Chapter 492: Chapter 485 Breakthrough Opportunity_3
But facing someone who is not even at the Grandmaster level, fighting to this extent, he could actually be considered to have lost.
"Supreme Elder’s power is impressive. I didn’t expect that in only two short months, while Elder has been busy with military affairs, your martial strength has not been neglected at all!"
"If I continue to fight, I’m bound to be defeated."
Xu Lingjun was a bit speechless...
He couldn’t help it; he sought a spar with Sun Bumie because he had his eyes on his power.
He’s now just short of one final step, and if Sun Bumie used his full strength, it could provide him with substantial assistance... Although it might cost him somewhat, since it’s a spar, where there is loss, there is gain.
But during the battle, he deliberately exposed several flaws, trying to lure Sun Bumie to attack him.
But Sun Bumie ignored these flaws, gently passing them by... It was clear that he did not want to take advantage of him.
As a result, although Xu Lingjun’s power increased significantly in this battle, it fell far short of his expectations...
In Sun Bumie’s view, Xu Lingjun must have been displeased due to the lack of victory in the battle.
He sighed and said, "Uncle can fight me to such a level with your Dongxuan body. When you naturally break through to the Grandmaster Realm, I’m afraid I won’t be your match. But... Uncle seems eager for quick success, or has cultivated a habit on the battlefield of taking any means necessary to succeed in killing the enemy? If I attacked the openings you deliberately exposed just now, I might have fallen into your trap and become passive, but in doing so, undoubtedly, you would have suffered severe injuries..."
He earnestly advised, "As martial artists, we must prioritize nurturing our bodies. If any irrevocable injuries occur, it can be devastating to one’s path in the Martial Tao."
"Hmm, I understand, thank you Sect Leader for the advice."
What else could Xu Lingjun say?
I came precisely to get beaten, I just wanted you to hit me... You couldn’t hit me, so I exposed flaws on purpose to let you hit...
Forget it, forget it.
For sparring, I’m afraid I have to find someone like in Han Yun City, where once their strength erupts, their IQ plummets, to truly enhance my power.
I was thinking of harvesting all the ’chives’ that should be cut.
But now, it seems unnecessary to go to the Sun and Moon Bright Sect. If I want to spar with the Sect Leader of Tomorrow, perhaps it would end in a fight, making me seem too concerned about victory or defeat.
Xu Lingjun suddenly thought of that jade pendant from Tomorrow...
He wondered if by leveraging the power of the jade pendant...
A similar jade pendant once helped him break through almost two realms.
But thinking about it, he decided against it.
His current strength is completely incomparable to back then; just one jade pendant is probably insufficient.
It requires a bloody battle, a fight to the death.
Xu Lingjun shook his head...
He accepted a towel from his subordinate, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled, "Thank you Sect Leader for the guidance, I have gained a lot from this battle and will surely have considerable insights when I close myself off to meditate."
"I feel the same way."
Sun Bumie smiled, "After this battle, I must consider going into closed-door meditation as well... Uncle’s strength is formidable, and your understanding of ’Reversed Tao Qiankun’ surpasses mine, which benefits me greatly!"
Several Elders quickly stepped forward to speak.
After this battle, they had to admit...
The decision by Sun Bumie to befriend Xu Lingjun back then was wise indeed.
This is truly a genius in every possible way.
However, Xu Lingjun was already deeply pondering to himself.
Now that he’s promoted to Commander in Chief, sooner or later, he will have to return to the Polar Star Battlefield.
But now that he has time, and the Chi Yu mysterious clan is eradicated, he doesn’t have to return so urgently, hence he intends to use this time to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in his cultivation.
If he could completely refine his True Qi into True Essence...
The subsequent power boost would be inestimable.
He calculated it.
With his abilities, breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm would just require six months to a year of closed cultivation, after which he could naturally enter the Guiyuan Grandmaster Realm.
A Grandmaster at the age of twenty-two or twenty-three was unimaginable in the past.
But Xu Lingjun doesn’t want to wait that long...
A series of exhilarating battles.
Or several exhilarating battles?
He could then seize the opportunity to break through his cultivation.
Xu Lingjun really wanted to frankly tell Sun Bumie to just give him a good beating, so he could break through.
But the secret of absorbing others’ power for one’s own use can never be divulged to anyone.
If he did reveal it, Sun Bumie probably wouldn’t dare to fight him.
It seems he’ll have to find another way.
