Chapter 164: with translation of chapter title

Zhao Xin isn't a disciple of the Dao Yi Sect, so he naturally doesn't know what a Sleeve Sword is, but the other Dao Yi Sect experts and disciples present all had strange looks.

Entities: Zhao Xin, Dao Yi Sect.

"Senior brother, does the sect have the Sleeve Sword technique?"

Entities: Shī xiōng, Sect, Sleeve Sword.

"I haven't heard of it."

"I don't know either, but it looks like they're going to ambush someone."

"What a load of nonsense about the Sleeve Sword—anyone can see that Zhong Ling and Zhao Xin are just trying to ambush someone—but as soon as that was said, the various peak masters immediately scolded them."

Entities: Sleeve Sword, Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin, Peak Master.

"What do you mean by ambush? It's clearly about striking first to gain the advantage."

"You have no eyesight whatsoever; the Sleeve Sword is a secret technique not transmitted by our Dao Yi Sect."

Entities: Sleeve Sword, Dao Yi Sect, secret technique.

"Just keep practicing diligently in your daily training, and you'll all know how to use it, but now you don't even know the Sleeve Sword."

Entities: cultivation, Sleeve Sword.

"After being scolded by all the peak masters, the inner disciples were first stunned, but quickly came to their senses and all shouted approval."

Entities: Peak Master. Inner Disciple glossary. So list: Peak Master, Inner Disciple.

Good, junior sister, awesome!

I never thought Junior Sister would have mastered the Sleeve Sword to perfection; Senior Brother is impressed.

Entities: Sleeve Sword, cultivation, Perfection realm, Senior Brother. So list: Sleeve Sword, cultivation, Perfection realm, Senior Brother.

As the crowd shouted, everyone else present was also fooled, including Zhao Xin, who coldly looked at Zhong Ling and spoke.

Entities: Zhao Xin, Zhong Ling. So list: Zhao Xin, Zhong Ling.

What a fine Sleeve Sword technique, Senior Brother—I'll learn from it.

Entities: Sleeve Sword, Senior Brother. So list: Sleeve Sword, Senior Brother.

He actually believed it—just seeing it made Su Luoxing's mouth twitch. You're such an idiot, believing whatever people say.

Entities: Su Luoxing. So list: Su Luoxing.

I intended to pull a dirty trick, but it didn't work and I ended up being manipulated.

No named entities.

Annoyed, Su Luoxing turned her head and spoke to Qi Xiong in a sarcastic tone.

Entities: Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong. So list: Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong.

'Sleeve Sword? I've lived so many years and never heard of such a technique—could it be something you Dao Yi Sect made up?'

Entities: Sleeve Sword, Dao Yi Sect. So list: Sleeve Sword, Dao Yi Sect.

In response, Qi Xiong scoffed.

Entities: Qi Xiong. So list: Qi Xiong.

'You're a frog in a well—there's so much in the world you haven't heard of.'

No named entities.

While speaking, Zhong Ling and Zhao Xin had already begun fighting fiercely.

Entities: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin. So list: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin.

Their strengths are indeed comparable; both have cultivated to the Great Accomplishment stage of the Dharma Aspect realm.

At this moment, the Dharma Aspects appeared behind them, and every move exuded terrifying power.

Entities: Dharma Aspect. So list: Dharma Aspect.

However, these battle aftereffects didn't affect the surrounding people, after all, those present could be said to be the elite of Dongzhou.

Entities: Dongzhou. So list: Dongzhou.

Blocking the aftereffects of the battle between two Dharma Aspect realm cultivators is obviously not difficult.

Entities: Dharma Aspect realm. So list: Dharma Aspect realm.

As time passed, Zhong Ling gradually gained the upper hand, mainly due to a difference in body technique.

Entities: Zhong Ling. So list: Zhong Ling.

Every one of Zhong Ling's body techniques has reached perfection; her footwork is agile, and Zhao Xin has no way to deal with it.

Entities: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin, Perfection level. So list: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin, Perfection level.

Increasingly strained, seeing that he would lose if this continued, Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and directly shot out a talisman seal.

Entities: Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal. So list: Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal.

Seeing that even a talisman seal was used, everyone present was stunned—what's going on? In an ordinary sparring match, is it necessary to rely on talisman seal power?

Entities: Talisman Seal. So list: Talisman Seal.

The disciples of the Dao Yi Sect all shouted angrily in response.

Entities: Dao Yi Sect. So list: Dao Yi Sect.

'Foul, this is a foul—how can you use a talisman seal in a sparring match?'

Entities: Talisman Seal. So list: Talisman Seal.

Impudent!

Bold!

Amidst the crowd's angry shouts, Zhong Ling seemed to have anticipated this, had prepared in advance, sidestepped, and easily dodged the talisman seal's attack.

The turn of events surprised everyone; at this moment, Qi Xiong, seated on the main platform, also looked at Su Luoxing with a displeased expression.

Entities: Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing. So list: Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing.

'Old Monster Su, you're going a bit too far, aren't you?'

Entities: Su Lao Guai (a nickname for Su Luoxing meaning 'Old Monster Su'). It's a nickname used as a name; per rules, nicknames used as a person's name should be rendered in pinyin, so we output Su Lao Guai.

'In a sparring match, naturally one can use any means; Zhao Xin excels at talisman seals, so why couldn't he use them? Besides, it was never said that talisman seals couldn't be used.'

Entities: Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal. So list: Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal.

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong's eyes flashed with cold light—need we even say it? It's like saying feces aren't edible; do you need someone to tell you every day not to eat poop?

Entities: Qi Xiong. So list: Qi Xiong.

Even the representatives of other major forces secretly shook their heads, feeling that the Luo Xia Sect's action was indeed going too far.

Entities: Luo Xia Sect. So list: Luo Xia Sect.

However, they could also understand Su Luoxing's thinking, after all, having lost three matches in a row, if they lost again the Luo Xia Sect would lose all face today.

Entities: Su Luoxing, Luo Xia Sect. So list: Su Luoxing, Luo Xia Sect.

Moreover, Su Luoxing herself proposed the sparring—doesn't that just mean she's offering her face to be slapped?

Entities: Su Luoxing. So list: Su Luoxing.

Therefore, the Luo Xia Sect must win this match.

Entities: Luo Xia Sect. So list: Luo Xia Sect.

But this tactic is really somewhat unsavory.

No named entities.

Everyone in the Dao Yi Sect showed displeasure and protested, yet the usually silent Zhong Ling suddenly spoke up, addressing Su Luoxing.

Entities: Dao Yi Sect, Zhong Ling, Su Luoxing. So list: Dao Yi Sect, Zhong Ling, Su Luoxing.

'Sect Master Su, are you sure you can use talisman seals in this battle?'

Entities: Su Zongzhu, Talisman Seal. So list: Su Zongzhu, Talisman Seal.

Upon hearing that, Su Luoxing frowned at the smiling Zhong Ling, feeling the girl was a bit problematic, but since Zhao Xin had already used talisman seals, he certainly couldn't slap himself in the face now, so he forced himself to speak.

Entities: Su Luoxing, Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal. So list: Su Luoxing, Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin, Talisman Seal.

'It wasn't said beforehand, so naturally it's allowed.'

No named entities.

Well, like that...

Upon hearing that, Zhong Ling nodded in agreement, while everyone around wondered what she was going to do.

Entities: Zhong Ling. So list: Zhong Ling.

The next second, Zhong Ling formed seals with both hands, and instantly pillars of fire shot up around Zhao Xin.

Entities: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin. So list: Zhong Ling, Zhao Xin.

This sudden change left Zhao Xin dumbfounded, and everyone around was also stunned.

Entities: Zhao Xin. So list: Zhao Xin.

'Talisman seal power?'

Entities: Talisman Seal. So list: Talisman Seal.

'Where did the talisman seal come from?'

Entities: Talisman Seal. So list: Talisman Seal.

I've never seen Zhong Ling use talisman seals before, but where does this talisman seal power come from now?

Entities: Zhong Ling, Talisman Seal. So list: Zhong Ling, Talisman Seal.

And it's right next to Zhao Xin—this is outrageous.

Entities: Zhao Xin. So list: Zhao Xin.

With no defense at all, he was directly engulfed by the flames of a sixth-grade explosive talisman seal.

Entities: Sixth-grade Talisman Seal, Explosive Flame Talisman. So list: Sixth-grade Talisman Seal, Explosive Flame Talisman.

Damn, when...

Even at the last moment, Zhao Xin didn't know when Zhong Ling had buried the talisman seals, nor how they were buried underground.

Entities: Zhao Xin, Zhong Ling, Talisman Seal. So list: Zhao Xin, Zhong Ling, Talisman Seal.

'I forgot to tell Senior Brother Zhao, but actually Junior Sister has also studied talisman seals, and she's achieved a minor accomplishment.'

Entities: Brother Zhao (referring to Zhao Xin). Other entities: Junior Sister is a generic form of address (ignored). Talisman Seal. Minor accomplishment. So list: Talisman Seal, minor accomplishment.

Talisman Seal, minor accomplishment.

As early as in the battle just now, Zhong Ling had already secretly buried several explosive flame talismans underground.

Recently, their Jade Maiden Peak hasn't just been Xiūliàn; they've also studied some............ questionable little tricks, the female disciples have also researched quite a few.

After all, as cultivators, wandering south and north, eating three meals a day, having a few more skills is always good; more skills never burden one.

Originally they were still worrying about Zhong Ling, the restless people of Dao Yi Sect, at this moment they were all stunned like wooden chickens.

The previous angry shouts had completely disappeared; each Inner Disciple stared with wide eyes, muttering to themselves.

When was this Talisman Seal set up?

Something's off, Junior Sister Zhong Ling is off.

Not just Junior Sister Zhong Ling, I feel the whole Jade Maiden Peak is off.

After four matches, the techniques of these Jade Maiden Peak Inner Disciples are truly astonishing, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Especially this match between Zhong Ling and Zhao Xin.

From the initial sneak attack to the later Talisman Seal, it's clear that Luo Xia Sect made thorough preparations, determined to win, even if it meant using dirty tricks.

If other disciples had taken the stage, they might really have been sabotaged.

But the result? They were completely outplayed by Zhong Ling.

Especially now with the Talisman Seal, Zhao Xin, well, he's already lost.

From Zhong Ling and a few others, the disciples only felt unfamiliarity; this is not the Jade Maiden Peak of before.

On the contrary, the Peak Masters ahead, although equally puzzled, quickly came to their senses and all spoke up.

Junior Sister Zhong Ling is not bad; indeed she has studied the Talisman Seal.

Not bad, not bad; the method of using this Talisman Seal is not far off from my own.

Junior Sister Bai Hua taught well.
