My Fairy Growth System-Chapter 353 - 352: Qingying No Match for Chu Jianyang

Fairy Duan Qingying stood on the Dueling Platform, her figure graceful and her aura like that of an orchid. She held a long sword that seemed to drip with verdant freshness, her eyes firm and profound.

In the younger generation, Fairy Duan Qingying’s strength was exceptional, but to ensure greater security, three days ago, Yu Qingtan found her and gave her a Five-Star Ascension Fruit.

Although Duan Qingying was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, consuming a Five-Star Ascension Fruit was somewhat wasteful, yet Yu Qingtan, in order to win, directly promised to give her another one a year later. Duan Qingying was flattered, and her relationship with Yu Qingtan had grown considerably closer.

After ingesting the Five-Star Ascension Fruit, within three days, Duan Qingying’s cultivation level had reached the peak of the Golden Core mid-stage, and her comprehension of the Path of Wood had also reached the Third Level.

This time, for the sake of Wendao Sect and for Yu Qingtan, she was determined to give it her all.

Chu Jianyang, on the other hand, was dressed in black and held his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Nine Section Sword, radiating a sharp and formidable aura. As a genius from the sword peak of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, his strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

"Begin!" As soon as the words of Venerable Constant Guard fell, Chu Jianyang was the first to launch an attack.

With a movement, Chu Jianyang turned into a black afterimage, his Nine Section Sword aiming directly at Duan Qingying with fierce sword intent. Like Li Qingxuan, he also practiced body refinement, and thus he chose close combat, using a sword technique to close the distance swiftly.

Duan Qingying kept her composure, nimbly dodging the attacks while her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Emerald Bamboo Sword, lashed out, its verdant sword energies colliding with the intent of the Nine Section Sword, emitting crisp metallic clangs.

Both moved with exceptional agility, their sword energies crisscrossing on the Dueling Platform, dazzling the surrounding spectators. However, as time passed, Duan Qingying gradually began to feel the pressure.

Without specializing in body refinement, Duan Qingying started to struggle with defense as Chu Jianyang’s attacks grew increasingly fierce. Just when Chu Jianyang was about to thoroughly suppress and defeat her.

"Ah~"

A loud shout erupted, and the Spiritual Energy on the Dueling Platform began to pour frantically into Duan Qingying’s body—she was on the verge of a breakthrough, likely due to the residual effects of the Five-Star Ascension Fruit.

Duan Qingying quickly took out a small pile of top-grade Spirit Stones and started her breakthrough, and Chu Jianyang also temporarily halted his attack. This was not a fight to the death, after all, and hindering someone’s path was an endless enmity.

Breaking through in the midst of battle, such an exceedingly rare occurrence, left the Orthodox side extremely exhilarated, while the Demonic Path’s side looked displeased. However, figures like Honorable Luomu remained unfazed, confident in Chu Jianyang.

Massive amounts of Spiritual Energy enveloped Duan Qingying’s body, every flow of Spiritual Energy seeming to carry the rhythm of life. Her Emerald Bamboo Sword also seemed to sense its master’s change, vibrating gently and emitting soft hums.

In an incredibly short span of time, Duan Qingying completed her breakthrough from the mid to the late stage of the Golden Core. Her demeanor instantly became more composed, and her eyes sparkled with an even firmer light. The sword intent emanating from her Emerald Bamboo Sword was sharper than before, as if it could tear the very space apart.

"Again!" Duan Qingying called out, her Emerald Bamboo Sword thrusting forward.

With a fierce sword intent, her Emerald Bamboo Sword thrust at Chu Jianyang, the tip seemingly concentrated with the endless vitality of wood, greatly amplified in power. Chu Jianyang, however, remained composed as his silhouette flickered, turning into a black afterimage to deftly dodge Duan Qingying’s attack.

Chu Jianyang gave a slight smile, and then his figure burst forth in a flash, his Nine Section Sword transforming into nine beams of light, stabbing at Duan Qingying from nine different directions. This technique, named "Nine Swords as One," was his unique spell, a sword technique he created at the pinnacle of the Third Level of his Sword Dao comprehension.

Duan Qingying’s expression was solemn; she could feel the terrifying power of Chu Jianyang’s move. She swiftly summoned the spiritual power within her body, and the sword light of her Emerald Sword transformed into a green light screen in her hands. At the same time, she executed a Third Stage spell, the Emerald Bamboo Barrier, attempting to withstand the assault of the Nine Section Sword.

However, the might of the Nine Section Sword exceeded her imagination, and the light screen covered in emerald bamboo leaves shattered swiftly under the onslaught of nine beams of sword light. Duan Qingying’s figure retreated explosively, but she was still pierced through the arm by a beam of sword light.

Duan Qingying clenched her silver teeth, preparing to expend the energy of her Golden Core for another attempt when a pleasant voice rang out.

"We concede!" The speaker was Yu Qingtan. Since Duan Qingying had not yet reached an utterly losing situation, it was inconvenient for Venerable Shenfeng and the others to intervene. But if Duan Qingying expended the energy of her Golden Core to fight, her recently achieved breakthrough might very well fall back, which Yu Qingtan thought unnecessary.

Although Duan Qingying had broken through to the Late Stage of the Golden Core, she was still slightly inferior to Chu Jianyang in both strength and combat experience. Even if she burst forth again, it would be tough to defeat Chu Jianyang and, moreover, Yu Qingtan felt that Chu Jianyang still had cards up his sleeve.

Upon hearing Yu Qingtan’s words, Duan Qingying looked towards Yu Qingtan. With a nod and a smile from Yu Qingtan, Duan Qingying flew out of the Dueling Platform with some reluctance.

The dueling on the platform reached the final and most crucial match. With the score tied at two to two in the previous four matches, whichever side won this one would claim victory in the entire duel.

"For the last match, cultivators below thirty years old, both sects should report the name of the participant to me!" called Constant Guard Honor, and two Jade Slips flew towards him simultaneously.

Constant Guard Honor caught them, his Divine Sense probing inside, then announced, "The last match will be between Bai Junjun and Tan Suqin!"

The Venerable of the Extreme Path Demon Sect displayed a confident expression, while the Venerables of Wendao Sect and Cangqiong Sword Sect looked somewhat worried. However, Yu Qingtan’s composed demeanor reassured them considerably.

Soon, Bai Junjun, dressed in a white gown with bare jade feet, and an elegant beauty clad in a plain-colored dress appeared on the Dueling Platform.

"Extreme Dao Sect, Bai Junjun, twenty-seven years old, in the Late Stage of the Golden Core, please enlighten me!"

"Wendao Sect, Tan Suqin, twenty-eight years old, in the Late Stage of the Golden Core, please enlighten me!"

The Jade Foot Witch Bai Junjun had "accidentally" discovered her foe Fang Ling at the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and had quietly gone to settle the score, only to inadvertently involve herself once again.

Now, having resolved their misunderstanding regarding Yu Qingtan, she had become Fang Ling’s close female confidant. Fang Ling had generously bestowed many benefits upon her, which had caused her cultivation level to soar rapidly, reaching the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

Despite having cleared up the misunderstanding, her feelings of animosity towards Yu Qingtan remained deep. Even though they couldn’t be together, Fang Ling was still in love with Yu Qingtan, which was the conclusion Bai Junjun drew from her woman’s intuition.

Although she could not defeat Yu Qingtan, winning this duel and having Yu Qingtan fall into the hands of the Extreme Path Demon Sect would certainly be interesting. With this thought, Bai Junjun glanced at Yu Qingtan, who was among the spectators, her lips curving into a slight smile.

Tan Suqin, who was originally at the peak of the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, also received a Five-Star Ascension Fruit from Yu Qingtan. After consuming it, she experienced a breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Golden Core the following day.

Tan Suqin and Yu Qingtan had long cleared up their misunderstanding regarding Baili Ya, and had become good friends. Tan Suqin would sometimes visit the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard to exchange insights on the path of the zither with Yu Qingtan, who had even taught Tan Suqin her own Ambush from Ten Sides piece and techniques.
