Boom!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
The clouds rolled!
As if a giant dragon was twisting its body within.
As time passed, a huge vortex appeared in the middle of the clouds.
Seeing this.
Everyone involuntarily swallowed.
The scene before their eyes was too shocking, making them hold their breath.
The vortex above seemed capable of swallowing the entire Huoyun Cave!
"This is not the Rain Summoning Technique!"
An old man with white hair and beard had a grave expression.
Another old man spoke, "No! This is the Rain Summoning Technique, merely improved by this boy, fused with other spells!"
"To be able to improve a spell itself is already incredible, let alone fuse it with others!"
"This boy has a promising future!"
"He will surely become a great talent in the future!"
Those elder powerhouses spoke one after another, holding boundless expectations for Chen Nan.
"Damn it, what kind of spell is this?"
Gao Jun's face was pale.
Although Huoyun Cave had over a dozen spells, they were all conventional.
None of them could cause such celestial phenomena.
"Isn't this the spell you called useless?"
Chen Nan slowly raised his right hand and grabbed the air!
Swish!
Raindrops fell.
As they fell, they transformed into rain swords!
Ten thousand swords in the sky, exuding a destructive aura.
Giving the visual impression of being able to destroy the heavens and earth!
So much so that many people forgot to breathe.
"Is this guy's strength so strong?" Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
This man had once again made her see him in a new light.
"He fused the Rain Summoning Technique with the Water Control Art!" Elder Wu's face was filled with fanaticism. Both the Rain Summoning Technique and the Water Control Art were considered ordinary spells.
But who would have thought that when these two ordinary spells fused, their power would be so terrifying!
Frankly speaking.
No one below the Foundation Establishment stage could withstand this move!
"Holy crap, Senior Brother Ye is too strong, this move is simply an immortal technique!"
"No wonder the young lady is infatuated with him. It turns out the young lady has a discerning eye and discovered Senior Brother Ye's potential!"
"Let alone the young lady liking him, even as a man, I've fallen for him."
"That's a bit much!"
The crowd below looked at Chen Nan with eyes full of worship and awe.
If his cultivation improvement through elixirs was unconvincing, then the means before them were truly admirable.
Not only did he learn all the spells of Huoyun Cave in just ten days, but he could also improve and fuse them. This was talent!
Extraordinary talent!
Moreover, the spells improved by Chen Nan not only increased in power.
They had also become large-scale destructive spells.
This was what was truly precious.
Frankly speaking, this spell could very well become the top spell in Huoyun Cave!
Chen Nan said lightly, "You can still surrender now!"
Gao Jun roared, "As the personal disciple, how can I surrender to you, a mere ordinary disciple?"
"I will not surrender!"
"I will not surrender even if I die!"
With that, he held his long sword and charged at Chen Nan.
Since he couldn't defeat him in a spell battle, he would kill him at close range!
His speed was fast.
Like a gust of wind!
But!
How could it compare to the speed of Chen Nan casting spells?
He waved his hand.
Swish!
Rain swords appeared before Gao Jun, blocking his path.
At this moment.
The sound of wind breaking in the air grew more intense.
He looked up.
Those rain swords were like a raging storm, rushing to engulf him!
At this moment.
He even felt death approaching!
However, his eyes were firm. He thrust his long sword into the ground, formed hand seals, and cast the Gale Technique.
Whoosh!
The wind roared, blowing from the ground towards the sky.
The Gale Technique blocked the descent of the water swords.
However.
Chen Nan could also cast spells!
"Gravity Manipulation!"
Swish!
Affected by the Gravity Manipulation, those water swords instantly shattered the Gale Technique.
Dense sword energy, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, surged towards the ashen-faced Gao Jun!
"Not good!"
Those elders suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with terror!
The spells Chen Nan cast were too powerful. Cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage could hardly resist them. If they really hit Gao Jun, he would be riddled with holes!
Just as everyone thought Gao Jun was doomed, those water swords instantly turned into raindrops and fell on Gao Jun, making him completely drenched, like a drowned rat!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although no one would have done anything to Chen Nan if he had killed Gao Jun, Gao Jun was, after all, the personal disciple.
If he died, the Sect Master would surely be furious after emerging from seclusion.
The dark clouds in the sky disappeared.
The visibility also recovered somewhat.
The previous scene seemed as if it never happened.
But the drenched Gao Jun proved that what had happened was not an illusion.
"I'm still alive?"
Gao Jun greedily inhaled the air.
He thought he was bound to die.
He never expected Chen Nan to show mercy and spare his life.
Chen Nan asked, "Convinced?"
"Not convinced!"
Gao Jun gritted his teeth and roared, "You only defeated me in spells. To make me truly convinced, you must engage in a close-quarters combat with me!"
The crowd below heard this and felt disdain, even secretly cursing Gao Jun for being a sore loser.
After all, Chen Nan's strength was beyond doubt.
If he hadn't shown mercy earlier, Gao Jun would have died miserably!
"Gao Jun, do you have any shame?" Nangong Wan appeared on the stage in a fury. "Ye Ce just cast a large-scale spell and consumed too much spiritual energy. For you to engage him in close combat is clearly taking advantage of his weakness!"
"Exactly, Senior Brother Ye consumed too much spiritual energy, yet you propose close combat. You are the personal disciple, have you no shame?"
"I thought Senior Brother Ye showed mercy and spared your life, and you should be grateful, but I never expected you to be so ungrateful!"
Although many people were wary of the personal disciple's status.
At this moment, they also spoke their minds.
Some even looked eager to challenge Gao Jun themselves.
The Great Elder said, "Gao Jun, victory and defeat are common occurrences in warfare. There's no need to take the outcome too seriously; it will only harm you!"
"The Great Elder is right. The greatest enemy of a cultivator is oneself, not others! Sometimes, admitting that others are stronger than you is not shameful!"
Fortunately, Gao Jun was the Sect Master's personal disciple, otherwise, these elders would have already started cursing!
But Gao Jun seemed possessed. He tightly gripped his long sword and said, "Ye, do you dare to fight me in close combat? If you don't dare, then get out of the back mountain and don't stay near the junior sister!"
Chen Nan smiled and shook his head. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Fine, fine!"
"Since you want to fight, I will accompany you!"
"Our generation of cultivators fears combat the least!"
"Even if I've consumed some spiritual energy."
"It's more than enough to deal with you!"
"Make your move!"
Gao Jun frowned. "Aren't you using a weapon?"
Chen Nan scoffed, "Why would I need a weapon to deal with you?"
