Mushroom Man

Ten days later...

The fifth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower is a mirror maze.

"Boom!!!"

The deafening sound echoed for a long time without subsiding.

Su Jiu'er huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, her face filled with terror!

He watched the two men locked in a fierce battle in the distance, each move threatening to obliterate him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself...

"Okay, so strong!"

This marks the fiftieth time that Commander Wu has challenged that terrifying old monk.

He truly hadn't expected that his Lord Wu would be so ridiculously strong!
With only a fourth-tier body, he was able to fight back and forth with the mirror image of a fifth-tier peak mushroom master.

Such strength and talent truly make them worthy of being called dragon people of immeasurable nobility!
Compared to her, Su Jiu'er was utterly hopeless.

If only he could one day possess the strength of Commander Wu...

Just then, a dazzling light spread out, stinging his eyes and causing them to water, forcing him to close them.

"Light...Fist!"

At the center of the radiant light, Abbot Shanren stood expressionless, raising his arm and bending his five fingers in a spiral motion!
This is the holy form of the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable raising fire!

Once the Light Fist was unleashed, the vast Mirror Maze was filled with nothing but light!
The majestic power of heaven, its radiance boundless, is unstoppable!

Abbot Shanren suddenly threw a punch...

"boom!!!"

A figure flew backward, smashing several mirrors and plunging the ground for more than ten feet before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough, still can't beat them?"

The figure swayed, coughed up a pool of dark blood, frowned, and muttered to himself.

Clearly, this person was none other than Wu Liang!

Wu Liang was covered in bruises and welts, with several large holes punched into his body.

If it were an ordinary person, suffering such horrific injuries, they would probably have died long ago.

However, for Wu Liang, a mere fatal wound was nothing.

With a thought, he activated all the blood-related fungi, including Blood Pool Mushroom, Blood Clothes Mushroom, and Blood Returning Mushroom.

The next moment, Wu Liang's surface injuries were covered by blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the old blood was replaced by new blood.

In no time at all, he was full of energy again.

but……

This is merely a superficial recovery.

They suffered repeated heavy blows and resorted to various means on several occasions.

Wu Liang's true energy is now in a precarious state.

It is obvious that he is still far from being a match for Abbot Shanren!

"Peak of the fifth stage... Is this the pinnacle of human achievement?"

Wu Liang slowly raised his head and looked at Abbot Shanren, who was walking towards him. A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

This was the closest he had come to defeating Abbot Shanren in recent times.

At the very least, he successfully forced Abbot Shanren to use the Light Fist and the Buddha's Light Illumination, among other powerful moves from the fifth level of the Light Path.

Previously, he wouldn't even have been able to force out these deadly moves.

With just this level of ability, he's still far from being able to defeat Abbot Shanren...

It's important to understand that the mirror image created by the Mirror Maze only possesses about 50-60% of the original's combat power. Even so, Wu Liang couldn't defeat Abbot Shanren, which gives you an idea of ​​just how vast the gap between them was.

Of course, it might be because Wu Liang knew Abbot Shanren too well, and had even absorbed a small part of Abbot Shanren's memories with the help of Blood River Ancestor.

Therefore, the 'Abbot Shanren' replicated in the Mirror Maze actually possesses 80% or even more of the original's strength!
Under these circumstances, no matter how talented Wu Liang is, he is only a mid-level fourth-tier mushroom master, so it is normal that he cannot defeat a peak fifth-tier mushroom master.

In fact, the fact that Wu Liang wasn't instantly killed by 'Abbot Shanren' within a few rounds is already a testament to his exceptional talent and skills, which surpass those of his peers.

Ordinary people, even those as knowledgeable as Bai Xiaosheng or Xiao Chusheng, would probably not last more than a few rounds against Abbot Shanren.

can only say……

No wonder he was the one who faced hundreds or even thousands of mushroom masters in Zhaodi Town and still stood out from the crowd, even breaking through the Demon Suppression Tower.

Only by fighting him in person can one truly understand how formidable Abbot Shanren is.

Master Wen, Wu Xingzhe, and even the elders of the three families, each of them, if taken individually, could be considered a master at the fourth level.

But in the end, they all died, more or less, because of Abbot Shanren.

This shows that even in old age, a person of unparalleled talent is not someone that can be easily underestimated.

Wu Liang, who managed to fight his way out of this hellish beginner village, truly deserves to be called incredibly lucky!
However, Abbot Shanren is not invincible!
At the very least, among all the mushroom masters Wu Liang encountered along the way, Abbot Shanren could only rank second.

As for first place, it goes without saying who it is...

"This battle has finally made me realize just how strong I am now."

Wu Liang slowly stood up, his bones creaking, and a flash of arrogance crossed his face.

His indescribable confidence made him almost as imposing as the approaching Abbot Shanren.

Now, with his cultivation at the mid-stage of the fourth level, he can put up a fight against Abbot Shanren.

In terms of methods, the two are now evenly matched.

Bright Fist, Buddha's Light Illumination, etc., are all countered by his Spatial Slash, Heaven and Earth Fixation, and Blood Hand Asura Seal!

In terms of the subtlety and potential of his killing moves, Wu Liang is even superior.

Now, the only difference between the two is their cultivation level.

Once Wu Liang also reaches the peak of the fifth level, Abbot Shanren will definitely not be his match!
Perhaps only the Golden Dragon King, who seems to have unlocked a cheat code, can rival Wu Liang.

Whether it is Jinlong Wang Qiang at the fifth level or Wu Liang Qiang at the fifth level is still unknown.

After all, they've never actually fought one...

One has not yet reached the fifth level of enlightenment, while the other has already ascended to immortality and surpassed the fifth level.

It seems the two of them will never be able to determine who is superior at the pinnacle of human existence.

However, perhaps they can compete at the Mushroom Fairy stage in the future.

The thought flashed through Wu Liang's mind for a moment, then he closed his eyes, opened his arms, and gave up resisting...

That's right! He doesn't plan to fight 'Abbot Shanren' anymore.

After more than fifty battles, he knew his own limitations and knew that continuing to fight was pointless.

His overwhelming superiority in cultivation level prevented him from even using the Qiankun Stance when facing Abbot Shanren.

Unless he chooses to cheat and borrows Bai Xiaosheng's Jade Plate.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat Abbot Shanren at this stage.

"Magic...light... shines... everywhere!"

Abbot Shanren didn't care whether Wu Liang had given up or not.

With a blank expression and a stiff tone, he delivered Wu Liang's final defeat with a powerful blood-based killing move!
A crimson, blood-red light, brimming with demonic power, spread out with lightning speed...

"Buzz—" (End of Chapter)
