Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Confucian Cultivator vs Confucian Cultivator—1

“Du Xueyi still lacks combat experience. A loss should serve as a lesson,” Qiu jin’an shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about the unfavorable start.

In his heart, Lu Yang thought, stop putting up a front Sect Leader Qiu, you’ve already crushed a teacup out of anger and still act all nonchalant about it.

Allowing Meng Jingzhou to fight in the first round was Lu Yang s idea. He wanted Meng Jingzhou to show the Five Elements Sect what they were up against.

Fairy Eternity hesitated before speaking, “Sect Leader Qiu, I think Meng

Jingzhou’s use of his cultivated hair to smash into the opponent’s head can’t simply be described as a lack of combat experience.”

At least in the ancient times, Fairy Eternity had never seen such an outrageous method of Body Refinement.

Could this be the new-age Body Refinement Cultivator?

Qiu Jin’an was silenced by the blunt Fairy Eternity and lost for words.

Can I have someone else sit by my side?

Qiu Jin’an tried to maintain an aloof demeanor and said, “I merely let Du Xueyi lead off to warm up the crowd. The next one to appear won’t be an easy target.”

On the battle platform appeared a refined Confucian Cultivator wearing a ceremonial headdress, with a paper fan in his hand. Dressed in a pale turquoise robe, he walked with an unhurried calm.

“This is our Sect’s most outstanding Confucian Cultivator during the

Foundation Establishment Stage, Fang Hao.”

Qiu Jin’an spoke with ceremony, but all the members of the Five Elements Sect knew all too well that Fang Hao was actually on par with Du Xueyi.

“What a coincidence, ours is also a Confucian Cultivator!”

On the other side of the platform, Man Gu, carrying a large hammer, arrived late. Originally, Man Gu wanted to bring Meng Jingzhou with him, but the referee disallowed it, claiming Meng Jingzhou was not a weapon. Thus, Man Gu had to resort to his newly exchanged Black Sand Iron Hammer.

A Talisman was attached to the handle of the hammer, able to recite the complete “Words of the Saint.”

“The Saint said: To learn and exercise at proper times, isn’t it a pleasure?…”

Man Gu step by step approached Fang Hao, his face grim. The sound of the “Words of the Saint” echoed across the entire battle platform. He looked like a villainous brute who had just slaughtered a family of twenty-eight- even sparing no rat — who now recites a death mantra. He seemed oddly out of place.

As the match began, Man Gu swung his Black Sand Iron Hammer at Fang Hao.

Fang Hao swiftly sidestepped, avoiding the attack with grace.

Man Gu leveraged his wrist strength to abruptly change the trajectory of the hammer, sweeping it towards Fang Hao.

Fang Hao hadn’t expected Man Gu to be so wild. Unable to evade the hammer, he swung his paper fan to block the attack. The fan shattered, and he was swept away.

The paper fan was a magic artifact, capable of blocking a fatal attack, so Fang

Hao was not injured.

He collected himself, realizing that this was a tricky opponent.

A miniature whirlwind encircled Fang Hao. As it disappeared, an invisible but very real force field enveloped him.

-Haoran’s Upright Qi?” Fairy Eternity exclaimed. This was the first time she had seen Haoran’s Upright Qi after her resurrection.

Fang Hao was an orthodox Confucian Cultivator, and the invisible force was Haoran’s Upright Qi.

“In the ancient times, Confucian Cultivators and Haoran’s Upright Qi existed too?” Lu Yang asked.

“Of course they did.The author of ‘Words of the Saint’ appeared far earlier than you might have imagined.”

“Did Sage Kong then attain immortality?”

“Don’t know.”

“Don’t know?”

“Saint is not a stage of cultivation, but denotes a state of mind that embodies ‘benevolence’. Spending a lifetime inculcating ‘benevolence’ is the realm of a Saint.”

“The meaning of ‘benevolence’ is vast. Even if I explained it to you day and night for three days straight, I would not finish it. Of course, even I do not have the understanding to expound it for such a length.”

Clearly, Fairy Eternity had an acute understanding of her own intellectual capacities.

Using Haoran’s Upright Qi as ink, Fang Hao wrote in the air- Gentleman, stop. Passage prohibited.

Upon seeing the writing, Man Gu involuntarily halted his stride, his body completely out of control.

This was an extremely rare magic skill amongst Confucian cultivators – the Unity of Knowledge and Action Skill. This skill compels the target to act in accordance with the written command, achieving unity in knowledge and action.

Obviously, this skill wasn’t without limitations; judicious as Fang Hao was, he could only apply the Unity of Knowledge and Action Skill on others within the same realm. Those of a higher realm were naturally immune to it.

Now, to use it against Man Gu seemed perfect.

Fang Hao wrote once again- Do not do unto others what you do not wish done unto you.

By using this quote, if Man Gu wanted to hit Fang Hao, he would first have to hit himself.

Expecting Man Gu to stop after the first command disappeared, he simply swung his hammer toward Fang Hao, frightening him greatly.

“How did you break free from my control!”

“Control?” Man Gu did not quite understand Fang Hao’s words. “Doesn’t this sentence just mean that I shouldn’t do to others what I wouldn’t want done to myself? It isn’t restricting my freedom, is it?”

Fang Hao was so frustrated he nearly spat out blood. The prerequisite of knowing the Unity of Knowledge and Action Skill was understanding the meaning of the phrase, after all, the target was simply a barbarian!

Fang Hao was grazed by a swing of Man Gu’s hammer, causing his blood to flow. He quickly retreated, evading Man Gu’s hammer, and once again wrote- If you want to attack me, you must first attack yourself.

Even though the effect of written vernacular was far less than that of the ancient text, there was no time for these considerations.

Man Gu, wielding his hammer, continued to swing at Fang Hao, unfazed by any control.

Unbelievable! Are you just a primitive man who can’t even read? Fang Hao thought.

It wasn’t until Man Gu, with a jump and a swing aimed at Fang Hao’s head, that Fang Hao noticed—Man Gu was fighting with his eyes shut!

After training with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou for a month, Man Gu had become very nimble. After their two previous encounters, he realized that as long as he didn’t look at the words Fang Hao wrote, he wouldn’t fall for his tricks.

With this logic in mind, he decided to shut his eyes!

As Man Gu’s hammer descended, the referee stepped in and deflected the attack

If this hit had connected, Fang Hao may have ended up never being able to wield his brush to write again.

“Second round, Man Gu wins.”

Qiu Jin’an’s expression darkened. However, he’d been bullied by the nine sons of Seek Dao Sect since he was a child; he was used to sporting sour looks.

Fairy Eternity remarked, “As expected of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, a race born for battle. They’re even capable of fighting with their eyes shut.” “Do you know a lot about the Ancient Barbarian Tribe?” Lu Yang asked. Fairy Eternity answered confidently, “Of course, it’s accurate to say 1 was their teacher once.”

“As you know, the members of the barbarian tribe aren’t particularly bright. They happened to hear about my brilliant wisdom and outstanding intelligence, even amongst the immortals, and invited me to teach at the Barbarian Tribe.”

“Teaching the Barbarian Tribe was hard work. They forgot everything they learnt. What they learnt during the day they forgot by night. Fortunately I, with my remarkable perseverance and patience, finally learnt what it meant to give up.”

“I later changed my strategy and directly instilled my wisdom into their minds and bloodlines, so that even if I didn’t teach them, their intelligence would still reach a level second only to mine!”

Lu Yang sucked in a breath, wondering if he should share this with Man Gu. Suddenly, Lu Yang realized something: as a member of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, Man Gu had never heard of Fairy Eternity.

“Was the Barbarian Tribe’s heritage incomplete, or did someone deliberately erase Fairy Eternity’s existence?”

The world forgetting an immortal, how elaborate was that?
