The Eternal Supremacy - Chapter 55
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A thunderous roar erupted between Ji Mo and Leng Jianyun with a powerful blast. This time, Ji Mo could only steady himself after retreating for more than ten steps. After all, his opponent was a Qi Plundering Boundary master.
Leng Jianyun’s situation was not ideal either. He actually retreated by 6 to 7 steps and his palm was slightly shaking with a tinge of numbness.
Nobody expected Ji Mo to dare retaliate against a Qi Plundering Boundary master like Leng Jianyun. Furthermore, the fight was a tie and even Leng Jianyun was forced to retreat. The outcome greatly exceeded everybody’s expectations.
The gap between their levels was like the distance between heaven and earth. Comparing the tempered body phase and the Qi Plundering Boundary was like highlighting the difference between immortals and mortals because no matter how powerful one’s strength was, it could not resist True Qi. True Qi was the instrument to perform divine power, and a ray of True Qi could resist the force of a thousand kilograms.
However, Ji Mo’s secret Three-Tonne Power technique could exert a force of 1.2 tonnes of force. This 1.2 tonnes of force could threaten a Qi Plundering Boundary master. Although the power was still weaker than a cultivator’s True Qi, it could not withstand such a powerful force. How was it like when the power of 3 tonnes fused into a point of explosion?
“This…Ji Mo repelled the Qi Plundering Boundary master, Senior Brother Leng Jianyun. He’s a monster!”
“Causing a Qi Plundering Boundary master to retreat and end in a tie requires a great deal of strength. Even if he used martial arts, he might not have been able to do it.”
“Has Ji Mo been hiding his strength all these years? Otherwise, how did his strength increase so much in such a short period? If he didn’t hide his cultivation base, then he must’ve had a strange encounter not long ago.”
Elder Xu, the pretty woman whose surname was Ling, and the middle-aged man had the same expressions. Shock could be seen in their eyes, and even the serene Elder Xu’s expression changed.
“This kid is really rebellious. He dares to fight back against Leng Jianyun, who is a master of the Qi Plundering Boundary. I’m impressed,” said the middle-aged man with a laugh.
“I would say he’s extremely brazen, or should I say he relies on it. Repelling a Qi Plundering Boundary cultivator with a tempered body phase cultivation base…this is a first for me,” said the pretty woman whose surname was Ling. Then, she looked at Elder Xu and asked, “Elder Xu, what do you think?”
“Report him to the sect. He’s a seedling. Don’t ruin it,” Elder Xu replied tersely.
At that moment, Leng Jianyun was horrified. As a Qi Plundering Boundary master and an inner disciple, Ji Mo had forced him to retreat. This was a great humiliation for him, especially since it was in front of everyone. Clearly, it was a massive blow to his ego.
Leng Jianyun was blue in the face. Killing intent emerged in his eyes as a surge of True Qi coalesced on his palm, ready to strike at Ji Mo again.
Ji Mo’s pupils constricted. Although he forced Leng Jianyun back with a punch just now, Ji Mo knew that his overall strength was not comparable to the Qi Plundering Boundary’s Leng Jianyun. Even if it was ‘Three-Tonne Power’, it was merely strength that could not compete with the True Qi.
“Leng Jianyun, stop!” Elder Xu commanded, “As an inner disciple, aren’t you ashamed of bullying an outer disciple?
“Elder Xu…” Leng Jianyun blushed. He would have given anything to crush Ji Mo’s bones, but Leng Jianyun did not dare to disobey Elder Xu who was an eighth-tier Qi Plundering Boundary master. Whether it was because of ability or position in the inner sect, Elder Xu far surpassed him.
“This ends here. Ji Mo has proven his strength. It’s evident that he didn’t cheat in the Hunting Competition. He deserves to be number one,” Elder Xu explained slowly.
Since even Elder Xu said so, what more could Leng Jianyun say?
“Hmph!” Instantly, Leng Jianyun snorted and he stared dangerously at Ji Mo once more. Then, a sword-light appeared under his feet, and he flew into the sky on it.
He did not want to stay put because even if he did, he could not do anything. Now that Ji Mo was under the protection of Elder Xu, he could not make a move. After Ji Mo’s jaw-dropping performance, Leng Jianyun hated him thoroughly.
When Leng Jianyun left, he directed his voice into Ji Mo’s ears, “Don’t think that this incident is over. As long as you step foot into the inner sect, you’ll wish you were dead!”
Ji Mo smirked and looked at the direction where Leng Jianyun had taken off. ‘Once I break through to the Qi Plundering Boundary and finish cultivating the Hell Celestial Power, we shall see who’ll wish he was dead!’
Not far away, Du Jia witnessed everything. From beginning to end, she did not say a word as she was deeply shocked by Ji Mo’s performance. Zuo Yaofei and Ning Xia, two of these geniuses were easily defeated by him, even Leng Jianyun who was a Qi Plundering Boundary master could not subdue him.
Du Jia had no idea what happened to Ji Mo that made him transform so much and improved so rapidly.
At that moment, Ji Mo’s gaze turned towards Du Jia. Within his black pupils was a hellish red glow that shocked her soul and made her shudder.
The Hunting Competition had ended and Ji Mo took first place with his excellent results. After that, everyone started their journey back to Tianyuan Academy.
On the way, many people looked at Ji Mo differently. Many people even felt that they were dreaming. Ji Mo, the loser of Tianyuan Academy, had shown great prowess. He tortured Zuo Yaofei, sent Ning Xia flying with a kick, and even brazenly went against the Qi Plundering Boundary master, Leng Jianyun, who he fought to a draw.
In the eyes of these people, Ji Mo was like a ferocious little beast that no one could rival. His aura was compelling. Due to his appearance, Tianyuan Academy’s list of outstanding individuals may have to be rewritten.
Back at Tianyuan Academy, everyone went their separate ways, but Ji Mo did not leave. He went to a quiet place alone to carefully think about the recent incidents. His strength was not a secret anymore when it was exposed to outsiders, but Ji Mo was not worried. Although his cultivation had not broken through to the Qi Plundering Boundary and he had not completed the cultivation of the Hell Celestial Power, even with his current level of strength, Du Jia and Nan Hao could not deal with him.
How was the character for ‘endure’ written in Chinese? It was the character for “knife” suppressing the “heart” character. In the face of a powerful opponent, one could endure the challenges, but if one still continued to endure strife after having the ability to retaliate, that would be a weakness.
Ji Mo did not fear Nan Hao now, and he did not have to put up with him any more!
Young people should have the courage and dare to challenge everything. Previously, Ji Mo did not have that strength, but now he did, so he had nothing to fear.
