Chapter 96: So What?

rs stopped to pay their respects to Madam Bi Zhu, but they did not approach her.Big Pearl Grandmother also nodded gently in response to each one, without putting on airs.The headquarters of the Dingha...Jiang Wang took a step onto the weathered dueling platform.

After deducting ten points of skill, the Sword-Testing Stage suddenly rose, piercing straight into the Milky Way!

This was Jiang Wang's first time stepping onto the Sword Platform outside of the Fu Di Challenge. It was strictly speaking his first time looking for an opponent in this Taixu Fantasy Realm.

That long-lost gentle voice rang out: Begin your journey on the Debate Platform, please write down your name and begin your ranking on the Debate Leaderboard.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A sheet of white paper appeared out of thin air, hanging in front of him. At the same time, a brush also materialized.

The paper was thin, but it wouldn't move even when tapped lightly.

The mystery of the Etherial Illusion Realm, knowing one's own name should be easy. But this voice did not directly use a name, but rather asked Jiang Wang to write down his name himself.

Then, when you consider that Zuo Guanglie was already dead, the previous master of the Qingyu Altar hesitated for a long time before challenging him.

It is explained in the virtual reality realm that Zuo Guanglie has another identity.

At this thought, Jiang Wang took up his pen and wrote—"Invincible."

This is certainly not his style. It would be more likely if it were Huang Ajian or Du Yexiao, the former being a habitual braggart and the latter having an inherently violent and warlike disposition.

However, Jiang Wang thought, such a name could better stimulate the opponent's fighting spirit. He used his energy to activate the Sword-Testing Platform, wasn't he seeking a battle

Dugu Unbeaten is not currently within the top 100 of the ranking, so his position is not displayed. Do you want to hide his appearance

Jiang Wang didn't even think about it before choosing yes. Isn't the point of using a fake name to conceal identity

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then he discovered that he was deducted ten points again... Fortunately, this should not be a one-time deduction.

The Nine Ranks Sword Platform is matching...

Match successful!

When Jiang Wang came to his senses, he found himself in a square room. There was a ceiling above his head, walls on all sides, but no doors or windows. The floor was level and the view was unobstructed.

And facing him, a plump Taoist with a round face and body slowly opened his eyes.

"Dugu Unbeatable" He frowned, and the upper half of his plump face seemed to sink in. "Such an arrogant name, but he looks so ordinary. He must be a master."

After the veil of the Illusory Realm obscured him, Jiang Wang's face had been adjusted to be extremely handsome, almost comparable to Zhao Rucheng's. Yet, he only received a mediocre evaluation.

Jiang Wang also saw the name of his opponent in the first match of the Taixu Fantasy Realm—— Zhen Wudi!

The name made his eyelids twitch. There was a feeling of being targeted. What did it mean, could it be that I, the Invincible One, wasn't invincible after all

Jiang Wang's magic weapon, a long sword projection, appeared in his hand, but it lacked the ability to fire golden arrows as it would in reality. Materializing external objects fully required a significant expenditure of energy, which was currently too costly for Jiang Wang.

Then let's go!

Zhen Wudi was still reciting lines on the stage, when Jiang Wangjian's sword flashed, and he shot out like a bolt of lightning.

His swordsmanship was initially honed in the heat of battle. He always strived to be first, seizing the initiative and controlling the center line, naturally he wouldn't waste time.

From being the first in the outer sect swordsmanship to becoming the champion of the Three Cities Debate in just one year, his single sword across the gates of Mengjiang City gave him immense confidence. The aura he possessed had gradually been cultivated.

This sword is like a dragon leaping into the sky, swift as lightning.

"Good thief!" Zhen Wudi scolded even amidst his busy schedule. With a single hand pressed before him, a swirling water wave shield materialized, firmly blocking the sword tip!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Attack me!" he shouted again.

With a swipe of his thick hand, a fiery blade slashed out fiercely.

Meanwhile, vines crawled out from below and entangled Jiang Wang.

A cultivator of the Marrow Meridian couldn't possibly imprint instant spells, nor could they unleash so many attacks in near-simultaneous succession. This meant that this fat man had already prepared his incantations. Yet here he was, acting like a fool, spraying accusations at Jiang Wang for ambushing him.

But to be fair, his magical skills are quite precise and clever.

Jiang Wang felt excited. In the Fenglin City Daoist Academy, he never encountered such opponents. They were either too strong, crossing several ranks, or too weak, easily defeated. He could hardly feel the joy of combat.

His heart was surging, but his hand was as steady as iron. With incredible control, he made the sword stop just short of the water shield, its tip held back by the swirling water waves.

He leaped high, dodging the fiery blade. At the same time, he parried back, aiming to sever the attacking vines.

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His sword, it's too heavy!

The tip of the sword was only wet with a single drop of water, but that drop seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pulling him straight down.

The fat man burst into laughter: "You think this is a water wave shield This is a heavy water shield, little thief!"

The vines had already touched Jiang Wang, and he unleashed two more fire blades, crossing them in front of him with a booming explosion. He aimed to kill Jiang Wang outright and leave him no chance to retaliate.

>

Those ten plump fingers danced with incantations as if mocking the very notion of invincibility.

Jiang Wangyun shook his strength, the tip of his sword shattered, and with a drop of heavy water, it flew away. As he fell, he suddenly rolled up purple qi, howling and surging. In an instant, it swept over the two fire blades and rushed straight at Zhen Wudi!

This is the strongest killing technique of the Purple Qi Arrives Sword Manual.

The purple mist dissipated, leaving only Jiang Wang's figure holding his sword.

He dispelled a phantom with the purple qi of his arrival!

And no less than nine rattan snakes had already intertwined, forming a temporary cage to trap Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang reached out and pressed the barely finished firebomb against the wicker basket, blowing a hole in it. Because he was trapped inside, there was nowhere to hide, and his left hand was also blown bloody.

But Jiang Wang remained unfazed, merely unsheathing his long sword and preparing to squeeze through the opening.

However...

From this opening, one could clearly see the wind blades suspended outside the cage, densely packed and hovering.

Zhen Wudi stood outside the cage, keeping a safe distance from Jiang Wang, wiping his sweat and saying, "Luckily, I almost got overturned by you."

Though he said so, his hand gestured otherwise.

Countless wind blades sliced Jiang Wang into pieces on the spot.

Game over!

Jiang Wang returned to Fudi, still somewhat dazed.

The opponent is too strong!

Heavy water shield, fire blade, entangling vines, illusion technique, vine snake, and wind blade. Nine vine snakes were even combined into a cage, of which the illusion technique was already rare, and the heavy water shield was a Taoist technique that Jiang Wang had never heard of.

He mastered so many kinds of Taoist arts, and used them with exquisite precision.

Unlike Sun Xiaoyan's simple and honest nature, Zhen Wudi, this fat man, appears silly at first glance, but he is actually always controlling the pace of the battle. In this fight just now, every step Jiang Wang took was within his calculation.

At this time, Jiang Wang reviewed the entire process and couldn't find a single point where he had an advantage.

On the sundial, the number representing merit had already reached 3360 points. Activating the Discussion Platform consumed ten points, concealing one's appearance consumed ten points, and defeat resulted in a loss of ten points.

A battle cost him thirty points of skill. To put it in perspective, the lowest-ranked East Sea Mountain blessed land only produces a hundred points per month. With Jiang Wang's current strength, he likely wouldn't be able to defeat the East Sea Mountain blessed land.

At that moment, a fat paper crane came out of nowhere, fluttering and flying to Jiang Wang's face.

Jiang Wang instinctively caught it, and the paper crane unfolded in his hand, becoming a letter:

>

"Dear Brother Dugu, upon reading your letter, I am deeply moved. I have been thinking about our recent battle constantly. Your strength is truly awe-inspiring, and though I managed to win by a stroke of luck, I feel overwhelmed with humility. I humbly request another duel, to prove your might once again."

"What the heck is this Jiang Wang scanned to the signature and sure enough, saw the three big characters Zhen Wudi."

>

This person's paper cranes are even fatter than other people's.

This rhetoric, however, seems to be a way of boosting Jiang Wang's "merit."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The power consumption of the Sword Discussion Platform is borne by the loser. Therefore, in the battle just now, Jiang Wang suffered heavy losses, while Zhen Wudi earned ten points of power.

Jiang Wang only hated that he wasn't Huang Azhan, lacking the skill to scold and cursing was not enough.

At that moment, another fat paper crane wobbled and flew over.

Jiang Wang took it and looked. It was still Zhen Wu Di, just with a different way of speaking——

>

“To be frank, brother Dugu. I rarely encounter such evenly matched opponents. It's been incredibly beneficial! I'm unavailable today, but we can spar another time. How about you return my Feihua Crane for now, just in case we need to get in touch”

Generally, what follows the three words "to be frank" isn't very frank...

Jiang Wang's face twitched, he picked up a pen and paper and replied, "Contact again."

And then, he felt the silver moon mark in his palm leave the illusory realm of Taixu.
