Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

Tang Tian still had a deep impression of Nie Wushuang.

She had outstanding talent, excellent strength, and meticulous thinking.

During the flag-capturing battle at that time, although she did not dominate the entire field, if it weren't for Tang Tian, she would have undoubtedly obtained the king's flag.

After being cultivated by Mo Xiaoxiao, Nie Wushuang has made tremendous progress, incomparable to before.

From a certain perspective, Mo Xiaoxiao's judgment of people is very sharp.

"Then let's begin."

Tang Tian smiled.

The battle instantly unfolded.

Nie Wushuang still went all out, just like before.

Countless long swords burst forth in an instant, forming a massive sword formation that swiftly traversed the arena.

In the next moment, all the long swords changed direction and stabbed towards Tang Tian.

Just like last time, Tang Tian lightly raised his hand, and all the long swords immediately stopped in mid-air, as if time had frozen.

However, this time, he did not successfully take control of the long swords.

Nie Wushuang seemed to have anticipated this situation in advance. She instantly changed her move, and her main sword emitted a dazzling light, while the other long swords trembled madly and changed direction, flying towards the main sword.

In less than a breath's time, all the long swords gathered together, forming a massive Celestial Immortal Sword.

At the same time the Celestial Immortal Sword formed, the momentum unleashed by the sword hilt Nie Wushuang held pushed the immortal sword straight towards Tang Tian.

The immense power pierced through the air, creating visible ripples.

"Not bad, you've improved."

Tang Tian faintly smiled and raised his hand, slowly pushing forward.

The air in front of him instantly solidified, forming an invisible and sturdy wall.

In the next moment, the immortal sword collided with the wall.

"Boom!"

A loud roar resounded above the arena, and a wave of energy swept through the entire venue. Some weaker disciples couldn't even stay seated and fell from their seats.

After getting up, their faces were filled with fear.

"So this is a genius."

"He's really strong!"

People exclaimed in astonishment and looked at the arena once again.

The Celestial Immortal Sword was indeed extraordinary. Even though Tang Tian had erected an air wall in front of him, it was still gradually approaching under Nie Wushuang's control.

But unfortunately, when it was about half a meter away from Tang Tian, it couldn't move any further.

The entire sword body made a crisp sound, indicating that it had reached its limit.

Tang Tian faintly smiled and pushed forward another half an inch.

The massive Celestial Immortal Sword finally couldn't bear it any longer.

With a "boom," it exploded.

However, what surprised everyone was that the Celestial Immortal Sword did not shatter into pieces. Instead, it turned into a shower of light, filling the space above the arena.

Even more astonishingly, even Nie Wushuang herself disappeared and seemed to have merged into the shower of light.

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, a drop of light rain suddenly enlarged at the edge of his body, turning into a thin blade as light as a cicada's wing, silently stabbing towards Tang Tian.

Unfortunately, when it was about to pierce Tang Tian's body, a hand holding a teacup appeared in front of it.

"Ding!"

The tip of the sword was tightly held by Tang Tian's two fingers, unable to move forward at all.

Then, Tang Tian lightly flicked his finger, sending the short blade flying away.

In mid-air, the short blade grew larger against the wind and unexpectedly transformed into Nie Wushuang's appearance.

She took a few steps back and ultimately couldn't stabilize herself, kneeling on one knee and spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face pale to the extreme.

That move just now was her all-out strike, staking everything on it.

"You've improved so quickly."

Tang Tian sighed lightly.

Just now, Nie Wushuang used the exploding Celestial Immortal Sword to hide herself in the shower of light, and then launched a full-force attack at close range.

She almost managed to damage Tang Tian's clothes.

It was truly terrifying!

Nie Wushuang didn't speak. After a long time, she slowly stood up.

Her face was still pale, but she still clasped her hands in a salute to Tang Tian.

"Thank you."

After saying that, she slowly walked down the arena.

As he watched her figure disappear, Tang Tian caressed the tea cup in his hand, pausing slightly.

Because, he had actually felt a slight dampness.

After taking a closer look, he realized that although he had easily blocked Nie Wushuang's full-force attack, he had still suffered a bit of damage.

The faint crack on the tea cup was proof of that.

This crack instantly shattered the slight complacency that Tang Tian had developed after winning dozens of consecutive matches.

"I came out too early!"

"If someone can damage the tea cup in my hand today, tomorrow someone will be able to sever their own throat!"

"After returning this time, I must at least advance the Way of Ten Thousand Laws to a higher realm, fully cultivate the Phoenix Secret Technique, and then consider coming out again..."

Tang Tian thought to himself.

He really didn't know how other geniuses would feel if they heard his thoughts...

After Nie Wushuang, two more elite disciples chose to challenge.

After that, no one volunteered to go up.

And because of the incident with the tea cup, Tang Tian lost the motivation to continue.

So, the free challenge came to an end.

It was certain that he had passed.

After returning to the high platform, when Chi Yuan saw that Tang Tian's expression was off, he asked, "Old Jin, what's wrong?"

Tang Tian let out a long sigh. "I feel like I'm still too weak."

"I was almost blinded by temporary victory, but luckily I woke up in time."

"I must double my efforts from now on!"

Chi Yuan: ???

Damn! Do you even listen to what you're saying?

You participated in the challenge, sat in a soft chair, drank tea, and defeated dozens of elite geniuses of the same level in seconds. And now you're reflecting on how weak you are?

I'll bring those geniuses over here, and you can say it again in front of them!

Chi Yuan was a bit confused, not knowing what Tang Tian was thinking.

Even Elder Li Tianhua couldn't help but look at him with astonishment.

In his eyes, Tang Tian embodied all the shining qualities of an outstanding disciple.

Talent, strength, wealth, and a strong sense of responsibility towards the sect.

He remained humble and calm, even after achieving such a great victory. His first thought was self-reflection.

This was simply...exaggerated!

Elder Li shook his head. Unfortunately, Tang Tian was an honorary disciple, and the rules of the sect couldn't be easily changed because of one person.

He could only hope that after entering the Cloud Summit Palace in the future, Tang Tian would truly shine.

Because inside the Cloud Summit Palace, there wouldn't be such a big difference in treatment between honorary disciples and other disciples.

After Tang Tian's challenge ended, it took a while before other disciples stepped onto the arena.

This time, all five arenas were opened, entering the formal selection of core disciples.

But because Tang Tian's performance at the beginning was too explosive, the following battles seemed lackluster and uninteresting.

Tang Tian sat on the high platform, watching absentmindedly.

He saw Nie Wushuang, who despite being injured, still displayed fierce techniques and easily defeated her opponent.

He also saw Gong Chi, who threw a bunch of spirit plant seeds and toyed with his opponent.

He even saw Lin Yue, the once proud girl, now faded and in a very poor state.

Tang Tian quickly looked away. From the moment he crossed over, there would be no intersection between them.

The challenge with thousands of people usually lasted for several days. After watching for a while, the Elder and other high-ranking members gradually left.

Tang Tian also left with Chi Yuan, formally handing over Li Hong and the others to him.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Chi Yuan made a promise.

Without further conversation, Tang Tian bid them farewell and returned alone to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Sitting under the old locust tree, listening to the trickle of water flowing from the ancient well, Tang Tian's heart was incredibly calm.

The selection tournament was just a small episode for him.

Apart from revealing a bit of his strength, there weren't many benefits.

He didn't take the so-called "kindness" of the higher-ups too seriously.

What was most important to him at the moment was still his cultivation, consumption, and advancing in the Way of Ten Thousand Laws.

These were the core elements of his survival in this world.

After a long time, Tang Tian took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

That distant peak.

He must reach the top!
