Seeing that neither of their methods would work, the two fell silent once more.
As favored sons of heaven, they could be defeated by enemies, and they could fail to overcome certain hurdles.
After all, no one in this world could remain undefeated, much less win every battle.
But being forced to withdraw from this trial because they had nothing to eat was something they could never accept.
At that thought, Ling Dao looked up at Jun Lin. "Fellow Daoist, I see your clothes are still worth something. Why not give them to me?"
Facing Ling Dao's unfriendly gaze, Jun Lin said calmly.
"Don't entertain such a law-of-the-jungle idea. It won't work."
"Setting aside whether you can be certain of defeating me in your current state, even if you happen to win, I'll immediately undo my seal."
"Once my seal is undone, do you still think you'll be my match?"
"If we attack each other, we'll only end up mutually wounded. We should think carefully about how to break this deadlock instead."
With that, Jun Lin continued searching the streets for an opportunity.
Ling Dao sighed softly at the sight, then chose to travel alongside Jun Lin.
What Jun Lin had said was right. If he defeated him in this state, Jun Lin would most likely undo his seal at once.
Once the seal was undone and his cultivation restored, whether he could kill Ling Dao was uncertain, but he could certainly eliminate Ling Dao from this trial as well.
After all, Chen Changsheng had never forbidden geniuses who restored their cultivation from attacking those still undergoing the trial.
"Honored guests, come in and have a look! The girls inside are guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Jun Lin and Ling Dao walked down the street, their vision darkening from hunger.
