The battle bewteen Ning Zhe and Leng Yueyan had finally come to an end, and people were still relishing its highlights.

“They are really powerful! I didn’t expect that both of them had realized their martial arts to such level. But I don’t know why Ning Zhe held his hand eventually. Obviously, he can fight with the attack of Leng Yueyan, but he stopped his attack. Considering his strength, he can be promoted. What a pity!” The Headmaster of the Unfettered Sect sighed. He had figured out the inside story.

“Yes. With his remaining spiritual power, Ning Zhe can completely fight with Leng Yueyan, but he stopped his offensive. It’s really strange.” The Headmaster of the Crazy Saber Sect replied.

“The Universal Incantation of the Heavenly Girl fought with the Udumbara Buddha’s Finger! We haven’t seen these kinds of lost martial arts for a long time. Unfortunately, the Ning Zhe didn’t use all of his energy. And if he did, maybe we can see a more exciting battle!” The Headmaster of the Zhenyang Sect followed.

“Enough, we can’t figure out its cause and effect. Didn’t you hear the last words of Ning Zhe? ‘This is the choice of the udumbara, also the choice of his heart.’ The udumbara is the fruit of Taoism of the Buddhists. It’s their life base. The Buddha picked up the flower, and he might be a Buddha or a devil. The flower can affect his life. The Buddhism emphasizes the afterlife, so there will be a day for us to figure it out. Now, let’s wait.” Hua Mengchen sighed. Her soft voice was filled with a lament.

The words of the Headmaster of the Palace of Hundred Flowers would always make them wake up from confusion. The Buddhism indeed emphasized in the afterlife. It is said that every powerful Buddha was born in the last generation. Each of them had a beautiful udumbara in their hearts to let them know their past life and their afterlife. Life and death were just like dreams.

To see a world in a wild flower, and a bodhi in a leaf. In the hearts of all the Buddhists, they considered themselves as a flower. A flower died, and meanwhile a flower blossomed. There would always be two flowers similar to each other in the world. But they couldn’t grow in the world at the same period of time; one blossomed, and the other would wither. This was called a reincarnation. The similar people owned different memories. After they gain enough experience, their udumbara would blossom, and they would see their past life. If they saw the Buddha, they would then become a Buddha too.

The cause and effect involved in this was too much, and no one could intervene it, neither to predict it. The more powerful the one was, the more possible he would be bound by this cause and effect. This went with the strongest ones, and this was the law of the world. No one could violate it. Sometimes, a pair of causes and effect could even change everything in a world. Thinking of those legends, the elders and the Headmasters dared not to speak more. They buried their thoughts in their hearts, because they were afraid that too much intervention might bring big disasters.

“The battle was so fierce. The Universal Incantation of the Heavenly Girl and the Udumbara Buddha’s Finger can be ranked in the top three powerful martial arts of the two sects.”

“Even half of the bluestone arena has been destroyed! Terrible!”

“We Chinese descendant’s martial arts are better than the foreign ones. Good!”

The audience was still relishing. However, Ning Zhe paid no attention to their comments at this moment. He just watching the group of the Sect of the Nine Heavens in a daze.

For Ning Zhe, he also believed that there was a reincarnation in the world, and he wanted to weave the dream of the future. Now was the time, so he had been practicing for decades, only to find a past cause and effect. Now that he was defeated, an emotion that had never been seen in his heart quietly sprouted. He remembered a famous saying in Buddhism: the five hundred glances in the past lives can bring an encounter in this life.

What was the cause and effect of this? It was the thing he wanted to know about the most now, but unfortunately he couldn’t figure it out. Soon after, the next battle would start, so he retracted his heart and paid attention to the arena quietly.

“Which two people will be in the next battle? The following battles won’t have destructive power surpassing this battle, will they?”

“Not necessarily, who knows if the remaining geniuses have shown their real strength.”

“According to the words of Lu Qianchen, Feng Tianming still has his final resorts. Yu Wude can use many kinds of strange arrays every time he fights. It is impossible to know whether there are still stronger arrays of him.”

…

The audience was still discussing. They expected to see this kind of battle between the strongest again. After all, it could feast their eyes and promote their understanding of martial arts, so they hoped to see more this kind of battles.

“The most mysterious person is Wang Bugui, right? Who has seen him using all of his energy? No! From the first day to the present, he has not displayed his real strength, except for the punch he used to defeat Zhang Lan. But that punch only carried his body strength, and his cultivation strength is still unknown.”

Someone uttered while the others were hotly talking. They wanted to find the speaker, but discovered that he was hiding. Nobody knew who he was, but his words were correct. Wang Bugui was too mysterious. He concealed his real strength all the way. Till now, nobody could force him to display his real strength.

This was terrible. The strength of this person and his understanding of the Taoism were both unknown, so was his background, because he was a liberal cultivator. This kind of mysterious enemy was most terrible in the world, because you didn’t know what terrible martial arts he had.

Many cultivators turned their attention to Wang Bugui. But he did not care about the words around him. He only quietly paid attention to the arena under reparation. Nobody knew what he was thinking. He just talked to Yu Wude and the others from time to time.

He looked at the sky with his eyes widely opened, and then turned to smile at Yu Wude. The others followed him to see the sky. The next battle was between Yu Wude and Chu He, which meant he would be in the last battle, fighting against Feng Tianming.

“Wude, go. It’s your turn.” Wang Bugui grinned at Yu Wude, and threw him to the arena. Yu Wude almost fell down on the arena. He stood still after a few steps. Chu He revealed a bitter smile, and then jumped to the arena.

“I didn’t expect my opponent to be you, Brother Chu. It’s the fate. We had a wonderful day drinking and chatting together yesterday, but today, we became enemies.” Yu Wude patted his thigh.

“Haha, don’t talk like this, Brother Yu. It’s just a battle. Let’s just try our best. Even if I’m weaker than you, and lose, we can will sit together to drink and chat.” Chu He laughed.

“Brother Chu, you are right. Then, I won’t hold my hand, and will try my best to fight you to show my respect.” Yu Wude nodded. Now he could only go to all lengths to not live up to Chu He.

“Deal. After this battle, let’s drink together again!” Chu He revealed a happy smile.

After a while, an old bell rang and the two smiled. They made a hold fist salute to each other at the same time, “Please!”

After that, they displayed their magic martial arts to fight each other. Yu Wude formed dozens of small arrays, and then rushed up with his Formation Breaking Sword. Chu He summoned the precious gourd against the arrays, and formed dozens of beams of power to surround himself. Then he took out the Green Jade Flute, and placed it across his mouth, slowly playing an ancient mysterious Taoism melody to attack his opponent.

Yu Wude took the sword in the middle of these sounds. The sound waves couldn’t hurt him at all. At the same time, he formed a huge vertical sword power and a horizontal one, stabbing them toward his opponent. Chu He frowned slightly, speeding up the sound. His blue robe was fluttering with the sound of the flute, making him look like an immortal.

This more powerful flute sound forced Yu Wude even resorted to his third divine array. Countless power, under the leadership of the spirit of the array, rushed toward his opponent. For a time, the sky was filled with Yu Wude’s power. The divine lights devoured Chu He. After half a sip of tea, the battle finally ended. The arrays disappeared, showing the bloody Chu He on the arena. He spoke to Yu Wude with a hold fist salute, “Brother Yu, I lost.”

“Brother Chu, we’re going to drink together at night!” Yu Wude also held a fist. The two men walked out of the arena side by side. They were not like enemies who had fought with each other, but like a couple of brothers who hadn’t seen each other for many years.

Just as they left the arena, people heard a clang of a sword. It was Feng Tianming riding his sword. He landed on the arena, waiting for his opponent.

“Feng Tianming vs Wang Bugui. Both of them have their Sunday punchs that haven’t been shown. It seems to be another big fight!”

“Which one is better, the sword of Feng Tianming, or the fists of Wang Bugui?”

“Everyone, please watch this battle carefully. Perhaps it will help us to understand our martial arts very much. This battle is bound to be fierce!”

The cultivators once again took up their spirit and looked forward to this battle, even including the genius disciples of each sect.

“Junior, according to my observation, the strength of Wang Bugui is definitely horrible, no less than Ning Zhe. I know the strength of Feng Tianming. He was not the match of Wang Bugui.” Lu Qiancheng spoke to Leng Yueyan, frowning slightly.

“As for a man who deserves your praise, I will observe him carefully.” Leng Yueyan nodded.

“He is the descendant of that sect. I don’t know how strong his real strength is.” Meiqing whispered. The disciples of the Palace of Hundred Flowers had known the origin of Wang Bugui, but their Headmaster asked them not to pass it. This sect has always been terrifying, but few people can say why. Because those who can were almost dead!

“I’ll go!” Wang Bugui waved hand to his brothers, turned and left.

“Boss, take care, you will definitely win!”

“Brother, your mystical power is powerful. There’s no suspense of this battle!”

“I look forward to seeing your strength, Brother Wang!”

Yu Wude and the others were cheering in the rear. Even Chu He also held a fist to bless. Wang Bugui waved to them again, and jumped on the center of the arena.

“Clang!”

The long bell echoed again, announcing the beginning of the last battle of the quarterfinal.
