Chapter 869 - 86: Old Wang’s Unmatched Barrage

Chapter 869: Chapter 86: Old Wang’s Unmatched Barrage

Ten Thousand Rooster Hall and Gang Refining Hall may be Cultivation Sects, but after all, they focus on Artifact Refining, making them more skilled in dealing with people than other Sects. They’re also quite polite to Wang Zhigao, naturally, given his seniority and strength, he deserves it. Wang Zhigao’s realm is definitely higher than theirs.

Wang Zhigao always kept a stern expression, as if he found everyone disagreeable.

"Why does he always look like everyone owes him money wherever he goes? I don’t think even Elder Tang Feng and Elder Kui Ma’s good tempers can endure him. To be safe, let him try one or two matches, and if it doesn’t work, advise him to withdraw." Yun Yu said with a soft frown.

"It’s impossible, he signed for ten days at once, the money is already paid, whether we use it or not, the money has to be spent." Yun Le said with a bitter smile.

"How could you sign like this!"

"I was so focused on securing him that I forgot about this bit." Yun Le said, somewhat embarrassed, sticking out her tongue.

"He’s really short on money, Martial Heart Sect’s situation is very poor, the Sect itself has lost its ability to rejuvenate, he might have to use his own Spirit Stones to cover the expenses, this old guy has jumped into the pit."

As usual, before the match started, there was a performance by the female disciples of Jiuxiao Sect. The performance was wonderful, but no matter how wonderful watching the same performance daily gets dull, especially when it’s just artistry without enticing the senses, they had to focus on other aspects. Today’s martial ensemble is quite strong, elite disciples from different major Sects participated.

The first match was between red list contenders from Thunderbolt Hall and Sea Tide Sect. Although these two didn’t ultimately stay in the annual top ten in the final ranking, they both reached top ten on the red list before, such contenders are known as red list contenders.

The two had an extremely exciting battle, with Wandik from Thunderbolt Hall narrowly winning in the end.

During the intermission, Tang Feng and Kui Ma gave a review, praising the features of the two. As the elite contenders of two Yellow-level Sects, they indeed had strength, and their performance in this match was indeed good.

"Elder Wang, what’s your opinion?" Yun Yu asked with a smile. They spent a lot, yet from beginning to end, Elder Wang remained stern, without saying a single word of review.

The cultivators present all looked at Wang Zhigao. It was fine to complain when he wasn’t there, but in his presence, even Sect Masters need to show some respect. This was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, one of the top five elders of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and a formidable figure who survived missions in Xuanwu City.

"Two worthless fools, rubbish, embarrassing, nothing worth discussing." Wang Zhigao snorted coldly, said lightly.

For a moment, the whole venue was silent, Wandik and Zhao Zhentao’s faces turned livid, especially Wandik who was standing on stage receiving cheers, suddenly finding himself awkward there.

He wasn’t just any ordinary disciple not accustomed to the world; he promptly cupped his fist, looking at Wang Zhigao neither humble nor arrogant, "Elder Wang, this is Jiuxiao Building, not Ten Thousand Swords Sect, oh, sorry, you are no longer an elder of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, now you are what, Martial Heart Sect right? I respect you as a senior, you better tell me today why I’m rubbish, where I’m a fool, otherwise you are just someone fishing for fame, unworthy of sitting there."

Elder Wang glanced faintly at Wandik, "Although Divine Land Sects are divided by Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, in reality, each Sect’s Cultivation Techniques are unique, each has its merits, Thunderbolt Hall follows Zhengyang School, complementing Technique, it’s Strong Thunder Skill you pursued today, what was that flashy useless show, Yin Thunder, Weak Thunder, early on you might taste some benefits, but later it’s neither strong nor weak, what’s the difference between you and a roadside dog, what are you so pleased about here."

With one remark, Wandik’s face turned pale. Strong Thunder is challenging, Thunder Spirit Root changes endlessly, Strong Thunder is not necessarily required, Weak Thunder and Yin Thunder are more accessible, but these do not fully match Thunderbolt Hall’s Technique.

"And you, Sea Tide Sect’s Sea Tide Skill is drawn from the boundless ocean, specializing in endurance battles; facing Strong Thunder is a valuable ordeal for you all, it’s perfect for measuring whose Cultivation is more solid. You ended up facing a sneaky Yin Thunder, a match you could have won blindfolded, still lost, why don’t you jump into the sea, embarrassing here too, just get lost!" Wang Zhigao said looking at Zhao Zhentao who was still holding his neck stiffly.

Whether on stage with Wandik, or below with Zhao Zhentao, both were flushed red, cupping hands to Wang Zhigao, sulking and disappearing into the crowd.

Wang Zhigao snorted coldly, glancing upward, seemingly pondering why he foolishly sat here, seeing these stupid things, still having to explain.

Tang Feng and Kui Ma exchanged a look, both realizing Wang Zhigao’s discomfort; they felt a bit better.

Despite being Golden Core Elders too, they both primarily involved in Artifact Refining and Alchemy, although having Cultivation, to reach Wang Zhigao’s level of strength and insight is rare even across Divine Land, if not for Wang Zhigao being a tiger fallen from grace, otherwise he wouldn’t be sitting here.

The second match had Zuo Feng from Sun Hall and Xie Yunyi from Yin Yang Sect (Cyan Dragon Sub-Sect) entering the stage.

These two are also red list contenders, among them Zuo Feng of Sun Hall currently ranks eighth on this year’s red list. Under the stimulation of the previous match, both performed exceptionally well, Zuo Feng from Sun Hall endured the bizarre Whip Technique from Yin Yang Sect, opting for a mutual injury approach to defeat Xie Yunyi.

"Zuo Feng’s Spear Technique has greatly improved, the choice of Combat Technique was also very good, not giving Xie Yunyi too many chances." Tang Feng said stroking his beard.

"Xie Yunyi was somewhat impulsive, knowing the opponent before the match, but did not choose a good tactic, clearly knowing the opponent would press and even swap injuries, yet still fell to the opponent’s rhythm, losing without grievance." Kui Ma said.

Victorious Zuo Feng and Xie Yunyi remained respectfully standing, the defeated Xie Yunyi did not immediately leave the stage, both looking towards Wang Zhigao.

Beside them, Yun Yu clear her throat a few times, "Elder Wang, what do you think of them..."

"Zuo Feng, your Spear Technique is astray, having surplus skill but lacking spear intent; Sunburst Spear Technique was once among Divine Land’s top ten spear techniques alongside Tyrant Spear, your talent is okay, but it may not reach your Sect’s former heights; however, if you continue astray, in less than three years, you’ll become indistinguishable from the crowd, don’t call it Sunburst Spear anymore, switch to calling it Embroidery Needle." Wang Zhigao said.

Zuo Feng’s face flushed red, but aware of his own shortcomings, Tyrant Spear now reigns as Divine Land’s top spear, with spear intent dominating, while the once equally renowned Sunburst Spear cannot even compare now.

Having finished, he looked at the seductive and beautiful Xie Yunyi whose face was flushed with red right after the fight, her eyes were like water, gazing deeply as if looking at a dog.

"Are you a pig?" Wang Zhigao said, upon hearing this, Xie Yunyi blushed even deeper on stage, her chest heaving, glaring dissatisfied at Wang Zhigao.

Wang Zhigao didn’t care, "You fool, you’re from Yin Yang Sect; what’s the point of fighting him, Charm, if Charming Skill is insufficient then undress; fear losing face? If you fear losing face then why the hell are you a disciple of Yin Yang Sect, learned but never used, better not learn at all, you had at least three chances for charm during the exchange, not only unused but hesitated, if I were an elder of Yin Yang Sect I’d break your legs."

Xie Yunyi bit her lip hard, eyes red, but still managed not to let tears fall, deeply bowing, "Disciple understood."

"Get lost, don’t stand there, I don’t have this appetite."

Third, fourth, fifth matches were no exceptions, all caught by Wang Zhigao’s fierce criticism, but he pointed out real issues, regardless of whether contenders accepted or not, Wang Zhigao didn’t care, he just did his job for the money.
