Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 379 - Dong Fang's Visit
Two hours passed.
Zhang En stopped cultivating it and stood up. The results of cultivating here for four hours surpassed his one-month effort of cultivating in the Sacred Tiger World.
Zhang En took a deep breath as he felt an increase in pressure coming from all directions. Summoning the portal gate with a swift hand seal move, he flew through the portal and returned to the Sacred Tiger World.
Upon returning, Zhang En was overwhelmed with a sense of exhaustion, like he was about to faint in an instant. He quickly sat in a meditation pose, swallowed the healing pill and began his instant recovery ability to replenish his depleted Qinya.
...
One day later,
Zhang En summoned the Demonic World Portal back when he had recovered, going to another area. Once again he fell into an endless stretch of sand. Looking at his surroundings, Zhang En determined it was the same location where he cultivated before. He then tried to go further and stopped in a certain area.
Four hours later, he returned again to the Sacred Tiger World like the first time.
That process repeated itself day after day, turning into his routine.
...
One month later.
During this one month, every time Zhang En passed through the demon world portal, in order to cultivate there, he would only return when his Qi was depleted to recuperate, and then return again to cultivate.
In the process of repeatedly within that one month period, Zhang En realized one thing, the place where he appeared next would always be the last location before he left. What frustrated Zhang En was the fact that he was still stuck in the barren wasteland even after a month. Perhaps, just as Long Xioba had said, relying on his current prowess, even if he stepped relentlessly for half a year in that wasteland, he said, he still would not be able to leave that barren wasteland towards another area he did not know about.
Thus, other than the dry dunes and sand, Zhang En still did not find any other living beings in the Demon World. Even one plant..
Long Xioba then spoke in his mind, "With your current strength, it would be extremely dangerous if you were to encounter one of the living beings of the Demonic World. What more if their powers are stronger than yours..."
After hearing the Old Dragon's words, Zhang En no longer tried to attempt to leave the desert, focusing on absorbing spiritual energy and continuing to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, eight months passed.
And the eight months of cultivation in the Demon Realm, the results were better than Zhang En had expected. Eight months of cultivation there was even more beneficial than him cultivating in the Sacred Tiger World for a decade or so, which would only deplete his supply of Golden Pills.. After eight months, the day before the battle competition between outer disciples, Zhang En finally broke back into the realm of an Early Stage Two-Star God Emperor.
“Tomorrow is a competition between outer disciples. If Du Leng, Wang Biao, and the other boys knew that you had already broken through to the Second Star God Emperor realm, they would probably be scared and die silly on the spot. ”
Long Xioba's words were not exaggerated.
Even though the competition had yet to begin, he could already imagine the scenes and expressions of those genius disciples and especially the Fire Spirit Sect Master, Lin Ming, the, when they realized that Zhang En had become a Second Star God Emperor realm cultivator.
Everyone should remember, three years ago when Zhang En passed the new disciple assessment selection, he was merely a Semi Emperor God realm cultivator. However, in just a few years later, he had broken through to the Second Star God Emperor realm.
Zhang En chuckled listening to Long Xioba sighed. Following his current cultivation speed, in two more years he might be able to break through back into the Three Star God Emperor realm.
In fact, within seven to ten years, he would definitely be able to break through to the realm of the True God Realm.
After breaking through to the True God realm, one was considered a medium-level God who had crossed a very important dividing line. There were many masters or experts who were stuck at this stage throughout their lives, unable to break through the barrier to the intermediate level True Divinity realm.
A medium-level God cultivator, wherever they went, including in the Strong and large clans, would easily accept a position equivalent to that of an Elder.
...
Just as Zhang En was walking out of his residence, he met his eldest Senior Brother, Dong Fang, who had come personally to meet him
"Junior sister, you're finally out in the fry"
When he saw Zhang En coming out of his closed seclusion, Dong Fan's face showed a hint of excitement as he smiled, "Tomorrow is a fighting competition between outer disciples, if you still don't come out today, then, I'm afraid our Master will drag you out in seclusion.”
Zhang En scratched his head timidly, chuckling lightly to hide his awkwardness.
“I know you like to drink wine, so today I brought you a nice wine. Come, let's fellow brothers drink good wine.” Dong Fang took a step and pulled Zhang En into the garden behind the palace, opened the wine jug and drank with Zhang En.
“I heard the news that Dy Leng and Wang Biao have broken through to the Two-Star God Emperor realm. Most importantly, it seemed like Wang Biao had reached the stage of becoming a Second Star. ” Dong Fang added words as he observed Zhang En carefully, “He has announced that he will defeat you at the competition stage tomorrow. Little brother, you have to be careful in the competition tomorrow. ”
Zhang En felt his heart moved by the worry in his Eldest Senior Brother's eyes. He smiled convincingly at Dong Fang and said, "First brother can rest assured to me, it won't be easy for Du Leng, Wang Biao, or whoever it is that will defeat me."
Even if they were intermediate stage Two Star God Emperor realm cultivators, Zhang En had the confidence to leave his opponent with half a life in just one hit.
Since Huang Xiaolong was hiding his aura, even Dong Fang was unable to see his true cultivation level. Therefore, despite knowing that Zhang En had extraordinary talent, Dong Fang still did not believe in Zhang En too much to defeat Wang Biao or Du Leng.
Not only Dong Fang, the entire Fire Spirit Sect disciples, not a single one of them believed that Zhang En would be able to reclaim the rank.first in the battle competition this time around. Most of them agreed that the outer disciples who would enter the first rank of the outer disciple conpetition this time were Du Leng or Wang Biao, not putting Zhang En on their list.
Then, Dong Fang continued, “In addition, Du Leng not only broke through, I heard he had developed the highest secret technique of their Du Clan, he has a terrifying body regeneration power! His strength might be even scarier than that Wang Biao!”
Seeing the indifference on Zhang En's face, Dong Fang knew that Zhang En really wasn't afraid to face on the two names he mentioned just now, but Dong Fang could only shake his head silently looking at Zhang En's indifference and was ordinary.. However, he did not say more about it anymore.
The two continued to drink while Dong Fang talked about matters related to cultivation. Three hours later, Dong Fang finally left.
After Dong Fang left, Long Xioba said with a hint of excitement and excitement, “Lock, obviously no one believes that you will be able to win the competition that will start tomorrow, even your eldest Senior Brother even feels that you are not Du Leng or Wang Biao's opponent. Ha Ha Haa's... You have to be epic at the competition tomorrow.”
Zhang En grinned and replied, "He he he.... I can't blame all of them if they don't believe I can't win first place. Wait until they see for themselves and feel for half my strength."
