Chapter 816

"You are very strong; if I didn't use the Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder, it would be hard to beat you."

Durandal shook her head and said softly:

"Lost is lost; your cultivation technique is very powerful..."

"After all, this is one of the town-sect sword arts of Shushan."

Ying smiled and waved her hand.

"The Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder is an immortal art at the Golden Immortal level; even if it is a simplified version, strictly speaking, it is an existence that transcends heaven-tier cultivation techniques."

"You yourself don't have any magic treasures, and you haven't been in contact with cultivation for long. After some time, I might not necessarily be able to defeat you."

Durandal didn't answer, but after pondering for a moment, she said softly:

"Can I learn the Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder?"

"This..."

Ying scratched her cheek and said uncertainly:

"It should be fine, but it's better if you listen to the Sect Leader's arrangements."

"You don't necessarily have to learn the Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder; the Sect Leader has many other cultivation techniques, and for divine-bodied prodigies, he will personally arrange them."

"You don't need to be in a hurry; what suits you is the best."

"Just like Keli, although she doesn't have the Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder, even if I used the Mistsplitter Reforged to release the original version of the Divine Sword True Art of Controlling Thunder..."

"I would still not be Keli's opponent."

"That little one has even more trump cards."

Paimon on the side had already flown over to join Ying. Nowadays, all divine bodies are at least at the Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit stage; Paimon is only at Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, so she doesn't need to fight or anything.

Ying waved at Durandal and left to bid farewell.

Watching Ying's back, Durandal ignited a stronger fighting spirit after a long time.

540. Demon Clans Giving Gifts at the Seven-Vein Martial Competition, Giving the Corpses of Their Own People?

Battles between divine bodies are, in the final analysis, niche battles; ordinary disciples just marvel at them and don't watch much more.

This stuff is purely talent; you can't learn anything even if you watch it.

Rather than paying attention to the high-and-mighty divine-bodied prodigies that cannot be replicated, it is better to watch the battles of normal people.

On Tongtian Peak, battles were held continuously, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

Other peaks might still have some suspense.

But the first place on Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, and Xiaozhu Peak is a battle with absolutely no suspense.

Miss Ganyu and Xiao are leading by a cliff-like margin; even if there is Miko, an expert at the middle stage of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, on Tongtian Peak.

But...

Miss Ganyu's cultivation foundation is too solid.

As the person who joined Shushan the earliest and followed Jiang Yan the earliest.

No one knows exactly how many trump cards Miss Ganyu has.

At the very least, Miko doesn't believe that Miss Ganyu doesn't know things like the Eight Great Divine Spells.

As for Longshou Peak, Xiao suppressed everyone with his own strength; others were merely competing for second and third place.

Xiaozhu Peak is the same; although the strongest people are all at the early stage of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit.

But...

Xiaozhu Peak is Miss Shenhe's territory.

Who is Miss Shenhe? Perhaps most Shushan disciples can't say, because even Lady Ningguang and the others from Xiaozhu Peak don't know much about Miss Shenhe.

On a daily basis, Miss Shenhe either goes into seclusion to cultivate or goes out to train.

But...

There is one point everyone can at least confirm.

Miss Shenhe is the strongest person in the entire bamboo forest.

Whether it is combat methods or various arts.

Or combat experience and intuition, Miss Shenhe is the strongest.

Even at the early stage of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, Miss Shenhe has gone the furthest.

If divided by levels, Lady Ningguang and the others are probably only at the first level of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit.

Miss Shenhe is at the third level of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit.

It's just that Shushan doesn't have so many cumbersome level divisions; the early stage is the early stage. Without making the final breakthrough, no matter how far you go, it's still the early stage.

Perhaps this is the reason why cultivators basically cannot fight across levels.

However, these three people tacitly agreed not to take action directly.

If they took action directly, there would be no fun; the dust would settle, and it would be very boring.

The once-in-a-century Seven-Vein Martial Competition naturally requires everyone to participate as much as possible.

As for the four veins other than these three.

There is a lot of suspense.

On Dazhu Peak, the one with the strongest offensive means is definitely Lisa.

But it's hard to guarantee that Bai Zhu and Lishui won't have any trump cards.

But for now, Lisa has the best chance.

As for Fenghui Peak, it is highly likely to be Pingzi.

She has already integrated the Five Thunders Method; nowadays, her strength in manipulating the Five Thunders is extremely strong.

On Zhaoyang Peak, it is highly likely to be Shaoyue; although with Durandal's talent, she herself has a very good chance.

But now, she hasn't been cultivating for long, so even among the inner disciples of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, it's hard to say if she can get into the top three.

As for the final Luoxia Peak, there is no need to say much; Baisheng's chance is over eighty percent.

According to what Jiang Yan knows, Baisheng has already raised and controlled quite a few demon beasts.

The results of the three-day competition were not different from what Jiang Yan expected.

Indeed, all of them were the people on the list above who achieved victory.

However...

Such a Seven-Vein Martial Competition cannot represent the overall strength of the seven veins.

If they just competed like this, they couldn't determine the true seven strongest people of Shushan.

Many existences with high strength are all within one peak.

For example, Miss Ganyu, Miko, Diluc, Tartaglia, Qin...

Therefore, the subsequent ranking tournament is the focus of this time.

The Seven-Vein Martial Competition only determines the current ranking of the seven veins at the level of the disciples' highest combat power.

But even so, it was enough for the spectators to call it a thrill.

Time flew by, and it was the day of the Seven-Vein Martial Competition.

On this day, the entire Shushan world became lively.

Especially in the seven veins of Shushan, one could see a large amount of rainbow light flying by at any time; those were the demon clan leaders who came to offer gifts.

On this day, all the disciples of Shushan gathered on Tongtian Peak.

For Lady Ningguang and the others, they could generally come over to the Sect Hall of Tongtian Peak if there was something going on.

But for outer disciples, there was really no opportunity to come here except for joining the sect and the last Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration conference.

For Shushan disciples, the Sect Hall is still very mysterious.

Of course, what is even more mysterious is the Shushan Sect Leader, Jiang Yan.

The gifts sent by the various demon clans were nothing special; after all, they are now penniless, and within their tribes, the most valuable things are likely the parts on their own bodies.

In addition, the tokens given to them also require resources to exchange.

More or less, a little bit of heart is enough.

However, the demon clans didn't dare to think so; what was sent this time was, in the final analysis, the best things they could take out at the moment.

Jiang Yan was quite satisfied with their tactfulness.

Among them, the most useful were naturally the resources provided by the Biyi Bird and Mount Qingqiu Fox clans, etc.

The Mount Qingqiu Fox Clan offered some spiritual medicine seeds they brought when they came from the World of Cultivation.

The Biyi Bird Clan was even more direct, sending over some traitors within the clan.
