Chapter 1908 - 1909: Exceptional Talent
With such an opportunity, anyone would be willing to stay longer, but look at him, came down on his own after over twenty days; such a person, is he not formidable?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Perhaps he didn't comprehend anything up there, afraid of being mocked and came down early, that's also possible."
The elder laughed, "You have an unwilling-to-lose character; truly speaking, your talent naturally doesn't lose to others, but merely having talent isn't enough. You also need opportunity."
"I even think that opportunity is more important than talent. Look at your high talent, yet you couldn't reach the top of Wuliang Book Tower with your ability, but he could, illustrating he surpassed you in terms of opportunity."
Murong Liuqing, after listening, raised her eyebrows in anger, stood up, and said, "You say he can surpass me? I don't believe it."
After saying this, Murong Liuqing turned and ran out.
Murong Liuqing ran out, and the elder chuckled.
At this time, the door next to them opened, and a slightly younger person walked out.
"Senior brother, you were talking about that kid just now, right?"
The elder nodded and said, "What do you think?"
The person said, "This kid, at such a young age, has reached the threshold realm. Truly a rare genius, but it's too early to talk about it now."
The elder said, "This trip to Foreign Land Space will make everything clear. We don't need to worry too much."
The person thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how much this kid learned from the Wuliang Heart Sutra."
The elder said, "For thousands of years, no one has cracked the Wuliang Heart Sutra, but it's normal to have some understanding after reading the handnotes of the predecessors."
The person laughed and said, "Senior brother, I know you are also afraid of outsiders cracking the Wuliang Heart Sutra. You just provoked Liuqing with your words; with her determined nature, she'll probably want to act soon."
After hearing this, the elder laughed heartily and said, "Nothing escapes your eyes."
At this time, Ling Zhenfei had already walked down to the plaza below, feeling truly elated gazing into the distance.
The architecture and scenery of Wuliang Mountain are truly exceptional; the weather changes unpredictably—just now was clear sky, in an instant obscured by clouds and mist, Wuliang Mountain Summit appearing faintly in the haze.
Ling Zhenfei thought about the crooked pavilion at his place and just wanted to rest there for a while, but suddenly a trace of spiritual energy emerged from the air, charging toward Ling Zhenfei.
The speed of this spiritual energy was extremely fast, and the target was Ling Zhenfei.
Within the mist, the vision was already somewhat blurry, even human perception would decline.
However, Ling Zhenfei could still sense the danger of that spiritual energy, knowing it was coming toward him. Not knowing what was coming, he hurriedly turned to dodge, only to see a green object fly past him.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked in his heart, for this speed was too fast.
At that moment, the object that had flown past him came flying back, suddenly at very high speed.
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, not expecting someone to attack him atop Wuliang Mountain. Hastily he condensed a stream of spiritual energy to counter that spiritual energy.
Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy altered the direction of the attacking spiritual energy slightly, and he saw the object within it turn in mid-air and land in someone's hand.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked because he saw that person was Murong Liuqing.
The object that attacked him just now turned out to be Murong Liuqing's bamboo flute.
In contact with the spiritual energy earlier, the object felt as hard as iron, unexpectedly it was a bamboo flute.
"Murong Liuqing, what are you trying to do?"
Murong Liuqing held the bamboo flute, her expression cold as ice, and said, "My master said I'm inferior to you, so I naturally want to learn and see your skill."
Ling Zhenfei said, "As cultivators, why should we care about such vanity? Even if someone is stronger than you, what does it matter? Is there anyone in the world who isn't stronger than you?"
Murong Liuqing said, "There are naturally people stronger than me in the world, but not you. Master singled you out; since I encountered you, I naturally want to learn from you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're the direct disciple of Wuliang Palace's Master of Three Great Immortal Palaces, while I'm an unknown nobody without a master. Even if you're stronger than me, it's only natural."
Murong Liuqing said, "You said it right, I should be stronger than you, but now Master says you surpass me, so I must meet you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I won't fight with you; there's no point in us fighting."
Murong Liuqing said, "It's not up to you to decide whether to fight or not."
After saying this, Murong Liuqing rushed towards Ling Zhenfei, moving swiftly due to spiritual energy.
Ling Zhenfei truly didn't want to fight with Murong Liuqing, primarily because there was no benefit at all.
Speaking of strength, Murong Liuqing's prowess is undoubtedly formidable; fighting her yields no advantage.
Not to mention wasting spiritual energy; if injured in conflict with Murong Liuqing, it would be a true loss.
But at this moment, Murong Liuqing was already rushing towards him, filled with spiritual energy, making it almost impossible to say no to fighting.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword appeared in his hand.
Ling Zhenfei's plan was merely to force Murong Liuqing back; after all, they had no personal vendetta, so there was no need to fight to the death.
Murong Liuqing is a disciple of Wuliang Mountain, which is among the largest and most renowned of Huaxia's Three Major Sects, and Murong Liuqing is also the direct disciple of the current Palace Master of Wuliang Palace.
Murong Liuqing is at most around twenty years old now but has already reached the high peak of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom; her talent isn't something the average person could achieve.
Ling Zhenfei didn't dare underestimate her, spiritual energy prepared on his Tang sword, ready to make a move.
At this moment, Murong Liuqing suddenly emitted a surge of spiritual energy, her bamboo flute acting as if suddenly splitting into three, generating highly potent spiritual energy, attacking Ling Zhenfei.
In the sky were the shadows of bamboo flutes, coming at Ling Zhenfei from all directions.
Ling Zhenfei knew that although there were numerous bamboo shadows, not all of them were real.
Now, what came were merely spiritual energies. These spiritual energies rushed from all directions, arriving near Ling Zhenfei, and he suddenly acted.
"Iaido!"
Ling Zhenfei's Iaido, the spiritual energy is nurtured from within the sheath, now the Tang sword emerged like it held world-opening power.
A highly potent spiritual energy sprayed out from Ling Zhenfei's sheath, saber qi rampant, instantly slashing those countless bamboo shadows to the ground.
Boom!
Spiritual energy scattered in all directions, but the countless bamboo shadows in the sky vanished.
Murong Liuqing was momentarily stunned on her face, saying, "Is this what you learned from the Wuliang Heart Sutra?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You overthought; I've known this move for long. If you want me to use techniques from the Wuliang Heart Sutra, you need to put in more effort."
