Chapter 106: Chapter 101: Sea Bottom Water Dragon Chant

After speaking, Yu Wenxing couldn’t help but sigh: “Not only is this person’s cultivation talent extremely high, which is rarely seen in the world. His will and courage in practicing cultivation are also rare in this world.”

“Those seventeen puppets were extremely powerful, ordinary cultivators would fear and avoid them. But this Zhang Haobo is doing the opposite, using them to test his sword.”

“Tch Tch Tch, this man, if he doesn’t fall in the future, will definitely be on the path to greatness!”

Li Fan echoed: “What Brother Yu Wen said is absolutely correct!”

After a long while, there came no messages from the other side. Obviously, Yu Wenxing was spreading the news to others again.

“Twenty-four Ocean Command Swords which can only be condensed in the Foundation Establishment Phase, Zhang Haobo has actually been able to do it immediately after entering the Energy Refining Phase.”

“Is he particularly suited for these techniques? Or is there some other reason?

“Interesting…”

Being in the mood, Li Fan immediately got up and prepared to go to Tianyang Cave Mansion to see what was happening.

Tianyang Cave Mansion was located in the western waters of Misthaven Ocean, inside a dormant undersea volcano.

Ever since the previous volcanic eruption, the Tianyang Cave Mansion appeared.

The nearby undersea fire veins started becoming more active.

Along the way, Li Fan occasionally saw groups of three or five Energy Refining Cultivators traveling together.

They were excited, and in their conversations, they couldn’t stop talking about that Zhang Haobo who was currently testing his sword.

From their conversations, it seemed that Zhang Haobo could now hold on for almost the time it took to brew tea when facing those seventeen Mechanism Puppets.

Quite a few people took advantage of the time when Zhang Haobo was attracting the puppets’ firepower to secretly slip into the cave mansion, trying to seek opportunities.

But the time it took to brew a tea was too short, they had not discovered anything before Zhang Haobo was unable to resist any longer and retreated from the cave mansion.

As a result, these people became the venting objects for the increasingly enraged puppets and died in horrible ways.

However, there was news that through this continuous sword testing, Zhang Haobo was making rapid progress.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he breaks through to the Mid Stage of Energy Refining.

By then, his strength is bound to make a leap and he will be able to restrain the puppets for a longer time.

Others will certainly be able to take advantage and enter the cave mansion to explore opportunities.

As for Zhang Haobo, he didn’t seem to care much about this behavior and didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

All he did was repeat the boring cycle of rest, sword testing, and rest.

Therefore, there are more and more cultivators taking advantage of the situation.

Of course, there were also those who were simply amazed by Zhang Haobo single-handily battling seventeen Puppets and came here to witness his prowess.

It didn’t take long for Li Fan to arrive at the ocean area where Tianyang Cave Mansion was located.

Due to the active terrestrial flame, the temperature of the seawater here was noticeably higher than other places.

There were many dead fish floating on the sea surface, and this was already the result after one round of cleaning.

Fortunately, Li Fan was prepared before coming, and after activating the Invisible Talisman and Fire Bath Talisman, he dived into the sea.

The deeper he went, the higher the temperature of the seawater.

When he was near the seabed, the seawater was near boiling point.

Inside an undersea volcanic vent, hot magma continually gushed out accompanied by billowing white smoke.

When the magma met the sea, it quickly cooled down and formed black rocks, accumulating and spreading outward.

Around the volcanic opening, many cultivators were gathered.

They were indifferent to the boiling seawater and didn’t care about the striking scene of the submarine volcano eruption.

All their attention was focused on Zhang Haobo, who was meditating with his eyes closed nearby.

After Li Fan approached, he overheard their low discussions.

“Just after he reached the Mid Stage of Energy Refining, it doesn’t seem like he can hold on much longer than before?”

“What do you know, didn’t you see his strength of the moves is almost the same as when he was at the Early Stage of Energy Refining? He is clearly still adapting to the power increase after the breakthrough.”

“Right, I believe he will definitely be able to hold out for two tea brewing times this time!”

Among the discussions of the crowd, Zhang Haobo opened his eyes and suddenly stood up.

With a calm expression, he plunged into the volcano.

The crowd of spectators did not follow him in.

Only a water screen in the center lit up, revealing the scene inside the cave mansion.

The seventeen puppets seemed not to be simple inanimate objects.

After being provoked by Zhang Haobo several times, they had already anticipated his return and had set an ambush at the entrance of the cave mansion in advance.

As soon as he entered, they launched an attack immediately.

Zhang Haobo calmly raised twenty-four azure water swords to protect his sides, blocking each attack from the puppets.

He himself leaped through the gaps between the puppets, moving non-stop.

In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the blockade and reached outside the puppet encirclement.

He then flew up and hung in mid-air.

“Huh? What does he want to do?”

“Not just defense? Is he planning to fight back?”

In the crowd’s exclamation, Zhang Haobo looked at the puppets below, his gaze intense, and formed a hand seal.

Instantly, the twenty-four water swords increased their speed manifold.

Like a violent storm, they relentlessly struck down on the mechanism puppets.

The water swords danced like spirits, creating countless illusions. At first glance, a crisscross of blue shadows seemed to be hundreds, if not thousands, of water swords appearing at the same time.

The bodies of the mechanism puppets were extremely tough. The water swords’ impact left not even a faint white trace on them, only causing them to pause momentarily.

But just as they recovered from the pause, another attack from the water swords was already upon them.

So, they were stuck in a continual cycle of stiffness.

The attack of the water swords was relentless like a rushing waterfall, causing the mechanism puppets to be cornered into defense.

Zhang Haobo, amazingly, suppressed seventeen puppets on his own!

Outside the cave mansion, the cultivators who saw this scene were completely stunned and deeply shaken.

“Is Zhang Haobo really at the mid stage of Energy Refining? What techniques is he practicing? He is so strong!”

“It is said that he started cultivating just over a year ago? Truly a rare genius!”

“Fellow Daoists, let’s charge now. I think these puppets are already on the back foot. Now is our great opportunity to explore the cave mansion!”

In the crowd, an unknown person suddenly incited the others.

This suggestion seemed very reasonable, and many began to stir restlessly.

Just then, a rather burly man shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. It’s true that Zhang Daoist’s technique this time is incredibly formidable. Unfortunately, it must consume a lot of energy and it’s hard to sustain. I’m afraid this time he won’t last as long as before.”

This comment made the crowd pause, and atter contemplating a moment, they all slow nodded in agreement.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was looking at Zhang Haobo on the water screen with a slight frown.

He could clearly recognise the move Zhang Haobo had just used, which was a deadly technique from “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”.

“Water Dragon Chant”.

The sword danced like a dragon, unrestrained and capricious. Its attack range was wide, the frequency of the sword was fast, and the destructive power was strong.

Indeed, it was formidable.upda@te by new novel. 0r g

However, it required a tremendous consumption of spiritual power to support and generally only someone in the Foundation Establishment Phase could perform it.

Although Baili Chen, who had previously been in the mid stage of Energy Refining and practiced the complete version of “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”, couldn’t use this technique.

What puzzled Li Fan was that Zhang Haobo, despite his superior talents compared to Baili Chen, was only in the mid stage of Energy Refining after all.

This “Water Dragon Chant” couldn’t possibly last very long.

However, judging from Zhang Haobo’s confident manner, he seemed not at all worried about an insufficient supply of spiritual energy.

Why was this so?
