Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I was hovering in the air and looking down at Ji Riyal.

“How is he hovering in the air? He is just at the Core Formation Realm!” one person in the audience shouted with shock.

“It is just hovering. That can be done with a few secret techniques. If he is able to fly, then that would be a cause to worry. It would be a testament to going against the heavens if he can fly in the Core Formation Stage.” another said.

I heard this and almost laughed. But now was not the time nor the occasion to reveal all of my cards.

My spear rose up and flew to the ground. Ji Riyal was struggling to maintain his balance in the crumbling arena.

But he did not give up. A sword light clashed with the spear, and it came crashing back towards me. I looked at him with surprise. I did not expect him to be able to unleash such an attack while struggling without any footing.

Without any cultivation, I thought that he wouldn’t be able to stay strong on the ground, but what he did next shocked me.

He raised his sword and just flicked it a few times. Slashed appeared across the ring, and all of a sudden, Ji Riyal had a stable place to stand. It was like he was carving the ring, like an expert butcher.

“All of us have incredible cards, but this is just true mystery. Mastery of the sword. If only I could obtain the mastery of frost like that, then I would be able to freeze him where he stood without any effort.” I sighed.

“The fight is not over. I hope that you will not put your focus elsewhere.” Ji Riyal’s voice rang out.

I saw that a sword energy was incoming towards me. It was bigger and stronger than the previous ones. This was his true power that he was hiding till now.

I put my spear in front of me and took a deep breath.

Flowing Cloud Spear! Third Form!

This was the final form that I could use right now. The other forms had been unlocked, and I knew them, but I did not have the time to focus on them. This was the peak of the Flowing Cloud Spear that I could achieve.

I felt the spear lighten considerably. It felt like a cloud indeed, but also like it was water. It flew to meet the sword energy that came toward me and embraced it like a companion.

The rigid spear was flexible now, and it just bound the sword energy, not letting it move.

But it could not just extinguish the sword energy like it did with the spear energy against Ren Ming. It deflected the attack to somewhere else.

The sword energy hit the ring’s boundary, and runes appeared. The runes dimmed down a bit. This was a terrifying attack that had the potential to destroy the protective boundary around the ring!

Seeing this, the audience felt afraid. Who wouldn’t? These attacks were not something that any one could defend easily.

“Worry not! With me here, I will see who can get hurt!” Li Tian stood up and declared.

With that, the disciples calmed down. That was right! The elders and the sect master were standing right next to them! Who could hurt them?

I smiled and continued to hover. This was best for me.

I did not require any footing, because in this clash with ice and sword, I did not need to use any movements.

I raised my hands again, and ice appeared on the platform that Ji Riyal made. It was not like before though. The ice tried to permeate the legs of Ji Riyal and freeze him where he was.

“I am not going to just sit down and take this like last time. Lest you think that I am throwing away this match.” Ji Riyal chuckled as he raised his sword.

Two lights briefly flashed. Everyone looked at his feet. The ice that was coming up calmly slid.

“Such control! He carefully made sure that the ice would be cut down and not his own leg! This is a true genius!” one person commented.

I was also shocked at this display. It was simply too skillful.

But I was done yet. My Qi raced to my back bone, and translucent wings formed behind my back. Then, I shot forward.

I appeared right behind Ji Riyal and raised my spear.

He turned around raised his sword as well. My spear was stopped before it even moved forward.

“Just by rasing his sword, the energy that it gave off was enough to stop my spear? This is too domineering.” I shook my head.

Ji Riyal was about to attack again, but a barrier of Ice suddenly appeared to separate the both of us.

“If I go up again, then there will be some speculation and people might be able to understand what my movement art is. I need to do something else.” I decided.

An ice platform was created opposite to the one that Ji Riyal carved out. I landed on that. But instead of slipping, I felt most safe here. This was my domain. Something that I had created.

Then, I aimed my spear at him.

“Ethereal Weapon Arts! Spear! Third form! One spear to break through the heavens!” I pointed the spear at Ji Riyal.

The spear hummed. There was nothing else. This was the spear, and the spear alone going forward. There was no manifestation involved.

The spear shot forward at a terrifying speed. As it approached the barrier of ice that I had created, it parted to make way for the spear.

I smiled. “This should do it.” I was confident now. I did not want to use this attack just yet, but I wanted to win. And now, seeing Ji Riyal’s face through the parting, I knew that this was going to be the critical point.

Clang!
