I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 214 - 212: Even the Foreplay is So Domineering

The entire crowd roared with applause as Wang Meng helped Hu Jing down from the stage. It was a good thing Wangg Qing was unconscious; otherwise, the fury alone would have killed him.

Zhou Feng quickly took out a Pill and began channeling his Elemental Power into her. "You’re all more reckless than the last! How dare you force a Magic like that in your condition? Do you have a death wish?!"

"Old Zhou, can you stop nagging and just heal me?"

"You’re out of the rest of the tournament. You have a long life ahead of you. If you recklessly use your Elemental Power again, you are one hundred percent guaranteed to Fall into Demon, and no one will be able to save you!"

Zhou Feng warned Hu Jing bluntly. The willpower of these young ones was commendable, but they couldn’t just throw their lives away.

Hu Jing smiled weakly. "I’ll leave the rest to you all."

The disciples of Thunderlight Hall applauded endlessly. Hu Jing had won their respect and completely conquered their hearts.

"That actually worked... I have to say, Thunderlight Hall is really fighting with newfound confidence. She seized the slimmest, almost impossible, chance."

Qiao Qian shook his head in amazement, a smile spreading across his face. He was truly impressed. She had made the impossible possible.

"They’ve tasted the sweet fruit of seizing an opportunity, so now they’ll never give up, no matter the situation. That kind of mentality is difficult to foster, but once it takes root, it’s truly remarkable. Looking back, it’s clear Hu Jing was baiting Wangg Qing to make a move from the very start."

Jia Shidao narrowed his eyes, thoroughly impressed with Hu Jing’s strategy.

’You have to use your head in a fight, especially when you’re at a disadvantage.’

"This was more than simple baiting; it was an exquisite setup. She forcibly carved out an opportunity from an impossible situation. It required a perfect understanding of Wangg Qing’s personality, his abilities, and the state of the match—not a single element could be missing. And yet, she pulled it off."

"Mm, from a strategic standpoint, Hu Jing is the real mastermind of Thunderlight Hall. With her intellect, combined with Wang Meng’s power and charisma, and backed by a group of fearless followers like Zhang Xiaojiang, Suo Ming, and Zhou Qian... Hehe, the heavens of the Holy Hall are about to shift."

Qiao Qian and Jia Shidao were both keenly interested in the distribution of power within the Holy Hall. Given Thunderlight Hall’s current momentum, regardless of whether they advanced further, they were destined to become a force to be reckoned with. Moreover, Wang Meng was shaping up to be someone who could challenge Ning Zhiquan himself.

Even if his strength didn’t match Ning Zhiquan’s, Senior Brother Ning was due for a promotion. Afterward, Thunderlight Hall was poised to become the strongest competitor to Dao Guang Hall and Lingyin Hall.

Even Wang Meng couldn’t help but marvel. ’This truly is Creation from Nothingness.’

’Sometimes, you have to create your own opportunities.’

’The rest is up to me.’

Wang Meng raised his arm!

The final, decisive battle—a battle that should have been impossible—had been forcibly created by his brothers and sisters of Thunderlight Hall. And now, that moment had arrived once more. What moment was that?

The moment for a miracle.

The instant Wang Meng raised his fist, the disciples of Thunderlight Hall erupted...

WANG MENG~~~~

MIGHTY~~~~~~~~~

The roar shook the heavens. That violent cry of "Mighty!" shattered the inner walls of the Immortal Origin Hall disciples’ hearts. The passion erupted without any warning, and it wasn’t just from Thunderlight Hall—the cry came from countless Holy Hall Disciples in attendance.

It even included the female disciples of Flying Phoenix Hall. Wang Meng hadn’t just defeated his opponents; he had... conquered them!

This was an eruption of condensed longing and anticipation.

Everyone was waiting for Wang Meng, waiting for him to perform a miracle. Suo Ming and the others had risked their very lives waiting for this exact moment.

Just seeing him standing on the Dueling Platform was enough.

Liangyuan and the disciples from the Upper Three Halls never expected a scene like this. Who could have imagined that Wang Meng now possessed such formidable rallying power?

Even with Senior Brother Ning Zhiquan, everyone felt awe and respect, but you couldn’t say they were passionate about him. Wang Meng was different. Everyone genuinely, heartfeltly liked him.

The Holy Hall had never produced anyone like him!

Forget the Holy Hall; the entire Small Thousand World had never seen his like. In the world of Cultivators, passion was synonymous with foolishness, and yet...

All of this was happening right before their eyes.

Liangyuan stood on the Dueling Platform, staring at Wang Meng. ’Why does this seemingly ordinary guy exude the aura of a beast from the Primordial Chaos?’

Liangyuan, however, would absolutely not be swayed by such external factors. His gaze grew increasingly frigid. In fact, he hoped Wang Meng was strong—the stronger, the better. He could use Wang Meng to test his blade.

"Senior Brother Sunx, you’ve arrived." Luu Yun offered a faint smile.

An additional figure had appeared in the Elders’ seating area: Sunx Changxing, a Sword Cultivator Elder from Immortal Origin Hall and also Liangyuan’s master.

Sunx Changxing nodded, his eyes fixed on Wang Meng on the Dueling Platform. "That boy is a natural-born Sword Cultivator."

Luu Yun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly. "With Liangyuan’s strength, even if Wang Meng has reached the Twentieth Layer, he’s still no match for him."

Sunx Changxing smiled. "I have seen many geniuses, but never one like Wang Meng. It’s a shame he started his training a bit late. However, given his current progress, as long as his mentality remains stable, it’s only a matter of time before he surpasses Liangyuan."

"Senior Brother Sunx, you think too highly of Wang Meng. We Cultivators stress tranquility in our training. That boy is high-profile and impulsive, not to mention insatiably greedy, wanting to dabble in everything. As his cultivation deepens, he’ll learn the meaning of spreading oneself too thin. It’s still too early to tell. It is youths like Liangyuan who will truly achieve greatness."

Luu Yun shook her head.

Sunx Changxing didn’t argue. He was well aware of Luu Yun’s stubbornness; one only had to look at the cold shoulder she’d given Zhou Feng for years over a trivial matter to know that.

’But this Wang Meng is definitely not a flamboyant person, and that’s what makes him frightening.’ Sunx Changxing understood this just by watching the way Wang Meng gripped his sword and how his entire demeanor shifted in that instant.

He had to admit that Wang Meng and Li Tianyi were two different types of geniuses, but they were on the same level.

The Broken Heaven Edge appeared in his hand. This was the first time Wang Meng had drawn his sword right at the start of a match. Everyone clenched their fists, sensing that this small change signified something important.

A smirk touched the corner of Liangyuan’s lips. ’So my opponent is wary of my power. A pity his struggles are futile.’

"KILL~~~"

Liangyuan’s long sword radiated a brilliant light, displaying a strength definitely above the Twentieth Layer of Life Mark, and he wielded it with such ease.

His Elemental Power surged, nearly blinding the crowd with its brilliance.

Twenty-Fifth Layer of Life Mark!

Liangyuan had done it!

This reveal was an enormous morale boost for Immortal Origin Hall. Although they knew their Senior had been enduring harsh, secluded cultivation, no one had imagined Liangyuan had actually broken through to the Twenty-Fifth Layer! This was a new record for the Holy Hall.

A massive Sword Slash came crashing down. Its might and domineering aura were on a completely different level.

For Elemental Power, every five layers brought a noticeable boost, and every ten layers was a major threshold. If Liangyuan were only at the twenty-fourth layer, the gap wouldn’t be so vast. But upon entering the Twenty-Fifth Layer, his power would become absolutely suppressive.

’What can be done?’

BOOM...

Wang Meng’s Broken Heaven Edge shot forward. CLANG...

The Sword Qi collided and shattered.

Wang Meng’s hair was whipped back by the force of the Elemental Power. One man, one sword. He didn’t dodge. He met the attack head-on!

KILL~~~~

Wang Meng threw his head back and roared. His figure flickered and vanished, then reappeared directly in front of Liangyuan, bringing the Broken Heaven Edge crashing down.

KILL! KILL! KILL!

CLANG... CLANG... CLANG...

Elemental Power erupted in all directions. After a moment of silence, the entire arena erupted in a deafening roar. This was the first time Wang Meng had taken the offensive.

He had taken the offensive! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
