I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

In this way, the burly man and Qiu Yan started a tug-of-war, but this situation did not last too long, because although the burly man's brain was not as flexible as Qiu Yan's, he was also a great spiritual master of more than 140 levels, and he was also a man who had experienced many battles, so he quickly discovered Qiu Yan's purpose. After thinking that Qiu Yan wanted to use the method of pulling to consume his spiritual power and then try to defeat him, the burly man simply stopped his lukewarm attack.

He stood up straight and put the big hammer to the ground with a dull sound. Then he held the hammer with one hand and pointed at Qiu Yan with the other hand and said, "Little girl, I know what you want to do, but you can't defeat me with this method. Give up, otherwise you will really get hurt."

Although the burly man had a fierce look on his face and looked like a villain, what he said was indeed out of consideration for Qiu Yan. And up to now, the burly man did not use his real skills to fight Qiu Yan because he did not want to hurt Qiu Yan.

"Senior, I know it's difficult to defeat you with my strength, but I won't give up. Please give me some advice!" After saying that, Qiu Yan bowed to the burly man with a very respectful attitude. After all, Qiu Yan was a person who knew what was good for him. He knew that what the burly man said was for his own good.

After hearing what Qiu Yan said, the burly man looked at Qiu Yan, and then said to Qiu Yan expressionlessly, "Okay! In that case, I will fight with you in an upright battle!" After the burly man finished speaking, his spiritual power began to boil, and the earth attribute spiritual power enveloped his whole body, even the big iron hammer was enveloped by the thick spiritual power. Qiu Yan saw this and knew that the burly man was going to get serious, so she frowned and became more alert.

After the burly man wrapped his whole body with spiritual power, he picked up the big hammer again, and then he rushed towards Qiu Yan as he saw Qiu Yan bend his body slightly. The burly man wrapped his body with spiritual power increased his speed a lot. Qiu Yan didn't react for a while, so he had no time to dodge and could only use spiritual power to resist. However, the burly man's strength was really too great. Before he had not used his full strength, Qiu Yan felt very tired when he took his hammer, and now Qiu Yan couldn't take it at all. After hearing the sound of metal collision, Qiu Yan was blown away by the huge force. If the middle-aged man hadn't set up a barrier here before, Qiu Yan estimated that he would be blown out of the octagonal tower by this blow.

Bang! There was another sound, and Qiu Yan's body hit the barrier fiercely. However, because Qiu Yan had made this preparation in advance, he was not seriously injured this time. But even so, Qiu Yan still felt a surge of blood. If he hadn't suppressed it in time, he would have spurted out another two ounces of blood!

After being knocked away by the blow, Qiu Yan also completely understood the difference in strength between himself and the burly man. At this time, Qiu Yan knew that he could no longer directly take the burly man's attack. So after hitting the barrier, Qiu Yan had no time to adjust his state. Before the burly man's next attack came, Qiu Yan quickly dodged and pulled a distance from the burly man, and then began to adjust his injuries.

The burly man was a power-type practitioner. His main attack method was to use strength to suppress his opponent. For power-type practitioners, close combat was their strong point. And he could see from the previous attack that Qiu Yan was indeed no match for him in terms of strength. Every practitioner knew that he had to play to his strengths in battle, and he would not give up his advantages at this time.

So, after seeing Qiu Yan distance himself from him, the burly man rushed towards Qiu Yan without saying anything, wanting to fight with Qiu Yan in close combat again. The fourth floor of the octagonal tower was not very large, and coupled with the restriction of the barrier, the burly man rushed to Qiu Yan in one step and smashed him with a hammer. Qiu Yan felt miserable when he saw this! Thinking that the burly man's speed was not very fast before, he could still dodge and pull with the advantage of speed, but now that the burly man's speed has increased, he can't avoid it at all, and the situation has become passive, so he has to force himself to fight the burly man head-on.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several collision sounds rang out in succession, and Qiu Yan was forced to forcibly take on several more attacks from the burly man. Although these attacks were not as powerful as the previous one, Qiu Yan still took them reluctantly. In order to take on these attacks from the burly man, Qiu Yan did not save his spiritual power anymore, because even if Qiu Yan used all his strength, it would be difficult to take on these attacks. If he dared to hold back, Qiu Yan was afraid that he would really be smashed to death by the big iron hammer.

The situation was developing in a way that was unfavorable to Qiu Yan, and he was anxious at this moment. Although he could still fight with the man for a few more moves, if this continued he would definitely be the loser in the end, there was no doubt about that.

The burly man's attack continued, and the offensive became more and more fierce. Qiu Yan was obviously unable to withstand it at this time. He kept retreating, thinking about how to deal with it as he retreated. However, after thinking about it, Qiu Yan could not think of any good way to deal with it. After all, there was still a gap in strength, and these gaps could not be made up by some small tricks.

"What do you think, little girl? Are you ready to admit defeat now?" The burly man asked calmly while attacking Qiu Yan with a hammer.

Hearing the burly man's words, Qiu Yan's face turned ugly. This time he did not decisively reject the burly man, but hesitated for a while before saying to the burly man with a firm look, "Senior, I will not admit defeat on my own initiative!" When Qiu Yan said this, the corner of his mouth was bleeding due to the powerful force. Although Qiu Yan looked very embarrassed now and had no hope of winning, this was Qiu Yan's first prefectural-level certification. Qiu Yan really didn't want to give up like this. Even if he really lost in the end, he had to at least hold on until he couldn't hold on any longer.

The burly man was not surprised by Qiu Yan's answer. After getting this answer, the burly man did not say anything else, but just increased the intensity of his attack, as if he wanted to make Qiu Yan give up.

What should I do? Am I going to lose just like that? Is there such a big difference between level 146 and level 140? Qiu Yan was thinking about these things quickly in his mind while enduring the attack from the burly man.

Qiu Yan sorted out the attack methods he could use in his mind, but now he had no other attack methods except Soul Lock and Golden Light Palm, but these two attack methods could not cope with the current situation, which made Qiu Yan very helpless. Thinking of Qiu Yan, he felt like laughing, because according to Qiu Yan's previous estimate, this battle should end soon, and it would end with his complete victory, but what Qiu Yan did not expect was that after the burly man's speed increased, he reversed the situation in an instant, making all his previous calculations useless.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan once again felt that he should increase his speed, otherwise he would not be able to stay passive all the time. However, now was not the time to think about these things. Now he had to think about how to turn the situation around and give himself a chance to win, otherwise he would lose if he continued like this!

Qiu Yan's mind was a little confused at this time, because he couldn't think of any way to turn the situation around. After all, his strength was too different from that of the burly man, and his cultivation was not as good as that of the burly man, so he had no hope at all in close combat.

"Why not just admit defeat!" Qiu Yan, who was at a loss for a solution, made this voice in his heart, because if he couldn't get rid of the current situation, he would definitely lose, and if the ending was already determined, Qiu Yan felt that there was no reason to persist.

After thinking about giving up, Qiu Yan's heart began to waver. However, he did not directly tell the burly man that he was giving up, but kept hesitating in his heart, because he was really unwilling to give up. This was like playing a game, and finally reached the last level, and was about to pass the level and get the reward, but was stumped by this last level. This kind of thing is so annoying no matter how you think about it!

Qiu Yan is not a competitive person. If this battle was not important to him, Qiu Yan would have admitted defeat long ago, or Qiu Yan would not have come here at all. But who made this battle more important to Qiu Yan! You know, Qiu Yan's goal is to enter the top three of the genius competition, and then obtain the qualification to practice in the secret realm, and this battle is his first battle to reach his goal, or the first step. If he can't even take this first step, then what is he talking about the top three in the genius competition! So, although he knew in his heart that he had no way to win, Qiu Yan still hesitated and didn't say the word "admit defeat".

Qiu Yan was hesitant, not knowing whether he should admit defeat. The burly man's attack continued, but compared to before, the burly man's attack was obviously much slower and much weaker. At this time, Qiu Yan found that the spiritual power wrapped in the burly man became thinner than before. Seeing this, Qiu Yan's mind suddenly flashed with a golden light, and he immediately thought of a way to win!

Generally speaking, the amount of spiritual power in a cultivator's body is related to his level of cultivation. Although cultivators can replenish their spiritual power through spiritual seals during battle, the spiritual power that can be replenished by a first-level great spiritualist is limited and cannot meet the needs of battle, especially when more spiritual power is consumed. At this time, the spiritual power that can be replenished by the spiritual seal cannot meet the needs of battle. Therefore, the spiritual power that cultivators can use at this time is generally the spiritual power stored in the body, or more precisely, the spiritual power stored in spiritual pills or spiritual power cyclones.

However, the spiritual power in the body is limited. Although under normal circumstances, the spiritual power that a great spiritual master of level 100 can store is enough to deal with some battles, if the battle lasts for a long time, the spiritual power will be exhausted. Once the spiritual power of a cultivator is exhausted, the cultivator's strength will be greatly reduced, and even after the spiritual power is exhausted, the cultivator will be no different from an ordinary person. Qiu Yan understood this when he was in Xichu Town.
