Chapter 34: Yue Guang’s Breakthrough
The tranquil time at the Kunlun Mountains passed by, with the only thing of interest being the scenery, as everything else was exceedingly bland.
According to Jun Wu Xiao’s calculations, this was precisely the moment Yue Guang would break through. After all, he was cultivating, not unconscious, so she could keep track of the days that had passed.
Though ordinary people might soon forget, one must remember that after a breakthrough, every organ in the body is strengthened. This means that the brain is also enhanced, turning it akin to a computer. While not of the highest grade, it’s certainly far beyond human capabilities. If he chose to become a scientist, he might achieve great things, but that is not the path he intends to follow.
At this moment, Jun Wu Xiao was looking towards the distance, where most sounds were currently occurring nearby. He understood that Yue Guang was getting accustomed to her new power, he though:
"It seems she has broken through. It’s about time to challenge her to a fight. But first, she needs to familiarize herself with her new strength. We must fight a fair battle, though it’s not entirely fair since I have been accustomed to this power for nearly eleven years. But I believe that with a genius like her, it won’t take long for her to master this power."
He then decided to continue his own cultivation in seclusion and not to disturb her.
At this time, Yue Guang was far from idle. She wanted to master her current strength in the shortest time possible. In front of her was a massive rock, likely weighing several tons. She clenched her fist and, without holding back any strength, delivered a punch to the rock.
A loud noise resulted from the collision, and the rock shattered into numerous pieces. Seeing the large rock crumble before her, Yue Guang exclaimed:
"The strength has indeed tripled. I now understand what would happen if I had fought Jun Wu Xiao back then. Truly, not a single punch could be withstood."
"I need to quickly get used to this new power. I still have to fight him, and this time, it must be an interesting battle, I will knock him out." she continued.
A pure fighting spirit flashed in her eyes. She wanted to fight just for the joy of it, seeking nothing else. But after this fight, they might no longer battle each other.
As expected by Jun Wu Xiao, in just over a week, Yue Guang had become quite accustomed to using her current power. Now she felt confident enough to seek him out for a battle.
"It’s probably good now. It’s time to fight him on the same level." Yue Guang declared.
Afterward, Yue Guang quickly ran to find Jun Wu Xiao. Meanwhile, he was deeply immersed in cultivation, but upon sensing someone approaching, he guessed who it might be. He paused his cultivation and went out to meet her. He asked:
"Are you ready?"
"Yes." Yue Guang nodded in response.
"Good, then let’s get ready to start." Jun Wu Xiao said, becoming more serious.
However, as he was considering how to prepare for the fight, Yue Guang interjected:
"Not now. You’ve just finished cultivating, so your energy is depleted. It wouldn’t be fair to fight like this. Why don’t we take a nap and then fight after we wake up?"
Jun Wu Xiao was momentarily taken aback, having not considered this. But her point was valid, letting physical condition reach its limit was essential for effective cultivation. This also means that physical strength is seriously depleted.
"Fine. If that’s what you suggest, let’s sleep on it. Once we wake up, both of us will be in perfect condition, making the fight fairer." Jun Wu Xiao agreed.
They then ran back to their cave to sleep. Despite their eagerness for the upcoming fight, sleep came as easily as flipping a switch for them, unaffected by their current emotions.
They only needed about four hours of sleep a day, with another four hours of rest between breaks to recover some energy while cultivating.
After four hours, they woke up, and since it was already the afternoon, it seemed this fight would go on into the night.
"Why don’t we go find Dao San Qian?" Yue Guang suggested.
Jun Wu Xiao was puzzled by her suggestion, he asked:
"Why should we go find him? He’s not a match for us right now."
Yue Guang shook her head and explained:
"Not to fight him, but to have him observe the battle and also to bring us back."
Jun Wu Xiao felt this was unnecessary. He believed his judgment was right, as he had always carried Yue Guang back after their previous fights. However, he forgot that previously, his realm had always been higher than hers, but now that was no longer the case.
"Why would we need that? If you’re knocked out, I can still carry you back." Jun Wu Xiao remarked.
Yue Guang realized that he was used to thinking this way so she said:
"You’re being too optimistic. Previously, you were in a higher realm than me, which is why you could do that. But now, prepare yourself to be the one knocked out."
This realization dawned on Jun Wu Xiao. Perhaps because he had repeated this action so many times, he hadn’t considered that their realms were now equal. He admitted:
"Sorry, my mistake, but knocking me out won’t be easy. Let’s go find him now."
"Well, as for whether I can beat you or not, you’ll know later." Yue Guang said.
They then ran to find Dao San Qian, who was currently cultivating and thus at a reduced physical capacity. However, it wasn’t really a concern since he was only going to be a spectator.
"Hey, do you want to watch us fight in the same realm?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.
Dao San Qian showed genuine interest. Although he wasn’t fond of fighting needlessly, he enjoyed watching others fight, especially when both were stronger than him, promising an intriguing battle.
"Good, but why do I feel like the reason you came here wasn’t just asking me to come and see?" Dao San Qian said.
He wasn’t entirely sure, but he sensed that they might need something from him.
"Ha ha, it’s nothing difficult. We might end up knocking each other out, so we need you to drag us back to the cave after the fight."
Dao San Qian felt resigned to their audacity. If these two were fighting, they would only stop when one couldn’t move anymore. But watching such a match would indeed be more interesting, he remarked:
"Alright, I’ll come to watch, and helping out a bit won’t be a problem."
"We thank you in advance." both said in unison.
Dao San Qian saw that both of them thanked him in unison, and he already knew that he definitely had something to do this time.
Nevertheless, after all, this was not a difficult task and could be considered as a fee to watch the plays.
Jun Wu Xiao, Yue Guang, and Dao San Qian walked to the place of battle. This was also the place where the two had fought many times before.
Here, contrary to the poetic and charming scenery of the mountains and forests, it resembled more a chaotic mess.
Although a great recovery could be seen, it still could not hide the trees that had fallen to the ground, which over time had been covered by green moss. Seeing this scene, one could understand that this place had been wildly disrupted many times.
However, it’s actually quite lucky that they did not want to damage the environment too severely. Even though the Kunlun mountains were vast, they only chose this place for every fight. Although the first time was coincidental, from then on, the two of them did not change the location anymore.
After each fight, there would be an area completely disrupted by them. If they continually changed the battleground, it would destroy the scenery and the ecosystem here.
But perhaps this time they would destroy even more, as after all, their strength had increased, and so would the scale of the arena.
"Well, when do you two plan to start?" Dao San Qian asked.
He was quite looking forward to this fight, partly because he thought he could learn a lot if he watched the match between two strong individuals, and partly because he wanted to know his current disparity compared to them.
"Let’s start now. As for the rules, just the usual." Jun Wu Xiao said.
Yue Guang nodded and then picked up a rock and threw it into the sky as usual.
As soon as the rock touched the ground, that was the signal for the two people to rush into each other. They ran at lightning speed kicking up dust, creating a cloud of dust in their footsteps.
The battle that they had been anticipating finally began.
