313: Hard fight

The three of them left the various peak masters and quickly headed towards Lu Xingchen's location.

Meanwhile, the contest between Lu Xingchen and Miss Peng Yu had just begun.

Miss Peng Yu clasped her hands together, and Dou Qi condensed, forming a greenish-blue Dou Qi Hand Seal above her head, which then slammed down towards Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was not idle either; he quickly took out a calamity breaking pill and swallowed it.

Under the combined effects of the calamity breaking pill's medicinal power and Dragon Power, the highly unpleasant feeling of fatigue finally vanished completely.

As the green Dou Qi Hand Seal struck down at Lu Xingchen, the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation automatically protected its master. A white phantom of a Black Tortoise appeared above Lu Xingchen's head, blocking Miss Peng Yu's attack.

The two collided, stirring up a massive wave of Qi.

Cracks appeared on the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation, and it was not far from shattering.

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but gasp.

This Miss Peng Yu was truly fierce!

Despite primarily cultivating Soul Power, she nearly shattered an eighth-grade spirit talisman with just Dou Qi.

But fortunately, Lu Xingchen was also a Spirit Array Master.

Without external interference, a Spirit Formation could autonomously absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to repair itself.

As a Spirit Array Master, Lu Xingchen could use Spiritual Seal/Mark to accelerate the Spirit Formation's repair speed.

Although he couldn't construct an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation, repairing it was not a big problem.

Lu Xingchen also clasped his hands together, and thousands of Spiritual Seal/Mark flew out from his palms, merging into the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation before him.

In just a few breaths, the Spirit Formation returned to its original state, with all the cracks disappearing.

Feeling the change in the Spirit Formation, Miss Peng Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Not bad! Lu Dazhuang, you're not only a Seventh-Grade Alchemist but also a Seventh-Grade Spirit Formation Master. And you can even ignore my fatigue attribute; a single calamity breaking pill can't do that!"

"Lu Dazhuang, you are truly interesting enough to make me go all out!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

So, after fighting for so long, Miss Peng Yu hadn't even gone all out.

She was simply too troublesome!

Miss Peng Yu formed a hand seal, and a greenish-blue Spirit Fire appeared beside her. Then, under the catalysis of Dou Qi, it rapidly strengthened, condensing into a large flaming tree.

Lu Xingchen's heart sank.

As the Saintess of Medicine King Valley, it was not strange for Miss Peng Yu to possess Spirit Fire, but her Spirit Fire was simply too strong, actually on par with his Fused Spirit Fire!

One must know that Lu Xingchen's Spirit Fire was a Fusion of Purple Crystal Flame, Glazed Pure Fire, and Dragon Heart Flame.

Each of these Fusion Materials was something he had obtained through immense hardship and explosive Luck.

The Fusion of three fires exponentially increased its quality.

But even so, it only managed to draw with Miss Peng Yu's Spirit Fire.

Damn it, Medicine King Valley is truly rich!

Being rich is really good!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Miss Peng Yu, may I know the name of your Spirit Fire? It is truly formidable!"

Miss Peng Yu chuckled, "Let you die knowing. My Spirit Fire is called Bodhi Sacred Fire, and my teacher spent over a decade searching for it for me!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was thoughtful.

The large tree Miss Peng Yu condensed was somewhat similar to the Bodhi tree from the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm trip. Combined with the name she mentioned, this Bodhi Sacred Fire must have some connection to the Bodhi tree.

And the Bodhi tree was also known as the Dao Comprehension Tree, a very precious treasure that could enhance a Martial Artist's Comprehension Ability and martial Dao talent.

Miss Peng Yu's Bodhi Sacred Fire was incredibly powerful!

As the flaming Bodhi tree became clearer, Lu Xingchen also quickly used Spiritual Seal/Mark to strengthen the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation's power.

At the same time, he activated the Vajra Barrier, consuming part of the Qi and blood in his body to strengthen the Spirit Formation's defense.

A faint golden light appeared on the originally pale white Black Tortoise phantom.

After more than ten seconds, Miss Peng Yu completed her charge. The flaming Bodhi tree began to spin, and thousands of leaves flew from its trunk, attacking Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen took out the Spirit Talisman given by Liu Ruyan and directly tore two of them.

Thousands of crimson fireballs and a bolt of lightning as thick as a person appeared in front of Lu Xingchen, then flew towards Miss Peng Yu's Bodhi tree leaves.

The two collided, and the Bodhi tree leaves immediately exploded, quickly obliterating the power of the two eighth-grade spirit talismans.

At the same time, the number of Bodhi tree leaves was also rapidly decreasing.

Relying on the power of these two eighth-grade spirit talismans, Lu Xingchen consumed nearly half of the Bodhi tree leaves.

The remaining leaves then struck the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation.

Ripples appeared on the Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation, and spiritual energy was rapidly consumed.

But fortunately, with the enhancement of the Vajra Barrier, Lu Xingchen still blocked Miss Peng Yu's powerful attack, temporarily saving his life.

As the smoke cleared, the figures of both sides were revealed.

Miss Peng Yu was still in her green dress, spotless.

And Lu Xingchen's Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation remained steadfast, not destroyed.

This time, Miss Peng Yu's gaze towards Lu Xingchen was filled with seriousness.

She came to trouble Lu Dazhuang not for his Spirit Fire, but out of curiosity about him, wanting to spar with him.

Also, she wanted to see whose Spirit Fire was stronger.

But she didn't expect that Lu Dazhuang's strength was so formidable; he not only blocked her Soul attack but also her Dou Qi.

For a moment, her competitive spirit was ignited, which led her to go all out and unleash a powerful move.

But even going all out, she still couldn't defeat Lu Dazhuang!

This was simply too unbelievable!

Although Lu Dazhuang cheated by using a spirit formation seed and Spirit Talisman, and she still had many trump cards unused.

But the two indeed fought to a draw.

As long as one can control power, there's no need to care where that power comes from.

After all, no one will reason with you in a life-and-death battle.

Lu Dazhuang's combat power was already not weaker than the eight prodigies of the central province.

Perhaps in the near future, the eight prodigies of the central province will become the nine prodigies of the central continent!

Miss Peng Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Lu Dazhuang, Lu Dazhuang, you truly gave me a surprise! I didn't expect Lingyun Sect to have such a master like you; you have the Potential of a Saint!"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "Miss Peng Yu, please stop with the Yin and Yang. I went all out and only barely managed to block your attack. And you are younger than me. You are the true Potential of a Saint."

"However, since you think highly of me, why don't we stop fighting, sit down for a cup of tea, eat a bun, and chat slowly."

On the Tianyuan Continent, strength was the fundamental reason that determined the right to speak.

Lu Xingchen was only qualified to negotiate with her because he could block Miss Peng Yu's attack. If he hadn't blocked those Bodhi tree leaves just now, he would already be a corpse.

Taking advantage of Miss Peng Yu's lack of understanding about his situation, making peace early was the best strategy.

Otherwise, once his Spirit Talisman and Qi and blood were exhausted, he would truly become a turtle in a jar.
