The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 168 Chu Mochen's Challenge

After Yun Yao successfully broke through the Qi Training Stage and advanced to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the entire sect was like a lake with a stone thrown into it, with ripples spreading. And these ripples also spread in Chu Mochen's heart. He looked at Yun Yao's increasingly advanced cultivation, and a complex light flashed in his eyes, a look of admiration, envy, and aroused fighting spirit.

Chu Mochen was a very proud person, and his talent was also outstanding in the sect. In the past, he always practiced silently. Although he paid attention to the people and things around him, he did not really regard anyone as his competitor. However, the appearance and growth of Yun Yao was like a fire, igniting his deep desire for greater power. He knew that he could no longer be satisfied with his current cultivation. He needed to break through and go further and higher on this road of cultivation.

Thus, Chu Mochen began his journey to challenge the masters of his sect. His first challenge was to a senior brother who had been in the middle stage of the foundation building stage for a long time. This senior brother was well-known in the sect, and his magic skills were quite high, and his magic weapon was also very powerful. Chu Mochen chose him not blindly but after careful consideration. He knew that only by fighting with the strong could he truly test his strength, find his shortcomings, and then break through the bottleneck.

The news of the challenge spread quickly in the sect, like a gust of wind, sweeping every corner. The disciples of the sect gathered around the competition venue, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation. They all wanted to see what Chu Mochen, who had recently become famous, was capable of to dare to challenge this powerful senior brother.

On the day of the competition, the sun was shining brightly, but the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. The competition venue was crowded with people, and the disciples stretched their necks to see this exciting duel. Chu Mochen was dressed in a black suit, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his eyes were firm and cold, revealing an indomitable momentum. He held his usual magic weapon - a long sword emitting a cold light, with mysterious runes engraved on the sword, and faint spiritual power fluctuations.

His opponent, the senior brother, was wearing a blue robe with fluttering sleeves, like an immortal. His expression was calm and composed, and the magic weapon in his hand was a fan, which looked ordinary, but when he waved it lightly, he could feel the powerful spiritual power contained in it.

The competition began, and the senior brother took the lead in launching an attack. He waved the fan in his hand, and suddenly a strong wind blew, mixed with countless sharp wind blades, whistling towards Chu Mochen. Wherever the wind blades passed, deep gullies were cut into the ground, and dust flew. Chu Mochen's eyes focused, and the long sword in his hand swung quickly, forming a spiritual power shield in front of him. The wind blades hit the shield, splashing sparks, and the spiritual power fluctuations spread all around, making the surrounding disciples feel a strong impact.

Chu Mochen knew that he couldn't just passively defend himself. He saw the right moment, flashed, and rushed towards his senior brother like a ghost. His speed was so fast that only a black afterimage was left in everyone's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he came in front of his senior brother and stabbed his opponent's vital point with his long sword. Seeing this, his senior brother was not in a hurry. He gently turned his fan, and a gentle force surged out of the fan, dissolving Chu Mochen's attack into nothingness. At the same time, he quickly formed a seal with his other hand, muttering something, and a water curtain appeared out of thin air, covering Chu Mochen.

Chu Mochen felt the powerful spiritual power contained in the water curtain, and he did not dare to underestimate it. He stomped his feet on the ground, jumped high, and turned in the air, cleverly avoiding the attack of the water curtain. Then, he cast a spell in the air, and lightning shot out from his hands and struck his senior brother. The lightning flashed with dazzling light, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if to tear the entire sky apart. Facing the lightning attack, the senior brother looked solemn. He put away the fan, danced his hands quickly, and formed complex hand seals. A huge spiritual power vortex appeared in front of him, absorbing the incoming lightning.

This fight was just an opening test, but it already stunned the disciples present. They didn't expect that Chu Mochen could fight this senior brother on equal terms. In the past, they all thought that this senior brother's strength was unfathomable, but Chu Mochen could handle it with ease.

As the competition continued, the attacks between the two became more intense. Chu Mochen gradually figured out his senior brother's attack routine, and he began to change his strategy. He no longer blindly attacked, but cleverly used his speed and flexibility to deal with his senior brother. Sometimes he quickly shuttled around his senior brother to disrupt his vision, and sometimes he suddenly launched a fierce attack, making his senior brother exhausted.

During one attack, Chu Mochen spotted a loophole in his brother's defense. He poured all his spiritual power into the sword, and the sword shone brightly. He shouted and stabbed at his brother's flaw fiercely. This sword condensed all his strength. The speed and strength made his brother feel a sense of crisis. The brother hurriedly mobilized all his spiritual power to try to strengthen his defense. But he was still a step too slow. Chu Mochen's sword cut through his defense, leaving a deep wound on his shoulder.

Blood oozed from the wound, and the brother's face turned pale. But he was an experienced master after all, and he did not panic. He endured the pain and launched a more fierce counterattack. He waved the fan in his hand again, and this time it was not a wind blade, but a series of flames. The flames pounced towards Chu Mochen like a dragon, and the air was distorted by the burning wherever it went.

Chu Mochen did not flinch in the face of the blazing flames. He injected spiritual power into the sword and swung it quickly, forming a spiritual power whirlwind. The whirlwind and the flames collided with each other, and for a moment, the flames shot up into the sky and the heat waves rolled. The disciples around him all felt the blazing temperature and retreated one after another.

In the confrontation between the flames and the whirlwind, Chu Mochen found that the power of the flames was getting stronger and stronger. He knew that he couldn't continue to be in a stalemate. He suddenly thought of a bold plan. He pretended to be defeated and deliberately let the flames break through his defense and rush towards him. At the moment when the flames were about to engulf him, he performed an earth escape technique and quickly drilled into the ground.

When the senior brother saw Chu Mochen being engulfed by the flames, he felt a little relieved. But he soon realized that something was wrong, because he did not feel any signs of Chu Mochen's spiritual power dissipating. Just as he was alert, Chu Mochen broke out from the ground behind him. He rushed to the senior brother at the fastest speed and stabbed out with the long sword in his hand again. This time, the senior brother was distracted and failed to make an effective defense in time. Chu Mochen's long sword accurately stabbed the senior brother's abdomen.

The senior brother was severely injured, and his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by Chu Mochen. The disciples around were also stunned. They originally thought that the senior brother would easily win this competition, but they didn't expect the result to be like this.

Although Chu Mochen won the competition, he also consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was exhausted. He looked at his senior brother lying on the ground, and his heart was not proud, but full of respect for this senior brother. He knew that this victory was hard-won and was the result of the experience and courage he had accumulated from fighting against the strong.

After this competition, Chu Mochen's reputation became even more famous in the sect. Many disciples looked up to him and regarded him as an idol. But Chu Mochen was not satisfied with this. He knew that he still had a long way to go. He continued to challenge other masters in the sect. In every battle, he went all out and learned from every failure and victory.

In the constant challenges, Chu Mochen's strength is constantly improving. He is gradually approaching the middle stage of the foundation building stage. His spells are more skillful and his control over spiritual power is more precise. His fighting style has also become more stable and sharp, and every move contains powerful power.

The competition and growth between him and Yun Yao in the sect became the focus of attention of other disciples. They were like two bright stars, shining with unique light in the sky of the sect. In their spare time, the disciples always talked about their deeds. Some envied them, some were jealous, but more were inspired by them and worked hard to practice, hoping that one day they could also achieve brilliant achievements on the road of cultivation like them.
