How did he survive?
However, seeing the speed at which Li Hengsheng was killing enemies, he knew that Li Hengsheng would not be able to pass the Eleventh Island today.
Just as Nan Haofei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a disciple suddenly shouted, "How strange, Senior Brother Li’s speed has increased!"
Nan Haofei snapped back to reality and was shocked to see that Li Hengsheng was indeed increasing his speed in killing enemies.
In the blink of an eye, he had already killed over forty.
"What’s going on?" Nan Haofei took a step forward, surprised, "Could it be that Li Hengsheng has broken through to the Postnatal Realm?"
"No, he’s still at the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm! But what’s happening!" Nan Haofei stared intently at Li Hengsheng’s na; his realm hadn’t changed, but his speed at killing enemies had increased so significantly. What on earth was going on?
Could it be that Li Hengsheng he...
Nan Haofei had an unbelievable thought in his mind.
At this mont on the Eleventh Island, Li Hengsheng was already soaked in blood!
But he hadn’t fallen; the robustness of his physique made it difficult for him to die easily. Yet, at this mont, Li Hengsheng was completely different from before.
The speed at which he wielded his spear had beco so fast that it was almost impossible to see the shadows!
And not only was he fast, but extrely precise. The wind-blade mantises that approached were all pierced through the head by Li Hengsheng’s spear!
Incredibly precise.
It was as if Li Hengsheng had morized the exact positions of the heads of each wind-blade mantis.
If soone had witnessed Li Hengsheng’s battle, they would have been even more shocked to see that Li Hengsheng was fighting with his eyes closed. He wasn’t relying on his eyes at all.
In recent days, Li Hengsheng had been trying to cultivate using his Divine Soul, practicing stabbing leaves with his Immortal-Extinguishing Spear, learning from Xu Muhai’s thods, but progress was slow.
Although Li Hengsheng had learned to observe the enemy using his Divine Soul, the coordination between his spear and Divine Soul had not reached Xu Muhai’s level of harmony.
He couldn’t reach the sa frequency; the spear was either too slow or too fast, piercing into the spot where the leaf was about to fall prematurely.
But unexpectedly, in the heat of life and death, Li Hengsheng began to gradually familiarize himself with the coordination between his Divine Soul and body. At this mont, his spear and his Divine Soul achieved a mysterious harmony.
Li Hengsheng truly felt it; whether it was his attacks or the enemy’s, he had a stronger and faster premonition.
The speed of his spear was both fast and accurate.
Is this the realm of the Sword Following Heart?
At this mont, Li Hengsheng completely transford into a god of death. No matter how fast the wind-blade mantis’s blades were, Li Hengsheng could accurately dodge and then slay one with a backhand strike.
A move of Heaven-Filling Star Rain instantaneously annihilated several wind-blade mantises.
So, Li Hengsheng’s speed in killing enemies increased faster and faster. In just a few breaths, the wind-blade mantises were slaughtered by Li Hengsheng.
Those outside didn’t understand what was happening but were completely dumbfounded.
When Li Hengsheng’s ranking updated again, it had reached 165th place.
The Twelfth Island!
"How could this be possible!" Nan Haofei was stunned at this mont.
He couldn’t believe how Li Hengsheng suddenly stepped into the Twelfth Island.
How did he kill those wind-blade mantises?
Could it be that Li Hengsheng truly comprehended that realm?
How could that be, he’s only in the Transcendent Realm!
At this mont, Li Hengsheng is firmly in the first position of the Transcendent Realm.
Ultimately, Li Hengsheng advanced to the Thirteenth Island and killed 62 Spirit Beasts before he failed.
Even though Li Hengsheng comprehended the realm of Sword Following Heart.
But against absolute power, he was still overwheld, and this realm of Sword Following Heart was still in its nascent form. It hadn’t yet reached a level of true spontaneity and required much more practice.
The speed of the Spirit Beasts on the Thirteenth Island was incredibly astonishing, and their power was formidable. Although Li Hengsheng’s body was strong enough, after being hit over a dozen tis, he was still killed.
In the end, with a score of 62 Spirit Beasts on the Thirteenth Island, Li Hengsheng ranked 151st on the Ten Thousand Beasts List.
This achievent can already be considered historic in the Mountain Ancient Land of Dao Mountain. Looking across the entire history of the Mountain Ancient Land, which disciple in the Transcendent Realm could achieve results like Li Hengsheng?
When Li Hengsheng awoke by Yingxin Lake, many people quickly gathered around, but Li Hengsheng paid them no mind, waved them off, and closed his eyes again.
He imrsed himself back into Yingxin Lake.
The surrounding crowd was very puzzled. What was Li Hengsheng doing?
Another challenge?
Could it be the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion?
The crowd was stunned; did Li Hengsheng want to challenge the scholar?
Everyone waited for a while, then Li Hengsheng woke up from that state again and revealed a bitter smile.
Originally, he thought that comprehending the realm of Sword Following Heart might allow him to surpass the scholar, but he had still underestimated the scholar.
Even though he wasn’t instantly defeated this ti and exchanged a few blows, he ultimately couldn’t dodge the scholar’s sword. The realm of Sword Following Heart for the scholar far exceeded his own, and he simply couldn’t compare at this point.
It’s as if he had just comprehended addition, while the scholar could effortlessly perform even subtraction.
It seems he still needs more honing.
At this mont, Nan Haofei walked up to Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng looked at this battle-ready youth before him and asked without any fear, "Is there sothing you need?"
"How about we compete during the Ghostly Realm trial?" Nan Haofei said, filled with fighting spirit, "Let’s see who performs better in the Ghostly Realm trial."
"I don’t even know if I’ll be chosen to participate in the Ghostly Realm," Li Hengsheng shook his head. This matter wasn’t definite yet.
"As long as you break through to the Postnatal Realm, you’ll definitely be eligible. You’re a direct disciple; if you speak to your master, there’s hope. I’m asking if you dare!"
Nan Haofei stared into Li Hengsheng’s eyes.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Li Hengsheng, youthful and spirited, could not back down when challenged.
The Li Hengsheng of today was no longer the servile, self-abasing servant disciple of Wanzai Peak.
He was now a direct disciple!
He was now the genius of the Mountain Ancient Land!
The foremost in the Transcendent Realm!
The two locked eyes, a tension in the air as if sparks were flying between their gazes.
"Alright!"
Nan Haofei shouted, "But we can’t just compete; we need to wager sothing! I suggest that whoever loses must go to Wanzai Peak, where the servant disciples cultivate, and chop one hundred bundles of firewood every day for a month. Endure this humiliation; do you dare accept the challenge?"
"Huh?"
Li Hengsheng was montarily stunned; what was this kid talking about?
Why wouldn’t he dare?
It’s only chopping wood at Wanzai Peak; he had done it for several years, hadn’t he?
Why would it be considered such a great humiliation?
"No problem at all," Li Hengsheng, in a brief mont of surprise, agreed directly.
"You’re a real man," Nan Haofei was surprised, "Even taking on such a punishnt, very well, I shall see you at the Ghostly Realm trial!"
With that, Nan Haofei turned and left.
"What just happened? Is this kid crazy?" Li Hengsheng asked Wu Santong beside him.
"Heh heh," Wu Santong chuckled, "Senior Brother, just ignore him."
"That Nan Haofei’s identity is actually not simple; he’s the Crown Prince of the Wangdu Dynasty," Wu Santong explained, "The Wangdu Dynasty is a small country, not very strong, and Nan Haofei is the most favored and talented son of the Emperor of Wangdu Dynasty. They went to great lengths to send him to the Mountain Ancient Land."
"His status is eminent; naturally, he has the malaise of privilege, feeling superior to others. He most looks down upon the servile disciples of Wanzai Peak, so in his view, even just walking through Wanzai Peak would disgrace him and dirty his shoes. So to him, chopping wood at Wanzai Peak is a great humiliation, isn’t it?"
Hearing Wu Santong’s words, Li Hengsheng was speechless.
Nan Haofei had unexpectedly turned out to be a Crown Prince.
Li Hengsheng couldn’t be bothered with him, and he hurried back to Cyan Rain Mountain to consolidate his cultivation. Having just comprehended the level of Sword Following Heart, it was ti to practice his spear, rember that feeling, and then, after adjusting his state, take the pill to break through to the Postnatal Realm.
