238 Oblivious Mei

Mei looked at the young man in front of her and could already feel a slight pressure exuding off of him. Mei cupped her hands and bowed while the young man did the same. No words were spoken. Mainly because Mei figured even if she did say something the young man in front of her would not say a word. This young man's name was Long Xuefeng and was the strongest of the stage one qi gathering cultivators in the sect. He was known to also be able to fight on even ground with stage five qi gathering cultivators.

Elder Dan looked at the two competitors. Seeing that they were both ready she shouted: "Begin!"

Long Xuefeng wasted no time as she shot forward and released his spirit pressure. To him, Mei was just a little fourth stage body refinement realmed cultivator. He wanted nothing more than to advance to become an inner sect disciple. Because of this, he was going all out right at the start.

Mei felt a heavy pressure weighing down on her but she still stood firm. This kind of pressure was nothing compared to the weights she was forced to wear when training in Phantasia. Long Xuefeng frowned seeing how Mei was unaffected by his spirit pressure. Because of this he stopped his charge and backed off. "Humph! To think you can withstand my spirit pressure with your cultivation."

Mei cocked her head to the side wondering why Long Xuefeng all of a sudden became cocky. Not knowing how to answer Mei said: "Let's just say I have worn heavy weights that apply more pressure to my body than what your spirit pressure was able to do."

Long Xuefengs face turned ugly! "You dare mock me!?"

Mei was suddenly confused. 'How did I mock him!? I only told the truth!' "I have no idea why you say that I am mocking you. I was just telling you the truth."

Mei's confused innocent expression made all the disciples watching laugh. Mei had no idea that her every word was basically slapping Long Xuefeng's face. Just by saying she had worn weights on her body that gave more pressure than Long Xuefeng could dish out. She was basically saying that Long Xuefeng's spirit pressure was weaker than a clump of rocks. This infuriated Long Xuefeng even more!

Bai Hong who was at the side couldn't help but chuckle at the innocent expression on his disciple's face. She really had no idea how insulting her words were! Mei decided to ignore the look on Long Xuefeng's face that basically read I will kill you here and now. Instead, she stepped forward and thrust her sword out. A blade of wind shot forth straight at Long Xuefeng who did not dodge instead he stood ready with his sword out in front of him, taking the attack head on. But when the blade of wind hit his sword Long Xuefeng realized how powerful her attack actually was. The blade of wind paid no mind to the sword trying to block it and wrapped right around it smashing into Long Xuefeng. His body turned into a kite as it flew back and smashed into the battle stage before sliding to a stop right at the age of the stage.

Mei did not stop there, she took a second and third step while thrusting out her sword, sending two more blades of wind at Long Xuefeng. She did not aim for his body but the ground around the stage. When the blades of wind hit the stage, it caused a small explosion on impact that sent dust and debris into the air. Long Xuefeng who was in front of the attack was blown clear off the battle stage and on to the ground.

Mei stood tall upon the stage. She had only taken three steps the entire fight. She had defeated the number one, stage one qi gathering disciple in the sect, with only the cultivation of a fourth stage body refinement realm. The crowd was silent for a while until suddenly they burst out in cheers, On this day Mei had already made a name for herself within the sect.

"Haha! She truly is a little monster. Three moves! Three moves and she won the battle. On top of that, she did it in a way that did not hurt the disciple too much. I have decided! Old Bai, later on, I will drop off the starlight elixir. I was going to use it to break through to soul formation but this child… This child will benefit greatly from it." Sect Master Li said happily. His eyes glowed just looking at Mei.

Bai Hong looked at the sect master, his eyes wide open. Starlight elixir!? Only a few knew that this was a very rare elixir that had two uses. One was strengthening and expanding the meridians and dantian. While the other was to help someone breakthrough. If a gathering disciple were to take this elixir they could easily go from stage one to stage nine qi gathering! The best part about this elixir was that it had no adverse effects on the body! Whereas other elixirs would leave some toxins inside the body which were hard to get rid of! Bai Hong immediately cupped his hands and bowed his head. "This old man is truly grateful."

"Think nothing of it. Our Soaring Cloud Sect will go far in the future with this young lady! Hah! I can not wait until the sect tournament in two years' time! Just seeing the look on those old men's faces as their sect disciples all get thrashed by our little monster makes it worth giving up the starlight elixir to her."
