After hesitating for a moment, Ding Shimaan finally gritted his teeth and gave up the idea of ​​using the "Spiritual Official Finger". Since he wanted to make a comparison, he had to try his best to restore it completely!

It is precisely because of this...

Click, click, click!

Wow! ! !

The next second, Ding Shimaan's "escape light" shattered and turned into specks of blue light. The shadow of the beast on the tip of Youfang Spear also disappeared and flew away.

At the same time, You Fang's weakened spear tip continued to stab forward, and instantly pierced the skin on Ding Shimaan's palm, starting the second round of collision!

"drink!"

At this moment, Ding Shimaan shouted loudly, and with his iron-like palm, he grasped the tip of Youfang's spear.

Immediately afterwards, powerful life force burst out from his palm and began to confront the force and sharpness of the spear tip. His palm trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was using all his strength.

"Is this the 'Two Heroes'?"

At this moment, feeling the powerful force in Ding Shimaan's palm and the toughness of his palm, You Fang couldn't help but stare and sigh in admiration.

He originally thought that although Ding Shimaan was strong, he might not be able to be compared with the 20-year-old old Taoist priest. However, he did not expect that, judging from the collision of this attack alone, the feeling they gave him was actually almost the same!

This feeling is as if there is a mountain lying in front of you. Even if you have the power to split the mountain, it is only a momentary glory. The "foundation" contained within is completely different.

Of course, this gap was only a month ago, not now. You Fang was even confident that if he were to take the attack now, even if he couldn't do it like the old Taoist priest and Ding Shimaan, he could still sacrifice himself with his magic and physical strength, plus limited injuries...

And block it!

soon……

Tick ​​tock, tick tock!

As drops of blood fell, Ding Shimaan's test finally came to an end.

As his life force was consumed, the power on the tip of the spear had been exhausted. As long as Ding Shimaan wanted, he could hold the tip of the spear and launch a subsequent attack at any time, which meant that he had completely blocked this attack.

The next second, Ding Shimaan let go of his hand, and You Fang also retracted the long spear. After a slight salute, he followed Ding Shimaan's movements to check.

At this time, several people who were watching the fight on the side also widened their eyes and looked into the distance. They all wanted to see how Ding Shimaan's body compared to that of the twenty-year-old Taoist priest.

A few seconds later, Ding Shian took a deep breath, spread out his palms, and the answer was revealed...

It can be seen that there is also a scar on his palm at this time, but the difference is that this scar is deep enough to see the bone and blood is gushing out.

"still……"

“It’s a little off.”

Ding Shimaan remembered that in the memory given by Lu Liang, the wound on the old Taoist's hand was not that deep. At most, it cut open a part of the flesh and blood, which meant that he only used the power of his skin and flesh and blood to dissipate the remaining force of the attack.

Looking back at his wound, the bone was already exposed. It was only with the strength of the bone that it was finally healed, but it was still not enough.

"That is to say, my current cultivation level cannot even compare with that of a twenty-year-old old Taoist priest..." Thinking of this, his face darkened and he fell silent.

But soon...

"But this is not bad either." Ding Shimaan's expression suddenly relaxed again, "At least I know the gap, and I can see the way forward clearly."

That’s right, this is Ding Shiman. Just like when he was in Tangzhong, he would not be discouraged because of his failure in the test of “Dan Shi”. He would not be lost after discovering the gap between himself and the old Taoist priest.

As a person seeking the truth, he did this not to compare himself with the old Taoist priest, but to dispel the fog ahead. When the fog dissipates, the road ahead will be easier for him.

This……

That is what Youfang had realized before, the role of the old Taoist priest!

This is the "road sign"!

It is a beacon of light for seekers all over the world!

As long as the old Heavenly Master is still here, as long as he continues to make breakthroughs, those who come after him will be able to avoid many detours before catching up with him!

moment……

"Youfang, you are very strong. When I was 20 years old... I was definitely not as good as you!" Ding Shimaan looked at Youfang and said seriously.

"Your talent is second to none in the entire world of extraordinary people, let alone your peers. Apart from the old Heavenly Master, I have never seen anyone as talented as you. And based on the attack you just made, your strength has already surpassed most people of my generation."

Ding Shimaan's evaluation is not only objective, but also completely comes from the heart. At the same time, one can also feel the joy hidden in his heart from his expression.

There is no doubt that he has discovered that Youfang is of the same kind as himself, otherwise he would never have been able to accomplish such a stunning strike at the age of twenty. This has nothing to do with talent, but requires long-term training as a foundation to achieve!

In this world, there are only a very small number of true "truth seekers". As a senior who is constantly walking on such a lonely road, it really makes him happy to see such a person among the younger generations.

For people like them, they will only feel excited when they discover someone who is more talented than themselves, or even fully capable of surpassing themselves in the future, because that is also a way to confirm their own path and gain experience.

"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Ding." Upon hearing this, You Fang did not react much. He just smiled slightly and bowed again.

He has heard too much of this kind of praise, and he will not take it seriously. The most important thing is to stick to his heart and move forward.

"No need to be modest." Seeing him like this, Ding Shimaan said softly, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Youfang's character.

Thinking back on everything that happened before, as well as the way this kid handled various attitudes, he had to admit that this kid not only had great talent, but also had a top-notch character.

After a brief moment of praise...

"By the way, you just said that this was only your strength more than a month ago. Have you made considerable progress in the past month?" Ding Shimaan asked seriously.

"Then let's fight again. Use all your strength. I want to see how you have changed now. I will also use all my strength to defend you."

In Ding Shimaan's opinion, although Youfang is a gifted boy, cultivation still requires gradual progress, one step at a time. Even if he has many insights and breakthroughs in more than a month, his improvement will not be too exaggerated.

But looking at his previous performance, he could feel that this kid was really confident in his current strength, which made him curious about how much this kid could have changed in more than a month.

"it is good."

In response to Ding Shimaan's request, You Fang simply nodded slightly, then took out a healing pill made from the "Nine-Tailed Fox Picture" from his arms and handed it to Ding Shimaan, and then returned to the starting point again.

Although his expression was very indifferent from beginning to end, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find the smile hidden in his indifferent look. The reason why he raised this point before was to let Ding Shimaan bring it up on his own initiative so that it could proceed naturally.

In fact, after he began to forge his body, completed the engraving of the four major pictures, and broke through the "Three Levels of Reverse Life" to the complete second level, he really never used his full strength.

Just as Ding Shimaan wanted to use himself to compare with the old master, he also wanted to use Ding Shimaan as a touchstone. After all, it is really hard to find a "perfect sandbag" like Ding Shimaan who can catch his attacks and give good feedback.

"Is this the pill you used to save Lu Liang before?" Ding Shimaan asked after looking at the black pill in his hand.

"The medicine is not that strong. It is the most common version. It is definitely enough to treat the injury on your palm." Youfang walked to the opposite side and responded.

"Um……"

Ding Shimaan nodded, then began to observe it carefully. Indeed, the vitality contained in this pill was much weaker than the previous one.

To be on the safe side, he activated the "Observation" and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the pill. After confirming that it did not contain any toxic or negative ingredients, he swallowed it in one gulp.

"Um?!"

The next second after taking the pill, it melted in his mouth and went straight down his throat, and Ding Shimaan's eyes widened.

He could feel an extremely refreshing and vital energy flowing to his limbs in an instant, then condensing in the palm of his right hand and starting to heal.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and the evaporation of the medicinal properties far exceeded that of any elixir he had ever seen or taken in the past, and the medicinal power was even greater.

Sensing the power of the medicine, he immediately raised his palm, and then found that the wound on the palm of his hand, which was deep enough to see the bone, had begun to move and was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"What kind of elixir is this? Why is it so effective?!" He was surprised when he saw this scene. "Could it be that you are also proficient in alchemy?"

"Haha, that's not the case. It's just an alternative method of alchemy. As for the details, I'm sorry I can't tell you." Youfang smiled slightly.

"Okay, I understand." Ding Shimaan nodded upon hearing this. He knew that this kind of thing must be top secret and no one would reveal it easily, so he stopped asking any more questions.

When his palm was fully recovered, he immediately raised his hand to signal that everything was ready again and they could start the second game.

Just like that, the two men stood on both sides again and got ready. Ding Shimaan still took a defensive posture, while You Fang directly exited the "pseudo-immortal state" and re-activated the "three levels of reverse life".

The next moment, looking at Ding Shiman across from him, You Fang's mouth suddenly curled up:

"Senior Ding, be careful. I am now using all my strength..."

"It's definitely not comparable to the attack just now!"

"bring it on!"

Seeing You Fang so confident, Ding Shimaan became more serious and focused.

He could see that You Fang was not speaking without a purpose. The fact that he emphasized this point so repeatedly showed that his strength had improved greatly after more than a month.

Of course, regarding this point, one can get some clues just from his previous attack and current state. Although Ding Shimaan does not have the eyesight of the old Taoist priest, his skills in the "art of observation" are still quite good.

Therefore, he no longer regarded this second competition as a test, but as another "test" for himself. At the same time, he also expected You Fang to give him more surprises and shocks.

Seeing Ding Shimaan's excitement and anticipation, You Fang's mouth curled up. To be honest, even he himself was looking forward to his full performance.

So, the next second...

boom! ! !

The white Qi around him burst out directly, and the power of "Triple Rebirth" was pushed to the limit by him, and the power in his body burst out instantly!

wow——

In an instant, a wave of air spread out with Youfang as the center, carrying with it soil, grass and fallen leaves, rolling out and rippling.

Immediately afterwards...

Swish!

A pair of huge golden wings stretched out from Youfang's back and extended in an instant, with incomparable dazzling and brilliant, directly sublimating Youfang's extreme power and pushing it to the legendary level!

"Transcendence"!

This is the ultimate explosive power brought by the "Kunpeng Map", which enables Youfang to temporarily gain the power of "transcendence of heaven and earth" and attract thousands of great ways to him.

Of course, since it is only the initial forging process now, the "Kunpeng Picture" has only just been drawn and its potential has not yet been fully developed. In addition, Youfang's cultivation is limited, so this "transcendence" power can only allow him to enter a deeper "pseudo-immortal" state, integrating all the power of the Dao that has been forged into the body into the body, and then displaying it all in the "pseudo-immortal" state.

But even so, this power is terrifying enough. You know, now Youfang's body has been forged with four pictures derived from the Eight Wonders, as well as the "Tiger and Dragon Picture" which is equally terrifying in power.

In addition, at the moment it was painted, it was equivalent to the "Jiuli Tu" that merged with Youfang's life. The six major ink paintings were integrated into one, using the power of "transcendence" to display the ability of "pseudo-immortality". How could it not be powerful?

The next moment...

Blah blah blah!

There were bursts of sounds coming from Youfang's body surface, and pieces of scarlet scales appeared on his body, layer upon layer, flashing with terrifying blood light.

Then...

His hands became longer and turned into sharp claws, igniting purple flames. A ferocious beast face with four golden eyes appeared on his face, and in those four eyes, there flashed a white light that could see through everything.

"The Nine-Li Demon God"!

This is Youfang’s current state!

It is extremely violent, extremely fierce, and mixed with the aura of the Great Dao and the rhyme of heaven and earth. Every move he makes seems to have the power of heaven and earth overflowing!

He just stood there and caused everything around him to tremble. His existence at this moment broke free from the constraints of heaven and earth. He seemed to be standing between heaven and earth, but in fact he had reached another realm and no longer needed heaven and earth to support him!

"This is……"

"The power of 'transcendence'!"

Feeling the unprecedented power in his body and the sublimation of his own existence, not only the people around him, but even Youfang himself was extremely surprised.

This was the first time he had used this ability since he acquired it. Even though he had raised his expectations to the highest level, this power still shocked him.

At this moment, Youfang only felt that he was flying in the sky again, just like when he used the power of "Bai Ze Tu", his body was free and his heart was happy.

But what is different from the "Bai Ze Tu" is that although Bai Ze can jump out of the world and observe the heaven and earth, he still has a close connection with the heaven and earth. His "transcendence" at this time has cut off all these connections!

Although this "cut-off" was only temporary, it was enough to give You Fang a new insight. This insight was completely detached from the avenue of heaven and earth, and came from the outer world...

In just a moment, Youfang fell into a state of "enlightenment". His state at this moment could no longer be described as "harmony between man and nature", but was a state of a higher level!

"Tao Realm"!

The supreme state of "being in harmony with the Tao, I am the Tao" only exists in rumors, but no one has ever heard of anyone actually reaching that state.

This realm has nothing to do with cultivation, but only depends on one's own understanding. Legend has it that if one can enter it, one will feel that one's body, mind and soul have entered the fairyland, as if one has ascended to heaven!
