Chapter 40: The Peak of Low Martial Arts

When Zhang Fan's strength has actually reached the pinnacle of the known rivers and lakes in this world, and Zhang Ruzhen in his previous life is not much stronger, it seems that it is difficult to find many opponents who can match him.

At the beginning, in the shield of Qiankun, he could also improve his strength by recovering the battle with the Lintian Heavenly Camp, and in about a year, he broke through to the cultivation realm of the twenty-second order spiritual power and the fourth rank of the inner gate. After that, even without the help of external forces, the Lintian Tianying in its intact state was no longer its opponent.

Zhang Fan began to combine the memories of Zhang Ruzhen in his previous life, invited the junior immortal cultivator he had encountered in the peak battle of the Yunshan Sect back then, and challenged him together with many masters of the West Sea Continent that he had encountered.

The immortal cultivator that Zhang Ruzhen had encountered in his previous life was proficient in three kinds of spells: among them, the flying sword technique, and his attack power was very powerful. Even if the Qiankun shield is in his own hands, it is difficult to effectively block the opponent's blow. The difference between the "fairy sword" of immortal cultivators and mortal metal is also vividly reflected.

At the same time, the melee fireball technique is almost indestructible, and although the fireball does not look big when it explodes, it can easily dissolve more than a person's radius of soil or stone into nothingness. If one is not careful, they will be beaten in melee combat

At the same time, it seems that this immortal cultivator also has an air shield as strong as a steel plate, and this air shield is also quite elastic and has a strong defensive ability. Even today's Zhang Fan is difficult to break through the opponent's protective air shield with a single attack, if he doesn't know the inside story of the top martial arts master, dealing with it is like facing a god and Buddha who can't be shaken at all, which makes people's hearts furious.

However, Zhang Fan, who had defeated this person in his previous life, of course also understood that the shortcomings of this lowest-level Qi refining level immortal cultivator were there, that is, the mobility means were very weak, and they were not much stronger than ordinary Outer Gate peak martial arts masters. The dodge ability is even compared to many mid-stage military masters in the outer gate.

At the same time, the flying sword's encirclement range is also limited to sixty or seventy paces away, and the farther it goes, the less sensitive it is to control. Unlike such an opponent to engage in a close and medium confrontation, but to constantly carry out attacks and retreats from a hundred paces away, which lasted for about an hour, and there seemed to be no problem in laying the victory or defeat after wasting the many attack energy in the opponent's flying sword.

According to Zhang Fan's estimate: Compared with the Jin Guang Venerable in "Mortal", this person's strength is half a catty. With Zhang Fan's cultivation and strength now obviously surpassing his previous cultivation and strength, and even more powerful long-range attack ability, it would probably take about two quarters of an hour to force that person to admit defeat.

"I really didn't expect that the martial artists in the mortal world would also have people who cultivated martial arts to a realm like you, but unfortunately you don't seem to be young anymore. I can only try to break through the realm by myself, and maybe I will have the opportunity to worship under our giant sword gate at that time... ”

If this opponent was real, Zhang Fan certainly didn't mind chatting more about things with this immortal cultivator from the Boundless Continent in the east, but considering that Qiankun in Hedun often had various discrepancies with the facts as long as he didn't know about simulating many things and people, in order to avoid being misled, he still gave up this plan.

Subsequently, Zhang Fan started a relatively boring martial arts cultivation process, especially after there was no longer a place to practice in the entire shield virtual universe that could absolutely guarantee the authenticity. In fact, at this time, Zhang Fan could still choose to absorb other people's internal strength to improve his cultivation as he did in his previous life, but Zhang Fan always felt that even if this method did not feel any hidden dangers, it might not bring any risks in the future cultivation process, so he would rather endure some overdrafts in life and time to take some risks. Without any medicine, adventures, absorption, or the like, I simply relied on the skills I had gained through hard cultivation, and it was obvious that all kinds of hidden dangers and ills should be much smaller.

In the blink of an eye, since the defeat of the Lintian Heavenly Camp and the retreat again, Zhang Fan has been cultivating again in this shield for about thirteen years. At that time, he was in the prime of life, and gradually entered the age of middle-aged people, which is about forty-five years old.

The realm of martial arts has finally been cultivated from the realm of the third rank of the inner gate, which had just begun to retreat, to the peak of the ninth rank of the inner gate, and the spiritual power has also been raised to the level of about the twenty-fourth order. It should be said that if it weren't for the achievements in spiritual power to break through to the Outer Gate Extreme Realm, the subsequent cultivation would never have been able to reach the speed of improving one grade in an average of two years so smoothly without much medicine and other auxiliary means.

At this time, Zhang Fan also felt that perhaps as long as he passed through a certain opportunity, such as a close battle or a battle with a certain degree of difficulty, his cultivation might be able to break through the threshold of the transformation realm. Moreover, with his current strength, he has been able to release his internal force in a situation like a spell, and according to Zhang Fan's calculations, to a certain extent, he has truly possessed the strength of a high-level Qi refining level immortal cultivator. The three million troops of the Lintian Heavenly Camp and even the Four-Nation Alliance, which had once made it difficult for him, could now be swept away in less than a quarter of an hour with Xiao Xuan's strength. In the case of sufficient internal force, the thundering technique upgraded from the thundering palm, as a kind of sonic exercise, also replaced the previous "100 steps and 100 blades without shadow needles" and became the most efficient exercise in terms of abusing vegetables. The "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" can also officially form a terrifying long-distance killing ability without relying on the physical object, just by relying on the invisible internal strength. It seems that his own strength in the exercises has reached a certain limit on the West Sea Continent.

At this moment, a light curtain flashed out, and it turned out to be Xia Yumeng, who had been cultivating in the illusion for more than twenty years, and walked out. At this time, Xia Yumeng has gone through the long-term cultivation of Qiankun in the shield, and is no longer the somewhat introverted and shy girl in her twenties, and seems to have become a middle-aged woman in her forties.

Zhang Fan can feel that Xia Yumeng has now become a top master of the inner gate seven grades, and he can break through from the middle stage of the outer gate martial artist to the top master of the inner gate seven grades in more than 20 years under the condition of very scarce cultivation resources, which undoubtedly makes Zhang Fan have to be impressed by Xia Yumeng's qualifications.

"Maybe she really has the hope of breaking through the Transformation Realm and embarking on a journey to the Boundless Continent with her?"

Xia Yumeng saw Zhang Fan again, but her eyes were full of tears, full of apologies, and even unexpectedly knelt down in front of Zhang Fan: "Fan'er... I... I'm sorry... I have not been able to pass the test ... ”
