Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Peerless spear technique, a skill bordering on the Dao!

Jiang Jichen was serious.

If he brought out his spear, Ye Rou would be forced to retreat.

And Ye Rou was at the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm.

Her bloodline talent was unparalleled, and she even possessed a top-tier Supreme Dao Platform. She was on a completely different level from the likes of Nangong Wanyu and Qiao Hee, whom Jiang Jichen had previously encountered.

In fact, Ye Rou alone could easily slaughter an entire group of Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators like Nangong Wanyu.

Her combat prowess was utterly terrifying.

At Jiang Jichen’s current Realm, he was absolutely no match for her.

But Jiang Jichen had no intention of fighting her head-on!

He could see that Ye Rou was an incredibly proud and supremely confident woman.

Especially when it came to her own Spear Dao, she was confident that she was invincible among her peers.

The Ye Family’s Heavenly Dominating Spear Technique was unparalleled, astounding the world.

And Ye Rou was the most talented person the Ye Family had seen in a thousand years.

Especially in the art of the spear!

At such a young age, she had already cultivated the Heavenly Dominating Spear Technique to the Great Success Realm.

And yet, Jiang Jichen actually wanted to compete with her in Spear Technique?

It wasn’t just her; even the Cultivators from all corners of the Mortal World thought they had misheard.

It was simply inconceivable, utterly unbelievable!

"Jiang Jichen... after learning a bit about him, I have to admit he’s extraordinary. But competing with the Silver Spear Goddess in Spear Technique? All I can say is... heh..."

"In the Mortal World, when it comes to Spear Skill, the Heavenly Dominating Spear Technique is number one. And Ye Rou has already cultivated it to the Great Success Realm. In terms of just Spear Skill, Jiang Jichen isn’t even worthy of carrying the Goddess’s shoes, is he?"

"Jiang Jichen is too arrogant. Of all the things to compete in, he chose to challenge Goddess Ye in her strongest area. Is he suicidal?"

...

As everyone came to their senses, they began to discuss animatedly.

Meanwhile, the Silver Spear Goddess, Ye Rou, stood there gracefully, her pair of straight, perfect, and sensual long legs incredibly eye-catching.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jichen’s dead-serious expression.

She confirmed that this unfamiliar Spirit Infant Cultivator wasn’t joking. He really wanted to compete with her... in Spear Technique.

Compete in Spear Technique?

’How long has it been since someone dared to challenge me?’ The Silver Spear Goddess, Ye Rou, had forgotten.

Or rather, in this Mortal World, there was no one left among her peers worthy of her using the Heavenly Dominating Spear Technique!

Ever since she turned twenty-five and her Heavenly Dominating Spear Technique reached the Great Success Realm, no peer could withstand three of her spear strikes in a contest of Spear Skill.

’But now, this Junior Cultivator at the Spirit Infant Realm, who appeared out of nowhere, wants to compete with me in Spear Technique?’

"Miss Ye Rou, could it be that you... don’t dare?"

Jiang Jichen’s voice was faint, devoid of any emotion.

But those two words, "don’t dare," made Ye Rou’s beautiful phoenix eyes narrow. She spoke coldly, "When it comes to competing in Spear Technique, there is nothing I, Ye Rou, do not dare to do. But you... are you qualified?"

Ye Rou was very proud and spoke bluntly.

Her phoenix eyes were like two cold spears, staring directly into Jiang Jichen’s eyes.

’She’s testing me, transforming her gaze into a spear and condensing her Spear Intent to see if I’m qualified.’

’If he can’t even withstand the Spear Intent in my gaze, there’s no need to compete. I’ll just kill him.’

This was Ye Rou’s intention!

But Jiang Jichen was fearless, facing her calmly.

At this moment, his mind was empty, his consciousness ethereal, like a gentle breeze between heaven and earth.

’No matter how sharp and peerless your Spear Intent, I remain ethereal and formless.’

His mind was as vast as the great sea; its capacity made it immense. Therefore, no matter how strong the Spear Intent in Ye Rou’s gaze was, Jiang Jichen could dissipate it into nothingness.

What Jiang Jichen was displaying at this moment was also a form of Spear Intent.

The only difference from Ye Rou’s was that one was offensive, and the other was defensive!

Seeing that Jiang Jichen could dissipate the Spear Intent in her gaze into nothingness, a look of astonishment finally flickered across Ye Rou’s stunningly beautiful face.

Jiang Jichen gazed at Ye Rou and said, "So, am I qualified now?"

Deep within, Ye Rou felt a stir, a hint of excitement and anticipation.

Her Spear Dao had been stuck at the Great Success Realm for too long, unable to break through.

In truth, the reason was simply that she had never met an opponent whose Spear Technique was not inferior to her own.

’Spear Technique must be comprehended through battle!’

Ye Rou’s entire aura changed, as if she had transformed into a divine spear pointing at the heavens.

Every inch of her body exuded an incomparably sharp Spear Intent.

Her Jade Hand gripped her spear as she said with a solemn expression, "I will suppress my Cultivation to the Spirit Infant Realm so as not to overwhelm you with a higher Realm. I only hope you can take a few of my strikes. Don’t... disappoint me!"

Jiang Jichen laughed heartily and said heroically, "My spear will not disappoint. I can give you what you want!"

"Then draw your spear!" Ye Rou shouted coldly, her battle intent beginning to radiate from her body.

With a casual wave of his hand, Jiang Jichen summoned a dark black longspear into his grasp.

This spear was called the Nether Wheel Spear. It was a Mid-Tier Celestial Level Spiritual Artifact that had belonged to a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator!

’With a spear in hand, the world is mine!’

Jiang Jichen’s aura also changed dramatically, his heroic spirit soaring boundlessly, spanning heaven and earth.

Behind him, Hua Xiaoling and Yee Youmeng had already retreated to the edge of the Ancient Stone Plaza, with Grandma Turtle naturally following them.

They both trusted and understood Jiang Jichen completely.

If he wasn’t confident, Jiang Jichen would never have taken the initiative to challenge Ye Rou to a duel of Spear Technique.

The surrounding crowd was shocked. They never imagined that the Silver Spear Goddess, Ye Rou, would actually agree to a duel of Spear Technique with Jiang Jichen.

And so, the crowd exploded into an uproar!

"Jiang Jichen is guaranteed to lose, there’s no doubt about it. So, the question is, how many strikes can he take from our Goddess Ye Rou?"

"That’s easy to solve! How could we pass up an opportunity like this without a betting pool? I just sent word to the biggest casino in Human Emperor City. They’ve agreed to be the bookmaker, and the odds have already been sent out. Look!"

"Let’s see... For Jiang Jichen to not even take one strike, two-to-one odds. One strike, three-to-one. Two strikes, five-to-one. Three strikes, ten-to-one. Four strikes, twenty-to-one... seven strikes, a hundred-to-one! The odds get scarier the higher you go. Holy crap, there are even odds for a draw or a win? A draw is three hundred-to-one, and a win is a thousand-to-one! I’m gonna piss my pants!"

"This is just a joke. Who would bet on Jiang Jichen getting a draw? A win is even more impossible! For Jiang Jichen, taking three strikes from Goddess Ye will be his absolute limit!"

"That’s right. But I’m only supporting the Goddess. That piece of trash Jiang Jichen won’t even be able to take a single strike from Goddess Ye, haha..."

"Based on Jiang Jichen’s past battle records, I think it’s possible he can take two strikes. I’ll bet on two!"

...

Around the Ancient Stone Plaza, as the betting opened, people rushed to place their wagers.

But everyone only bet on the first few options. The highest anyone bet was on him taking six strikes; no one even bet on seven.

Needless to say, no one bet on Jiang Jichen drawing or winning!

Hua Xiaoling was furious when she saw this.

Just then, she suddenly heard Jiang Jichen’s voice transmission: "Bet on me to win. Bet everything you have!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s voice transmission, Hua Xiaoling’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

She immediately took out all the Spirit Stones she had on her.

It was a total of ten million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones!

And this was only because she had previously spent one hundred million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones on a Spirit Fusion Stone. Otherwise, Hua Xiaoling would not have hesitated to bet a hundred million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones.

But even so, the sum of ten million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones still shocked many people.

What left them even more speechless was that this beautiful woman was actually betting on Jiang Jichen to win.

That was a complete impossibility!
