My Master Knows It All

583: Chapter 195_4 583: Chapter 195_4 “Xiang Ziyu excels in enduring battles, yet Four Senses Child had cast a Secret Technique that prevents prolonged combat!”

“Indeed, Secret Techniques have their duration, they can’t be maintained indefinitely.

Moreover, the longer a Secret Technique is used, the more severe the backlash becomes.”

“Actually, Xiang Ziyu doesn’t even need to continue clashing with Four Senses Child.

If I were Xiang Ziyu, I would opt for evasive combat, merely stalling for time.

Eventually, Four Senses Child would defeat himself without Xiang Ziyu lifting a finger.”

“That’s why you haven’t become a genius like Xiang Ziyu.”

“Xiang Ziyu is intentionally engaging in battle, he is using this to temper himself!”

“Temper himself?

But there’s no need to sustain such serious injuries.

Even if he wins with his injuries, his Healing Divine Powers, no matter how miraculous, won’t heal his wounds by tomorrow.

He’ll still be eliminated.”

“Therefore, opting for evasive combat would be the right choice!”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Four Senses Child’s breath had already begun to noticeably weaken, giving the impression that his Scale Armor was about to come off.

“Bang!”

Xiang Ziyu landed a heavy punch on Four Senses Child, the impact resonating with a sound akin to a collision between two towering, majestic mountains.

The scales on Four Senses Child’s body visibly caved in to the extent that was detectable to the naked eye.

The next moment, the area of scales hit shattered abruptly, splitting in two.

His body flew far backwards towards the edge of the arena, continuing to sail through the air.

Today, only one arena was in use for battle, and the Array it had only protected the stage—not casting a light barrier at the edge to prevent someone from flying out of the arena.

Four Senses Child, like a kite with its strings cut, flew out of the arena, crashing heavily onto the ground between the arena and Gao Shan, producing a thunderous roar upon impact.

Even standing atop Gao Shan, everyone felt the ground shake beneath their feet.

The ground that was struck was upheaved with endless dust and debris soaring into the sky, and amidst a cloud of dust, a gaping, bottomless crater had been created, as the earth fractured in all directions like a spiderweb.

The arena was protected by a Formation, but the earth outside did not have such protection.

This was merely the result of Four Senses Child being struck and falling to the ground—if the land had been hit directly by their Divine Skills, one could only imagine the horror!

In the depths of the crater, all the scales on Four Senses Child had dissipated, whether due to the expiration of the Secret Technique or because of Xiang Ziyu’s strike.

“Gurgle!” Four Senses Child abruptly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood, his face completely devoid of color.

Raising his eyes to look towards the arena, at Xiang Ziyu whose injuries seemed not much better than his, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

He had actually lost!

Even after casting a Secret Technique, he was still defeated!

Initially, his descent from the mountain was merely to exchange pointers with others, to let them see just how outstanding the disciples of the Four Senses elder were.

It so happened that the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty was holding the Immortal Martial Conclave, and his master directly ordered him to participate.

Ever since he entered the conclave, he had only one goal—to claim the position of State Preceptor!

But now, he had lost before even reaching the top eight, forfeiting his eligibility for contention for the position of State Preceptor.

The only thing left to fight for was a spot among the top ten Immortal Generals.

However, with his current condition, he feared even that position was out of his reach.

But he did not regret it!

His defeat had indeed brought shame to his sect, but given the chance to fight again, he would still choose to cast the Secret Technique, to face Xiang Ziyu with all his might.

An opponent like that deserved his all-out effort, even at the cost of internal injury, even if it meant withdrawing from the Immortal Martial Conclave!

In his mind surfaced again the words his master spoke before he descended the mountain.

His master had said his talent was second only to that of all his disciples.

Before, his master had another disciple whose talent was even more exceptional—his second senior brother.

In fact, the first person to make a name for himself as Four Senses Child outside was not him, but his second senior brother.

Yet few knew of his second senior brother’s existence because on his first battle after descending the mountain, he had died!

Killed at the hands of the remnants of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.

Even though his master avenged him by pursuing the perpetrator for thousands of miles and killing them, it was too late—his second senior brother was already dead.

His master said he, like his second senior brother, had astounding talent, but also shared the same flaw of being too proud.

Therefore, his master hoped that by descending the mountain this time, he would face some setbacks and grow quickly.

After all, his master was destined to slumber soon, and after his master and eldest senior brother went into their slumber, the future of their sect would rely on him.

His master believed that only through setbacks could he grow rapidly.

And now…

This battle—he realized he was also defeated by his own pride, thinking his Divine Skills were superior, assuming that his Secret Technique made him invincible, believing from the start that he would win.

It was his pride that led to his downfall.

The bewildered expression on Four Senses Child’s face gradually faded.

He propped himself up from the ground with his hand, struggling to stand upright, then looking in the direction of Xiang Ziyu, he said, “I am defeated, you are stronger than me.

But I will seek you out again after we both break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

I will find you again for another battle.”
