*Bam*
Ling Yun directly blocked Long Jue's sudden attack, but he didn't use his cultivation and only his physical strength, which made the ground under his feet crack.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows for a split second before making a counterattack against her using his right foot, but Long Jue immediately jumped away to avoid his attack.
Er Xiyi and Huan Xiong wanted to move to stop Long Jue, but Ling Xi immediately restricted their movements as she looked at the two men, and she also said this to the two women via voice transmission. Let them be; both of them have dragon bloodlines, so it's natural that they want to fight with each other. Moreover, they have no desire to kill their opponents, so we just need to stay quiet and watch them, and everything will be fine.'
The two female demi-humans watched them carefully before nodding in agreement with Ling Xi, and she immediately withdrew her restrictions on them.
Suddenly, they saw Ling Yun had moved behind Long Jue before he could blink, shocking him and the other demi-humans. He grabbed his dragon tail before throwing him high into the air.
Long Jue immediately stabilized himself in the air before diving sharply towards him, but Ling Yun smiled faintly and flew towards him while changing himself to his half-dragon form, and they immediately punched towards each other.
*Bam*
*Swoosh*
A fairly large shockwave spread in all directions after their fists collided with each other, and both of them were knocked back by each other's attacks.
'Fuck! His cultivation is still in the upper saint realm, but his physique is several times stronger than mine; even my leader's physique is not as strong as his.' Long Jue inwardly muttered as he shook off his numb hand from Ling Yun's attack just now, but his expression changed to one full of excitement.
Unfortunately, Long Jue didn't know yet that Ling Yun had already obtained the true skeleton of the primordial chaos dragon, which had merged perfectly with his body, making his body stronger than true dragons like Jin Zhongli and Ye Yixuan.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun had landed on the ground and looked at Long Jue with a smile. "Not bad! You are indeed worthy of being the main descendant of your ancestor, the fern dragon, but your physique has not yet been perfected, so your attack power has not yet reached its maximum point."
"How did you forge your body to be that strong, brother?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun shook his head at Long Jue. "We don't even know each other, so I can't possibly tell you my secret, right?"
"Ha ha ha." That made Long Jue laugh. "In that case, let's continue our sparring, and I hope you can guide me if I manage to defeat you."
"Sure!" Ling Yun immediately soared into the sky in front of Long Jue. "If you can defeat me, I will let you know, but I am certain that will never occur."
Long Jue did not deny that, especially since he himself was not sure if he could defeat Ling Yun, but his dragon bloodline made him not want to give up just like that. "Winning or losing is normal in battle! Whatever happens, I will fight you with my full physical strength, and you don't need to hold back."
"You initiated the situation yourself, so don't hold me accountable if you sustain serious injuries." After he said that, Ling Yun immediately attacked him again, but Long Jue took his attacks head-on, and they quickly exchanged attacks while flying around the area.
As Hu Yuan landed in front of them with Tian Yueling and Lang Zhi on his back, Huan Xiong and the demi-humans raised their eyebrows. The six beast women followers of the primordial chaos dragon followed them, but they paid them no attention and concentrated on their master.
"Hey, Zhongli, that kid is not bad, and his physical strength is also quite good."
Jin Zhongli nodded in agreement with Jiu Shen. "Unfortunately, he hasn't perfected his physique yet, and his speed is too slow, so he will definitely lose to our master if they continue to fight relying only on their physical strength."
"Ha ha." When she heard that, Cai Hudie laughed. "After all, our master was once an ordinary human, but his spirit was quite extraordinary, and he had trained his physical skills so hard when we were still in the lower realm."
Before joining their conversation, Tian Yueling jumped down from Hu Yuan's back. "Not only that, your master asked my grandfather to forge some very heavy equipment, and he has been training with them for quite some time, so it's natural that his speed has already surpassed many cultivators. Not to mention, his movement techniques are also not ordinary, and you guys can see for yourself that he managed to combine them perfectly."
They weren't surprised by that, especially since they knew that Ling Yun let his five clones train in the dream space for an unlimited time, and his clone technique had an effect that made other cultivators jealous if they knew about it, mainly because his main body could absorb their cultivation and fighting experiences.
"If that kid wants to defeat our master, then he must use his cultivation, or else it will never happen."
"Long Ma, you seem to have forgotten the identity of our master." Bai Zhongyi shook his head as he spoke. "No matter how hard he tries, Long Jue will never succeed in defeating our master. Look at him; he didn't even use half his physical strength or speed, or else that kid would have already lost."
"Hey! You guys underestimate him too much!"
"Hmm?" Bai Zhongyi immediately turned to Huan Xiong, who looked angry after hearing their conversation, and spoke to her in a mocking tone. "You are too naive and ignorant, huh? Even a few of us can defeat that kid easily, let alone if he has to face our master, yet you say that we underestimate him. Do you think we will acknowledge him as our master if he is a weak cultivator?"
Even though she had witnessed Ling Yun's half-dragon form, Huang Xiong still didn't believe that he could defeat Long Jue with just his physical strength. After all, cultivators in the five god realms have a much stronger physique than cultivators in the mortal realm, and her friend also has a dragon bloodline like him.
Er Xiyi suddenly moved beside Huan Xiong, speaking to her via voice transmission. 'You underestimate that man too much, especially since he is still too young, but I can tell you that he is much stronger than Long Jue, and he can defeat him from the moment their fight begins. Look at his expression; he doesn't look serious at all, and he keeps giving my master opportunities to attack him.'
'Hmm?' Huan Xiong frowned at the two men, and just as Er Xiyi had told her, Ling Yun was indeed not serious at all. Moreover, he could read each of Long Jue's attacks, and he had no difficulty dodging all of them. 'How could he do such a thing? He is still so young, but I feel that he is a veteran at fighting; not even my father would win if he had to fight him. Anyway, do you recognize his dragon bloodline?'
'No.' Er Xiyi felt compelled to lie to Huan Xiong, particularly after Ling Xi explicitly forewarned him via voice transmission not to reveal the truth. She was also aware of the unusual nature of Ling Yun's identity, so she opted to heed his instructions. 'Even so, I can tell you that his dragon bloodline is much stronger than the fern dragon, so Long Jue will not be able to win if he uses his bloodline power to suppress him.'
Huan Xiong didn't say anything to agree or refute her words, and her eyes continued to watch Long Jue, who kept getting pushed back by Ling Yun's attacks, but he couldn't even land a single attack on him, which made him look very frustrated.
Nan Xing, who was still trapped inside Zhou Yu's void walls, also continued to pay attention to their fight. Judging from the look in his eyes, he seemed truly amazed by the effectiveness of Ling Yun's every attack. 'I admit that Long Jue is actually strong, but that guy is much stronger and more effective than him. I don't know how he was able to do all that, but I think he'd been through countless fierce battles before, or else he wouldn't have been that experienced in fighting at such a young age.'
.

Up in the sky, Long Jue seemed to be panting heavily, and his expression was completely irritated, especially since he was so eager to defeat Ling Yun.
Unfortunately, Long Jue couldn't hit him, not even once, and instead he was repeatedly hit by Ling Yun's attacks; even his eyes looked swollen and purplish black. 'Tsk! I've tried attacking him from various directions, including areas that I believe are his blind spots, but he seems to have eyes in every body, and he manages to read my attacks continuously.'
Long Jue's guess was not wrong, especially since Ling Yun had his heavenly eyes technique, and it could be said that he had no blind spots because his vision was 360 degrees.
Seeing him like that, Ling Yun asked Long Jue. "Do you still want to continue this fight?"
After hearing that, Long Jue sighed heavily. "Brother, I believe it is futile to continue this fight; I must concede that I will never be able to defeat you. However, I'm curious about how you can become so skilled at fighting, especially since you're still much younger than me. I've always been honing my fighting skills, but I'm aware of the comparison between our abilities, so I hope you can give me a real answer."
Although he liked Long Jue's character, Ling Yun still couldn't completely trust him, so he had no intention of telling him the truth. "I heard from Ling Xi that you want to join us in going to that mysterious tower, and I will allow you to do so. Anyway, I won't tell you anything about my fighting abilities now, and you will definitely find out everything in time."
"All right, I'll wait for the right time for that, but you can at least tell me how I should temper my body to be as strong as yours, right?"
Ling Yun nodded and took out the weapon Tian Huang had forged for him, passing it to Long Jue. "You can try to wield it."
"Humph! Fuck!" Long Jue cursed as the weapon pulled him down from the sky, and he couldn't even bear its weight. "Brother! Help me! This weapon of yours is too crazy heavy!"
However, Ling Yun didn't move from his spot, so Long Jue immediately let go of the weapon, which made it dive to the ground quickly before slamming there.
*Bam.*
After seeing that, Huan Xiong and the other demi-humans were truly shocked, especially since the weapon even made quite a deep hole there. Nan Xing seemed curious about that weapon and wanted to try lifting it, but Zhou Yu had no intention of letting go of him.
Huan Xiong immediately approached Ling Yun's weapon, but he was shocked after holding the hilt and trying to lift it. Even her face had turned so red, but it didn't move an inch from where it was, so she decided to give up.
Soon, the two men descended beside the weapon, and Ling Yun immediately grabbed it before swinging it repeatedly. "See? This weapon is not heavy at all, and my master forged it specifically for me to practice."
'Not heavy on your ass!' Long Jue cursed in his heart.
Huan Xiong's eyes widened at Ling Yun's action. 'What the hell! How can he use such a heavy weapon so nimbly?' "Hey, how long have you been training with this weapon?"
"It hasn't been that long, just a few months."
"Just a few months?"
Ling Yun nodded, but they didn't seem to believe him, so Tian Yueling told them. "My grandfather forged that weapon especially for him, so he wasn't lying to you, and he has indeed only been training with it for a few months."
