Was He Really Only Eighteen?!
I've made up my mind.
Lu Changzhi then took control of his cultivation level.
He did not intend to use his Saint Realm strength.
Both are at the Transcendent Realm level.
With a thought, a long sword appeared in Lu Changzhi's hand.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately took action, taking a step forward and increasing his speed dramatically as he attacked, causing the void to explode wherever he passed.
With Lu Changzhi's mind focused, Lu Yuan, who had been moving like a rabbit, slowed down in an instant under Lu Changzhi's complete concentration.
Although he doesn't usually practice cultivation, the food he eats, the disciples he takes on, and the efforts of his disciples are all genuine.
In an instant, Lu Changzhi instinctively exhibited a variety of reaction tendencies.
Whether to retreat or hide, what will happen next can be seen in an instant.
Instead of dodging, they went straight at each other.
The two figures clashed instantly.
Outside the array, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion group simply waited.
Even with their strength, they couldn't sense the situation inside the array. Their only option now was to wait here until it ended.
"Master, what realm has Senior Lu Yuan reached now?"
Sun Yi asked.
The powerful figure from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, who was addressed as the person in charge, gently shook his head:
"He is currently concealing his true cultivation level, but according to what was said back then, he may have already reached the Saint Emperor Realm."
"Saint Emperor." Sun Yi sighed, looking towards the location of the array, and said:
"So, what does the person in charge think will be the outcome of their sparring match?"
"It's hard to estimate." The person in charge shook his head.
"If Lu Yuan were to attack with the strength of the Saint Emperor Realm, he would win immediately, but judging from his attitude and style, that would definitely not happen."
"And if this young man is truly a descendant of Lu Lulu, there will inevitably be some variables involved; whether he wins or loses is difficult to predict."
He paused, then looked at Sun Yi and said:
What is your relationship with that boy?
Sun Yi thought for a moment:
"It has shown promise in many ways, but I cannot give a definitive judgment on its effectiveness."
The person in charge nodded:
From this day forward, regardless of victory or defeat, we will extend our best efforts to improve relations.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion possesses its own dignity and status.
However, for truly promising talents who have the potential to grow into powerful figures, status and position are not necessarily of great concern.
Having more friends means having more options.
During their conversation...
Within the array's restricted area.
Lu Yuan's heart was not at peace.
The strength of this young man was actually greater than he had expected, even much greater.
At the age of eighteen, to reach such a Transcendent Realm level, and to become Saint within twenty, such an achievement will undoubtedly bring forward the age record for breaking the Saint record by a significant margin, reaching an unprecedented level.
What he found even more incredible than these things was the overall quality displayed by the young man before him.
Generally speaking, spiritual practice is essentially a path that gets narrower and narrower as you walk down it.
When you first begin your spiritual practice, you can explore various aspects of it and even do so in parallel without conflict. Therefore, there won't be many distinctions in your initial practice.
As one's cultivation deepens, one will gradually begin to differentiate, perhaps focusing on the study of magic, the study of objects, or the study of the physical body, and so on.
To delve deeply into any aspect and reach a certain level requires an astonishing amount of time and effort.
A practitioner's time and energy are limited. The most precious time for cultivation is only during their youth and before they turn 100. At the same time, they have to attend to multiple aspects, making it very easy for them to be stretched thin and unable to manage their time and energy effectively.
He had encountered others who balanced both aspects, and although their cultivation was effective, it was mostly due to their extraordinary background, sufficient resources, and their own genius.
But those are the minority. Most people are either mediocre in both areas, or they hit a wall and turn back only to find it's too late.
However, the boy before them...
He tested the waters.
His physical body is very strong, indicating that he has undergone body training and his skill level is quite high.
He is very agile, has studied movement techniques, and has an excellent grasp of aerial palm strikes.
Judging from the composure of their reactions and responses, their mental fortitude must be extremely strong; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sustain such a high frequency of exchanges, and even appear somewhat at ease.
Even more surprisingly, the opponent's magical prowess was unbelievable; the speed at which he cast spells was in no way inferior to his physical abilities.
"Is he really only eighteen?"
The more Lu Yuan fought, the more he found it hard to believe.
He suspected that the other person had made up an age to deceive him.
Putting everything else aside, this kind of simultaneous progress in multiple aspects of cultivation is something that ordinary people, even geniuses, probably cannot reach even at eighty or eight hundred years old, let alone eighteen!
What made him most uncertain, and what alarmed him most, was the speed at which his opponent's Battle Intent improved during this short exchange.
The improvement was too fast. At first, it seemed a bit awkward, but then it was a huge leap forward.
It should be noted that although his current cultivation level is limited, his combat instincts and awareness are not greatly restricted.
These are the culmination of his many years of battles, learning, and contemplation. In the same field, these are enough to give it a foothold.
However, these qualities of the other party gave him a vague feeling that they were in no way inferior to him.
At least judging from the current sense of composure and measured progress, this is indeed the case.
But this in itself is simply too absurd.
Despite all the years of cultivation he had accumulated, he hadn't managed to create a significant gap between himself and his opponent?
If one learns on the spot during combat, then that learning ability is simply indescribable.
In fact, for Lu Changzhi, this does indeed have a sense of learning something new and applying it immediately.
These combat awarenesses were mostly obtained from Qin Li through the system.
However, having something and using it are two different things, and adjustments must be made based on one's own characteristics.
This is actually a learning process.
For Lu Changzhi, this battle is now an unprecedented display of diligence.
Staying up late at night, frantically refining and improving his combat skills.
In addition, he confirmed two things.
Firstly, judging from the current situation, the oldest person on Hidden Origin Peak is probably Qin Li, whose real age is likely at least a thousand years old.
Secondly, Qin Li's former opponents must have suffered a lot as defensive midfielders.
What you love to do is what you should pay attention to.
After exchanging blows for a while, he had noticed several opportunities to slip away and deliver a powerful blow to Lu Yuan's lower back.
However, considering Lu Yuan's experience, he did not do so.
However, one has to admire Qin Li's combat experience; it is truly remarkable. Even now, in his battle against Lu Yuan, he is not at a disadvantage at all, and on the contrary, it is enough for him to discover some of Lu Yuan's problems.
No wonder Gu Chen often sought out Qin Li to spar, even though Qin Li controlled whether he won or lost.
Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked over.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Lu Changzhi asked.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Changzhi with a solemn expression:
"You have entered the Saint Realm?"
