Bodhisattva of Compassion Chapter 176: Guidance from Li Baxian

On the plaza before Mount Shouzheng's front hall, under the banner of blood-colored golden flames, Lu Ye pressed his hand to his hilt, his expression solemn as he stared ahead.


Across from him, Li Baxian casually held a sword in his hand and smiled, "In half a year, you've reached the fifth level of cultivation. Your strength has improved too quickly. In fact, sometimes improving too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing because others have more time to hone their combat skills, while you don't. This is especially true for warriors who cultivate martial arts. Combat skills are very important. On top of Jinguang Peak, your fighting was valiant, but your technique was lacking. That's your biggest weakness."


Within half a year, he grew from a fledgling cultivator who had just broken through to the fifth level of cultivation. He even mastered a defensive spirit pattern that could be activated at will. This kind of feat was already widely known and not a secret.


Lu Ye originally thought that the sect leader would ask about this, and he had already thought it through. If the sect leader asked, he would tell the truth.




<<< In fact, since he woke up, the headmaster never asked about this. He only reminded Lu Ye a few days ago when everyone was bedridden recovering from their injuries. Now that many people know he had some kind of experience at the Lingxi battlefield, perhaps some people would try to take advantage of him, so he should be more careful. >>>


Of course, the possibility of such an event is small. The sect leader said that there are many opportunities for growth at the Lingxi Battlefield. Lu Ye's half-year growth to the fifth level might seem fast, but historically, there have been faster cases. Once, a mortal obtained a great opportunity at the Lingxi Battlefield and reached the ninth level in just one year.


The Lingxi Battlefield is full of wondrous places, containing all sorts of magic. Ordinary people find it hard to see, but those with destiny can easily obtain them.


>>>Almost every few years, there are people who have miraculous experiences happen to them. The cultivation world is already accustomed to this kind of thing, and most people just envy the good fortune of others.

<<<


For those who truly strive, it's better to work hard than to envy others' good fortune.


“The old master is a cultivator of the Dharma, and the second senior sister is a cultivator of medicine. Moreover, their strength is too great, they haven't taught anyone for many years, and they can't teach you anything. As your fourth senior brother, I will guide you well.” Li Baxian laughed heartily. To him, guiding Lu Ye seemed like a good deal, “Your cultivation at the fifth level, I will suppress my cultivation to the fifth level, so I won't take advantage of you. Use all your abilities and attack me!”


He said this, while also clutching the wine gourd in his hand and taking a swig.


But just as he raised his wine gourd, Lu Ye charged at him. Midway through his run, he drew his sword and slashed horizontally.


<<<"Knowing you're employing a sneak attack, very good." Li Baxian didn't move his feet, but slightly shifted his body backward. The edge of the Pianshan sword brushed past his neck, failing to harm him in the slightest. He even had the leisure to comment on Lu Ye's sword strike: "When facing an enemy, you should maintain this unwavering momentum. However, you put too much force into it, which isn't a good thing. It's very easy for someone to exploit your weaknesses." >>>


Lü Yè’s blade flashed downwards, but once again Li Báxiān dodged it. He didn’t even move his feet and continued to say, “Lacking adaptability, reactions are sluggish…”


On the plaza, Lu Ye continuously attacked with his sword, while Li Baxian dodged while incessantly chattering. Lu Ye was exasperated by Li Baxian's words and his attacks became even more ferocious.


But he helplessly found that the gap between him and this fourth senior brother was too great. Although the fourth senior brother had suppressed his cultivation to the fifth layer, he couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.


<<>>


<<< Only then did Lu Ye realize the terrifying nature of his fourth senior brother. If there were figures like his fourth senior brother on Golden Light Peak, he would have been beaten to a pulp long ago. <<<
