Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[You raised your eyebrows upon seeing this, and with a mental command, the Li Fire Technique was unleashed, instantly incinerating the strange vines entangling you.]

[Among the Five Elements, wood generates fire, and fire overcomes wood. Moreover, the Li Fire Technique was itself a divine skill of flames, possessing considerable power, making it especially effective against Wood Type techniques.]

[True Person Wan Mu's expression grew grave as he watched his technique be unraveled, and he quickly gathered spiritual power to attack you again.]

[You remained unflustered. Though your cultivation level was less than True Person Wan Mu's, you made up for it with mastery of the Earth Sword and your understanding of ultimate speed, putting you on even footing.]

[The two of you battled fiercely for several hundred rounds. True Person Wan Mu's spiritual energy was significantly depleted, and he once again took out elixirs to replenish his spiritual energy.]

[You also consumed spiritual liquid to recover your spiritual power. When it came to a prolonged battle, you were not at a disadvantage against True Person Wan Mu.]

[You originally thought True Person Wan Mu's increased cultivation level could only be maintained for a short time, but the elixir effects were incredibly potent, allowing him to sustain a Body Integration Realm cultivation for an extended fight without exhaustion.]

[You once again invoked your Sword Intent and attacked True Person Wan Mu.]

[With a thought, you murmured, "Come to me!"]

[In the next second, a strange piece of wood appeared in your hand. The wood was entirely blackened, and you sensed considerable Dao essence within it, but could not discern the reason.]

[Recognizing the uncommon nature of the wood, you put it away.]

[True Person Wan Mu was shocked to see the wood in your hand. After carefully checking his storage ring, he became furious and intensified his attack on you.]

[You remained unfazed, countering with your swordsmanship.]

[True Person Wan Mu, it turned out, also understood Sword Dao and drew a peculiar wooden sword to engage you in battle.]

[After several hundred more rounds of fierce combat, you continuously used spiritual liquid to replenish your spiritual power.]

[True Person Wan Mu also ingested a number of elixirs, many of which seemed to temporarily boost his cultivation level.]

In the real world, Su Xing witnessed this scene and thought to himself:

"Wan Mu Sect, you truly are an alchemy school... so many elixirs to boost cultivation and recover spiritual energy!"

"Could they be the richest among the three major sects?"

With this thought, Su Xing's resolve to kill True Person Wan Mu grew even stronger.

He glanced at the simulation panel.

[The battle continued. That blackened wood seemed extremely important to True Person Wan Mu, his face growing more anxious as he desperately tried to retrieve it.]

[Thus, you clashed for dozens more rounds.]

[Finally, you seized an opportunity, slashing off one of True Person Wan Mu's arms with a stroke of Sword Qi.]

[True Person Wan Mu screamed in agony but quickly gritted his teeth and frantically channeled spiritual energy.]

[Through your Divine Sense, you perceived a viridescent energy rapidly regenerating True Person Wan Mu's arm. In just a few breaths, he had fully regrown the limb!]

[You were deeply shocked.]

[Limb regeneration was an ability only strong practitioners in the Chaos Origin Realm could achieve, and even they could not do it this quickly.]

[You realized the issue lay with the green spiritual energy. While wood-attribute spiritual energy could indeed heal wounds, it could never do so this rapidly.]

[You vaguely suspected... could it be that True Person Wan Mu had grasped the basics of the Great Dao of Wood?]

[Much like your comprehension of ultimate speed included elements of thunder and sword dao...]

[True Person Wan Mu's rapid regeneration ability was likely a fundamental aspect of the Great Dao of Wood.]

[Your expression turned serious. If this were true, while Origin Power was not particularly aggressive, its defensive and regenerative properties could be incredibly daunting.]

[For you, this was an even more challenging battle!]

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being a prodigy! He's grasped even the basics of the Great Dao of Wood... he's probably not far from breaking into the Body Integration Realm!"

Su Xing sighed, understanding that killing True Person Wan Mu had just become a bit harder.

He glanced at the simulation panel.

[After True Person Wan Mu's wounds healed, he looked at you with growing hatred.]

[Desperate to reclaim the piece of wood, he knew you were at the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.]

[Being at the Body Integration Realm himself, he believed your Divine Sense power was certainly inferior to his.]

[Thus, True Person Wan Mu proactively employed a Divine Sense attack technique against you.]

[You were delighted to see this, amazed that True Person Wan Mu had exposed such a flaw.]

[Facing True Person Wan Mu's Divine Sense attack, you neither dodged nor rushed, simultaneously releasing your Divine Sense, transforming it into a golden cauldron to strike back against his Divine Sense.]

[Boom!]

[The two Divine Senses collided, sending immense ripples through the air, almost changing the color of the heavens.]

[At the moment of collision, True Person Wan Mu sensed something was awry; your Divine Sense was considerably stronger than his!]

[As the two Divine Senses clashed, it was too late for True Person Wan Mu to retract his Divine Sense.]

[You pressed on, severely damaging True Person Wan Mu's Divine Sense.]

[He spewed blood immediately after the Divine Sense attack, his aura greatly diminished, clearly heavily injured.]

[You then withdrew your Divine Sense, feeling a rush of joy, and charged at True Person Wan Mu!]

[Another few hundred rounds of fierce combat ensued.]

[However, after the Divine Sense injury, True Person Wan Mu's spiritual energy became unstable, significantly weakening his power. He could only rely on his regenerative abilities to swiftly heal, trying to prolong the fight.]
