Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 751 - 85: Tai Xiao Thunder Dragon, Winning the 3rd Match

Chapter 751: Chapter 85: Tai Xiao Thunder Dragon, Winning the 3rd Match

Turtle shell.

For some reason, Qiu Changtian thought of this phrase spontaneously.

From the performance of the two thus far, it was obvious that the strategy of the Asura Path monks was nothing more than to delay time, to avoid a swift defeat. Then they could use the excuse of depleted True Yuan to go back to their sect and fend off the elders.

This was indeed a matter of last resort. After all, the difference between a First Grade Golden Core and other Golden Cores was even greater than the gap between Di Du Fourth Middle School and a vocational high school.

If you can’t win, you can’t win, what else could be done but delay?

“Can your True Yuan sustain the maintenance of the Magical Treasure like this?” Qiu Changtian curiously asked.

...

Mantuo did not answer but concentrated on striking the wooden fish and fully activating his True Yuan to keep that sound barrier intact, his forehead already showing a trace of sweat.

Qiu Changtian also felt somewhat emotional: I don’t even need to lift a finger. In another quarter of an hour, he’ll have depleted his Dantian himself.

How can he be so reckless? I, Qiu the Great Kind One, can’t stand to see such self-sacrifice. Let me help you find release!

According to the scan result, this was purely an audio-related Magical Artifact. Its grade was extremely high, and all its features were focused on defense—simple and crude, hence its defense was absurdly strong, even the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword could not do anything to it.

This was the characteristic of magical competition in the Cultivating Immortality world: There existed all sorts of strange and curious restraining relationships. For example, the interactions of the Five Elements and the confrontation between a strong spear and a strong shield…

Qiu Changtian sighed and thought if he had the Yu Chen Thunder from the Ten Thunders, which could break any barrier, it would be wonderfully suited to deal with this kind of unreasonable defense Magical Treasure.

But since he had not found any trace of the Yu Chen Thunder, he might as well try the Tai Xiao Thunder of the same grade.

Ever since he learned the correct mental method for the Tai Xiao Thunder in the ruins of the Donghua Sect, Qiu Changtian no longer needed the aid of Lei Gong’s Awl and Thor’s Hammer. Plus, he was now a First Grade Golden Core at the Great Perfection stage of Root Seeking, so the abundance of his True Yuan was terrifyingly immense, nearly matching that of an elder who had just condensed a Nascent Soul.

With interlaced fingers, he formed a peculiar gesture, and soon, a large amount of tangible white Thunder Light began to seep out from between his fingers.

The intertwining lights in mid-air quickly wove into a massive dragon nearly a hundred zhang long, with countless electricity serpents spiraling and jumping around its body, and an aura of Thunder Light circling it, as if a Heavenly Tribulation descended, a deathly aura piercing the skies.

Below, Mantuo was stupefied, then saw the Thunder Dragon abruptly bow its head, its emotionless eyes firmly locking onto him.

Following that, the Thunder Light dragon plunged straight down!

Not even a hundred feet above the ground, a torrent of Thunder Light fell like a storm, striking the sound barrier around Mantuo. Each impact sapped a large amount of True Yuan from him… not because the Magical Treasure couldn’t resist Thunder Methods, but because the attack was too ferociously powerful for Mantuo’s True Yuan to sustain any longer!

Realizing imminent disaster, Mantuo could no longer stay cooped up in his “turtle shell” and had to bite hard on the tip of his tongue, activating his Essence Blood, and instantly burrowed into the ground.

Earth Escape Technique!

At the crucial moment, he was willing to consume his Essence Blood Source to use the Earth Escape Technique, digging down far faster than normal toward the depths below.

Simultaneously, the Tai Xiao Thunder Dragon finally struck the ground, raising smoke and dust over thirty zhang high instantly alongside a fierce explosion, dust, and thick smoke.

The cultivators from both sides were uproarious. No one expected that this bushy-browed monk would have practiced such a niche Escape Technique like Earth Escape.

Given that most cultivators nowadays used Flying Artifacts for transportation, unless one was particularly dedicated to fleeing, who would bother learning the Five Elements Escaping Technique? Even just practicing Sword Control Technique would be better!

Compared to the Kunlun camp’s cultivators, those from the Asura Path were even more anxious because the Thunder Dragon was far too formidable—under those circumstances, no one felt confident that they could evade the attack with Escape Techniques.

The dust and smoke cleared, revealing an enormous pit, but there were no traces of blood inside—either the target had escaped, or they had been pulverized into dust, leaving no remains.

Only Qiu Changtian, maintaining his scan, knew that Mantuo had activated a secret technique with his essence blood and bored hundreds of feet into the ground in an instant. Unless one used Earth Element spells, it was simply impossible to reach him.

It didn’t matter, as long as they could win.

After winning three consecutive battles, the morale on Kunlun’s side was at its peak. Everyone discussed the various methods used by Changgeng True Person, such as the straightforward Tianyuan Yiqi Sword and the immensely powerful Five Thunder True Law, among others.

Just as Qiu Changtian was waiting for the next move, he received a message from the Flying Sword Messaging of the Ziwei Master, stating that Kunlun had already won three matches in a row, and their momentum was fiery hot. They could now withdraw their forces.

Upon receiving the message, Qiu Changtian smiled faintly and then proclaimed loudly toward Iron City Mountain, “I have learned much from everyone’s brilliant moves today, and I’m not yet satisfied. Let’s meet again tomorrow!”

After speaking, he turned the Sword Light and headed back to Kunlun’s main formation, under the eager gaze of the Kunlun Cultivators.

Returning to the side of the Ziwei Sect Leader, Qiu Changtian saw that the looks he received from the various elders were filled with appreciation, satisfaction, and admiration.

No matter what family background or neutral faction they came from, at least their sense of identity with Kunlun was very strong. Qiu Changtian had defeated three Asura Path monks this time, and each victory was swift and decisive, truly earning a lot of face for Kunlun.

The Ziwei Sect Leader was no longer reserved at this point and laughed heartily, “I had initially suspected that laying siege to Iron City Mountain would risk heavy casualties. Now it seems that having one of my disciples take action is more than enough!”

The elders all unanimously agreed, and in this joyful occasion, there was no need to confront the Sect Leader. They all began to express their complimentary and pleasing remarks.

In contrast, atop Iron City Mountain, within the Asura Path, there was a gloom and despair.

Mantuo utilized the Earth Escape Technique to dive nearly a hundred feet deep into the ground and then moved to the belly of Iron City Mountain, finally breaking through to the surface.

Because Iron City Mountain and its vicinity had many iron mines, the consumption of the Earth Escape Technique was even more enormous and exaggerated than if it had been used under normal ground conditions. Mantuo had almost exhausted his last bit of True Yuan to barely emerge through the earth into the courtyard, immediately passing out and covered in charred marks from the effects of the Thunder Method, evidently severely injured.

As the Thunder Method had long since declined in this era, no one thought of electricity’s conduction through iron. They only knew that Changgeng True Person’s Thunder Method was ridiculously powerful; not even burrowing deep into the ground was enough to escape, resulting in being beaten to such a state.

What else could they do?

They really were no match!

The monks were nearly in a fervor, thinking that if they didn’t resist now, in a few days the higher-ups would be sending them to die in queues!

The crowd surged chaotically to the entrance of the Treasure Hall, about to protest loudly, when Mo Kong, the Great Reverend Master, stepped out from inside the hall and said coldly,

“What is this noise about outside!”

With the appearance of this great master of the Asura Path, the monks’ fervor immediately dissipated by ninety percent. The leading monk, trembling with fear, forced a smile and said,

“Great Reverend Master, we came to ask how Brother Mantuo is doing.”

“He’s fine, he’s not dead,” Mo Kong replied impatiently. “If you wish to avenge him, just stay here.”

Upon hearing this, the monks dared not linger any longer and scattered immediately.
