essence circulating.

Although the formation consumes a lot of energy, he is a Five Elements Golden Core cultivator and can maintain it for a short period of time.

Long Yunshuang's dragon scales provide extremely strong defense and her attacks are fierce, but her true essence is also consumed in considerable quantities. Although she has dragon blood, her true essence is also more profound than that of ordinary cultivators.

However, it is still a bit lacking compared to the Five Elements aptitude.

With Fang Tianxing fighting desperately, the two were evenly matched for a time!

Fang Tianxing had several claw marks on his body, his Taoist robe was torn into strips, and the cracks on Long Yunshuang's dragon scales had increased, with blood still wet at the corner of her mouth.
