Chapter 1845 It Appears a Talent Is Emerging in Wulin!

“Yes, I won.”

Facing Elder Yuan’s inquiry, Fang Qiu was stunned at first. Then he took a deep breath and said, “No accidents occurred. And I still have a little internal Qi. It should be enough to support me to fly back to the back mountain.”

When the three elders heard Fang Qiu’s words…

They were all startled.

John Doe ended the battle two minutes in advance and didn’t use up his internal Qi.

How was it possible?

When the three elders were in shock…

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Frankly, I was just dealing with a target. I’ve figured out his fighting methods and tricks through the previous two battles. So, it is increasingly easier for me to deal with the shadow in the Mysterious Realm, even if its attacking methods and tricks are not fixed.”

The three elders nodded.

This process was just like writing.

When a strange word first appeared, writing every stroke would be strenuous. The second time it was written, people may need to glance at it a few times before writing by themselves. But the third time, it would be much easier to finish writing the entire word.

Now it looked like…

The meaning of the practice in Mysterious Realm had been changed. The outcome of the battle between John Doe and Nirvana Saint Lord was no longer important. Instead, it became the reference for John Doe to know how much he had improved.

Though he didn’t make much progress each time, it was good enough to make continuous improvements.

After all…

As a top-level expert, John Doe couldn’t find such a well-matched opponent to improve his strength after leaving the Sword Sect.

They returned the same way they came.

Of course…

Because Fang Qiu still had some internal Qi, he dragged his exhausted body and returned to the back mountain without the three elders’ help.

“You look much better than before.”

As soon as he stopped, Elder Qian said, “We will try to arrange the next practice in the Mysterious Realm in three days.”

“Thanks.”

Fang Qiu nodded to express his gratitude and added, “If possible, two days are enough.”

“Oh?”

The three elders were shocked.

Little did they know that John Doe could even shorten the recovery by one day.

On the spot, they nodded in agreement.

After all, mysterious jade stones were needed to open the Mysterious Realm. Even Sword Sect only had a few such large mysterious jade stones. They needed to get some from other places.

They had just decided to mobilize resources for John Doe’s practice in the Mysterious Realm. As a result, the order about this decision had not been issued yet.

It now seemed that…

He had to accelerate.

…

In the north of Huaxia…

A desolate jungle was about hundreds of kilometers away. It was separated from Qinghai Lake by two huge mountain ranges.

In a valley of the jungle, a young man was sitting cross-legged with a blade of grass hanging from his mouth. He was practicing on the neatly trimmed crown of a big tree.

With a closer look…

This man was Qingshan. After he came out of the mountains, he defeated almost all the masters in Wulin only to fight with John Doe. But in the end, he suffered a crushing defeat!

In the deepest part of the valley, there was a lofty mountain. On its top…

A thin but very energetic old man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the young man in the valley from a distance.

This elder…

He was Qingshan’s master who had met John Doe several times!

“What a surprise.”

Looking at Qingshan, the old man took a deep breath and sighed with emotion, “After so many years, they finally found a chance.”

Apparently…

He couldn’t refrain from smiling slightly with excitement.

Not long ago…

He received a piece of news that shocked and excited him.

In Sword Sect’s forbidden area, John Doe defeated Nirvana Sword Sect’s shadow!

When the news came to him…

He was beside himself with joy.

Over the years, he had been paying attention to the geniuses in Wulin. Like others, he wanted to see if a genius who could rival Nirvana Saint Lord would emerge in Wulin.

Just because of that…

He accepted disciples and noticed John Doe.

Surprisingly…

Such a talent appeared.

In Wulin, a genius who stood a chance to defeat Nirvana Saint Lord’s shadow was discovered.

And he was that person’s disciple!

In excitement, the old man saw Qingshan sitting cross-legged on the crown of the big tree in the valley. Secretly, he opened one eye and turned it to look around. When he found the old man, he immediately closed his eyes tightly.

“Alas…”

Seeing this, he couldn’t help smiling wryly and said with emotion, “As expected, Xu Qin, the smartest one with numerous artful tricks, got a great disciple.”

“This old guy has always been mysterious. I didn’t expect him to find the right person.”

With this…

The old man couldn’t help shaking his head.

Looking at his mischief disciple Qingshan, he couldn’t help rolling his eyes in disdain.

“Although they have found him, it will still take some time for John Doe to grow. But could he meet the requirements before Nirvana Saint Lord takes action?”

At this thought…

The old man let out a long sigh. Then, raising his eyebrows, he began to nip his right hand’s fingers to make a divine guess.

He made a rough calculation.

“The 15th of this month will be a full moon night.”

“It’s a good opportunity to observe the astronomical phenomena at midnight to foresee the future.”

…

The Sword Sect…

Two days later…

Under the three elders’ command, all the available mysterious jades were transferred to the Sword Sect.

Fang Qiu had been sitting on the top of the back mountain, cultivating and recuperating.

At this time, he finally woke up from his cultivation.

“What about this battle?”

The three elders were standing beside Fang Qiu when he awoke from the cultivation.

“I should strive for further improvement.”

Fang Qiu stood up with a smile and said.

“Great.”

With a nod, Elder Qian smiled and said, “Your aura looks slightly better than before. Maybe this is a shortcut for you.”

“It’s a hard-earned shortcut.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said.

“Let’s go.”

Elder Qian nodded and said.

Afterward…

They stepped out and flew toward the forbidden area in the Mysterious Realm.

Again, they came to the Mysterious Realm’s gate.

Without any hesitation, Fang Qiu went straight in.

Aside…

The three elders waited outside.

“How much progress do you think John Doe can make this time?”

Elder Qian asked.

“I bet he will come out one minute earlier than before.”

Elder Yuan immediately said, “The battle time has been shortened a lot. It will be increasingly difficult for you to improve your strength through such exercises. Last time, he came out two minutes earlier. It’s good enough to get out one more minute earlier this time.”

“What do you think?”

Elder Qian looked at Elder Qu.

“Two minutes…”

Elder Qu gave a direct answer without any extra words.

“What’s your opinion?”

Elder Yuan asked Elder Qian.

“I think the same as Old Qu.”

Elder Qian said with a smile, “He is the only possibility we have found over the past century. Since this chance has fallen onto him, he deserves more.”

“I hope you’re right.”

Elder Yuan nodded and said.

Three minutes…

Five minutes…

Then minutes…

When 10.1 seconds passed…

“Swoosh.”

Before them, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air at the cave entrance.

“Boom!”

In the basketball-sized hole on the cave’s side, a mysterious white jade as big as two fists exploded, turning into a pile of powder.

When the three elders saw this scene…

They knew John Doe had won again!

The mysterious white jade of energy would shatter only when John Doe defeated the Mysterious Realm’s shadow and won.

“About three minutes?”

Elder Yuan looked at John Doe’s back, his eyes full of shock — he could hardly believe what he had seen.

“So fast?”

Elder Qu was astonished as well.

“Only a genius comparable to Nirvana Saint Lord could make such an impressive accomplishment!”

Elder Qian was also amazed.

Such a result never came across their minds. John Doe ended the Mysterious Realm’s test three minutes earlier than last time. Such an improvement was terrifying.

Meanwhile…

In a mysterious place…

A middle-aged man, his eyes closed, was sitting on a black-red chair with precious jewels. He sat there perfectly still for a long time as if he had been petrified. Suddenly, he moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

With a closer look…

Under the steady candlelight, a black monster baring its fangs and brandishing its claws could be seen roaring in his eyes.

It wasn’t a reflection!

“Interesting.”

As if sensing something, the middle-aged man slowly stood up. An ancient aura slowly spread out from him.

“My young version was defeated?”

He cracked a smile.

He was Nirvana Saint Lord. The Wulin people called the man “Duan” a century ago.

More than a hundred years ago…

When he had only achieved the Two-Flower Core Formation, a Sword Sect elder blocked him.

Back then…

He seriously wounded the elder.

However, he clearly perceived that the elder had copied him.

Back then, all the masters in Wulin knew the Sword Sect had a treasure book that could copy anything in the world.

Though he sensed it…

He didn’t stop the elder. Instead, he turned this trick to his use.

Instead of killing the Sword Sect elder, he let him go back.

His purpose was that…

He wanted to see who would defeat his young version.

He had never felt this way in the past century.

But now…

He sensed it very clearly.

The young version of him they copied was defeated!

“An authentic talent seems to have appeared in the Wulin short of competitive personnel.”

The middle-aged man muttered to himself.

He ordered, “Go and find out who it is!”

Outside the door…

“Yes!”

In the darkness outside, a person had been sitting cross-legged motionlessly. Hearing the middle-aged man’s order, he instantly got to his feet. He stopped for a second and vanished on the spot.

“The No. 1 Guardian is enough to deal with the person who defeated my young version!”

As the middle-aged man said this…

He sat down again and closed his eyes.

Everything returned to calm.

…

The moon was full at midnight on the 15th day of the month.

In the middle of the valley lay a boundless forest.

A lean old man stood in the valley center with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky to observe the stars!

Under his feet…

Wisps of silver energy surged out of his body. Like wriggling earthworms and flexible needles, they rushed merrily in all directions.

In just a few minutes, they covered the entire valley.

If anyone looked down from above…

He would find that this well-managed valley seemed to be a grand formation!

The grand formation started running.

An exceptionally special energy entered the old man, passed through him, and finally gathered in his eyes!
