Chapter 552: Chapter 203: Flying Shuttle Spaceship, Magic Battle Arena, Minor Divine Techniques, Requests Arriving (Part 3)

The flying swords collided fiercely in mid-air.

On the other side, two cultivators were rapidly casting magic, one unleashing a fire technique, with flames soaring towards the opponent, while the other conjured a cold ice sword rain, transforming countless beautiful ice arrows, quickly falling from the void.

As both unleashed their magic attacks, they then swiftly executed their protective skills.

Either summoning a low-grade magical artifact shield or deploying a defense technique, their figures constantly shifted like illusions, jumping back and forth, near and far.

Their battle, right from the start, was incredibly intense, like a classic magical combat lesson, with each movement carrying its own rhythm of attack and defense.

Even Zhou Changwang felt he gained quite a bit.

Indeed.

His previous battles mostly involved overwhelming his opponents.

Swift magic attacks, like the torrents of the sea, would quickly engulf the enemies.

And if the opponent couldn’t withstand it, they’d be dead.

Rarely did he encounter battles that seemed evenly matched, where he had to rely on his attack and defense rhythm to carefully maneuver each magic technique, using the slightest changes, to turn small advantages into a major victory over the enemy.

The finer details reveal the true expertise.

Even though both were at the Qi Cultivation Stage level, their combat awareness and innate ability to utilize every advantage profoundly moved him, giving him a sudden enlightenment.

"Senior, who do you think will win?"

Zheng Ajiu watched the duel between them, limited by his cultivation level, as some magic changes only became apparent when fully evolved.

At this moment, in his eyes, Yang Jian, who was at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, unchallenged among his peers, clearly held a bigger advantage, with his attacks being fierce and aggressive.

As the battle progressed, Zhao Ziqiang, at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, was forced onto the defensive, finding it incredibly difficult even to move, relying on one defense after another to block the attacks.

"When combat techniques are similarly matched, the advantage of cultivation level becomes very evident."

Zhou Changwang smiled faintly.

"Isn’t Yang Jian at an advantage now?"

Zheng Qi beside him couldn’t help but ask.

The most exciting aspect of cross-realm battles is when a lower realm cultivator defeats a higher realm’s powerhouse.

Not to mention, Yang Jian was already an unrivaled seventh-layer Qi Cultivation powerhouse, also believing he had the strength to defeat Zhao Ziqiang of the eighth layer.

"His strength, combat experience, and even magic talent are all quite impressive.

But Zhao Ziqiang’s combat rhythm is steadier; don’t be deceived by his current suppressed and seemingly passive state, as his actions remain consistent with a very stable aura.

Unless Yang Jian has an ace up his sleeve, the situation will soon reverse."

Zhou Changwang explained calmly.

Indeed.

With his continuous attacks weakening, as he changed his attack rhythm, Zhao Ziqiang immediately reacted, swiftly counterattacking.

In the blink of an eye, the victory was reversed, and he shattered Yang Jian’s defense technique with a single sword strike, triggering the protective spirit talisman on him.

The victor was decided.

"How is this possible?"

"That was too quick, wasn’t it?"

Immediately, the venue erupted with countless voices of astonishment.

Some even let out anguished cries.

Evidently, heavy bets had been placed on Yang Jian, the invincible seventh-layer Qi Cultivation powerhouse.

The Zheng Family siblings were also shocked, not expecting Zhou Changwang’s precise observation, with the final combat outcome exactly as he predicted.

But considering Zhou Changwang was a Foundation Establishment Realm senior, they found it normal.

Zhou Changwang paid no attention to the admiring gazes of the Zheng Family siblings, instead contemplatively gazing at Yang Jian in the arena.

He could feel that Yang Jian actually had an ace up his sleeve.

At the last moment, he hesitated for a brief instant, yet for some reason, he didn’t unleash that ace, causing the battle to end so swiftly.

Otherwise, in his estimation, even if Yang Jian were to lose eventually, it wouldn’t be until after at least several more moments.

Following this battle, several relatively ordinary battles between cultivators at the same realm took place, including even those of the third-layer Qi Cultivation level.

Regarding this, Zhou Changwang lost interest.

Thus, he left.

In the following days, Zhou Changwang, being out and about early and late, found himself amid a lively buzz.

Of course, he also tasted many culinary delicacies.

Especially certain specialties from cultivation clans, which were popular for their unique attributes.

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that he came across a kind of miniature magical artifact named ’Xiyin,’ resembling a radio from his previous life, allowing countless people to tune into the main store’s voice, where a special storyteller explained cultivation anecdotes and broadcasted news on the movements of various cultivation clans.

Finding it amusing, Zhou Changwang bought one.

For over three hundred lower-grade spirit stones, it was not expensive, but also not cheap for the average loose cultivator.

In this way, several days quickly passed.

The Celestial Essence Auction was held as scheduled.

In fact, long before the auction began, countless news about the treasures appearing were circulating.

Such as the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, and the Blue Spirit Ice Flame being up for auction.

As well as soul crystal stones and celestial crystal stones for refining magical treasures.

There were also various initial and middle tier treasure artifacts, and even ancient immortal sect inheritances, top-level inheritance techniques, and celestial spirit divine techniques.

Spirit talisman treasures capable of exerting thirty percent of magical treasure power, fourth-grade spirit fruit able to prolong life and increase lifespan by ten years, the life-extending fruit.

Even Xu Ruoxian, a second-grade high-level alchemist from Koutuo Peak, was rumored to send spirit pills to the auction, including the Nine Revolutions Life-saving Pill he refined recently.
