When Cai Burin first appeared and challenged him, Wang Long was not surprised. As his pressure grew stronger, Wang Long's resistance also intensified. It was evident that after the last great battle, Cai Burin's pride had not diminished; instead, it had become even more arrogant. Wang Long could not understand what had changed in Cai Burin since that fight, but just this aura made him unable to view Cai Burin with the same perspective he had when he defeated him before.
However!
It wasn't just you who was improving!
Wang Long stood proudly, refusing to back down.
I haven't been idle during this time either!
The tension between the two reached its peak in an instant.
"Split! Void!"
With a sweeping strike, he showed no regard for the surrounding buildings or people. Several houses enhanced by Spirit Rune along the street were directly sliced in half by the Blade Light.
Yet, Wang Long shifted his foot slightly and perfectly avoided the path of the Blade Light, not even blinking!
Cai Burin was secretly shocked. On the surface, it seemed he had the upper hand, forcing Wang Long back with a single strike. But in reality, it was clear that his move had been completely seen through by his opponent. Wang Long dared to "play" with him so confidently.
Even setting aside this point, how could Wang Long have perfectly retreated half a step at such a moment when both sides were fully committed and their strengths clashed at such close quarters?
Unless...
Cai Burin's pupils constricted sharply.
Unless he hadn't been using his full strength at all! And that his charged strike was something he believed could be easily countered or dodged by the opponent!
What a wild heart!
The fire in Cai Burin's heart was not extinguished by this encounter; instead, it was further ignited by Wang Long, awakening the deepest competitive spirit within him.
Well then, let's have a good fight.
At this moment, Cai Burin completely cast aside his concerns about Nanhua City. His swordsmanship was already characterized by boldness, and now, with his movements wide and unrestricted, he controlled the entire battlefield within the shadows of his blade, leaving no room for escape!
You brat, don't you want to show off? Ignoring my blade? Let's see you try that again!
In their second confrontation, Wang Long had a clear distinction regarding Cai Burin's techniques, or rather, his perception of Primordial Power.
Cai Burin's blade was sharp, ultimately relying on the application of Primordial Power. Last time, Wang Long could only sense the astonishing force of breaking through the air. However, this time, he could distinctly feel the flow of Wind Elemental Power surging through Cai Burin's rapidly moving blade, amplifying its sharpness a hundredfold.
From another perspective, this also indicated that Wang Long had begun to grasp Cai Burin's attack patterns!
Including the weaknesses in his techniques!
"Thunder Element Slash!" The powerful Thunder Elemental Power condensed into a sword shadow at an incredible speed. The tip of the sword flashed with dazzling brilliance, seemingly outshining the blazing sun and stars combined!
"Seeking death!" Cai Burin was furious. Faced with his own swift and fierce blade, this guy actually did not dodge or block but intended to clash head-on!
He had the advantage of initiative! Do you think your Foundation is enough to achieve such a preemptive strike?
Then don't blame me for being ruthless!
Wang Long indeed could not achieve that. Although his foundation had become more solid during this period, it still paled in comparison to Cai Burin's. Cai Burin could already see his blade seemingly slicing toward Wang Long's neck!
You're dead!
Clang!
Golden Strike Resonance sounded as Wang Yuan struck at Cai Burin with a sword that precisely hit the edge of Cai Burin's blade! The two engaged in a fierce clash, and Cai Burin's relentless attack faltered, leaving him to focus and prepare for another round, while Wang Long had already leveraged the momentum to retreat, forming a complete circle of Spiritual Essence around him. This left Cai Burin unable to find any flaws, and he couldn't even discern Wang Long's true form!
"Excellent skill!" A voice suddenly cheered from the sidelines as both Wang Long and Cai Burin turned to look, the murderous intent in the arena dissipating significantly.
The newcomer was a rotund man, his body resembling several "balls" supported by a few ham-like limbs. Whether it was his head, belly, or thighs, he appeared almost comically disproportionate.
He wore a smile that seemed permanently affixed to his face, but rather than exuding warmth, it gave off an unsettling vibe, as if one were being eyed by a shifty merchant, making one feel as though they could be swindled at any moment.
"You both are young talents! I never expected that during my visit to Nanhua City for some small business, I would witness such an exciting duel."
Cai Burin calmly withdrew his hand, though internally he was far from composed.
The appearance of this rotund man was quite timely. On the surface, it seemed that he and Wang Long had fought to a standstill, but in reality, he had pushed his strength to its peak and initiated the attack first. In that single exchange, he had reached the pinnacle of momentum, speed, power, and explosiveness, while Wang Long was at a disadvantage fighting back. After such an inconclusive exchange, it would be impossible for him to maintain that peak state.
From here on out, it would turn into a war of attrition. While it didn't necessarily mean that Cai Burin would lose for sure, at least his strategy had been completely countered by Wang Long, and he was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Wang Long showed no intention of pursuing: "And you are? A friend of Brother Cai?"
"I don't recognize him," Cai Burin quickly shook his head. It would be ridiculous for him to let Wang Long think this rotund man was an ally he had brought along. His own strength might be average, but he placed great importance on reputation; if Wang Long misunderstood this fat man as his helper, he would never be able to lift his head in front of him again. "Hey, who exactly are you? Suddenly appearing here to meddle in our duel—do you know who I am?"
"Of course! The esteemed Elder Cai of the Holy Divine Gate coming to Nanhua City, such news has long spread throughout the city. However, various factions fear your reputation, which is why this fat man has gained an opportunity."
"Your Excellency, it seems you still haven't revealed your identity. If you continue forward without doing so, can I assume you have ulterior motives?" Cai Burin felt a sense of alertness rising within him.
Of course, if he were to brazenly enter Nanhua City, it would indeed cause quite a stir. But this time he had secretly entered using the influence of his Sect. If there were no traitors within his ranks, how could this information have leaked? Or did he inadvertently reveal his presence while preparing to confront Wang Long?
Even if it were the latter scenario, it indicated that the other party's strength was definitely not beneath his own! Otherwise, they wouldn't have followed him here without being detected.
"Oh dear! Gentlemen, please don't be so agitated," the rotund man said with an oblivious smile. "I am Ying De Cai, from Daan Village in Nanhua City. I came here with a merchant caravan looking for profitable opportunities. How about it? Can you both relax now?"
"Get your head out of your ass," Cai Burin said, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the fat man. "You go off and make your fortune elsewhere; this is none of your business. Don't come here to stir up trouble."
"Is that so... Lord Wang Long doesn't want to hear what someone has to say?" Ying De Cai paused, awkwardly turning to Wang Long.
"You even know my identity?" Wang Long felt the same unease as Cai Burin. It was never pleasant to deal with a mysterious figure who seemed to know everything about him.
"Heh, look at what Lord Wang Long is saying. Who in Nanhua City doesn't know that Wang Long once saved the life of the Yu Family's eldest son? Now both sides are as close as allies. Lord Wang Long is not only the hottest figure in the Yu Family but also the most mysterious one in terms of background and strength. Once I leave, who knows how many forces will be willing to pay a hefty price for our conversation!"
"Are you threatening me?" Wang Long's gaze narrowed, a murderous intent filling the air as it bore down on Ying De Cai.
"I wouldn't dare. As I said, I'm just here to see if there's any business to be done." The fat man's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and without any visible movement, Wang Long's killing intent dissipated three feet away from him.
"Enough! Whatever nonsense business you two want to discuss can wait until I've finished my fight. Wang Long, get ready for another move from me!"
Cai Burin shouted, preparing to launch another attack on Wang Long when he was suddenly interrupted by the fat man's words: "Elder Cai doesn't need to put on such a tough front. You're looking for Lord Wang Long for that matter, aren't you? Perhaps I can help."
"What!" Wang Long looked at him curiously, while Cai Burin's expression changed drastically. "What do you know?"
