Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

At this moment, everyone present wore expressions of shock, completely at a loss.

Only Lin Xuankong, in the corner, saw the entire battle process clearly.

It had to be said that Sun Wudi of Wine City, Sun Haiguang, was indeed very strong and his personality quite forceful. True to form, after leaping onto the Cloud Mist Platform, he completely ignored the Mysterious Female Cultivator. With a sudden roar, his arms more than doubled in length as he charged forward, unleashing the Spiritual Ape Fist!

His speed was extremely fast, roughly comparable to Lin Xuankong's when Lin Xuankong wasn't using any Beneficial Techniques.

In an instant, he stirred up countless air ripples as he crossed the dozens of zhang on the platform. His elongated arm shot out in a punch aimed directly at the veiled face of the White-clothed Female Cultivator. The attack carried tremendous momentum, truly befitting his title as Sun Wudi of Wine City!

Unfortunately, while he was fast and ferocious, the White-clothed Female Cultivator was even faster and fiercer!

She merely shifted her body slightly to evade Sun Wudi's formidable punch. Then, she raised her hand and, with lightning speed, struck Sun Wudi on the temple. The renowned Sun Wudi was sent flying out effortlessly.

Strictly speaking, Sun Wudi wasn't defeated in half a breath; he hadn't even lasted one-fiftieth of a breath!

During this process, the White-clothed Female Cultivator's entire body emitted a mysterious red light.

She had evidently activated an extremely Profound Mysterious Technique that enhanced her abilities. The burst of speed she displayed was similar to the Explosive Power bonus Lin Xuankong received when he activated the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique.

Among Lin Xuankong's various Beneficial Techniques, the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique provided the greatest boost to Explosive Power, achieving up to a sixfold enhancement. With such a sixfold bonus from the White-clothed Female Cultivator, coupled with the vast disparity in their speed and Explosive Power, it was perfectly normal for Sun Wudi to be sent flying by a single strike.

If Sun Wudi's Battle Armor hadn't protected his head, with that strike, he would have gone from being Sun the Invincible to Sun the Headless!

Of course, what made Lin Xuankong raise an eyebrow in amazement wasn't the White-clothed Female Cultivator's sixfold Explosive Power.

Lin Xuankong's own Explosive Power was augmented by: over fourfold from the Blood-Burning Secret Technique, over fourfold from the Frenzied Tiger technique, fourfold from the Kui Ox Drum, and over sixfold from the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique. The White-clothed Female Cultivator merely had a sixfold burst enhancement. Her movements, which other Martial Cultivators might not even be able to dodge, seemed incredibly slow to Lin Xuankong.

The time it took her to land one punch was enough for Lin Xuankong to throw and retract his own fist many times over!

What truly amazed Lin Xuankong was that the White-clothed Female Cultivator's strike, landing on Sun Wudi's Battle Armor, had actually siphoned off a vast amount of his Qi Blood *through* the armor.

If she hadn't instantly extracted Sun Wudi's Qi Blood with that strike, Sun Wudi, with his fourth-layer Cultivation, wouldn't have been knocked out on the spot even when facing such a fierce blow. He fainted entirely because the depletion of his Qi Blood left him unable to form a defense for his head, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

This Mysterious Female Cultivator's technique was exceedingly strange. It didn't just increase Explosive Power; it could also instantly siphon massive amounts of Qi Blood. Compared to the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique, it was far more sinister.

At that moment, Lin Xuankong looked up into the mist.

He saw the Mysterious Female Cultivator standing on the Cloud Mist Platform, the red glow around her body now even more vibrant after that single strike. This captivating red light, combined with her ethereal beauty and transcendent aura, made her appear extraordinarily divine.

Moreover, this Mysterious Female Cultivator seemed to have an extreme fondness for cleanliness. As she stood on the Cloud Mist Platform, there was actually an immaculate white carpet spread beneath her feet, and her white robes were spotless.

A few moments later, Lin Xuankong withdrew his gaze and closed his Double Pupils. He turned to look at the crowd on the mountainside, thinking to himself, This Mysterious Female Cultivator, even without resorting to other methods, could probably defeat most Martial Cultivators instantly with just this sixfold Explosive Power and her Qi Blood siphoning ability!

By this time, Sun Wudi had already regained consciousness.

When Sun Wudi saw the hundreds of Martial Cultivators staring at him, he recalled his earlier triumphant display and contrasted it with his current disheveled state. His face turned ashen. Beside him, a few friends who had prepared food and drinks in advance awkwardly returned them to their Ghost Frog Pouches.

After standing up, Sun Wudi, his face grim, clasped his hands in a brief salute to the few people nearby. He then turned and leaped off the platform, leaving behind a crowd of Martial Cultivators who were both deeply impressed and utterly astonished.

The crowd immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.

Sun Haiguang, who was renowned as invincible in Wine City, had been defeated in less than half a breath! This outcome deeply shocked the Martial Cultivators, making the Mysterious Female Cultivator seem even more enigmatic to them.

Amidst the discussions, a Martial Cultivator holding the number two token gave a soft cry, leaped out from the crowd, activated his Armor, and jumped onto the Cloud Mist Platform.

This second Martial Cultivator was named Wu Ming. He was ranked twenty-first on the Hero List and was also an extremely strong Martial Cultivator, though naturally quite inferior when compared to Sun Wudi.

However, to everyone's surprise, after Wu Ming leaped onto the Cloud Mist Platform, he managed to last for a full two breaths before being blasted off!

After he landed, everyone looked at Wu Ming in amazement and gathered around to ask what had happened. Wu Ming, however, said nothing. He merely clasped his fists proudly, then turned and descended the mountainside.

Ye Kai, standing beside Lin Xuankong, remarked in surprise, "That's not right. Sun Wudi only lasted half a breath, yet Wu Ming managed to hold on for two breaths! Such an achievement should be enough for Wu Ming to feel proud. Why does he look so dissatisfied? It's too strange!"

Han Feiyan, her typically square face etched with confusion, mused, "Could it be that once he got on the platform, he just ran around trying to evade her attacks and managed to dodge for two whole breaths that way?"

Hearing this, Ye Kai's eyes lit up. Shaking his fan, he laughed and said, "That sounds like a good tactic! It's a pity I don't have the qualifications to compete. Otherwise, if I got up there, I'd just run around like mad. Using that method to last for three breaths shouldn't be a problem, right? If I can't win, surely I can outrun her!"
