Battle of Willpower

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He San pursued him all the way. This time, he spared no expense. It seemed like he had used some kind of secret technique. Ling Han was completely unable to throw him off his tail. At most, he would be able to immediately catch up to him in half an hour.

It was as if He San had also realized that though Ling Han had always been no match for him, his battle prowess was steadily increasing.

This was too terrifying, wasn’t it? If the other party was allowed to grow endlessly like that, wouldn’t he be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?

Though the other’s strength was still far inferior, there would eventually come a day like this.

Thus, he also became ruthless, determined to kill Ling Han.

Ling Han naturally didn’t have the time to fight monsters anymore. Moreover, he probably didn’t need them anymore. With the seven kids and Shen Hanyun, he definitely had enough essence of Earth. He only needed to fuse them together to form an Earth Element Crystal.

Under He San’s forceful suppression, Ling Han didn’t even have the time to cultivate his mystical power. His physical power was still fine, and his recovery ability was strong, so he didn’t have to worry about exhausting it at all. However, it was a different story for his mystical power.

Now, he was only expending it and not replenishing it.. If he only relied on ingesting some alchemical pills, how could they compensate for his expenditure?

In these two days, Ling Han’s condition had become extremely poor. Even if he had opened up his meridians far wider than the average person, he still couldn’t bear such expenditure. Thankfully, he was a Grandmaster Alchemist, and the effects of the alchemical pill that he concocted were far better than the alchemical pills concocted by an ordinary alchemist, and that was why he could continue to hold on.

However, he couldn’t bear it, and He San didn’t seem to be any better.

Why hadn’t he used this secret technique before?

It was precisely because he had expended too much energy that he had not used it all this while. Now, he had made his decision. He would kill Ling Han at all costs, but that did not mean that his expenditure would suddenly decrease.

After channeling for two consecutive days, he had almost reached his limit. His body was covered in sweat, and even his hair was sticking together. He was no longer as carefree as before.

Now, rather than calling it a contest of battle prowess between the two of them, it would be better to call it a test of willpower.

They were both close to reaching the limits of their physical bodies. Whoever could last longer would be able to grasp an advantage.

He San truly deserved the name of a supreme prodigy. His willpower was incredibly strong, and he continued to pursue Ling Han relentlessly. He believed that he would definitely be able to last longer than Ling Han.

And in terms of willpower, who had Ling Han feared before?

Five days, seven days, nine days!

On the tenth day, the two of them had actually reached their limits. It was clear that the other was right ahead of them, but they still had to take a few breaths before they could rush over.

At this time, the toughness of Ling Han’s physique showed its effects.

Although his mystical power was close to drying up, and he could only squeeze out a little bit of it from alchemical pills, his physical power was still abundant.

At least, he still retained 30% of his power.

He was preparing to counterattack. As long as He San’s mystical power was expended completely, then if they both used their physical power, he could insta-kill He San 10,000 times.

It was about time.

Ling Han suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at He San.

“You’re not running anymore?” He San asked, panting heavily, trying his best

to keep his tone as normal as possible.

Ling Han smiled faintly, “Haven’t you always wanted to spar with me? I’ll oblige you!”

He strode forwards, and charged towards He San.

“Humph, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” He San sneered. He delivered a palm strike, and a resplendent light flickered.

He had retained some power.

“Go!” Ling Han waved his hand, and xiu, Heavenly Pattern Jade flew out.

His stance of wanting to fight He San head-on was simply a pretense. The true killer move was the Heavenly Pattern Jade.

The Heavenly Pattern Jade instantly soared to ten times the speed of sound.

It couldn’t be helped. Ling Han’s mystical power had expended too much, so the might of this attack was also considerably inferior.

“Spiritual Power Spirit Tool?” He San was startled, but he immediately recognized it. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged. However, if he had dodged at the first instant, he might have been able to dodge, but to dodge when the Heavenly Pattern Jade had already smashed out?

It was too late!

After all, he wasn’t in his prime right now. Even ten times the speed of sound was enough to kill him.

Peng, the Heavenly Pattern Jade hit He San, but circles of golden seals surged out from He San’s body, turning into something like a golden bell, protecting him within.

A pained expression instantly appeared on He San’s face. This was a Talisman Weapon that he had been bestowed with by an elite of his Sect. When he suffered an irresolvable attack, it would automatically activate. It was a treasure that could save his life.

This had already been used three times when he had ventured into ancient sites, and had also saved his life three times. He had never thought that when he was hunting down a Mystery Realm Tier cultivator, he would actually use it again.

However, this didn’t matter. He could obtain a Spiritual Power Spirit Tool. In the long term, it was definitely no less important than Talisman Weapon. Ling Han was also surprised. He had not thought that He San would actually have such a life-saving item.

Again!

He gave it his all as well. He activated the Imminent Skyline and charged towards He San. At the same time, he also stimulated the Destructive Energy. Not only did it wrap around his hands, the 300 plus apertures in his body also shot out at the same time.

He was like a porcupine now.

Peng! He crashed over.. This human cannonball was even faster than Heavenly Pattern Jade. He San naturally couldn’t dodge it, and he was instantly hit head-on.

If he was still in his prime condition, then with his battle prowess and the strength of Ling Han, the counterattack he launched would be enough to severely injure or even kill Ling Han, but now, he was sent flying from the impact, and the Destructive Energy was madly stabbing towards him. Weng, another circle of golden seals flickered, turning into a golden bell that protected He San.

‘F*ck! There’s more!’

Ling Han couldn’t help but curse. His mystical power was already exhausted, and he couldn’t use the Imminent Skyline again.

However, He San’s scalp became even more numb. Now that he had used up another chance to save his life, the Talisman Weapon’s energy was completely exhausted, and it turned into dust, no longer able to protect him.

He was extremely depressed. He had really gone out for wool and come back shorn. Not only had he not managed to kill Ling Han and snatch the Spiritual Power Spirit Tool, he had instead expended two life-saving chances. However, he turned around and fled without hesitation. If Ling Han unleashed another set of attacks like that, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

It could not be helped. His present state was too poor.

Ling Han didn’t give chase. He couldn’t chase him at all.

Pa, he flopped onto the ground, and hurriedly took out alchemical pills which he ingested madly.

However, he had ingested too many alchemical pills these past few days, and a powerful immunity had developed in his body. The effects were minimal. Fortunately, he didn’t encounter any enemies. On the second day, when the sun rose, Ling Han hurriedly cultivated his mystical power and recovered it.

Half an hour later, Ling Han felt refreshed, and returned to his prime condition.

However, he had recovered, and He San was probably just about recovered as well. Later, he would definitely charge over to find him.

He was just about to stand up, when his expression changed drastically. F***, he was actually about to break through. The leap in level of being was already surging towards him.

Should he immediately break through, or suppress his cultivation for the moment?

Ling Han pondered for a moment before deciding to break through. If he advanced another step further, he would reach the peak stage of the Enlightenment Tier, and he would be able to break through to Mystery Realm Tier. Moreover, once he advanced into the Mystery Realm Tier, would he still need to fear He San?

Ling Han broke through. Boom, the shackles in his body were instantly shattered, one after another. The great battle of these ten days had completely squeezed out all his potential, allowing him to welcome the present burst of power.

But right at this moment, an oppressive coldness approached. The lingering He San had come again..
