Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 360: Power of the Unbeatable Golden Core

Casting aside the side effect of causing baldness, the Arhat Fist was the supreme fist technique of Buddhist sects. Previously, Lu Yang had refrained from using it for fear of accidentally harming Lan Ting. However, now that his clone was in charge of handling Lan Ting while he dealt with Bai Ming, he could finally unleash the Arhat Fist without restraint.

“Let’s see how you’re going to divide your attention!” Bai Ming was certain that Lu Yang couldn’t control two bodies simultaneously. His sharp spear immediately thrust forward like a shooting star across the night sky.

Lu Yang calmly tracked the spear’s tip, a hollow resonance emanating from within him, as if Buddha was chanting sutras to deliver all living beings from suffering. His fists shot forth with thunderous momentum, meeting the spear in a violent collision that sent ink-wash ripples pulsing through the air.

“Arhat Fist!”

Clang!

The spear shook with metallic echoes while Lu Yang’s fists danced lightly on its tip, pressing relentlessly toward Bai Ming.

Exerting his core strength, Bai Ming synchronized his waist and stance to withdraw his spear, but Lu Yang’s continuous Arhat Fist strikes kept the spear vibrating uncontrollably and challenging to grip.

This is bad, Bai Ming cursed inwardly. He had been guarding against Lu Yang’s mighty abilities and spells, not anticipating that Lu Yang possessed such terrifying prowess even when fighting with his bare hands.

Watching the fists close in, Bai Ming formed hand seals with his left hand. A howling wind blade descended from the sky like an executioner’s blade, threatening to bisect Lu Yang.

Though Bai Ming used this opportunity to evade, the Arhat Fist still grazed him.

“What heavy fists!” Bai Ming’s heart raced. Luckily, I dodged. The momentum in this punch carries so much force that just brushing past it had caused an injury like this. Had it landed directly, the consequences would have been devastating.

I absolutely can’t get hit again.

Suddenly, a few strands of black hair drifted down, making Bai Ming freeze. Before he could process what was happening, more and more hair strands began to cascade down.

Wait, this couldn’t be...

Bai Ming instinctively touched his scalp, and his face paled. “Where’s my hair?!”

Staring at the hair scattered over the ground, Bai Ming glared furiously at Lu Yang. “Fists and spells as one! I never imagined you could integrate fist and spell techniques so impeccably that even I fell for it!” Bai Ming forced himself to analyze the situation calmly and not lose himself to panic.

An endless stream of cultivators was still hurrying toward the arena to watch the battle.

“Eh, who’s that bald guy? I thought the Hanging Monastery didn’t send anyone?”

“I heard something about an arhat from afar. Is this bald guy claiming to be one?” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“He’s probably a fake. He doesn’t even have jieba ordination scars on his head.”[1]

The crowd’s chatter shattered Bai Ming’s composure. He couldn’t stop his anger from boiling over. “Lu Yang, you’ve forced my hand! Five-Elements Cycle Spear Technique!”

“Five-Elements Cycle Spear Technique? He’s even mastered such a spear technique?” Old Teacher Kang exclaimed softly.

“What’s the Five-Elements Cycle Spear Technique?” the spectators around him asked.

“This was created by an old ancestor from the Five-Elements Sect who was well-versed in the five-elements spells. It combines both five-elements spells and spear techniques. Only those who excel at both can learn it. I didn’t expect this Five-Elements Sect disciple to have already met the requirements to master this spear technique.

“He appears to have a Five-Elements Golden Core, but that shouldn’t demonstrate such offensive power!”

“Radiant Gold!” The spear was like a dragon as it lashed toward Lu Yang at an unbelievable speed with majestic momentum.

Lu Yang strode forward, the Buddhist chants reverberating with an aura ready to swallow mountains and rivers. The Arhat Fist clashed with the spear head-on, sending intense shockwaves in all directions. With anvil-like fists, his aura surged, and overwhelming momentum overflowed from between his palms.

The spectators were dumbstruck. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators present blanched; they weren’t confident they could withstand such rapid-fire assaults.

“Is this really the Basic Golden Core Stage?”

“I’ve long heard that immortal sect disciples cannot be judged with common sense. Now that I’ve witnessed it today, it truly is so!”

“I’m afraid even those ancient prodigies couldn’t surpass this.”

“Even in the Great Era of countless prodigies, it’s doubtful anyone could rival them.”

It was Bai Ming’s first encounter with a peer who could counter his Five-Elements Cycle Spear Technique. With a cold smirk, he flicked his spear downward, summoning an earth dragon that broke through the ground like a tsunami, crashing toward Lu Yang.

Lu Yang used Shrinking Earth to ambush Bai Ming from below, but Bai Ming’s extended spiritual consciousness tracked Lu Yang’s every movement clearly. He stabbed his spear downward. “Here!”

To Bai Ming’s astonishment, Lu Yang’s body abruptly shrank, evading his spear.

“Size At Will?!”

Despite expecting diverse abilities from Lu Yang, Size At Will still surprised him. Spells typically followed their respective systems, and mastering a type of spell granted one insights into learning related spells.

In contrast, Lu Yang’s spells—Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth, Shrinking Earth, Size At Will—shared no connection, not to mention the hair-loss technique Bai Ming had never heard of.

“So what?!” Bai Ming thrust his spear eighteen times in a row, all of which Lu Yang evaded. Just as he was about to strike the nineteenth time, his body suddenly sank, and he was plunged into pitch-black darkness.

While Bai Ming was attacking Lu Yang, he had failed to notice the shrunken Lu Yang circling him—just enough to unleash Draw Underground Prison.

“Another unknown earth-type spell!” Bai Ming refused to be outdone in elemental spells. As he burrowed out of the ground, Lu Yang’s fist met him squarely.

“Draw Underground Prison!” Lu Yang locked him in the underground prison again.

Bai Ming struggled to remain clear-headed. Since I can’t go out directly, I’ll escape from somewhere else. Trapped deep underground in this dungeon, no elemental spells except earth-type spells are viable.

He was about to burrow somewhere else and had just shifted half his body out when Lu Yang’s voice rang out from above. “Draw Underground Prison.”

Back in place.

“Earth Dragon...” Bai Ming formed hand seals, preparing to summon the earth dragon.

“Draw Underground Prison.”

Bai Ming jolted and disappeared from his original position before reappearing, his hand seals interrupted.

“This is not an earth-type spell but a spatial spell!” Bai Ming finally realized the problem. “I don’t believe this! Earth Dragon...”

“Draw Underground Prison.”

Crouched and drawing circles, Lu Yang monitored Bai Ming with his spiritual consciousness. Any movement from Bai Ming, and Lu Yang would interrupt it with Draw Underground Prison.

After several failed attempts, Bai Ming’s temper was deflated. “Fine, I admit defeat!” I have no other choice.

When he emerged from the ground, he was infuriated by Lu Yang’s grin. “If not for you casting spells faster than me...” Bai Ming spoke through clenched teeth. I was held back by my spellcasting speed. My earth-type spells prioritize large-scale attacks and are on the slower side. If I had cast my spells before Lu Yang could cast “Draw Underground Prison,” I would have been able to escape and continue battling with him, and the outcome might have been different.

Lu Yang smiled but did not comment. He recalled the proposal the Unbeatable Golden Core had provided earlier.

Bai Ming’s spear technique serves as the exterior, while his five-elements spells form the core. The foundation of his attacks will certainly be five-elements spells. As the five elements interact, they promote and counter each other, combining with amplified power. It is not advisable to give him any openings.

It is recommended to aggravate the opponent with the Arhat Fist and cause him to lose his rationality. Seize this opportunity to cast “Draw Underground Prison” to confine him underground, limiting his options to earth-type spells. You can take advantage of your fast spellcasting speed to interrupt his spells, forcing him to surrender.

This is the most time- and energy-efficient solution.

1. These jieba ordination scars are spots, and the number of spots represents their status and rank. The more spots they have, the more senior the monks are. There are usually 6-9 spots, but it can go up to 12. ☜
