Chapter 183

This also made Saint Tongtian sigh at how astonishing Luo Fu's talent was.

Unlike Laozi and Master Yuanshi, who still had only a partial understanding of Luo Fu's strength, due to Saint Tongtian's concealment, even Laozi and the other Saints could not divine even a fraction of Luo Fu's true nature.

But as his teacher, Saint Tongtian had seen with his own eyes Luo Fu's strength and the insight and talent he displayed during that year of teachings.

At that time, Luo Fu's physical body had not yet achieved Dao.

His use of the Cycle Law was still very crude.

Yet in just a few short years, these two fields where he had once achieved little had seen such astonishing growth.

His physical body achieved Dao; his comprehension of the Cycle Law became even more profound.

Know that these were merely just a small part of Luo Fu's power.

In Saint Tongtian's eyes, Luo Fu's true mastery lay in Array Dao, and even the Great Dao of the Sword.

These two arts were Luo Fu's greatest strengths.

Clearly, at this moment, Luo Fu had not truly revealed either of these two fields.

Saint Tongtian eagerly wondered: just how far had his disciple advanced in the path of the Sword?

Unfortunately,

Perhaps in this Combat World tournament, no one could force Luo Fu to reveal his true strength.

After Blasting Guang Chengzi's defeat, on the surface, the strongest among them now, besides Luo Fu, was Daoist Duobao.

Yet even Daoist Duobao would likely fail to force Luo Fu to reveal his true power.

Saint Tongtian had seen with his own eyes how strong Daoist Duobao was; given a little more time, crossing into the Great Immortal layer would come naturally to him.

Yet even Daoist Duobao of such strength, in Saint Tongtian's view, was still inferior to Luo Fu.

Only if Daoist Duobao crossed into the Great Immortal layer might he have a chance to force Luo Fu to reveal his true power.

Of course, Luo Fu was also his own direct disciple, and Saint Tongtian was naturally very pleased by Luo Fu's outstanding performance.

Leaving aside the varied thoughts in the hearts of the three Saints.

In the Combat World,

Luo Fu's figure had slowly emerged from that world, with another figure floating beside him.

That was Blasting Guang Chengzi.

Yet this Chan Sect Golden Immortal had already fallen into unconsciousness under Luo Fu's attack.

The fate-light on his body had vanished; clearly, Blasting Guang Chengzi was the loser.

"My fellow Chan Sect brothers, Brother Guang Chengzi has merely fallen unconscious and suffered no serious injury; you need not worry," Luo Fu said to the Chan Sect disciples.

Then, the unconscious Blasting Guang Chengzi floated toward Chi Jingzi and the other Chan Sect direct disciples.

Faced with the approaching Blasting Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi and the others scrambled to catch him.

Clearly, in this Three Sects contest, the Chan Sect disciples had little chance of victory.

After all, without Nanji Xianweng participating, Blasting Guang Chengzi's strength was already the strongest among the Chan Sect direct disciples.

Perhaps Mount Kunlun held many even stronger Golden Immortals.

This was because they had spent an immeasurably long time immersed in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Over such a long time, though their Golden Immortal foundations had deepened, sadly, those beings had lost all chance to cross into a more powerful realm.

This would only cause them to waste away further in the Golden Immortal Realm—what right did they have to join the Three Sects contest?

After all, a Golden Immortal is forever just a Golden Immortal.

Only a very few genius强者 possess the ability to cross-realm battle; those who remain stuck in the Golden Immortal Realm have no chance to be called geniuses.

On the other side,

After handing Blasting Guang Chengzi over to the Chan Sect, Luo Fu returned to the Jie Sect's camp.

All Jie Sect disciples—whether direct or ordinary—were deeply shocked by Luo Fu's performance.

Previously, when Luo Fu defeated Huang Long True Person, they had been surprised, but merely thought his strength was impressive.

No wonder he was the one the Jiaozhu had broken protocol to take as a direct disciple.

Beyond that, these Jie Sect disciples had no further thoughts.

This was due to several reasons.

First, Huang Long True Person's strength had always been average among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect—not among the top-tier direct disciples.

Second, Huang Long surrendered too suddenly; Luo Fu never truly displayed his combat power.

If not for knowing that Huang Long and Luo Fu had some past grudge before their match,

And given that the Chan Sect and Jie Sect were not on good terms, fixed matches were unlikely.

Unless both were Chan Sect disciples, or both Jie Sect disciples, then perhaps a slight possibility remained.

This also led many Mount Kunlun disciples to grant Luo Fu greater recognition; past doubts and mockery had diminished greatly.

These Mount Kunlun disciples feared Luo Fu might seek revenge later.

If Luo Fu had been humiliated by Saint Tongtian, as everyone once speculated, or even stripped of his direct disciple status, then Luo Fu's future would have been certain to amount to nothing.

But after Luo Fu defeated Huang Long, everyone understood that this new direct disciple of Saint Tongtian was truly formidable—so all past negative thoughts vanished instantly.

Remember, Huang Long True Person was also a Saint's direct disciple.

The time he had spent becoming a Golden Immortal was certainly far longer than Luo Fu's.

From this alone, it was enough to prove how exceptional Luo Fu's talent was.

To become a Saint's direct disciple—he truly deserved it.

But what these Jie Sect disciples could not have imagined was that defeating Huang Long was merely the beginning for Luo Fu.

Afterward, Luo Fu's next opponent was Blasting Guang Chengzi.

Who was Blasting Guang Chengzi? On Mount Kunlun, he was famously renowned—the foremost of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and among all the Saints' direct disciples, his strength ranked among the very top.

Moreover, the opponent was still a veteran Late Stage Golden Immortal powerhouse.

In the hearts of the Jie Sect disciples, perhaps only their senior disciple-brother Duobao had a real chance of completely defeating Guang Chengzi.

As for personal disciples like Holy Mother Jin Ling, whether they could defeat Guang Chengzi was already a matter wrapped in doubt.

Although Luo Fu's strength was not bad, and he could defeat True Person Huang Long, this should be Luo Fu's limit.

As for defeating Guang Chengzi, the many Jie Sect disciples had never even entertained the thought.

Such a thing could only possibly happen in a dream.

After all, one had only recently become a Golden Immortal, while the other had long since reached Late Stage Golden Immortal, and was even on the verge of breaking through to Taiyi Golden Immortal at any moment.

Comparing the two, no matter where in the Primordial World you placed them, anyone would assume the latter would emerge victorious.

But the final answer was utterly unexpected.

They had not expected that Luo Fu would actually claim the final victory — he had defeated Guang Chengzi.

This time, Luo Fu displayed an utterly overwhelming, crushing violence.

That kind of violence made those Jie Sect disciples who had once mocked Luo Fu tremble with dread.

Especially those demon-cultivator disciples.

Under such absolute power, even Guang Chengzi could only be blown apart in a single strike; their fate might well be even more miserable.

Although they were Jie Sect disciples.

But as a personal disciple, if Luo Fu killed them, he probably wouldn't even be punished by Tongtian Jiaozhu.

After all, their statuses were different, and on top of that, the Jie Sect had countless disciples.

Losing a few didn't count for much.

Not to mention that, in a certain sense, they had been in the wrong first.

"Junior-brother Luo Fu, you've hidden yourself very deeply indeed." Jin Ling looked at the returning Luo Fu and said with a bitter smile.

In the past, Holy Mother Jin Ling had said she would cover for Luo Fu.

Under normal circumstances, when Holy Mother Jin Ling said such a thing, there was no problem.

She, Holy Mother Jin Ling, was also a veteran Golden Immortal powerhouse.

Even facing Guang Chengzi in this Yicisan Sect competition, she had the confidence to stand against him.

But if she ran into Luo Fu, Holy Mother Jin Ling harbored no thought of victory in her heart.

Because even if she, Jin Ling, faced Guang Chengzi, she couldn't possibly suppress him so completely in every aspect, let alone blow him apart with a single punch.

"Senior-sister Jin Ling, I haven't been hiding anything." Luo Fu smiled. "Before, it was just that you all assumed my strength was that of an ordinary Golden Immortal."

"Ordinary Golden Immortal." Holy Mother Wudang shook her head. "Junior-brother Luo Fu, your strength now is at least that of a top-tier Golden Immortal. Among the teacher's disciples, perhaps only Senior-brother Duobao could match you in a fight."

"I…" Duobao's eyes shifted slightly. "Luo Fu, I hope that when you and I face off, you can bring out your true strength."

In the Yicisan Sect competition.
