Chapter 343 - Jian Wuchen
About an hour later, Ma Qingxue teleported out of the [Immortal Demon PaG.o.da].
When she looked at the rankings, she was still three levels away from Zhao Xuanxuan.
"How infuriating. When I make a breakthrough, I"ll definitely put my name back in the first place."
Ma Qingxue pouted and puffed up her cheeks. She was really cute.
She did not notice Qin Chuan.
"Qingxue!" Qin Chuan called out.
Ma Qingxue shuddered as if she was struck by lightning.
"Chuan!" Ma Qingxue looked over following the voice and her tears fell.
The lovesickness acc.u.mulated over five years erupted at this moment.
Qin Chuan"s silhouette flickered, instantly appearing before her.
The two hugged each other for a long time.
In the evening.
In Qin Chuan"s residence, there was a table of dishes.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were shocked when they saw the colorful and fragrant dishes.
"Brother, when did your cooking become so good?" Zhao Xuanxuan found it very strange.
She remembered that in the past, no matter what ingredients were used, the final product that Qin Chuan produced would always be a tragic sight.
As for the taste, he just had to guarantee that it wouldn"t kill them.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "There is an old senior who is proficient in cooking in the lands of legacy. So I learned it!
"Don"t just stand there and watch. Have a taste."
Qin Chuan urged.
The two immediately picked up their chopsticks and took a few pieces of meat.
"Mm! Delicious!" the two of them said simultaneously.
"Brother, your culinary skills need to be taken further. I think we can set up a specialization for cooking in the sect." Zhao Xuanxuan said.
Qin Chuan nodded his head, "That"s possible. According to what I know, in the cultivation world, there are some unique people who study the Dao of cooking and create a new cultivation system.
"It"s said that the dishes cooked by people who practice the Dao of cooking are not only delicious, but they also carry the effects of spirit pills. "
"If they have such an effect, then wouldn"t alchemists be out of jobs?"
"That"s not the case. Alchemists are still needed."
"Alright! Brother, now that you have such good culinary skills, you have to cook more in the future.
"Am I right, sister-in-law?"
Zhao Xuanxuan gave Ma Qingxue a look.
Ma Qingxue nodded and did not answer.
Qin Chuan gave Zhao Xuanxuan a knock on the head, "You"re the only one who"s a glutton!"
"Hmph! Well, too bad I"m your sister!"
"You!" Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I really spoiled you when you were young."
Bleh bleh bleh!
Zhao Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue in provocation.
Qin Chuan ignored her and placed some food into Ma Qingxue"s bowl.
When seeing this, Zhao Xuanxuan muttered under her breath, "Forgetting your sister when you have a wife!"
"What did you say? Do you want to be beaten again?" Qin Chuan gestured.
"Sister-in-law, look, my brother wants to hit me again." Zhao Xuanxuan immediately looked to Ma Qingxue for help.
Ma Qingxue patted Qin Chuan. "Don"t be so calculative with Xuanxuan. Eat!"
Qin Chuan put down his hand but used his gaze to warn Zhao Xuanxuan.
Zhao Xuanxuan was really thick-skinned!
She made a face.
As she watched the siblings, Ma Qingxue could only smile helplessly.
…
Two days later.
At the Immortal Cultivation University Sports Meet.
"Sect Master, why are you here?" w.a.n.g Zhixing and the other elders were surprised to see Qin Chuan.
"I heard that there was a rather formidable female student, so I specially came to take a look."
w.a.n.g Zhixing said, "Sect Master, the female student you"re talking about is Shen Qiangwei, right?"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded his head. "I"ve seen the recordings of her matches. Her attainments in array formations are quite high, and she has good potential."
w.a.n.g Zhixing said, "This girl has yet to reveal her true strength. Just her array formations alone have stumped many people.
"She is in group eight, and her opponents are much stronger than the partic.i.p.ants before her. She is a popular partic.i.p.ant in the champions.h.i.+p.
"I believe that the battle between the two sides today will be very exciting."
"Mm, mm!" Qin Chuan smiled. "I"m also looking forward to it."
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
More and more people entered the venue. Soon, the audience seats were filled. Even the standing platform was crowded.
During the opening, the host announced the name list for today"s matches.
When it came to Shen Qiangwei"s group, the audience"s cheers were obviously much louder than before.
Many people held up huge photos of Shen Qiangwei and screamed her name.
After a few matches, she was now ranked first on the popularity rankings.
Since the start of the compet.i.tion, no one had witnessed her true capabilities. Just her array formations alone allowed her to win easily.
The partic.i.p.ants were all well aware of Shen Qiangwei"s skills in array formations. In order to restrict this ability of hers, they had devised many tactics, but she could still set them up without anyone knowing.
After the array formations were activated, Shen Qiangwei"s victory was almost certain.
However, her opponent today was different.
He was Jian Wuchen, a popular contender for the champions.h.i.+p.
Jian Wuchen came from an ancient martial arts family and had been practicing the sword since he was young. His sword skills were superb.
After coming into contact with immortal cultivation, his Sword Dao reached a higher level.
In the previous matches, he had instantly killed his opponents with one strike.
Although Shen Qiangwei"s array formation was a headache, Jian Wuchen"s sword was very fast and carried astonis.h.i.+ng destructive power.
One hit would make one lose his combat ability instantly.
At the judges" panel.
"Jian Wuchen is sixty years old and is obsessed with the sword. He has only been in the university for half a year," w.a.n.g Zhixing introduced slowly.
"I can tell that his foundation in Sword Dao is very deep and has great potential." Qin Chuan said with certainty.
w.a.n.g Zhixing nodded. "Today"s battle will be very exciting."
Although Jian Wuchen"s sword was very fast, Shen Qiangwei was very agile. After all, she was also from an ancient martial arts family clan.
With the foundation of ancient martial arts, one will develop faster than ordinary people without any foundation after one begins cultivation. "
"That"s for sure. After all, cultivation involves martial arts." Qin Chuan replied.
As they conversed, the first match soon began.
In the three arenas, the partic.i.p.ants were fully prepared.
Following the referee"s command, the matches officially began.
Today was the quarterfinals of the Qi Refinement group. The winners would enter the semifinals.
Those who were able to make it to the quarterfinals were all quite decent. Other than selected individuals who were extremely strong, there would not be a situation of one-sided matches.
As soon as the matches began, the partic.i.p.ants began to exchange blows fiercely in the three arenas.
The commentators carried oxygen tanks on their backs and started commentating agitatedly.
Half an hour later, the first match ended.
The victor didn"t win easily. He had basically exchanged his own life for the opponents and persevered until the end.
The other two arenas were still locked in a stalemate, but everyone was exerting their full strength. The True Qi in their bodies was limited, and it was likely that the victor would be determined soon.
For such matches where the partic.i.p.ants were of similar strength, details were the key to victory. If there was a small mistake, the outcome would be very obvious.
Shen Qiangwei was in group eight. Everyone was looking forward to her match.
Jian Wuchen sat in the resting area. He closed his eyes and rested, adjusting his condition to its peak.
He was aware that his opponent today was not ordinary.
"Although the Shen family"s movement technique is very profound, my sword is clearly faster."
Jian Wuchen was confident in himself.
He had practiced swordsmans.h.i.+p for almost his entire life. If he were to lose to a little kid, he would want to step into his coffin.
…
"Arena two, the battle is over!"
"Arena three, the battle is over!"
"Group five, group six, please get ready!"
After one and a half hours…
"Group seven, group eight, please get ready!"
At this moment, everyone was seething with excitement.
Everyone"s most antic.i.p.ated battle was about to begin.
