Chapter 25

"Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains!!!"

"Ghost God Dances Wildly!!!"

I saw the long saber in Huang Zhong's hand turn bright red, wrapped in scorching flames.

Making Su Xuan and the others, who were standing over a hundred meters away, feel incredibly hot.

With one slash, a terrifying flame blade of over ten meters long killed toward Lu Bu.

Wherever it passed, the ground was scorched black, and in some thicker places, it even began to turn into glass.

And Lu Bu was wrapped in black Gang Strength, and the Painted Halberd in his hand was condensed with extremely thick and terrifying black Gang Strength.

With one slash of the halberd.

The halberd light turned into a black dragon and killed out, colliding with Huang Zhong's blazing flame blade in mid-air.

"BOOM!!!"

A violent explosion rang out.

A terrifying wave of air swept in all directions.

Countless dust filled the sky, blocking the vision of Su Xuan and the others for a time, making it hard for them to see clearly.

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

But the battle between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu did not stop because of this.

"Tsk tsk! Truly amazing! This guy really has the capital to be arrogant! I guess I'm not his opponent yet!"

Old Dian Wei on the side could roughly see and perceive the battle scene inside, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Hiss!"

Su Yi, on the other hand, had a somewhat stiff expression: "Are Gang Strength martial artists actually this terrifying? It's simply gods fighting!"

He felt that his understanding of martial artists was about to be completely refreshed.

"Yes!"

Su Xuan on the side also nodded with a wry smile: "I still underestimated the destructive power of high-level martial artists before!"

"Especially Gang Strength martial artists."

They are simply human nuclear bombs!

It can be foreseen that future wars will be completely changed because of many martial arts experts.

"Therefore, military formation methods must be researched as soon as possible! That is the capital for the future army to contend with peerless fierce generals and even heavenly god generals."

Su Xuan pondered in his heart.

Otherwise, facing such peerless fierce generals, ordinary martial generals and armies would have no resistance.

Even if a peerless fierce general couldn't do anything to the army because of numbers, the army wouldn't be able to stop the peerless fierce general either.

With each collision, the air wave dispersed the smoke and dust, and Su Xuan could see the battle between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu again.

He began to concentrate on observing them with his heaven-defying comprehension.

Half an hour later,

[You earnestly observed the battle between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu and gained a lot. You have a deeper understanding of Gang Strength and have further improved heavenly-level cultivation methods like the *Returning Origin Art*;]

[At the same time, you insightfully comprehended Lu Bu's *Ghost God Halberd Technique* and integrated it into your own *Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens Halberd Technique*; your proficiency in halberd techniques has surpassed completion and reached the Grandmaster level.]

After half an hour, both of them discovered that they couldn't do anything to each other; simple foot combat could no longer satisfy Lu Bu and Huang Zhong.

Next, they switched to comparing archery and mounted combat.

And Su Xuan happily absorbed all these experiences.

[You earnestly observed the archery competition between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu and gained a lot; your *Great Archer Arrow Technique* is even more powerful.]

[You earnestly observed the mounted combat duel between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu and gained a lot; your mounted combat experience has increased significantly, your horsemanship has greatly improved, and your mounted combat halberd and saber techniques have been further perfected and improved.]

After one round, several hours had passed.

"Phew, phew, phew!!"

Even with the powerful physique and recovery ability of Huang Zhong and Lu Bu at the peak of Gang Strength, they were already panting and soaked in sweat at this time.

"I didn't expect there to be such a formidable guy in this world; I admire you!"

Lu Bu looked at Huang Zhong with fanaticism and praised him.

He never expected that one day he would fight to a draw with someone.

After he finished his apprenticeship, his strength became stronger and stronger, and later even his master was no longer his opponent.

Invincibility is lonely.

But today, Lu Bu felt he had met his match.

Not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy.

In life, can one meet a match? What could be more exciting than this?

"You are not bad either! It's just that you are too arrogant!"

Huang Zhong also began to cherish Lu Bu as a kindred spirit at this time.

This could be considered a friendship forged through fighting.

But he was still very dissatisfied with Lu Bu's previous rudeness to Su Xuan, and then said: "Actually, setting aside the realm, at the same level, there is already someone whose martial arts have surpassed mine!"

PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, and reviews!

"Oh?"

Lu Bu was stunned upon hearing this: "Is that for real? There’s such a person? Who is he?"

Huang Zhong immediately pointed to Su Xuan nearby and said: "Naturally, it is my lord, Su Xuan! You should not underestimate him!"

"He is the most talented and perceptive person I have ever met!"

"Don't look at him as only being at the Dark Strength realm; do you know that just over a month ago, he was still an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts?"

"Huh?"

Lu Bu looked at Su Xuan in astonishment, scrutinized him for a few moments, and then said to Huang Zhong with disbelief: "You must be joking, right?"

"This kid was an ordinary person just over a month ago? And his martial arts skills surpass yours?"

How could he think this was anything but a fantasy, a joke?

Does such a monster really exist in this world?

Even a genius like him had to go through over ten years of diligent cultivation and combat, growing step by step, to reach his current strength.

One month to reach Dark Strength, and his martial arts skills surpass Huang Zhong, an opponent who is my equal?

How is that possible?

Lu Bu found it completely unbelievable.

Su Xuan, having heard this, walked over, looked at Lu Bu with a faint smile, and issued a challenge: "Then shall we try it at the same realm?"

"Ho?"

Lu Bu listened, and only then did he look at Su Xuan seriously, if nothing else.

At the very least, this kid had enough guts.

It was just a matter of whether he was truly as formidable as Huang Zhong claimed.

"Fine! Let's try it! I will suppress my realm to the Dark Strength level and use only thirty percent of my strength, which should be about the strength I had when I was at the Dark Strength level. Come, let's fight!"

Saying this, Lu Bu walked to the center of the training grounds.

After a moment of regulating his breath, his stamina and internal energy had recovered by ten percent, enough to play around with Su Xuan.

"Good!"

Su Xuan didn't waste words; he immediately took a steel spear from the weapon rack nearby and stood firm opposite Lu Bu.

"Fight!!"

"Fight!!"

Both let out a simultaneous roar and charged at each other.

"Clang!"

A spear and a halberd collided with precision.

"Clang, clang, clang!!" ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
