Chapter 148 Sudden Enlightenment
"I do not need any time to recover. And I believe that neither does Junior brother Liu Feng. Then why wait any longer? Why not go ahead with the fight?" Ji Riyal looked at me.
I had no choice but to nod.
I was not that exhausted. In fact, after I recovered last, I only had one battle. And that battle as also a landslide. I crushed Li Huan in just one move.
I had already taken a Qi recovery pill and recovered to my peak position. So I had no reason not to fight now.
I jumped from where I stood and landed on the ring. I faced him with my spear out.
"Fine then. Let us battle. Let me see how strong a person of the Dao truly is" I said as frost appeared at the edge of my spear.
I had to put in every little power I had into this. I wanted to win. This was the first time that I so desperately wanted to beat someone without the system telling me to.
It only felt fit. With my mission to complete this world, I needed to win every battle in my path. I needed to be unbeatable.
"I will be unbeatable!" a glint appeared in my eyes.
Immediatley, I felt this power fill my body A golden light hovered on me, and it appeared like this armor.
"It looks like I am a mere stepping stone for you, junior brother. You have used me as your motivation to enter the path of the Undefeatable Dao." he shook his head.
"The Undefeatable Dao." I muttered as I looked at my hands. This Dao was truly mysterious. It filled my body with power. More importantly, I knew that the moment that I faced someone and I lost, I knew that I would be knocked out of this path.
Ping!
Ping!
[The system is pleasured by the path that the Host has taken. The system shall do its best to become the Dao protector of the Host. Host shall now receive a boost in comprehension of Dao of Ice to help with the impeding battle.]
All of a sudden, my eyes froze. I stopped and sat down on the ground, closing my eyes.
Frost appeared all around me, creating a five feet radius around me that no one could trespass without freezing their legs.
I could not hear anything except the profoundities of the Dao of ice that were being preached to me. This was too good. I could understand so much that I didn't understand before.
However, before I knew it, the preaching stopped. My enlightenment ended with it. I slowly opened my eyes, and what I saw shocked me.
In front of me, Li Tian, my master, was just standing calmly, and behind him, Ji Riyal. All of them were observing me with strange eyes.
"You have the most unnatural timing to have a sudden enlightenment. But it seems that your gains this time are considerable?" he asked me.
"Considerable? With my gains this time, I am afraid that senior brother is no longer my enemy. With this, I know that I have grasped a rudimentary understanding of the Dao of Ice." I said.
"That is surprising, considering that you have been in that stage for only one minute." Li Tian chuckled.
"One minute? Impossible! It felt much longer than that!" I could not believe my ears.
"Well, there is nothing that I can do, can I? That is the undeniable truth. But now. it is time for the final battle." he stepped back and went back to where he was supposed to be seated.
"Junior brother, you have gotten a gift from the heavens. I am truly jealous. I had only entered a moment of enlightenment once before, although it had been slightly longer than yours. But to think that it would come just moments before our battle. It looks like even the heavens want to make this an even battle. They want to watch a show." Ji Riyal chuckled.
"You are right. Someone wants to watch a show. But I am not sure who it is. I don't think that the heavens are that ruthless." I shook my head.
"Why wait for any longer? Let the final battle begin." the deacon said.
I raised my spear. In front of me, the straight path towards Ji Riyal was immediately covered in Ice.
Ji Riyal raised his spear and struck it down.
A sword energy came crashing down at the approaching Ice wave.
They countered each other, and although the Ice stopped invading further and started cracking, the sword energy was also spent to the fullest.
The both of us were evenly matched on the front of Dao.
But one thing worried me now. I was bound by cultivation. I was not a Dao cultivator to the fullest. So that meant that I needed to use Qi to communicate with the heavens and use Dao in my attacks.
Ji Riyal was going to be different. He was a Dao cultivator. He had decided to walk on the path of the Heavens, and could use as many attacks as he wanted to, until his own body gave way.
I could not rely on a battle of attrition. I needed to finish this fast and clear.
We moved, and every time that we did, Ice and sword clashed against each other. My spear had no other purpose than to serve as a medium for my Dao.
The ring below us was cracking. It had already taken a lot of damage before, and now it was pushing it.
I stopped and took my spear.
"This floor seems unstable. Why not take this battle to the skies then?" I smiled.
Saying this, I struck the spear down to the ground.
Ice filled the entire arena, and it started cracking.
Ji Riyal's expression changed. He raised his sword and tried to attack me.
"Too late." I smiled, and wings appeared behind my back.
"Kun Peng Movement arts! Sky Movement!"
