Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Jiang Weishan punched and kicked repeatedly, striking Zhou Bai again and again. His whole body radiated golden light as he unconsciously pushed his strength to its limit.
On the other side, Zhou Bai lay on the ground, his fists launching blow after blow, colliding with Jiang Weishan’s attacks.
To test their body refinement progress, neither used any offensive techniques or spells; they simply clashed with brute force. Muscles impacted muscles, bones smacked against bones, as though two iron-headed kids were going at it.
"Um, how should I put it?" Christina, licking her fur, thought: "It’s a bit like finding a cockroach in the kitchen that you can’t stomp dead no matter how hard you try. Kind of gross, but at the same time, so powerful... What a curious feeling."
But the onlookers clearly didn’t think so.
Watching the two clash like thunder, seeing Zhou Bai not stepping back an inch and fighting Jiang Weishan to a draw, both Zhao Xiu and Kuang Tu were utterly astonished at Zhou Bai’s current physical strength.
Zhao Xiu said, "When did Zhou Bai become so powerful? He can match Brother Jiang Weishan’s physical strength? Does that mean he caught up to two years of Jiang Weishan’s body refinement efforts in less than two months?"
"It’s not just that," Kuang Tu said, his eyes shining with amazement. "Zhou Bai is only at the 0th Realm (actually, it’s Christina), and here he is, competing in body refinement progress with the 2nd Realm. Unheard of, unseen. What kind of divine or immortal blood has he awakened? Erlang, the Manifest God? Or the Victorious Fighting Buddha?"
Jiang Weishan let out a sharp cry and pushed his strength to the utmost. His primordial spirit’s energy crazily poured into the Vajra Fetus Barrier, his entire body gleaming as his palm fiercely collided once more with Zhou Bai’s fist.
Yet under this strike, Jiang Weishan felt as if his palm had hit a mountain. The furious power that could blast a truck to smithereens was useless against a huge mountain, and instead, he had to bear the same magnitude of recoil force.
A surge of shockingly strong reverberations came rushing toward him, causing Jiang Weishan’s palm to feel somewhat numb.
’When did Zhou Bai’s body refinement become so strong?!’
Unlike Jiang Weishan, who had to use his cultivation and bodily resilience to withstand the impact,
Zhou Bai was having a much easier time, looking like a mountain simply lying there. He didn’t need to activate much of his cunning or primordial spirit’s power. Lying down, his defensive power naturally soared.
As they continued to collide, Zhou Bai felt that Jiang Weishan, this muscle tyrant, was absurdly tough, but he was no longer suppressed like before.
’I can’t break his defense.’
’But he can’t break mine, either.’
’My defensive power is almost on par with that of second-realm pinnacle Jiang Weishan?’
’I thought there would be some gap. Is this the effect of the Primordial Dao Treasury?’
Thinking this, Zhou Bai burst into loud laughter. "Thrilling! Bring it on!"
Saying this, his fists created a series of afterimages as they bombarded Jiang Weishan without any hesitation.
Jiang Weishan’s expression changed. He could only keep up with the pace, but felt that every collision brought an impact that his muscles and bones endured, growing increasingly uncomfortable.
On the other side, Zhou Bai became more exhilarated. After reaching a 15% transformation ratio, it was his first time enjoying such wild attacks. Like a Mountain fully engaged.
He could even feel, with his primordial spirit’s power, countless energies around him surging towards his body, along with mysterious forces from the void, all emerging from his body’s surface to help him resist Jiang Weishan’s attacks.
’So that’s how it is, Like a Mountain uses various energies from the environment for defense? No wonder I don’t feel much when I get hit.’
A portion of Like a Mountain’s secrets unfolded before Zhou Bai. These were aspects he hadn’t sensed before reaching a 15% transformation ratio.
’Maybe once I fully grasp the secrets of Like a Mountain, even standing, I’ll possess the same formidable defensive power.’
Using one’s power to defend on one side, and employing environmental forces for defense on the other.
Although Jiang Weishan and Zhou Bai had nearly identical defensive power, their endurance was worlds apart.
In each collision, Jiang Weishan quickly felt his Primordial Spirit power being continuously drained, his muscles softened, and his blood Qi began to decline.
But Zhou Bai seemed unbothered, charging at Jiang Weishan time and again like a tireless machine.
"So that’s it, Zhou Bai, this guy, has always had strong recovery abilities, but now his Body Refinement progress is almost equal to mine, I can’t let this drag on."
"I have to decide the winner quickly," Jiang Weishan thought with a shudder, "Otherwise, I’ll be dragged into defeat."
Then, they saw Jiang Weishan shout out loud, pressing his palms together with a solemn face as strands of golden light wrapped around his body, his defensive power and physique abruptly increased once again, almost reaching the limit of what the second realm could achieve.
Zhao Xiu was startled: "Primordial Spirit transformation, that’s an ability of the second realm."
In the first realm of cultivation, Qi Realm, the Primordial Spirit becomes active, greatly enhancing various abilities, and gaining a protective Gang Qi.
This content is taken from freёwebnovel.com.
In the second realm, Polar Realm, one contacts the mysterious link between the body and the Primordial Spirit, temporarily transforming the body’s power to strengthen Primordial Spirit power, and vice versa.
By the second realm, even if the body has but a breath left, one could use Primordial Spirit power to revive; various divine figures also showed more tendency towards the body or Primordial Spirit, marking a greater disparity in combat power.
And now, Jiang Weishan was continuously transforming Primordial Spirit power into physical strength, crazily enhancing his own body.
Kuang Tu accurately assessed the situation: "Although Jiang Weishan’s defensive power is similar to Zhou Bai’s, Zhou Bai’s stamina and recovery are too strong. He’s worried that dragging it out is unfavorable for him, so he directly used Primordial Spirit transformation."
They then saw Jiang Weishan, after using Primordial Spirit transformation, charge at Zhou Bai with explosive momentum, with punches, palms, kicks, and feet raining down on Zhou Bai like a violent tempest.
Jiang Weishan’s Primordial Spirit power had reached the pinnacle of the second realm, as he crazily transformed his nearly 2999 points of Primordial Spirit power into physical strength, pushing his physique to the limit.
Zhou Bai immediately felt an immense pressure, especially from the gap in Primordial Spirit power, which forced him to step back until he was outside the designated area.
Zhou Bai shook his head: "Your Primordial Spirit power is too strong, I still get pushed back even if I block it."
"It’s just that I have a higher Primordial Spirit power than you, yet your Body Refinement progress is already catching up to mine," Jiang Weishan said as the golden light around him retracted and faded, his originally bronze skin gradually returning to its normal state, and he took a deep breath, feeling his body incredibly sore.
Jiang Weishan outwardly maintained an air of composure, showing politeness to his junior, but inwardly he was roaring:
’This freak, to be able to fight fists with me like this in the zeroth realm? If it weren’t for the last resort of enhancing my body with Primordial Spirit transformation to push him out, the result would have been uncertain... Though I only used the Vajra Fetus Barrier, if I had gone all out, using other martial techniques, I could have won more easily... But it’s still too exaggerated, the progress of this guy’s Body Refinement, truly too exaggerated.’
On the other side, Kuang Tu walked up and directly threw a punch with twenty percent of his strength at Zhou Bai, which Zhou Bai caught steadily. Kuang Tu’s eyes lit up: "Good, Zhou Bai, you said you had a breakthrough just now, I didn’t believe it, but could it be true? Tell me, how did you break through? For our future Body Refinement classes, you should train just like that."
"It’s just that the level of Daoization increased a bit," Zhou Bai casually replied, and continued, "But as for the Body Refinement class, I really don’t want to participate anymore."
"What?"
Zhou Bai explained, "Teacher Kuang Tu, even if you hadn’t said anything, I was already planning not to attend the Body Refinement classes. I feel their effect on me has become very limited and would like to spend the time on other things."
After speaking, he gave Kuang Tu a bow, "Thank you for your guidance during this time."
Kuang Tu’s expression darkened slightly, clearly uncomfortable with being rejected by a student, but he didn’t say much and waved his hand: "Cultivation is one’s own choice, you pick your own path."
Zhou Bai nodded, turned, and walked away.
Kuang Tu’s expression gradually returned to normal. Seeing Jiang Weishan and Zhao Xiu standing there dumbfounded, he snorted coldly, "What, you also want to leave?"
They both shivered and quickly shook their heads.
Before long, cries of pain echoed from the Body Refinement training room; today, Jiang Weishan and Zhao Xiu’s training was doubled.
