He managed to master a curse-type fist technique on his own? No, should it be called a curse-type spell? Even the well-informed senior brothers were astonished.

The path of curses falls under karma. Karma and time are universally recognized in the cultivation world as some of the most difficult divine abilities to comprehend, learn, and solve.

Unexpectedly, this Junior Brother Meng, so young, managed to master such a cruel curse technique on his own.

Youre asking whether its a fist technique or a spell? Its clear you didnt pay attention in Eldest Senior Sisters classes! A Spirit Transformation Stage senior brother looked disdainfully at the Nascent Soul Stage junior sister who had just exclaimed.

Such ignorance. How do you expect to advance to the Spirit Transformation Stage in the future?

The Nascent Soul Stage junior sister stammered. Outside, she was highly regarded, known for her knowledge and respected as a talented woman. But in the Dao Seeking Sect, these accolades were meaningless.

Who dared to claim they were knowledgeable in the Dao Seeking Sect?

Eldest Senior Sister has repeatedly emphasized not to draw too clear a line between fist techniques and spells. Fist techniques are techniques, and spells are techniques. All ten thousand techniques ultimately converge. If you separate them too distinctly, how can you achieve mastery in all techniques in the future?

Its because many people have this mistaken understanding that they end up being defeated. They might possess very powerful spells, far stronger than their opponents, but if their opponents manage to get close, they cant effectively defend themselves and get defeated.

Cultivators who specialize in spells fear close combat the most. They spend a long time honing their spells, often neglecting their physical strength. If they get entangled in close combat, not only do they lose the chance to use their spells, but they also cant ensure their own safety.

The Spirit Transformation Stage senior brother earnestly taught, So the best state is to use fist techniques to perform spells. This way, whether in long-range spell duels or close combat, there are no weaknesses, right?

The Nascent Soul Stage junior sister nodded. It made sense. Although she was diligent, practicing both fist techniques and spells, and didnt neglect either, she realized she needed to reflect more on herself after hearing her senior brothers words.

Eldest Senior Sister even praised Junior Brother Lu Yang, saying he achieved this point, showing signs of mastering all techniques. Hes much stronger than you or me.

Although we dont know to what extent Junior Brother Lu Yang has achieved this, being praised by Eldest Senior Sister means he has certainly made significant progress in this area!

While the senior brothers and sisters took turns challenging Lu Yang, acknowledging his talent was a different matter.

Lu Yang, Peach Blossom Leaf, and the others were astonished to see Meng Jingzhou achieve enlightenment and comprehend a fist technique that could cut off someones lineage..

This technique was unbelievably ruthless.

The most shocked was Qin Yanyan.

Before coming to Dao Seeking Sect, she had been somewhat proud, thinking that she was merely slightly behind Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou in cultivation speed. If she worked hard, she could catch up.

She was two months older than Li Haoran, and their cultivation levels were the same. Li Haorans talent was enough to rank him in the top ten of the younger generation, and she wasnt far behind, fully qualified to become a disciple of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

She had Su Yirens guidance, so she didnt see the need to join the Five Great Immortal Sects.

She believed that even if there was a gap between her and the top young talents like Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, it wouldnt be too large. She thought she could learn something by watching from the sidelines.

Now she realized there was no chance of learning anything.

No wonder her father, with the purest fire Spirit Root, could only rank fifth among his peers.

The top four were indeed difficult to surpass.

Moreover, the first-place cultivators Arhat Fist made people lose hair, and the second-place cultivators Single Curse Fist condemned people to lifelong singleness. Were these techniques from the Dao Seeking Sect or the Hanging Temple?

Everlasting Fairy, witnessing Meng Jingzhous fist technique, sighed, So this is what they mean by each generation produces its own talents, each dominating for hundreds of years.'

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, looking conflicted. The poem was recited correctly, but he felt it didnt quite fit the context here.

Does this fist technique have no limitations? Peach Blossom Leaf was puzzled. Barbarian Bones Ancestral Spirit Core was within reasonable limits, not synchronizing with the ancestors cultivation. Could Meng Jingzhous fist technique disregard cultivation levels?

Wouldnt everyone run away at the sight of him?

Eldest Senior Sister looked at Meng Jingzhou, who was proudly standing on the arena, for a moment, then shook her head lightly and explained, Its not as exaggerated as you think.

Meng Jingzhou is at the Golden Core Stage, so his fist technique can only affect cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and below, and he must be wary of backlash.

Backlash?

Yes. Take Li Haoran as an example. His fiance is Su Yiren, a Unity cultivator. Their marriage bond is not something that can be easily broken by ordinary means.

If Meng Jingzhou tries to use the Single Curse Fist on Li Haoran, he would face backlash because he cant break Li Haorans marriage bond.

What would happen to Meng Jingzhou if he suffers backlash? Lu Yang was curious. Would Meng Jingzhou end up being single himself?

In that case, wouldnt backlash or no backlash be the same?

Eldest Senior Sister calculated and said, He might lose his karma connection with women for a period. This means he wouldnt be able to interact with any women during this time, being kept away from them by various coincidences, or women might be kept away from him.

The Single Curse Fist sounded highly restricted and risky due to the backlash, but when you think about it, who else besides Li Haoran has a Unity Stage fiance at a young age?

Li Haoran, listening on the side, was puzzled. Isnt the biggest backlash of Meng Jingzhous fist technique the fact that people will hunt him down after he uses it?

Lu Yang:

Lu Yang thought he had a point. Meng Jingzhous fist technique couldnt kill anyone, but anyone hit by it would likely seek revenge relentlessly.

Earlier, Meng Jingzhou said his fist technique was an innate ability of his Golden Core. Ive never heard of a Single Golden Core having such a technique, Li Haoran wondered. He had read many experiences about forming Golden Cores, which included descriptions of Single Golden Cores.

Lu Yang pointed out the flaw in Li Haorans thinking. Youve got it wrong. Meng Jingzhou didnt form a single Golden Core but an unprecedented two.

Li Haoran: ???

Lu Yang continued, The fact that previous Single Spirit Root predecessors didnt comprehend this fist technique shows that their singleness wasnt as profound as Meng Jingzhous.

Lu Yang, youre slandering me again! This is clearly a sign of my exceptional talent! Meng Jingzhou jumped down from the arena, glaring at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang shrugged, pretending he hadnt said anything.

Barbarian Bone slowly woke up, looking around the noisy surroundings in confusion. Did I lose?

He had no memory after summoning his ancestors to possess him.

Lu Yang sincerely said, Your ancestors were worried about losing their only descendant, so they conceded.

Huh? Barbarian Bone blinked, not understanding what had just happened.

Did Brother Meng use underhanded tricks like Monkey Steals the Peach to win?

(TL Note: Monkey Steals the Peach is a martial arts technique where someone squeezes/attacks their opponents testicles)

That couldnt be it.

Lu Yang, come with me, Eldest Senior Sister said and then headed straight back to Heavens Gate Peak.

The Dao Seeking Sect disciples who had been watching the battle dispersed. Some went back to cultivate, some to the library to read, and others to meet their junior sisters, each with their own business.

Lu Yang jogged to keep up with Eldest Senior Sister.

Eldest Senior Sister, did the fairys kitchen get moved back?

Yes.

In the spiritual space, Everlasting Fairys eyes lit up.
