Chapter 196 Who Still Uses Traditional Methods To Compete These Days?
In the arena, Chu Shen was unaware that his reputation was spreading once again.
Gong Liusu's moves became even more fierce. Despite the boost from "Earth's Favor," there was an objective gap in their cultivation levels. Without using any other means, Chu Shen began to struggle.
The two clashed once again, then separated, each occupying a different position.
Chu Shen shook his hand and said, "Senior Sister, you're quite skilled. The White Tiger Law Manifestation is so domineering."
Leaving aside Gong Liusu's personal combat power, the Law Manifestation was indeed troublesome.
The Law Manifestation at the Spirit Fusion realm was no longer a mere illusion, but a tangible entity that could assist cultivators in battle. It also possessed an additional innate Divine Ability.
The White Tiger, representing slaughter and belonging to the Western Metal element, naturally had a Divine Ability related to the art of killing. Combined with Gong Liusu's proficiency in swordsmanship, this Divine Ability was surprisingly similar to the Unlimited Blade Works of the Boundless Realm.
Suddenly, a sword appeared out of thin air and flew towards Chu Shen. It was truly unstoppable. If it weren't for the passive Divine Ability of his "Master of Arms," which greatly neutralized the White Tiger's Divine Ability, this battle would have been extremely difficult to continue.
Gong Liusu was not good with words. Even though she greatly admired Chu Shen, she didn't say much, only a few words: "You're not bad, not beneath me."
Her voice was pleasant to listen to, completely different from her stern appearance. It had a somewhat sweet and coquettish tone.
Chu Shen was slightly taken aback and quickly regained his composure. This genius before him had genuine skills, far surpassing those of ordinary women. He said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister."
Gong Liusu shook her head. "It's a pity you're only at the Foundation Building stage."
This was indeed a fact. Apart from spiritual power, the biggest difference between the Foundation Building stage and the Spirit Gathering stage was endurance.
The difference in spiritual power is not a big issue, thanks to the effect of "Earth's Favor" on Chu Shen. The gap between him and an average Spirit Gathering stage cultivator is not significant.
However, there is a much larger difference in endurance.
Spirit Gathering stage cultivators have already achieved the spiritualization of their meridians, allowing them to truly harness the power of heaven and earth. The natural spiritual power is their reserve, and their operations, recovery, and release have undergone a qualitative change compared to the Foundation Building stage.
On the other hand, Foundation Building stage cultivators still primarily rely on the circulation of their meridians. Although they can absorb external spiritual energy for their own use, compared to Spirit Gathering stage cultivators, they are like a small water pipe compared to a floodgate. They are not in the same league.
As a result, at this point in the battle, Gong Liusu took a brief rest, and the spiritual power she had previously consumed had already recovered quite a bit. Chu Shen, on the other hand, had to swallow large amounts of spiritual energy pills, and his recovery speed had also slowed down significantly.
However, his recovery speed was already much faster than that of an average Foundation Building stage cultivator. It seemed to be a unique characteristic of the Star Chart Foundation, with a much stronger connection to the spiritual veins of heaven and earth than an ordinary Foundation Building stage cultivator.
This meant that he couldn't fully recover, but he could still recover to about fifty or sixty percent, just slightly slower than Gong Liusu.
"Indeed, there is an objective gap between me and Senior Sister. Therefore, in dealing with Senior Sister, I have to use some other means. I hope Senior Sister can forgive me."
Gong Liusu didn't say anything, but nodded, indicating her tacit approval of him preparing a new technique.
This was confidence, as well as dignity.
Chu Shen inserted the sword embryo into the nearby hillside and took out various items from his storage bag.
Not only Gong Liusu, but also the spectators watching the competition outside were stunned.
Because what Chu Shen took out at this moment were armors shimmering with precious light, obviously all magical treasures, and they were complete sets: an inner lining, followed by a chainmail, then an outer layer of leather armor, and finally a layer of mountain patterned armor on the outside... Wait, what does it mean to suddenly put on armor in the middle of a fight?
But it didn't end there. After putting on the armor, Chu Shen took out a large shield, a battlefield-exclusive polearm, hung a bow on his body, and carried a quiver of arrows. He also hung the sword embryo on his waist, completing his full set of equipment.
Is this a battle or a martial arts competition?
Many people were confused.
But Chu Shen said, "Senior sister, don't be fooled by the heavy appearance of my equipment. In reality, they are lightweight and imbued with special spiritual essence. Each piece has its own unique effects.
Take this shield, for example. It is not only sturdy but also has a counter-attack effect. Any attack that lands on it will be partially reflected back.
And these iron boots, although they appear heavy and deliver heavy blows, they are imbued with agility, greatly increasing my movement speed and even allowing me to briefly fly.
So, this is my stance when entering full combat. Although it may seem like relying on external forces, these artifacts are also part of a cultivator's strength, don't you think?"
This set of equipment was undoubtedly obtained through Chu Shen and his concubines' long-term efforts and exploration. To be able to gather such a set from countless unknown rewards shows his dedication.
And the effects of this equipment are indeed powerful, encompassing almost all beneficial enhancements, whether it be enhancing strength, agility, spiritual power, recovery ability, or providing additional shields, counter-attacks, and active attacks, it has it all...
To be honest, even when facing a Spirit Gathering stage cultivator who is one realm higher than him, wearing this set of equipment, Chu Shen still has a chance to fight.
The importance of equipment is still significant for cultivators.
Gong Liusu also recognized the threat posed by this set of equipment, and her tone became more serious. Although she only said "come," the deep meaning behind it was understood by everyone paying attention to this battle.
Then, Chu Shen disappeared from his original position.
[Shadow Moon], appearing behind Gong Liusu!
The Mo Blade, accompanied by a howling wind, descended upon Gong Liusu!
Gong Liusu reacted extremely quickly, raising her sword to block. In a deep and distant booming sound, she was actually blasted away.
With the support of his equipment, Chu Shen's output was multiplied!
"Tiger!"
Gong Liusu immediately summoned the White Tiger Law Manifestation, and several flying swords appeared out of thin air, slashing towards Chu Fei at lightning speed.
He still had to pass the inspection of the "Battle Master," but the difference in realm greatly reduced the obstructive effect of this inspection. Chu Shen raised his large shield, and the impact of the flying swords was already there.
Just as he said, this shield had a counter-effect. The clash between the flying swords and the shield created intense sparks, but there was also a spiritual light that was bounced back by the shield, heading straight towards Gong Liusu.
Gong Liusu was slightly surprised, but not panicked. With a casual summon, she deflected the spiritual light with her strength, carrying an even stronger spiritual light to counterattack Chu Shen.
Using the technique of "Four Liang Moving a Thousand Jin," the stars shifted and the battle changed!
Chu Shen still used the old method, raising his shield, and as long as it couldn't be broken, it meant his victory.
It was very shameless, but also very effective. The spiritual light kept being countered and sent back by the shifting stars technique. In the end, it had turned into a meteor-like object. Gong Liusu found it difficult to deflect it every time, far from being as relaxed as Chu Shen.
The audience could see it clearly. Chu Shen's equipment was really shameless. If they continued to drag on, it was possible that Gong Liusu would lose!
Chu Shen, however, was very proud. In this day and age, who still competes in the traditional way? Of course, it's about playing to one's greatest advantage!
But for many people, this set of tactics was still a bit too advanced.
Outside the arena, an elder from the Lingjian Peak who was watching the battle jumped up and said, "I protest!"
