Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 515 - 513: Friends

Martial Temple.

The wind and snow swayed ceaselessly, the snow falling ever harder.

Behind the Martial Temple, layered prohibitions were connected, and a huge dojo surrounded by protective restrictions stretched across, its stone-paved ground now completely covered by accumulated snow.

Indeed, it was an excellent place for a friendly contest.

"Fellow Daoist Ning."

Lin Guo, carrying a long spear, smiled and said, "Limited to a hundred moves, you can only use martial artist techniques. If within a hundred moves, Fellow Daoist has not been defeated, Lin Guo will willingly gift the inherited Four Symbols Spear Technique; is that so?"

"Indeed."

"Then if Fellow Daoist Ning loses, could you return the two treasures to my aunt? Although we had no such agreement before, wouldn’t it be disappointing if the stakes were one-sided?"

"So be it."

Ning Daoran slightly raised his eyebrows, smiling, "If Lin Wuxian can truly force me to admit defeat within a hundred moves, how about I return the two Spiritual Treasures regardless?"

For a moment, Snow Soul True Monarch, standing by the side of the field, revealed a joyous expression.

"Snow Soul Taoist."

Ning Daoran glanced at her and said, "Don’t celebrate too early; I am almost determined to win this battle."

"Oh?"

Lin Guo couldn’t help but smile: "It seems that after ascending to Nascent Soul, Fellow Daoist Ning has indeed gained much confidence."

"Indeed."

Ning Daoran flicked his long spear: "Lin Wuxian, shall we begin?"

"Come!"

Lin Guo held her long spear across her body, and the Martial Artist Qi Mechanism burst forth. Streams of the Four Symbols Realm flowed around her spear, and this famous genius female martial artist from the Imperial City was indeed extraordinary, her talent in the martial artist path extremely terrifying.

Even, Lin Guo’s martial aura was nearing the Mixed Element Middle Stage!

"Buzz!"

Ning Daoran rose into the air, with the Dragon Demon Realm surging behind him, not hiding his techniques and directly calling upon the power of the Twenty Fifth Layer Dragon Demon, slashing down from the sky with a fierce spear!

For a time, the wind swept through and the snow returned, creating a stunningly beautiful scene!

"Well met!"

Lin Guo thrust her spear as well, and immediately the sound of a Green Dragon’s roar reverberated. The Spear Radiance flowed as if a real Green Dragon adhered to the long spear, compressing the entire space to rapidly twist.

"Boom~~~"

A loud bang, the Big Green Dragon and Lin Guo’s long spear collided.

Instantly, both were shaken back. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

The terrifying aura exploded instantly, and countless snowflakes were repelled, and the entire world "buzzed" – the tiles beneath the snow shattered!

"How...how strong..."

Snow Soul True Monarch’s mouth hung slightly open.

She had faced Ning Daoran in a dreamlike realm, and he had not used such physical strength then; otherwise, she would have been defeated even faster!

For a time, Snow Soul True Monarch’s mood became extremely complicated.

The opponent’s first spear had matched Lin Guo equally; her life-bound item might really not be recoverable.

...

In the air, Ning Daoran’s second spear descended!

Secret skill, Silver Dragon Water Collection!

Lin Guo raised her spear horizontally to block, accompanied by a loud bang. Although she blocked the spear, the ground beneath Lin Guo’s feet "boom" sank several meters, the invisible Qi Mechanism crushing down, and the stone floor beneath cracked in a spider-web pattern!

Even more critical was that the Big Green Dragon was extremely resilient, with the spearhead swaying below, bursting forth with a powerful suction. Suddenly countless broken bricks flew up and swirled around the spearhead. Ning Daoran’s body sank, sweeping out with his body, and the Big Green Dragon, wrapped with a mass of broken rocks, slashed towards the opponent!

"Break!"

Lin Guo shouted, her spearfire flaring up, with a Vermilion Bird Dharma Form condensing on the spear’s radiance, instantly melting and vaporizing the numerous rocks, then with a burst of force, she thrust towards Ning Daoran.

With his Blood Qi humming nonstop, Ning Daoran twisted his body and slammed his spear down, instantly deflecting her strike, and at the same time a powerful kick aimed at her face with all his might.

Lin Guo stomped her feet into the ground, sinking several feet to dodge the kick, but the Dragon Demon Gang Wind that swept past her face still made Lin Guo feel as though her face had been scraped by a knife, instilling an even greater resolve in her heart.

After ascending to Nascent Soul, Ning Daoran’s Martial Artist Gang Qi was not just a little stronger than before; compared to the past, it had truly transformed, every punch and kick now possessing the style of a grandmaster!

"Could it be..."

A chill surged through Lin Guo’s heart.

He who dual cultivates magic and body, has he also ascended to the Fourth-order Mixed Yuan in the Martial Artist Realm?

It seemed to confirm her thoughts; the moment Ning Daoran’s next spear swept down, behind him appeared a majestic figure, half of its body covered in scales, with a pair of Dragon Horns on its forehead, and a pair of eyes that looked down upon all, radiating a feeling of an unmatched edge!

Dragon Demon Martial Infant!

At this moment, Lin Guo confirmed directly that the opponent indeed possessed a Martial Infant!

Disaster!

Her family’s inherited spear technique was in jeopardy!

Her aunt’s life-bound item also could not be retrieved!

Lin Guo was filled with mixed feelings, just giving a rueful smile, and then with a strong will to fight in those beautiful eyes, she regrouped and fought Ning Daoran again in her prime state!

Actually, this duel was also an extremely valuable tempering experience for Lin Guo, given that her opponent’s cultivation of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture seemed to have reached an incredibly high level. Such an opponent was not someone easily found.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, please do not hold back!"

Lin Guo’s fighting spirit grew stronger as the battle went on, with her blood Qi surging throughout her body.

"Lin Wuxian, the same goes for you!"

Ning Daoran was enveloped in swirling blood Qi, looking as though he was possessed. Although his spear attacks seemed ordinary, the burst of Spear Radiance in the moment of execution felt like a world-destroying force, wrapped in a tremendously powerful vigor!

Meanwhile, Snow Soul True Monarch watched on, dumbstruck.

It was said that martial artists of the same tier were the natural nemesis of cultivators, and now it seemed this was indeed the case.

Both Lin Guo and Ning Daoran possessed martial prowess that surpassed their peers, and for cultivators of the same tier to meet either of these two, it was simply a nightmare.

Once they managed to get in close, it would be hard to break free, and one might be suppressed without even a chance to use Instant Teleportation!

Thus, a monumental battle between two monster-level Primordial Chaos Early Stage Warriors ensued, with an outsider like Snow Soul True Monarch merely observing; it seemed somewhat of a pity, as any Mixed Element Realm or Embracing Elixir Realm martial artist could have learned tremendously from such a duel!

...

Within the Kunwu Dojo, the snow continued to fall.

Only, with every collision between the two warriors, the snowflakes danced wildly, a splendid sight, and the brilliant light from their weapons was dazzling. Had the barriers of this place not been concealed, the Nascent Soul cultivators and Primordial Martial Men guarding the Martial Temple would have probably arrived at the scene long ago.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than fifty moves.

At this point, Ning Daoran’s breath was still long and stable, and although his Silver Dragon Spear Technique was far less profound compared to the Four Symbols Spear Technique, its reliability still posed a consistent threat to Lin Guo while also nullifying her sudden lethal moves.

On the other hand, after over fifty moves, Lin Guo’s breath had become slightly erratic; as she wielded her spear, one could see her chest heaving with heavy breaths.

Fortunately, with her deep foundation, even though her breath was slightly erratic, her spear technique remained unshaken, and she still skillfully overpowered Ning Daoran.

"Lin Guo..." Snow Soul True Monarch gritted her teeth as she watched.

Although she was not a martial artist and could not comprehend the true essence, she could still distinguish who was stronger.

Lin Guo’s strength lay in her cultivation technique.

The Four Symbols Spear Technique was a Heavenly-order Mid-grade absolute skill, incredibly profound, far beyond her opponent’s Yellow Rank trashy spear technique. Furthermore, Lin Guo had cultivated the Four Symbols Spear Technique to the Transformation Realm, truly unsurpassed historically.

But in terms of strength of blood Qi, Ning Daoran was much stronger than Lin Guo!

Snow Soul True Monarch found it unbelievable that there actually existed a Primordial Chaos Early Stage Warrior in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World whose blood Qi was stronger than Lin Guo’s; such a notion was unimaginable before.

...

After eighty moves.

Lin Guo’s spear movements were still unhindered, but they were becoming difficult to manage.

Ning Daoran fought smoother with each strike, and even though his spear technique was not exquisite, as long as his blood Qi was vigorous enough and each strike was fierce with swift execution, the lack of refinement in his technique was not a problem.

The secret skills of the Silver Dragon Spear Technique were unending, assaulting her every second... Even Lin Guo was becoming overwhelmed!

Moreover, aside from his spear technique, Ning Daoran kept looking for opportunities to engage Lin Guo in close combat!

Once in close quarters, with leg techniques, boxing, and movement techniques, Lin Guo had no advantage, and at one moment, a close-range blow almost shattered her jaw, nearly disfiguring her!

Snow Soul True Monarch’s heartbeat nearly stopped.

But Lin Guo did not call for a halt, nor did she show any sign of conceding, continuing to fiercely stimulate her blood Qi and clash with her opponent.

As Sangyu Country’s youngest Mixed Element Grandmaster, known as "Martial God," she naturally didn’t want to lose to any peer.

...

In the blink of an eye, a hundred moves passed.

According to the previous agreement, the fight should have been over.

After a hundred moves, Ning Daoran had clearly taken the upper hand, and while Lin Guo’s spear technique showed some slight disarray, although she still held her ground, victory seemed unlikely.

Yet Lin Guo did not call for a halt, her young face ferocious, determined to ascertain the victor between them.

Ning Daoran didn’t want to disappoint and continued to fiercely battle Lin Guo.

Two hundred moves quickly went by.

Ning Daoran’s blood Qi was still robust, while Lin Guo was gasping for breath, her face pale.

If the fight went on and Ning Daoran gave it his all, it would only take about thirty moves to defeat this young Martial God!

"Lin Wuxian!"

Suddenly, Ning Daoran retracted his spear, spun his body rapidly to retreat, and said solemnly, "We’ve gone over two hundred moves; continuing might lead to serious injury. We are friends; there’s no need to fight to such extremes..."

"..."

Lin Guo was panting heavily, her chest heaving.

Though she didn’t want to admit defeat and longed to continue seeking a chance for victory, hearing Ning Daoran’s mention of "friend" made her eyes light up, and she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Really friends?"

"Of course."

Ning Daoran said, "Lin Wuxian is a man of integrity, and so is Ning. The promise made back then is fulfilled today; if this doesn’t make us men of integrity, what does?"

"So be it!"

Lin Guo gracefully landed on the ground, holding her spear as she cupped her fist in the other hand and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Ning’s blood Qi is impressive, I, Lin Guo, acknowledge my inferiority. I indeed lost this battle. You have passed the test, and this Four Symbols Spear Technique..."

She took out a Jade Talisman from her Storage Bag and said, "Take it. However, the Four Symbols Spear Technique is a secret skill of my Lin Family; Fellow Daoist Ning may only cultivate it personally and must not teach it to others. Please remember this!"

"Ning will faithfully remember; many thanks, Lin Wuxian!"

Ning Daoran received the secret manual of the Four Symbols Spear Technique, elated within.
