Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

He has now reached a state of calm. Although he can increase his strength by continuously breaking the seal within his body, if he does not break the seal and overcome this bottleneck, the increased power could easily overwhelm him.

Therefore, Li Xiu and Li Duotian must now find a way to expand their tolerance and capacity for energy.

The easiest move to achieve is to unleash a powerful burst of energy.

The onlookers were very excited when they saw Lin Xiang preparing to unleash his ultimate move, as if they could already see Li Duotian, whose body was so weak in comparison, being crushed to death by his own people.

Li Duotian neither dodged nor evaded. His own strong attack was not enough for him; he needed his opponent to have a strong attack as well.

This allows him to unleash his own explosive power while simultaneously enduring the opponent's.

Only with both internal and external stimuli can one's energy reserves be increased more quickly.

It has to be said that Li Duotian is quite the cultivation fanatic. In order to achieve high-efficiency cultivation, he is willing to use such a terrifying method.

The outcome of the battle was also quite surprising; Li Duotian was defeated by the giant Lin Xiang in just one move.

With a swift chop, Li Duotian struck Lin Xiang's fat flesh, causing it to tremble violently before he fell backward.

The people below were also completely baffled, wondering why this big fat man was so good-looking but useless.

Just as Li Xiu and Li Duotian were competing to see who could defeat the most opponents on the arena, the news spread.

Such arrogant behavior quickly attracted real experts. After the two of them had taken down about twenty opponents, it was already noon.

At this point, Li Xiu and Li Duotian were both a little tired and wanted to reward themselves with a top-notch meal before continuing in the afternoon.

But then, twins arrived. The two brothers looked exactly alike, and when they came, the rest of the onlookers made way for them.

Li Xiu also felt a rare sense of pressure, it seemed that a real opponent had arrived.

Upon seeing Li Xiu and Li Duotian, the twins seemed to want to take a break, as neither of them were the type to take advantage of others' misfortunes.

After all, the fact that they dared to set up a challenge and fight for a whole morning shows that they have some skill. Although their methods were a bit arrogant, they didn't do anything outrageous.

It's unrealistic to directly cause trouble for them.

The twins introduced themselves first, with the older brother speaking first: "My name is Lü Zifeng, and I'm the eldest."

"My name is Lü Ziya, and I'm the second oldest."

"We brothers won't take advantage of your misfortune. Since you two want to improve yourselves in the ring, let's have a fair chance. After you finish lunch, we'll have a one-on-one duel this afternoon, how about that?"

Li Xiu thought to himself, "That's great!" and nodded.

These two guys have already gone this far, which is quite polite of them.

Chapter 1530 Returning to the Training Grounds to Prepare for Battle

If I had a short temper, I would just go on stage and beat them up without thinking twice.

“Lü Zifeng, Lü Ziya, right? Very well, we'll take over.”

"Since you two are so particular, we certainly won't let you down."

"Let's have a good competition this afternoon."

Afterwards, Li Xiu and Li Duotian stopped lingering on the arena and quickly recovered their strength to prepare for the afternoon's battle.

It was only at this moment that we saw Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya. Just how much prestige did they possess?

After they finished speaking, the rest of the onlookers had no objections and were very supportive of their decision.

It seems that Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya are elders in the Wuzhuang Temple. If they weren't elders, they wouldn't have such strong personal charisma.

Of course, Li Xiu wouldn't care how Lu Zifeng and Lu Ziya were so familiar with those people.

He and Li Duotian have now arrived on the second floor of the restaurant. As usual, they ordered a Class A set meal first.

At this moment, Li Xiu and Li Duotian once again realized just how beneficial good food could be for them.

The fatigue from the morning vanished immediately after those few bites of the delicious meal, and the meridians that had been activated seemed to become even more responsive.

It looks like Li Xiu will find himself performing even better in the afternoon's battle.

After experiencing this feature, Li Xiu sincerely exclaimed that the cafeteria was indeed not just a money pit.

After adjusting their mindset, Li Xiu and Li Duotian returned to their highly focused state.

To be honest, during the morning's ring match, because the people they encountered later were so weak, the two of them had relaxed.

Facing the impending fierce battle, the two of them need to be very focused and serious in their approach.

Those two, Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya, were clearly not to be trifled with, and to be honest, this was the first time Li Xiu and Li Duotian had ever encountered the twins here.

Although they are not twins, they have a deep connection that other twins cannot match.

Now that they'd encountered such a guy, Li Xiu and Li Duotian couldn't help but feel very curious. What kind of surprise would these two bring them?

If there were more opportunities after the one-on-one matches, Li Xiu and Li Duotian even wanted to try a two-on-two match with these two guys.

After all, since arriving here, I haven't tried any combat methods other than one-on-one duels.

Moreover, Li Xiu knew that since he had offended the Xuantian Sect and possibly even the Wuji Palace, he would face great pressure in the future.

If too many people come looking for trouble, it could easily escalate into a brawl. In that case, he and Li Duotian would need to face even more opponents together, and it would be necessary to take precautions.

After organizing his tasks, Li Xiu returned to the training ground with Li Duotian to prepare for the afternoon's battle.

The twins, Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya, were quite particular. After arriving, they seemed to have stayed, standing there waiting for Li Xiu and Li Duotian to return, which made Li Xiu and Li Duotian quite embarrassed.

Chapter 1531 Battle Against the Twin Brothers

While Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya were here, they didn't waste time. Besides cultivating and meditating, they also shared their cultivation experiences with the people around them, making the most of their abilities.

Li Xiu wondered if these two guys had joined any organization, and he couldn't help but become very interested in these two very thoughtful twins.

If these two guys are cultivating here alone, perhaps we could start an organization together?

After all, these two guys are very willing to help others.

This is something that other experts do not possess. Of course, Li Xiu's ideas can only be discussed after he wins this battle.

When Lü Zifeng and Lü Ziya saw Li Xiu and Li Duotian arrive, they said, "The right to choose between us as opponents is up to you."

Li Xiu didn't stand on ceremony. Since he had already said so, saying too much would only make him seem like he was being nosy.

He also said, "I'm considered the eldest brother, so I'll choose the eldest brother here."

So Lü Zifeng and Li Xiu went to one arena, while Lü Ziya and Li Duotian went to another.

This time, Li Xiu didn't specifically choose opponents with similar abilities. He knew that these two brothers respected him so much, so he had to be very serious and do his best to make them feel the respect their opponent had for them.

Li Xiu also went all out, drawing his Hongjun Sword as he and Lü Zifeng approached the stage.

Seeing Li Xiu like this, Lü Zifeng was very satisfied and nodded.

He also had a weapon, and Lu Zifeng's weapon was a very strange broadsword. The reason why this broadsword was strange was because the curves of its entire blade were very winding, and it even made people feel that it was a hook.

If Lü Zifeng hadn't explained that this was the knife he always carried, Li Xiu probably wouldn't have thought it was a knife.

The stranger something is, the more cautiously it should be treated. Li Xiu understood this principle well, and he would not underestimate his opponent because of its strange appearance.

It seems that Li Xiu can finally put his swordsmanship, which he has mastered these past few days, to good use this time.

Seeing that Lü Zifeng was ready, Li Xiu gently stroked his Hongjun Sword, showing that he was taking this time very seriously.

Although the seven stars of his Hongjun Sword are the main source of its power, this is the first time Li Xiu has personally touched and enhanced this power with his hands.

Upon seeing this gesture, Lü Zifeng's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that this was a gesture only someone who was passionately devoted to swordsmanship would make.

Such people usually have a very deep understanding of swordsmanship, so this battle will be a tough one for them.

Furthermore, the reason why Lü Zifeng is relatively well-known in Wuzhuang Temple is not only because of his own great strength, but also because he is a very humble person.

Another more important reason is that he does not belong to any organization; he is a completely self-reliant and independent cultivator.

Together with his younger brother, they would research and solve problems on their own or consult materials when they encountered them.

If anyone has any questions they want to ask them, they will answer them very patiently.

Chapter 1532 Sword Qi and the Will of the Blade

Even the Xuantian Sect once tried to recruit the two brothers, but after they refused, they couldn't cause them any trouble. That's why these two brothers have such a high reputation throughout the Wuzhuang Temple.

Of course, Li Xiu was unaware of this information during his battle with Lü Zifeng. All he knew was that his opponent was using a very strange weapon.

Moreover, this person exerted immense pressure on him, and Li Xiu had to deal with it with all his might.

On the other side, there were Lü Ziya and Li Duotian.

When Li Duotian encountered his younger brother Lü Ziya, he also fell into a very bad situation, because in terms of strength, Lü Ziya seemed to be more effective against Li Duotian.

From the arena, we can see that Lü Ziya's weapon is a folding fan, which can produce all sorts of strange and wonderful things. It seems that he has met an opponent who can counter Li Duotian.

Li Xiu wasn't too worried about this scene. He couldn't keep bringing out opponents he was good at. Sooner or later, he would encounter opponents with opposing abilities, and that would be the real test of his adaptability.

Back to Li Xiu, after both Lü Zifeng and he took out their weapons, the battle between the two sides reached a small climax.

Both of them launched their attacks directly; neither side waited for the other to attack before taking defensive action.

After Li Xiu touched his Hongjun Sword, it seemed to add a layer of all-piercing light to the sword, as if it had received its master's will. This time, the attack launched by the Hongjun Sword was even more fierce than before.

Although it still uses those stars as its energy source, the feeling it evokes—the sword intent, the sharpness that wants to pierce through everything—is indeed much stronger.

Lu Zifeng gradually revealed the true power of his sword. Although his sword resembled an upside-down hook, it began to change shape after Lu Zifeng infused it with his spiritual power.

A very thin layer of spiritual energy began to appear on the barbs of the hook, and the entire knife was becoming more and more shaped.
