Chapter 944 - 29: First Meeting with the Huan Yue God Emperor

Chapter 944: Chapter 29: First Meeting with the Huan Yue God Emperor

"You seem to be in quite a hurry." Qian Shui said with a smile.

Mu Qingge smiled slightly and said to him, "Anyway, whether early or late, it’s still a fight, so why beat around the bush?"

This sentence finally succeeded in making the harmless smile on Qian Shui’s face disappear. Those seemingly weak eyes gradually turned cold.

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes, secretly vigilant, and thought to herself: ’This is how the top ten disciples should be in front of the palace!’

The harmless or weak appearance is one side of Qian Shui, and also his disguise.

"Fine, since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll grant your wish. Originally, I wanted to chat with you more." Qian Shui smiled again, only this time the smile held no warmth.

"No need. After it’s over, if Senior Brother Qian Shui still wants to chat with me, I’ll gladly accompany." Mu Qingge said directly.

Qian Shui said with a smile, "You’ve got personality, not bad."

He extended his hand, but there was no weapon in it, and said to Mu Qingge, "Go ahead and make your move. My cultivation is much higher than yours, and you are the challenger. If I strike first, you won’t have a chance to make your move."

Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Qian Shui."

With that, she waved her right hand, and in her hand, a flame appeared. The brilliant flame instantly dissipated, and a crystal-clear long spear was grasped in her hand.

The appearance of the Linglong Spear immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the surrounding floating hills.

"It’s quite a good weapon." The Fourth Young Master glanced over, flashing his eyes with appreciation, nodding and smiling.

The Sixth Young Master laughed, "The weapon is good, but let’s see if its owner can unleash its power."

This is the Divine Land, in the Huan Yue Domain.

The Holy Artifact in Mu Qingge’s hand, at most, impressed these members of the Divine Clan, but wouldn’t attract the world’s attention as it would in the Middle Ancient Realm.

Qian Shui’s eyes roved over the Linglong Spear, nodding and praising, "Not bad, a good spear indeed."

Mu Qingge’s clear gaze fell on the Linglong Spear, and a trusting smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth. She nodded almost imperceptibly and echoed Qian Shui’s words, "It is indeed a good spear."

Even if she encounters stronger weapons in the future or crafts more powerful ones herself, nothing can replace the position of the Linglong Spear in her heart.

"Senior Brother Qian Shui, be careful!" Mu Qingge’s gaze darkened, and she charged directly at Qian Shui with the Linglong Spear in hand.

She didn’t use any magic, so naturally, Qian Shui wouldn’t start by using magic either.

The tip of the Linglong Spear grazed across in front of Qian Shui. Qian Shui sidestepped, his silhouette instantaneously teleporting, initiating the close-quarters combat with Mu Qingge. This was a contest of combat skills.

He used instant teleportation, and Mu Qingge used the Star Beginning Step. Their figures continuously shifted on the stage, each change of position catching others off guard.

"He’s actually keeping up with Third’s speed!" the Eighth Young Master exclaimed in surprise.

The Fourth Young Master sneered coldly, "Third hasn’t really started making his moves yet, he’s just playing with her."

However, they were unaware that at this moment, Qian Shui was filled with astonishment inside.

His speed, even among the top ten disciples, was exceptionally advanced. He knew very well whether he was holding back. This Mu Qingge could clearly see each of his movements, which was why she could keep up with him.

Qian Shui avoided the Linglong Spear and landed on the stage.

He stopped, and Mu Qingge did not attack either.

"I nearly forgot, your divine sense is quite formidable," Qian Shui suddenly remarked, looking at Mu Qingge.

"What does Third mean by that?" the Fifth Young Master looked at the Fourth Young Master beside him and asked.

The Fourth Young Master squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It seems Third wasn’t intentionally holding back earlier but was truly locked onto his teleportation position."

"What? Impossible! Even I can barely see Third’s speed clearly. Just him, a disciple who entered the Huan Yue Domain only half a year ago?" the Fifth Young Master said in disbelief.

The Fourth Young Master looked at him coldly and laughed, "Have you forgotten what happened when he took the entrance assessment into the Huan Yue Domain?"

At this reminder, the Fifth Young Master’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

"To comprehend tens of thousands of principles in an hour and to gain insights from them is not something achievable by mere comprehension alone. It indicates that his divine sense has already reached a level you and I can’t easily attain," the Fourth Young Master said solemnly.

This time, his eyes carried a bit more seriousness as he looked at the stage.

Not only him, but others were also the same.

The Fifth Young Master mumbled to himself in shock, "No... impossible..."

On the stage, Mu Qingge did not respond to Qian Shui’s words. She said to Qian Shui, "Senior Brother Qian Shui, instead of fighting like this, why not have a direct competition?"

Qian Shui raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully, "I noticed you really are in a hurry!"

Indeed! She was in a hurry.

The divine power within her couldn’t compare to Qian Shui’s. This seemingly harmless, yet cunning man intends to exhaust all her divine power, leading to defeat without fighting!

"I am indeed in a bit of a hurry," Mu Qingge admitted openly and even looked up at the sky, saying something unexpected, "I see the weather looks bad, it’s probably going to rain soon, let’s finish quickly so I can rush back to collect the clothes."

’My boss! What are you talking about?’ Tong Teng almost fell off the floating hill upon hearing this.

The others also burst into roaring laughter.

Qian Shui was taken aback, nodded, and laughed, "You are quite interesting."

The Eldest Young Master looked at Zhuang Shan and said to him with indiscernible meaning, "Old Ten, this newcomer of yours is quite interesting."

This time, Zhuang Shan did not remain silent. Instead, he nodded, looked at the Eldest Young Master, and smiled slightly, "Yes! Truly interesting."

"Rushing back to collect clothes?" Qian Shui’s features unwittingly twisted slightly, unable to hold back from laughing aloud.

After laughing, he looked at Mu Qingge and said, "Interesting, interesting! You are indeed very interesting. Since you want to rush back to collect clothes, I’ll oblige you."

Qian Shui’s smile suddenly disappeared, his entire aura changed, and his clothes flapped wildly in the sudden strong wind.

’Here it comes!’ Mu Qingge’s gaze sharpened. She put away the Linglong Spear and began to build up her momentum secretly.

Qian Shui was finally going to use magic, and she naturally couldn’t fall behind!

With Qian Shui’s command, the surrounding power of laws gathered around the stage. It entwined around him, gathered without dispersing.

His aura was very strong, drawing everyone’s attention. No one noticed that at this moment, the power of laws was also quietly gathering around Mu Qingge at the other end of the stage.

Qian Shui’s Spirit Root was of the Water element, so the power of laws he could wield was also related to water. His magic was even more related to water.

Among Mu Qingge’s five Spirit Roots, there is one that can restrain water, and that is thunder and lightning!

The Power of thunder and lightning is the closest to Mu Qingge, and it was one of the abilities she brought from before. Therefore, the magic that the mysterious elder pointed out to her was of the Thunder Element.

Among Thunder Element magic, there is one specific spell that counters Qian Shui’s famous technique.

According to the mysterious elder, although Qian Shui seems gentle, he is actually a very proud person. When battling others, if his interest is truly piqued, his competitive spirit will be aroused, and he will want to defeat his opponent in one move. And that move is his famous technique.

"Water Horizontal Formation—!" Qian Shui chanted the name of the spell coldly.

Mu Qingge’s gaze became sharp, and the mysterious elder’s words seemed to echo in her ears.

’The Water Horizontal Formation of Qian Shui is his renowned technique. This Water Element magic transforms the softness of water into something fierce and swift, incredibly powerful. If you want to break it, you have only one opportunity. When Qian Shui uses this move, his body will habitually expose a flaw under his armpit. In fact, this flaw under his armpit is very obvious; many people are aware of it. However, the only Thunder Element magic you can learn to attack this flaw and defeat him is the "Haomang"...’

"Haomang." Mu Qingge murmured softly, in a voice so low only she could hear.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by the Power of Laws invoked by the Water Horizontal Formation, as Qian Shui drew the water’s power around him using Law and gathered it in front of him.

Instantly, the platform looked like a raging sea, carrying the power of crumbling mountains.

The shocking scene left the disciples on the floating island with expressions of fear and eyes full of admiration.

Just then, Qian Shui raised his arm, revealing the flaw under his armpit.

’Now!’ Mu Qingge’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the Power of Laws of thunder she had secretly gathered in her hand transformed into needle-like beams, swiftly striking towards the flaw under his armpit.

The needle beams were very small, so tiny that no one could see them.

However, the instant Qian Shui saw Mu Qingge’s throwing motion, his eyes suddenly widened, a sense of foreboding rising from his heart.

He noticed something was amiss, but it was too late.

The streak of thunder Power of Laws that Mu Qingge threw exploded against the Water Horizontal Formation, transforming into countless currents, changing the color of the wind and clouds. And the single Haomang pierced directly towards the flaw under Qian Shui’s armpit when the thunder broke through the Water Horizontal Formation’s defense.

"Power of Laws! How does he possess the Power of Laws! Didn’t you say he just broke through to the Spirit Cave Realm ten days ago?" The Eldest Young Master looked at Zhuang Shan in shock.

Meanwhile, other disciples began whispering fearfully.

"He actually has the Power of Laws? Didn’t he just enter the Spirit Cave Realm?"

"This challenge is truly spectacular!"

"So who’s going to win now?"

Tong Teng stood dumbfounded, already accustomed to the blows Mu Qingge brought.

"I don’t know either." Zhuang Shan suppressed the shock in his heart, answering the Eldest Young Master’s question.

At this moment, the Seventh Young Master Xuan Qiang spoke calmly, "The Third Young Master is going to lose."

Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, the overwhelming Power of Laws of the Water Horizontal Formation dissipated, Qian Shui coughed up blood, clutching his armpit as he retreated.

"The Third Young Master!"

"The Third Young Master!"

"The Third Young Master!"

This scene provoked the other young masters, who wanted to rush to help.

However, they were stopped by the Eldest Young Master who coldly reprimanded, "What are you doing? This is a challenge on the platform, everyone stand down."

The Fifth Young Master, Sixth Young Master, Eighth Young Master, and Second Young Master, who nearly charged forward, realized their error, tightened their faces, retreated their steps, and dispersed the Divine Power they had gathered.

Seeing Qian Shui spitting blood and retreating, the disciples on other floating islands were also in an uproar.

Only Tong Teng shouted excitedly without fear, "My boss won—!"

Qian Shui stabilized his body, looking at Mu Qingge with a face full of shock. Apparently, he hadn’t imagined Mu Qingge would use such a move.

With the Water Horizontal Formation defeated, Mu Qingge naturally dispersed her Power of Laws. The mountaintop platform returned to tranquility.

Even Mu Qingge was extremely shaken internally by this battle. It was her first time using Power of Laws in combat, and it turned out to be so earth-shattering!

"Hmph! What win, it was clearly a sneak attack!" Tong Teng’s shouting provoked the Fifth Young Master’s dissatisfaction. His fierce gaze was directed towards Tong Teng.

Tong Teng felt himself being targeted and quickly restrained himself, not daring to speak anymore. Nevertheless, internally he was still immensely excited, thrilled beyond measure.

"You won." Qian Shui, after steadying his breath, stood upright and said to Mu Qingge.

He was straightforward, but the other young masters were dissatisfied.

"Third Young Master, how can this be counted as a win for him?" The Fifth Young Master directly said.

The Fourth Young Master snorted coldly, "Yes, can this be considered a win?"

Zhuang Shan looked at Mu Qingge with some worry. He was equally taken aback but was more concerned about Mu Qingge’s situation at this moment.

"Shut up, Qian Shui knows what he’s doing." The Eldest Young Master spoke out. His address had changed from Third Young Master to Qian Shui.

Qian Shui smiled faintly at Mu Qingge and said, "A loss is a loss, but in half a year, I’ll come to find you again."

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, not rejecting.

In this battle, she indeed used strategy. First, she secretly learned magic targeting Qian Shui’s weakness, then during the battle, she piqued Qian Shui’s interest with speed, luring him to use Water Horizontal Formation, allowing her to win with one move.

Everything was calculated.

Mu Qingge gazed at Qian Shui’s desolate departing figure, secretly thinking: ’In half a year, when you come to find me, I’ll return to you a fair battle.’

"What’s with the Third Young Master? At this moment, what does integrity matter?" The Fifth Young Master slammed a fist onto the railing of the floating hill fiercely.

"He has his own thoughts." The Eldest Young Master said to the Fifth Young Master.

The Fourth Young Master looked coldly at Mu Qingge and asked, "Are we supposed to acknowledge him?"

This time, no one answered.

"In this challenge, Mu Qingge wins. Ascend the clouds, enter the Divine Emperor Palace, and meet the Divine Emperor." The voice that had assessed Mu Qingge initially reappeared at this moment.

This time, as the voice dissipated, a cloud floated from the horizon, landing under Mu Qingge’s feet, lifting her whole body and moving towards the highest peak of the Huan Yue Domain...
