Huala!
A surge of energy gushed out from his body, and as if a white ray of light, he charged straight for Zhang Xuan.
Zhizun realm, also known as the Ten Thousand Ding realm, was the final realm of the nine dans of the Fighter realm. Regardless of whether it was one's physical body or zhenqi, one had reached the pinnacle of the Fighter realm.
Even though Lin Ruotian was only a Half-Zhizun realm cultivator, the strength in his body flowed endlessly like a raging river. His zhenqi gushed forth furiously, as though a massive whip. Before it could reach Zhang Xuan, the boulders on the ground had already been reduced to dust.
Driving the zhenqi in his body to its limits, as though blowing a whistle, an ear-piercing sound echoed.
"The resonance of one's blood and zhenqi, this... this is the sign that one is about to reach Zhizun realm!"
Mo Tianxue's face paled.
He was the number one expert of Tianwu Kingdom's Zongshi realm pinnacle, and he had a deep understanding of the Zhizun realm. It was said that those who had reached Zhizun realm would have their blood and zhenqi as though mercury, and when their zhenqi gushed forth, it would produce a whistle-like sound.
All along, he thought that Lin Ruotian had only managed to reach Zhizun realm due to his connections with Xuanyuan Kingdom. Even if he was a Half-Zhizun realm cultivator, his foundation wouldn't be stable enough to pose a threat to him. Only after seeing this did he realize that...
That wasn't the case at all!
Even among Half-Zhizun realm cultivators, Lin Ruotian could be considered as one of the strongest. In fact, he could even reach the pinnacle of the Fighter realm at any moment!
It was no wonder why, despite being a Half-Zhizun realm expert and having Xuanyuan Kingdom as his backing, he chose to scheme against the guardian beast discreetly... It wasn't because he was afraid of the Tianwu royal family's vengeance, but because he wanted to confuse them.
Most likely, his true motive was to reach Zhizun realm as soon as possible so that he could crush all of them. Even if Mingshi Tang and the others were to find out about it, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
From the looks of it, if not for Guild Leader Liu forcing him to make a move, he would have been able to reach Zhizun realm in a few months at the very most!
At that time... even if he didn't disguise himself, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Fearsome!
Mo Tianxue's body turned cold, and his body trembled.
If not for Guild Leader Liu clashing head-on with the other party, he wouldn't have been able to uncover this secret!
It was laughable that he thought that the other party wouldn't dare to make a move as long as the guardian beast was still alive.
"Guild Leader Liu... probably won't be able to hold on for much longer..."
Mo Tianxue, Mo Tianxue as well.
Even though Guild Leader Liu was powerful as a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert, he was still far from matching up to an expert of this level.
Putting everything aside, in terms of strength, the current Lin Ruotian should have already reached 9000 ding. With just his zhenqi, he should be able to suppress the other party perfectly.
He couldn't help but look forward.
…
"Incredible …"
Similar to his worries, Zhang Xuan's disdainful gaze turned serious.
After reaching Zongshi realm pinnacle, Zhang Xuan's physical prowess was equivalent to 5000 ding. However, compared to Lin Ruotian, he was still far from matching up to him.
As soon as the two came into contact, he immediately felt a heavy pressure.
Zhang Xuan's zhenqi surged toward him like a surging river. Even if he wanted to dodge, there was no way for him to do so.
Thump! Thump!
Retreating seven to eight steps, the blood and Qi in his body surged.
Zhang Xuan knew that he would not be able to withstand it in a head-on clash, but he was not in a hurry. With a thought, his eyes glowed, and lines of markings slowly appeared.
Eye of Insight!
Frowning, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
The Eye of Insight was able to see through a cultivator's flaws and flaws. However … due to the limitations of his cultivation and the fact that the other party was stronger than him, there was nothing he could do about it.
In other words, as long as the other party was stronger than him, the Eye of Insight would not be able to see through their flaws, and it would be impossible for him to achieve victory.
"Forget it, flaws!"
Knowing that his newly obtained talent was useless at this moment, Zhang Xuan exclaimed.
Hu!
The Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and a book appeared before Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan flipped through it and entered his mind.
A moment later, Zhang Xuan chuckled. "No wonder he is so energetic. To think that he would use the spirit beast blood essence!"
The Library of Heaven's Path allowed Zhang Xuan to see through the flaws of the other party as long as they executed a battle technique, regardless of how high their cultivation was. This was completely different from the Eye of Insight.
The book recorded the true strength, battle technique, and cultivation technique of the Lin Clan's head in detail.
The reason why he was able to achieve such a breakthrough so quickly wasn't because he had consumed some kind of formidable pill as Mo Tianxue had said. Rather, it was because of … the blood essence of a spirit beast!
Spirit beasts were lifeforms that surpassed even savage beasts.
Even the weakest spirit beast possessed strength surpassing that of a Zhizun realm cultivator. A single droplet of blood essence from such a powerful lifeform could allow a Half-Zhizun realm savage beast to undergo a Bloodline Evolution and successfully reach Zhizun realm.
The reason why Lin Ruotian was able to reach Half-Zhizun realm from Zongshi realm pinnacle was due to the blood essence.
"How should I deal with him?"
Even though there were many flaws recorded in the Library of Heaven's Path, the other party's powerful zhenqi made it difficult for Zhang Xuan to even get close to him, needless to say, injure him.
Only after crossing blows with such an expert did Zhang Xuan realize that his battle technique was too fragmented. He was unable to gain any advantage in a battle.
Regardless of whether it was the Heaven's Path Fist Art or movement technique … he could subdue his opponent in a single move.
These moves were extremely effective in close combat, but if he couldn't get close to the other party, it would be useless. Furthermore, even if he could get close to the other party and consume the spirit beast blood essence, his defense would be on par with that of a savage beast. It wouldn't be easy for him to defeat the other party.
Most likely, even if he were to exhaust all of his zhenqi, he would only be able to injure the other party. As for killing the other party, it was nigh impossible.
After all, regardless of whether it was the Heaven's Path Fist Art, Heaven's Path Movement Art, or Heaven's Path Leg Art, they were extremely taxing on one's zhenqi and body. Even if one's cultivation had reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, it was impossible for one to execute them consecutively.
"Forget it, I won't use the Heaven's Path battle technique for the time being. I don't believe that he can last for long!"
With the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan was able to see through the other party's battle techniques. While it would be difficult for him to defeat the other party in a single move, it was also impossible for the other party to injure him. At most, he would just have to slowly whittle down the other party's stamina.
Even if one consumed the essence blood of a spirit beast, it was impossible to have endless physical strength.
…
While Zhang Xuan's thoughts were running wild, Lin Ruotian felt so frustrated that he was about to vomit blood.
The young man from before possessed a bizarre movement technique, and his speed was incredibly fast. As soon as Zhang Xuan made a move, he immediately released the zhenqi in his body. His goal was simple — to prevent the other party from getting close to him.
Initially, he thought that no matter how powerful the other party was, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long under such a violent attack.
But who could have thought that …
The other party was as nimble as a loach. It was as though he knew the flaws in the other party's battle technique and moves beforehand. With a slight movement, he would be able to avoid the blind spot of the other party's attacks. Even though Zhang Xuan's strength was frenzied, causing the surrounding rocks to fly and the air to explode … the other party didn't even lose a single strand of hair!
In fact, his violent zhenqi didn't even manage to blow up the other party's hair.
This fellow wasn't fighting at all. Rather, it was as though he was on vacation. All of his feints and maneuvers were completely useless. Needless to say, his traps were completely ineffective as well …
As long as the other party moved casually, it would be extremely difficult for him to land a blow on him. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to injure him.
It was as though he was holding a huge saber in his hand, and every single slash was just a few centimeters away from the other party … Yet, not only was he unable to injure the other party at all, he was even exhausting himself to the point of spurting blood.
Are you kidding me?
We are in a life-and-death battle! We have already exchanged more than a hundred blows, and yet, we haven't even touched the other party's clothes … Are you insane?
"This …"
"Are the two of them … really fighting?"
"Why does it feel so different?"
…
While Lin Ruotian was on the verge of going berserk, the crowd was dumbfounded by the sight before them.
Usually, when two people were fighting, their zhenqi would clash intensely with one another, resulting in an intense battle.
If there was a difference in strength between the two parties, even if the weaker party was able to hold on, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. As long as there was a battle, there would definitely be clashes and clashes …
The heck! What was wrong with the two of them?
Why did it seem as though they weren't fighting? Instead, it seemed as though …
They were dancing!
Before Lin Ruotian could make a move, Guild Leader Liu would jump to the side and look at him leisurely. Following which … the former's attack would arrive.
In other words, even though Lin Ruotian was the one attacking, in the eyes of the crowd, it seemed as though Lin Ruotian was attacking wherever Guild Leader Liu jumped.
The two of them were retreating and advancing … Even dancing didn't have such chemistry!
Could it be that the two of them knew each other and were extremely familiar with each other's fighting style?
That wasn't right. Judging from how Lin Ruotian looked as though he would bite anyone at any moment, it was unlikely that the two of them were acquainted with one another.
"Guild Leader Liu must have seen through Lin Ruotian's movements and messed up his rhythm …"
Principal Xie's complexion turned grim.
Naturally, he had also received news that a teacher from their academy had gone to the Lin Clan to cause trouble. When he arrived, he saw this sight and felt light-headed.
To see through Lin Ruotian's movements and dodge to a safe spot before the other party could attack, rendering him helpless no matter how powerful his attacks were …
How in the world did he do it?
Even 3-star master teachers didn't possess such frightening capabilities!
Unless … Guild Leader Liu was Lin Ruotian's father or teacher, and thus had a clear understanding of his attacks and moves. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be so familiar with Lin Ruotian's movements and be able to predict his movements in advance!
But … could Guild Leader Liu be Lin Ruotian's father or teacher?
That was impossible!
He knew that Guild Leader Liu was a talented person, but he didn't expect him to be so evil.
To be able to force an opponent who was much stronger than him to hit the air, rendering all of his moves useless … Just the thought of it left him speechless.
…
"You … Can you fight me head-on?"
The more he fought, the more frustrated he felt. Lin Ruotian roared furiously.
"Aren't we fighting head-on?"
Zhang Xuan said as he dodged Lin Ruotian's attacks.
You attack, I dodge. You retract your attacks, I advance … You keep facing me, so why aren't we fighting head-on?
Hearing those words, Lin Ruotian was so frustrated that he nearly spurted blood. He knew that if he were to speak any further, he would die from anger.
Flicking his wrist, a sword appeared in his hand. With a light slash, ripples appeared in the air as though a piece of paper being sliced apart. "Do you dare to face my true strength with a weapon?"
"Weapon? Sure! "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before chuckling. Turning around, he chuckled softly, "Zhao Ya, your sword!"
