C773 Intimidation and Change of Strategy
For the past forty years, Lu Chong had been diligently cultivating, and was improving at a rapid pace almost every second.
Under this kind of progress, the Azure Edge Dao Art, the Thousand Chance Palm Dao Art, and the Heavenly Net Dao Art had all reached the seventeenth level of the Profound Inscription.
Although the other Dao Arts were a little behind, they all had different degrees of breakthroughs.
Even the newly learned Sky Lightning Dao Art and the Berserk Dao Art were already at the level of the Xuan Ming, and were beginning to show their might.
Only after accumulating for a long time and making rapid progress did Lu Chong finally stop hiding. He resolutely chose to leave the mountain and continue to challenge the Dao Profound Ranking.
It was not that he had reached his limit, but that he did not have much time left.
In at most another ten years, the Azure Edge Training Hall's Dao Tablet array would be broken. Lu Chong had to leave enough time to challenge the Dao Profound Ranking and succeed in acknowledging him as his master.
Otherwise, the Azure Edge Training Hall would face a calamity.
On the virtual battlefield, when Lu Chong faced an opponent who was ranked one hundred and thirty-five on the Dao Profound Ranking, he did not hesitate at all, and only lightly struck out with his sword.
This strike was as light as a sword, as if it was the Milky Way of Sword Qi. Carrying the might of the profound inscription, it covered the sky and the earth, piercing through the void, and even drowning the expert in the Dao Profound Realm in front of him.
With just this strike, Lu Chong would win and his ranking would rise once again.
"His Azure Edge Dao Art has become even stronger!" Sect Master Yue Shan was not surprised, because he had taught Lu Chong this Dao Art before, so he was deeply aware of Lu Chong's attainments and talent in the Azure Edge Dao Art.
Furthermore, everyone present could guess that Lu Chong must have something to rely on.
What they wanted to see was not Lu Chong's previous battles, but how far he could go this time.
Therefore, for the rest of the Level 1 time, they would not miss any battle that Lu Chong fought.
It was the same for the Thousand Revolution Dao Plaza's side. Their attention to Lu Chong was not the slightest bit weaker than that of the people from the Azure Edge Dao Plaza's.
The second battle, victory.
The third battle, victory.
...
Two months later, Lu Chong had already won a few battles in a row, and had broken into the top hundred of the Dao Profound Ranking with an irresistible force.
And up until now, he had only used the Azure Edge Dao Art, but in the end, he was no longer able to quickly finish the battle. Instead, there was a bit of a stalemate.
More and more experts from the other training halls came to watch the battle, and they were all shocked by Lu Chong's rapid improvement.
They clearly remembered that it had only been forty years or so since Lu Chong had failed his last challenge.
To be able to advance so much in one Tao technique in more than forty years was already not easy.
However, looking at the difficulty of Lu Chong's last battle, it was likely that he would not be able to challenge and advance within the top hundred of the Dao Profound Ranking.
Therefore, the next challenge was the true focus.
"If I only rely on the Azure Edge Dao Art that is close to the Profound Remembrance Eighteen Ranks, I'm afraid that I will have to stop very soon." The Yue Shan Sect Master could naturally see through this.
"I wonder if Elder Lu has made any progress in other Dao arts after arriving at the Star River City."
The nearby Elders all felt their hearts tighten with complex emotions.
In a battle of this level, they were unable to even judge, much less help, and could only silently cheer for him from the bottom of their hearts.
The new challenge had begun, but Lu Chong was still only fighting with the Azure Edge Dao Art, narrowly winning another round.
This made the people who were paying close attention to him unable to help but have a feeling that Lu Chong had already exhausted all of his abilities.
In reality, Lu Chong was not deliberately hiding his strength, but rather, he wanted to continuously temper and familiarize himself with his own fighting methods, so as to strive to bring out the full potential of a Dao Art.
Combat experience and improvising on the spot were also key factors that determined the outcome of the battle. They were also factors and variables that could not be quantified.
Lu Chong wanted to continuously control this variable through his battles with these experts and geniuses. He wanted to understand the fighting methods of different opponents and control the rhythm of the battle.
"However, this is already the limit of the current Azure Edge Dao Art." Lu Chong thought.
Thus, in the next battle, after the confident opponent went up the stage, he saw Lu Chong's Thousand Revolution Palm Dao Art, which had also reached the seventeenth level.
The two Dao Arts that had reached the seventeenth level of the Profound Inscription worked seamlessly in Lu Chong's hands, and their power was definitely not as simple as one plus one.
With just one move, his opponent was completely annihilated.
"The seventeenth level of the Profound Inscription!"
In the spectating room of the Thousand Revolution Daoist Rite, Zuo Qianxing couldn't help but stand up, feeling a little flustered and exasperated.
"How can he cultivate our Thousand Chance Daoist Rite's Dao Arts to such a level?"
It was still acceptable for Lu Chong to have cultivated the Azure Sharp Dao Art to the 17th level of the Profound Remembrance Realm. After all, he still had the foundation of the Azure Sharp Dao Rite and Zuo Qianxing's guidance.
However, this was the Thousand Revolution Dao Art, and it was their main Dao Art. How could it be cultivated to such a level in such a short period of time?
Zuo Qianxing was unable to imagine that the Grand Elders and Elders under him could only be dumbfounded.
The most important thing was that in this way, Lu Chong's upper limit had been raised by far too much, and he at least had the qualifications to charge into the top 50 of the Dao Profound Ranking.
And at this moment, the people from the Azure Edge Dojo were the most excited.
"Elder Lu is truly a god! Such advancement is simply inconceivable." The elders discussed animatedly.
However, Dao Master Yue Shan and the three Grand Elders still had their own worries.
Although they were also happy for Lu Chong's progress, what they were more worried about right now was the situation of the Azure Edge Training Hall.
"That Zuo Qianxing must have also seen Elder Lu's potential, and it is even greater than what we had originally imagined. I'm afraid that he will also go all out for him." Sect Master Yue Shan said.
"Dao Master."
Liu Changgong's heart moved as he took the opportunity to advise him: "Lu Tong's growth speed has indeed exceeded our expectations."
"I feel that we should adjust our strategy for dealing with the Thousand Chance Dojo."
Dao Master Yue Shan did not understand what he meant, "What do you mean?"
Liu Changgong casually said: "If we insist on fighting with the Thousand Revolution Dojo after the Dao Tablet is broken, we will definitely be in trouble."
Path Master Yue Shan nodded his head. He naturally knew that his own strength was inferior to that of the Thousand Changes Dao Plaza.
Especially with Zuo Qianxing, who was at the Dao Ocean stage, his deterrence was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Liu Changgong continued: "But has the Path Master ever thought that Elder Lu's hard work would go to waste?"
"Besides, if we lose, will Zuo Qianxing use us to become a burden to Elder Lu?" Liu Changong tried to persuade him.
This...2
Path Master Yue Shan fell silent.
Yes, Lu Tong's potential was without a doubt astonishing. In the future, he had a very high chance of stepping into the Dao Ocean Tier and surpassing Zuo Qianxing.
But now, the Azure Edge Training Hall had instead become a burden to him. If Zuo Qianxing used him or even threatened him, wouldn't it hinder Elder Lu's advancement?
With his understanding of Lu Chong over the years, it was very likely that this would happen.
"Then what do you mean?" Sect Master Yue Shan said helplessly.
"Retreat to the next universe." Liu Changgong decisively said, "All of you retreat and retreat without any resistance."
"We will leave an empty city for the Thousand Chance Dao Plaza." Liu Changgong's eyes lit up. "I believe that before he takes control of the Azure Edge Dao Tablets, Elder Lu will definitely have a way to stop him."
