I Can Replicate Martial Arts

Since he could copy it, Zhao Rui didn’t hesitate. He charged forward and engaged several of the Mutant Rabbits.

These Mutant Rabbits were incredibly fast, and their execution of the Cultivation Technique was just as swift. In a matter of minutes, the entire technique had been successfully copied.

Zhao Rui activated it instantly. He felt as if the entire world had slowed down. Even the Mutant Rabbits, which had been as fast as lightning before, now seemed sluggish and within reach.

The effect of this Cultivation Technique wasn’t just on speed, but also on the body’s agility and reflexes.

Previously, when Zhao Rui used his Sword Light Technique, he was fast, but it was ultimately just a technique for travel.

The Dipper Step allowed him to move laterally in tight spaces, but it was merely a dodging Body Technique. Now, with this Soaring Cloud Body Technique, his overall combat speed had taken a quantum leap.

He no longer needed to rely on the Dipper Step to evade his opponent’s high-speed attacks.

With the boost from the new Cultivation Technique, dealing with the Mutant Rabbits became a breeze for Zhao Rui.

However, he didn’t let on. Instead, he continued to fight the strange creatures, maintaining a stalemate.

In contrast, most of the other duelists were struggling to cope. The rabbits were so fast that it was difficult to land a killing blow, and after a few exchanges, the fighters would often get bogged down in a tangled mess.

These duelists were also trying to snatch the Exotic Treasures on the ground, and with their attention divided, their combat effectiveness was further diminished.

The entire scene descended into chaos.

The Ninth Celestial Venerable glanced at the other Celestial Venerables, his figure flickered, and he flew off toward the distant mist.

Zhao Rui’s eyes sharpened. He pushed the Soaring Cloud Body Technique to its limit, quickly broke free from the entangled Mutant Rabbits, and discreetly followed.

Just after he left, several other duelists noticed the disappearance of the Nine Celestial Venerables and the others. They all used their own methods to break away and hurried toward the mist.

One after another, they vanished into the mist, leaving the remaining duelists still bogged down in their fight with the Mutant Rabbits and their attempts to grab the Exotic Treasures.

"Third Brother, this is the lair of the Huntian Boar. Everyone be careful. I expect First and Second Brother will be along shortly."

The Ninth Celestial Venerable stared into the depths of the mist, his gaze burning with intensity. The aura around him surged, forming a column of energy dozens of feet high that seemed to scorch the surrounding air.

His burly frame levitated into the air, his piercing eyes filled with an imposing aura. From a distance, he looked like a living god-fiend.

As his aura surged, the others with him also unleashed incredibly powerful auras. This energy pushed the dense fog away as they gradually flew deeper in.

Zhao Rui tailed them from a distance, not daring to get too close. He also circulated his True Qi to form a barrier, isolating himself from the mist of unknown composition.

The Spiritual Qi here was dense, which meant that any poisons in the area would naturally be more potent as well.

Just as he was cautiously following, two points of light suddenly appeared in the distant mist, gradually growing brighter.

The light had a sinister red hue and slowly came into focus. It was a pair of eyes.

"GRR!"

With a low roar, a massive figure was revealed. Its shape was bizarre, with two tusk-like objects on either side of its head that were spinning rapidly.

"The Huntian Boar!"

The Ninth Celestial Venerable was stunned. His presence flared as he shot forward, sending a voice transmission: "Tie it down! Don’t let it attack from a distance."

As the Ninth Celestial Venerable spoke, his fist tore through layers of space, unleashing a vast and mighty power as it smashed directly into the Huntian Boar’s body.

It was the first time Zhao Rui had seen him strike with his full power. The concentration of force was terrifying; a single punch stirred ripples in space along its path.

One could only imagine the terrifying might of a punch that could cause space itself to ripple.

Just as Zhao Rui was watching, heart pounding and utterly dumbfounded by the punch, something completely unexpected happened. The blow landed on the Huntian Boar’s body, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean—it vanished without a ripple.

’What is this...?’

Zhao Rui couldn’t imagine how the Huntian Boar had done it.

No matter how tough its hide was, it shouldn’t have been able to withstand such a blow so easily, without even a dent.

But the reality before him was that even though the punch had landed, it had had no effect whatsoever.

All of the force had simply vanished.

The Ninth Celestial Venerable seemed to have anticipated this, so he wasn’t surprised. He simply continued to swing his fists, his figure flashing through space as he relentlessly bombarded the beast’s body.

The other two accompanying Celestial Venerables didn’t just stand by and watch. They joined the attack, striking at the Huntian Boar as well.

"GRR!"

The Huntian Boar thrashed its body, shaking its head violently as it tried to bite them.

But the three of them were too fast, their Body Techniques too swift. They didn’t give it any chance to retaliate.

After fighting like this for a while, the three Celestial Venerables suddenly dodged away. At the same time, they each threw an object that struck the Huntian Boar.

Three explosions went off with a BANG. The Huntian Boar seemed to suffer some kind of hidden wound. Its expression suddenly contorted in agony, and its body went rigid.

Immediately after, an endless storm of fists seemed to erupt from within its body, causing its frame to bulge and contort violently.

"ARRGH!"

The Huntian Boar let out a mournful cry as blood began to gush from its mouth and nose.

"Now’s our chance!"

The three of them instantly unleashed their power, sending streaks of cold light that transformed into sharp blades hurtling toward the Huntian Boar.

The Huntian Boar knew it was severely injured and didn’t dare to take the attack head-on. It spat out several rings of light, then turned and bolted into the mist.

It didn’t even bother to see if the rings of light could stop the blades.

"After it!"

Seeing this, the three of them immediately gave chase, disappearing into the mist one after another.

Zhao Rui didn’t dare hesitate and quickly followed. But the mist here was extremely strange; it could absorb Divine Soul Power, limiting his Divine Soul’s range to just over ten meters around his body.

Any farther than that and it would be restricted.

Following the auras of the three men and the beast, Zhao Rui gave chase at top speed. In a short while, he burst out of the mist and into a place vibrant with life—a beautiful, sunlit spring scene with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

There was no sun here, yet it was as bright as day.

The moment Zhao Rui’s figure emerged, he felt ten Divine Thoughts probe toward him simultaneously.

Zhao Rui’s eyes narrowed as he halted. With a calm expression, he looked into the distance and saw ten figures, all similar in dress and appearance, performing Hand Formulas to suppress the Huntian Boar on the ground.

Blood flowed from the Huntian Boar’s massive, savage maw, but its eyes were still defiant as it let out low roars.

"Delays breed trouble. Everyone, put your backs into it! We need to finish off this Huntian Boar before the Demonic Chrysalis emerges."

As the leader’s voice fell, the ten figures’ Hand Formulas became even more rapid.

Zhao Rui frowned slightly at the sight.

’What are they really after?’

Just as Zhao Rui stood there, unmoving, a heaven-shaking roar echoed from the distant horizon.

The sound was incredibly powerful; a single roar could have come from countless kilometers away.

"The Demonic Chrysalis is here!"

The Ninth Celestial Venerable turned his head to look, a rainbow-colored light glowing in his eyes as he peered through the vast distance, his gaze locking onto the approaching entity.

"Little brother, come and help! We’ll cut you in for a share of the spoils afterward."

Now that Zhao Rui had revealed himself, the Ten Celestial Venerables would not simply ignore him.

’Since he can’t be avoided, I might as well make him an ally.’
