Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

“I examined his body last time, and it was definitely him.”

Even if he is resurrected through some means, what is the reason for his current strength?

In just six months, he rose from the late stage of Martial Grandmaster to the peak of Martial Venerable.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, his combat strength is not weak; otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat Wu Pofang, who is among the top ten in the inner sect.

What exactly happened to him?

Chu Yunfan knew very well that Wang Tianba had cultivated for more than ten years before reaching the late stage of the Martial Grandmaster realm, which meant that Wang Tianba's talent was only slightly above average.

To raise one's cultivation level from the late stage of Martial Sect Realm to the peak of Martial Venerable Realm within six months, and to have real strength that is not superficial, and to defeat Wu Pofang, who is capable of ranking among the top ten in the inner sect.

Even with Chu Yunfan's top-tier talent, it's impossible for him to achieve this.

There is only one possibility to achieve this.

Wang Tianba encountered an extraordinary opportunity.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, Wang Tianba seemed to notice Chu Yunfan's attention as well. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Yunfan with a smug and provocative look in his eyes.

"Just you wait, Chu Yunfan!"

"In the inner sect competition, I will tear you to pieces, and I will repay you tenfold for all the pain you suffered!"

No one knows what Wang Tianba sacrificed in the past six months to be reborn and possess the cultivation of the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm.

Even he himself was unwilling to recall the past six months.

But at this moment, the sight of Chu Yunfan and the thought that all his pain came from Chu Yunfan brought back memories that flooded Wang Tianba's mind.

Unbeknownst to him, the immense pain and hatred in his heart caused Wang Tianba's eyes to become covered with a thick layer of blood, making them look like two blood spheres, giving people a strange and evil feeling.

However, as soon as this happened, Wang Tianba immediately came to his senses, then composed himself and walked off the competition stage as if nothing had happened.

However, Chu Yunfan had already noticed Wang Tianba's expression at that moment.

"That look in his eyes... something's off!"

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, but he just couldn't understand how Wang Tianba had become like this.

Besides Chu Yunfan, the seven peak masters in the distance had also taken notice of Wang Tianba.

"Peak Master Wu, it seems you are also hiding your true strength!"

The disciple named Wang Tianba just now used your Yaoguang Peak's signature sword technique—the "Phantom Sword Technique".

This means he's from your Yaoguang Peak, but we've never heard of Yaoguang Peak having such a powerful disciple before!

The one who spoke was Li Wujiang, the peak master of Tianji Peak.

Some people had previously said that he was sidelined with Chu Yunfan, but now that Wang Tianba has appeared, he can't help but tease Wu Zongheng as well.

Sure enough, the other peak masters immediately followed suit after hearing Li Wujiang's words.

Tian Shu Peak Master Yu Zhenxing spoke first:

"Yes, Peak Master Wu, you usually seem the most honest."

I never knew you were such a good actor!

Immediately afterward, Jian Wuchen, the peak master of Tianquan Peak, also chimed in:

"It's true, there are dark horses every year, but there seem to be more this year than ever."

One is Chu Yunfan, and the other is Wang Tianba.

You two are both quite the actors!

Upon hearing Jian Wuchen's words, the remaining peak masters all nodded in agreement.

Li Wujiang and Wu Zongheng, though they appeared to be wearing bitter smiles, were actually overjoyed inside.

With the appearance of Wang Tianba, the high-stakes gamble that the five peak masters had made regarding Chu Yunfan seems to have taken a turn for the worse.

Immediately, the five peak masters who participated in the high-stakes gamble focused their attention on Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba.

However, as the inner sect competition progressed, those who remained were all powerful inner sect disciples.

Therefore, each match began to become intense and the time began to drag.

Moreover, the inner sect competition only awards prizes to the top 100, which means that every disciple who has advanced to the current level is giving their all and will not admit defeat until the very last second.

As a result of these accumulated factors, the number of participants in the Inner Sect Competition has decreased significantly, but the competition duration has been extended considerably.

Basically, everyone has to wait more than half a day before it's their turn to fight.

Under these circumstances, Chu Yunfan no longer paid close attention to each battle.

After all, he had already observed most of the other people's swordsmanship over the past few days, and had already learned and tried what he needed to learn in previous battles.

Going to watch every battle in detail would be a waste of time.

Therefore, in addition to the chief disciples of each of the seven inner peaks, Chu Yunfan will also pay attention to Wang Tianba's battle.

Chu Yunfan spent the rest of his time cultivating.

During this time, he even returned to Tianji Peak and cultivated the "Tianji Shadowless Sword" to the highest level, greatly increasing its power.

In addition, Chu Yunfan took the opportunity to break through his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Martial Venerable Realm.

Then, by using the spiritual liquid of heaven and earth, he quickly raised his cultivation to the peak of the mid-stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, and was only one step away from breaking through to the late-stage of the Martial Venerable Realm.

"For some reason, this Wang Tianba always gives me a particularly dangerous feeling."

I need to use the remaining time to improve my skills to the maximum.

This time, we must completely eliminate Wang Tianba, this future threat!

Thinking of Wang Tianba's performance in the inner sect competition, Chu Yunfan felt no joy after his breakthrough; instead, his face was filled with solemnity.

Immediately afterwards, he used the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to conceal his cultivation level at the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm before returning to the arena.

Not long after returning to the arena, Chu Yunfan faced his next battle.

"On arena number eight, Chu Yunfan faces Jueying!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, two figures appeared instantly on the number eight competition platform.

It was Chu Yunfan and Jueying.

With Chu Yunfan and Jueying taking the stage, the atmosphere of the inner sect competition rose to another climax.

Chu Yunfan goes without saying. With his cultivation at the early stage of Martial Venerable Realm, he instantly killed Ye Feng, who was among the top ten in the inner sect. He then went on to defeat other inner sect disciples at the peak of Martial Venerable Realm, proving himself to be a dark horse.

As for Chu Yunfan's opponent, Jueying, his reputation even surpasses that of Chu Yunfan.

Because Jueying is the chief disciple of Yaoguang Peak, firmly holding a position among the top seven in the inner sect, and even has the strength to challenge for the top five.

Therefore, everyone believed that this battle would be exceptionally exciting.

Moreover, this battle is a fight for a spot in the top ten.

Therefore, even before the competition began, the inner disciples watching below couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Previously, Ye Feng and Chu Yunfan both practiced fast sword techniques, so the battle ended quickly."

Senior Brother Jueying cultivates the "Shaking Light Clone Sword," which can transform into numerous clones, each of which is incredibly realistic, enough to fool the eye.

Surely the two of them can't finish the fight in one move again!
