Chapter 50
Following that, the two fought faster and faster, Lu Bu's moves wide and open, becoming increasingly fierce.
Su Xuan, however, did the opposite, his moves like an antelope hanging by its horns, becoming increasingly agile.
The wrought-iron spear in his hand was like a swimming fish, agile yet leaving no traceable path.
For a time, the two were actually evenly matched in their exchange of moves.
However, Lu Bu soon discovered a terrifying fact.
That was, as time passed, Su Xuan's combat experience and technique were growing at a rapid pace, and he soon became proficient in Lu Bu's moves and patterns.
He began to faintly press Lu Bu into a disadvantage.
It was simply shocking.
If it weren't for the fact that his thirty percent strength was still significantly greater than Su Xuan's, allowing him to suppress others with sheer force, he felt he would have already lost.
At the same time, Lu Bu also felt that Su Xuan's spear technique was constantly improving and perfecting itself during the exchange, becoming stronger and stronger.
"Monster!"
Lu Bu cursed inwardly.
He had never seen such a monstrous freak.
He finally believed and understood Huang Zhong's previous words.
"I can't let this continue!"
Thinking of this, Lu Bu did not hesitate and directly unleashed his Anjin.
However, he kept it at the level of the early Anjin stage.
Yet even so, the quality of his Anjin was far superior to Su Xuan's.
At the same time, he was confident that his understanding and control of Anjin were also far superior to Su Xuan's.
"Well fought!"
Seeing this, Su Xuan also used his Anjin without hesitation.
With every move, the power surged explosively.
"This is impossible!"
Soon, Lu Bu discovered that something was wrong.
Even after using Anjin, he still couldn't turn the tide.
In fact, he was falling further into a disadvantage.
He had to face a reality.
That was that in the control and application of Anjin, he was actually not as good as Su Xuan.
It was simply hellish!
After another thirty rounds,
Lu Bu, feeling increasingly stifled, suddenly increased his force by ten percent to knock Su Xuan back, then waved his hand with a depressed expression and said, "Enough! Let's stop! I admit defeat! I acknowledge that I am inferior to you in both martial arts and the application of Anjin."
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Su Xuan smiled, still feeling unsatisfied, and said, "Brother Lu, you are too modest! This was just a sparring match! In a real life-and-death battle, no one will care about my cultivation level; in this match, we are neither winners nor losers."
He actually wanted to exchange more moves.
Exchanging moves with a top-tier powerhouse like Lu Bu.
Even if the opponent suppresses their cultivation and strength, it can still allow Su Xuan's combat techniques and martial arts to improve rapidly.
These things cannot be suppressed.
"You kid! Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu swept away his depression, looked up, and laughed heartily for a while, then waved his hand freely and said, "There's no need for such polite words; I, Lu Bu, am not someone who cannot afford to lose!"
"At the same cultivation level, I am indeed inferior to you!"
"But this is only for this time; in the future, when we fight again, I will absolutely not lose to you!"
"Come! Let's go drink!"
As he spoke, Lu Bu took the initiative to put his arm around Su Xuan's shoulder and brought him to the living room, calling for people to bring wine and food.
While exchanging toasts with Su Xuan and the others, he asked Su Xuan, "Su Xuan, have you really only been practicing martial arts for a little over a month?"
"Brother Lu, you can just call me by my courtesy name, Boyuan!"
Su Xuan waved his hand and said, then nodded, "That's right! It has indeed only been a little over a month;"
"I actually had a stroke of good fortune; I was very ill over a month ago and almost died;"
"After recovering, I suddenly had an epiphany, my perception increased greatly, and only then did I start practicing martial arts;"
"Afterward, I discovered that I learned everything quickly; I understood it as soon as I learned it, and I could even draw inferences and innovate;"
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with amazement.
He knew it!
If Su Xuan had this talent since childhood, he wouldn't have only started practicing martial arts a month ago.
So he had a sudden epiphany; that is quite reasonable... my foot!
"Pah! You kid is just damn lucky! Why didn't I encounter such a stroke of good fortune?"
Lu Bu complained with a face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Exactly! Exactly! I feel the same way!"
Dian Wei and Huang Zhong also raised their glasses in agreement.
Su Xuan's circumstances were too enviable.
"Haha!"
Su Xuan laughed and said, "This all depends on heaven's will; you can't envy it!"
"Indeed!"
Lu Bu could not deny it; in fact, wasn't his own talent a gift from heaven?
Even his master said that his martial arts talent was rare in a hundred years, the kind that heaven grants you to eat.
If he could be favored by heaven, there was no reason not to allow others to be.
"However,"
At this moment, Lu Bu asked with doubt, "In just over a month, how did you reach the Anjin stage? This can't be explained by a simple epiphany, right?"
Even a genius like him took over a year to reach the Anjin stage.
Su Xuan said frankly, "I created a secret technique to strengthen my digestion and absorption capabilities, and by relying on eating meat and precious medicinal herbs, I was able to quickly improve my cultivation base;"
"Oh! Right! Ten days ago, I was still at the late Clear Energy stage, and when I found Old Dian, I happened to hunt a strange beast;"
"I ate most of the strange beast and digested it, only then did I break through to the Anjin stage;"
"In fact, for me, what I have always lacked is not the insight into various realms, but that my physique and Qi-blood strength could not keep up;"
"As long as my Qi-blood and physique keep up, I can break through at any time; there basically won't be any bottlenecks."
