Chapter 2141: Chapter 1009: Lu Fairy After this battle, Mo Hua gradually gained fame. This fame was not earned by his Formation victories, but by his own spell accomplishments, forcibly achieved at the Sword Discussion Conference. Every disciple of the Qian Taoist Sect could be "crushed" to death by Mo Hua using low-level spells. This shows the extraordinary spell accomplishments of Mo Hua. Of course, strictly speaking, Mo Hua was just an "assistant"; it was Linghu Xiao who cut them down. But though it was Linghu Xiao who wielded the sword. The credit (or blame) was attributed to Mo Hua. Linghu Xiao is a genius. To die at his hands is understandable. Being suppressed to death by Mo Hua with low-level spells is a great humiliation. Quickly, the feeling of being "humiliated" to death by low-level spells spread far and wide. More and more sect geniuses tasted this bitterness. Mystic Fire Sect of the Twelve Streams, Spirit Sound Square. Carefree Sect and Purple Mist Sect of the Eight Great Gates. These four sword discussions were lost to Taixu Gate. More precisely, they were lost to Mo Hua. Their disciples were relentlessly beaten by Mo Hua’s endless and overwhelming low-level Five Elements spells, and they were completely subdued. It’s not that they didn’t think of ways to counter Mo Hua. But if it was just a single Fireball Technique, a single Water Prison Technique, or merely fire and water Two Elements spells, they might have been easier to target. But the myriad Five Elements spells left them at a loss. To defend, they could only consider "spell defense" strategies, refining Spiritual Artifacts like Taoist Robes to counter the spells. However, artifact refining also has fundamental principles. The more singular the targeted spell, the better the effect of the Spiritual Artifact. The more diverse the targeted spells, the worse the effect of the Spiritual Artifact. Mo Hua is a Small Five Elements Spiritual Root, considered a kaleidoscope of spells. Against such "pan-Five Elements," "kaleidoscope" diverse spells, crafting Taoist Robes where something can defend against a bit of everything, equates to defending against nothing. Such Taoist Robes are useless, making it better not to use them. The Five Elements cycle, Five Elements generation and restraint, Five Elements complementing each other, Five Elements as one, also mean there is no truly restraining attribute, no real "weakness." This trump card was revealed too late. It wasn’t easy to counter in a hurry. Plus, Mo Hua, with Divine Thought Twenty Patterns, is fundamentally unlike ordinary Spiritual Cultivators. Therefore, the disciples of Mystic Fire Sect, Spirit Sound Square, Carefree Sect, and Purple Mist Sect had difficulty dealing with his vast array of Five Elements spells in the sword discussion, eventually tasting defeat. Mo Hua’s "enemies" increased significantly. If they only lost because of Mo Hua’s low-level Five Elements spells, they wouldn’t harbor such intense resentment against him. But Mo Hua has a "bad habit": Loves to use Fireball Technique for the final blow. Often after a prolonged battle with opponents exhausted and low on Spiritual Power, Mo Hua habitually throws a little Fireball Technique to "end" them. Consequently, there are more geniuses of Qianxue falling "dead" under his Fireball Technique. These sect geniuses, feeling despair when "ended" by Mo Hua’s Fireball Technique. They truly wish to say: Let Linghu Xiao cut me down with a sword. Don’t kill me with this stupid Fireball Technique! To die under the sword of a genius in Chongxu Sword Dao and to die under a mere Fireball Technique are worlds apart in reputation. All are sect geniuses with recognized faces. To die under the sword of a talented individual is hard to accept originally. Yet compared to the Fireball Technique, that is much more acceptable, even desirable. Dying under the Fireball Technique of a broke Formation Master is truly shameful blood. Unfortunately, Mo Hua is used to this Fireball Technique, and he fails to empathize with their pain. As Mo Hua used the Fireball Technique more, the "sins" of his Fireball Technique became heavier. The grudges increased as well. The most serious grudge was from the sword discussion with Purple Mist Sect. Purple Mist Sect, one of the Qianxue Eight Great Gates, inherits Purple Mist True Skill, a cultivation technique that’s warm, profound, could extend life, and the power isn’t negligible. The previous sect ranking of Purple Mist Sect surpassed Taixu Gate, their disciples were strong. But the problem was, Mo Hua as a spiritual cultivator is very unconventional, with too many wild paths. Purple Mist Sect’s disciples cultivate peaceful and honest cultivation techniques, thus lacking too many tricks, naturally have no good methods to counter Mo Hua’s strange and eclectic "evil monster." In a fierce battle, Purple Mist Sect’s disciples were still toyed to death by Mo Hua’s endless Five Elements spells. Of course, Mo Hua did not win lightly. His biggest issue, still lies in Spiritual Power. His Spiritual Root and cultivation technique doomed him to have a shallow Spiritual Power foundation. This is the biggest drawback of being a spiritual cultivator. Hence, even though deploying low Spiritual Power-consuming low-level Five Elements spells, Mo Hua cannot do so freely. Especially in long-term duels, the more it goes on, the more control over Spiritual Power is needed. Many spells must be meticulously used. Suppressing capability naturally weakens significantly. But no matter how, in the sword discussion with Purple Mist Sect, Mo Hua still claimed victory. He habitually used Fireball Technique to "take" a head, finalized the contest, and as usual, returned to Taixu Gate, prepared for a good meal, rewarding himself, before preparing for the next sword discussion. But upon entering the dining hall, Mo Hua found that the fellow disciples were quietly watching him, their expressions carrying an unexplainable oddness.
