I Can See Through Everything

In an unnamed valley, Lu Qing and Wei Shanhai were locked in an intense battle.

The scattered blade and energy auras left numerous cracks on the riverbank within the valley, creating a terrifying scene.

Mago and Wei Zian, who were on the hillside, were already stunned, watching this scene with wide eyes.

Even Wei Shanhai was filled with disbelief.

He hadn’t expected that even after using his Precelestial true qi, he couldn’t swiftly defeat Lu Qing. He was only barely able to suppress him, holding a slight advantage.

And even this advantage wasn’t stable because Lu Qing’s resilience was incredibly strong. Even when at a disadvantage, his blade technique remained exceptionally sharp.

If Wei Shanhai wasn’t careful, Lu Qing might reverse the situation in an instant.

Simultaneously, Wei Shanhai was also shocked by Lu Qing’s stamina.

Logically, a martial artist using an explosive secret technique would rapidly deplete their stamina, and the burst couldn’t last long.

However, despite fighting for such a long time, Lu Qing showed no signs of exhaustion. His breathing remained steady, which was terrifying.

It was unknown what explosive secret technique Lu Qing was using, but the power it unleashed was extraordinary, comparable to the initial stage of Precelestial.

Even the duration of its effect was incredibly long, which was simply unbelievable.

"Do I need to use a secret technique too?" Wei Shanhai suddenly thought.

But he quickly dismissed this idea.

What a joke. As a Precelestial, sparring with a Postnatal junior and failing to win quickly was bad enough. Using a secret technique would be utterly disgraceful.

As these thoughts churned in Wei Shanhai’s mind, he clashed with Lu Qing once more.

Bang!

Another crisp sound rang out.

This time, it wasn’t Wei Shanhai’s blade aura shattering but Lu Qing’s battle blade that finally succumbed to the immense pressure and shattered instantly.

Lu Qing’s body swayed lightly, dodging the flying shards of his battle blade, and he retreated several steps.

Looking at the broken hilt in his hand and Wei Shanhai’s nearly intact battle blade, he sighed inwardly.

The power of Qi and blood in the Postnatal realm ultimately couldn’t compare to the Precelestial true qi refined from the essence of heaven and earth.

Despite his best efforts to protect his battle blade with Qi and blood, it still shattered after continuous clashes.

In contrast, Wei Shanhai’s battle blade, enhanced by Precelestial true qi, remained largely undamaged.

“Lu Xiaolangjun, do you want to continue sparring? I remember you have a divine weapon battle blade that you forged yourself. Shall we use that?” Wei Shanhai said, feeling a bit regretful seeing Lu Qing’s blade shatter. 𝐫

He was quite enjoying the fight. Lu Qing’s blade intent was more profound than his own.

In his exchanges with Lu Qing, he vaguely felt his own blade intent improving.

The sudden interruption made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“No need,” Lu Qing shook his head. “This battle has been very beneficial for me. I have gained significant insights into my confusion, thanks to your help, Senior Wei.”

“Oh, you’ve gained some insights?” Wei Shanhai asked excitedly, “Did you glimpse the path ahead, sensing the opportunity to step into the Precelestial realm?”

Having learned that Lu Qing had reached the peak of the Postnatal realm, Wei Shanhai naturally assumed that the bottleneck Lu Qing mentioned was the barrier between the Postnatal and Precelestial realms.

“More or less,” Lu Qing nodded. “The path to the Precelestial realm is quite clear to me now. With a bit more accumulation, breaking through shouldn’t be difficult.”

“That’s great!”

Wei Shanhai was very pleased. Lu Qing’s progress made his sparring efforts worthwhile.

“Senior Wei, how much strength did you use in our sparring earlier?”

Lu Qing asked an important question.

“If we’re talking about regular strength, I used almost my full power. If we continued, to win, I might have to use a secret technique,” Wei Shanhai replied honestly.

His feelings were quite mixed.

He wasn’t being humble.

He had indeed used almost his full strength earlier.

Apart from not using Precelestial secret techniques, he had nearly pushed his Precelestial true qi to the limit.

Under normal circumstances, a Precelestial martial artist could easily crush any martial grandmaster at the peak of the Internal Organs realm without using secret techniques.

But unexpectedly, Lu Qing was so formidable. His explosive secret technique’s power wasn’t much weaker than his own.

Coupled with Lu Qing’s more exquisite blade technique, Wei Shanhai couldn’t handle him quickly.

Thinking about it, looking at Lu Qing’s still strong aura, Wei Shanhai couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Xiaolangjun, what secret technique did you use earlier? It’s so powerful, allowing you to unleash strength comparable to the initial stage of Precelestial?”

“That was a legacy I stumbled upon. I practiced for a long time to master it,” Lu Qing said vaguely.

Perfect Burst could be considered his unique secret technique, relying on his exceptionally strong soul force.

The soul talisman was one of Lu Qing’s greatest trump cards, something he hadn’t even told his master, so he naturally wouldn’t reveal it easily.

“I see.”

Wei Shanhai understood that Lu Qing didn’t want to elaborate, so he tactfully didn’t press further.

“Old Ancestor, Dr. Lu!”

At this time, Wei Zian and Mago descended from the hillside, their faces filled with shock.

Especially Wei Zian, who was extremely excited.

He looked at Lu Qing with admiration, “Dr. Lu, you’re incredible! To be able to fight Old Ancestor to a draw, it’s unbelievable!”

“Don’t flatter me. Didn’t you see my blade broke?” Lu Qing smiled. “If we continued, I’d be no match for Senior Wei unarmed.”

“Lu Xiaolangjun is too modest. I only had the advantage of Precelestial true qi. If you used your divine weapon battle blade, it’s hard to say who’d win,” Wei Shanhai disagreed.

“You also have a divine weapon, so I’d still lose...”

The group, exchanging compliments, slowly left the valley.

After leaving the deep mountains and parting with Wei Shanhai and the others, Lu Qing returned home. After meditating and resting to recover his strength, he began to ponder the gains from this sparring.

There was one thing Lu Qing hadn’t told Wei Shanhai.

He wanted to spar not because his cultivation had hit a bottleneck.

With his abilities, he naturally had an almost enlightened understanding.

There were few techniques he couldn’t comprehend.

The barrier between Postnatal and Precelestial was already clear to him, with no confusion, and he could cross it at any time.

It was only a certain intuition that held him back from taking that step.

Lu Qing’s real purpose in inviting Wei Shanhai to spar was to personally experience the power of the Precelestial realm and understand its strengths.

This would serve as a reference for his next steps.
