Since ancient times, it had always been the custom of watching a good show. If it didn't concern them, they would just ignore it. This was an interesting custom … Ta Ba Palace was no exception. Although many disciples coveted the eighth floor of the Cultivation Tower, they were afraid of the three people on the eighth floor. Very few people were willing to step forward and cause trouble for them. Not only would they lose face, but they would also get into trouble. After all, those who could reach the eighth floor all had some status in Ta Ba Palace.
However, everyone was happy to watch others challenge them.
"Speaking of which, this kid is so unfamiliar. Why haven't I seen him before?"
"You don't know, but this kid just entered the Taba Palace. He was brought back by the Palace Master from the outside world a few days ago. It's said that he saved the Young Master during the trial at the strait. The Palace Master is grateful to him, so he took him in. Otherwise, how could he, a cultivator at the initial Domain Realm, be qualified to enter the Taba Palace and be appointed as a guest elder?"
"Oh?
A guest elder at the initial success stage of the Domain Realm?
Has the Palace Master gone senile? "
"Who knows? That brat really doesn't know what's good for him. After entering the Tuoba Palace, he should've just stayed hidden. Why did he have to cause trouble? Now that he's offended Lu Peng, not only is he embarrassing himself, but it's hard to say whether he'll be able to stay in the Tuoba Palace in the future. Lu Peng can kill a Minor Domain Realm cultivator with a single move."
All sorts of discussions rang out as all the disciples looked at Qin Shi with ridicule in their eyes.
At this moment, Lu Peng's palm wind was already half a meter away from Qin Shi. Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. Lu Peng's method was indeed extraordinary. Although his palm wind was only at the Minor Domain Realm, it was not inferior to a Perfected Domain Realm cultivator. He even believed that Lu Peng's cultivation was above Xia Yang, who claimed to be the number one genius of the Taba Palace. He must've been in seclusion for a long time to not let others know about him.
Qin Shi thought in his heart. Soon after, he calmed himself down a little. Although Lu Peng's palm wind was extremely troublesome to deal with, it was merely difficult to deal with … it had not reached a troublesome level for him. A lightning net split apart around his body. He pointed at the empty air and furiously tapped at Lu Peng. An enormous force immediately tore through space like a giant beast from another world. It opened its bloody mouth and violently swallowed Lu Peng's palm wind.
Boom!
Immediately, there was a loud noise. Seeing this scene, Lu Peng frowned slightly, "Kid, you have the thunder attribute?"
Qin Shi couldn't deny it. The lightning attribute naturally suppressed the water attribute. It could only be said that Lu Peng's luck wasn't too good.
Lu Peng slowly narrowed his eyes. "Hmph, fine, kid. But don't think that just because the thunder attribute can suppress me, you can do anything. Once the water attribute reaches its true strength, your little sparks of thunder will be extinguished!"
"Furious Wave Sweeping Palm!"
Lu Peng steadied his horse stance and launched another palm strike at Qin Shi.
Boom!
This palm strike was extremely powerful. The sea currents in front of Lu Peng were compressed into a ball, forming a huge water cannonball that suddenly exploded towards Qin Shi.
"It's the Raging Waves Sweeping Palm!
This martial art is a Creation-level martial art personally passed down by the Palace Master! "
"Lu Peng wants to kill that kid?"
"I think so. After all, no one has dared to anger him for so long."
"Hehe, interesting."
Everyone coldly stared at Qin Shi with the intention of watching a show.
The rolling waves continued to approach. The most shocking thing was that as the water cannon neared Qin Shi, it continued to expand and accumulate power.
"Kid!
Don't say I didn't warn you. It's not too late to retreat from the eighth level. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to leave this place alive! "Lu Peng smirked coldly.
Qin Shi helplessly shook his head. This Raging Waves Sweeping Palm was indeed very strong. It was a Creation-level martial art, but to him … it was full of flaws. Suddenly, Qin Shi took a step back and steadied his horse stance, mimicking Lu Peng's movements?
Seeing this scene, everyone frowned slightly. Even Lu Peng himself was surprised.
"This is the accumulated power of the Raging Waves Sweeping Palm?
Could it be that this kid also knows the Raging Waves Sweeping Palm? "
"No, that's impossible. The Raging Waves Sweeping Palm is exclusive to the water attribute. It's impossible for non-water attribute disciples to cultivate it!"
Even Lu Peng himself was frowning slightly.
Qin Shi did not make a sound. A faint smile hung at the corner of his lips. Of course, if someone were to pay attention to him at this moment, they would discover a strange shadow around him. That shadow was like the soul of a deity, and it enveloped Qin Shi from the outside, causing the lightning attribute around him to completely disappear, turning into pure, illusory elemental energy. Even the surrounding water attribute began to draw closer to Qin Shi at this moment, becoming exceptionally amiable. However, it was a pity … at this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on Lu Peng, and no one noticed this strange scene.
"Spirit Tempering Body, Copy!"
Qin Shi shouted in his heart. Soon after, a giant Raging Waves Water Cannon suddenly gathered between his palms.
Boom!
A giant water cannon that was several times larger than Lu Peng suddenly formed. Around the water cannon, violent currents formed a whirlpool, causing the water attribute to explosively increase. In the end, the violent attack was unleashed. In that instant, Lu Peng's water cannon was shattered. The giant water cannon was like a surging river, crashing down on Lu Peng.
"That, that's impossible!"
Lu Peng immediately froze on the spot, his face filled with shock.
Bang!
Boom!
The water cannon ruthlessly smashed into Lu Peng's body. Lu Peng was immediately sent flying, crashing miserably into the eighth floor's fence. Even the fence made of Darksteel shattered on the spot, and he was almost sent flying out of the tower.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
"What happened?"
"Gulp … How, how is this possible?
Lu Peng, Lu Peng was defeated? "
"Moreover, he was defeated by the Raging Waves Palm that he is most proud of?
What's wrong with this kid? "
At this moment, Qin Shi walked in front of Lu Peng with a smile and extended his hand.
Lu Peng collapsed on the railing. He clenched his fists tightly. There was unwillingness in his eyes, but more than that, there was surprise. He gritted his teeth and said, "You, you purposely held back just now?"
Qin Shi did not deny it. "You and I have no enmity. It's just for this place of cultivation. There's no need for us to be enemies. Moreover, I owe Palace Master Tuoba a debt of gratitude. If I kill you, it'll be hard to explain to him."
It was just a few words, but it instantly shocked everyone present.
"Just, just now, that kid held back?
Is this real or fake? "
Lu Peng squinted his eyes and finally shook his head helplessly. He grabbed Qin Shi's hand and stood up. "I lost. It's because my skills are not as good as others. You are indeed very powerful. Can you tell me, how did you do it?
I don't believe that you have already learned the Raging Waves Palm. This martial art can only be practiced by those who are not of the water attribute. "
"Have you heard of drawing a tiger from a cat?"
Lu Peng was startled. He had only heard of drawing a cat from a tiger, but this was the first time he had heard of drawing a tiger from a cat. However, it was true that based on the martial arts displayed by the two of them, if his was a cat, then Qin Shi's was enough to be called the king of beasts. He squinted his eyes and said, "You, you just saw me display it and then learned it on the spot?"
Qin Shi shrugged, tacitly agreeing. He said, "If I was given more time, I should be able to display it better. If this martial art is modified, its potential is not bad."
Qin Shi's words were not false. This Raging Waves Palm was not ordinary. The most powerful part was that it could continuously accumulate power. Of course, later on, he modified it a little, forming a whirlpool around the water cannon, greatly increasing the accumulation of power. This was why Lu Peng lost so miserably.
The corner of Lu Peng's mouth twitched. If others knew that the Raging Waves Sweeping Palm that he had cultivated for three years was copied by someone in just a few seconds, he didn't know if they would laugh their teeth off or treat him as a lunatic. He suddenly smiled bitterly. Only now did he understand the true gap between him and Qin Shi. He was convinced and said, "I'm convinced. No wonder Godfather would confer you as a Guest Elder. You have the qualifications!
You … Can you teach me the Raging Waves Palm that you just performed? "
Qin Shi nodded indifferently. "Of course I can, but wait a little longer. When I have time, I will help you completely modify this martial art. Otherwise, it will be full of loopholes. If you meet an ordinary cultivator, it will be fine. If you meet someone who has studied martial arts, it will be easily broken, just like what happened to me just now."
Hearing this, Lu Peng smiled helplessly. This was the martial art that the Palace Master was proud of. How could someone say that it was full of loopholes?
"You won. According to the rules, this cave is yours. Which cave on the seventh floor were you originally in?" Lu Peng asked.
"The seventh floor?" Qin Shi was stunned. He said, "I came up from the first floor."
"Wha, what?"
Lu Peng's eyes twitched a few times. He looked at Qin Shi as if he was looking at a monster. When people challenged the upper floors, they at least fought their way up from the lower floors. Even if they were defeated, they could just retreat to the lower floor. This Qin Shi … actually jumped from the first floor to challenge the eighth floor?
Didn't that mean that not only did he lose the cave on the eighth floor, he also had to go back to the first floor?
"With your strength, it is not difficult to fight back to the seventh floor. Work hard."
Qin Shi also understood the meaning behind Lu Peng's words. He chuckled and did not continue the conversation. He patted Lu Peng's shoulder and hurriedly turned around and scurried into the cave, leaving Lu Peng alone outside the eighth floor.
At this time, everyone was no longer watching the show. Especially the cultivators on the seventh floor. One by one, they hurriedly shrank their necks and retreated into the cave, afraid that they would be targeted by Lu Peng. Lu Peng was defeated, which meant that some of them had to give up their cave to Lu Peng. The seventh floor was much higher than the sixth floor. Who would be willing to give it up?
At this time, they began to regret. Who said that when it was hot, they were not afraid of trouble?
This was retribution, wasn't it?
Of course, as for who Lu Peng would challenge, Qin Shi naturally did not care. After he entered the cave on the eighth floor, he looked around. This cave was very exquisitely built. In the center, there was a praying mat, surrounded by eight pieces of Mysterious Crystal. It was full of spiritual power, and the walls were made of Deep Sea Mysterious Iron. Even if a World Realm expert came, it would be extremely difficult to disturb this place. It was indeed an excellent place to cultivate in seclusion.
Only then did Qin Shi slowly sit down and take out the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique that had been dusty for a long time.
Thinking about it, the last time he read this ancient book, it should be in the northern area. At that time, he did not leave Chi Yan. He really did not expect that when he touched it again and prepared to cultivate the fourth floor, everything would change. Even until now, Qin Shi still had a lingering fear in his heart.
