Chapter 34 Tenth on the Human Excellence List! Bang!
Weapons clashed, exchanging blows in an instant, with flashes of fire blossoming like iron trees in a downpour.
He Huan's hands were already trembling in an instant, falling into a passive defense, finding it hard to believe the peak spear technique displayed by Gu Wen.
He was using the Profound Bright Spear? Why was it so powerful?
In the mundane world, the long weapon reigns supreme, this is universally acknowledged in the cultivation world.
Before reaching the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, in a one-on-one confrontation, the one with the spear would inevitably win.
That's why He Huan chose the spear, forsaking the use of magical power in his spear technique.
While it was not of high level, it was not something that could be achieved in a few days.
Every place has its hierarchy, while you cultivate your spear technique for a day, others may cultivate theirs to a level akin to pure fire, and there are even those beyond human capabilities who can cultivate their spear intent in a day.
Weapons, above spear technique is spear intent, followed by will, and above all is divine, achieving perfection in the Dao.
And He Huan had already cultivated the Qi of the Military Family, standing out among most worldly cultivators, especially when most people were still at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
As long as he didn't encounter those monsters on the Destiny List, even if it was someone ranked high on the Human Excellence List, he was confident in exchanging a few moves.
But now, he was being suppressed and attacked by this unknown figure who wasn't even on the list!?
He Huan did not underestimate his opponent.
In just their brief exchange, he realized that Gu Wen was not weak, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
He remembered that although the Profound Bright Spear was exquisite, it was often used by major sects to solidify the foundation of their disciples' Qi cultivation and as a basis for future spear techniques.
However, the spear technique itself had not reached the level of spear intent, yet Gu Wen possessed spear intent.
This person's spear technique had no flaws, he would lose, he would definitely lose!
Attacks like a downpour from the sky made it difficult for He Huan to defend himself.
Just as he was about to be completely defeated, he heard a faint cracking sound, and cracks appeared on the long spear in Gu Wen's hand.
His weapon was just an ordinary one!
With this thought, He Huan made a bold move, and Gu Wen raised his spear high and smashed it down.
Bang!
Gu Wen's long spear shattered, despite being protected by spear intent, it was ultimately just a wooden stick.
He stepped back, and He Huan rushed forward, raising his spear to strike.
The rain curtain turned into a new spear handle, the broken half-stick struck forward, spear intent turned into will, and the silver spear fell.
The rolling spear intent transformed into a crimson dragon, instantly breaking through He Huan's mental defenses.
He Huan knelt on the ground, the silver spear in his hand fell to the ground, splashing water.
The dark red spearhead that should have pierced him disappeared, leaving only a broken and messy wooden stick.
He was stunned, unable to believe it.
In his hand was not just an ordinary weapon, it wasn't even a weapon, just a wooden stick!
And that was spear intent just now?
Damn it, which major sect's monster was this again?
"Urgh!"
He Huan's confusion turned into a mouthful of blood once again, and faint golden light appeared on his body, a sign of his protective measure being depleted.
Gu Wen casually discarded the broken stick and said lightly, "You are now eleventh, He Huan of the White Saint."
Threads of celestial secrets flew towards the heavens, beyond the realm of immortals, standing three ancient and simple stone tablets inscribed with three great Dao texts.
Heaven, Earth, Human.
The Human Excellence List trembled slightly, countless divine thoughts crossed thousands of miles in an instant, converging in one place, attracting countless divine gazes.
The position that originally belonged to He Huan shifted slightly downwards, golden characters floated up one by one, finally settling down in tranquility.
Eleventh on the Human Excellence List, inheritor of the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Gate, He Huan.
Tenth on the Human Excellence List, no sect, no faction, Red Dust.
Ninth on the Human Excellence List, Blood Lotus Sect, Crane Lord.
The torrential rain continued, Gu Wen looked at the opponent's deteriorating state but had no intention of continuing to attack.
He had already exerted all his strength just now, yet only managed to injure him.
According to Yu Hua's words, all those who entered the world were geniuses of the sects, even the wandering cultivators were blessed with great fortune, possessing countless mysterious methods.
Just because he wasn't injured didn't mean the opponent wouldn't get hurt if he fought desperately.
Moreover, apart from exchanging a few moves, they didn't have any deep-seated grudges, not worth fighting to the death.
At this moment, Gu Wen felt a slight pain in his abdomen, there was a wound the size of a grain of rice on his abdomen.
If not for the Spirit Jade Body Protection Technique, he would have been injured too.
And if not for Yu Hua, with just the Profound Bright Spear and the Jade Clear Foundation, he would probably have a hard time winning.
Gu Wen clearly felt that cultivation was not just about practicing one technique to death, but required a combination of techniques such as mental cultivation, offensive techniques, body techniques, body protection techniques, and even the need for weapons.
Lacking mental cultivation made all techniques useless, lacking offensive techniques made it difficult to kill enemies, lacking body techniques made it hard to reach distant enemies, lacking body protection made one vulnerable, and even weapons were necessary.
And using the Jade Clear Sword Intent to comprehend the fifth level of spear intent was also one of the factors for victory.
Although it was not a breakthrough in battle, it was a breakthrough before the battle.
He Huan smiled bitterly, "Brother Dao, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, except for my little wife, everything else is yours."
"You are quite sentimental."
Gu Wen suddenly remembered the gossip he had heard about Hu Sanyuan's wife cheating on him, leading to a divorce case in the government office.
There were probably two ways to divorce in Da Gan, one was the common way of divorcing a wife, where the husband unilaterally decided the marital status.
The other was mutual consent, where both parties agreed to divorce, similar to modern marriages, but the specific implementation was based on the husband's issuance of a divorce letter, and the situation remained unchanged.
If it reached the government office, it was most likely the second type, where the woman wanted to leave but the man refused to let her go.
It seemed that this guy was causing trouble.
Gu Wen observed the handsome face in front of him, charming and extraordinary, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that had a hint of femininity not found in ordinary men.
In short, a young and handsome man, reminiscent of ancient opera actors.
He Huan felt a bit embarrassed and afraid of being misunderstood by Gu Wen, explaining, "I practice the Yin-Yang Union Technique, which requires practicing with a woman. I only heard that Zhao's nine sons spent a huge sum to buy elixirs, thinking I could benefit from it, but unexpectedly, the beauty cried in the middle of the night, so I had to take care of her."
"I'm not someone who turns a blind eye to others, I will take her away from Da Gan in the future to take care of her until her old age."
Gu Wen's expression was strange, but he had no mood to criticize others' morals, saying, "I'm here just for the elixirs."
"Brother Dao is also here? Excellent, excellent!"
He Huan's eyes lit up, as if he had met a like-minded person, but Gu Wen interrupted, saying, "They are all mine."
"Cough, cough, of course they are all Brother Dao's." He Huan's mouth twitched, thinking that he still had a favor to ask from the other party, his face was filled with a smile, "Brother Dao should know that Zhao's nine sons have ordered a Condensing Dao Pill from the Thousand Phoenix Sect, a treasure pill that can increase the speed of Foundation Establishment."
"I didn't know."
Gu Wen nodded, "I came here for that."
"But the pill is not here, or rather, the pill has not been refined yet, these are just some auxiliary medicines."
He Huan wiped the silver spear in his hand, turning it into a silver ring on his wrist.
Gu Wen was somewhat envious, he really needed a weapon that could be put away now.
After all, Da Gan prohibited weapons, and he didn't want to leave any handles for himself.
But after today's battle, he felt that he had to take some risks to get a big weapon.
Otherwise, if he fought against an opponent with a magic weapon next time, he would definitely suffer a big loss in this aspect.
If the strengths were similar, he would undoubtedly lose.
To cultivate techniques, to buy elixirs, to fight with weapons, cultivation was truly a matter of lacking one of the three treasures.
Fortunately, Yu Hua provided the techniques, otherwise, he would really become a poor Daoist.
"These are just some elixirs that can be bought with silver, the real deal wouldn't be handled by these ordinary folks."
He Huan's voice brought Gu Wen back to reality, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
All these thousands of elixirs were just auxiliary medicines, how precious would the Condensing Dao Pill be!
Many books are hard to find now, so cherish them while you can.
