The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Zhi Xin was a bit confused. What was going on?

This was a normal battle. He hadn't said anything that should provoke a fool.

Why did the fool suddenly start howling like that? And it sounded so desolate, like he'd lost everything, making one feel sympathetic.

"Zhi Xin, let's decide this!" the fool suddenly roared, and then his Immortal Power surged wildly, throwing caution to the wind!

"Alright." Since the fool said so, Zhi Xin nodded in agreement, and like the fool, he also unleashed the Immortal Power within him to the limit without any reservations.

The auras surrounding the two continued to climb, causing the entire arena to hum with vibration.

Space distorted and crumbled.

Fortunately, a strong protective array was set up around the arena, or else the onlookers would be in trouble. In battles of this level, a Cultivator below the level of an Immortal Monarch, if caught even slightly, would either die or be severely injured.

"This is about the power of an average fifth-stage Immortal Monarch, right?"

"Indeed."

"The Cultivators of the Kao Shan Sect are too—well, a third-stage Immortal Monarch is erupting with power comparable to an average fifth-stage Immortal Monarch! I really don't know how they cultivate."

"Speaking of which, does the Kao Shan Sect have some special cultivation mental method?"

"I think it's possible."

The crowd erupted in discussions, and it's no wonder they were guessing wildly. Geng Bucuo had already won a fight beyond his level, and now the fool demonstrated combat power inconsistent with his Realm.

Both are from the Kao Shan Sect, which led to such speculations.

"I have a punch that can shake the heavens!" In the next moment, the fool roared, his entire body rising from the ground.

His right fist swung like a cannonball.

All the Immortal Power gathered and swept up around his right fist, forming a terrifying point of power. And this point was growing smaller and smaller. Of course, smaller doesn't mean weaker. On the contrary, the fool's aura became more terrifying, like a stormy sea.

Zhi Xin was naturally fully focused at this time, unable to afford any slack.

The fool was very strong, surprisingly so beyond his imagination.

Initially, Zhi Xin believed that even if the fool could confront him, the final victor would unquestionably be himself. After all, he was from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, and his level was higher than the fool's by a Realm.

But now, Zhi Xin's confidence vanished completely.

It turned out the fool's combat power was tremendously fierce, and the outcome was a toss-up. In fact, under this blow, Zhi Xin felt a hint of fear, an unresistible fear.

It was as if you were facing a master overwhelmingly stronger than you with an all-out strike.

This punch from the fool wasn't just powerful, it was soul-shaking.

Extremely formidable!

Of course, Zhi Xin couldn't simply concede due to intimidation.

"Boom!" The Buddha Mallet in Zhi Xin's hand suddenly fell, slamming violently onto the ground, releasing a powerful aura.

In an instant, Zhi Xin seemed transformed, gleaming with golden light, resembling an enlightened Buddha.

"With my power, I summon the prayer beads, rise!" Zhi Xin's eyes were piercing, and the six dark golden Buddha Beads hanging on the Buddha Mallet suddenly detached and whirled around him.

The rotation speed of the beads was incredibly fast. With each round, the power of the six beads increased once.

Soon, the beads shone with golden light, and an illusory golden Buddha appeared to descend upon Zhi Xin.

"Whoa, isn't this the Golden Buddha Holy Words from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?"

"Uh, it really seems like it is. Isn't the Golden Buddha Holy Words something only the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple and the next abbot can cultivate?"

"Could it be that Zhi Xin is the candidate for the next abbot?"

"Apparently, that's true."

Seeing the golden Buddha phantom over Zhi Xin, many people widened their eyes.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has always been very low-key, to the point that its monks rarely leave the temple without reason. Thus, the Land of Immortals knows very little about them or what happens inside.

The fact that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has chosen the next abbot is something very few people know about.

And the fact that the candidate for the next abbot is Zhi Xin is known only to some of the temple's higher-ups.

"Zhi Xin is the abbot's disciple; he has a good temperament, outstanding talent, and is very understanding, making him the rightful candidate for the next abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple," Ku Zhu remarked from the mountain peak.

Liu Mingyue nodded. Although she hadn't had direct contact with Zhi Xin, she could see from his interactions and battle with the fool that Zhi Xin was indeed excellent.

Even if his aptitude wasn't the very best, his composure was tranquil and well-suited to becoming the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Becoming the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple requires not just supreme strength and talent but also a focus more on one's Buddhist nature, distinguishing it from other sects.

Obviously, in all respects, Zhi Xin is the undeniable choice for the next abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

"He may be the next abbot, but he still won't beat the fool," Liu Mingyue suddenly said.

"That's still uncertain now, isn't it? I think..."

However, Ku Zhu didn't continue because the fool suddenly unleashed another surge of power for no apparent reason.

Ku Zhu was confused about how this happened. A moment ago, the fool was already giving his all!

"He's won." Tang Rao, for his part, wore a faint smile on his face.

The extra power the fool suddenly released was not due to any special technique or Spiritual Medicine, but because he comprehended the Kao Shan Heart Method.

This additional power came from the Kao Shan Heart Method, taking the earth as his mountain.

Like Tang Rao, the fool's comprehension of using the earth as his support translated into a mighty and boundless strength.

As soon as the extra power was added, the fool's punch became even more fierce.

"Oh no!" As the fool's fist collided with Zhi Xin's Buddha, Zhi Xin exclaimed.

At the moment when the fool comprehended the Kao Shan Heart Method, Zhi Xin realized he had lost.

Initially, when both he and the fool were fully unleashing their power, the match was a fifty-fifty chance. But with the fool's sudden comprehension of a part of the Kao Shan Heart Method, and the added power thereafter, the balance tipped towards the fool.

The sound of their collision wasn't loud, but both forces dissipated and extinguished each other.

In the end, Zhi Xin was blasted backward but did not fall out of the arena nor suffered any serious injury. However, Zhi Xin did not re-engage in the fight, he just shook his head with a wry smile.

Evidently, he had lost.

If the fool hadn't held back at the end, Zhi Xin wouldn't have been standing without harm. He might have been severely injured or even died.

Though the fool had only added one extra force, in their all-out state, there was no defense reserved. If hit, it would be fatal or inflict serious injury.

"I lost," Zhi Xin shrugged his shoulders and then cupped his fists, "Fool, you are truly formidable. When I am stronger, I'll challenge you again for a spar."

"Sure," the fool nodded.

After Zhi Xin leapt off the stage, the fool hurriedly left, heading straight towards Tang Rao's direction.

Of course, the fool's target wasn't Tang Rao, but Tu Hongxiu next to him.
