Celestial Realm Alchemy Sovereign

As Terra Su's words fell, a chill swept through the crowd.

It was well known that the first and third branches together received forty Minor Origin Elixirs each month, totaling four hundred and eighty in a year.

Not to mention over three or five years...

The wager Terra Su proposed was ruthlessly steep, aiming to cut off the first and third branches' supply of Minor Origin Elixirs!

Yet Timothy Jiang agreed without hesitation: "Hmph, why not?"

After all, he couldn't possibly lose, so he might as well accept the bet!

But just at that moment, a voice from outside the ring called out, "Hold on!"

Following that, Otto Jiang approached with a somber expression: "Timothy is just a junior, he can't decide on such a large wager. Let's change the stakes."

Terra Su had anticipated Otto Jiang's interference and was not surprised.

If it had been Robert Jiang, he wouldn't have objected, because on the surface, Terra Su's chances of winning were next to none.

But the cautious Otto Jiang wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of an upset. If Terra Su, by some fluke, won, the first and third branches' cultivation resources would be doomed.

Of course, that possibility was extremely slim.

Terra Su replied indifferently, "Alright, then let's change it to this: if I win, the first and third branches will give the second branch five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs in one go."

Five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs would be a heavy blow to the first and third branches.

Otto Jiang and Robert Jiang exchanged glances, and Otto Jiang slowly agreed, "Alright."

After all, it was their side that initiated the bet. To refuse this wager would be like slapping their own faces.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I won't lose!" Timothy Jiang said, brimming with confidence.

Terra Su remained silent, but a cold smirk tugged at his lips. Soon, Otto Jiang would deeply regret his nephew's foolishness.

The sparring began swiftly.

Timothy Jiang drew his sword with a sneer, "Terra Su, didn't you want me to use my full strength? My specialty is the sword. Let's see if you can withstand three moves under my blade?"

"Enough talk."

With a scoff, Terra Su also drew his sword, "Then let's play with swords."

As both swords were drawn, gasps filled the air. It turned out that Timothy Jiang's sword was forged from Cold Light Meteor Iron through eighteen complex processes by his father, Robert Jiang. Its sharpness and compatibility with Martial Practitioners in the Inducing Qi Realm far surpassed that of ordinary swords.

However, the sword in Terra Su's hand was nothing more than a common iron sword.

In terms of weaponry alone, Terra Su was at a significant disadvantage.

With sword in hand, Timothy Jiang's presence surged as he unleashed his eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm cultivation level, executing a Normal Grade low-tier sword technique, charging at Terra Su.

"Trinity Sword Technique!"

Otto Jiang nodded in approval from the sidelines. Although Timothy's Martial Technique wasn't as high-level as Stewart's, just Timothy's eighth layer cultivation was enough to instantly defeat Terra Su, who was at the seventh layer.

A whole layer's difference in cultivation meant a world of difference in strength. The saying "Ten layers of Inducing Qi, each layer a different heaven and earth" was no empty phrase!

But as Otto Jiang thought this, he saw Terra Su suddenly step forward on the sparring ground.

With that one step, Terra Su's body suddenly unleashed a surge of Qi that was in no way inferior to Timothy Jiang's!

"Inducing Qi Realm, eighth layer!"

Sophia Xu gasped from not too far away, her face showing shock. Little Terra had actually broken through to the eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm!

"How can that kid be at the eighth layer?"

Robert Jiang, standing beside Otto Jiang, was also stunned. According to their information, Terra Su was clearly at the seventh layer, and it hadn't been long since his last breakthrough. How could he have advanced to the eighth layer so quickly?

"Big brother, it seems we've underestimated that kid's strength!" Robert Jiang's face darkened. They had thought Timothy's cultivation would easily crush Terra Su, but who could have expected this turn of events?

Otto Jiang was surprised too, but quickly retorted, "What's the panic? Even if their cultivation levels are the same, the gap in Martial Techniques and weapons can't be bridged. Don't you have confidence in your own son?"

Not to mention the power of Timothy's sword, the "Trinity Sword Technique" he practiced was also a precious Normal Grade low-tier sword technique, not much inferior to a mid-tier one.

"Big brother is right, I refuse to believe that kid can produce a sword technique better than the Trinity Sword Technique," Robert Jiang sneered after Otto Jiang's reminder.

Terra Su was just an ordinary disciple of the Orthodox One Sect. It would be good enough if the sect gave him a normal Normal Grade low-tier Martial Technique, let alone expect him to receive something as precious as the Trinity Sword Technique.

Even if the Orthodox One Sect had given Terra Su a precious Normal Grade low-tier Martial Technique, such high-level techniques weren't something an eighth-layer Martial Practitioner could easily master.

Robert Jiang had lost his composure for a moment upon seeing Terra Su's true cultivation level, especially with a bet of five hundred Minor Origin Elixirs at stake.

But now that he had calmed down, he knew Terra Su couldn't possibly win.

In the ring.

"Take my sword!" Timothy Jiang shouted.

The sword's light was like snow, swiftly closing in on Terra Su!

Yet Terra Su stood with his eyes nearly closed, as if in meditation, not dodging or evading.

Seeing this, a cold smile crept onto Timothy Jiang's lips. Perhaps Terra Su felt he had no chance and thus gave up resisting?

But just as Timothy Jiang thought this, Terra Su's eyes suddenly opened.

As Timothy Jiang's sword came within a foot of him, Terra Su abruptly raised his own sword!

"Waves Stacking Slash!"

Layer upon layer of sword energy erupted like successive waves, one after another, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and with deceptive speed, he slashed horizontally at Timothy Jiang!

One wave!

Two waves!

Three waves!

Clang!

Their swords collided with great force.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After three muffled sounds of air bursting, one of them staggered, barely able to hold onto their sword, and stumbled back more than a dozen steps!

That person was not Terra Su, as everyone had imagined, but Timothy Jiang!

"How is this possible? Young Master Timothy was pushed back so far by just one of Terra Su's strikes?"

Timothy Jiang barely steadied himself, his face a mix of shock and disbelief, murmuring, "How is this possible?"

His direct confrontation with Terra Su had ended with him stumbling back more than a dozen steps?

"What exactly happened? Terra Su only struck once, and it broke through Young Master Timothy's sword technique?"

Everything had happened so quickly that many spectators hadn't seen it clearly.

Only Timothy Jiang knew that Terra Su's strike seemed like one, but in reality, it carried three layers of force, each stronger than the last!

By the time the second layer of force erupted, Timothy Jiang was already struggling to resist, and the explosion of the third layer's force led to his direct defeat.
