Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

(TL Note: Another extra thanks to someone else buying it. Their username is their full name so I’m not sure if i should put it here as I don’t want to dox them.)

Aside from the side effect of turning people bald, Arhat Fist is the supreme fist technique of the Buddhist sect.

Previously, Lu Yang was concerned about accidentally injuring Lan Ting, so he hadn’t used it. Now that his clone was dealing with Lan Ting, he could face Bai Ming himself and freely unleash the Arhat Fist.

“Let’s see how you control two bodies at once!” Bai Ming was certain Lu Yang couldn’t manage both bodies simultaneously. His sharp spear thrust forward like a shining star in the sky.

Lu Yang calmly focused on the spear’s tip, his body emitting a hollow, resonant sound as if a Buddha were chanting, spreading mercy to all beings.

His fist struck out, thunderous and forceful, smashing into the spear with the momentum of a battering ram, sending rippling waves through the air like ink spreading in water.

“Arhat Fist!”

Clang—

The spear quivered, emitting a metallic ring, while Lu Yang’s fist moved gracefully along the spear’s length, closing in on Bai Ming.

Bai Ming put his full strength into his waist, aligning his body and spear, trying to pull back. But Lu Yang’s continuous strikes with the Arhat Fist kept the spear trembling, making it impossible to maintain a firm grip.

Bai Ming sensed danger. He had been guarding against Lu Yang’s divine abilities, but he hadn’t expected that Lu Yang’s bare-handed combat would be so fearsome.

Seeing the fist about to strike him, Bai Ming quickly formed a hand seal with his left hand. A sharp wind blade descended from above like a guillotine, aiming to slice Lu Yang in half.

Bai Ming used the distraction to evade, but he was still grazed by the Arhat Fist.

“What a heavy punch!” Bai Ming was shocked. He was fortunate to have dodged; the force of that punch was immense. Even a glancing blow left him injured—taking it head-on would have been far worse.

He couldn’t afford to be hit again.

Suddenly, several strands of black hair fell, startling Bai Ming. Before he could react, more and more hair started falling.

Wait, could this be…

Bai Ming instinctively touched his head, his face changing dramatically: “Where’s my hair?!”

Seeing his hair scattered all over the ground, Bai Ming glared furiously at Lu Yang.

“Combining martial arts and magic—you’ve perfected the integration so well that even I got caught!” Bai Ming forced himself to remain calm and analyze the situation, trying not to lose his composure.

Meanwhile, more and more cultivators were arriving at the arena to watch the battle.

“Hey, who’s that bald guy? Wasn’t it said that the Hanging Temple didn’t send anyone?”

“I heard something about an Arhat just now. Is this bald guy claiming to be an Arhat?”

“That’s fake; he doesn’t even have the discipline marks on his head.”

Bai Ming, hearing the discussions from the audience, could no longer hold back his anger and shouted, “Lu Yang, you forced me into this! Five Elements Rotating Spear Technique!”

“Five Elements Rotating Spear Technique? He even learned that?” Elder Kang exclaimed.

“What’s the Five Elements Rotating Spear Technique?” the surrounding people asked.

“It’s a spear technique created by an ancestor of the Five Elements Sect who was adept in the Five Elements arts, combining these arts with spear techniques. Mastery of both is required to learn it. I never expected this disciple of the Five Elements Sect to have reached the qualifications to wield it.”

“I always thought he had the characteristics of a Five Elements Golden Core, but the Five Elements Golden Core shouldn’t have this level of offensive power!”

“Shining Gold!” The spear moved like a dragon, striking toward Lu Yang with unbelievable speed and overwhelming force.

Lu Yang stepped forward boldly, his voice resonating like a Buddha’s chant, his aura swallowing the heavens as he once again used the Arhat Fist to clash head-on with the spear. The violent shockwaves spread in all directions.

His fists were like anvils, his energy surging, and his strikes exuded a fierce momentum.

The collision of fist and spear left the onlookers astounded. Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators’ expressions changed; they lacked the confidence to withstand such high-frequency attacks.

“Is this really just early-stage Golden Core?”

“I’ve always heard that immortal sect disciples defy conventional wisdom, and seeing it today confirms it!”

“Those ancient geniuses were probably no different from this.”

“Even in an era of great competition and countless prodigies, it would be difficult to find talents who can rival them!”

For the first time, Bai Ming encountered a cultivator of the same realm who could withstand his Five Elements Rotating Spear Technique.

He sneered coldly and struck the arena floor with his spear. A dragon made of earth rose from the ground like a tsunami, roaring towards Lu Yang.

Lu Yang used Shrinking Earth to launch a sneak attack on Bai Ming from below. Bai Ming, his divine sense fully deployed, clearly saw Lu Yang’s movements and thrust his spear downward.

“There you are!”

To Bai Ming’s surprise, he witnessed Lu Yang’s body suddenly shrink, allowing him to dodge the attack.

“Big or Small As You Wish?!”

Although Bai Ming had anticipated that Lu Yang might use various divine spells, seeing him use Big or Small As You Wish was unexpected. Normally, spells were part of a systematic learning process—mastering one could lead to learning others of a similar nature.

However, Lu Yang’s abilities—Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth, Shrinking Earth, Big or Small As You Wish—and the strange hair loss spell Bai Ming had never even heard of, had no clear connection.

“So what!”

Bai Ming stabbed eighteen times in rapid succession, but Lu Yang dodged each strike. As he prepared for the nineteenth thrust, his body suddenly sank, and darkness enveloped him.

Bai Ming hadn’t noticed that when he struck at the shrunken Lu Yang, Lu Yang had circled around him.

Just enough to cast the spell Draw a Dungeon.

“Another unknown earth spell!” Bai Ming couldn’t stand being outclassed in Five Elements spells. He tried to break through the ground with another spell, only to be met with a solid punch from Lu Yang.

“Draw a Dungeon!”

Once again, Lu Yang trapped Bai Ming in the dungeon.

Bai Ming tried to keep his composure. Since he couldn’t escape directly, he decided to dig his way out from another angle. As he half-emerged from one spot, he heard Lu Yang’s voice from above.

“Draw a Dungeon.”

Back to square one.

“Earth Dragon…” Bai Ming formed a seal with his hands, attempting to summon an earth dragon.

“Draw a Dungeon.”

Bai Ming’s body shuddered as he vanished and reappeared in the same spot, his spell interrupted.

“This isn’t an earth spell—it’s a space spell!” Bai Ming finally realized the problem.

“I don’t believe it. Earth Dragon—”

“Draw a Dungeon.” Lu Yang squatted on the ground, drawing circles and watching Bai Ming with his divine sense. Every time Bai Ming made a move, Lu Yang would cast Draw a Dungeon to interrupt him.

After several failed attempts, Bai Ming gave up.

“Fine, I concede!”

Left with no other option, Bai Ming admitted defeat. When he emerged to the surface and saw Lu Yang’s smiling face, his frustration only grew.

“If it weren’t for your faster casting speed…”

Bai Ming gritted his teeth, feeling constrained by the speed at which he could cast his spells. The earth techniques he had learned were large-scale attacks that required more time to cast.

If he could have cast his spell before Lu Yang used “Draw a Dungeon,” he would have been able to escape and continue the fight. The outcome would still be uncertain.

Lu Yang said nothing, recalling the strategy provided by the Invincible Core earlier: Bai Ming’s spear technique is just a façade; the root of his attacks lies in Five Elements spells. His moves are fundamentally based on these spells, which enhance their power when combined strategically. Do not give him any opportunities.

It is recommended to use Arhat Fist to provoke him, causing him to lose his composure. This creates an opening to use “Draw a Dungeon,” trapping him underground. Forced to rely solely on earth spells, you can exploit your faster casting speed to continually disrupt his attempts, leaving him with no choice but to surrender.

This is the most efficient and effortless strategy.
