Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 159: Spar

"With such increase, there’s no need for him to worry that his vessel is not strong enough to absorb the Qi in Spirit Stones," Sui Wenyan commented when she saw the deep mark on the ground. Her brows furrowed. Couldn’t that annoying brat stepped on the ground slowly?

Wenren Yu nodded. He himself was already at Body Training Rank 10, but he had no confidence to try breaking through. The reason was simply because his body strength was still far weaker than what ordinary Body Training Rank 10 was, so he had to make sure that his body was strong enough to withstand him attempting the breakthrough.

"He’ll catch up to you."

"When we reach Foundation Establishment, he’s going to lag behind." Wenren Yu shrugged. Body Training Stage emphasized on body strength with the Qi as the helper. But once they reached higher stage, Qi was more important, then comprehension was the most important.

The higher the stage, the less they would need to worry about training their physical body.

Lin Yun was also in the same condition as Wenren Yu. He was previously a weak boy that had to rely on medicine to be able to survive and get going. But with the help of so many medicine and herbs, he managed to eventually reached Body Training Rank 10.

He was already quite strong for someone his age, but to attempt a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment required more than that. His body needed to be stronger because without that, he wouldn’t be able to survive.

"Just use the same method as him. If you use the medicine bath, I’m sure that you’ll grow stronger," Sui Wenyan said carelessly. She herself had already passed Body Training Stage 10. Thanks to her constant training, she was actually much stronger than them and only looked slender because she made sure that she maintained her body structure.

There was no way she wanted to look like a large hulk, eh. It was not pretty.

"I won’t be able to survive." Wenren Yu’s face was grim.

"Weaklings."

The word made Wenren Yu’s face turned red. He looked at Sui Wenyan helplessly but unable to say anything more. When it came to such extreme method, he truly didn’t dare and could only concoct medicine that would help him and Lin Yun to be stronger as they trained daily.

Their strength increased slowly but surely. Lin Xiao also used the same method, but he still wanted to get more strength faster. That was how they finally used the medicinal bath for Lin Xiao.

Bang!

Punching forward, Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. Even without using any skill or anything, he still managed to destroy the tree before him. To think that there would be a day when he would be able to destroy a tree without the use of skill and just from physical body’s strength.

"Whoa, your strength had increased greatly."

"Many thanks for your guidance," Lin Xiao replied with a smile and cupped his hand.

"In that case, let’s spar again."

"Eh?"

Swish!

Before Lin Xiao could react, Sui Wenyan had already plucked her zither. The soundwave that was coated with the Qi rushed over to Lin Xiao’s direction. The speed of sound was very quick, rendering one unable to react in time at normal times. Because of this, Sui Wenyan was known to be invincible as long as she didn’t meet any freak who was as strong as hell.

Lin Xiao punched forward with Mountain Punch and the soundwave around him was dispersed almost immediately. It created a hole with him at the center that was not affected by the soundwave at all.

Sui Wenyan arched her eyebrows. The area that was covered by Lin Xiao’s punch had greatly increased. "Interesting. Come here, brat."

Tring!

Melodious sound began to ring from Sui Wenyan. She looked as if she was playing a performance, yet the soundwave that she produced headed without hesitation towards Lin Xiao as if attempting to devour the young man.

Bang! Bang!

Using Mountain Punch, Lin Xiao punched forward. His brows were furrowed when he realized that he couldn’t get close to Sui Wenyan in the slightest bit. Without hesitation, he took out his sword and began to form the stance that was required.

Mountain Sword, First Stance!

Swish!

Sui Wenyan evaded right in time, but her performance was slightly disturbed as there was slight delay. Her eyebrows arched but she was smiling. To think that there would be a day when a Body Training Rank 10 would disrupt her performance with skills alone.

How marvelous.

Tring!

As melodious sound began to ring again, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and charged straight to Sui Wenyan’s direction. His hand was holding onto the sword tightly as he looked at Sui Wenyan with extreme concentration.

There were several stances in Mountain Sword. Ever since Lin Xiao began to learn the sword, he had been trying to do the stances but failed miserably. In the end, there were only several stances that he managed to learn.

Mountain Sword, Third Stance!

The third stance was the strike that relied most on counterattacking. Using the force that the opponent had, Lin Xiao twisted his sword and then charged straight towards Sui Wenyan.

Clang!

The sword hit the zither while Sui Wenyan was looking at Lin Xiao in surprise. At the moment he came close, she found herself unable to move thus forcing her to block. Her zither was coated with Qi, which made it hard and unable to break easily.

Still, she could feel the pressure that Lin Xiao gave.

Sweat poured on her back. Just how much strength did this brat gained from a single session of medicinal bath?

Tring!

Lin Xiao jumped back to avoid the attack. His eyes landed on the zither that Sui Wenyan held. There was faint marking of his sword at the edge, signaling that the strength he exerted was actually enough to destroy the defense of the zither.

"Let’s stop here for now."
