Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration Chapter 126

Jiang Li's first battle ended just like that.

This was something without any suspense to begin with, but this battle had exposed some problems. His power was still not under his control.

In fact, this had already been proven when the Demon Vanquishing Hall was fighting.

At that time, he had been careless and often injured his fellow disciples. If not for the fact that the bodies of the Demon Vanquishing Hall disciples were relatively sturdy, and because he was not so powerful back then, there would have been more severe injuries occurring.

This control of strength was not only useful when holding back against weak enemies.

This power was apparent in all aspects.

It was just like how he was still unable to master the Armored Horse Divine Travel and could not even walk normally, so he had to use a negative status to suppress it.

The power that he could not control was sometimes strengthened, but at other times, it was also weakened.

When Jiang Li's opponent was someone with ordinary strength like Qi Tianya and was far inferior to him, he would naturally crush and win. After that, he could even say arrogantly, “You fell before I even used any strength.”

However, when his opponent was on the same level as him or even stronger, this power might become a burden to him, making him unable to hit his opponent effectively.

Apart from that, the most obvious drawback was that Jiang Li was no longer able to draw runes on the wood pieces. The fluctuating strength had a devastating effect on this meticulous operation.

However, his method of slamming the ground was actually just to expend his strength. It was already very difficult to help him control his strength better now.

He had to find a more effective training program.

After some thought, Jiang Li first went to the nearby kitchen and brought out a basket of eggs. Then, he carried the eggs and flew to the ship where the Demon Vanquishing Hall was located.

Although this Demon Vanquishing Hall had a few warships that could be used, it was still a sect event after all. It was clearly not appropriate to use a killing weapon like a warship to surround the venue.

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, well done!”

“Little Junior Brother is mighty!”

“Did you guys see that? That disciple from the Heaven and Earth Hall was beaten to tears! Haha!”

As soon as Jiang Li returned, he received enthusiastic greetings from his fellow disciples, causing Jiang Li to feel embarrassed for a long time.

After all, he was only bullying a novice. How could he be called mighty?

“Hehe, you flatter me. This is only the first round, it's nothing much.”

After Jiang Li said a few humble words, he began to watch the martial arts competition with everyone.

Jiang Li ended quickly, but the first battle of the Foundation Establishment disciples had yet to be determined.

One of them was a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall while the other was a cultivator from the Weapon Refinement Hall.

That disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was still the same as before. He used a saber as a weapon, and he used a rather ruthless saber technique to slash out saber lights repeatedly, creating ravines on the arena with astonishing might.

However, he was not the one with the advantage.

In the arena, a fire gourd would spew out flames from time to time. There were two flying swords, three flying sabers, and four steel forks. They danced in the air and continuously attacked the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall in the middle, causing him to have no choice but to desperately brandish the sabers in his hand and run for his life.

This was the combat style of the cultivators of the Weapon Refinement Hall. They would use their magic artifacts to smash people to death.

However, it was not completely impossible for the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall to win. Apart from the extraordinary fire gourd, the other nine artifacts that were flying in the air were of ordinary quality and could not form an overwhelming advantage.

At the same time, controlling ten magic artifacts had an extremely exaggerated pressure on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The current situation depended on whether that disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall could withstand the pressure. If he could withstand it until the other party's spiritual qi was exhausted, there was a possibility of him turning the tables.

However, if he could not withstand it… Not long after, that black-clothed disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall started to become more and more flustered. He completely fell into the opponent's rhythm and was quickly hit by the pillar of fire that was spat out by the gourd after making a mistake.

He fell to the ground and was pinned by four steel forks that flew over quickly. He could not move at all and was defeated.

The moment that disciple lost, the surrounding disciples immediately cheered.

Obviously, they were not congratulating the victor of the Weapon Refinement Hall, but purely feeling happy for the loss of the Law Enforcement Hall disciple.

The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had no right to punish the inner sect disciples, and if they were arrogant in the inner sect, they would be easily beaten to death.

However, among the many inner sect disciples, a large portion of them had also been promoted from the outer sect. They had more or less been oppressed by the Law Enforcement Hall, so they naturally hated them.

Even Jiang Li had been raided by them before he entered the inner sect. There was nothing special about the work in the Law Enforcement Hall. However, people who thought that they were superior would definitely not be liked by anyone.

Jiang Li thought hatefully that he should be a little more ruthless when he met the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall in the future. Then, he could not help but increase his strength a little, crushing the two eggs in his hand.

He threw the broken eggs into the wooden barrel at the side, then took out two eggs from the basket, placed them in his palm, and gently rolled them around like walnuts.

The basket of eggs that he had brought from the kitchen was naturally not for eating, nor was it used to smash the stage, but to train his uncontrollable brute strength.

This method was taught by Senior Sister Liu Mulan. It was said that as senior brothers and sisters, they had used it before. However, the speed at which their physiques strengthened was far inferior to Jiang Li's.

These shattered eggs could also be eaten by the spirit beasts domesticated by the sect after the matter was over. It would not cause too much waste.

After a few more battles, Jiang Li had gained a lot of knowledge and had a rough understanding of the combat methods and strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It had to be said that the Dao Foundation was really too important to cultivators.

Apart from cultivators who cultivated body cultivation, the bodies of ordinary Qi Refinement realm cultivators were actually not much different from that of mortals. When mortal swords and daggers slashed at them, they would also be injured and bleed.

However, Foundation Establishment cultivators were not like this. After experiencing the Qi Refinement cultivation for a long time, cultivators would carve the special techniques and methods they cultivated into their bodies bit by bit, forming the foundation of their cultivation path.

It was as if their body had been refined into a magic artifact. From then on, their flesh and blood body could unleash powerful might. Naturally, ordinary Qi Refinement realm cultivators could not compare to them.

“Oh? Senior Sister Liu is going on the stage.”

At this time, there was a commotion among the disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall on the flying ship. They saw the valiant and heroic Senior Sister Liu Mulan step onto the wooden platform.

Her opponent was a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Hall.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes. Looking at the order of combat, it seemed like the elders were stirring up trouble. They were forcing the disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall and the Heaven and Earth Hall to fight.

Opposite Senior Sister Liu stood a female cultivator.

Jiang Li could already imagine the expressions of the elders in the Long Clear Hall who were waiting to watch the show.

Jiang Li knew that Senior Sister Liu Mulan was very powerful.

Before cultivating the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo, if he did not use other methods, Jiang Li believed that he would not be able to defeat her.

However, that female cultivator was definitely not a simple opponent.

This was because the other party was the junior sister of their Eldest Senior Brother, Chu Yunxuan. She was the youngest disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley Master, Daoist Wushe.

“Doesn't that mean she can also use the Square Heaven Seal?” Jiang Li could not help but ask another senior brother beside him.

After the clone witnessed Chu Yunxuan's golden seal, he returned to the sect and consciously inquired about this information.

The ultimate technique of the Scripture Storage Valley was not a secret. It was quite famous in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. Countless fiendish cultivators were killed by it.

However, the information he obtained through Yan Hong might not be true or incomplete, but it was always slightly different from the truth.

After Jiang Li asked this question, he saw that his senior brother's expression was strange.

“Junior Brother Jiang Li, the Square Heaven Seal is an ultimate technique passed down by our Scripture Storage Valley's Valley Master for generations. In the entire sect, besides the Valley Master and a few founders, only Eldest Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan has the qualifications to cultivate it.”

When Jiang Li heard this, he did not understand but felt that it was impressive. So that Chu Yunxuan was not only the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect, but he was also secretly appointed as the next Valley Master.

This sort of information that could be considered common knowledge between the various halls in the inner sect was completely unknown to Jiang Li.

Who asked him to cultivate every day? His source of the information was largely dependent on Yan Hong. However, he was in the outer sect, and a lot of information could not be obtained by outer sect disciples.

“Haha, I see. That's good. Then, Senior Sister Mulan's chances of winning will be higher.”

Jiang Li laughed and made this judgment.

After all, he had personally experienced the power of the Beast Blood Diagram. Others could not be like him and possess multiple beast blood tattoos at the same time.

However, even with the augmentation of a single beast blood tattoo, it was still enough for Senior Sister Liu to surpass all cultivators of the same level.

Furthermore, this beast blood tattoo could speed up her cultivation. It was a very practical secret technique.

“I'm not sure. But I know that Shen Ruoshi, Mulan might not be her match.”

The disciples of Elder He stood together, but their opinions were more uniform. Their opinion of Senior Sister Liu Mulan's battle was not too optimistic.

The battle broke out. Senior Sister Liu was a body cultivator so she instantly took a step forward and threw a fist at the other party.

Boom!

The fist hit the other party. However, in the next moment, Shen Ruoshi's body exploded into dust.

It was not real.

A moment later, Shen Ruoshi appeared behind her again. Senior Sister Mulan turned around and swept her leg across the air. Once again, she turned the other party into dust.

After the dust dispersed, it quietly gathered again. The other party did not launch a sneak attack and only stood there with a smile, waiting for Senior Sister Mulan to raise her fist to attack.

Dust exploded again and again. However, this kind of heavy fist that could split mountains and crack rocks could not cause any substantial damage to the other party. It could only exhaust her own stamina in vain.

Jiang Li and the others looked at her from a third party's perspective. They could not find where Shen Ruoshi's real body was. It would be even more difficult for Senior Sister Liu Mulan.

If Shen Ruoshi could continue like this, wouldn't she be invincible?

As expected, the direct combat methods of body cultivators lacked variations. Once they encountered some magical methods, they would fall into a rather passive situation.

This should be a rather advanced escape technique. He did not know if there was any way to crack it.

But, why did Shen Ruoshi not attack? If she wanted to win by wasting the stamina of a body cultivator, it would take a long time.

Wait, no, she had already attacked!

Jiang Li suddenly noticed that Senior Sister Liu Mulan's breathing had become heavier, and her physical condition was declining quickly at an unusual rate.

“I see… it's the dust?”

Every time Shen Ruoshi was beaten up, not all the dust would reform into her body.

A portion of the dust would land on the arena and Senior Sister Liu. That dust probably had some secret power that severely suppressed her strength.

Soon, Senior Sister Liu also noticed that the dust was the problem. She suddenly released her spiritual qi to blow away the dust.

However, this time, it was not effective at all. The dust was stuck to her body like super glue, unable to be shrugged off.

“You finally realized it. I thought that Senior Sister would take a longer time.”

When Shen Ruoshi saw Senior Sister Liu's action, she knew that she had discovered the problem.

She covered her mouth with her hand, still showing that businessman-like smile. Then, she no longer hid it. With a wave of her hand, dust flew towards Senior Sister Liu.

Every dust had a trace of earth attribute spiritual qi. If she was covered by this dust, she would definitely lose!

Senior Sister Liu instinctively came to this conclusion, but the entire ring was already covered in dust, and there was no place to stand at all.

The only way out was to rise into the air!

She stepped on the ground, intending to fly into the sky. However, when her foot left the ground for more than half a meter, a powerful pressure enveloped her.

The entire ring seemed to be pulling her body, not letting her leave the ground. The layer of dust on her body seemed to have turned into a weight, pulling her back to the ground with a bang.

The next moment, the dust filled the sky and directly wrapped Senior Sister Liu Mulan up like a clay person.

It was as if she had become a terracotta soldier. She stood where she was, unable to move at all.

At this moment, if Shen Ruoshi wanted to take her life, she could do it with a single thought. Senior Sister Liu could not even use her trump card to burn her blood essence before she was defeated.

“Floating Battle Arena, sixth match, the winner is the Heaven and Earth Hall's disciple, Shen Ruoshi!”

Jiang Li did not expect Senior Sister Liu Mulan to actually lose in the first battle. There was nothing she could do against this powerful opponent.

Jiang Li's heart sank. Sure enough, he could not underestimate the experts of the world. His current physique should be slightly stronger than Senior Sister Liu's, but it was limited.

How could he deal with Shen Ruoshi in that situation?

Huh? Wait a minute, he seemed to be in the Qi Refinement realm. At the very least, he would not have to face her in this Martial Competition.

Jiang Li had asked his senior brothers and they said that they did not have a good solution. They only said that they would try their best to avoid the dust.

However, the dust would cover most of the stage with a single explosion. If they wanted to avoid it, the difficulty level would be too high.

Jiang Li knew the name of the technique that Shen Ruoshi used.

< Earth Dust Scripture >

It was also one of the four great techniques of the Scripture Storage Valley, but the effects were practically unstoppable.

Jiang Li finally understood why the Heaven and Earth Hall was called the Heaven and Earth Hall.

This name sounded a little tacky, but the meaning behind it could make 99% of the cultivators of the Great Mountain drool.

This was because ‘Heaven' represented the “Square Heaven Seal”, while ‘Earth' represented the “Earth Dust Scripture”.

The Square Heaven Seal could only be learned by the Sect Master and the soon-to-be Sect Master. The Earth Dust Scripture was the Heaven and Earth Hall's true ultimate technique inheritance.
