Chapter 1571: Chapter 1339 Jiang Hao: My success rate in fighting above my level is 90%
By the river bank.
Jiang Hao looked at Han Ming on the opposite bank.
They were on separate shores.
Today was the day of the challenge.
Han Ming had reached the Peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm by now.
Jiang Hao also showed the strength of the Peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
However, Han Ming might attempt to break through to the early stage of Soul Ascension Realm during the match.
Jiang Hao didn’t overthink it but was waiting, waiting for the final outcome.
He wasn’t sure whether he wanted to win this time or not.
But regardless, he had to reach the early stage of Soul Ascension before anyone else.
“Senior Brother rarely goes out, doesn’t he?” Han Ming initiated the conversation.
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded and said, “It’s too dangerous out there, not suitable for someone like me. For Junior Brother with exceptional innate talents, everything outside is just a stepping stone for becoming stronger.”
“Senior Brother is too complacent. Every disciple knows that a great era is coming, Senior Brother is wasting opportunities.” Han Ming said.
Jiang Hao shook his head and replied, “I lack grand ambitions, unlike Junior Brother, a favored and blessed son of heaven.”
“Then…” Han Ming looked at Jiang Hao seriously and asked, “has Senior Brother ever lost?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao gestured invitingly, “Please, Junior Brother.”
Clang!
Han Ming’s sword unsheathed.
The sword cried like a dragon, its light sweeping across.
Jiang Hao’s Half Moon Blade unsheathed.
Boom!
Sword light and blade shadow.
Clashed together.
Boom, boom!
The river surged, splashing water droplets.
Then both of them disappeared from where they were standing, their blades and swords appearing in the air.
They were evenly matched.
Only blades and swords, their intents clashing.
No other spells.
But their power was enough to sweep through the surroundings.
It was just erased by the great monster of Soul Ascension Realm, Master Rabbit.
“They are all friends from the path, and will help to deflect the power,” the spirit beast said.
The small girl and others looked toward the distance and asked, “Who will win, Senior Brother or Senior Brother Han?”
“Of course, it’s Master,” the spirit beast replied earnestly, “Master is just being considerate because he’s a friend from the path, otherwise he would have won long ago.”
“Why?” Mu Longyu asked, “Aren’t they both at the same realm?”
“What realm is Master Rabbit?” the spirit beast asked.
“Early stage of Soul Ascension,” Mu Longyu said.
“So, the reason why Master is Master, of course, is that he doesn’t even take Soul Ascension seriously, and only Master Rabbit, who is at Soul Ascension, would give him a bit of respect,” the spirit beast stated confidently.
Suddenly the small girl realized and said, “So Senior Brother has been hiding his cultivation.”
Mu Longyu: “…”
How did Sister reach that conclusion?
But he dared not object.
Naively, he praised, “Sister is smart.”
At that moment, Jiang Hao felt the sword’s intent of Han Ming, not with any intent to guide, but to use his own sword to resist.
After a hundred moves, he finally demonstrated the power of the early stage of Soul Ascension.
Began to suppress his opponent.
In the process, he could clearly feel that Junior Brother Han intended to ascension.
But in the end, he gave it up.
When the sword fell, Jiang Hao thought it was over.
To his surprise, Han Ming came at him with two fingers as a sword.
His hands were more potent than an actual sword.
Jiang Hao had never underestimated Han Ming, and similarly used two fingers as a blade, touching the opponent’s fingers.
Thump!
Han Ming was sent flying backward.
He retreated more than a dozen steps before steadying himself on the opposite bank of the river.
“I’ve lost,” Han Ming said, gathering his emotions.
“It was a fluke breakthrough, an unglorious victory,” Jiang Hao sheathed his blade and said.
By that time, the surrounding river had been damaged, but it should be able to recover after some cleaning up.
Han Ming looked at the person in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, “I want to ask Senior Brother some questions.”
“Go ahead, Junior Brother,” Jiang Hao did not refuse.
“If I had just broken through to the early stage of Soul Ascension, would Senior Brother have broken through again?” Han Ming looked at Jiang Hao seriously.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao paused for a moment and said, “I probably wouldn’t have.”
“Then I still wouldn’t be a match for Senior Brother, it seems like you’ve been in Soul Ascension for some time now,” Han Ming said.
Jiang Hao laughed and replied, “Junior Brother is steady, I am not as good as you. If you had ascended just now it wouldn’t have been good, but not ascending shows a change in your heart and the solidifying of your strength.
“I admire you for that.”
“Is Senior Brother going to become the top disciple?” Han Ming asked with some curiosity.
“It’s close,” Jiang Hao nodded, “It might happen within these few years if things go well.”
“Top disciple number what?” Han Ming asked again.
“The highest is the ninth, unbothered by disturbances,” Jiang Hao answered.
“One more question,” Han Ming hesitated and then asked, “If we were at the same realm, could Senior Brother beat me?”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao started laughing and said,
“Then won’t you know when Junior Brother comes back?
“By then, I’ll be the top disciple, and often when challenging the top disciple, it’s possible to compare at the same realm.”
Han Ming nodded, then picked up his fallen sword and said,
“I must go and bid farewell to Master.”
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, “Senior Brother, continue living at ease. I think by the time I return, my cultivation will far surpass yours.
“However, for the sake of fairness, I will suppress my power to the same realm as yours.”
Jiang Hao chuckled and said, “Thank you, Junior Brother.”
Then Han Ming turned and left.
He quickly disappeared from Jiang Hao’s sight.
“Geniuses are different after all, surpassing me is only natural,” Jiang Hao spoke softly.
But he still felt some reluctance at the departure of Junior Brother Han.
And he wondered when they would meet again.
Heading North, taking the same path as Chu Chuan.
It was uncertain who between them would complete their journey first.
Han Ming was likely a bit stronger than Chu Chuan.
But over the long term, they would end up in the same realm.
Regardless, they were from the same era, competitors to each other.
Sighing, Jiang Hao began to clean up the river.
With high cultivation, no matter how cautious, destruction was inevitable.
However, the houses were unharmed.
The courtyard of today, not even True Immortals could shake it an inch.
Just as he finished cleaning up, he saw the small girl and Master Rabbit sneak into the yard sometime earlier.
Yi was keeping watch outside, Mu Longyu was covering from a distance.
Little Wang was following Yi.
