Chapter 926: 927 Chapter I Want to Enlighten You
“Amitabha, Jiumozhi, do you really feel accomplished by bullying younger disciples? This is hardly a glorious act. If you truly wish to challenge the strong, why not wait for the disciples of Great Thunderclap Temple to come and challenge them!”
A monk’s expression became utterly somber. Jiumozhi was recognized as a genius within the Buddhist Sect; aside from Great Thunderclap Temple, no other temples dared to touch him. The squabbles of the younger generation were trivial, but the elder experts were not allowed to strike him, let alone in front of so many people, he couldn’t bring himself to strike the opponent even if he wanted to.
It was precisely because the opponent saw through this that he was fearless.
“Amitabha, among the younger disciples, there are few who can fight Xiaobai on equal footing. Master Liao Chen of Great Thunderclap Temple only narrowly defeated Xiaobai through trickery. Xiaobai will naturally challenge him once again,” he said.
“However, some young masters just mentioned that Xiaobai’s power is mediocre, and their words seemed quite critical. Xiaobai, today daringly, will use the unique techniques of your esteemed masters’ temples to meet various heroes!”
Jiumozhi clasped his hands together, his fighting spirit intense.
“Jiumozhi, you are far too arrogant. Our temples’ secret Buddhist Laws are never transmitted outside, how could you have learned them, yet you still want to use our Cultivation Techniques to defeat us? You’re really not aware of the immensity of heaven and earth!” said an old monk.
A young monk standing behind the old monk displayed a look of anger; many of his fellow disciples lay on the ground. If it weren’t for his elder restraining him, he would have confronted the opponent long ago. Hearing such boastful words now, he could hardly contain himself.
“Exactly, didn’t you also lose to that cultivator named Li Xiaobai recently? What right do you have to act so arrogantly! Instead of challenging them to learn and practice, you target us monks, perhaps thinking we’re easy targets to manipulate?”
“Amitabha, Xiaobai is proficient in all the Cultivation Techniques and unique skills within the Buddha Country. If Master harbors doubts, he might as well come forward to test and see if what Xiaobai says is true!” said Jiumozhi.
“Amitabha, this monk Yuanfa of Vajra Temple, today, to protect the honor of our temple, dares to invite Master Jiumozhi to teach us!”
A young monk disregarded the old monk’s restraint and swiftly appeared in front of Jiumozhi, his eyes sharp, emitting streaks of killing intent.
“Amitabha, the most famous technique of Vajra Temple is the Wrathful King Kong. Once executed, it provides both offense and defense. Xiaobai will demonstrate this technique to make Master submit!”
Seeing someone step up to challenge, Jiumozhi also calmed down and said lightly.
“Arrogant!”
“Deserves death!”
Monk Yuanfa put his palms together, and golden light surged around him, forming the appearance of a Buddha, his eyes wide open in anger. His two large hands slammed down toward Jiumozhi, the winds from his palms alone cracking the ground.
“Master Yuanfa truly is Vajra Temple’s pride, to have his Buddhist Law reach such a solid state, Xiaobai admires this!”
Jiumozhi, as he watched the enormous hand coming down, also put his palms together, his body radiating bright Buddha light. A Wrathful King Kong, identical to the one above Yuanfa’s head, appeared, stretching out two large hands that clashed fiercely with Yuanfa’s.
“Plop!”
In an instant, Yuanfa’s Wrathful King Kong shattered, the golden Buddha light breaking inch by inch, and he was flung back, spewing blood from his mouth, his aura dimming.
“Amitabha, Xiaobai’s Wrathful King Kong seems rather presumptuous in front of the masters!”
Jiumozhi brought his hands together and chanted a Buddha’s name, his mouth seemingly humble, but his eyes brimming with triumph.
“This… Yuanfa was defeated in one move, and indeed it was against his specialty technique—how could this be?”
Not only the surrounding monks were stunned, even the old monks were taken aback. In their belief, their disciples might be defeated by the opponent, but surely not so disastrously!
Had this man grown so strong?
“Xiaobai of Damo Institute, Xuen Nan, seeks teachings from Master Jiumozhi!”
While the old monks were still dazed, another genius ran out, leaping into the air and pointing at Jiumozhi. In the void, there seemed to be petals falling, carrying with them an aura of terror; it wasn’t real petals but petals formed by Cultivation Technique, either lethal or severely damaging if touched.
Jiumozhi, unflustered, raised a single hand and countered with a finger pointing, creating a giant petal that burst forth, sweeping everything before him away.
“Plop!”
Without any suspense, Monk Xuen Nan was thrown backward, landing next to Monk Yuanfa, continuously coughing up blood.
“May Buddha have mercy, I never imagined that even the prodigies of the Damo Institute would fall with a single blow. Outside of the Great Thunderclap Temple, there are no great generals left in Buddha Country!”
Jiumozhi wore a face full of disappointment.
The entire venue fell silent, staring dumbfounded at everything happening before them, their faces flush with disbelief. To defeat an opponent with their own superior technique, how profound must one’s cultivation level be, and how confident they must be!
“The difference in strength is too vast, isn’t it? What’s the point in fighting when he’s so proud of it!”
Hu Meizi didn’t understand; to her, such a guaranteed victory was simply bullying.
“Indeed, the strength of Jiumozhi should not be underestimated among his peers. Why insist on this kind of victory?”
Li Xiaobai nodded in agreement.
“This person is accumulating momentum. Each victory adds to his force, and over time, this can transform into an unstoppable might, which he then uses to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”
“However, he has chosen the wrong opponents, always seeking sure wins with disciples. Even if he wins, he won’t accumulate enough momentum. The true force is forged through life-and-death trials. Trying to take shortcuts will ultimately only harm oneself.”
Xiao Lao Di spoke from the side.
“It seems you understand quite a bit?”
Li Xiaobai asked, looking towards him.
“Those who know, know; those who don’t will understand in time,” Xiao Lao Di replied.
“What if he loses?” Liu Jingshui asked.
“If he loses, he must start all over again.”
“I see, so he has lost twice and now he must have nothing left,”
Liu Jinshui nodded. Jiumozhi had lost to him and to Monk Liao Chen from the Great Thunderclap Temple, which was akin to resetting his account. No wonder he was so eager to find lower-ranked disciples to spar with; he wanted to quickly return to his peak form.
In the arena, Jiumozhi arrogantly said, “It turns out that the secret Cultivation Techniques from various temples can only be fully utilized in the hands of this young monk. It would be better for everyone here to disband and join the Great Thunderclap Temple instead!”
“You!”
“As a Buddhist monk, yet so fond of fighting fiercely, truly disregarding the clear rules and precepts!”
“When I return today, this old monk will surely ask the high monks of Arhat Hall to make you restart from the beginning!”
The old monks were furious, their faces ashen. Their disciples had lost too quickly and too easily, embarrassing them in front of so many people.
“Masters, there’s no need for more words. Today, I know that young talents from different parts of the Mainland have gathered here, all seeking opportunities. The grand tomb hasn’t been opened yet, and I would like to ask for some teachings from anyone willing, if you please?”
Jiumozhi, unconcerned by the old monks’ words, pressed his palms together and scanned the surrounding onlookers. He came from the Great Wheel Monastery, which also backed him powerfully.
The crowd was silent, having seen the dreadful condition of the two Buddhist prodigies just now. This person was definitely a strong competitor within the Earth Immortal Realm; for the average person, going up against him was tantamount to delivering themselves to defeat.
It was at this moment that Li Xiaobai stepped forward, came close to Jiumozhi, and cheerfully said:
“Master, what do you think of me?”
Jiumozhi slightly narrowed his eyes: “Amitabha, I have yet to ask for your esteemed name and surname.”
Li Xiaobai smiled slightly: “I am Liu Jinshui. I have observed some deficiencies in your Buddhist practice and would like to offer some instruction.”
