The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?-Chapter 55 53- Overbearing Ling Tian… Ordinary-Looking Wooden Sword

Under the stupefied expressions of the crowd, Ling Xia snorted before she began walking off the stage. But before leaping off, she suddenly turn around and glared at Yang Su before saying, “This isn’t over between us. I’m definitely going to pay you back for that punch.”

Ling Xia rub her slightly bruised cheek as she said that, before she turn and leaped off the stage, leaving the area in a flash.

Yang Su had wanted to open his mouth and apologize, because he had no idea she was a girl. If he had known, he wouldn’t have made that strike to her face.

Remembering that Yang Su had punched Ling Xia, Xi Shen suddenly frowned before looking up at Ling Tian’s projection.

‘Surely he wouldn't be angry about that.’

However, Xi Shen's thoughts go unheard and his expression turned ugly when he heard Ling Tian's next word.

“You lowly worm dare lay a hand on my sister? You must want me to skin you alive.”

As soon as those words were uttered by his projection, a large translucent palm formed above the stage.

While releasing an insurmountable pressure that caused the void to tremble, the palm began to fall towards Yang Su who had on a shocked expression.

“S-senior brother Ling Tian aren’t you being rather unreasonable?!”

Yang Su stuttered out while the pressure from the palm push down on his shoulder, which was causing his knees to bend.

Ling Tian snorted before saying, “Whether I’m being unreasonable or not, I’ll still make you regret putting your hands on my little sister.”

With that, the palm got bigger and the pressure on Yang Su’s shoulder increased. With a thud, his right knee landed on the stage. Half kneeling now, Yang Su gritted his teeth, while anger began to rise in his heart at how unnecessarily overbearing this Ling Tian was acting.

While everyone was watching on at this scene with shocked expressions, Yang Su began remembering the conversation he had with Xi Shen during his training a few days ago.

“Yang Su, I want you to start acting more strong-willed. In the cultivation world if you show your weakness then you’ll just invite people to walk all over you. And don’t worry about offending anyone, with me as your backing no one would dare to openly show hostility towards you. However, in case you meet someone who does, you have my permission to fight back unrestrained.”

While those words from Xi Shen echoed in his mind, Yang Su slowly began to rise despite the heavy pressure coming from the palm.

His gaze then lifted towards the sky, and within his eyes, a light so bright that it could illuminate the darkest of night began to shine from them.

Slowly, Yang Su’s hair that was tied up into a ponytail had flames from his Fire Qi dancing around it. So did his eyebrows, and soon, enough his entire body burst into searing hot flames that radiate extreme heat everywhere.

The string that tied Yang Su’s ponytail was burnt to ash, and this caused his hair along with his robes to start flapping around uncontrollably as he released the full brunt of his cultivation base.

Seeing this display from Yang Su, a smile appeared on Xi Shen’s face, and he couldn’t help but nod a few times in approval. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

The experts who were still around were all looking at Yang Su with surprised expressions. They quickly sensed his cultivation base to be at the Meridian Opening Realm, but like Shiming before, his aura was similar to someone in the Sea Expansion Realm.

But unlike Shiming, Yang Su’s strength seemed to be stronger than a regular Sea Expansion Realm cultivator that had broken through with 9 meridians. It felt like a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator that had broken into the Sea Expansion Realm from the Second or even the Third Phase!

They found this completely preposterous!

And it wasn’t only them, even the disciples who had long retreated from the stage was watching Yang Su’s figure, that was bathed in Fire Qi, with complete shock and horror.

The reaction of Ling Tian's projection within the clouds, however, was a complete contrast to everyone else. He only looked down at Yang Su with an indifferent expression, before the palm got even bigger, and the power coming from it felt like an attack that was being carried out by someone in the Sea Expansion Realm!

While his Fire Qi flowed from his eyes as he looked up at the palm, Yang Su used both his hands to form several hand seals, after which he pushed out his arms to the side of him.

Immediately after that the Fire Qi within a fifty meters radius seemed to heed his call, a call from the Sovereign of Fire and started to charge towards his figure.

The Fire Qi then started to coalesce into a sixty-meter large Divine Fire Serpent.

As this Divine Fire Serpent quickly forms, it began wrapping itself around Yang Su protectively, while its massive head stared up at the palm falling from the sky.

“ROAR!!!”

The Divine Fire Serpent then let out a deafening roar that caused all the disciple’s ears to start ringing and the stage to tremble. At this time the palm came down onto the Divine Serpent and Yang Su who was inside, fulling intent on crushing the both of them.

The Divine Serpent Slammed against the massive translucent palm with its head to fight back against it, however, the strength of the palm was overwhelming and the head of the Divine Fire Serpent quickly shattered upon impact, following it was its body as the palm continued to fall.

Yang Su who saw this formed several more hand seals and conjure two more Divine Serpents but this time they were a bit smaller around thirty meters large.

They two slammed against the incoming palm, but they didn’t stand a chance against Ling Tian's almighty palm and it shattered them effortlessly.

Ling Tian snorted once again before he said, “What’s the use? Just accept your punishment. I won’t kill you, but for hitting my sister I’ll definitely cripple your cultivation base so you’ll forever live to regret your actions.”

When everyone heard Ling Tian’s plan, their mouth dropped open and thoughts of how that was a bit too much began to form in their minds. After all, Yang Su and Ling Xia were competing in a match that they had both agreed to.

For Ling Tian to come now and want to cripple Yang Su’s cultivation base because he had hit her during the match, seemed completely ridiculous and way too overbearing.

Xi Shen who was only looking on calmly, couldn’t help but sit up in his chair when he heard Ling Tian’s intentions.

“This bastard, is he trying to send a message to me? Does he think I’ll let him?”

Upon saying that, Xi Shen waved his finger in the direction of the stage while thinking in his heart, ‘Yang Su you imbecile, do you think I would just be carrying a useless wooden sword in my storage ring?

On the stage, as soon as Xi Shen wave his finger, Yang Su suddenly looked down at the white storage ring Ye Fei had gifted to him.

Sending his partially developed Soul Sense into the ring his expression suddenly changed to complete incredulity at what he saw.

His gaze then turn to where Xi Shen’s pavilion was, before turning back to look at his ring.

With slight hesitation, he released the item that was struggling to get out. As soon as he did, a blinding golden light burst out from his ring and shot towards the approaching palm.

In a split second that golden light left a brilliant streak in the air, as it severed the massive palm in two before appearing in front of Ling Tian’s face projection.

“W-what?!! You...”

Before Ling Tian’s projection could finish his words, the golden sword slash down at his face, showing not one ounce of respect as it clean cut through its cloud form, destroying its structure.

The clouds then scattered outward, causing the once-obscure afternoon sun to be revealed.

Under this sunlight, the wooden sword that was giving off an even more dazzling golden glow swiftly turned around and pierced the void to appear in front of Yang Su, who opened his palms and allowed the wooden sword to slowly land on them.

Everyone in the venue at this moment was completely silent, not one peep was heard as all eyes landed on the ordinary-looking wooden sword.

“Yang Su!”

Xi Shen's voice could be heard coming from below the stage. Turning to look at his elder brother, Yang Su then heard Xi Shen saying again, “Let’s go, I’m feeling for a cup of wine!”

After throwing out those words, Xi Shen walked through the parted crowd with hands behind his back and headed for the mountain’s exit/entrance.

Yang Su being the loyal follower he was, immediately began leaving the stage to follow Xi Shen after carefully placing back the wooden sword he had carelessly been handling up till now, back into his storage ring.

However, just as he was about to leap off the stage, he suddenly heard the elder’s voice calling him, “Hey young man!”

Yang Su turned around just in time to catch a small pouch the elder had thrown towards him.

Slightly confused, Yang Su sent his Soul Sense to scan the contents of the storage bag to see the first place prizes inside. He could then hear the elder saying, “Congratulations on placing first.”

Bai Xiaofung who was in the crowd sporting a shocked expression at the events he had just witnessed, immediately snapped his head towards the bag in Yang Su’s hands, eyes shining with desire.

After bowing towards the elder politely, Yang Su hurriedly catch up to Xi Shen who was already at the stairs leading down the mountain.
