Ling Qingxue agreed.
"Alright, I'll accept all future challenges myself. With your Invincible Will as a reference, I also have a chance!"
If Wu Liang hadn't grasped it, she might not have pushed the issue.
But Wu Liang had now fully comprehended the Invincible Will, so she, as his master, could start "copying the answers."
As long as one got on the right track, comprehending the Invincible Will was also possible.
If both of them could comprehend the Invincible Will, that would be earth-shattering news.
Wu Liang grinned mischievously. "Little Xuexue, let's have a fight. Let me see if your strength is enough to withstand even one of my paw strikes."
Ling Qingxue rolled her eyes at him.
"You know I can't beat you..."
Wu Liang's face hardened. "How can you comprehend the Invincible Will with this kind of mentality? So what if your opponent is stronger? You don't even have the courage to fight. You dared to fight against someone of the same level, but now that you know I'm stronger, you don't even dare to draw your sword?
If I had acted like you when I fought the Silver-Armored Insect King, would I have been able to comprehend the Invincible Will?"
Ling Qingxue: What he said actually makes a lot of sense.
To prove invincibility, one must fear no opponent and cultivate an invincible spirit!
No matter the opponent's level, drawing the sword is an instinct.
Defeat him, and you will be invincible!
Ling Qingxue drew her Autumn Water Sword, her expression slightly grim.
"Come on, I admit I'm not as good as you now, but I will surpass you!"
Wu Liang smiled. "That's more like it. However, you might want to surpass me... but you'll never succeed in this lifetime. I'm invincible!"
He took two steps forward, and a heavy pressure of vital energy descended.
The air itself seemed to grow heavier.
Ling Qingxue's breath caught in her throat. She slashed out with her longsword, its soaring light shattering the oppressive force.
Wu Liang extended a claw and effortlessly flicked it away, obliterating the pressure.
"Weapons are good, but I quite agree with Beiming Han's view: brute force can overcome all techniques. The physical power can... shatter the heavens!"
With the Taotie bloodline, Wu Liang's main attributes were monstrous, making him virtually invincible physically.
Among those of the same rank, there wasn't even one who could withstand his full-force attack.
Only among those of higher ranks could he barely find an opponent.
Even someone like Ling Qingxue, who wielded a sword, was weaker than a single claw of his.
A claw strike shot out, and its killing power mixed with the scorching aura of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, amplifying its power by several levels.
Ling Qingxue unleashed the Autumn Water Dragon to defend.
The moment Autumn Water touched the karmic fire, it completely evaporated; even the sword energy was burned to nothingness.
Ling Qingxue gritted her teeth. "As expected of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, it can even incinerate invisible attacks! Simply monstrous!"
Seeing the claw light incoming, she quickly sidestepped.
Sword Intent and the Earth Will suddenly erupted, the piercing sword energy imbued with the earth's heavy, primal aura.
Wu Liang directly opened his claws to meet the attack head-on, a dull thud resounding from his paw.
But after the energy subsided, the beastly claws were completely undamaged.
"Not bad, your attack power is actually approaching half of my defense. That's an improvement."
Optimism: Broke through half his defense!
Pessimism: Didn't break his defense…
The combined power of two strong wills and sword energy couldn't even break through his defense?!
Ling Qingxue felt quite helpless.
To be honest, even if Wu Liang stood still, no matter how she attacked, she'd only manage to inflict superficial wounds at best.
And with the healing ability of the Karmic Fire, he would probably be completely healed in an instant.
Moreover, Wu Liang's spiritual power completely overwhelmed Ling Qingxue; the Spiritual Master methods were useless.
Under the triple crushing force of body, spirit, and energy, Ling Qingxue had no power to resist Wu Liang.
For the next half hour, she unleashed a barrage of sword techniques and martial arts skills, exhausting more than half of her stamina, yet she couldn't even repel Wu Liang.
"Tsk tsk, my strength is too weak. I didn't use my three great wills or any of my skills, only my physical strength. Little Xuexue, you still need to practice!"
Ling Qingxue fell silent...
This match truly demoralized her. Wu Liang's current strength was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
Using all his methods, Wu Liang could probably already defeat a Seventh Rank mid-stage opponent!
This gap in strength was simply outrageous.
It seemed it would be much harder for her to catch up with Wu Liang!
Ling Qingxue sheathed her sword and took out a towel to wipe away her sweat.
"When do you plan to start the Invincible Path?" she asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Um, around the Fifth Rank mid-stage, I guess. The strongest among the younger generation are already at the Seventh Rank, and top geniuses can skip ranks. Although I have the advantage of the Invincible Will, I still have to be sure."
The Invincible Path involved challenging the era's most outstanding geniuses.
Like the top students at the Three Martial Arts Universities, and even some people outside of the Great Xia.
Those people would probably come to challenge him even without his initiative.
The Invincible Will—what an alluring will! How could they resist?
If they could defeat Wu Liang, they could plunder his accumulated invincible spirit, and there was a very high chance they could comprehend the Invincible Will through it.
Conversely, if Wu Liang won, he could also plunder the rewards, increasing his own invincible spirit.
This would rapidly strengthen his Invincible Will!
Once his Invincible Will reached its peak, other wills would become useless against him.
The advantage was obvious.
Ling Qingxue nodded. "Okay, you can tell me when you're ready, and I'll inform the principal. But it seems you're planning to go to the secret place again."
"That's right, I feel my Devouring Domain is about to transform. It's just a hair's breadth away, so I'm going to make a final push!"
To be precise, just one level away!
His Devouring Domain had already been upgraded to level 49, only one level away from level 50.
He had invested almost all of the evolution points he gained in the Insect King Secret Place into this skill.
His goal was to reach level 50 as soon as possible and see what this transformation would be like.
And now, it was almost there!
Ling Qingxue looked at him strangely. "Domain transformation? An Imperial Rank martial artist's control over their domain is at its peak, and they wield it like an extension of their own arm. You're not quite there yet, are you?"
Controlling a domain at the Third Rank was already abnormal; surely a Fifth Rank martial artist couldn't completely control their domain like an Imperial Rank expert?
Wu Liang smiled faintly. "Who knows? Maybe it's possible. Perhaps I'm just born with this extraordinary talent!"
Ling Qingxue shut her mouth, not intending to ask further.
Anyway, she wouldn't find anything strange about what was happening to Wu Liang now.
The martial arts knowledge she had accumulated in her previous life was no longer applicable to him.
Fortunately... this was her contracted magical beast!
The stronger Wu Liang was, the greater her hope of ascending to Godhood!
And now, she only needed to cultivate step by step, rapidly increasing her level while comprehending more Martial Wills, and her strength would increase rapidly.
There was a consensus within the King Rank circle:
The more Martial Wills one possessed, the higher their potential.
While this wasn't always the case, there was some truth to it.
The combined power of multiple domains would continuously escalate. If Wu Liang's Killing Intent and Invincible Will could be condensed into a domain, the power would be unimaginable!
