If the first slap was due to Lu Chengfeng’s carelessness, then what about the second slap? Everyone could see that Duan Xiaomo’s Battle Qi wasn’t strong—at most, he was at Level 6 or 7 Battle Qi. However, Lu Chengfeng’s cultivation was at the realm of True Essence, on par with Su Yizhi’s. How could he have been slapped by Duan Xiaomo twice?
While the crowd was in a daze, unable to understand what was happening, Duan Xiaomo attacked Lu Chengfeng again. His two little hands used the Great Fist Skills with great speed.
Lu Chengfeng was getting dizzy from the slaps. The pain was secondary; the key point was that his reputation was being destroyed. Seeing Duan Xiaomo’s relentless attacks, he could not help but want to exert all his cultivation. However, when he started to circulate his qi, he found that his cultivation was suppressed at Level 9 Battle Qi, and he couldn’t even use it under the shackles of this invisible force!
‘Could… could this be the Celestial Area?!’ Lu Chengfeng was so shocked that he could only protect his face with his hands miserably. From time to time, muffled thuds from his body could be heard.
Although Duan Xiaomo’s Battle Qi was only Level 6 or 7, Lu Chengfeng’s strength had been suppressed to Level 9 Battle Qi. Initially, when he was getting hit, Lu Chengfeng forced himself to stay silent, gritting his teeth in pain. However, it eventually got too much and he started howling.
Duan Feiyu’s eyes were about to pop out. Was this little boy, who was making such powerful moves and chasing others around, really his younger brother? And was the guy who was wailing like a banshee really the arrogant Lu Chengfeng, the Lu special guest? If he hadn’t been watching it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming!
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t he lifted the suppression yet?” Ling Chuxi asked in her mind. She could see that Lu Chengfeng had suppressed his strength, but he was already cornered, so why hadn’t he lifted the suppression yet?
“He’s trapped in a Celestial Area, do you think he can lift it so easily?” Cang Yuan scoffed.
“Celestial Area? What’s that? ” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.
“When your cultivation surpasses the realm of Heaven Essence and reaches the Grandmaster realm, you will have the opportunity to cultivate the Core of Martial Path. With this Core of Martial Path, you can cultivate your own martial path area. Unless your opponent’s Core of Martial Path is stronger than yours, you can control everything once the person is imprisoned in the area. That old man has not yet cultivated his Core of Martial Path, so his actions are restricted in the Celestial Area. He can only resign himself to being beaten now,” Cang Yuan explained patiently.
“It’s so powerful! But Xiaomo hasn’t even reached the realm of Great Fulfilment, how can he use the Celestial Area?” Ling Chuxi asked incredulously, unable to comprehend it.
“You forget—he was born with the Celestial Core!” Cang Yuan declared passionately.
“Right, I forgot about that.” Ling Chuxi smiled wryly. One was born with the Celestial Core, and the other was born with the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian. Why was it that she was a ticking time bomb, while others could surpass stages into several realms above?
The gods were really unfair sometimes.
“Frankly, although he is able to forcefully display an area through the Celestial Core, his cultivation is still too weak. Originally, he would not have been able to restrain the old man so easily, but the old man suppressed his own cultivation to a realm closer to his, which allowed him to get trapped easily. Now, as long as the area is not reopened, the old man will never be able to recover his true cultivation,” Cang Yuan continued solemnly.
