Sovereign to Immortality

High-grade magic tool, this Shi Jiu Tong actually took out a high-grade magic tool!    

    

Although the surrounding villagers of the two villages didn't know what was happening in the training hall, the Martial Disciples who were watching the fight were able to see everything clearly. The bead that Shi Jiu Tong had taken out was a high-grade magic tool, and it was precisely because of this high-grade magic tool that he blocked Yang Tian's smoke pot, which was also a high-grade magic tool.    

    

However, he quickly calmed himself down. Although he had received Yang Tian's attack, the moment the two magic tools clashed, Shi Jiu Tong could truly feel Yang Tian's current cultivation. He was at the peak of the third level of the Martial Saint Realm!    

    

In his opinion, even if Shi Jiu Tong advanced to the third level of the Martial Disciple Stage, but in the past two years, with the support of sufficient cultivation resources, Yang Tian had just advanced to the peak of the third level. That Shi Jiu Tong was still not his match, but he never would have thought that Shi Jiu Tong would actually use a high-grade magic tool!    

    

No one knew more about the difficulty of obtaining a high-grade magic tool than Yang Tian. Back then, to obtain this high-grade magic tool in his hands, Yang Tian had disturbed almost all the relationships he had before he left the Green Stone Town, and had even sold more than half of the cultivation resources he had accumulated over the years. This included a low-grade magic tool refined with the help of his father, Yang Lie.    

    

Naturally, Shi Jiu Tong could not compare to Yang Tian, who could still borrow the Yang family's power from the Green Stone Town. Therefore, the high-grade magic tools in his hands were naturally not owned by him.    

    

In fact, Song Wei, who was watching the fight from the side, suddenly turned to Xiong Jingzhong and asked: "I heard that the Xiong Family has a powerful heritage. There are two Totems, five High Grade Equipment, nine Middle Grade Equipment, and even twenty Low Grade Equipment, of which one is called the 'Ironcloud Pearl'. It should be this one, right?"    

    

When Shi Jiu Tong used it, even if others did not recognize it, they would at least be certain that it came from the Xiong Family. What was truly shocking was that Song Wei's control over the quantity of Xiong Family's magic tools had already reached such a degree!    

    

He knew that this was Song Wei's warning to the Xiong Family behind him. However, Xiong Chi still felt chills in his heart, as if everything in the Xiong Family was transparent in the eyes of Song Wei and Adept Chen Ji who was behind him.    

    

Song Wei saw the change in Xiong Jingzhong's expression and knew that his warning had achieved his goal, so he turned his gaze towards the arena again.    

    

The appearance of the two high-grade magic tools pushed the strength of the two villagers to the limit. Although Yang Tian had held the upper hand in cultivation, the Ironcloud Pearl was clearly more compatible with Shi Jiu Tong's skills. As a result, the scene looked like Yang Tian was attacking while Shi Jiu was guarding.    

    

The quality of the smoke pot in Yang Tian Gang's hands could only be considered average amongst the high-grade magic tools. Moreover, this magic tool was more biased towards the fire attribute, and did not really fit Yang Tian's Earth-Shrouding Spirit Art.    

    

While the two fought, although Shi Jiu Tong was constantly guarding, he was quietly accumulating his energy during the fight. At the beginning, he could not see it, but as the two fought on, Shi Jiu Tong's aura became more and more imposing, as if he was preparing for a counterattack.    

    

However, Yang Tian did not seem to see it at all. A series of high grade magic techniques exploded out from his magic tools and were blocked by Shi Jiu Tong one by one. He was determined to use his deep cultivation base to fight Shi Jiu Tong.    

    

"This Shi Jiu Tong is obviously gathering his potential. What is this Yang Tian thinking? Can't he see that once Shi Jiu Tong erupts, his counterattack will be extremely fierce?"    

    

Yu Zelin did not understand and could not help but ask Ning Changchun who was beside him.    

    

This Ning Changchun seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. He only said, "Who knows? Maybe before Shi Jiu Tong managed to gather his energy, he ran out of spirit essence under Yang Tian Gang's continuous attacks. After all, Shi Jiu Tong's cultivation level was not as high as Yang Tian Gang's, not to mention that Yang Tian Gang's son had fought with him a few times before, so he used up some of Shi Jiu Tong's spirit essence."    

    

Yu Zelin shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The feeling this Yang Tian gives others is very calm. Honestly speaking, if I were to choose a suitable village, I would prefer him. It's impossible for this Yang Tian to not see through it."    

    

As the two of them were speaking, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Shi Jiu Tong, who was being suppressed by Yang Tian earlier, suddenly exploded, as the Iron-Dawn Bead brought out layers and layers of frost in the air. Each time the two high-grade magic tools crossed paths, waves and waves of cold energy would flow through the smoke pot in an attempt to freeze the spirit essence in Yang Tian's body, and under the continuous onslaught of the cold energy, the rhythm of Yang Tian's continuous attacks would also finally become a little chaotic.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong couldn't wait to grab hold of this slight gap of Yang Tian's attack. The momentum that had been brewing in his body burst out as if it had finally found a outlet. Threads of spirit essence scattered around his body, condensing into balls of light, which instantly filled half of the arena and floated towards Yang Tian.    

    

When Yu Zelin saw the scene, his eyes lit up and he said, "Spirit Arts, so this Shi Jiu Tong also has a spirit arts legacy, but this was his idea. It won't be easy for Yang Tian to solve it!"    

    

As Yu Zelin spoke, he looked left and right, only to discover that Xu Sanniang, who was not far from him, had a pale face and was staring fixedly at the fluttering white Xu Sanniang with an excited expression. Yu Zelin's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that when Xu Sanniang came to the Yu Family to report the location of the Spirit Origin Stage last night, she had mentioned that she had been ambushed along the way.    

    

"Patriarch Xu, have you discovered something amiss?"    

    

Yu Zelin asked in a low voice. However, his intentionally created a tone that attracted the attention of the surrounding Martial Disciples.    

    

At this moment, Xu Sanniang's expression was extremely agitated. She did not realize the intention behind Yu Zelin's words at all. She raised her trembling finger and pointed at Shi Jiu Tong, saying, "It's him, it's him!"    

    

Yu Zelin quickly asked, "Who is it, what happened to him?"    

    

At this moment, Xu Sanniang's face was filled with anger as she viciously said, "It's Shi Jiu Tong. The person who intercepted and killed last night was this Shi Jiu Tong!"    

    

Yu Zelin had a surprised expression on his face, "Patriarch Xu, please don't get the wrong person. Stone Village is trying to kill you midway. Why?"    

    

Xu Sanniang's face was filled with certainty as she said, "That's right, it's him. It's this spirit art, that's the soaring white silk. After attaching it to her body, it's like a suckling insect sucking out blood from a cultivator's body. I was possessed by this white silk and was seriously injured by a sneak attack due to the lack of spirit energy in my body!"    

    

When Xu Sanniang saw the noncommittal expressions on the Martial Disciples' faces, she immediately said loudly, "If you all don't believe that this technique can absorb the opponent's spirit energy, then yes, yes, Shi Jiu Tong must have killed me halfway just to make the village lose a Martial Disciple today. If it wasn't for the main young master of Yang Village breaking through to Martial Disciple, how could I have won this fight?"    

    

Xiong Jingzhong chuckled: "These are just the words of the Xu family head after all. I think it's better to be careful with this matter. Everyone …"    

    

Before Xiong Jingzhong could finish his sentence, a loud shout suddenly came from the field. Everyone looked over and saw that the white light from Shi Jiu Tong's Spiritual Art had forced Yang Tian into a corner.    

    

In the beginning, he could only retreat in the middle of the scene. However, the number of white dots increased and he knew that he had compressed the space that Yang Tian had just dodged, so in the end, under his helplessness, he could only choose to forcefully break through.    

    

However, just as he charged towards Shi Jiu Tong, the surrounding white catkins, like mosquitoes and flies that had smelled blood, started falling towards him. All of the spirit energy around him was sucked dry by the white catkins.    

    

Yang Tian was so shocked that the baleful aura around him surged and crushed the white strands of cloth around him into fine powder. However, these white strands of cloth seemed to be endless as they came one after another.    

    

Yang Tian continued to struggle as he moved closer to Shi Jiu Tong. However, he could feel the spirit essence in his body draining away. His expression changed as he said, "Shi Jiu Tong, what kind of strange magical technique is this?! It can absorb the spirit essence in your body!"    

    

"Haha," Shi Jiu Tong laughed complacently, "Yang Tian Gang, you didn't expect this, right? I have already prepared this spirit art for you for a long time, you will definitely lose to me today!"    

    

At this moment, Xu Sanniang suddenly shouted, "It's him! This is the Art of Absorbing Spiritual Origin. It was this Shi Jiu Tong who tried to kill me last night!"    

    

This time, the Yu Family, the Ning Family, and Song Wei were all silent. However, Xiong Jingzhong said: "What can just one spiritual technique prove!"    

    

At this time, Song Wei suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The Fluttering Silk Spirit Recovering Technique. This spirit technique actually has many inheritances from the Seven Spirit Sects of Zhang County and Yao County's Spirit Opening Faction!"    

    

Xiong Jingzhong was stunned. In fact, he did not know about this spirit art. When he heard Song Wei explain the details of this art, his expression immediately changed and he said: "What, Mister Song is suspicious of Shi Jiu Tong's connection with these two sects?"    

    

Song Wei glanced at him and said, "Then does Steward Xiong think that Shi Jiu Tong, a small village farmer, would have this Spirit Art inheritance? With the Xiong family supporting Stone Village Head, could this Spirit Art have been taught to him by the Xiong family?"
