Chapter 350: Bullied Old Men - 350
When the two palms collided, Ying Xiongs mini cosmic Buddha's palm was dispersed, and Zhou Fans hand stopped moving forward.
Zhou Fan and Ying Xiong flashed around space, leaving Tong behind. It seemed as if they came to an agreement as they only fought with their palms.
One was covered in Buddhist Qi, while the other was covered in Death Qi.
After thirty seconds of fighting in such a way, the two moved back and launched more powerful techniques.
Unlike Ying Xiong, Zhou Fan was severely limited with the techniques he could use, as even a tiny bit of another Qi would be considered cheating.
Soon, Zhou Fan made a bigger move.
"Deathly silence." He said as Death Qi burst from his body and covered the entire area.
Zhou Fan had never bothered much with techniques that affected a large area, but he still knew some.
A giant cube formed with Zhou Fan and Ying Xiong in it. Inside, Ying Xiong felt suppressed by the death Qi and it constantly attacked him.
Soon, he responded with his own large area technique.
"Field of palms." He said as a bunch of golden palms began to appear on the walls of the cube of Death Qi.
It did not give Ying Xiong an advantage, but it managed to cancel out the disadvantage.
Zhou Fan was impressed and began to put in even more effort.
"Death's grip." He said as arms extended from the ground and grabbed at Ying Xiong. Ying Xiong could sense the danger coming from the arms and decided to dodge.
The entire time while they were inside the cube, they had been moving around at incredible speeds and clashing with each other. The appearance of the arms caused quite a bit of trouble to Ying Xiong, who was hit in the shoulder and launched into one of the walls of Death Qi.
Arms extended out and wrapped around him, but the golden palms layering the walls flew off and dispersed the arms.
Ying Xiong turned around and decided to try to escape the cube of death created by Zhou Fan's technique, even if he had to get injured.
Ying Xiong held his hand out like a sword and sharp Buddhist Qi covered it. He slowly cut down the wall like a laser cutter, but Zhou Fan appeared and attacked him from behind.
Ying Xiong decisively covered himself with a bell, using a large portion of his Qi, which blocked Zhou Fan's scythe attacks.
In an instant, Zhou Fan had launched hundreds of thousands of attacks, causing the bell to quickly crack.
Only half a second before the bell was destroyed did Ying Xiong create a hole large enough for him to escape the cube of death.
He instantly shot through the hole. Zhou Fan dispersed the Death cube and chased after Ying Xiong. Surprisingly, just a few moments after escaping the cube, Ying Xiong turned around and used another area technique.
"Field of stars." He said as a large amount of mini stars formed from his Qi appeared.
They did not entrap Zhou Fan like Zhou Fan's death cube had Ying Xiong, as Zhou Fan would not even want to escape, but it provided Ying Xiong a slight boost in power, and even better, a special attacking method.
Zhou Fan entered the field of stars, but just a moment after he did, one of the stars close to him mini-supernova'd and pushed Zhou Fan back.
Although the star was small and not a real star, its supernova was comparable to a normal star.
As he had lowered his cultivation to the 1st level of the inner world realm, it was not something that Zhou Fan could casually ignore.
Zhou Fan had a thousand solutions to such a move, but none of them included death Qi. Zhou Fan lamented his bad luck in not getting to use black hole Qi and stepped out of the star field.
He decided to use even more power.
He raised his hand in a grabbing motion and a giant arm of Death Qi, bigger than a solar system, reached out towards the star field, covering it entirely.
Ying Xiong burst out with an upward thousand fold Cosmic Buddha's palm, but even it only slowed down the arm for a moment.
The Deathly hand closed its grasp over the starfield, and Ying Xiong quickly used all of his defensive measures.
Suddenly, he appeared in a large bubble and backed up. He tripped over an outstretched leg and fell backwards into a pre-prepared pool of water.
The leg, which was owned by the girl in blue, retracted and laughter was heard. Not far from Ying Xiong, Tong was upside down with his head stuck in a large vase.
A hand reached out and Zhou Fan pulled Ying Xiong out of the pool of water.
"You've improved." Zhou Fan said with a chuckle.
"Thanks." Ying Xiong said after a moment.
He tried to rid himself of his wetness, but discovered he was unable to.
He could only stand there soaking wet while two children laughed at him.
He felt his situation was bad for a moment, but when he looked at Tong, he felt that it could have been worse.
"Remember, that's what happens when you bully my niece and nephew." Zhou Fan said with feigned elegance.
"Now." Zhou Fan said as he turned around to the children. "Let's go back to the cosmic sect, and I'll teach you some cool techniques."
"Awesome!" "Let's go!" They said as Zhou Fan held their hands and flew away.
They had a new level of respect for Zhou Fan after witnessing the fight, and felt he was much cooler than before.
As they flew away, Ying Xiong walked over and pulled Tong out of the vase.
When he saw Ying Xiong, Tong's eyes started to well up.
"Master! I am indignant." He said, stopping himself from shedding tears.
"We'll get over it." Ying Xiong said as he tried to maintain an air of elegance and wisdom despite being soaking wet.
Chapter 351: Weapon Selection - 351
Back in the cosmic sect, Zhou Fan and the two children stood inside of the same building that they were melted out of their ice blocks in.
"You two only recently reached the Qi gathering realm, so you won't be able to do anything very cool just yet, but once you reach the foundation establishment realm, I'll be able to show you a couple of cool things." Zhou Fan said.
"First, you two will practice a basic technique. Once you enter the foundation establishment realm, the practice from training this technique will help you with the next technique." Zhou Fan explained.
The two children listened quietly and seriously paid attention.
"You will go first, Lu Zhong." Zhou Fan said as he gestured for the boy to come over.
Zhou Fan created a sphere of dragon Qi in his hands and showed it to Lu Zhong.
"Imitate that." Zhou Fan said.
Lu Zhong struggled for a few minutes as he had never interacted much with Qi, but he soon managed to form the sphere.
"Now, try to move it around. You don't have a lot of Qi, but you should be able to make it rotate around your hands for a few minutes." Zhou Fan said.
While Lu Zhong attempted to do that, Zhou Fan gestured for Feng Liu to come over. He taught her that same thing, but with Ice Qi.
Zhou Fan walked to one of the pillars holding up the ceiling and sat down against it.
"Come over when you've managed to rotate it around your hands for 5 minutes." Zhou Fan said.
After speaking, he fell into a light sleep.
A few minutes later, Zhou Fan was awoken from an ice sphere to the skull.
He looked at the girl who was holding in her laugh and shook his head.
Zhou Fan stood up and stretched before speaking.
"I can't really teach you two anything else for now when it comes to Qi, but why don't we visit a weapon storage. You two will pick your own weapons, unless you don't want to use one." Zhou Fan said.
He remembered when he used a sword, but weapons had quickly lost any meaning to him.
Zhou Fan had spoken to Ying Xiong and gotten a very short explanation about the cosmic sect. There were the houses on the outer ring, teaching buildings, a weapon storage, and a few other places that barely had any use for now.
The weapon storage was made with weapons that Tong and Ying Xiong had made in their spare time, but each one was incredibly powerful, beautifully designed, and masterfully crafted.
There were tens of thousands of weapons in the weapon storage. All of them were far too powerful for the children, so Zhou Fan just planned on allowing them to see the weapons.
Zhou Fan entered one of the few walled buildings in the entire cosmic sect. Although it was merely a weapon storage, it seemed more luxurious than an emperor's bedroom.
Longer weapons such as swords, spears, and poles were put up on the buildings walls, while smaller weapons such as needles, daggers, and small swords were put on top of pedestals.
The moment that the children entered the storage area, they were filled with awe. The weapons put on display only amounted to about a thousand. They were the better ones among the weapons, but there were still tens of thousands of weapons piled up in a back room.
After all, even if Tong and Ying Xiong each made a weapon every million years, 8.1 billion years had passed since Zhou Fan had last seen them. That would amount to 16,200 weapons.
Of course, that was just an example, they surely made more than a single weapon in a million years.
An uncountable amount of weapons had likely been discarded due to them not being up to standard.
As they ran around the storage area, the differences between the two could be seen.
Feng Liu seem to carefully look at every single weapon, while Lu Zhong ran to the flashiest weapon in the room and vowed to make it his.
Zhou Fan made his way over to Lu Zhong while Feng Liu was picking her weapon.
"Here, uncle Zhou Fan!" Lu Zhong shouted as he pointed at a weapon just out of his reach.
It was a golden spear with dragon scales etched into the staff part. The head of the spear was made with a dark black material. The spear was at the 8th rank, or the lesser dao creation realm, and was one of the most powerful weapons in the room.
"That one is no good, take this." Zhou Fan said as he created a spear in a few seconds.
The spear was exactly the same as the one on the wall in terms of appearance, but was only at the 1st rank, or the Qi gathering realm.
"This is a growth weapon. It will get stronger with you as your cultivation realm increases. It won't be hard for it to surpass the one on the wall in the future, and it is much more suitable for you." Zhou Fan said.
Lu Zhong nodded in excitement and held the spear. Zhou Fan secretly took a drop of his blood and put it on the spear, causing the spear to glow and Lu Zhong to feel a connection with the spear.
It wasn't on the same level as Jack's connection, in which he could find his weapon anywhere, but it would still be much more useful in battle, and mastering it would be easier.
Lu Zhong looked funny holding the large spear despite being short, but with the connection he felt, it didn't feel awkward to him at all.
As he was holding in his laugh, Zhou Fan heard Feng Liu announce that she had chosen her weapon.
Zhou Fan and Lu Zhong walked over and saw her pointing at an ice blue fan. She had tried to pick it up, but it did not budge.
Like Lu Zhong's spear, it was at the 8th rank, or the lesser dao creation realm.
