Although Yuan appeared unscathed on the outside, he hadn't emerged from the exchange completely uninjured. Beneath his calm exterior, the impact had taken a slight toll on his body, but his regenerative ability swiftly healed the damage, allowing him to recover almost instantly.
'I cannot underestimate this man. Not only did he penetrate my defenses with his bare fists, but he's even restricted his cultivation to my level.' Yuan stared at Long Yejun with a sharp gaze.
Unbeknownst to him, an excited smile crept onto his face, giving him a fierce and almost vicious appearance.
When Long Yejun saw Yuan's expression, he also grinned excitedly, "I see! So you're just like me! This is going to be fun! Hahaha!"
"However, this place is too small and restrictive for us to really go all out."
Long Yejun tossed a teleport stone to Yuan and said, "Let's change our location to somewhere more suitable."
Before Yuan could even respond, Long Yejun crushed his own teleport stone and disappeared from the room.
Yuan didn't think too much about it and also crushed the teleport stone the next moment.
After being teleported, Yuan found himself in a vast land that seemed to have been artificially flattened. The ground was smooth and level, resembling the surface of a grand arena prepared for battle, and it stretched endlessly toward the horizon, its sheer size almost overwhelming.
"Welcome to the Endless Arena," Long Yejun said, gesturing to the vast expanse around them. "This is the largest arena in the Divine Dragon Sanctuary, spanning over 100,000 miles. We won't have to worry about slamming into walls and whatnot here."
"Whenever you're ready." Long Yejun gestured to Yuan a moment later.
After a moment of stillness, Yuan made the first move. However, this time, Long Yejun had no intention of letting Yuan land a hit so easily and swiftly countered with a move of his own.
When they clashed, a powerful ripple surged through the arena, as if two colossal mountains had collided, sending shockwaves across the vast expanse and shaking the ground beneath them.
Each of their punches was so powerful that it generated a fierce gust of wind, while every kick unleashed small windstorms, the sheer force of their battle reshaping the air around them.
In addition to their fists and legs, they also unleashed Dragon's Gaze on each other whenever possible. However, now that they were both fully aware of each other's capabilities, neither of them was caught off guard, skillfully countering the other's Dragon's Gaze with their own.
'How is he canceling out my Dragon's Authority?!' Long Yejun thought in disbelief. 'Even though I've suppressed my cultivation, my soul strength should still be vastly superior!'
Meanwhile, Yuan was focusing all his efforts on breaking through Long Yejun's mental defenses, but no matter how hard he tried, he found himself unable to penetrate them.
'We're pretty evenly matched at this moment, but neither of us is truly going all out…'
