Chapter 535: Five hundred thirty-five, who is really stronger?

Every Meridian Technique and Meridian Array in the world is mostly created by generations of powerful beings who’ve exhausted countless efforts. The remaining proportion also requires cultivation to an extremely high realm and vast knowledge to be innovated.

A mature Cultivation Technique or Meridian Technique is generally impossible to alter, for once changed, the route of Meridian Qi flow will also change, leading to going berserk if cultivated lightly, or death if severe.

Yet at this moment, many elders of the Jade Pot Sect watching Yun Xiao’s fluid performance in the arena all had the same notion—that the improved Small Golden Light Pulse Array was definitely more powerful than before.

"It seems our Jade Pot Sect has produced an extraordinary individual!"

This was the most genuine thought of Elder Lu Zhan and other Medical Pulse lineage elders. In fact, compared to Yun Xiao’s personal combat prowess and cultivation talent, his ability to improve Meridian Techniques and Arrays might be of greater assistance to the sect, right?

"Elder Four, I heard that the Lightless Seal cultivated by your disciple Chang Qing seems to be more powerful than what others have cultivated?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Yu Shu suddenly turned his head and asked Li Shan. In fact, he had long heard about it but only paid attention to it because of Yun Xiao’s improvement of the Small Golden Light Pulse Array.

"Yes, Sect Master, and I heard from Chang Qing that he failed to succeed in cultivating the Lightless Seal for a long time. It was Yun Xiao’s guidance that led him to success, and its power is indeed much greater than others!"

Li Shan had naturally confirmed this with Chang Qing and even recultivated the Lightless Seal using the circulation route described by Chang Qing. Truly, its infinite usefulness had left him with much to marvel at.

"Hmm!"

Having received the answer he wanted, Yu Shu didn’t ask further but turned his attention back to the arena because the strengthened Small Golden Light Pulse Array being used by Yun Xiao was close to completion.

...

"Where golden light goes, meridians open, burst!"

On the arena, Yun Xiao touched several acupoints on Jin Wuli’s back with lightning speed and then took a slight step back, clenching his hand and giving a low shout, resulting in an instant brilliant golden light erupting from Jin Wuli’s back.

This golden light differed slightly from the self-initiated one by Jin Wuli as it was filled with the strong aura of a Meridian Array, allowing many Meridian Refining Masters in the venue to realize at once that it was a formidable attack-oriented Meridian Array.

Pff!

However, Yun Xiao’s originally invincible Small Golden Light Pulse Array, which was comparable to an Advanced Spiritual Rank Array after improvement, failed to achieve its desired effect, emitting merely a faint noise before dissipating like a bubble.

"What happened?"

The members of the Jade Pot Sect looked at each other in shock. They were just praising the enhanced Small Golden Light Pulse Array for its great power, but now it seemed utterly ineffective.

Even Yun Xiao, who executed the Small Golden Light Pulse Array on the stage, paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, his eyes showed a hint of sudden understanding.

"What’s the matter? Did you see what went wrong?"

Jin Wuli turned around, having noticed the expression on Yun Xiao’s face, he let out a light chuckle and spoke with implied meaning, as if he was confident in the ineffectiveness of Yun Xiao’s Small Golden Light Pulse Array.

"Indeed, I forgot you are a Strange Spirit. Although I don’t know how you managed to deceive Vice Chairman Qian, the acupoints on your body are bound to be drastically different from humans!"

Yun Xiao didn’t get angry but simply nodded and explained. He had already discovered the issue, and all of it boiled down to the fact that Jin Wuli before him was a Strange Spirit.

A Meridian Array needs the connections of a human’s meridians, along with those key acupoints serving as nodes, to unleash its full power, be it to injure the enemy or heal and save people.

But the acupoints Yun Xiao touched just now, while seemingly precise and definitely effective on a normal human, were unfortunately used on the wrong subject.

As Yun Xiao said, Jin Wuli’s tricks were cunning, having deceived even Qian Sanyuan, an Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master. However, if it really was a Strange Spirit, his fluid acupoint touches were a huge joke.

"I have to say, your speed is indeed surprising, but that’s all!"

Jin Wuli didn’t care about Yun Xiao’s thoughts. In fact, just now, when his Golden Blade slash failed to hit, it was instead used by Yun Xiao to seize the opportunity. If not for his unique body, he might have lost instantly.

Jin Wuli, extremely confident in himself, thus began to truly take Yun Xiao seriously, thinking that if he wasn’t as lucky next time, he might capsize in the gutter.

Huff... Huff...

As Jin Wuli’s words fell, a faint golden Meridian Qi began to surge around him. However, everyone, including Yun Xiao, could clearly see that this Meridian Qi, while flickering, formed numerous golden knives mere inches long.

This was somewhat similar to Xuan Jiuding’s Moon Dance performed the day before, yet both their shapes and colors differed, and even the aura emitted was vastly distinct.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

As these golden flying knives took shape, they whirled towards Yun Xiao, covering the sky. Everyone speculated that if Yun Xiao didn’t dodge, he would probably be pierced into a hornet’s nest by this barrage of golden knives.

Ding ding ding...

And at this critical moment, unbeknownst to anyone, a small golden shield had appeared in front of Yun Xiao. The first knives to strike were deflected by this shield, scattering in all directions.

The people from Jade Pot Sect were not too unfamiliar with this pale golden shield, as Yun Xiao had used it before in the Spiritual Chick Battle List—they knew it was probably a defensive technique of the Earth Rank level.

However, even though the pale golden shield’s defense was strong, its size was too small to entirely envelop Yun Xiao’s body.

Swoosh!

Just when the people from Jade Pot Sect were slightly worried, Yun Xiao, who was on the stage, stretched out his hand and pulled horizontally and vertically across the pale golden shield.

In the next moment, the shield that had originally been only a few feet long suddenly expanded to ten feet in length and eight feet in width, completely protecting Yun Xiao’s slender figure behind it.

Ding ding ding...

Ding ding ding...

Ding ding ding...

A series of sounds rang out, and it seemed like everyone could see the sparks that were splashing as the golden blades impacted the large golden shield, which hinted at the force’s immensity.

But no matter how strong the force of these golden flying knives was, or how many there were, they ultimately couldn’t turn around to attack from behind Yun Xiao; they were all blocked by the large golden shield.

"Eh?"

Some sharp-eyed people suddenly noticed something unusual—that behind the broken large golden shield, Yun Xiao had disappeared without a trace.

This was something that those in front of the golden shield, including Jin Wuli, could not see. Jin Wuli was very confident in his golden flying knives and believed that the golden shield wouldn’t last much longer.

Crack!

At a certain moment, a flash of golden light appeared in Jin Wuli’s eyes because he noticed that after a flying knife struck the golden shield, a fine crack had finally appeared on it.

Although the crack was slight, it seemed to herald the arrival of a certain outcome. In just a moment, under the bombardment of countless golden flying knives, the golden shield finally could not hold on and burst apart with a loud bang.

Whoosh!

Amidst the scattering of golden light shards, Jin Wuli’s face, initially filled with pride, suddenly stiffened. At that moment, he finally saw that behind the shattered golden shield, there was no trace of Yun Xiao to be found.

"Not good!"

A sense of unease rose from the bottom of Jin Wuli’s heart, followed by a sensation of an overwhelming force sweeping towards him, prompting him to subconsciously raise his arms to protect his face.

Through the gap in his arms, Jin Wuli was astonished to see Yun Xiao, who had somehow closed the distance, his right leg raised high and chopping down, the immense energy within seemingly a little different from their previous clash.

But Jin Wuli wasn’t too worried, having tested Yun Xiao’s physical strength before—he believed that even if this leg were a bit stronger, it wouldn’t harm him in the slightest.

What Jin Wuli didn’t know was that although Yun Xiao’s body was strong, his right leg was his strongest asset since it contained an Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein.

The Earth attribute corresponds to strength; with the boost of the Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein, the power that Yun Xiao could unleash with his right leg was probably more than double that of other parts.

Bang!

The savage force poured onto Jin Wuli’s arms, and in the next moment, everyone was shocked to see that Jin Wuli, who had just been evenly matched in physical strength with Yun Xiao, was directly blown back several meters by that leg and teetered as if he barely managed to stabilize himself.

"How can this kick be so powerful?"

Everyone was utterly astonished. They originally thought that the two were evenly matched in physical strength, but Yun Xiao’s powerful kick had now completely shattered that notion. It appeared that, in terms of physical strength alone, the shabbily dressed young man was stronger by a notch.

Jin Wuli, who had been blown back several meters, looked quite embarrassed. Given his unique status, he had never lost to anyone in terms of physical strength within the same level. Now that he had been blown so far back, how could he swallow this indignity?

However, sensing the numbness in his arms and the tumultuous surge of inner Qi in his body, Jin Wuli had to admit that Yun Xiao’s kick was something he could not match. It seemed if he wanted to defeat this opponent, he needed to think of another method.

Swoosh!

But would Yun Xiao give him that chance? While Jin Wuli was slightly stunned, Yun Xiao’s figure was already moving like a shadow, initiating a new round of attacks abruptly.
