Chapter 832: Spiritual Chi
Jiang Feng observed the match between the Xiuluo Squadron and Jialan Squadron for a while.
Members from both the Squadrons were all very powerful, and their rapport was quite well-built as well. But at this point, the way they fought was quite boring, and it quickly turned into a stalemate.
Very quickly, their one-hour rest was up. They could then challenge other Squadrons or get challenged by other Squadrons.
Sus and the others had also fully recharged their Inner Chi. They then stood in the center of the Arena together, waiting for the next challenger to appear.
Jiang Feng did not actively choose another opponent since jumping into another Arena might waste some of their Inner Chi. He did not want to expend any of it.
While he did not want to look for others, others would not simply let them go so easily.
The Battle Dragon Squadron that lost to the Xiuluo Squadron immediately challenged the Huaxia Squadron and appeared in their arena.
They were the first Squadron of Planet Battle Dragon. They were also called Battle Dragon A Squadron. The captain was called Manglong and his power was at Heaven Realm Nine Stars. He was a support. The skill that he learned was a buffing skill called Dragon Shamanism that he brought from the planet. He was among the best when it came to support.
In the Battle Dragon Planet, dragons existed. However, their dragons were mostly Western-type lizard-like dragons.
They would fight with dragons quite commonly, and they were very powerful when it came to fighting. The way they fought was also quite brutal.
Unfortunately, Jiang Feng did not see how the Xiuluo Squadron had defeated the Battle Dragon Squadron. If not, he could have gotten some experience.
“Go! Basic tactic!”
For safety’s sake, Jiang Feng used the basic tactic.
As soon as he said that, he then attacked the opponent’s DPS. Sus attacked the opponent’s crowd-controller, w.a.n.ke attacked the opponent’s tank, Huang Xiaoyu was avoiding the opponent’s a.s.sa.s.sin while Kalosi went to attack Manglong.
“Kalosi, be careful. Manglong is not easy to deal with,” Jiang Feng reminded Kalosi.
“Of course, understood,” Kalosi replied as she went directly toward Manglong.
When the second compet.i.tion for the Huaxia Squadron began, all the other Squadrons’ compet.i.tion had also begun.
But during this round, all ten Squadrons were fighting quite conservatively to the point where many people were feeling bored.
Other than the slow rate of the battles, the main reason was that all ten Squadrons were quite close to each other in terms of power. None of them could do anything to the opposing Squadron within a short period of time.
***
Just when all the players were becoming sleepy watching the compet.i.tion, they did not know what was happening nearby.
All the monsters, whether they were in the unexplored or explored territories within the Great World of Tianji, became agitated.
The monsters that were weak began to scatter while monsters that had reached Heaven Realm Greater Completion were filled with excitement and expectations.
Boom!
After a short while, the entire Great World of Tianji began to shake as if the very earth was shaking.
The shaking was the most severe at the center of the Great World of Tianji. Many mountains had broken into parts, and the ground completely collapsed as the trees were buried.
Leisi Area, Xingyue Area, and others were only slightly shaking. But because of the continuous quake, many players felt it anyway.
Some of the players were awakened by the earthquake. They looked at the ground shaking beneath their feet, confusion on their faces.
“What is happening? Why is the Earth trembling? An earthquake?”
“Can this be caused by the birth of some powerful monster?”
“I feel like something bad is going to happen!”
…
Just when the players were discussing the Earthquake, two old men appeared in the central area.
One of the old men only had one arm and he had greyish-black hair. The other old man had white hair, but he simply looked like a middle-aged man.
Both of them stood at the top of a cliff, looking at the stone pillar in front of them.
The stone pillar was exceptionally large and was hundreds of meters tall as it extended into the clouds.
However, the stone pillar was slightly tilted and there was a crack appearing on it. Powerful energy kept on flowing from underneath the stone pillar. It was this energy that had caused the Great World of Tianji to quake.
The white-haired old man asked the one-armed old man, “Dugu, how much longer do you think this pillar can stand?”
The one-armed old man then said, “If this continues on, ten days at most.”
It was at this time a faint, green gas began to leak from the cracks on the stone pillars. The moment the gas leaked from the crack, it quickly dissipated into the air.
The two old men took a deep breath and they instantly felt refreshed. All the hidden illnesses that were left behind after their breakthrough seemed to be recovering.
“Spiritual Chi! That means that it should be those two races that were sealed,” The white-haired old man said.
“Xuanling Planet and Xuanmo Planet?”
“Correct!”
“Sanfeng, no matter which planet they’re from, we might be able to treat our injuries left behind from our breakthrough all those years ago now that the Spiritual Chi had appeared. We should quickly absorb the Spiritual Chi before they escape so that we can convert our Inner Chi into True Chi!” The one-armed old man said to the white-haired man as his eyes beamed.
If Jiang Feng were here, he would recognize these two immediately.
They were both famous historical figures. They were Zhang Sanfeng, creator of the Wudang Sect, and the creator of the Dugu Nine Swords, Dugu Qiubai.
Both of them were extremely powerful, but they could not convert their Inner Chi into True Chi after their breakthrough. When they battle, it would harm their body from the inside. After a long time, their bodies were on the verge of collapsing.
“True, we should try to heal ourselves before the other old things make their way here!” Zhang Sanfeng nodded and he jumped into the air, toward the cracks on the pillar.
A sword created by Inner Chi appeared under Dugu Qiubai and he flew away on sword.
Both of them landed on the cracks and they found a place where they could sit. They then began to channel their marital art, absorbing the Spiritual Chi coming from inside.
Half an hour later, several figures appeared.
All of them were the leaders of their respective planets. There were those with Western faces, Asian faces, and even those with the heads of beasts.
However, they were all quite old.
A short man with a crooked back stepping on a giant turtle looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Dugu Qiubai on the crack of the pillars, and he said angrily, “d.a.m.n it! Those two old things managed to get here first! We can’t let them recover! Once their Inner Chi has all been converted into True Chi, we’re all done for!”
“Stop the provocation, old turtle. Do you think everyone is as calculative as you?” Dugu Qiubai said to him coldly as he glared at the old man.
“What did you say, you cripple? Are you looking for a fight again?” The crooked old man shouted at Dugu Qiubai.
He wanted to disrupt Dugu Qiubai and Zhang Sanfeng so that they could nott recover from their injuries.
“Dugu, focus on treating our injuries. Once we have somewhat been healed, we will cut him down together!” Zhang Sanfeng said calmly as he began to breathe in the Spiritual Chi coming out from the cracks.
While Dugu Qiubai was quite agitated, he still knew what took priority.
The most important thing now was to heal their injuries. When they could convert some of their Inner Chi into True Chi, that would be the final day the crooked old man saw the sun.
The crooked old man kept on screaming, but Zhang Sanfeng and Dugu Qiubai did not pay him any attention. He frowned, and then flew up as he rode on the giant turtle. He then landed on the cracks and began to absorb the Spiritual Chi from within the cracks.
He knew that once Zhang Sanfeng and Dugu Qiubai had completely absorbed and digested the Spiritual Chi, he would be in great danger. For his own safety, he stopped his provocation and began to absorb the Spiritual Chi as well.
Some of the others also flew onto the cracks and began to absorb the Spiritual Chi.
Once they had all flown in and began to absorb the Spiritual Chi, they did not notice that a thick fog was slowly floating toward them and engulfing them.
