The Way of Cultivation
There were roughly two levels in the Honorable Realm. One was like the Honorable Realm puppet, or the Mountain Suppression Marquis before he obtained the cultivation method. He was just the most ordinary Honorable Realm. He had just stepped into this level and was very weak.
The so-called true Exalted level combat strength was measured by the Yingtian Academy. It was the combat strength after breaking through to the Exalted level and cultivating a cultivation technique!
This level was already one level higher than the ordinary Monarch Rank. It was an absolute powerhouse among the 1-star Monarch Rank.
A threshold empyrean level martial artist like Chen Ba could not last a single move in front of Lin He at all.
In the Heavenly Court, there had always been rumors about Lin He hiding his strength, but no one would have thought that Lin He had hidden it so deeply. Not only did he cultivate a cultivation technique, but he also had a special fortuitous encounter that allowed him to possess the power of a supreme level flame at the peak of the profound level.
It could be said that the current Lin He was on par with a true one-star Revered Martial Artist in all aspects. He might even be stronger!
Zhao Mayi's eyes flashed, then sighed helplessly: "I admit defeat, I originally thought that Gu Xuan was strong enough, I never thought that you would be stronger than him, I never thought that I, the number one on the Mountain River List, would only be ranked fourth in the Heaven Court, what a joke."
Lin He smiled faintly, "You entered the academy a year later than me, so you can definitely wait until the next Heavenly Court Tournament. I only have a slight advantage in terms of time."
Zhao Mayi shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, "I'm also preparing to break through to the Revered Rank. Without a special method, even if I stay here for another three years, my strength won't increase much. Moreover, how strong do you think Junior Brother Gu will become next year?"
"Thanks for letting me win." Lin He cupped his hands together and smiled. Now, he could rely on his advantage to defeat Gu Xuan. However, in the second year, Gu Xuan would advance to the peak of the Xuan Grade. At that time, even if he was twice as strong, he would not be a match for Gu Xuan, let alone Zhao Mayi.
Zhao Mayi walked down the battle stage helplessly. Lin He's gaze landed on Gu Xuan, "Junior Gu, do you still want to fight with me now?"
"Of course we still have to." Gu Xuan walked up to the fighting ring with a smile on his face. He shrugged and said, "What if I win? If I don't fight now, wouldn't I miss the opportunity to become the champion of the Heavenly Court?"
"Gu Xuan, I really admire you." Lin He shook his head and smiled as he watched Gu Xuan walk towards him. "You're the most dazzling genius I've ever seen. Your performance has exceeded my expectations time and time again. Now, you actually possess the strength to fight with me. However, I'm older than you by three years. This time, the first place in the Heavenly Court will still fall into my hands."
Gu Xuan also smiled. To be honest, although Lin He was Su Tianxin's subordinate, Gu Xuan didn't have much dislike for him. In fact, he even admired him a little. Lin He obviously had great strength, but he kept it to himself until his wings were fully developed. Nobody could deal with him.
"You are a true genius. I admit that doing so is the most beneficial for your cultivation. However, there are too many risks. Exposing yourself too early will only increase the chances of you dying prematurely." Lin He shook his head.
"That seems to be the case." Gu Xuan rubbed his nose. Just a moment ago, he also felt the cold killing intent coming from Zhou Juechu's direction. The stronger his talent was, the more he would be hated by others.
"It's good that you know it." Lin He's eyes slightly narrowed. "You're different from me. With my potential, I've already matured after reaching the Revered Realm. Those who are stronger won't have any ideas about me, and those who have ideas about me won't be able to deal with me. However, you're different. Your talent can only be fully displayed after you reach the Peak Revered Realm. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"
"Thanks for the reminder." Gu Xuan cupped his hands towards Lin He and smiled. "However, I still won't change."
"I've already expected this outcome." Lin He didn't mind as he slowly said, "If you're so easily changed, I won't admire you so much. However, I really don't want to see a genius like you die prematurely. I hope that this time, you'll be able to understand a little when you stop at the second place in the Heavenly Court. Make your move."
A smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face. Within that smile, there was arrogance as if he was looking down on the world. It was as if the changes in the world couldn't affect him. Looking at Lin He, Gu Xuan faintly said, "There are two things that you've misunderstood."
"Which two?" Lin He raised his eyebrows and asked.
The smile on Gu Xuan's face deepened. His eyes were filled with endless arrogance. "The first thing is that although I haven't matured yet, no one can make me die prematurely. As for the second thing … You can't take away the first place in the Heavenly Court."
As his voice fell, Gu Xuan raised his right hand. Rays of starlight sparkled and the mysterious Star Plucking Secret Rune continuously appeared on Gu Xuan's palm. Gu Xuan's aura also increased rapidly!
"Previously, when I fought against Chen Ba, I only used brute force. However, my strength is far from just brute force!"
Gu Xuan's palm was incomparably resplendent. An even more vigorous aura was emitted from Gu Xuan's body. This aura was so strong that it was even stronger than Lin He's!
When he fought against Chen Ba, everyone thought that Gu Xuan had only used a martial art that was stronger than the Star Plucking Hand. Hence, he didn't use the Star Plucking Hand.
However, in reality, Gu Xuan had only used brute force to defeat Chen Ba.
The difference between Gu Xuan's martial art and his brute force was like heaven and earth!
Boom!
When Gu Xuan struck out with his palm, the entire heaven and earth trembled. Rays of terrifying air swirled around Gu Xuan's palm. They were like dragons soaring into the sky, intimidating everyone within a thousand miles!
The force of heaven and earth around Gu Xuan was mobilized. When he struck out with his palm, the wind blew, the clouds shook, the heaven and earth changed, and the stars moved!
Boom boom boom!
The forces that Lin He had unleashed were shattered one after another in front of Gu Xuan's Star Plucking Hand.
When the fighting ring calmed down again, Gu Xuan was the only one left!
"Cough cough!" Lin He was blasted off the fighting ring. He barely managed to stand up. He covered his chest with one hand and his eyes were filled with shock.
He thought that his strength was much stronger than a true Honorable Realm expert. However, he was still defeated by Gu Xuan!
Gu Xuan looked at Lin He and a piercing aura was emitted from his body. "My path of cultivation is indestructible, unstoppable, and unbreakable. No matter how many obstacles there are, whether it is lightning punishment or heavenly devouring, it will not affect me at all. I am different from you."
After he finished speaking, he left in a huff, leaving Lin He standing there in a daze.
For the first time, Lin He had doubts about his own path of cultivation. He had endured for three years in order to accumulate strength. However, in the end, he had only become a stepping stone on Gu Xuan's path.
His so-called painstakingly waiting for the moment when he broke out of his cocoon and became a butterfly had become a joke in front of Gu Xuan's strength.
