Chapter 151 - The Sparring was Pointless
Lu Xuan had it all too easy.
He seemed as if he had no problem at all with blocking the Dragon’s attack.
Even for someone who knew little to nothing about fights, they would have been able to see how extraordinary that fight was. This was despite the fact that those who were watching the fight were elites among elites, with even National Guardians of Ming Yueyao and Chen Feng being among them.
“He’s really something. I’ve never seen someone able to take an attack from the boss so easily.”
Chen Feng’s eyes were wide open as he commented with an expression of disbelief.
If it had been the Dragon who had no problem taking attacks, that would have been something expected. However, it was the opposite happening between the two of them instead—the Dragon was the one attacking, and he was the one whose attacks were being easily deflected.
Even though the man taking the attacks was the legendary Mr. Lu, they were still very shocked.
After going through the seven-day exchange with Lu Xuan, however, he found that his initial thoughts had been wrong altogether. Lu Xuan was not just some kid with no lineage who seemed to have just popped out of nowhere.
The breadth of his realization and knowledge regarding cultivation made him feel like a very old monster instead.
If it had not been for Lu Xuan’s identity being that clear, he would have suspected that he was actually one of those old monsters in some sect or clan hidden from the world.
It was after the exchange that he truly felt that Lu Xuan’s powers were possibly above his. Lu Xuan’s knowledge of cultivation was such that so long as he was at the required level, he would have been able to bring 100 or even 200 percent of what he was capable of to the fore.
Yet, the Dragon found that all that he speculated about Lu Xuan had been completely wrong after sparring with him.
He knew very well that he was possibly not Lu Xuan’s match, yet he challenged the young man nonetheless, for worthy opponents were difficult to find, and he might have had a lot to gain if he were to allow to go full force.
However, reality had ended up dousing cold water on him instead.
Even though he had given his all into the fight, he was still unable to make Lu Xuan get serious, as the young man seemed to be able to tear down his ultimate moves without breaking a sweat at all.
The gap between the two was so huge that even outsiders would be able to see it.
Despite being of the same level, the difference between their powers was like that between heaven and earth.
That made the Dragon feel very exasperated.
Sh*t, I’m really out of my league this time, the Dragon thought.
The difference between them was so huge that it had been utterly pointless to even spar in the first place.
In his perspective, Lu Xuan was undoubtedly nothing less than a monster in human form. Be it in terms of actual powers, knowledge regarding cultivation, his grasp of tempo in combat, experience, vista, or whatever else, Lu Xuan was terrifyingly powerful in everything that could affect the end results of a battle.
Although that had been a sparring session between fellow Level Eight cultivators, the effect made it all look like it was a Level Nine fighting a Level Eight instead.
Lu Xuan was practically airtight.
“You flatter me, Chief Dragon. You’re also the strongest that I’ve met in quite a while. Be it Qiu Zhen or Song Lingfeng, nobody was able even to begin to compare to you.”
