Meanwhile, Ji Bin of the Northern Screen Kingdom came face-to-face with Gu Xinghai on a narrow path.
Both were experts with the spear, veterans who had weathered countless battles.
Their spear techniques were largely similar-one could even say they had been cast from the same mold.
However, Gu Xinghai was currently only at the early eighth level of the quasi-saint realm, leaving him a notch below Ji Bin, who had already reached the realm's peak.
Thus, although Ji Bin held a certain advantage in this fierce battle, completely suppressing Gu Xinghai remained no easy feat. Had their cultivation been equal, Ji Bin would certainly have been at a disadvantage.
Zhao Bufan, Wang Zhu, Lin Xue, Cai Dagui, and the others were slightly lower in cultivation, generally ranging from the peak seventh level to the middle eighth level of the quasi-saint realm. They were all latecomers catching up from behind, so their cultivation naturally lagged a little behind Lin Zihan, Wang Teng, Luo Shuihan, Lin Qinqin, Jun Mo, and the others.
Ye Hua, Shui Furong, Long Chen, Fatty Zhang, Xu Feng, Huang Mao, and the others had the highest cultivation, each having reached quasi-saint realm great perfection. In the later stages of cultivation, breakthroughs grew increasingly difficult and took longer, making it easy for the Heavenly Prodigies behind them to catch up.
It was like two racing motorcycles. On a straightaway, they could open up a considerable gap of around a hundred meters, but when they reached a sharp bend, the motorcycle in front inevitably had to slow down.
That gave the motorcycle behind a chance to catch up. Once they passed the sharp bend, however, the leading motorcycle could still pull away first, though whether it could maintain its hundred-meter lead was hard to predict.
After several such sharp
