I Have A Special Cultivation Talent

Chapter 240: The Battle of Genius Talents Began

Along with Jiang Liuyun, there were also the Spirit Plane Elders from the Iron Sword Lineage.

The Iron Sword Pavilion, which presided over all of Luo Tian Immortal Sect, hosted the battle of genius talent, even though they did not have genius talents of their own.

The elders were led by an old man with white hair and a white beard.

As for the remaining two, one was a middle-aged man in a green robe, and the other was a young man in a black robe.

“Everyone, all the lineages have gathered here today in appreciation of our genius talents!”

“It is a blessing for the sect to host the battle of genius talents.”

“There is no fighting to the death in this battle and fatal strikes are strictly forbidden. In addition, no spiritual treasures or true artifacts may be used.”

“You may not use spiritual elixirs, true elixirs, or any talisman and formations above Grade 4.”

“It’s important for you to remember that all of you are genius talents of this sect, so you must not slaughter each other.”

A faint voice, like a whisper in their ears, spoke with a gentle yet clear tone.

...

Everyone stopped chatting and redirected their attention as soon as the white-haired elder began to speak.

“These are the three elders of Iron Sword Pavilion. The one who is speaking is Wu Qi.

“The middle-aged elder on the left is Chang Feng.

“The young elder on the right is Luo Ge.”

Jiang Liuyun stood beside Chen Jingzhai and introduced each of the elders via voice transmission.

The three elders from Iron Sword Pavilion were powerful and came with great authority. Their strengths, too, were not to be underestimated.

These were the managing elders of Luo Tian Immortal Faction, and all matters of the sect were decided by them.

At this time, many people had gathered on the plaza that was on the mountainside of the Fifth Battle Peak.

In addition to the elders of various lineages who accompanied their disciples, there were also Lord Deacons who came to watch.

Gradually, there were more than a hundred people already.

Even so, it didn’t seem much on this vast plaza.

With Jiang Liuyun enthusiastically explaining everything by his side, Chen Jingzhai quickly remembered everyone on the field.

There were deacons from the outer sects and elders from the inner sects, as well as various factions, lineages, and familial principalities.

Elder Wu Qi from the Iron Sword Pavilion announced the rules of the battle, and then, with a wave of his hand, a magic power was unleashed.

On the plaza, a golden pillar appeared out of nowhere.

After it made several spins in the air, it finally turned into eight pillars and landed in the center of the plaza.

A layer of light film appeared in the form of the eight trigrams, covering the eight pillars.

“Illuminating Pandragon Formation,” Chen Jingzhai raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Good eye, junior brother.” Senior Brother Chen Lei laughed. “This is a set of true artifacts, made from Grade 5 materials. They are known as the Eight Heavenly Pillars, which was borrowed from Formation Hall.”

Chen Jingzhai nodded in acknowledgment. No wonder these eight pillars had a strong aura, which even he felt extremely oppressed under. It turned out that these were formations made with true artifacts.

A Grade 5 illuminating Pandragon formation was nothing compared to that.

Although this formation was Grade 5, it was mainly a defensive and trapping formation. Its purpose was to set the leyline to trap the true dragon. Ordinary true artifacts that were not meant for attacking would not be able to break it.

Moreover, the formation had its own space. It was very safe to compete within the formation, as one could exert one’s strength to the fullest.

“Genius talents, you may choose your opponent, and enter the formation to battle.”

“Either one side admits defeat or the elders will decide.”

“If you disagree with the decision, you may continue to challenge.”

“Which two genius talents are willing to battle first?”

And as soon as Elder Wu Qi finished speaking, his eyes locked onto Chen Jingzhai.

His warm and gentle regard somehow gave Chen Jingzhai goosebumps all over.

Even so, Chen Jingzhai did not take the initiative to step forward.

On the contrary, it was senior brother, Chen Lei, who stepped forward with a laugh, as lightning flashed under his feet.

He came to the vicinity of the formation and looked at the side lineages with burning eyes.

“Junior brother Hu, do you dare to fight with me?”

“Why not?” Hu Shouyang gave a faint smile as he stepped out in an instant.

He and Senior Brother Chen Lei entered the Illuminating Pandragon Formation almost at the same time. Miraculously, the Eight Heavenly Pillars disappeared without a sound, and only a layer of the oval-shaped light screen remained. It seemed as if the two had entered into a crystal ball, which looked extremely amazing. What was taking place inside could be seen very clearly.

“His thunder technique is domineering, and his Innate Lightning Body is even more tyrannical.”

“Of the three genius talents from the side lineages, Ye Changyi’s metal attribute spirit root is naturally restrained.”

“The Body of Ice Core can’t stop thunder technique either; only the Body of All Methods has the power to fight.”

“Senior Brother Chen is saving their face,” Jiang Liuyun explained to Chen Jingzhai through voice transmission, as he chuckled lightly.

“Is Senior Brother Chen very powerful?” Chen Jingzhai asked through voice transmission.

“Before the Little Master-Uncle’s arrival, he was the number one genius talent,” Jiang Liuyun said seriously. “Among the techniques, the thunder technique is widely recognized as the number one. Not to mention Senior Brother Chen also possesses the Eye of Thunder.”

“Really looking forward to it.” Chen Jingzhai nodded.

Inside the Illuminating Pandragon Formation, the two struck almost the same time. Senior Brother Chen Lei waved his hand and unleashed a flash of lightning. The lightning flashed, followed by sounds of thunder. In an instant, thunder and lightning came booming down upon them.

What surprised everyone was that Hu Shouyang also retaliated with the thunder technique. Thunder balls gathered in his palms with incredible speed, and without any pause, three of them guarded in front of him in a V-shape. Meanwhile, two other thunder balls collided in front of him and exploded with a bolt of strong lightning that illuminated the entire formation space.

“Using thunder against thunder?” Chen Jingzhai frowned slightly.

Admittedly, Hu Shouyang was indeed a genius and was extremely accomplished in the thunder technique.

Chen Jingzhai knew that he could not compare in this aspect. His specialty was really the five elements spell.

However, he didn’t think that Hu Shouyang’s thunder technique was necessarily stronger, even if it was enhanced by the Dharma Intent.

Except he had no idea what other means Hu Shouyang might unleash later.

Inside the space of the formation, thunder roared as lightning intertwined. Absolutely nothing else could be seen.

This was a typical duel between cultivators. They fought with spells and never melee in close-quarter combats.

Crack!

An even stronger thunderous roar was heard, as a lightning dragon appeared above Senior Brother Chen Lei. Its eyes were full of menace, as its sharp claws reached out to grab at Hu Shouyang.

Hu Shouyang’s expression remained indifferent, and the number of thunder balls around him now reached five. The moment the lightning dragon struck, the thunder balls collided with each other, and a Thunder Giant was birthed from him.

Spell transformation!

This battle had entered an extremely sophisticated state.

Ordinary cultivators could use a spell to mimic, which was a clever method. If they injected the power of will while simulating the form, they could achieve spell transformation and make the true form appear.

There was no doubt that Hu Shouyang, like Senior Brother Chen Lei, had mastered the power of will and had perfectly integrated his own spell and will to achieve something that they were witnessing at the moment.

The claws of the lightning dragon reached forward, as the giant’s fists unleashed a punch.

Inside the formation, the two battled nonstop. Every time, it resulted in flashing lightning and thunderous roars. Not only was their speed fast, but their might was also even greater. Even the cultivators outside the formation could not help but nodded their heads in admiration.

These two were Foundational cultivators. The power of the spells that erupted was enough to slay even Golden Core Sages. This kind of fighting power, one that could go against an entire plane, was truly shocking to behold.

Within 10 minutes, Hu Shouyang was the first to show signs of fatigue.

With a move of his finger, a spear suddenly flew out from his body. It was instantly caught by the Thunder Giant. Under the instillation of thunder and lightning, the spear enlarged and became a weapon in the hands of the giant.

It was a rare thunder magic treasure, of the attacking variety, no less!

Chen Jingzhai’s heart sank a little. Even though he had rated this group of genius talents as high as possible, watching what just took place discouraged Chen Jingzhai. Thunder magic treasures were extremely difficult to obtain.

As mentioned in Venerable Ning’s inheritance, in the Heaven Star Territory and other territories, thunder attribute magic treasures were very hard to come by. Perhaps it was because he started as a rogue cultivator that he was quite unaware of the history of the sect!

Thus, Chen Jingzhai felt less and less confident about his chance to win.

While he was deep in thought, in the space inside the formation, Hu Shouyang’s Thunder Giant had already pierced forward with the spear, as lightning burst from the tip of the spear. Its power was unstoppable, as it intend to slash open the firmament.

There was no sign of fear on Senior Brother Chen Lei’s face. He let out a string of laughter, as the Lightning Dragon roared. Lightning was brewing in the dragon’s mouth, and the moment the spear was unleashed, the lightning burst forward, and a dazzling whiteness rushed out instantly.

“Red Shine White Lightning!”

Chen Jingzhai pressed his lips together slightly. Senior Brother Chen seemed to be more than meets the eye.

This was a different kind of thunder technique. Just like the spirit fire between heaven and earth, there were also lightning seeds between heaven and earth in the Heaven Essence Realm.

Red Shine White Lightning was bred from a lightning seed between heaven and earth.

“This is the terror of the Innate Lightning Body, that it can breed the lightning seeds between heaven and earth.”

“Let’s keep watching!”

“This is not the only thing Senior Brother Chen is capable of.”

“Although he didn’t have the record of slaying a lord like the Little Master-Uncle, he had killed three Golden Core Sages, with two of them in the advanced stage of the Golden Core Plane. He enjoys quite a reputation in the clan.” Jiang Liuyun’s voice entered Chen Jingzhai’s ears.
