Chapter 1629: Not As Good As Letting Me Try

"Luo Xuanqing is no match!" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the scene unfold.

"This young man from the Grand Scholar Hall can make the spatial gyroscope stand for a few seconds, which indicates that his mastery of space is not far from achieving the True Spatial Seal. Luo Xuanqing is still a long way off. Moreover, the martial arts they practice are not on the same level, so his defeat is only a matter of time!" Luo Ruoxi nodded.

The Hundred Schools of Thought possess countless experts and received personal transmissions from Master Kong. Their powerful martial arts are innumerable, just as strong as, if not stronger than, those of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters. No matter how profound the Luo family's martial arts are, they certainly cannot compare.

Zhang Xuan acknowledged and continued to watch the stage.

At this moment, Mo-er, feeling the pressure, made his move. He made no superfluous movements, simply extended his finger forward and lightly tapped.

*Whoosh!* The space around Luo Xuanqing seemed to be sealed. No matter how hard he tried, it had no effect. He could only be seen continuously launching attacks, yet not a trace of energy seemed to spill out.

"This is a spatial martial art called 'Sealing Mirror Art'!" Luo Ruoxi recognized it and said.

"Sealing Mirror Art?"

"It seals a person within a special space, as if trapped in a mirror! When someone looks into a mirror, no matter how powerful or fierce the attacks are within the mirror, they cannot break through the mirror surface to attack the cultivator in front of it... This set of martial arts uses this principle, applying spatial power to completely seal off a person. Not to mention attacking, they can't even escape!" Luo Ruoxi's expression was grave. "Although it can't compare to your Spatial Seal, it achieves a similar effect!"

"It's certainly extraordinary, but... if he's sealed within the mirror, he can't attack you, and you can't attack him either, right?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

This martial art, while impressive, has a significant drawback. Although the person inside the mirror cannot attack the cultivator in front of it, the cultivator in front also cannot harm the person inside the mirror. In other words, you seal them, but inflict no damage, rendering the effort futile.

Spatial Seal, however, is different. With spatial imprisonment, a person can still move, making it easy to kill the opponent.

"It's true you can't attack, unless you destroy the mirror surface... However, suddenly using it in battle and controlling the mirror means controlling the initiative, which still gives a significant advantage!" Luo Ruoxi said.

"That's true..." Zhang Xuan didn't refute it.

Controlling the mirror allows one to decide when and where it shatters. This diversifies attacks, making it impossible for the person inside the mirror to guard against and difficult to resist.

"This Sealing Mirror Art is indeed good, but it's not that easy to trap Luo Xuanqing!" After expressing his thoughts, Zhang Xuan continued.

Before his words had faded, Luo Xuanqing, still in the mirror, saw his hair rise, and a special power spread across his body. His aura became like that of a dragon and a tiger, and he slammed his palm forward.

*Shatter!* The mirror surface shattered.

"He burned his bloodline!" Luo Ruoxi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Given her strength, she could naturally see that Luo Xuanqing, trapped inside, knew that the opponent's mastery of space far surpassed his own. He could no longer hold back and used the power of his bloodline.

Although his mastery of space was inferior to his opponent's, as soon as his bloodline power activated, his sensitivity to space immediately increased greatly. This allowed him to shatter the mirror surface and attack Mo-er opposite him.

*Boom!* Their palms collided, and strong gales swept through.

The floor of the high platform cracked in numerous places, forming countless spiderweb patterns.

"Luo Xuanqing lost..." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"His opponent's spatial comprehension is stronger than his, their cultivation is higher, and their martial arts are more powerful. He really couldn't win..." Luo Ruoxi also sighed.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Luo Xuanqing on the stage was seen staggering back seven or eight steps. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body swayed uncontrollably, and he could no longer bear it, collapsing onto the ground.

"Teacher!" After defeating Luo Xuanqing with a single palm, Mo-er acted as if he had done something insignificant. He clasped his fists, turned, and returned to his place, his face serene.

"Young Master Xuanqing..." An elder rushed forward, gave Luo Xuanqing a medicinal pill, and infused some *zhenqi*, which allowed him to recover slightly.

The injuries and after-effects of burning his bloodline left his limbs weak, completely drained of strength.

"I have disgraced the family's dignity; please punish me..." His face ashen, Luo Xuanqing took a few steps to his father's side and knelt on the ground.

"Get up. You're not to blame for this..." Luo Qianzhen seemed to age ten years in an instant.

He had always believed that, having received the inheritance, the Luo family's mastery of space, if not invincible under heaven, was at least unrivaled. He never dreamed they would be publicly defeated and utterly routed in the very area they specialized in.

With his discernment, he could see that this person named Mo-er only used spatial martial arts, not other powers. Losing like this, there was no way to deny defeat.

"Yes..." Luo Xuanqing's face was filled with humiliation.

It was one thing to be unable to defeat Zhang Xuan at the same level, but he never expected to be unable to defeat even these people... His previous air of superiority had now completely vanished, leaving not a trace.

"Father, what should we do now?" Clenching his fists, he couldn't help but ask via telepathy.

Although his strength was only at the Void Realm, his pure bloodline made him one of the peak existences among the younger generation. Even others under a hundred years old, despite having higher cultivation, might not be able to defeat him in battles of the same caliber.

Even he, fighting against their weakest opponent, was in such a sorry state, without any chance of winning... There was even less hope for anyone else.

"Now... unless your sister makes a move!" Luo Qianzhen said after a moment of hesitation.

Currently, the most proficient person in spatial mastery within the Luo family was none other than his own daughter! Although refining the Serene Space Pearl hadn't led her to comprehend the True Spatial Seal, her control over space was just as strong as, if not stronger than, his own.

"Ever since the Zhang family left, she's locked herself in her room and hasn't come out..." Luo Xuanqing's face darkened.

As her brother, he could feel the depth of his sister's feelings, but to be publicly repudiated in marriage and then have her fiancé turn and leave with another woman... the blow was simply too great. She was still shut in her room, refusing to come out.

"At a critical juncture for the family, she can't afford to act temperamental. Go call her out..." Shaking his head, Luo Qianzhen said.

"Yes!" Nodding, Luo Xuanqing was about to move when he heard Nangong Yuanfeng on the side give a faint smile. "Patriarch Luo, if all your clansmen possess this level of strength and spatial comprehension, I advise you not to let them come up and make a fool of themselves. No matter how many more come, it will be useless! If there's no one stronger, just concede directly; that would at least save your Luo family some face..."

"You..." Hearing the opponent's blunt words, Luo Qianzhen was about to explode with rage and was about to retort when a faint voice from below the stage rang out: "It's just a competition; why don't you..."

Immediately after, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion slowly flew out from the crowd. "...let me try!"
