Chapter 489: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_2
A young man with a bob cut and bangs covering his eyes, dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, stretched out his hand and reached into the trunk of the tree, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that sealed a piece of the Bagua Mirror.
Naturally, Mi Yudao recognized Zhongli Tianyu. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, then hesitated, and ultimately just sighed without saying a word.
“Don’t you two know the rules? I’ve already claimed this cave.”
After taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere, Zhongli Tianyu turned his head towards the two of them, speaking in a cold tone.
“That Device Nurturing Sphere is registered to Senior Mi in our Student Association’s ‘Map of Treasures’. It only seals an Array Plate, unrelated to your Bagua Mirror, and it’s a live seal at that. I hope you won’t disturb the flow of the surrounding Spiritual Energy.”
Chen Mobai pointed to the Device Nurturing Sphere nestled between the roots and broken stones of the Fire Spirit Tree, and then pointed to Mi Yudao, indicating that he was the first to discover it. According to the rules, if Zhongli Tianyu wanted to take it as well, he should compensate them with some Good Deed Points.
“I’m not interested in that.”
However, after Zhongli Tianyu got the fragment of the Bagua Mirror, he didn’t even glance at the other Device Nurturing Sphere which contained the Array Plate.
Just as Mi Yudao let out a sigh of relief, Zhongli Tianyu pointed towards the direction of the cave entrance, indicating they could leave.
“Now that we’ve settled the public matters, I have a personal matter. I was wondering if you’d be interested in participating in the Daoist Academy’s offline exchange meeting?”
Chen Mobai started the conversation with the Device Nurturing Sphere and promptly moved on to the main subject.
“Not interested. Since I’m in a good mood today, disappear from my sight immediately. Don’t make me kick you out.”
Zhongli Tianyu didn’t even pay full attention to either of the two. His eyes, hidden under his flat bangs, were fixed on the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand. A fragment of the Bagua Mirror, which seemed to have been reassembled after being shattered and falling to the ground, appeared on his palm.
As soon as the Mirror appeared, the previously quiet Device Nurturing Sphere began to emit streaks of firelight. Then it floated out of the sphere’s surface, forming a Li Gua (Separation Symbol).
At this moment, the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror in Chen Mobai’s Qi Sea suddenly began to tremble, as if it had encountered a source of power that greatly attracted it.
In the Immortal Sects, and especially in the Daoist Academy, one doesn’t have to worry about stealing treasures.
So, Chen Mobai didn’t hold back and let his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror out directly.
This bronze mirror instantly emitted a radiant flame of Yang, seemingly wanting to pull in the Li Gua on the Device Nurturing Sphere’s surface.
“Are you seeking death?”
Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to have misunderstood.
However, he finally looked up at Chen Mobai.
He brushed his bangs aside, revealing a pair of eyes as black as ink, as deep as the starry sky. In them, the Bagua was faintly rotating, evolving into wind and thunder.
“Sorry, it seems that my innate artifact has some connection with your Bagua Mirror, so I couldn’t control it for a moment.”
Chen Mobai said this and stretched out his hand to stop his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror, but his goal had already been achieved.
“Senior Mi, why don’t you go back first?”
Chen Mobai suddenly turned to Mi Yudao and said. The latter hesitated for a moment, but considering his friend’s combat capabilities, he finally nodded.
“Be careful. I’ll wait for you at the Student Association. If you don’t come back by tonight, I’ll report this to Director Che.”
Words from Mi Yudao caused Chen Mobai to chuckle involuntarily.
Although Zhongli Tianyu had already reached the Foundation Establishment Level Seven, he definitely wasn’t a match for him.
But Mi Yudao was worried about him, so he didn’t explain further. He waved his hand to indicate that he should leave first to avoid disturbing their spar.
“Hmph, don’t worry. At most, I’ll just teach him a lesson.”
As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he raised his right hand, and a green current of air condensed in his palm. It turned into a crescent moon-shaped blade in a blink of an eye and slashed towards Chen Mobai.
“Student Zhongli, don’t you recognize me?”
Chen Mobai was a bit surprised. Now in the Immortal Sects, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator would dare to use such a probing move against him.
He didn’t use his Sword Light, but the Yi Wood Divine Thunder from his palm erupted, turning into a flicker of green lightning. It shattered the air current arc blade and struck Zhongli Tianyu’s forehead.
Zi la la!
However, a purple thunder abruptly appeared and flashed in front of Zhongli Tianyu’s forehead, absorbing all of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.
“Your lightning-based method is not bad, but, I am the Thunder Emperor.”
As he was talking, Zhongli Tianyu clenched his right hand in the air, a purple thunderbolt taking shape like a sharp blade in the center of his palm. It was like a long spear, which he hurled right towards Chen Mobai.
A roaring sound echoed through the ancient cave that was unknowable in age, quaking because of this Thunderbolt Spear.
Chen Mobai frowned; he also intended to leave a deep impression on Zhongli Tianyu by thoroughly defeating him in Thunder method, the very thing he excelled in.
He ramped up the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to Rank-2 Peak.
A cyan-colored electric light condensed and stretched across his palm, morphing into a Spider Web of Thunder and Lightning.
With his flawless understanding of this Thunder method, the strength was just right, exactly what was required to trap the purple Thunderbolt Spear.
After experiencing it firsthand, Chen Mobai realized that Zhongli Tianyu’s Thunder method seemed grander than his own, emphasizing destruction and annihilation with terrifying eradicating power. Could it be the legendary Purple Sky God Thunder?
While he pondered, the power of both Thunder methods, under his meticulous control, dissolved into nothingness simultaneously.
It signified that the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Thunderbolt Spear perfectly balanced each other out.
Zhongli Tianyu, seeing this, widened his eyes in disbelief.
[Coincidence?]
He certainly didn’t believe that it was all under Chen Mobai’s control, but at that moment, he realized that this cultivator, seemingly not as powerful as him, seemed a little formidable.
“You’re lucky to witness my full strength.”
Zhongli Tianyu finally got serious; the “Xun Hexagram” and “Zhen Hexagram” appeared in his pupils hidden beneath flat bangs.
Suddenly, he disappeared from sight.
“Impressive speed.”
Chen Mobai, a veteran of numerous battles, had gained ample experience dealing with swift opponents during his intense fight with Lu Qiulong.
After praising, he flicked his thumb towards his back.
A cyan-colored electric light, like a drill, burst forth abruptly. Zhongli Tianyu’s face, behind Chen Mobai, turned ashen, then the Yi Wood Divine Thunder hit him, but a flash of purple thunderbolt quickly emerged to block the electric light.
The electric and thunder lights unleashed the most dazzling radiance in a flash. Just when Zhongli Tianyu was expecting a massive explosion, the two forces suddenly melted into thin air again.
[What kind of monster is this man!]
After consecutive occurrences, Zhongli Tianyu finally understood the danger of Chen Mobai.
This man’s Magic Duel ability was all too capable of making a complete fool out of him.
But the prideful man that he was, the real body of the Bagua Mirror appeared on his forehead, the two symbols of Wind and Thunder in his eyes materialized, and his entire body exploded into six to seven purple thunderbolt beams. Then, he cupped his hands which formed into a giant Thunder Ball, and smashed it heavily towards Chen Mobai before him.
This Thunder Ball was so powerful that it had far surpassed the Rank-2 level.
Only by utilizing the power of the Bagua Mirror could Zhongli Tianyu barely manifest this thunder force.
He didn’t believe Chen Mobai could dissolve it as perfectly as before after this attack.
By this point, Zhongli Tianyu knew he was no match for the monster before his eyes, but he wanted to break his humiliating streak of being manipulated.
Even if it just made this guy step back…
Just as Zhongli Tianyu, with wide eyes and flying hair, was slamming down his most powerful Thunder Ball, Chen Mobai finally turned around.
And their eyes met.
Chen Mobai suddenly smiled; then under the incredulous gaze of Zhongli Tianyu, he lifted his right hand again. The cyan lightning condensed into a mirror-like water in his palm, then it was poured out like a sprinkler, transforming the Lightning-Water into a clear and transparent barrier.
Zhongli Tianyu’s Thunder Ball dramatically fell onto the Lightning-Water barrier. It was like a stone falling into the deep sea, made huge waves but returned to tranquility soon.
Finally, the light and shadow faded away, revealing his open hands and Chen Mobai’s slender right palm.
Chen Mobai, extending his right hand, gently patted the forehead of Zhongli Tianyu who stood there shocked and numb, announcing his victory in the friendly match.
To be honest, it didn’t feel like a significant achievement.
He felt like he was a bit of a bully.
