Chapter 1355: The Number of Birth Charts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although the disciples of the Qin clan were curious, they did not dare to ask questions. After Lu Zhou and the others disappeared into the southern training hall, their attention was now all focused on the energy sabers and energy swords that were clas.h.i.+ng fiercely in the sky.
Meanwhile, Little Zhou and Little Wu had yet to recover from their shock. They only watched the collision in the sky speechlessly.
After a moment, when Little Zhou saw a brilliant move, he exclaimed, “No way! It can be used in this way as well? Why doesn’t the energy sabers attack the formation?”
Little Wu shook his head. “It’s better for him to defend than attack. If it were me, I would’ve chosen to… Huh? He’s attacking? How fast!”
“The control of the energy swords is really flawless!”
The duo continued to chat, completely engrossed in Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong’s energy sabers and energy swords.
The other disciples from the Qin family were the same. They had never seen such a majestic display of sabers and swords. Even if Qin Renyue was capable of this, this was not his main skill.
When the battle was at its most intense, sparks flew from the collision of the energy sabers and the energy swords.
Yu Shangrong held a slight advantage as he used his sword to push Yu Zhenghai.
The duo had been flying and circling the sky above the southern training hall the entire time.
For an hour, Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai continued to clash using their energy swords and energy sabers. Their movements and techniques remained the same; it was as though they were in the midst of a long tug-of-war. In the end, their speed began to slow down.
“The sword is superior. Didn’t I tell you that before?” Little Wu said to Little Zhou.
“Nonsense! The sword isn’t superior to the saber. It’s clear that the cultivation base of the senior who wields the saber is slightly lower than the sword user. In a fight between experts, a slight difference is a huge difference,” Little Zhou retorted.
Little Wu shook his head. “No, the senior who uses the sword didn’t use his full strength. If he were to use all his strength, it’d be easy for him to suppress all his opponents.”
“No, no, no, this is just a sparring match. If they fight with their lives on the line, the saber user will definitely have the advantage!”
“You’re really funny! If one can’t even win a sparring match, how’s one going to win a life-or-death match?”
As the two young disciples from the Qin clan continued to argue, the energy sabers and energy swords in the sky swept out in all directions. Their lights were brilliant, illuminating the sky.
At the same time, Lu Zhou’s two disciples flew back at the same time and faced each other from a distance. The sparring match was finally over.
“Your cultivation in the sword path has improved tremendously,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Yu Shangrong replied, “It’s the same for Elder Senior Brother’s saber skills.”
“Each of your twelve leaves is a formidable weapon,” Yu Zhenghai said.
“Elder Senior Brother is overpraising me. No matter how strong twelve leaves are, they can’t compare to Birth Charts. If we really fight with our lives on the land, it’ll be easy to decide the victor and the loser…”
Then, the duo no longer spoke and only cupped their fists at each other.
Meanwhile, the others who were looking at the duo were dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, the duo had fought so fiercely, but now they were suddenly subtly bragging and praising. What kind of show was this?
In fact, the duo was very familiar with each other’s strengths.
Yu Shangrong benefited a lot from severing his lotus. In terms of cultivation base, he was slightly ahead of Yu Zhenghai. After Yu Zhenghai had yet to pa.s.s his second Birth Trial. However, those who severed their lotuses did not have life hearts. It was akin to having only one Birth Chart.
On the other hand, Yu Zhenghai who was still in possession of his lotus path walked a clear path. Breaking through was just a matter of activating his Birth Charts. All he had to do in exchange was give up some of the years of his life, which would eventually be returned to him.
“Both of you… In the end, who won?” Little Zhou and Little Wu were curious. They did not care about Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong’s ident.i.ties, they only cared about the results.
After Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong descended, they looked at the two young disciples from the Qin clan.
“What are your names?”
“I’m Qin Xiaozhou.”
“I’m Qin Xiaowu; I’m the fifth in the family.”
The duo from the Qin clan answered honestly.
At this moment, a disciple hurried over and said to the duo in a hushed voice, “Little Zhou, Little Wu, these two are distinguished guests of the Qin clan. Senior Brother Yuan Lang has ordered us not to act recklessly.”
Upon hearing this, Little Zhou and Little Wu bowed at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong in unison.
The disciple of the Qin clan turned to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong and said, “Please forgive us for making fools out of ourselves. Little Zhou and Little Wu are young so they don’t know the immensity of the world. They usually spar and cultivate in the southern training hall.”
Yu Zhenghai laughed, clearly not offended. Just like Lu Zhou said, he saw shadows of the past in Little Zhou and Little Wu so he had a good impression of them. After a moment, he asked, “How long have both of you cultivated and what are your cultivation bases?”
Little Zhou replied, “65 years. I’ve just broken through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage this year.”
Little Wu replied as well, “I’ve also cultivated for 65 years and broke through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage this year.”
They were considered novices in the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. With their cultivation bases, it was indeed quite a feat for them to be able to control tens of thousands of energy swords and energy sabers. Hence, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong nodded inwardly, thinking the talents of the two disciples from the Qin clan were not bad.
Naturally, if they were compared to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, they were still lacking. Moreover, for years, the golden lotus domain’s cultivation limit was stuck at the Eight-leaf stage. 65 years in the green lotus domain and 300 years in the golden lotus domain were completely different.
After the limit was broken in the golden lotus domain, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong’s cultivation bases had improved by leaps and bounds. They went from eight leaves to almost close to facing the second Birth Trial. This was not only due to their Great Void Seeds but the results of their hard work as well.
“Not bad. Continue to work hard,” Yu Zhenghai said encouragingly.
Just as Yu Zhenghai was about to leave, Little Zhou stammered, “C-can I look for you for guidance with the saber in the future?”
Yu Zhenghai was slightly startled by the fire of determination and the pa.s.sion to learn in Little Zhou’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Little Wu definitely would not fall behind Little Zhou. He said, “I’d also like to ask for guidance regarding the sword!”
Upon hearing these words, the elder of the Qin clan softly rebuked them, “Don’t mess around. Don’t talk about such things again. Honorable guests, please.”
One should only ask for guidance from one’s master. It was considered rude to ask another person for guidance so rashly.
Nevertheless, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were not offended. Moreover, they knew how b.u.mpy the paths of the sabers and the swords were. The difficulties they had encountered were not something ordinary people could imagine.
Yu Zhenghai laughed loudly before he said, “You can look for me any time.”
Little Zhou was overjoyed. He bowed and said, “Thank you! Thank you very much!”
At the same time, Yu Shangrong pointed at Little Wu and said, “You can come over with him.”
Little Wu was extremely excited and kept bowing to express his grat.i.tude.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong only smiled before they flew toward the southern training hall.
…
In the evening.
Lu Zhou brought out the Pillar of Impermanence and sent it into the ground of the southern training hall before increasing the speed by 100 times. Following that, he brought out the Celestial Mark Brocade Box and placed it in front of him. He tried a few times but failed to open it like before.
Lu Zhou wondered out loud, “Can it only be opened by a Venerable Master?”
If that was the case, then he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
“With 14 Birth Charts, I need another four Birth Charts to become a Venerable Master.”
Lu Zhou brought out the life hearts of He Luoyu and the Moon Whale. He had obtained these to beast emperors’ life hearts from Meng Mingsh through the super Reduction Card.. As he looked at the two life hearts, he muttered to himself, “I still need another two life hearts.”
