Chapter 175: Senior Brother, You Have a Big Face, Even the Thunder Tide Listens to You (4200 words)
I saw that terrifying sea of thunder, covering the entire sky.
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, it unexpectedly stopped spreading.
Then, like birds returning to the forest, it quickly disappeared into the terrifying void crack, vanishing without a trace.
It seemed as if it really listened to Wang Xiu's words.
Giving him face!
Directly retreating as if nothing happened!
This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.
...
"What the f*ck?"
"They really retreated, the Thunder Tide really retreated!"
"All the thunder dissipated, not a trace left!"
"How is this possible?"
"..."
All the geniuses wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Stupidly staring at the disciple of the Three Purities Divination Lineage, who was as usual, with a gentle smile on his face, they felt an inexplicable sense of horror in their eyes.
Do thunderstorms have consciousness?
Perhaps heavenly tribulations do, after all, they represent the will of the heavens!
But the thunder that came under the influence of Ji Zidian and Zhang Yuge just now, despite its powerful might, absolutely did not possess any trace of consciousness.
In other words, it was lifeless!
Everyone present was well aware of this fact.
How could it retreat just because it gave someone face?
Who would believe such a reason?
...
"Senior Brother Wang Xiu, you have a big face, even the Thunder Tide listens to you..." Ji Zidian looked up at Wang Xiu, who was close by, her heart suddenly beating faster, her mind going blank, and she lowered her head shyly.
At that moment, she thought she was done for.
If that terrifying thunderstorm had struck down, even with her Innate Thunder Sacred Body, she definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
She even went through her entire life in her mind according to the procedure.
But unexpectedly...
At the critical moment...
Senior Brother Wang Xiu stood up and stood in front of her.
Facing the wind and thunder for her.
At that moment, Ji Zidian felt like she was floating.
She wanted to cry.
She felt uncomfortable.
She complained that she shouldn't have competed with the Saint Child of the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate.
Not only did she cause a big mess, but she also implicated Senior Brother Wang Xiu.
But she was also happy!
Senior Brother, you're too good to me!
What she didn't expect was that such a terrifying Thunder Tide was really dispersed by Senior Brother Wang Xiu like this!
He was handsome, powerful, and gave a sense of security.
At this moment, all the auras on Wang Xiu's body were infinitely magnified in Ji Zidian's heart.
They filled her completely!
Her mind went blank as she stared at Wang Xiu's gaze.
She remembered the plots she secretly read in romance novels when she was young.
After the hero saves the beauty, there is a shy moment.
Usually, at this time...
The male lead should hug the female lead and kiss her!
If Senior Brother wants to kiss me...
Should I agree?
Or should I accept?
Yi--
So embarrassing!!!
Just at this moment...
Wang Xiu stared at Ji Zidian and slowly opened his mouth.
Ji Zidian's heartbeat accelerated.
It's coming.
It's coming.
Come!
She closed her eyes, raised her little face, full of anticipation.
The next moment.
A slap landed directly on her forehead, knocking her face back down just as she had lifted it up.
"Ouch, senior brother, you hurt me~"
Ji Zidian winced, pouting with tears in her eyes.
Wang Xiu replied angrily, "So what if I hurt you? Do you even know what pain is? Why are you being so stubborn? You had to compete with someone... He's the esteemed Dragon-Tiger Saint Child, the second-ranked expert on the Gold Core List. It's already embarrassing to have reached this point in the fight! Don't you know when to stop? Do you have to determine who's better? Are you not concerned about losing face? What good does it do for them to win? Are you at a disadvantage? Now look, you almost lost your life! Do you think you deserve a lesson?"
He couldn't hold back his frustration.
Today, it was him.
Only with the perfect level of control over the thunder element brought by the Taiyi Imperial Thunder True Scripture could he hold his ground.
Otherwise...
This foolish girl would have been blown to ashes long ago.
Not a single hair left!
Enduring Wang Xiu's rapid-fire attacks.
Ji Zidian kept her head down, silent, but sweet and enjoyable feelings gradually welled up in her heart.
Is senior brother actually concerned about me?
How fortunate!
...
Not far away.
Listening to the conversation between Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian.
Zhang Yuge felt extremely embarrassed!
In his mind, Wang Xiu's words echoed incessantly.
He was completely stunned.
"The esteemed Dragon-Tiger Saint Child... the second-ranked on the Gold Core List... it's already embarrassing to have reached this point in the fight..."
"Can't you just let them win?"
"Let... let them..."
The more he listened, the more embarrassed Zhang Yuge felt!
If possible...
He really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
It's so humiliating!
Embarrassed to the core!
To be honest.
Zhang Yuge was completely confused right now.
He felt that his worldview had been shattered.
From childhood to adulthood.
He had always been extremely confident in his talent for thunder techniques.
Even the Old Heavenly Teacher, in order to prevent him from becoming too arrogant, brought up the Three Purities Thunder Lineage from back then to make him sober.
But at the same time...
The Old Heavenly Teacher had to admit.
The Dragon-Tiger Thunder Technique and the Three Purities Thunder Lineage were actually equally strong in terms of thunder technique attainments.
The specific strength and weakness depended entirely on whether any particularly outstanding figures had emerged on either side during those years.
In other words...
The two techniques were on par with each other.
Both were top-notch in the world.
It's just that the thunder technique of the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate was more well-known.
And the Thunder Lineage was only a relatively powerful branch among the Three Purities' 360 veins.
So the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate didn't seem as transcendent.
And Zhang Yuge's talent, even in those years of fierce competition between the two sides, was considered outstanding and dazzling.
Not to mention that the current Three Purities Immortal Gate had already declined.
So Zhang Yuge, as the leader of the younger generation in the field of thunder techniques, was definitely qualified.
This was not Zhang Yuge's self-righteousness.
Everyone in the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate, from top to bottom, even the entire South State, and everyone in the Immortal Alliance thought so.
However...
No matter how much calculation was done, no one expected that the declining Three Purities Immortal Gate would actually give birth to an Innate Thunder Sacred Body?
This kind of physique, which was extremely rare even during the peak of the Three Purities, was considered to be born for controlling thunder and lightning.
Much stronger than Zhang Yuge's Innate Thunder Spirit Body.
This had already brought a strong impact to Zhang Yuge.
But...
It hadn't reached the point of being completely unacceptable.
After all, they had a Sacred Body.
Losing wouldn't be embarrassing.
At most, they would sigh and say that they were born at the wrong time, born as a fish instead of electricity.
But...
Damn it, you Wang Xiu, a disciple of the Three Purities Divination Lineage!
Why can he be so impressive?
Divination Lineage, huh!
Didn't they say that they're all a bunch of frauds up there?
All they do is study feng shui, fortune-telling, bad omens, White Tiger, and things like that.
Why can he still play with thunder?
...
He understands better than anyone in the field.
The terrifying thunderstorm caused by his battle with Ji Zidian!
Zhang Yuge estimated that he would have to reach the Nascent Soul stage and use the Saint Weapon [Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Seal] to suppress the thunderstorm.
And even then, it would only be a forced suppression.
What about Wang Xiu?
Casually, without any traces of spellcasting, without using any powerful Law Treasures, not even a trace of magical power emanating from his body.
He actually dispersed the thunderstorm?
The difference between these two is simply night and day.
This means that Wang Xiu's control over thunder has reached a terrifying level that is difficult to describe in words.
Zhang Yuge has no idea if reaching the perfection stage of Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate's [Innate Qi Thunder] cultivation can achieve this.
Even Ji Zidian, with his Sacred Body and strong talent, would find it difficult to reach this level.
Zhang Yuge secretly speculated that it would be precarious before the Astral Projection stage.
The deeper he thought, the more his heart collapsed.
He, the esteemed Dragon-Tiger Saint Child.
The title of the invincible young generation of thunder techniques has hung over him for so many years.
Unexpectedly, one day, he was defeated in his strongest area by a fortune-telling fraud...
No, he was completely crushed!
Who would believe it if he said it?
...
At the same time.
The people around, who were in a daze, gradually regained their senses.
So, it really is Wang Xiu... With his own strength, he dealt with the thunderstorm that even the Dragon-Tiger Saint Child and the Innate Thunder Sacred Body couldn't handle.
The thunderstorm that countless young talents present were helpless against.
He solved it with a joke?
When this conclusion appeared in everyone's minds.
They all felt their heads buzzing.
As if a mountain had been dropped into a calm lake!
They couldn't help but doubt their lives.
This is too outrageous, isn't it?
Such a terrifying thunderstorm, even the Dragon-Tiger Saint Child, who is known as the invincible thunder technique of his generation, was helpless.
Even the newly developed Innate Thunder Sacred Body of Three Purities Immortal Gate had no way to deal with it.
There were so many outstanding individuals on the Gold Core list present.
Even many Nascent Soul stage Venerables sent by the Immortal Alliance could only watch from afar.
And yet, it was solved by a disciple of Three Purities Immortal Gate's Divination Lineage?
Is this a mistake?
...
Silence filled the air.
Shu Mountain Saintess Li Xuanqi stood barefoot in mid-air, her green dress fluttering in the wind.
The silver ring in her hand disappeared.
Transforming into two golden wheels radiating intense immortal light, rotating around her body.
The immortal light illuminated her body.
Adding a touch of the charm of a Spirit Partitioning Saint to her already stunning beauty.
However, her expression was blank.
As if she hadn't reacted.
Emmm...
To be precise, she really hadn't reacted.
When she sensed that terrifying aura that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and earth, she immediately summoned the [Sun and Moon Golden Wheels].
Wanting to protect as many disciples of Shu Mountain Immortal Gate below as possible.
As for the others.
She was powerless.
However.
Before she could do anything.
That terrifying thunderstorm dissipated just like that.
Disappeared in a hurry, just as it came in a hurry!
It was so fast that it didn't give anyone a chance to react.
She raised her head slightly, looking at the white-clad young man in the field with curiosity in her eyes, "Three Purities Immortal Gate actually has such a person! He hides really well!"
Beside her.
Mountain and Sea Saint Child Zhuge Changsheng slowly appeared, with a bitter smile and a sigh in his eyes, "Not just hiding well? He even fooled me!"
During that time, he had been drinking tea in a nearby attic.
He had witnessed Wang Xiu's previous performance.
Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the original Chinese text. Some sentences may not follow standard English grammar or structure, but this is done to preserve the nuances and style of the original text.
Different from others.
He didn't think that Wang Xiu's various ways of getting close to people were cheap.
Because in his view, everything in the world is a chess game.
Every person, every chess piece has its own use.
Even if it looks insignificant.
Wang Xiu seems to have average cultivation, neither high nor low, but he has extremely strong social skills and charm that quickly endears people to him.
This ability itself is very unique.
Zhuge Changsheng speculated that the reason why the Three Purities Immortal Gate sent this disciple with average cultivation and poor combat skills from the Divination Lineage to participate in such an important Ancient Saint Academy was to use this chess piece to enhance their relationship with the rest of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
Although it may not bring any major benefits to the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
But it still has its uses.
However.
Reality slapped him in the face.
Zhuge Changsheng never expected that the disciple from the Divination Lineage who appeared to be a social butterfly would turn out to be a hidden powerhouse!
He effortlessly resolved the thunderstorm that even Zhang Yuge and the Innate Thunder Sacred Body couldn't handle?
Unbelievable!
Shouldn't the reversal be this strong?
He couldn't help but scream in his heart, while also feeling a sense of relief.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, Wang Xiu was exposed early!
If this person suddenly appeared in the Ancient Saint Academy, where the Three Purities Immortal Gate was not highly regarded, it would be enough to scare people to death!
Now he knows.
He can make some preparations in advance.
Thanks to Zhang Yuge!
Thanks to the Innate Thunder Sacred Body!
Thanks to the damn thunderstorm!
...
It's not just these people who are shocked.
Even Xiang Tiange, Li Zuoyue, Mo Wuwei, and others who came with Wang Xiu were equally astonished.
Xiang Tiange stared in disbelief, "My god, how is Junior Brother Wang Xiu so powerful?"
Li Zuoyue jumped up excitedly, "Awesome, Junior Brother Wang Xiu! This is incredible!"
Mo Wuwei stared at Wang Xiu's figure in a daze, biting her lip lightly and murmuring, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Wang Xiu not only excels in Dao manipulation, but also has such astonishing accomplishments in thunder techniques... If that's the case, can I ask for Junior Brother Wang Xiu's help later to enchant the crossbow machine I made? Maybe add some electric effects? It can paralyze people when shot."
"Wang Xiu Junior Brother, you wouldn't refuse, right?"
Jiang Linger's eyes turned into heart shapes as she held her face, looking infatuated, "Senior Brother is amazing, it feels so good when he teaches Senior Sister Ji a lesson! I envy Senior Sister Ji..."
Huang Yunchong burst into laughter and proudly showed off to the confused onlookers in the distance, "Hahaha, shocked, aren't you? Impressive, right? My brother! We've been through the kiln together, aren't you jealous? Aiyo!"
Before he finished speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag landed on his head.
Jiang Linger stood with her hands on her hips, angrily saying, "Don't spread rumors about my Senior Brother! My Senior Brother would never go to such a place!"
Mo Wuwei also stared at him with a cold face, "That's right! Junior Brother Wang Xiu is not that kind of person!"
Huang Yunchong looked very aggrieved.
He really wanted to argue back.
But looking at the fierce gazes of the two women.
He was very certain that if he said one more word, they would beat him up!
So.
He chose to keep quiet!
Then he silently turned his head and looked at the highly anticipated Wang Xiu, secretly shedding tears in his heart, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, do you know what I've endured for you? You must compensate me in the future... At least invite me to play in the Qunfang Garden for two and a half years!"
...
Boom!
Just then.
The void shattered.
Endless immortal light spread out from the cracks in the void, illuminating the heavens and the earth, giving life to all things.
A huge and ancient immortal ship slowly sailed out from it.
As if carrying an indescribable sense of heaviness.
On the ark.
An old man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Don't panic, I can easily resolve a mere thunderstorm with a snap of my fingers... Huh?"
Before he finished speaking, his gaze swept downwards, only to see peace in the heavens and the earth.
Apart from the devastated scene on the ground.
Where is there any sign of a thunderstorm?
A question mark appeared on his forehead.
Wasn't it said... that two juniors had a big fight, causing thunder to appear in the void, a thunderstorm that was difficult to control?
Where is the thunder?
