Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 343: Displaying Their Divine Powers

In the viewing seats.

Celestial Thunder True Master’s face was grim.

Master Cold Jade and Master Gu Feng were both beaming with joy.

The stronger Shen Xuan’s displayed strength, the more pride they felt.

Especially Master Cold Jade.

Shen Xuan had been under her tutelage for two years.

Shen Xuan’s strength had made incredible progress, reaching an unimaginable height.

Among the sect disciples in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, he stood out significantly.

He made his participating fellow sect brothers feel inferior.

Even the once popular Lei Yaoyang was completely powerless against Shen Xuan.

They could all see it clearly.

Shen Xuan deliberately destroyed Lei Yaoyang’s Lifebound Magical Treasure and shattered his Dao Heart.

The True Masters knew well in their hearts.

They knew that Lei Yaoyang had bullied Shen Xuan before.

Shen Xuan’s actions now were merely to settle past grievances.

He did not resort to lethal means against Lei Yaoyang.

With a prodigy like Shen Xuan, who would care about Lei Yaoyang!

Only Celestial Thunder True Master kept a grim face, pondering something unknown.

On the demonstration platform.

Shen Xuan watched Lei Yaoyang’s figure gradually disappear, and calmly walked down.

Gu Jinqin, the Wu sisters, and Liu Bingyu all looked at Shen Xuan in shock.

Beside them was an immortal maiden in white, as cold as a lotus.

It was Qin Yuehan, whom they hadn’t seen in days.

She had just won a match and came over from another demonstration platform.

Seeing Shen Xuan smiling broadly as he approached.

Qin Yuehan slightly bowed: "Congratulations Senior Brother, on your triumph."

"Congratulations to you as well, Junior Sister Qin."

They exchanged smiles.

The mountain that once suffocated them both.

Now was merely slight hardships, not worth mentioning to outsiders.

"Senior Brother, you’re amazing!"

"Senior Brother, you’re the best!"

The Wu sisters, one on each side, arranged a chair for Shen Xuan, letting him sit comfortably.

Their eyes were full of stars.

Shen Xuan had become a colossal money tree.

With just a gentle shake, a fortune of Spirit Stones would fall.

Gu Jinqin couldn’t help but ask: "Senior Brother, are you really only sixty to seventy percent confident in winning the championship?"

"Why does it seem to me that you’re completely confident?"

"Senior Sister Gu, the Senior Brother is being humble!"

"Exactly, with Senior Brother’s strength, winning the preparatory group is a piece of cake."

"In my opinion, Senior Brother is no worse than those in the seed group!"

"That’s right. Even Lei Yaoyang, who is a Core Formation seed of the sect, is no match!"

The Wu sisters sang praises, elevating Shen Xuan high above.

Sincere compliments flowed freely from their lips.

Although their voices were not loud.

The surrounding sect disciples could hear them clearly.

Unexpectedly.

No one dared to refute.

Their gazes towards Shen Xuan were filled with admiration.

The Cultivation World is actually quite simple.

Strength commands respect.

Only the strong can attain status.

"Alright! Everyone, my junior sisters, please quiet down!"

"Senior Brother hasn’t even advanced to the semifinals yet!"

"You all must prepare for your own matches!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

He couldn’t help feeling a bit proud.

Five junior sisters, each with a fairy-like face, surrounded him, their eyes filled with admiration.

This scene made the nearby fellow sect brothers immensely envious.

"Senior Brother, earlier, did you really chew and swallow Lei Yaoyang’s Flying Sword Treasure!"

Gu Jinqin asked Shen Xuan in shock.

"I learned a new Body Refining Technique from Master Cold Jade."

Shen Xuan humbly replied.

"Senior Brother is truly amazing!"

Gu Jinqin’s gaze at Shen Xuan carried a trace of regret.

She could determine that Shen Xuan’s cultivation talent far surpassed her own.

Indeed, he had been held back by Master Gu Feng.

Only two years under Master Cold Jade’s tutelage.

His realm cultivation remained unchanged.

Yet his combat power had skyrocketed.

To a height she could not reach.

It all seemed like a dream.

Witnessing Shen Xuan rise like a dragon leaping from the sea, dazzling brightly.

Having the strength to win the preparatory group.

Despite being mentally prepared.

At this moment, Gu Jinqin still felt an extraordinarily exaggerated and unreal dream-like sensation.

She even felt that Shen Xuan was no less than any Golden Core Inheritor of the sect.

Even in the seed group, he could stand out.

However, the next moment, Gu Jinqin shook her head.

Shen Xuan was only at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

If he competed in the seed group, achieving a good result would be difficult.

He would have to wait for his realm cultivation to rise before it was possible.

Perhaps it wouldn’t take many years before Shen Xuan could participate in the seed group’s competition.

Gu Jinqin thought to herself.

At this time, she did not know.

It wouldn’t be long before Shen Xuan would stand on the demonstration platform of the seed group.

...

"Li Chengfeng, the first demonstration platform."

A resonant voice suddenly sounded, immediately drawing the attention of many in the square.

"It’s the direct disciple of Celestial Wind True Master! A hot favorite to win!"

"Senior Brother, let’s go have a look!"

Gu Jinqin boldly pushed aside the sect disciples standing in front.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan behind her, the sect disciples automatically made way.

"Senior Brother, this position is great!"

"Let us through, don’t block my Senior Brother’s view!"

The Wu sisters placed the chair in the center, right beneath the first demonstration platform, the best spot for watching.

Shen Xuan gave a bow in all directions to show his apologies.

Then he sat down confidently.

The five junior sisters clustered around him, conspicuously standing out among the crowd.

But no one pointed fingers at them.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, as the popular favorite to win, deservedly so, was beyond dispute.

He hadn’t even summoned a Magical Treasure, and with just his physical strength, easily defeated Lei Yaoyang of Celestial Thunder Peak.

Who was a Golden Core Inheritor.

The sect disciples, each of whom had struggled through countless hardships competing out of the vast sea of people.

No matter how much they begrudge, they wouldn’t offend a figure like Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan gazed at Li Chengfeng on the demonstration platform, curiosity creeping into his heart.

This person was the favored disciple of Celestial Wind True Master, a candidate among the Core Formation seeds.

According to the betting shop’s odds, his strength should be above that of Lei Yaoyang.

The one battling him is merely an ordinary Direct Disciple of a True Master.

Only to see Li Chengfeng move like the wind, elusive, giving an unpredictable feeling.

That ordinary Direct Disciple of a True Master was using all of his abilities.

Yet he couldn’t attack the rapidly moving Li Chengfeng.

Just relying on the instantaneous Wind Escape Technique, Li Chengfeng was able to remain undefeated.

Waiting until his opponent was exhausted.

Li Chengfeng softly said, "Apologies."

Condensing the wind into blades.

A whistling sound could be heard.

Over a dozen wind blades swiftly slashed through the air.

In just moments, his opponent was knocked off the Demonstration Platform.

Decisive and neat.

"Li Chengfeng is the victor."

Gu Jinqin was slightly surprised.

"Senior Brother, Li Chengfeng has mastered the Wind Escape Technique!"

"I know."

"So, Senior Brother, is there a way to defeat him?"

In Gu Jinqin’s words, there was a hint of anticipation.

The Wu sisters’ hearts were also pounding uncontrollably.

Qin Yuehan and Liu Bingyu both looked at Shen Xuan.

Some sect disciples around seemed indifferent, but in fact, they were all listening intently.

"Seventy percent confidence!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Although Li Chengfeng was at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, skilled in Wind Escape Technique and Wind Blade Technique,

in Shen Xuan’s eyes, he had the agility but lacked in power.

He could easily ignore Li Chengfeng’s Wind Blade Technique, breaking through with force, and directly knock Li Chengfeng off the Demonstration Platform.

In the end.

Li Chengfeng was only at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

His Spiritual Power and flesh body were vastly different from Shen Xuan’s.

...

"Wang Ziwei, second Demonstration Platform."

The sect disciples below the platform hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of Li Chengfeng’s performance when another heavyweight came onto the scene.

This time, Gu Jinqin and the Wu sisters, well-versed in the routine, chose a good spot for Shen Xuan.

The surrounding sect disciples all gathered around Shen Xuan.

They exchanged glances, knowing smiles, and showed schadenfreude.

Hidden Image True Master’s Direct Disciple was also a hot contender for the top spot.

Their odds were even lower than Li Chengfeng’s.

Hidden Image True Master was well-versed in many arts.

Wang Ziwei was even more reserved, rarely showcasing his abilities.

Now given the opportunity to see his techniques, naturally many were interested.

Earlier, Li Chengfeng had already displayed extraordinary prowess.

Wang Ziwei, being equally renowned, shouldn’t be less than Li Chengfeng in strength.

The one competing with Wang Ziwei was also an ordinary Direct Disciple of a True Master.

Knowing well he was outmatched,

he still displayed all he had learned in life, courageously contending under everyone’s gaze.

But alas.

His opponent was Wang Ziwei, the Direct Disciple of Hidden Image True Master.

Just by activating a Protective Technique, a Golden Light Shield, he was fully protected.

No matter how his Magical Treasure attacked,

it couldn’t break Wang Ziwei’s Golden Light Shield.

Ultimately, Wang Ziwei merely pointed a finger.

His opponent was struck by a lightning-fast golden arrow of light, knocked off the Demonstration Platform.

Causing exclamations among the sect disciples below.

Wang Ziwei similarly didn’t bring out a Magical Treasure.

With only the Golden Light Shield and Golden Arrow Technique, he easily won.

...

Afterwards, Yan Haoran and Jin Jincheng didn’t even have a chance to make a move.

The opponents they faced willingly conceded.

This left the sect disciples below feeling quite regretful.

Without realizing it, the sect’s small trial of the day came to an end.

Everyone left the square and scattered.

In groups of threes and fives, they excitedly discussed and exchanged experiences of today’s demonstration matches, evaluating the impressive performances of several experts, and debating the final rankings for the preparatory group.

Shen Xuan was honored to become the main highlight.

He and Jin Jincheng, Yan Haoran, Wang Ziwei, and Li Chengfeng were all on the list of the top five contenders.

Moreover, Shen Xuan was subtly above Wang Ziwei and Li Chengfeng.

After all, he had claimed a seventy percent chance of defeating Li Chengfeng.

Everyone firmly believed him.

At this point, there was no need to boast.

Instead, some conservatism was expected.

Otherwise, it would just invite ridicule.

As for Jin Jincheng and Yan Haoran,

neither of them made a move from beginning to end.

All of their opponents conceded voluntarily.

No one dared to deny that these two were the strongest forces of the preparatory group.

As for Shen Xuan, he was the dark horse that emerged out of nowhere.

The leader of the preparatory seeds was likely to come from among these three.

On the way back,

the Wu sisters were chattering away.

"Senior Brother, those people were such cowards, they didn’t dare to face Jin Jincheng or Yan Haoran!"

"Senior Brother, you can beat those two, right?"

Seeing the huge bet about to pay off, the Wu sisters were clearly excited, chattering non-stop beside Shen Xuan.

Them and Gu Jinqin placed a bet of one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

If Shen Xuan takes the title,

the three major betting houses would owe over seven million Spirit Stones.

This was a huge sum!

No matter how it’s split, as core members, the sisters could each take tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, right?

Many cultivators in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment struggle to earn even twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones a year.

In just a few days, they could earn what cultivators at the same level did in decades.

How could they not be excited!

"I think I can!"

Shen Xuan replied casually.

His target was never his fellow preparatory group members.

According to the sect’s small competition rules,

the preparatory group’s points were only one-third of the seed group’s.

This meant that the high-tier Spiritual Objects on the reward list were for the Golden Core True Inheritors in the seed group.

Shen Xuan reckoned,

even if he took the title in the preparatory group,

his points wouldn’t qualify him to exchange for the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood.

Hearing Shen Xuan’s confident response,

the Wu sisters became even more enthusiastic.

They couldn’t have been more attentive to Shen Xuan,

calling him "Senior Brother" in a way that couldn’t have been more affectionate.

While speaking, 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

there were a few figures in front, blocking the way.

It was none other than Jin Jincheng, Wang Ziwei, and Li Chengfeng.

"Junior Brother Shen, the three of us have something we’d like to discuss with you in private."
