SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 135.7: Gong Jun vs Huan Chaun!

Jun knew he couldnt take someone of Chauns strength by taking him lightly but that didnt mean he needed to use all of his strength fighting him either. With a quick swap of his sword, Jun calmly walked forward with a smile on his face. This sword would help him greatly against someone at a higher stage than himself. Chaun took out his spear and held it forward. Juns 3rd Senior Brother used a spear, he wondered how well did Chaun use his spear in comparison to 3rd Senior.  

Flowing River Style: Black Water Blade. Beautiful black flowing water began to slither around his sword like a snake. 

Chaun dashed forward with his spear, as if a brutal rhino, wanting to do nothing more than to gore his enemy with his great horn. Jun could feel the strength radiating off of that charge and knew he couldnt handle something like that without using his full strength. Well, thats if he was the same person he was before going inside the Treasured Plains. Now, something like this wasnt even worth using his defensive sword style on. 

Why is Prince Jun just standing there?! Hes about to be killed! 

Maybe hes frozen in fright! Cant you feel the terrifying amount of qi coming from Chaun?! Im getting goosebumps and I'm just watching! 

Prince Jun, please dodge! A female disciple cried out. 

Prince Jun, quickly move out the way! The other female disciples joined in to cheer for him. 

Chaun wondered if he really was shaken to his core. He wouldnt stop his charge though, even if that was the case. An Outer Court disciple doesnt challenge an Inner Court disciple without being prepared for the worst. The Inner Court disciples reputation is the one on the line in a battle between disciples from the two different courts. It doesnt matter if Chaun wins or loses, he will be the one heavily judged in the end. If he doesnt win this duel flawlessly, he will lose face. Someone at a lower stage than him being able to give him trouble just means hes weak. 

Chauns spear finally reached the point of no return. He could no longer hold back his strength on the off chance that Jun surrenders right now. And that was when Jun finally moved. His blade rose with a graceful arc that sent Chauns weapon flying upward. 

Youve came within range of my Swordsmans Graveyard. It might not be a true Qi Domain, but Master Mo says its a decent imitation. Jun smiled as his sword came slashing towards Chauns throat as soon as he deflected his attack. 

Chaun was essentially helpless in his current state! All of his power was used in that charge that was sent soaring into the sky because of Juns sword deflection. Now his spear was raised towards the sky and his body was almost defenseless. Rearing back the strength used in that charge took a significant amount of energy from him. But it was enough to have the body of his spear block Juns almost fatal cut. 

You see... My domain only extends as far as my sword can reach. In this graveyard of mine, everything within it can be and will be cut. Jun calmly chatted. 

His sword constantly struck against Chaun in an attempt to get past his defense. The sword strikes were deadly accurate, deceptively quick, and dangerously lethal. Chaun might have blocked the slashes but that did not mean he was unscathed. Juns cuts left small nicks on Chauns skin that made him instantly understand that his sword was no normal blade. No, this blade absorbed the qi of the opponent it cut. Giving Jun more qi than he usually had. 

Chaun was confused at how this match as turning out. Wasnt this supposed to be just an exchange of techniques? A normal spar? Why did it seem like Jun was trying to kill him instead? The first time he tried to kill him couldve been considered an accident. But the second, third, fourth, and fifth time couldnt be considered anything such. This Outer Court brat seriously wanted to take him out! 

Dont joke around with me! Im not going to become your stepping stone! Chaun declared. 

His body radiated with flames that Jun promptly ignored by slashing at Chauns eyes. Chaun deflected with the body of his spear and attempted to blow him away by increasing the range of his inflamed body.  

Youre still within my range, Senior. Flowing River Style: Blue Water Blade. The water levitating around his sword turned sharp and pressuring, oozing with deathly intent. Its previous black color turned clear blue, allowing anyone to see straight through it. 

Juns sword cut through the very air itself. Chaun immediately listened to his gut feeling to fall back to a safer range. This choice turned out to be the correct one as despite listening to his instincts to avoid Juns blade, it still stabbed into his stomach. Sweat dripped from Chauns forehead, which quickly evaporated from the heat of his flames.  

Tch. Just what the hell is this?! Chaun no longer decided to play around in this duel. 

He used his flames as projectiles and his spear as the tool to fire them with. With several fast thrusts, fire shaped as spear heads flew right for Jun. The heat emitting from those fire blasts was enough to seriously harm the average 1st and 2nd stage Qi Consolidator. Everyone watching was excited to see how the prodigy Prince Jun would handle such a formidable attack. 

Flowing River Style: Red Water Blade. Blood colored water covered the blade of Juns sword. 

Jun almost smirked because of how perfect of a situation this turned out to be. He slashed, sliced, and chopped at the incoming projectiles with his sword. Each fire blast was sliced in half and absorbed into his sword. A sword that was already known to be able to absorb qi. Was Chaun more of a fool than he thought or was this some sort of trick to let his guard down? 

Hmph. Chaun began to dash forward with tricky movements, most likely some form of leg arts. 

Come. Jun smiled. Enter my range once again so I can tear you to shreds! 

Chauns assault this time was much more refined. His martial arts being shown in full force! The true strength of a cultivator at the 2nd stage of the Qi Consolidator realm. Jun, momentarily, was caught off guard by the increase in strength and skill of Chaun. So much in fact that, Chaun managed to bring him to the edge of the dueling ring. Pressuring him with his superior qi reserves and surprisingly high levels of martial arts. 

You are definitely worthy of your cultivation realm, Huan Chaun! You were holding back for my sake earlier, werent you? Jun complimented. 

Like hell I was holding back. I wanted to finish you off in one hit! Chaun stayed silent and kept up the offense. 

Jun continued to loudly praise Chaun while inwardly observing his spear technique. He wanted to see how his skills matched up to his 3rd Senior Martial Brother and over the course of their battle, he wasnt too impressed. Chaun wasnt the type of fighter who used skill with the spear to defeat his opponents from what it seemed. Instead, he replied on using brute force to force his opponents under submission. If his 3rd Senior was to face off against him, he wouldnt stand a chance even if he restricted himself to the 1st stage of the Qi Gathering realm. His skill with the spear was truly frightening. It was something that Jun himself could only admire from a far. For now at least... 

I believe it's time to take this a little seriously now. Jun was just sent flying to the other side of the stage by Chauns swipe. 

Show me what you got Qi Gatherer. Chaun confidently spun his spear and aimed it forward. 

From within Juns storage ring, multiple swords began firing into the air. The crowd watching could barely hold their breaths when trying to calculate the value held by those dozens of swords. Just this portion of Juns wealth was enough to allow any of those watching to live a life without worries! If they chose to not advance past the Qi Gathering realm then they could surely live a blessed life with that much money!  

Each sword varying in size, length, color, sharpness, and ability were littered across the dueling ring. Juns handsome smile rose another level! 

My domain has just increased to the entire stage. He kindly informed Chaun. 

Huh? At that response, a sword just went flying past his face at breakneck speeds. A long gash appeared across his face. 

Chauns expression turned serious as he felt the blood dripping down his cheek. He knows for a fact that he dodged that sword throw. The spearman readied himself for any other unexpected attacks while Jun ran towards him. Both cultivators clashed with all their strength. One was sent sliding backwards with numb hands. The others sword shattered into pieces as he grabbed another sword stabbed into the stage for usage. 

They make these blades so flimsy nowadays. We need better blacksmiths at the sect but no one wants to take the time to follow such a hard working path. Jun shared before slashing at Chauns spear. 

And just like before, it shattered from the amount of force he put into his swing. But Jun wasnt finished yet, if two swords wasnt enough, hed use three. If three wasnt enough hed use four. The blades continuously broke upon hitting Chauns weapon. Eventually creating a noticeable cut into the body of his weapon. With Juns skill with the sword, it was all too easy to target the same spot with his infinite supply of blades.  

Chaun knew if he let this continue, he would be without a weapon soon. That was a situation he must avoid at all costs! He avoided one of Juns sword strikes by jumping to the side and thrusting outward with his spear while his arm was stretched out, increasing its attack range to its maximum. His spear shattered the blade of the upstart Qi Gatherer and continued forward to impale him! 

Unfortunately, he wasnt aware of the blade Jun grabbed with his foot as his blade was being broken. The toe grabbed blade was then sent slashing across Chauns midsection before another one was thrown into his gut by the young prince. Now, taken off the ground from the power of Juns attacks, Jun had total freedom to do whatever he wanted to the helpless Qi Consolidator.  

Ah ah ah. Senior, it looks like you left yourself open. Jun smiled.
