Countless monks scattered, leaving the area clear for the two.
Jing Shan wanted to ask them to stop, but he was blocked by the Buddhist Children from the other two temples.
"Junior Brother Jing Shan, do not panic. Although Du Yuan is rash and impulsive, he knows how to gauge the situation. There is no need to worry about the Benefactor getting hurt."
"The aura displayed by that Benefactor is indeed that of my Buddhist Path. I am greatly looking forward to his performance."
Jing Shan, however, shook his head: "I am not worried about Lord Li getting hurt!"
The two Buddhist Children were stunned upon hearing this. If not Lord Li, then was he worried about Du Yuan getting hurt?
From Du Yuan's previous match against Fan Wang, it was clear that Du Yuan's Realm was the Mystic Realm.
Martial Arts could be practiced by anyone, but Buddhist Dharma was not something one could grasp casually.
The opponent cultivated for over forty years to reach the Mystic Realm, making him quite a talented individual within the Buddhist Path.
Perhaps he couldn't compare to these few Buddhist Children, but among the assembled monks, he was definitely considered an outstanding talent.
It wasn't just his Cultivation Technique; the opponent's comprehension of Buddhist Martial Arts was equally outstanding. Recently, he had even grasped a Mystic Realm Martial Art!
How could such an existence possibly lose to a martial artist who was also in the Mystic Realm?
Jing Shan uttered 'Amitabha' and said no more.
He had a very direct understanding of Li Xuanxiao's talent on the Buddhist Path.
After all, he had experienced it firsthand: the opponent grasped Xuan Realm Buddhist Dharma in just three days.
How long did the opponent stay in the Scripture Pavilion this time? Nearly a month, right?
With nearly ten times the time, what level of Buddhist Dharma could the opponent grasp now?
Jing Shan dared not imagine; he only hoped Li Xuanxiao knew when to stop and didn't beat the man until he cried!
The three Buddhist Children, with different thoughts, all looked toward the scene in the arena.
The golden light in Li Xuanxiao's eyes was highly conspicuous, causing many monks to show expressions of surprise.
How could the Buddhist Dharma recorded by the System be trash?
Although 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal' was only Xuan Realm, the exquisite aura contained within was enough to make many monks look at Li Xuanxiao with new respect.
Du Yuan clasped his hands together and said, 'Amitabha'.
His eyes flashed, his hands parted, and he formed a mudra!
Mystic Art—Five Lotus Finger!
Five small lotus platforms appeared out of thin air and shot toward Li Xuanxiao!
Although the lotus platforms were small, the energy they contained should not be underestimated.
Li Xuanxiao was somewhat stunned. The attacking lotus platforms strongly resembled his previous 'Pure Lotus Flower'.
But 'Pure Lotus Flower' was mostly for healing, support, and exorcism.
These few lotus platforms, however, contained the intent of suppression and destruction.
Li Xuanxiao dared not be careless. While one should despise the enemy strategically, one must still take them seriously tactically.
Immediately, he mobilized his true essence!
"Using the 'raft' of Buddhist Dharma to ferry me to the other shore, achieving my 'Buddha Fruit'."
Instantly, the surrounding air seemed to fill with an aura of gentleness and compassion.
Beside Li Xuanxiao, an illusory boat quietly manifested...
Mystic Art—Universal Salvation!
As this technique manifested, the surrounding monks immediately erupted in an uproar!
After all, it was a System production, coupled with the blessing of a Origin Realm understanding of the essence of Martial Arts.
The profoundness and depth contained within this Buddhist Dharma, 'Universal Salvation', had already far exceeded their comprehension.
Even if the temple's Abbot Master unleashed his full power, it would only be this much, right?
The three Buddhist Children, though their expressions varied, could not hide the shock in their eyes.
"What an immensely grand Buddhist aura!?"
"I feel liberation and purity in my soul, an incomparable peace and joy surging within my heart..."
"As expected of Lord Li!"
Jing Shan smiled. This Buddhist Dharma used by Lord Li was clearly one of the most profound within the Mystic Realm!
As soon as this illusory boat appeared, the five lotus platforms shot out by Du Yuan were instantly dissolved as if purified!
The violent and destructive aura emanating from them dissipated into gentle breezes...
Du Yuan's face showed horror. His proudest Mystic Art had been neutralized so easily?
Li Xuanxiao did not care what the other thought.
After dealing with Du Yuan's attack, he immediately returned the favor!
A giant golden palm appeared in the sky! It slammed violently toward Du Yuan!
Du Yuan's pupils contracted. Sensing that the giant golden palm was formidable, he immediately chanted scriptures and displayed a protective Buddhist Martial Art!
Xuan Realm Buddhist Dharma—Vajra Body Protection!
An illusory human-shaped light projection instantly appeared outside Du Yuan's body, protecting his entire person.
This was the most exquisite protective Buddhist Dharma Du Yuan had cultivated, already reaching Perfection.
It had helped him secure victory in several previous matches.
Even in the previous match against Fan Wang, it was because of this Vajra Body Protection that the opponent found it extremely difficult!
He figured it should be more than enough to deal with this martial artist!
The giant golden palm slammed down fiercely, kicking up dust that filled the air and blocked the monks' view.
The numerous monks immediately used their own means—some blowing the dust away, some driving it off, or some dodging the incoming dust—hurriedly looking toward the arena.
They saw that the Vajra Body around Du Yuan's body had shattered, and the giant palm stopped just before his forehead, not pressing down further.
Cold sweat trickled down Du Yuan's forehead. He looked shocked, completely devoid of his previous calm demeanor.
The moment the giant golden palm struck before him, he felt as if the Buddha was beckoning to him...
The door to the Western Paradise seemed to open for him...
How... how is this possible!?
We are both in the Mystic Realm, both using Xuan Realm Buddhist Dharma, why can't I block his attack!
Damn it, who exactly is the Buddhist Disciple?
A terrifying storm surged in Du Yuan's heart, which could not calm down for a long time.
His gaze toward Li Xuanxiao was incredibly complex.
Li Xuanxiao smirked, revealing a devilishly charming smile of a crooked-mouth Dragon King.
He could roughly guess why the other was so shocked.
When he fought Ming Yanxia before, he had the same shock.
They were clearly both at the Pseudo-Origin Realm, yet the opponent's casual normal attacks were outrageously strong!
It wasn't until he himself advanced to the Origin Realm that he understood how much the Origin Realm increased one's personal strength.
The Origin Realm's pursuit of the origin of Martial Arts brought about an all-around boost!
Normal attack equals Martial Art was definitely not a joke!
Following the same logic, if a normal attack is a Martial Art, then Martial Arts must also be elevated to a higher level!
Not to mention that his 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal' had reached the Transcendent Realm!
There was no reason why it couldn't defeat a protective Martial Art that was Xuan Realm Perfection and lacked the Origin Realm boost.
"Benefactor, I lost..."
"You truly have affinity with my Buddha. With such Comprehension Ability and roots of wisdom, I am inferior to you..."
Du Yuan was someone who could accept defeat gracefully. Although he was rude and impulsive, he admitted defeat when he lost and stood straight when he was beaten.
Li Xuanxiao nodded, 'This child can be taught!'
"Lord Li, is the Buddhist Dharma that summoned the illusory boat the one you comprehended this time in the Scripture Pavilion?"
Jing Shan, the young monk, approached Li Xuanxiao with an expression of reverence.
Behind him were two youths who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Their expressions showed that they shared the same curiosity, but they did not speak up voluntarily.
Hearing Jing Shan's question, Li Xuanxiao frankly shook his head: "What I comprehended is even more profound than this Buddhist Dharma!"
'Zen Sea Thunder Sound' was a Origin Realm Buddhist Dharma, a whole Realm higher than 'Universal Salvation'!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
The three Buddhist Children showed even more expectant gazes upon hearing this.
Jing Shan said somewhat awkwardly: "Um... Lord Li, could you demonstrate it for us?"
