Gravity, the most common yet most mysterious force in the universe. This force pervades every corner of the universe, being one of its foundational elements. Yet the medium through which this force is transmitted remains "unknown," and even Earth, which edges out Shenzhou slightly in theoretical physics, has only managed to theorize the existence of an inconsistent "graviton."
Thus, even with the abilities of Shenzhou's Immortal Dao, it was impossible to isolate "gravity." The restrictions meant to block the residual effects of combat seemed completely ineffective against Ai Changyuan's attacks. The entire plaza became a zone with abnormal gravitational forces, and nearly all new disciples felt the ground beneath their feet slightly tilting towards the ninth battlefield.
Faced with this scene, the Foundation Establishment Disciples acting as judges had no choice but to halt several combat trials.
"Those two guys, are they really in the Qi Cultivation Stage?" Wu Fan had to lean back to use the gravitational force of the Shenzhou Land to counter the residual waves from Ai Changyuan's attack, "It's hard to believe they are like us."
Wu Fan's question was also the doubt of most people present.
Those two guys, are they still Qi Cultivation Cultivators?
Their weight values have probably reached double digits, they can fight against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, couldn't they?
To fight against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with the mana of the Qi Cultivation Early Stage!
Wu Shiqin took out a piece of draft paper from her pocket—carrying draft paper was a good habit every Modern Cultivator had to develop. She tore the paper in her hand into scraps and casually tossed them out. The scraps fell much slower than imagined, and in the absence of wind, they even drifted towards the field where Wang Qi was battling.
"The Kun Yin's Number is lower than the original... 'Kun Yin's Number being close to ten' makes sense normally, but now, having eight would be good enough..."
Watching Wu Shiqin muttering to herself, Mao Zimiao asked, "Shiqin, are you imitating Senior Mi Feimi, calculating the Kun Yin's Number? Can you figure out the specific value?"
Senior Mi Feimi, the Nuclear Chain Magic King, had once assisted the Heavenly Sword Saint Ao Haimo in forging the Heavenly Sword. During one of the Heavenly Sword trials, he was miles away from the swordsman, tossed a piece of torn draft paper, and observed the trajectory of the floating scraps to deduce the operations of the Heavenly Sword. This incident was once cited as legendary.
Wu Shiqin shook her head, "It's just a simple judgment of the Kun Yin's Number. The gravity fluctuations caused by Ai Changyuan aren't a constant value."
At that moment, a burst of exclamations erupted from the plaza, "Look over there! It's happening!" "What a monster!"
Ai Changyuan rushed towards Wang Qi, drawing circles with his hands in the empty air, once again condensing a dark sphere emanating a terrifying aura.
Faced with this formidable attack, Wang Qi's first reaction was surprisingly to close his eyes and take a deep breath. He ignored the discomfort of blood remaining in his nostrils pouring into his trachea, focusing only on breathing, adjusting his heartbeat. The gravitational pull of Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction tugged at him, dragging him towards that terrifying sphere.
What's going on? Is Wang Qi intending to surrender?
The observers were filled with confusion.
Just as the Sky Collapsing Palm was about to hit, Wang Qi swung his sword again. The curved blade light almost guided itself along the gravitational field, cleaving directly at the dark light group.
The moment the sword touched the sphere, Wang Qi felt a strange constricting force on his hand. Had it been an ordinary magic artifact, it would have collapsed from Ai Changyuan's manipulation. Instead, the Material Wave wrapped around the long sword took the brunt of this ordeal, and the Phase Wave was viciously torn off by an invisible hand. However, the Gravity Ball quickly fell into disarray due to the power of the Heavenly Entropy Technique on the long sword.
As the Gravity Ball collapsed, Ai Changyuan immediately severed his connection with that part of his mana to prevent it from affecting himself. Wang Qi took the opportunity to step forward, and then, slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The consecutive strikes put pressure on Ai Changyuan. He yelled out loudly, exerting his full power to dispel Wang Qi's seven slashes with seven punches. The deflecting blade danced across the Shenzhou skies, leaving meandering Sword Aura trails behind.
Bai Ze True Formation Slash?
Unfortunately, this was neither the Invisible Elephant Fist Sword that complemented the Elephant Phase Wave Skill, nor the Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm that matched the Heavenly Entropy Technique! The Wanfa Sect Martial Arts were Absolute Skills that only revealed miraculous effects when practiced to a profound level. They were not limited by combat power at the entry stages.
Ai Changyuan's palms suddenly accelerated, leaving behind countless afterimages that dazzled the onlooker. Faced with this torrential assault, Wang Qi neither retreated nor avoided, stepping in close. His feet traced a circle on the ground as the long sword whirled along its previous sword aura's trajectory towards Ai Changyuan.
The two sword auras overlapped, and the long sword, carrying a sharp and strange force, shot towards Ai Changyuan.
Faced with such a fierce strike, Ai Changyuan also showed a hint of surprise. But the young man didn't panic. His hands formed a boxing print, ignoring the long sword, he struck towards Wang Qi's body with the power of Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction.
With a hiss, Ai Changyuan's fist brushed past Wang Qi's shoulder, taking a few threads from his clothing. Wang Qi's sword, in turn, grazed Ai Changyuan's cheek, leaving behind a mark.
At the critical moment, both of them simultaneously took a step back to avoid a mutual destruction.
Wang Qi bellowed loudly and spun back into the fray with his sword, its aura fierce, unmistakably unleashing "Rapid Flow Break"!
These two madmen were actually engaging in a head-on clash at this moment.
Blade stacking upon blade, force clashing with force. Wang Qi's sword technique, detached from gravity with surface geometry, and the Bai Ze True Formation Slash coordinated seamlessly, even incorporating Turbulence Sword Qi, turning the air within a foot of him into part of the attack!
Such a spectacular performance shocked everyone. Even many disciples from Langde Immortal Institute had to concede that this guy was too strong, too exceptional. It was hard for an ordinary person to even consider contending with him.
Only one person was the exception.
Hu Jianhao watched the close-quarters fight with a sickly smile on his face.
Wang Qi... Can't others see it, or can't I? You've already exhausted your bag of tricks, haven't you? Rapid Flow Break and Waterfall Flow... You keep repeating these two moves, haha!
That bastard Ai Changyuan is extremely skilled in close-quarter combat. Once he finds an opportunity, your undefeated legend will come to an end!
As the fight in the field grew more intense, blood pearls and fabric fragments flew about. Gradually, Xinyue's voice became quieter. Everyone saw that Wang Qi was slowly being overwhelmed. His clothes became more tattered, and his sword momentum was increasingly suppressed.
However, no one noticed the upward curl at the corner of Wang Qi's mouth.
To achieve this, even getting badly beaten was worth it!
Ai Changyuan fought more freely, letting out a long howl. He brazenly pulled back one hand to form balls of mana, using only one hand to suppress Wang Qi.
Quick, finish off that strike!
All Xinyue disciples were screaming in their hearts, but at that moment, Wang Qi suddenly retreated rapidly!
Such a move was bound to miss the chance to break the opponent's killing move!
However, there wasn't a hint of regret or panic on Wang Qi's face, but instead a slight — excitement.
"Go ahead and form mana balls by yourself: I've already calculated the gravitational constant of your modifications!"
"My chance for a turnaround is at the Lagrange point!"
