Chapter 6 Let Two Chase Three, A Miracle is Born

"This battle is won by Misty Sect,"

Steward Zhou cast a glance at the mottled face disciple who looked as if he had just returned from coal mining; seeing him stiff all over, the disciple was likely to be bedridden for at least half a month, so Steward Zhou declared the result directly.

"Sect Master Uncle, I won!"

Li Jiaojiao excitedly threw herself into Ye Feng's arms, causing the male disciples from various sects to brim with envy and jealousy.

They really wanted to say three words:

Why him!

An unworthy sect leader with no cultivation level, other than being a bit more handsome, what made him better than themselves?

"Misty Sect, don't celebrate too early. According to the best of five rounds system, you've only won two battles. In this final battle, I will let you know what being formidable is,"

Si Taijian leapt up and heavily stomped onto the stage, causing it to 'crack' and dent with the impact.

"Sect Master Uncle, I'm going,"

Huo Yunjie shed his robe and leapt onto the stage.

He could be considered one with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, dignified in appearance, and moreover, he stood at a towering height of 1.85 meters, the tallest member of Misty Sect.

"Wow! Huo Yunjie from Misty Sect is quite handsome too, we sisters are in luck,"

Came the cries from a sect composed entirely of young women, who kept throwing coquettish glances toward the stage.

"What's the use of being handsome? In a while, I'll have the whole Misty Sect packing up and leaving!"

Si Taijian sneered crookedly.

Huo Yunjie remained silent, extended his hand forward with palm face down, already displaying the "Iron Shield Technique" at Minor Achievement stage.

This was the final battle; there was no need to hide his true power.

And after the previous two surprise attacks, Si Taijian, the genius, was surely well-guarded against them, and using the same tactics would surely be ineffective.

So Huo Yunjie decided to follow the brand-new tactics arranged by Ye Feng.

One word: Charge!

Seeing this, Si Taijian chuckled and said,

"Minor Achievement stage of the "Iron Shield Technique"… I don't believe you aren't hiding something, let me guess; your "Iron Shield Technique" has reached Major Achievement, hasn't it?"

But he wasn't panicked, instead he reached out and grasped a long spear condensed from flames.

"It's a First Grade Spell, the "Fire Spear Technique", and he's actually cultivated it to Major Achievement!"

"Misty Sect's Huo Yunjie is probably no match for him."

"This is the deciding battle for which side will stay or leave; Si Taijian won't hold back. Even if Huo Yunjie's spells are strong, his cultivation level is still weaker."

The disciples from various sects discussed amongst themselves.

They didn't favor Huo Yunjie, even though he was the only cultivator of Misty Sect who had reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement.

"You guessed it,"

Upon hearing Si Taijian's words, Huo Yunjie's hand trembled slightly as the dark shield before him became more solid.

This was the hallmark of the "Iron Shield Technique" reaching Major Achievement.

"How on earth do the disciples of Misty Sect cultivate? Every one of them has at least one spell at Major Achievement stage, it's simply monstrous!"

"I had no idea until I saw it today, but now I'm truly shocked at how formidable the little-known Misty Sect is."

Huo Yunjie's "Iron Shield Technique" reaching Major Achievement once again sparked lively discussions among the disciples from various sects.

"It really is at Major Achievement!"

"However, it shouldn't be just that. Have you also reached at least Minor Achievement with the "Wind Spirit Steps" and "Fire Cloud Palm"?"

Si Taijian said, his voice grim.

He stood holding the fire spear, not launching an attack, but lowered his posture, akin to a hunting leopard about to pounce, with even a flicker of firelight in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the discussions among the crowd gradually quieted down.

They could hardly believe that the disciples of Misty Sect were such prodigies, having cultivated First Grade Spells to Major Achievement.

Leaving cultivation levels aside, in this respect, they were comparable to the sect leaders of the lower-rank sects.

Listening to Si Taijian's guessing, Huo Yunjie didn't deny it. His left hand held the light shield, his right hand ignited with flames, his body was wrapped in a soft glow, and whirlwinds appeared around his legs.

"He really has trained three spells to Major Achievement, that's just twisted!"

"Is this really a disciple at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement?"

"I feel like he could come to our sect to be an Elder of Passing Power, specifically teaching disciples how to cultivate spells."

The disciples from various sects burst into heated discussions.

Steward Zhou stared wide-eyed: "This disciple really is a talent, he could easily join other sects, even as a direct disciple, not just stay in Misty Sect."

Watching this scene, Si Taijian's eyes narrowed: "All three spells at Major Achievement!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish him off,"

Under the stage, an impatient urging voice came from Zhao Dajiang, the Sect Leader of the Scarlet Serpent Sect.

Si Taijian shouted loudly as he thrust out the Flame Spear, which had reached Major Achievement. With his Qi Refinement Fifth Layer cultivation level, even if Huo Yunjie had brought the Iron Shield Technique to Major Achievement, he couldn't block it.

But Huo Yunjie wasn't foolish.

He didn't try to forcefully resist, but instead used the Wind Spirit Step at Major Achievement to dodge, then repelled the Flame Spear with the Iron Shield Technique, and finally, his burning palm struck towards Si Taijian's chest.

The entire process was executed in one go, giving Si Taijian no chance to react.

But Si Taijian wasn't easy to deal with.

He held the Flame Spear and spun in place, forming a shield that with a "bang" repelled Huo Yunjie's palm.

Both were knocked back, but they continued to fight.

Huo Yunjie nimble executed three Major Achievement Spells, successfully dragging out the fight with Si Taijian.

"Huo Yunjie can actually hold his own against Si Taijian, this is incredible!"

The disciples of various sects exclaimed.

In the nearby mountains, there were over a dozen sects, and although the most famous was not the Scarlet Serpent Sect, many people knew Si Taijian from the Scarlet Serpent Sect.

This person had long reached Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, was unruly and untamed, and was considered the top among the younger generation in the nearby regions.

Even looking at the whole Whitefloat City, he was considered a genius.

But now, this genius could only fight to a standstill against Huo Yunjie who was one cultivation level lower.

This left everyone feeling incredibly surprised.

"The Misty Sect is going to lose,"

sighed a Sect Leader from a certain sect.

Zhao Dajiang, the Sect Leader of the Scarlet Serpent Sect, laughed with triumph.

Steward Zhou, in charge of hosting, also shook his head slightly.

Clearly, none of them had high hopes for Huo Yunjie.

"Why is this?"

A certain disciple asked, mustering up the courage.

"Huo Yunjie is only at Qi Refinement Fourth Layer, inherently at a disadvantage. Now he is simultaneously casting three spells, and although it seems like he can contain Si Taijian, the consumption is too great; he won't last long,"

explained the Sect Leader from before.

"So that's the reason!"

The disciples from various sects suddenly understood.

They noticed that Si Taijian's breathing was even, while Huo Yunjie's face had already turned slightly pale.

Clearly, Huo Yunjie couldn't hold on much longer!

"The Second Senior Brother seems not to be the match; what should we do?" Li Jiaojiao was so anxious she was almost crying.

"Second Junior Brother, you can't give up!"

Shi Lei clenched his fists, wishing he could get on stage to help.

Ye Feng watched the battle on the stage and also sensed the bad turn, but now, everything depended on Huo Yunjie's own performance; others could not help.

Looking around, he saw that many disciples from other sects were also cheering and shouting for Huo Yunjie.

It seemed that the Misty Sect wasn't entirely without support.

Suddenly, Ye Feng noticed that the Sect's reputation began to rise, from the initial "5" to "7," and kept increasing until it surpassed "10."

And right at that moment.

Huo Yunjie's aura suddenly increased by one-third.

He had a breakthrough!

He advanced on the spot to Qi Refinement Fifth Layer.

Although the quantity of spiritual energy in his Qi Sea had not increased, his strength had improved by a third.

Huo Yunjie no longer concealed his strength.

He dropped the Iron Shield Technique and Wind Spirit Step and used the remaining spiritual energy to cast the Fiery Cloud Palm at the Perfect Stage. In front of him appeared a palm imprint made of flames, as tall as half a person.

"A Spell at Perfection?"

Si Taijian was shocked, hastily using the Fire Spear Technique to defend, but he felt as if he had been hit by a scorching wall, and was thrown off the stage with intense pain.

Around him, many flames were scattered.

Those were the remnants of the Fire Spear Technique bursting and flying out.

"The Misty Sect... won?"

All who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded.
