Chapter 519: Chapter 519: The Strength Really Soars!
 

After chatting with Mo Feng for a while, the novelty of this underground dungeon known as the Profound Gate began to wear off for everyone.

Everyone began to meditate, taking this opportunity to organize their gains.

The Profound Gate was indeed a safe place. No matter how chaotic things might get on the outside, this place would remain unaffected.

It was indeed a good opportunity to organize their gains. Jiang Xiaobai very clearly understood that once he left the Profound Gate, he’d be faced with another wave of dangers.

The forces of the Holy City were currently pursuing him. He needed to develop his own power in the Holy City. Otherwise, staying in the Northern State, while peaceful, would not lead to much progress.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai had many missions to complete; some were related to the seven-colored divine soul and others were about the world stone.

He had to press on and not stop.

After organizing his gains, he felt that his biggest achievement this time was the completion of the system upgrade to version 3.0 which greatly enhanced his perks.

He utilized the system to upgrade his ‘Cloud Walk with Dragon Transformation’ to perfection and also improved his ‘Nine Heavenly Stars Swordsmanship’ to the same extent.

His fighting power skyrocketed!

Although his realm didn’t improve much, his combat ability increased significantly.

Furthermore, his mood also improved a lot amidst the nightmare trials, making his sword intent even purer!

“Is it possible that I could now go toe-to-toe with someone close to reaching the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage without a problem?”

Jiang Xiaobai silently chuckled to himself.

Thinking of trying it out, Jiang Xiaobai felt, before he began to temper his divine spirit, the best way to spend his divine power would be to indulge in battles within the God of War’s space.

Hence, Jiang Xiaobai entered the God of War’s space without hesitation.

It was the familiar stone chamber. He adjusted his condition a bit before starting to battle with people.

His chosen opponent was someone at the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage!

Similarly, the first reaction of Jiang Xiaobai’s opponent upon feeling his power was shock, followed by disbelief.

A stagiant at the peak of Dividing the gods, who was not even at the peak, dared to challenge him, a strong practitioner at the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage?

What an utter fantasy!

However, once the battle started, Jiang Xiaobai’s opponent was shocked.

The enemy, clearly at the peak of Dividing the gods, actually had the power to fight him and even pressed him to the defensive?!

For a moment, the opponent even thought that Jiang Xiaobai was a genius from the upper three realms!

However, although Jiang Xiaobai’s strength was fierce, he still couldn’t fight a strong practitioner at the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage just relying on his own realm!

The final outcome was still defeat, but this time he was able to fight the opponent for nearly an hour.

In the end, his defeat was due to his draining of spiritual power, leading to his carelessness and eventual death by an opponent’s sword.

But he had made incredible progress!

Moreover, such a moment of life and death brought about significant benefits for Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai subsequently engaged in frenzied battles.

A whole day passed in the outside world and Jiang Xiaobai was left with less than seven hundred points.

Although his points were severely depleted, he had gained a lot. Now he was even able to win seven out of ten times!

“Considering everything, with the help of Yuan Hong and the Pagoda, I should be able to fight a master at the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage.”

Jiang Xiaobai, although exhausted, had a grin plastered across his face.

The allure of increasing power was truly intoxicating.

In fact, the reason Jiang Xiaobai was able to fight across so many realms was due to his powerful techniques, swordsmanship, and physique.

Also, after tempering his divine soul, his strength had greatly increased.

The most important factor was his hidden realm!

He had perfected every single realm!

What did that mean?

It indicated that, if you were to consider all the minor realms, his actual realm was already in the middle of the Tribulation Passing stage!

But in the end, that was not the case. As without actually reaching that realm, he wouldn’t be able to grasp the horror of that realm.

Nevertheless, this was enough. Jiang Xiaobai’s foundation was very solid. As he continued to improve, his strength would definitely become more terrifying!

Although as he progressed, the minuscule gaps between each realm became drastically larger. But that was not a problem, it was enough!

After experiencing the increase in his own strength, Jiang Xiaobai shoved a stalk of bellflower grass into his mouth and started to chew slowly while silently tempering his divine spirit.

Time seemed to lack any concept. In a blink of an eye, three days will have passed.

Through his continuous efforts and with the help of various resources, Jiang Xiaobai finally managed to forge his divine spirit once!

Complete forging!

This was far from doubling his strength, Jiang Xiaobai only felt like he was at full throttle now, enough to easily kill a practitioner at the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage!

“The increase in power truly feels exhilarating. With this, I should be able to deal with those bastards who are hunting me.”

“Damn it! Once I leave the Profound Gate, all of you who were so eager to hunt me down will die!”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t keep down his dark humor.

If others wished him death, wouldn’t he retaliate back?

At this time, it was time for Mo Feng’s battle.

Mo Feng even invited them to watch. Mo Yu was quite interested in this. Seeing her brother’s progress satisfied her a lot.

Jiang Xiaobai and the others were eager to watch the excitement and followed suit.

If they knew what was going to happen afterwards, perhaps Jiang Xiaobai would have thought twice about going…

…

The battle for succession among the young masters of the Profound Gate was in full swing. All four contenders from each branch were prepared and waiting.

But Mo Feng didn’t seem as nervous or eager to fight like the other three. He seemed rather indifferent and even a bit distracted.

Looking at the current situation and taking advantage of the time before the contest, Mo Feng hurriedly got up and walked toward Li Licheng’s location.

“Elder Li, I would like to talk to you about something.”

“Oh? Can’t you wait until after the match? This is an extremely important contest for the young masters. Why are you looking for me instead of preparing for the battle?”

Li Licheng said laughingly, even though there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Today marked the beginning of a good drama!

“The thing is, Elder Li…I want to leave the Profound Gate.” Mo Feng said nervously.

Upon hearing this, Li Licheng immediately furrowed his brows and his expression stiffened.

“Outrageous, how ridiculous, at such a critical juncture, you tell me you want to leave the Profound Gate. What nonsense is this!”

The scolding had made him blush, but he still pressed on explaining his reasons.

His reasons were sound, and he insisted that he was still a member of the Profound Gate, but he didn’t want to be a young master anymore.

Initially, Li Licheng responded angrily, but then gradually started to reason with him gently.

Eventually, it seemed as though he was hinting at his agreement.

“Since you are firm in your thoughts, I can’t continue to stop you. What’s the point of keeping you in the Profound Gate?”

“Alright, if you can win, not only will I let you leave, I’ll also give you the reward you deserve!”

“I guess this means the tie between us will come to an end.”
