Chapter 31: The Competition
One afternoon, Li Bufan was still cultivating on the edge of the cliff, since he broke through the qi refining, his cultivation has become more handy, without that kind of rustiness and barrier, but the progress is even slower, but time can make up for everything, after a period of time, Li Bufan has reached the second level of qi refining.
A fresh breeze blew through the mountains, bringing with it a familiar and intimate atmosphere. The corners of Li Bufan's eyes moved slightly, it was the breath of his friend Yu Wenrui.
Having said that, this Yu Wenrui hasn't been here for a while, so Li Bufan can't help but miss him.
After seeing the person clearly, Li Bufan got up skillfully, walked towards Yu Wenrui, and stepped forward to talk.
"Brother Yuwen, you haven't been to me for a long time."
"Don't be surprised, the task assigned to me by the sect this time is a little troublesome, so it has been delayed for some time, but I didn't come to you as soon as I had time."
"Bu Fan, when did you cultivate to the second level of qi refining?"
Yu Wenrui was also as amazed as Zhao Wumian was when he saw Li Bufan, but what he saw now was even more shocked than what Zhao Wumian saw, the last time he saw Li Bufan was just a mortal who had just learned to refine spiritual energy, but now when they met again, the other party was already a cultivator who had reached the second layer of the qi refining period, although the interval between them was not short, but this contrast still made people sigh.
"Actually, in the ten days after you went to do the task, when I was cultivating, I suddenly felt that I had broken through the barrier of qi refining, so I was promoted, and this second layer of qi refining was also broken through just a few days ago." Li Bufan told Yu Wenrui about his experience of being promoted to Qi refining.
"Bu Fan, your cultivation is as fast as this, it is comparable to those heavenly spirit roots."
Of course, Yu Wenrui's words are actually exaggerating Li Bufan, Li Bufan's cultivation speed is naturally not as good as those heavenly spirit roots, and even the earth spirit roots are not comparable, at most he can only be regarded as the leader among the human spirit roots, however, Yu Wenrui is also a human spirit root, Li Bufan's speed is already very fast for him, plus his shock, so he will say that Li Bufan is comparable to the heavenly spirit root.
"Brother Yuwen said this, but I laughed at it, I am a spiritual root, how can I compare to those geniuses of the heavenly spiritual root."
Li Bufan waved his hand, he also knew very well that he was not as good as those real geniuses at all, he had heard from Zhao Wumian before that the two heavenly spirit roots of Hu Xinyu and Shen Anshu in this immortal selection have now reached the sixth level of qi refining, which is higher than the realm of Yuwenrui, and they have never cultivated like Li Bufan at the beginning, this kind of speed, even if Li Bufan is practicing for twelve hours a day, without eating or drinking, it is impossible to achieve it.
"By the way, since Brother Yuwen is here today, I just need Brother Yuwen's help, I don't know if Brother Yuwen may help."
"What's the matter, Bufan, just say that as long as I can help, I will definitely help you."
Seeing that Yuwen Rui agreed, Li Bufan hurriedly said: "I have just broken through the Qi Refining Force, and I can't fully grasp the power of Qi Refining, so I want to ask Brother Yuwen to have a competition with me." So that I can learn how to control your power. ”
"So that's the case, since you said it, I naturally won't refuse, don't worry, I'll be merciful."
After that, the two came to a clearing on the edge of the cliff together, and the two stood five feet away from each other, and they both posed for the competition, and the laughter just now completely dissipated, and both of them took this competition very seriously.
In the darkness, an atmosphere of solemnity gradually spread in the air. On this uninhabited peak, before the morning dew has completely dissipated, two figures are standing on the edge of the cliff.
Yu Wenrui is also a person at the fifth level of qi refining, and he has often fought with others in the family for more than ten years, so he is calm about this kind of thing.
Yu Wenrui's gaze was like an ancient well without waves, revealing a deep and calm atmosphere. His figure was not burly, but it had a heavy weight, as if the earth was stretching under his feet.
On the other side, Li Bufan also exhaled a long breath, calming down his somewhat restless heart, he wants to try to master the power brought by refining qi in this competition, and he can also be prepared for danger in the future, so this competition must go all out, anyway, he will not be injured in the competition with Yuwenrui, and he must perform it well.
Yuwen slowly raised his hands, his movements seemed slow, but they contained an indescribable rigor and strength. His aura sank into the ground and seemed to merge with the land. His eyes stared ahead, as if he wanted to see through Li Bufan's heart.
At the same time, Li Bufan stood still, his mind was as calm as water at this time, his eyes were looking at Yu Wenrui in front of him, his hands were raised gently, as if waiting for some kind of signal.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, without any sound or movement.
Then, Yu Wenrui's hands were instantly activated, and an invisible force rushed towards Li Bufan like an earthquake.
Because of Qi refining, Li Bufan's senses around him have been greatly improved, and for the power emitted by Yu Wenrui, he turned sideways and dodged it very easily.
The attack and defense of the two unfolded in an instant, their movements were as fast as lightning, and the attack and defense were intertwined into a magnificent picture.
Yu Wenrui's attack was like a flash flood, and it was overwhelming. Li Bufan, on the other hand, was like a light swallow, dancing in the wind, flexibly dodging every attack. Their battle resonated with their surroundings, and the mountains and forests seemed to cheer them on.
Yu Wenrui did not exert all his strength, and suppressed his strength to the second level of Qi refining, which was the same as Li Bufan, and did not even use some basic techniques.
Suddenly, Yu Wenrui's gaze was as sharp as an eagle, and one of his hands slashed down like a knife, straight to his neck, and when he was about to hit Yu Wenrui, Yu Wenrui's figure instantly disappeared in place and appeared behind Li Bufan. This made Li Bufan feel a chill behind him.
Without waiting for Li Bufan to react, Yu Wenrui lowered his body, stretched out a foot, and swept Li Bufan to the ground.
But Yu Wenrui did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but waited until Li Bufan got up before continuing to compete.
Yu Wenrui released a lot of water, and the sweep just now was only empty, and it did not cause any substantial damage to Li Bufan, but he fell a little heavier when he fell, but he was not injured.
Li Bufan got up quickly, the soreness of his arms and the discomfort of his body made Li Bufan look shocked, he never thought that Yu Wenrui would have such a fast speed.
He knew that he couldn't take Yu Wenrui's attack head-on, and Yu Wenrui saw that Li Bufan had already gotten up, and quickly hit again, only to see Li Bufan a carp to fight up, and immediately rolled forward, and also flashed behind Yu Wenrui, just about to learn Yu Wenrui's moves, and also wanted to put Yu Wenrui down, but when he looked up, he saw Yu Wenrui's face coming sideways, showing a smile, Li Bufan suddenly felt bad and was about to leave, but he still underestimated Yu Wenrui's speed, Yu Wenrui had already turned around and waved a palm forward, Tap him on the shoulder.
A muffled sound came, Li Bufan flew back and retreated more than a foot away, Li Bufan gasped, looked at Yu Wenrui, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Although the punch just now was very strong, in terms of Yu Wenrui's current cultivation, it would not be severely damaged.
Only then did he see clearly that it was Yu Wenrui who took advantage of his doppelganger to make a move.
This time, Yu Wenrui didn't wait for Li Bufan to stand up again, and took advantage of the situation to attack Li Bufan again.
Just as he was about to hit Li Bufan again, Li Bufan stretched out his hand.
"Stop, stop fighting."
Yu Wenrui saw that Li Bufan shouted to stop and stopped his movements, but stepped forward with a smile and picked Li Bufan up.
"It's worthy of Brother Yuwen, just a few moves of kung fu, and he defeated me."
Li Bufan stood up, let go of Yu Wenrui's hand, and patted the dust on his body because of the competition.
"Bufan, you are too humble, I also relied on cultivating a few years earlier than you, so I have accumulated some experience in fighting, as well as the power of the fifth layer of qi refining, if I don't have these things, I'm afraid that even if I come a few more rounds, I may not be able to distinguish the winner from you."
"These experiences and realms, how can they not be considered your ability, if you talk about Brother Wen of Ziqian Yu, it is."
"Bu Fan, you have never practiced before, let alone a competition, even this Qi Refining Realm has only broken through recently, but you were able to take over my moves, and even learned my moves in the competition just now, you are really a genius."
"Brother Yuwen praised it." Li Bufan said modestly.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then they each sat down to rest. At this time, Li Bufan's arm was no longer sore.
He also knew very well that Yu Wenrui definitely did not use all his strength in this competition with him, if Yu Wenrui really wanted to compete, then he might lose the battle with one move, and he would either be killed or injured.
Because the momentum exuded by Yu Wenrui's body has far surpassed that of the two people who were in Ze Xiantai back then, it was very easy for those two to kill Li Bufan at the beginning, and now this person who is stronger than them can naturally take his life more easily than them.
What's more, Yu Wenrui hasn't cast those spells yet, Li Bufan doesn't believe that he is a person from the Xiuzhen family who can't even scatter the cultivation skills, he won't. And if Yu Wenrui used the spell just now, even if he maintained the same strength as Li Bufan, he would definitely be able to solve himself within one move, and he would also be either dead or injured.
This also made Li Bufan once again realize the importance of magic in battle
This competition also made Li Bufan more familiar with the power of spiritual power in his body, and at the same time learned a lot of moves.
It can be regarded as a successful completion of the purpose of his competition with Yu Wenrui this time.
