Chapter 80

Jin Fengming knew that Senior Sister Jian had only used two high-grade magical artifacts and had not exerted her full strength. If she were to use those two top-grade magical artifacts, the outcome of the competition would be decided immediately. |www..com|

This competition would consist of several rounds. Senior Sister Jian did not use her top-grade magical artifacts, indicating that she intended to save them for a stronger opponent, to achieve a surprising effect.

After a long wait, just as the sun was about to set, it was finally Jin Fengming's turn to compete.

He used the aerial technique to slowly fly into the competition area, bowed to the presiding uncle, and handed over the jade token.

A moment later, a large man in a dark purple robe also flew in, bowed to the presiding uncle, and turned to look at Jin Fengming. His divine sense scanned over, and upon seeing that the person before him was only at the Eighth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage, he could not help but show a look of disdain.

Seeing the other party's expression, Jin Fengming did not show any surprise but smiled and looked at the other party with a smile. Upon realizing that the other party was also only at the Ninth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage, he could not help but secretly laugh in his heart.

When Jin Fengming appeared in the competition area, the disciples in the square immediately began to discuss, and many familiar disciples started to talk to each other.

"Look, that's Junior Brother Jin from the Alchemy Hall. He could forge high-grade magical artifacts even when he was at the Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage."

"He should have several high-grade magical artifacts on him. Don't look at his cultivation being only at the Eighth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage; Junior Brother Qin might still win this competition."

"I recognize the person in the purple robe. He is a descendant of the Jiang family, a cultivation family, named Jiang Feng. It is said that he is highly favored by the head of the Jiang family and definitely has high-grade magical artifacts on him. He might even have top-grade magical artifacts."

"Even if Junior Brother Qin has high-grade magical artifacts, his own magical power is far inferior to Senior Brother Jiang. I still favor Senior Brother Jiang in this competition."

"Junior Brother Qin is skilled in alchemy, but that doesn't mean he is skilled in combat. Even with high-grade magical artifacts, lack of combat experience is a problem."

……………

Outside, the disciples were discussing, supporting different sides, making the scene very lively.

Upon hearing that the person opposite was a descendant of the Jiang family, a cultivation family, Jin Fengming was taken aback.

The Jiang family, among the many cultivation families affiliated with Luoxia Sect, was not the most powerful. However, the Jiang family had a deep understanding of array formation techniques, and several array formation masters had emerged from their family, making them well-known in the Great Liang Kingdom.

Jin Fengming had always been very interested in array formation techniques, but his current cultivation was too low. He had planned to delve into array formation techniques after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage. Unexpectedly, he encountered a descendant of the Jiang family in the first competition. Thinking of this, he could not help but look at the other party a few more times.

The large man in the purple robe, upon hearing the disciples' discussion, could not help but look serious and curiously at Jin Fengming. He had also heard of Jin Fengming's name and became more cautious.

Jin Fengming smiled slightly at the large man in the purple robe and bowed, saying, "I am Junior Brother Jin Fengming. I hope Senior Brother will show mercy during the competition."

The large man was taken aback and also clasped his hands, saying, "Sure, the same to you."

The presiding uncle, seeing that both were ready, waved his hand, and the competition began.

As soon as the words were spoken, Jin Fengming used an ice shield talisman, and a crystal-clear protective shield instantly appeared around his body, enveloping him completely.

Jin Fengming stood inside the shield, just smiling and watching the other party, without making any further moves.

The large man in the purple robe used a wind shield talisman, then raised his hand, and a black magical artifact was summoned into the air. It transformed into a large scythe-shaped magical artifact, trailing a black glow, and flew swiftly towards Jin Fengming.

Seeing the other party use a magical artifact, Jin Fengming waved his hand and summoned the steel shield. It instantly expanded to about half a zhang in diameter, blocking outside the ice shield.

The other party's magical artifact immediately struck the round shield fiercely. In an instant, it struck the shield over ten times, but its attacks left no marks on the shield. The defensive power of the small shield, transformed into a round shield, did not disappoint Jin Fengming.

Seeing Jin Fengming's calm and confident demeanor, the large man in the purple robe felt uneasy and hesitated for a moment. A gourd-shaped magical artifact appeared above his head.

As soon as this magical artifact appeared, some of the spectators exclaimed in surprise.

"That's the Fire Cloud Gourd. I didn't expect the head of the Jiang family to bring out this magical artifact. It seems the Jiang family is determined to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time."

"The Fire Cloud Gourd is a top-grade magical artifact. Even if Junior Brother Qin has a top-grade magical artifact, he cannot possibly defeat Jiang Feng. His defeat is inevitable."

"I heard that the Fire Cloud Gourd is not an ordinary top-grade magical artifact. Even an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could be defeated by the Fire Cloud Gourd if they are not careful."

Upon hearing "Fire Cloud Gourd," Jin Fengming knew that things were not looking good. He had heard of this top-grade magical artifact before.

Despite seeing the Fire Cloud Gourd in the air, he did not panic. He raised his hands, and instantly, over forty to fifty ice projectile talismans appeared in his hands. He waved them towards the large man in the purple robe, and they transformed into dozens of bright ice projectiles, raining down on the large man in the purple robe.

The large man in the purple robe, hearing the discussion, was feeling quite pleased with himself when he suddenly saw dozens of ice projectiles in front of him, and he was immediately frightened.

If it were just three or five ice projectiles, he could have ignored them and relied on the protective shield in front of him. But seeing so many ice projectiles rushing towards him, he had nowhere to hide and was instantly terrified. This was equivalent to over ten Qi Gathering cultivators firing ice projectile spells at him, and the power was evident.

He did not have time to activate the Fire Cloud Gourd to attack. Instead, he frantically poured spiritual energy into the protective shield in front of him and also used an earth shield talisman, hoping to counter Jin Fengming's attack.

However, he underestimated the power of so many ice projectiles. Jin Fengming's attack seemed chaotic but was actually well-ordered, and the attack range was very small.

The two layers of protective shields only blocked over thirty ice projectile attacks before they shattered with a "crack." The remaining ice projectiles flew directly towards the large man in the purple robe.

Just as they were about to hit the large man in the purple robe, Jin Fengming's divine sense moved, and the remaining ice projectiles grazed past the large man's body, flying past without causing any harm.

The presiding uncle, seeing the Jiang family member in danger, was about to intervene to save him, but upon seeing Jin Fengming wave his hand, he knew that Jin Fengming was showing mercy and stopped his movement.

The large man in the purple robe stood there, his face full of panic, his eyes wide with fear. Jin Fengming stood at a distance, smiling at him without any further action.

The presiding uncle, seeing their expressions, loudly announced, "Jin Fengming wins this round."
