Chapter 2803 Hitting the road
Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was no point in sparring with Xuannv. After all, he was not a martial artist, and close-range strikes were not his strong point. He had no choice but to take the beatings.

He was even afraid that Xuannv would damage the set of celestial clothes given to him by the Emperor.

The style of this set of celestial clothing is somewhat ostentatious, but its functions are real. It is rare for Zhang Xuezhou to get another set of precious clothing, so he cherishes it very much and does not want to wear it for just two days.

But he soon discovered the benefits of sparring with Xuannv.

As the cultivator who is most skilled in killing in the Kunlun Holy Land, Xuannv is proficient in too many fighting methods.

In the short-range fight with Zhang Xuezhou, he used many tactics such as thrusts, grappling, and counter-attacks, and found ways to attack from almost every angle.

This was an active attack that never failed. Zhang Xuezhou almost never saw Xuannv take a breath or change her position, but she was constantly attacking.

Even if he was injured in exchange for attack, Xuannv could still maintain her attacking style.

Compared with Xuannv, both Ning Que's Ning's Sanda and Zhufu Yan's Eighteen Strikes seem insufficient.

It’s not that Ning Que and Zhu Fu Yan are bad, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in their methods.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that even if Zhou Xin was placed in West Kunlun, he would just be a piece of shit that would get beaten.

And this is not just an improvement brought about by close combat. Zhang Xuezhou found that the seal-granting divine robe was almost integrated with his body. The stronger his body was, the robe would acquire similar abilities, just like the ability of a swordsman to wield a sword as if it were his own arm.

He was somewhat cautious at first, but later on he boldly let go and used the divine robe that could grant seals.

This piece of clothing not only provides an extra layer of protection, but can also be transformed into a soft and hard weapon.

When he used his sleeves to fight back, Zhang Xuezhou almost thought he was turning into the God of Zhenyuan.

"My Lady Xuannu, you have violated the rules and increased your cultivation strength!"

When he felt a heavier blow on his body, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but scream. He felt that his incarnation of Zhenyuan God was beaten back to his original form before he could enjoy it for a few seconds.

"When cultivators fight, the situation is unpredictable. Not to mention temporarily improving their cultivation strength, even if they all swarm together, it is common. You can't even deal with my little tricks, how can you become the most powerful cultivator in the Three Realms!"

Xuannv scolded, and Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a moment.

It is normal for various situations to occur during a fight, and there are even monks who use some killer weapons to reverse the situation.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had to guard against this kind of situation, but he also hadn't thought about becoming the most powerful cultivator in the Three Realms. After all, it was impossible for him to become the strongest with his current way of practicing.

But just thinking that the extraterritorial demon was once a top cultivator in the world, he couldn't help but raise his own standards a little bit.

Not to mention becoming the strongest cultivator in the Three Realms, he must at least be stronger than the extraterritorial demons, so that he will have the confidence to deal with them.

As the strength of cultivation increases, Zhang Xuezhou does not believe that the extraterritorial demons can still learn everything through cross-border learning, and even reach a high level.

If one has a fighting level similar to Xuannv's, it would be difficult to replicate it directly relying solely on cerebral cortical memory.

After all, eyes and hands and feet are two different things, and seeing does not necessarily mean being able to do it.

The demons from outside the domain have a huge knowledge base and have once reached the pinnacle of cultivation strength. They have the absolute advantage of being the first mover, but they cannot easily imitate others successfully when faced with a similar level.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Xuannv was closer to the former strength of the Extraterritorial Demon. If the Extraterritorial Demon had advantages in the fields of fast and slow, then Xuannv had the rhythm of fighting.

As long as the attack is within Xuannv's rhythm, she can maintain this stable and powerful attack and will not give the opponent a chance to switch.

As long as Xuannv has the advantage of taking the initiative, the opponent will be passive.

At the moment, Zhang Xuezhou was still able to take advantage of the gaps to counterattack occasionally. This was due to the fact that his physical body skills and the Nine-Turn Qigong were not afraid of attacks, and also because Xuannv let him go.

If he faced Xuannv in full strength, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was already lying on the ground wailing, while Xuannv would slash him back and forth with her sword again and again until he was chopped into pieces.

At this time, the pressure increased again, and Zhang Xuezhou was inevitably caught in the back-and-forth beating. It was very difficult to find an opportunity to counterattack in Xuannv's rhythm, or even to form his own fighting rhythm.

But through Xuannv's constant teaching, Zhang Xuezhou gradually figured out his own style.

From not fearing Xuannv's attacks to counterattacking despite the pain in his body, and then to adjusting his body by shaking his internal organs, Zhang Xuezhou's combat qualities are improving at an extremely fast speed.

"The Holy Son is really good at taking a beating. He's been beaten for a whole day and is still practicing. When Lady Xuan Nu taught me, it only took less than an incense stick of time..."

Under the eaves of the Xuannv side hall of the Yao Chi Palace, Cai Ma yawned, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou was too patient.

The journey to Lingshan might begin at any time, so she didn't dare leave for the moment and could only find a place to lean against under the eaves to rest.

It was not until he was knocked over by a gust of wind and fell that Cai Ma shivered and stood up.

"It's time to hit the road!"

Xuannv's cold voice came, and Cai Ma quickly stood up straight.

"Cai Ma is also going to participate in the event. Her fighting skills are very poor. Wouldn't you like to give her some sparring?"

When Zhang Xuezhou's polite voice came, Cai Ma couldn't help but shudder.

"me……"

"If you can't even speak clearly, it's no use practicing!"

Cai Ma was so anxious that he wanted to argue, but he didn't dare to.

After she expressed it hesitantly twice, Xuannv responded, which made Cai Ma quickly feel relieved.

In short, Cai Ma felt that it would be useless no matter how much she practiced her fighting skills. Her body was only so strong and there was a limit.

Most veterans on the battlefield are in the same situation as her. Once their physical martial arts have reached their personal limits, no matter how hard they try, it will be useless. Only by unlocking the upper limit of their physical body can they unleash greater power.

Cai Ma felt that her physical skills were close to the upper limit. Even if she hadn't developed 90%, she would have developed 80%. Any more would not make her much stronger.

After knowing that Xuannv would not serve as his sparring partner, Cai Ma felt relieved and looked at Zhang Xuezhou again. For a moment, he didn't know what level Zhang Xuezhou had reached.

"Son, how was your training last night?"

After sitting on the Bajing Carriage, Cai Masheng ate a piece of Earth Spirit Fruit and whispered about the results of the sparring between Zhang Xuezhou and Xuannv.

"I think it's OK!"

Zhang Xuezhou searched on the Bajing Carriage, nibbled a drunken peach picked from the peach garden, and thought about the whole day of discussion with Xuannv.

He felt pretty good. After all, there is a way to be beaten, and how to make oneself better at being beaten is also a science. In order to organize an effective counterattack while being beaten, Zhang Xuezhou also needed to master the rhythm.

He felt that he was doing pretty well at the moment.

If he were to have another close combat with Wei Qing and Kong Ning, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his performance would definitely be much better.

"My queen, you won't be driving the Eight Scenery Carriage yourself?"

After Xuannv called two female officials to get on the car to assist in driving, Cai Ma kindly asked Xuannv who was sitting in front of the Bajingyu.

Seeing Xuannv's cold gaze, Cai Ma quickly shut his mouth.

Although he fell asleep, Cai Ma had some more guesses about what happened last night.
