The Sacrificial Power could increase one's cultivation level by ten times, and this was when it was perfected. Lu Jun's increase was about five times, which was already shocking.
However, the sudden increase in cultivation level could not fully unleash its power. His control of his body was greatly reduced. His speed was faster but not as precise. His strength was stronger but he often exerted too much force and could not guarantee the subtlety of his moves.
Through deduction and prediction of his moves, Chu Li could predict his moves in advance and easily avoid them. Every time he almost hit Chu Li, he would always hit his shadow. His strength could not be used.
"Ah —!" Lu Jun roared angrily.
He was too aggrieved and furious.
He originally thought that after using the Sacrificial Power, he could defeat this hateful old man in a few moves. He did not expect this old man to be so cunning. He could not hit him no matter what.
This feeling of powerlessness was too suffocating. It was driving him crazy, and he wanted nothing more than to tear Chu Li into pieces in one breath.
Unfortunately, the angrier he was, the more he could not hit Chu Li. He could only roar to vent his anger.
Chu Li laughed and said, "That's all there is to the Sacrificial Power!"
"Old man, tell me your name!" Lu Jun roared, "I will kill you!"
Chu Li laughed and said, "You want to kill me with your mediocre martial arts? You must be dreaming. You better go!"
As he finished, he kicked Lu Jun in the chest.
Lu Jun flew out with a "bang", and Chu Li flew in the opposite direction. The recoil was so strong that Chu Li was speechless. As expected of the Sacrificial Power, it was much stronger than his Sacrificial Formula.
Only one-third of his spirit was on Lu Jun, and the rest was on Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan's expression was calm, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Li. He was carefully observing Chu Li, trying to see through him. He would not act rashly until he saw through him, even if Chu Li did not look too strong.
He felt that he was right to be cautious. The old man was not strong, but once they fought, Lu Jun was helpless and could not fight back. Every move was aimed at his vital points.
If this continued, Lu Jun would be defeated in less than ten moves.
To have such strength at such a low cultivation level was truly rare. He had to be on guard. This elder's experience and martial arts were both top-notch. His eyes were especially sharp, and he could directly see through the weaknesses of Lu Jun's moves.
Those who had this kind of abnormal behavior were usually peerless experts. It was very likely that they were old or injured, causing their cultivation base to degenerate. That was why they gave people the feeling that they were not strong, but in fact, the strength they displayed far exceeded their cultivation base.
"Little Lu, step down." After watching for a while, Song Zhifan knew that the old man was not a threat to him, but even so, he had to go all out to avoid unexpected failure.
These old fellows were all cunning and had many tricks up their sleeves. It was impossible to guard against them, so there was no harm in being careful.
"Yes!" Lu Jun was unwilling and angry, but he still obeyed the order. When he heard what was said, he suddenly retreated to Song Zhifan's side and whispered, "Cult Master, be careful, this old guy is a despicable person!"
"I know." Song Zhifan nodded.
Chu Li looked at Song Zhifan and shook his head. "Young man, you're no match for me even though you're a bishop. Forget it."
"That's not necessarily true, please —!" Song Zhifan closed fist saluted and suddenly threw a punch, not giving Chu Li the chance to dodge.
Chu Li was prepared in advance. Although he looked casual, he was 120% alert. He sidestepped to avoid the punch and sneered. "This is the real despicable thing. You're not worthy of being a bishop, you're really not worthy of being in public!"
Song Zhifan frowned and his face was slightly red.
He also felt that he went a little overboard. He was too petty, which was a common problem of young people. He was impatient and wanted to take him down in one move to establish his power. He had lost his sense of propriety.
"You're the one who's not worthy of being in public, old man!" Lu Jun shouted.
Song Zhifan's expression softened. He was very satisfied with Lu Jun's gaze. He said lightly, "Looks like you're really pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!"
Chu Li laughed out loud. "So be it. Let's see if you can kill me!"
"You'll know once I try," Song Zhifan said lightly. He threw a punch as if it was as natural as brushing off clothes.
Chu Li smiled. "What is the fundamental heart technique of the Longevity Church?"
"The Ageless Longevity Technique," Song Zhifan said. "You'll have the chance to learn it!"
Chu Li shook his head. "The Ageless Longevity Technique, I've never heard of it. I heard that the Longevity Church has countless divine techniques and each of them is extremely powerful. Do you have the Dragon Taming Technique?"
"No," Song Zhifan said lightly.
Chu Li smiled. "You don't even have the Dragon Taming Technique, how can you talk about countless divine techniques?"
Song Zhifan smiled proudly and struck out with his palm.
Chu Li easily dodged it. "Without the Dragon Taming Technique, what about the Black Tortoise Power?"
"No." Song Zhifan shook his head.
"The Vermillion Bird Power?"
"No!"
"The White Tiger Power?"
"No!" Song Zhifan said lightly. "These martial arts are just inferior. The Longevity Church doesn't care about them."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "How arrogant. The Dragon Taming Technique and the White Tiger Power are inferior martial arts?"
"Do you really think that they're that great?" Song Zhifan said with disdain. "It seems like your vision is really limited. There are many top-notch martial arts in the world such as the Invincible King, the Moon Howling Sky Technique, the Immeasurable Light Technique, and so on. The spirit beast martial arts you mentioned are just inferior. They're worthless to the Longevity Church. We don't even care about them."
Chu Li smiled. "The Invincible King, the Moon Howling Sky Technique, and the Immeasurable Light Technique. You have all of these?"
"Of course." Song Zhifan looked at him with a faint smile. "Do you want to cultivate these martial arts?"
"It'll be best if I can see them," Chu Li said.
Song Zhifan said, "If you want to cultivate these martial arts, of course you can. There's only one condition."
"What condition?" Chu Li asked.
"Join the Longevity Church." Song Zhifan said, "As long as you become a disciple of the Longevity Church, you'll naturally be able to cultivate these divine techniques."
Chu Li said, "The martial arts I'm cultivating are already top-notch. To become a Grandmaster, unless I become an Enlightened Master, there's no point in cultivating anything else. Can I become an Enlightened Master with these martial arts?"
"It's not impossible." Song Zhifan said, "There's more than one path to become an Enlightened Master."
Chu Li smiled. "I've heard that cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique and the other three antique studies will allow one to become an Enlightened Master."
"It seems like you have the same thought." Song Zhifan said, "My church doesn't have these four martial arts, but if you can perfect these martial arts, you can also become an Enlightened Master!"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's different from a thousand years ago. It's impossible."
"It's fine if you don't believe me." Song Zhifan said, "Then you can die!"
Chu Li scoffed. "How arrogant!"
Song Zhifan suddenly retracted his palm energy and pulled out the long sword at his waist. With a simple stab, the blade of the sword suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance that no one dared to look at directly.
Chu Li pulled out his sword and used the Great Heaven-deriving Sword.
"Ding ding ding ding …" The Crouching Tiger Divine Sword and Song Zhifan's long sword clashed. In the continuous clear sounds, the two of them had exchanged more than a hundred blows.
The Great Heaven-deriving Sword complemented his Heavenly Star Insight and Nature Restoration Manifestation. Their powers overlapped and it was amazing.
