Chapter 202 Five Peaks Discussion Begins, Large-Scale Skill-Stealing Scene

Chapter 202: Chapter 117: Five Peaks Discussion Begins, Large-Scale Skill-Stealing Scene

However, right now, Gangding Peak truly had no one who could step forward to engage in a discussion of the Dao with this Zhao Rushi.

After all, discussing the Dao was different from Magical Combat. Magical Combat tested a Cultivator’s overall abilities, but discussing the Dao primarily focused on both sides’ mastery of the Dao. It mainly centered around the clash of their Mental Realms. Therefore, if anyone wanted to discuss the Dao with Zhao Rushi, it had to be a Body Cultivator who had reached the Dao Entry Realm.

Seeing no one stepping out from the Cyan Cloud Sect, Zhao Rushi seemed to have expected this and mocked, "No way, no way. Don’t tell me that in the massive Cyan Cloud Sect, you can’t even find a single Body Cultivator who has mastered the Dao Entry Realm?"

As soon as he said this, many disciples of Gangding Peak immediately showed anger.

Some outspoken Gangding Peak disciples yelled directly, "You’re just taking advantage of the situation! If Brother Luo wasn’t in seclusion, do you think you’d even have the right to bark here?"

"Exactly! You just know that our sect’s geniuses are all busy preparing for the True Immortal Trial five years from now, so you used this opportunity to come and challenge us to a discussion. Total scumbag behavior!"

In response, Zhao Rushi proved worthy of being the first person sent out by Jade Void Mountain—his skin was incredibly thick. He didn’t respond to any of their insults, merely asking if anyone was going to step forward to discuss the Dao with him today. If no one came out, it would count as a victory for Jade Void Mountain.

"Make way! Let Lord Meow deal with this kid!" Looking at the smug Zhao Rushi, the Meow King finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward.

However, its appearance didn’t alleviate the current disadvantage of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Body Cultivators. As a Spirit Beast, the Meow King’s greatest advantage didn’t lie in the clash of Mental Realms, but rather in a Spirit Beast’s inherently powerful physique and various bloodline talents. Therefore, in a Dao discussion that purely competed in Mental Realms, the Meow King was essentially using its own weakness to attack the enemy’s strength.

But in this situation, there was no other choice but for the Meow King to step up. After all, if it didn’t come forward, the Cyan Cloud Sect would truly have no one left.

Watching the Meow King jump onto the Dao platform, Zhao Rushi laughed. "To actually have a Spirit Beast step forward to discuss the Dao... your Cyan Cloud Sect truly has no one left!"

Not giving Zhao Rushi a chance to continue mocking, the Meow King immediately put its front paws on its hips and said arrogantly, "Save the nonsense. If you can’t even out-discuss this Meow, you have even less right to discuss the Dao with anyone else in my sect.

"After all, what is there to say about someone who can’t even out-discuss a Spirit Beast?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rushi immediately said meaningfully, "Oh? So you mean that as long as I beat you, your Cyan Cloud Sect can still send out someone else?"

The Meow King cursed inwardly, realizing it seemed to have fallen for a trap. It knew very well that among the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Body Cultivators present, only it—a Spirit Beast—had reached the Dao Entry Realm. After all, Body Cultivators were different from other Cultivators; they spent most of their energy polishing their physical bodies. Therefore, very few Body Cultivators could reach the Dao Entry Realm during the Body Refining and Foundation Establishment Realms.

Thinking of this, the Meow King immediately said in a deep voice, "Don’t worry about all that. Let’s see you beat Lord Meow first."

As its words fell, a massive tiger with slanted eyes and a white forehead suddenly appeared behind the Meow King. As soon as the illusory tiger appeared, it displayed an astonishing aura that made many people subconsciously take a half-step back. The deterrent force of the King of Hundred Beasts was unmistakably revealed at this moment.

However, quite a few people in the crowd remained completely unaffected. Without exception, these people were all existences who had mastered the Dao Entry Realm.

In the crowd, Yi Hanqing held a Wine Gourd, drinking freely and easily, as if he hadn’t even noticed the ox and tiger that appeared on the Dao platform. Shangguan Yunmeng held a handful of sunflower seeds she had gotten from who-knew-where, munching on them with great relish. It seemed that compared to watching the Dao discussion in the arena, she would rather eat more of the seeds in her hand.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, was watching very intently. However, his focus wasn’t because he cared about the outcome between Zhao Rushi and the Meow King, but because he wanted to secretly learn their Fist Intent.

That was right. Lu Chen’s primary goal in coming to the Five Peaks Discussion was to see if he could learn other people’s Dao Entry Realms.

After all, once he learned that progressing from Entering the Dao to the Harmonization Dao required the fusion of multiple Dao Entry Realms, Lu Chen understood that the Dao Entry Level skills he currently possessed might not be quite enough. Originally, he thought that as long as he accumulated enough Experience Points, he could upgrade his Dragon Transformation Sword Intent to the Harmonization Realm. But now, it seemed that a million Experience Points was merely the most basic threshold for the Harmonization Realm. The Effect of a skill in the Harmonization Realm would also depend on the number of Dao Entry Realms he had mastered.

If he were to rely on his own Cultivation, he wasn’t sure how long it would take to cultivate a Dao Entry Level skill. This was because not all skills could easily undergo a Breaking Realm to reach the Dao Entry Realm. But if he could directly learn the Dao Entry Realms of everyone present, things would be completely different.

Lu Chen had already verified this point back when he fought the Gold-devouring Ant-man. At the time, he had merely fought a single battle with the Gold-devouring Ant-man and had learned the Mountain-Breaking Fist from him. And the Mountain-Breaking Fist was a skill that could be directly cultivated all the way to the Dao Entry Realm.

Therefore, this was exactly Lu Chen’s objective now. With the Cyan Lotus Pupil, Lu Chen felt that even if he was just watching from the sidelines, as long as he had enough time, secretly learning a few things shouldn’t be difficult.

Just as Lu Chen was pondering his plan to steal skills, the battle of Mental Realms on the Dao platform began. The Meow King and Zhao Rushi both stood perfectly still without making a move, but the ox and tiger manifested by their Mental Realms crashed into each other. The attacks between the two behemoths were incredibly fierce, and every single move carried a certain special Dao Yun.
