1029 Min Battle (II)

Jian Wushuang looked at his opponent, his trusted white sword already in his hand. Throughout their generation, he could not remember when they had a meaningful or intense conversation or confrontation. Despite that, they had plenty in common - they were losers played by the cruelty of Heavenly Dao and fate itself.

"It seems we have much in common," said Jian Wushuang.

"Maybe, but there is no need to bond over such a devastating and embarrassing failure," replied Lin Fan calmly.

"You're right. In that case, let's begin." He rushed forward, going on the offensive.

Heavenly Court:

Wang Wei was watching this battle through the Dream World like everybody else. When Lin Fan used his first technique, he squinted his eyes.

"His main Dao is time? No, it's a combination of Dao like mine: he combined Time and Lesser Chaos - so time at the beginning of the universe? Interesting."

Wang Wei could immediately tell the latter chose this Dao due to his unborn child, probably wishing to change the timeline and save them. Furthermore, It's evident that Lin Fan has not completely given up on his ambition to cultivate Greater Chaos Dao, but he has learned from his mistake and waited later on to change it, bypassing or lowering the requirement for the Outlaw Tria through this method.

The battle was intense as early as it began. Lin Fan used his [Chaos Time Dao] while Jian Wushuang used his [Infinite Sword Skills] to counter. In every attack, Jian Wushuang could stab infinitely, slash infinitely, cut infinitely, or use any basic or advanced sword moves infinitely.

As a swordsman, his attack was fierce and relentless. Adding the fact he had achieved the 12th Realm of Swordsmanship, Jian Wushuang showed he was one of this world's peerless swordsmen. Sadly, it was to no avail.

Even with his peak 8-Root Strength and unique Provind Dao Artifact refined using his bones as the main material, Jian Wushuang lost the battle.

'A newly created Acquired Physique?' thought Wang Wei as he glanced at Lin Fan. 'Not bad; its potential is even higher than his former Absolute Chaos Physique.'

Lin Fan had a natural affinity with Chaos, so the new physique his wife, Xu Shi, created for him was in that category. However, despite both having Chaos as their main characteristics, they followed different paths. Xu Shi followed the path of Primordial Chaos, which is a higher or evolved form of Chaos.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan followed the extreme path of Chaos. He tempered and refined his power of Chaos until it was on par with Primordial Chaos but without experiencing evolution or sublimation. The idea is similar to how normal Daos can be cultivated to be on par with Outlaw or Supreme Outlaw Daos.

As a result, his new physique could be called Ultimate Chaos Physique-the pinnacle of chaos that goes beyond absolute.

After their battle, the next round immediately started. The first battle was Xiao Songxi against Yin Gen, and the former patriarch of the Baishe Clan lost. However, the result was not as miserable as many people expected it to be, as Xiao Songxi put up more of a fight than people expected.

He changed his Dao from Swallowing to a unique Sacrifice Dao. The crux of this Dao is that the better the things he sacrifices, the more benefits or results he will receive. Xiao Songxi sacrificed his Baishe Bloodline for a drastic boost in strength and, as a result, gave Yin Gen some trouble.

"What an interesting and promising Dao," commented Wang Wei to himself before smiling. "The Sea Clan is about to suffer again."

The next battle was lackluster. Zhen Biyu did her best against Lin Fan but to no avail. However, it's understandable, given her opponent's strength and the fact her talent lies more on cultivation than battle.

Then, the final battle began: a clash between two titans - Yin Gen and Lin Fan. If not for how mythical Wang Wei's battle against Di Tian was, this fight would have had a lasting impact on the world and history.

As soon as the fight started, Lin Fan did not hold back and showed the world his Nine Extremity Foundation.

"Only 4-Root?" muttered Wang Wei as his eyes shined with the power of fate. "I see."

He understood why Lin Fan did not achieve completion. He had to rush to cultivate to participate in this fight, which affected him. However, the most prominent reason is his flawed Dao Heart. The death of his unborn child had a greater effect on him than he anticipated, and when it was time for the final fusion, such a flaw reduced his accomplishment.

'It's a shame, but there should be ways to remedy the situation in the upper dimension,' thought Wang Wei as he focused on this battle. Yin Gen was not outdone and showed his Infant Fiendgod Realm's achievements and strength on par with Dao Ancestors. With his mighty body and Willpower Manifestation, he dominated most of the fight, making it appear that Lin Fan was about to lose until the latter pulled out his trump card.

Lin Fan summoned the projection of a creature: an ancient, noble, and powerful creature. A creature that existed at the beginning of Chaos when everything was chaotic and empty.

"A creature more ancient, noble, and powerful than Fiendgods?" muttered Wang Wei with squinted eyes. He immediately activated all his powers to divine more information. Blood immediately began to fall from his eyes, mouth, and the other orifices.

"Primordial Demon Gods!"

He only found a name but almost died in the process. Wang Wei exhaled as he swallowed a few pills to calm down and recuperate.

"Primordial Demon Gods," he repeated with some seriousness. "Why do I feel this race has a deep connection with one of the taboos I've encountered?"

He groaned softly as he did not have much to go on. He focused on Lin Fan while muttering: "More importantly, what's your connection to this ancient race that popped up out of nowhere?"

Many thoughts flashed through Wang Wei's mind as he analyzed the situation. Ultimately, he could only conclude one thing: everyone in the universe is someone else's pawn - he was fate's pawn, Di Tian was one of the Cardinals's pawns, and Lin Fan was probably the pawn of this ancient race.

After accepting this fact, Wang Wei continued watching the battle. The final winner was Yin Gen, who used a Pseudo True Will to defeat Lin Fan. And the method he used was actually ingenious, even by Wang Wei's standard.

Most body refiners do not use weapons since they believe their bodies are the most powerful. However, some do, and there are specific weapons for them, like the Blood Nourishing Weapon, which is similar to the Proving Dao Artifact.

Yin Gen cultivated a Blood Nourishing Weapon, allowing it to gain sentience and condense a soul. The weapon then cultivates the Origin System, starting from the Primordial Spirit, and even enters the Duyi Realm by creating a unique soul made of Weapon Qi.

Finally, Yin Gen combined his Willpower Manifestation with his weapon's Duyi Realm, thus achieving a Pseudo True Will.

"What a talented lad. He must have learned from my battle with Di Tian."

Wang Wei was genuinely happy to see how the world improved because of his actions and previous efforts. In this Mini Battle, all the Heaven Chosens have shown remarkable improvement-a direct result of using the Dream World's Battle Tower.

"If his weapon can prove the Dao, he can use a genuine True Will."

A weapon proving the Dao is not unusual, especially for a place like in the upper dimension. In fact, with a proper Grand Dao Source Baptism, this weapon might need to prove the Dao and could sublimate its Duyi Realm into a Dao Will. However, such a method would have restrictions and lower its overall potential, so Wang Wei hoped Yin Gen did things correctly.

Once the champion was decided, the next round was the Ranking Round to determine the other ranking and who could challenge Yin Gen. The result was Lin Fan was second, Jian Wushang took third place, Zhen Biyu came fourth, Jinwu Hua was fifth, Xiao Songxi stole the sixth spot, and Yang Guowei was at the bottom.

Lin Fan declined the opportunity to challenge Yin Gen a second time, but Jian Wushuang still chose to fight. Although he lost, he was satisfied with the experience and learning opportunity. As a swordsman, he had such an undaunting spirit.

Wang Wei summoned the team and had a brief talk with them, telling them to prepare to leave in three days. Then, he held Yin Gen back as he conversed with him, sharing some of his ideas and understanding of fleshly body cultivation, Willpower Manifestation, and the use of True Will.

Emperor Enlightening Academy:

Lin Fan sighed, "I thought I could win the championship and asked him. But now, it seems you have to ask."

"I told you to be more direct, and he won't mind," replied Xu Shi.

"I just don't want to owe him even more than I do."

His previous plan was to ask what he wanted to know as a champion, using the information as the final prize. However, such an act lowered his seniority. However, with the current situation, he was already a junior despite being from the same generation.

"I have to count on you - again."

"I also want some closure," replied Xu Shi while shaking her head. Without wasting time, she rushed to the court.

[AN: I wanted to write the Jian Wushuang vs Lin Fan's match, but after staring at a blank screen for a few hours, I gave up. However, I do want to write a proper high-tier match for him, so it's probably going to be later in the story and most likely against Wang Tian.]
