Chapter 1156: 518: Break through level 8 in one month!_3

Lanling closed his eyes to calculate and said, "Seven-star Demon Warrior!"

Suo Mo said, "So, in just one month, your cultivation level needs to rise by eight layers?"

"Yes!" Lanling replied.

Suo Mo said, "Though you’ve continually created miracles, this is truly impossible. Once you break through to becoming a Demon Warrior, the direct extreme trials are no longer effective. Moreover, above the Demon Warrior level, the style of combat changes. It relies more on Qi rather than sheer physical strength."

Lanling nodded and said, "I know. Even the cultivation method changes. It’s not just about refining physical power but also Qi pathways — killing from a distance!"

Long-range lethal techniques. Lanling had witnessed many in the Human World.

Especially during the battle between Black Widow Meng Tuoluo and the Spider Demon, which was entirely fought with Qi-empowered sword control!

In this battlefield, Lanling rarely encountered Qi-based battles. That’s because utilizing Qi for long-distance killing consumed an enormous amount of Dragon Qi, making it unsuitable for prolonged combat.

However, in an arena duel, life and death often hinge on Qi-based killing techniques.

Of course, the Berserker Demon Warrior from the Wild Horse Tribe who dueled Lanling did not use Qi techniques.

That was because he’d only recently broken through to becoming a Demon Warrior, and his Qi pathways were still weak. Moreover, while his body had been modified to be impervious to blades and arrows, the process had damaged his meridians, leaving his Qi pathway obstructed.

However, Du Yan was undoubtedly a master of Qi techniques.

As for Zhen Yan Princess, she had never used Qi pathways in battle. That was because she had never encountered a true opponent — not even half of one.

When the Ashi Liren went on a killing spree, they often utilized Frost Dragon Qi, instantly freezing dozens of enemies.

Dina remained silent throughout.

Lanling successfully passed this trial, surviving a near-death experience.

However, for the next trial, she could see almost no hope.

Breaking through eight levels within a month was utterly impossible — not even a daydream could make it happen.

"Or... perhaps... after losing the duel, you could break ties with us?" Dina said, trembling. "Marry Nini’an and become the Chieftain’s son-in-law. It’s not a bad choice; you might even gain control of the entire tribe."

Lanling had originally wanted to say something roguish, such as, "I haven’t even slept with you yet; breaking ties? Impossible!" But with his uncle Suo Mo beside him, he held back.

Suo Mo asked, "Ling, do you have any ideas?"

Lanling said, "Not yet, but I will by tonight."

Suo Mo looked stunned.

Lanling said, "Some secrets are hard to speak of. I’ll tell you tomorrow."

...

Midnight!

The cave where Lanling lived opened up a gap in the rock.

A green snake slithered in and transformed into a beautiful woman.

She was, of course, Sisi, the Second Madam.

"You devil! You must have poisoned me. You’ve made me addicted, and the intervals are getting shorter and shorter," Sisi said, trembling. "What do you think of the plan I gave you? How does Nini’an taste?"

"Wonderful," Lanling said as his palm curved to form a sharp claw, plunging viciously into the snowy-white body of the Second Madam. Scarlet blood flowed out.

"Next, we’re about to start the real trade," Sisi said. "You mentioned that to defeat Du Yan in the duel, you need to reach at least the level of a seventh-layer warrior. You need to break through eight layers in one month, right?"

"Yes. Everyone believes it’s impossible — as absurd as rivers flowing backward," Lanling replied.

Sisi said, "But with me, it’s achievable. I have a method that allows you to break through eight levels in a single month. However, there’s one condition!"

Lanling asked, "What condition?"

...
