187: The battle between geniuses!

Mu Chengkong was certain that the person in front of him was indeed Lu Bai, but the latter seemed to be… missing something.

However, before he could think too much, as soon as Mu Chengkong's voice fell…

The battle was about to begin!

Surging spiritual energy erupted at this moment, and within the Spiritual Array, two top-tier Prodigies were clashing!

At this moment, Meng Lang, seeing the scene unfolding within the Formation, finally reacted with a delayed realization.

Was Lu Bai… planning to have the Array Spirit within the Formation fight Mu Chengkong?

"That's impossible, right? Even in the Eastern Domain, Mu Chengkong is a well-known Prodigy, not to mention he has now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. This… this…"

Even his Vermillion Bird Spirit Array could at most draw with Mu Chengkong.

Moreover, the strength of this temporarily constructed Formation could not possibly compare to the Vermillion Bird Spirit Array.

"Does victory or defeat truly matter in a sparring match between fellow Disciples? The right Dao is to gain insights from the battle and improve oneself," Lu Bai slowly said.

Besides, he also wanted to know how far pure Haoran Righteousness could go.

According to the classification of will power, Lu Bai's Haoran Righteousness should only be at the introductory level.

Could it… contend with the Nascent Soul Realm?

Meng Lang suddenly understood, then looked at Lu Bai, and slowly gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of his brother! Such broad-mindedness was truly rare.

"Peak Lord, the Elders of the Main Peak are also gathered outside Wen Jian Peak at this moment. It seems they are very worried about the safety of the Main Peak's Disciple," Sword Scenery's voice suddenly rang out.

The Elders of the Main Peak?

"Uncle Jing, if these Main Peak Elders wish to observe the battle, then bring them in. Just collect a small fee for the Formation's operation," Lu Bai said after a moment of thought.

"Yes!" Sword Scenery replied.

"Not too much, just one Top-Grade Spirit Stone will suffice," Lu Bai smiled slightly.

"Yes!"

Sword Scenery responded, then his figure vanished from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

At this moment…

Lu Bai suddenly had a bold idea.

Perhaps after drawing a character card and engaging in battle, the battle footage could be saved through the Retrospective Spirit Array's effect.

This would allow them to review and summarize battle experience, which would greatly enhance their combat power.

Of course…

It would be for a fee.

As for the arrangement of the Retrospective Spirit Array and the storage of the footage…

Lu Bai smiled slightly, looking at the "Great Master of Formations" in front of him, locking onto him.

Meng Lang's body instantly stiffened, and he shivered, looking around.

Why was there suddenly…

A chill appearing on his back? It made his whole body prickle!

…

Mu Chengkong had been in the Formation for a while, but outside the Formation, no fluctuations could be felt.

This worried the Main Peak Elders gathered outside Wen Jian Peak.

"It's one thing to fight, but why use a Formation? What if Peak Lord Lu doesn't hold back, wouldn't Chengkong…"

When Mu Chengkong set off, these Elders had already noticed his movements and followed him all the way here.

They even…

Feared that the situation would escalate too severely, and called in a reclusive Yin Spirit Realm Elder.

One must know that in Liuyun City, Qingxuan Sect's Prodigy Hua Yunshu was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Lu Bai. If it were Mu Chengkong, who was equally famous in their Main Peak…

His fate would probably be similar.

"Elder Qing, what do you… think about this?" These Elders looked at the Yin Spirit Realm Elder and asked.

"Heh… what do I think? I'm standing and watching!" Elder Qing glanced at them, immediately saw through their thoughts, and shook his head.

"Don't expect this old man to step in and stop this matter…"

As a Three Gods Realm cultivator, his perception was a level higher than these Nascent Soul Elders.

So much so that when Elder Qing stepped into Wen Jian Peak, he felt as if he was being targeted.

As if…

If he made any rash move, the next moment, he would be decapitated.

This Wen Jian Peak, not only were its Disciples all Prodigies, but it even… had such a strong expert, who was probably almost on par with the Sect Masters of other Peaks.

Thinking of this, Elder Qing sighed softly in his heart. If only Lu Bai were a Disciple of their Main Peak!

The next moment…

A powerful Aura appeared before them, an Aura that even made the Elders of the Main Peak feel as if they were facing a great enemy!

Elder Qing looked at the Sword Cultivator who appeared before him with an indifferent expression, and was stunned.

He hadn't moved?

Had he… just breathed?

"This Wen Jian Peak Elder…" Elder Qing quickly said.

"The Peak Lord said that if the Elders wish to observe the battle scene within the Spiritual Array, it's very simple. They only need to pay one Top-Grade Spirit Stone to cover the operating costs of the Spiritual Array," Sword Scenery slowly said.

"Please lead the way, Elder."

Hearing this, the Elders immediately breathed a sigh of relief. One of them handed over a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

"It's one per person," Sword Scenery said, taking it, and looking at them indifferently, emphasizing.

After Lu Bai said that, he didn't even need to think. He knew without a doubt.

With the Peak Lord's personality, how could he only collect one Top-Grade Spirit Stone?

The meaning within was surely thus!

All Elders: ???

Huh?

My goodness!

They just wanted to watch the battle between Mu Chengkong and Lu Bai, and they had to… pay so much money?

Fortunately, one Top-Grade Spirit Stone was not much for them, at most, it caused a bit of heartache.

Moreover…

If they could witness a battle between Prodigies, what was one Top-Grade Spirit Stone?

…

Within the Spiritual Array's display, the battle was raging fiercely, which also put the Main Peak Elders at ease.

"I didn't expect that after Chengkong came out of seclusion, not only did he leap to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but his combat power also became so formidable."

"Yes! He even faintly has the momentum to suppress Peak Lord Lu, and is even gaining the upper hand!" an Elder from the Main Peak exclaimed with emotion.

"In my opinion, Chengkong, he has the potential to be the Asked Sword Sect Sect Leader!"

Although they hadn't personally seen Lu Bai make a move, they had heard rumors of his battle achievements.

Not only did he suppress the Qingxuan Sect Prodigy in Liuyun City, but he could also repel a Three Gods Realm expert with a single sword strike.

But now, Mu Chengkong was actually able to gain a decisive upper hand in his battle with Lu Bai!

How could these Elders not be happy with such a promising Main Peak Disciple?

This way, the Sect would have another Prodigy, one who could rival Lu Bai!

The rise of Dao Asking Sect would also be unstoppable!

"Senior Brother Mu's strength, character, and talent are all top-notch. It's not surprising that he has such a demeanor," Lu Bai said, looking at the Elders watching the Formation, and smiled slightly.

"Indeed, Peak Lord Lu's words are true…" Elder Qing looked at Lu Bai, waved his hand, then seemed to realize something, looked at Lu Bai, and widened his eyes.

Hmm?

"Yes, Peak Lord Lu, you are also…"

Hearing Elder Qing's words, the surrounding Main Peak Elders also chimed in.

But very quickly…

They also realized something was wrong, their eyes suddenly narrowed, falling on the White-robed Youth with a gentle smile in front of them.

Hmm?

Wait!!!

If the person in front of them was the Asked the Sword Peak Sect Master, Lu Bai.

Then…

Who was fighting Mu Chengkong in the Formation?
