Indeed, Guo Linn ultimately ended up in Ah Du's hands.
"Fine, you won. But I believe you won't stay victorious for long!" At this mont, Guo Linn gave a disdainful glance at the longsword on his neck and said unwillingly. Even though he had lost, he still felt quite satisfied. He knew that if it weren't for the "sorcery," he wouldn't have been able to contend with his opponent for so long, and even forced him into such a predicant.
Most importantly, Guo Linn knew he was just one step away from defeating his opponent. He believed that next ti, by keeping his distance, his opponent wouldn't have any chance to threaten him. And when he unleashed his flas again, it would be the mont of his opponent's defeat.
One must know that his opponent's cultivation was an entire rank higher than his, but he almost defeated him with the ever-changing spells of this "sorcery." This was sothing Guo Linn was very proud of, and he believed the real reason was that Ah Du was simply too strong. Otherwise, if he faced another cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, that person would have been no match for him!
"Heh, wanting to defeat ? Maybe in the next life! Even then, the chance is slim! Haha..."
Ah Du sneered, sounding proud, while retracting the longsword in his hand. However, his heart wasn't as relaxed and casual as he appeared. He was quite solemn, recognizing Guo Linn's significant progress. He knew if it weren't for his successful cultivation of the Sword Drawing Technique, he might have lost today.
At this mont, he realized that Guo Linn's martial arts were definitely not ordinary. Clearly, the treasures from the Sword Washing Pool were of great quality. Thinking of this, Ah Du couldn't help but look towards Ding Fan, though he held contempt for Ding Fan's choice of martial arts, which was rely a book of Basic Martial Arts, he was curious about what skills Ding Fan had mastered.
Suddenly, Ah Du faced Ding Fan and said:
"Shall we spar as well?"
"No need, I've already sparred with him before. Let's focus on training. We don't have much ti left, and such opportunities in a place like this aren't easy to co by,"
Ding Fan said calmly. He spoke the truth, having already observed Guo Linn's "sorcery" and Ah Du's "Sword Drawing Technique," he felt there was no need for further sparring. It was better to focus on training, as it was less than half a month, maybe just over ten days before they had to leave the Xuantian Secret Realm.
"Alright then."
Ah Du, hearing Ding Fan's words, hesitated for a mont before looking at Ding Fan with disdain. He wasn't really interested in Ding Fan's Basic Martial Arts—it was just a basic martial art, incomparable to his Sword Drawing Technique. Having already mastered the First Sword Technique, just the Sword Drawing Technique, it already possessed trendous power. If he learned a few more sword techniques, his strength would undoubtedly progress rapidly!
Finished speaking, Ah Du turned away and walked towards his previous training room, looking confident and composed.
In response, Guo Linn rolled his eyes, clearly displeased with Ah Du's deanor. He couldn't understand where Ah Du's pride ca from. Even if he could defeat him, he would surely not be a match for Big Brother. This was certain. Guo Linn walked up to Ding Fan, glanced at the departing Ah Du, and said to Ding Fan:
"What's so great about him? Big Brother, I believe in you. He won't be your match!"
"Go on,"
Ding Fan responded with a calm smile.
Subsequently, Guo Linn also returned to his room. He fully understood that such opportunities were not easily obtained, having gone through life-and-death experiences to acquire them. Naturally, he needed to cherish them. Once he left the Xuantian Secret Realm and returned to the Cultivation World, who knew how many people would covet his martial arts?
Therefore, only in this safe period, he needed to seize the ti to cultivate, quickly enhancing his strength to survive better in the Cultivation World. Even considering the imdiate situation, they were still inside the Xuantian Secret Realm.
Guo Linn understood the perilous nature of this place well. Only with significant improvent in his strength could his chances of survival in the Xuantian Secret Realm increase.
In no ti, Ding Fan and the others entered a state of cultivation. Before they knew it, another week had passed. By now, Ding Fan had cultivated the Sword Drawing Technique to the Fifth Sword Technique, and also learned seven or eight spells from "sorcery." These spells were beyond anything Ding Fan had seen or heard before, far more wondrous than the transformations Guo Linn perford.
After all, the martial arts in Ding Fan's hands are the orthodox inheritance of the village elder, Ding Fan. They have been personally improved and refined by the village elder, removing impurities and preserving the essence, thus achieving a state of extracting the essence and discarding the dross.
Therefore, whether it's the "Sword Drawing Technique" or "Sorcery," Ding Fan's practice is several levels higher than the martial arts practiced by Guo Linn and Ah Du. Although they all practice the sa martial arts, Ding Fan's versions have been refined by a village elder who has existed for nearly a thousand years, naturally making them far superior to the unchanged versions.
Additionally, Ding Fan has briefly encountered so other martial arts recorded in the "Basic Martial Arts," including so leg techniques, palm techniques, and so seemingly mysterious Great ntal Assault Technique. However, Ding Fan doesn't have much ti to practice these at the mont, so he has only taken a quick look. He plans to practice them slowly bit by bit in the future when he has more ti.
After all, since he has obtained the village elder's inheritance, as long as he doesn't lose this "Basic Martial Arts" book, he'll have plenty of opportunities to practice and learn in the future.
In the days that followed, everyone was busy with intense cultivation. Guo Linn and Ah Du rarely ca out, and Ding Fan was also deeply focused on cultivating. At this point, there were less than three days left before leaving the Xuantian Secret Realm, and everyone hoped to make significant improvents in this final stage.
By this ti, Ding Fan's cultivation could naturally reach a breakthrough after these days of practice, but he chose not to do so. Ding Fan wanted to suppress his cultivation as much as possible, as this would make future advancents easier for him.
After all, all cultivators face a common issue: the further they progress in cultivation, the more difficult it becos to advance. Therefore, many cultivators eventually stall at the Ergence Stage, and so even stop advancing after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.
Although this is partly related to cultivation talent, it also has a lot to do with the cultivation thods used in the earlier stages. So cultivators rush to improve their cultivation level and seek power quickly, breaking through rapidly, sotis at the expense of valuable spiritual materials and dicine pills.
However, this approach may limit their ultimate achievents, making it a loss rather than a gain. Yet, the appeal of imnse power in this survival-of-the-fittest cultivation world is irresistibly tempting. Very few can resist the allure of power.
That's why Ding Fan is choosing this path, aware that it will greatly benefit him in the future.
anwhile, Ah Du couldn't resist the temptation of power and eagerly broke through to the Spirit Severing Initial Stage. He also practiced the "Sword Drawing Technique" to the Third Sword Technique. He was very pleased with his achievent, having not only broken through but also mastered the Third Sword Technique of the "Sword Drawing Technique," which he considered a significant opportunity.
Ah Du knew that if he were in the cultivation world, breaking through to the Spirit Severing Initial Stage would take at least six months and require a supply of spiritual materials and dicine pills. Yet, in less than a month, he had made this breakthrough, which was trendous news.
Of course, the most important thing for Ah Du was mastering the Third Sword Technique of the "Sword Drawing Technique," which brought him great joy. He knew that rely relying on this swordsmanship, he could handle Spirit Severing Mid-Stage cultivators, significantly enhancing his strength. This was the most important and happiest outco for him.
On the other hand, Guo Linn wasn't in such a good mood. While he had learned eighteen spells, he had been stuck on the nineteenth spell for three whole days, unable to master it, leaving him very frustrated.
However, he knew this wasn't a weak spell; it was actually the strongest among all the spells he had learned. What he didn't know was that although Ding Fan had learned only seven or eight spells, each of those spells was powerful enough to equate to the strength of all eighteen spells Guo Linn learned.
Guo Linn did have sothing to be happy about; his cultivation had broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage in the past two days. He was now just a step away from the Spirit Severing Stage, which was naturally exciting for him.
Comparatively, Ding Fan's cultivation seed to be at a standstill. However, Ding Fan understood that he was deliberately suppressing his breakthrough, which he considered a very positive outco.
On the dawn of the penultimate day before leaving the Xuantian Secret Realm, the entire Sword Washing Pool suddenly shook slightly, causing Ding Fan and the others to stop their cultivation. Guo Linn and Ah Du quickly left their rooms and gathered with Ding Fan, clearly sensing that the shaking of the Sword Washing Pool was a bad sign, indicating sothing might be happening.
Guo Linn hurriedly approached Ding Fan, asking:
"Big brother, what exactly is going on?"
Hearing this, Ding Fan could only shake his head helplessly. He too had no idea what could cause such an astonishing shake of the earth.
Ah Du looked very serious as well. With only two days left before being transferred out of the Xuantian Secret Realm, encountering a problem was unexpected, but the biggest issue was that no one knew what was happening. That was the most critical concern.
