The path to becoming strong cannot be achieved by relying solely on talent and potential, nor can it be achieved through blind hard work. The path to becoming strong is achieved step by step.
Yuan Jiu felt more admiration than envy for Yang Qi, because he knew how dangerous Yang Qi's journey had been. It was no exaggeration to say that he had escaped death many times, and that was why Yang Qi had achieved what he has today.
“The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will move backward. If you don’t try your best, it will be even harder to achieve something.” Yang Qi sighed.
Yang Qi practices cultivation not only in the pursuit of becoming a strong man, but also for his relatives and friends. He must grow up in a short period of time so that he can help his relatives and friends.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Yang is right. You and I are just a group of people on the path of seeking. Throughout history, there are too few practitioners who can truly stand at the pinnacle of martial arts."
As a cultivator of the Yuan Clan, Yuan Jiu knew many more secrets than Yang Qi. It was precisely because he knew these secrets that he truly understood how correct Wu Wuzhijing's words were.
Yuan Jiu seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but look at Yang Qi beside him and asked, "By the way, Brother Yang, why are you here at Tianxing Arena?"
The Tianxing Arena is indeed a major event in Yuantian City, but the strength of the practitioners participating in the battle is only below the mid-level Martial Emperor. Yang Qi is a late-stage Martial Emperor, but he actually came to watch the battle, which is a bit unexpected.
“Brother Yuan also knows that because of my practice, the aura on my body is very similar to that of the Yuan Clan. Not only you, but Yuan Lin also misunderstood that I was a practitioner of the Yuan Clan.” Yang Qi chuckled, and then continued, “So I am a little curious about the fighting style of the Yuan Clan, and I want to see if the Tianxing Arena can give me some inspiration.”
"Brother Yang, you really are practicing all the time." Yuan Jiu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
With great talent and potential, and the ability to not fear hardships and dangers and to practice assiduously for thousands of years, it would be really strange if such a practitioner could not achieve anything.
Yuan Jiu looked at Yang Qi and smiled, "Brother Yang, if you want to understand the fighting style of our Yuan Clan, we can have a discussion when we return to the cave. I believe you will gain more from your personal experience."
When Yang Qi heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded immediately. Having a Seven-Star Martial Emperor like Yuan Jiu was definitely more effective than watching the competition in the Tianxing Arena.
The two of them did not stay any longer and, under Yuan Jiu's leadership, headed towards Yuan Jiu's cave.
Um
As soon as he arrived at Yuan Jiu's cave, Yang Qi discovered that the two Martial King Realm guards at the door had been replaced by the two Martial King Realm guards who had previously refused him entry.
Yuan Jiu saw Yang Qi's eyes on the two guards and couldn't help but explain, "Those two guards, when someone came, they didn't even inform us. I have already dismissed them."
Yang Qi nodded. He did not have any sympathy for the two guards' plight. He could understand that they could not enter the cave without a token, but the fact that the two guards did not even inform him was a bit too arrogant.
Under Yuan Jiu's leadership, the two came directly to the cave, where there was a place specially used for practicing, testing strength and exchanging ideas.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu flashed and came directly to the arena used for competition. In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed and Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu appeared in the void.
Yuan Jiu's eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he said with emotion, "Come to think of it, when I was in Tianhuang Holy Land, I always wanted to have a fight with Brother Yang, but unfortunately I never found a suitable opportunity."
When they were in the Tianhuang Holy Land, Yuan Jiu and Yang Qi had never really fought each other directly. But since leaving the Tianhuang Holy Land, the strength and methods of both of them have changed greatly compared to before.
"I am also looking forward to fighting with you, Brother Yuan." Yang Qi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Yang, I am no match for you now, so you have to be gentle."
When the two of them compete, Yang Qi will definitely suppress his strength, otherwise this competition is meaningless. After all, Yang Qi is a late-stage 9-star martial artist. If he bursts out with all his strength, he can definitely crush Yuan Jiu. However, even if Yang Qi suppresses his cultivation and fights with him, with Yang Qi's realm, his strength is definitely above his. This time, the competition is more to let him understand the methods of the Yuan clan.
Yang Qi nodded. His body was strong and his recovery ability was amazing. Even if he held back, he was not worried about getting hurt.
Buzz~
Yuan Jiu's eyes focused, the void around him trembled, and a powerful aura surged from his body.
"Brother Yang, be careful!"
Yuan Jiu shouted loudly, his body flashed, and instantly turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Yang Qi.
Looking at Yuan Jiu coming to kill him, Yang Qi's eyes fixed, and a thought flashed through his mind, "What a fast speed! He is obviously only at the early stage of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor, but his speed is comparable to that of an Eight-Star Martial Emperor!"
Yuan Jiu's speed is pure speed. He does not rely on his speed proficiency, but rather the speed enhanced by his pure strength and physical body.
Whoosh~
Yuan Jiu shook the sword in his hand, and the attack that had been accumulated for a long time burst out from his hand in an instant, turning into a stream of light and slashing directly towards Yang Qi.
"Stop it for me!"
Facing the incoming sword, Yang Qi did not retreat but advanced instead, shaking the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, directly blocking the incoming sword light.
Boom!
The two fierce attacks collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang, and an invisible sword energy storm surged, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on Yuan Jiu who was not far away, and a thought flashed through his mind, "The power of an eight-star martial emperor, and this martial art is also quite mysterious."
After just one fight, Yang Qi already knew that Yuan Jiu possessed the combat power of an eight-star martial emperor. Being able to fight across a great realm, such a cultivator, no matter in which cultivation force, was definitely the most evil cultivator among his peers!
Seeing that Yang Qi easily blocked his full-strength attack, Yuan Jiu was not surprised at all. He laughed and said, "Brother Yang is really amazing. Come on!"
In the previous fight, Yuan Jiu could feel that Yang Qi had suppressed his own energy to a level comparable to his. With such cultivation, he had such combat power. This was the Yang Qi he knew!
Whoosh~
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Jiu flew out, wielding his sword, and rushed towards Yang Qi again.
There is no doubt that the Yuan clan is powerful. Their bodies, souls, and even their martial arts are all top-notch. Yuan Jiu, as one of the most powerful practitioners of his generation in the Yuan clan, has combat power far beyond that of practitioners of the same level.
After a fight, Yang Qi also found that the Yuan Clan had almost no obvious weaknesses. If it weren't for the fact that his strength under the suppression of cultivation was far superior to Yuan Jiu, it would not be so easy for an eight-star martial emperor to face a demon cultivator like Yuan Jiu.
