583: Chapter 583 Xiao Weiqing's Strength

"My God!"

Leibo stared at the mountaintop in shock, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Is this Xiao Weiqing trying to destroy Yunjing Mountain?"

Morei swallowed hard.

He gazed at the giant golden blade that had lingered over the mountaintop for a long time, unable to speak.

Ailar was the same; she could feel her own heartbeat.

She knew Xiao Weiqing was strong—after all, he had defeated Morei—but she never expected Xiao Weiqing to be strong to this extent.

Ze remained expressionless, but the Battle Intent exposed in his eyes was undisguised.

Even Ashamoli, who had been standing to the side with almost no presence, revealed an inexplicable expression, clearly shocked by Xiao Weiqing's strength.

"He won, he actually won."

Leibo looked at the leaderboard, feeling a bit jealous.

Was he unhappy, or just displeased?

Morei sighed lightly. "Losing to Xiao Weiqing is not a grievance."

Ailar also sighed with emotion: "Looking at it this way, Xiao Weiqing's strength is even greater than Givens and Lotte."

"Hmm, the strength gap between 20th and 11th place isn't that big."

"Xiao Weiqing defeated No. 17, and judging by the time, it wasn't a bitter struggle. Theoretically, he is stronger than both Givens and Lotte."

"He is definitely stronger. From the start of the engagement to the end, it took less than a minute. It was clearly a one-shot kill," Leibo asserted.

"It's possible."

"I just don't know which of the top ten Xiao Weiqing will challenge next."

Leibo asked: "Is the next battle against the top ten?"

Ailar explained: "Since Xiao Weiqing defeated the nearly hundredth-ranked Cloud Mirror Guard No. 17 so cleanly and decisively, the next battle will definitely be against the top ten, and they will let Xiao Weiqing choose for himself."

Mountaintop.

The just-defeated Cloud Mirror Guard No. 17 reappeared.

"You may challenge the top ten."

"Please choose?"

Xiao Weiqing sheathed his blade. "I want to know the strength of the top ten."

"You may."

"The top five, Cloud Mirror Guards No. 1, 2, 4, and 5, possess Peak Second-Level Domains. No. 3 has an Acquired Special Physique."

Xiao Weiqing's heart sank upon hearing this.

Just based on these, his chances of winning were slim.

Of course.

It wasn't to say there was no chance, since he hadn't fought them yet.

But for the sake of credits, it was safer to challenge the ones further down.

Since the System allowed him to challenge the top ten, it was highly likely he could defeat the 10th place.

For now, it was better to focus on earning credits, and next month he could fight the top few to see exactly how big the gap was.

"What about 6th to 10th?"

"Cloud Mirror Guards No. 6, 8, and 10 also have Second-Level Domains, but they are slightly weaker than the top five."

"No. 7 has an Acquired Special Physique. No. 9 has a Third-Stage Perfection Dharma Body, one step away from achieving a Special Physique."

Xiao Weiqing was silent for a moment, then asked: "If I challenge and fail, what will my final ranking be?"

"11."

"11?"

Xiao Weiqing felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Correct. Your strength has already been recognized, surpassing Cloud Mirror Guard No. 11, which is why you are allowed to challenge the top ten."

"Even if you fail your next battle, your final ranking will be 11th."

"Fine, I challenge No. 7."

If No. 17 hadn't told him about the guaranteed 11th place, he would have played it safe and challenged No. 9 or No. 10.

But now that he had a safety net, No. 7 wasn't impossible to fight.

"Decided?"

"Yes."

"Very well, please go ahead."

After speaking, Cloud Mirror Guard No. 17 vanished into the mirror behind him.

Xiao Weiqing's figure slowly rose and arrived in front of Mirror No. 7.

"Yo~ Yo~~"

"Look who it is, daring to challenge yours truly?"

A mocking voice rang out.

A Short-haired Youth in white appeared in front of the mirror, bare-handed.

Xiao Weiqing: "..."

Compared to the previous Cloud Mirror Guard, this No. 7 in front of him seemed a bit different.

"Don't misunderstand. That sentence was left behind by Colin. Every person who comes to challenge me will automatically trigger that sentence," Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 explained.

"Who is Colin?"

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 replied: "That's the white-haired guy ranked 7th."

"If you defeat me, you can also leave a sentence for the people who come to challenge you later. You can encourage or mock them, but you cannot engage in personal attacks."

Xiao Weiqing was surprised. "That's interesting."

"Then, let's begin."

"That white-haired guy might be unreliable, but his strength is no joke," Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 warned.

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow.

This Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 was truly quite different; the level of anthropomorphism was very high, and it seemed to even have a trace of emotion.

"Come on."

The broken ten thousand calamities appeared in Xiao Weiqing's hand, and he stood ready.

"Kill!"

At the word "Kill," the Aura of Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 changed drastically, becoming incomparably cold.

Boom~

He stepped into mid-air, causing ripples in the space.

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 transformed into a streak of white lightning and rushed toward Xiao Weiqing, throwing a punch from a hundred meters away.

Rumble~

Like a thunderclap, the terrifying punch's Protective Aura materialized.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Weiqing snorted coldly and slashed the ten thousand calamities in his hand forward.

"Clang~"

The punch and the blade collided hard in mid-air.

"What a heavy punch."

Xiao Weiqing loosened his grip on the hilt; the web between his thumb and forefinger ached faintly.

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 threw another punch, his powerful body running through the air, leaving behind trails of afterimages.

"Boom~"

Another punch, landing squarely on Xiao Weiqing's chest.

Fortunately, Xiao Weiqing blocked it with the ten thousand calamities in time.

Even so, the force of the punch vibrated through the weapon into his chest, shaking his internal organs.

At this moment, Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 was bathed in white Protective Aura, his physique ballooning to five meters.

His exposed muscles were knotted and full of power, resembling a god of war.

"Use your full strength, otherwise you won't have a chance."

"That white-haired guy's Heavenly Stellar Battle Body is no joke," Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 said to Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing's expression turned cold.

"That's just what I intended."

With a thought in his mind, he shouted in a low voice:

"Dharma Image!"

It was silent.

With Xiao Weiqing as the center, thick Source Power erupted, condensing around him without dissipating.

At the same time, his Sea of Consciousness surged.

The power of his Divine Soul was as vast as the sea, projecting outward.

A golden giant, a hundred meters tall, appeared on the top of Yunjing Mountain.

In front of the golden giant, Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 looked like an infant.

"Hmm?"

"What kind of Starry Sky Ultimate Technique is this? Or is it a Dharma Body, or perhaps a Special Physique?"

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 asked in confusion.

"Why don't you try it and find out?"

Xiao Weiqing smiled grimly and took a step forward.

"Slash!"

A hundred-meter blade Aura slashed down instantly.

"What a fast blade!"

"With such a large size, not only did the speed not slow down, but it actually got faster."

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 was shocked; this defied common sense.

"Clang~"

Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7 did not dodge or evade, throwing two punches in succession to neutralize the impact of this blow.

"Slash again!"

"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~~~"

The ten thousand calamities in his hand became a blur, slashing out a dozen times, all of which were blocked.

"Hahaha~"

"Exhilarating!"

Xiao Weiqing felt a bit of pleasure, slashing again and again, like playing whack-a-mole, hacking away at Cloud Mirror Guard No. 7.

"Come again!"

"Come again~"

Xiao Weiqing was completely crazed.

It was the first time he had encountered such a durable opponent, an opponent who allowed him to fight freely and unleash everything.

At the foot of the mountain, the few people waiting were all dumbstruck.

They stared at the mountaintop in disbelief, at the golden giant looming in the clouds.

Every blade stroke carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, making them recoil in fear.

If they put themselves in that position, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to block a single blow.

"Is this fake?"

Leibo muttered.

"Is this Xiao Weiqing's true strength?"

Morei felt lingering fear, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

No wonder.

No wonder Dekar intervened during the Ascension Battle.

Now that he thought about it, if Dekar hadn't intervened, he might have been hacked to death by a single blade strike.
