Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 131: “Fair Fight”

Perhaps because the corpse manipulation lineage used to be a “service industry”, Elder Lin did not put on airs.

When Jiang Li chatted with him, they actually got along quite well.

They had all played with zombies and ghosts before, and what they practiced were all Yin attribute cultivation methods. Although there was a huge difference in age, they also felt like they regretted not meeting sooner.

As he spoke, Jiang Li followed Elder Lin back to his residence. There were more than a hundred coffins filled with talismans and more than a thousand soul altars that were lit with joss sticks.

This was the daily routine of the corpse manipulators. They were always accompanied by evil spirits and ghosts. Although Jiang Li did not dislike it, he did not like the atmosphere here either. Now, he was a little glad that he had chosen to become Elder He’s disciple.

After learning from each other for a long time, Jiang Li finally returned to the Demon Vanquishing Hall with the few items that the other party had given him.

The Ghost Wood Art was a tree demon’s cultivation method. It was not like the cultivation methods passed down by human cultivators over generations. Some people continuously developed and studied cultivation methods.

The Ghost Wood Art did not have a set of spell techniques, so Jiang Li’s wood-attribute spell techniques were all from the corpse manipulation lineage.

Apart from studying array formations, he received quite a bit of help in terms of spell techniques during his meeting with Elder Lin.

After reading the ancient books given to him by Elder Lin overnight, Jiang Li threw the heavy task to the parallel mind of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak that was far away. His main body stepped on the time and walked up to the Battle Arena A.

The other party was already waiting for Jiang Li in the arena this time.

Jiang Li went forward and was speechless to discover that it was actually a disciple of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

That senior brother had clearly long known that his opponent today would be Jiang Li, and his face was showing a helpless and bitter smile.

Jiang Li also felt a little awkward and greeted the other party.

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, you have to be gentler this time.” That disciple bitterly said so, causing the audience to sigh again.

The gong sounded. The senior sister from the Rejuvenation Hall was already preparing for the next battle. In her experience, this was another battle that would be ended in seconds.

The senior brother opposite him immediately assumed a defensive posture and erected a shield artifact in front of him. He closed his eyes and waited for the terrifying impact to arrive.

However, Jiang Li did not attack as he usually did.

“Senior Brother, we’re all fellow disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall. It wouldn’t be good if we got injured in an intense battle. Why don’t we change our method of fighting?”

When the disciple saw that Jiang Li’s attack had yet to arrive, he removed his shield and looked at Jiang Li.

“Change the method… how?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment before suggesting a suggestion that was rather disadvantageous to him.

“I’ll defend, and Senior Brother will attack. If Senior Brother can beat me out of the ring within a hundred moves, it’ll be my loss.”

“If Senior Brother is unable to make me fall out of the arena within a hundred moves, then you will admit defeat. How about it?”

When the disciple from the Demon Vanquishing Hall heard that there was such a good deal, he immediately wanted to agree.

He did not have any strange thoughts like being humiliated by his junior brother. What he felt was that even if he lost in the end, at least he would not be beaten up, right?

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, doing this is against the rules, right?”

The disciple of the Rejuvenation Hall, who was the referee, felt a little hesitant. This was because the essence of the arena battle was to choose the best disciples to participate in the Great Mountain Cultivator Tournament and compete for more distributional rights in the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm.

At this time, if the outstanding disciples took the initiative to restrict their strength in order to form a ‘fair competition’ with the weak disciples, it was undoubtedly stupid. If the outstanding disciples lost, it might affect the sect’s interests.

Therefore, as a temporary referee, she was a little hesitant about stopping Jiang Li’s antics.

“Senior Sister, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Senior Brother, please take out your artifact.”

That disciple scratched his head in slight embarrassment. Jiang Li was going to take hits from him now. He had already been given such good treatment, so was it not a little too overboard for him to still use an artifact?

However, under Jiang Li’s persistence, he still took out his main combat artifact, a shiny silver three-section staff.

Jiang Li’s consideration was that if his opponent did not use any artifact, he might not even need to activate the Overlord Body Art. If the opponent could not injure him, then what meaning was there in doing this?

The other party took out the three-section staff, and Jiang Li also started to remove his clothes in the arena.

He threw the white disciple uniform to his side, revealing a healthy and strong muscular body.

“Come!”

Jiang Li set up the standard movements of the Overlord Body Art. Then, the strength in his entire body began to slowly contract, fusing with the spiritual qi that was gradually released, and dispersed as evenly as possible to his limbs and bones.

The air whistled from the right, and a sharp air-piercing sound could be heard. It was the senior brother’s three-section staff.

Slam.

There was no loud sound.

The end of the three-section staff really hit Jiang Li’s shoulder.

However, under the collision of the huge force, the sound produced was probably that of an ordinary mortal using their index and middle fingers to knock on the table.

Jiang Li did not use his Armament Hard Skin to defend himself, but he still did not feel any pain.

When the three-section staff collided with his skin, a force that had been constricted by Jiang Li’s body was released at the right time, and it perfectly offset the force of the attack.

The difference in strength was very small, so even the sound of collision was very soft.

At the beginning, that disciple from the Demon Vanquishing Hall had been restraining himself. Although he had used a lot of strength, the area that he had struck was the shoulder. It was not a vital area.

After he noticed that Jiang Li was fine, he felt much more at ease. The three-section staff in his hand waved even faster. In the next moment, a violent storm of attacks assaulted Jiang Li.

A series of dense cracking sounds rang out. Jiang Li’s incomplete Overlord Body Art quickly revealed a flaw.

The distribution was uneven, the combination of spiritual qi and body strength was not dense, the subsequent replenishment was insufficient, etc.

At first, there was no reaction, but gradually, there were white marks from time to time.

Jiang Li calculated. With his current Overlord Body, he would probably make a mistake every three attacks and fail to defend himself.

This success rate was already considered excellent for a beginner like Jiang Li.

However, he still did not have much idea on how to maintain the Overlord state while moving. He still needed to attempt more trial and error.

Jiang Li silently remembered the reason for his mistakes and corrected them bit by bit.

It was only when the disciples opposite him stopped attacking while gasping for breath that Jiang Li finally woke up from his concentrated state.

He had gained a lot from this battle. After both sides cupped their hands, Jiang Li won the third round of the battle.

When he looked at the white marks on his body, the small bruises had already disappeared under the powerful recovery and enhancement effect of his various buffs.
