Bang, bang, bang!
Behind Sheng Yuan Peak, with deafening bangs erupting, screams followed.
For the past six months, Li Xuan had been fighting the Xuan Beasts in this dense forest almost daily. There were victories and defeats, but as time went by, Li Xuan's wins increased.
Moreover, it had brought immense benefits to Li Xuan's improvement. It could be said that currently, besides the ninth-tier Xuan Beasts in the deep forest behind the peak, Li Xuan was completely undefeated.
Of course, these ninth-tier Xuan Beasts were also extremely annoyed by Li Xuan's repeated provocations.
There was even one time when three ninth-tier Xuan Beasts attacked Li Xuan simultaneously, severely injuring him.
However, it was strange. These three ninth-tier Xuan Beasts did not continue to attack Li Xuan. Instead, they all left after Li Xuan was seriously injured. This was also why Li Xuan did not go all out even after half a month of healing.
"Azure Cloud Beast, come again!" After being sent flying back by a palm strike from the Azure Cloud Beast, Li Xuan stabilized himself and then beckoned to the Azure Cloud Beast, which was a hundred zhang large, saying. Then, his figure moved, and he charged forward again.
Roar!
The Azure Cloud Beast seemed extremely enraged by Li Xuan's provocations over the past three months. After letting out an angry roar to the heavens, its massive body charged forward.
Bang, bang, bang!
The fierce collision caused the ground to tremble. However, with the barrier set up by Dan Wushuang, Sheng Yuan Peak remained safe and sound.
As they exchanged blows continuously, the attacks of Li Xuan and the Azure Cloud Beast became increasingly fierce.
Li Xuan did not notice that at a high altitude above Sheng Yuan Peak, Dan Wushuang and the other seven people who had returned were watching everything.
"Junior Brother's physical prowess is quite extraordinary, to be able to fight the Azure Cloud Beast until now," Song Qianyu said with a hint of admiration in her beautiful eyes.
"The physical attainments of the Myriad Manifestation Realm are naturally not weak. Elder Dan, who taught Junior Brother this physical cultivation method?" Lu Hanchi nodded slightly at this and then asked Dan Wushuang curiously.
Dan Wushuang smiled and said, "Your Junior Brother comes from a lower continent. On that continent, few people can comprehend such a physical cultivation method. I must admit that even in the wilderness, strong individuals can emerge. However, at present, your Junior Brother has only learned the basic principles."
"Elder Dan, Junior Brother's physique has already reached the Myriad Manifestation Realm, and he is only three stages away from achieving physical sainthood. If this is still just the basic principles, then we are not even considered to have grasped the basics," Wang Kun pouted and said.
Dan Wushuang glared at Wang Kun and said, "With your current physical strength, without using spiritual energy, do you have the confidence to defeat your Junior Brother?"
Wang Kun shrugged sheepishly. What a joke. His physical strength was only at the Thousand Mountains Realm. If he were to fight Li Xuan without using spiritual energy, it would be asking for trouble.
"Sixth Junior Brother, it seems you need to strengthen yourself more in the future. During the trial in the Bone Cave Secret Realm, you were constantly being pursued. If you want to have an easier time next time, I think you should train with Junior Brother from now on," Lu Hanchi said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Lu, why don't you take on such a good task yourself?" Wang Kun glared at Lu Hanchi and said.
"Alright, Junior Brother's fight with the Azure Cloud Beast is about to end. Stop talking," Before Lu Hanchi could speak, He Xiuzhu's voice suddenly rang out.
The two fell silent and looked at Li Xuan and the Azure Cloud Beast.
"Overlord Fist Unrivaled!"
Li Xuan roared, and then his figure moved, charging directly at the Azure Cloud Beast.
Roar!
As if sensing the power of Li Xuan's punch, the Azure Cloud Beast roared and its body glowed with azure light, instantly forming an azure defensive shield. At the same time, Li Xuan's fist arrived.
Boom!
The two forces collided, and the azure light was finally defeated. As the shield dissipated, the Azure Cloud Beast's massive body was sent flying backward by Li Xuan's punch.
Li Xuan, ultimately victorious.
"Heh heh, in the next fight, I won't be expending so much spiritual energy," Li Xuan said, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the defeated Azure Cloud Beast. Then, his gaze shifted, and he looked towards the void.
"Disciple Li Xuan pays his respects to Elder Dan and all Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters." Seeing Dan Wushuang and the other seven, Li Xuan cupped his fists and saluted.
"To be able to fight the Azure Cloud Beast and achieve victory is quite good. It seems you haven't slacked off in your cultivation over the past year. Very good, continue to maintain it," Dan Wushuang nodded slightly and then disappeared from his original position.
"Heh heh, Junior Brother, your physical prowess is quite good." After Dan Wushuang left, He Xiuzhu and the other six landed around Li Xuan. Song Qianyu, in particular, pinched Li Xuan's arm and said with a smile.
"Fourth Senior Sister, as the saying goes, men and women should keep their distance. If your Junior Brother's little girlfriend saw you making such a move, she might fight with you," Wang Kun said.
Song Qianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Wang Kun and said, "Sixth Junior Brother, is Junior Brother's little girlfriend very beautiful?"
"Naturally, she's beautiful. Fourth Senior Sister, you haven't seen how many people were mesmerized at the Moon Clan Saintess ceremony," Wang Kun replied without thinking.
"Then Sixth Junior Brother, do you think Senior Sister is more beautiful, or is Junior Brother's little girlfriend more beautiful?" Song Qianyu asked with great interest.
"Does this need to be asked? Naturally, Senior Sister is more beautiful. Sister is the most beautiful in Junior Brother's heart! Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, do you think Fourth Senior Sister is beautiful?"
Wang Kun said, but then as if realizing something, he quickly changed the subject and looked at He Xiuzhu and Wen Boya.
"Well, Fourth Junior Sister is naturally beautiful. Anyway, neither Senior Brother nor I have met Junior Brother's little girlfriend, so we can't compare. In my opinion, Sixth Junior Brother is the one with the best judgment," Wen Boya said, fanning himself with a feather fan in a calm manner.
"Uh, I suddenly remembered I have something to discuss with Elder Dan, so I won't chat with all Senior Brothers and Sisters." Seeing Song Qianyu's gaze shifting back to him, Wang Kun shivered and bolted away.
In just two breaths, Wang Kun completely disappeared from their sight.
"Alright, Junior Brother has just finished his fight and might need to rest. Everyone has just returned from the Bone Spirit Secret Realm, so you should all go back and meditate," He Xiuzhu said slowly after Wang Kun left.
"Yes, that would be good. Junior Brother cultivates so diligently, we, as Senior Brothers and Sisters, should set an example. Junior Brother, keep it up, we are all waiting for you to bring your little girlfriend back for us to see."
Lu Hanchi nodded, then looked at Li Xuan and said.
"I will work hard," Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
Judging from Lu Hanchi's words, he was clearly aware of the five-year agreement between Li Xuan and the Moon Clan.
"Alright, let's go." He Xiuzhu nodded slightly, then his figure moved, leading the way towards Xiuzhu Peak.
Wen Boya and the other four also moved simultaneously, instantly heading towards their respective mountain peaks.
"Farewell to all Senior Brothers and Sisters." Li Xuan bowed and saluted, then his figure moved towards Fuyao Peak.
Now that Elder Dan Wushuang and the others had returned, Li Xuan naturally could not continue to train freely in the mountains behind Sheng Yuan Peak.
Moreover, He Xiuzhu had seen that Li Xuan was on the verge of a breakthrough. The reason he took everyone away was actually to allow Li Xuan to go back and enter seclusion for breakthrough after the fight.
One month later.
Boom!
A rumbling sound echoed from the sky above Fuyao Peak. Everyone cultivating on their respective peaks opened their eyes and looked over.
They saw Li Xuan's figure rapidly ascend into the sky, and the aura and pressure emanating from him instantly became intense.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged madly into Li Xuan's body.
After a full fifteen minutes, the powerful suction force began to recede.
Hum.
With a humming sound, Li Xuan's aura began to rise again. It was only when he reached the intermediate stage of the Soul Summoning Realm that it slowly stopped.
After more than a year of actual combat, Li Xuan finally broke through again.
"Elder Dan's vision is truly extraordinary. This Junior Brother has only been here for over a year and has already broken through to the peak of the intermediate Soul Summoning Realm. At this rate, he will probably catch up to me soon,"
Wang Kun murmured as he looked at Li Xuan in the sky. Then, with a thought, he slowly closed his eyes.
At the same time, the people on the other mountain peaks also closed their eyes one after another. From their expressions, it seemed they felt a sense of pressure.
"This kid has advanced two levels in less than two years. It seems my bet has a chance of winning."
Dan Wushuang was well aware of He Xiuzhu's actions. After glancing in the direction of Li Xuan, who had returned to Fuyao Peak, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he mused.
Time flies like a river, never stopping.
For spiritual masters, time was like an insignificant existence.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
And throughout this entire period, Dan Wushuang had never sought out Li Xuan to impart any knowledge.
Even guidance for Li Xuan's cultivation was absent. Over time, Li Xuan began to feel a sense of bewilderment.
Could this be Dan Wushuang's method of nurturing him?
