Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2293

Chapter 2293: Tournament of Strength Begins

"Heavenly Knowledge? Such a name for a place to throw away unfinished techniques. Why’d you even learn them? And are you sure it’s okay to tell me about such a place? Won’t you be punished?" Tian Yang questioned.

Sun Rouxi shrugged, "The Heavenly Knowledge is not a secretive place. Anyone within the Three Pillars of Heaven can access it. As for why I learned them... It’s a good way to practice."

"Practice?" Tian Yang asked, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Trying to comprehend and complete the unfinished techniques—turning them into your own," she replied calmly.

Although Sun Rouxi made it sound like an ordinary thing, it was anything but. Completing another person’s unfinished technique required tremendous talent and experience, an achievement few cultivators could ever hope to accomplish.

"There is not much to do at the Three Pillars of Heaven, so I spent most of my time cultivating and finishing techniques."

"That’s how you spent the last few thousand years?"

"It’s a bit boring when compared to your little adventure, isn’t it? Anyway, enough chitchat. Let’s continue." Sun Rouxi went on the offensive this time.

Her movements were swift and graceful, like a dancer on a stage.

As their spar continued, Tian Yang noticed that he was starting to get pushed back by her.

’Even though I am not using any of my main techniques, to be pushing me back...’

Tian Yang was truly surprised that he wasn’t able to overwhelm Sun Rouxi despite his vast experience.

’Even though I should have more experience than her... how is she this powerful? This is what true talent looks like?’

He finally understood that Sun Rouxi hadn’t been looking down on him. However, that didn’t mean he would give up.

"Hm? Looks like you’re finally starting to fight seriously," Sun Rouxi remarked as she noticed a shift in Tian Yang’s movements.

"Yes, looks like I had been the one underestimating you this entire time." Tian Yang said. "I’ll be fighting seriously now, so... try not to get hurt!"

Tian Yang unleashed Limitless Sword Domain and started using other powerful martial techniques, instantly turning the tide.

’So this is the Immortal Slayer who caused the Immortal Clans’ downfall...’ Sun Rouxi smiled inwardly after experiencing the legend herself.

However, as much as she wanted to enjoy the moment, she knew that she could no longer take the spar lightly.

Thus, they started fighting seriously. While it wasn’t at the level where they were trying to kill each other, they were fighting with the intent of defeating the other, even if it was a little dangerous.

A few hours later.

"You’re really something, Tian Yang. Not even the geniuses at the Three Pillars of Heaven could push me this far," Sun Rouxi remarked, her entire body soaked in sweat.

"I could say the same... Not even Kulas could make me bleed this much..." Tian Yang said, his body soaked in sweat and blood.

’I must admit...’ Sun Rouxi thought to herself. ’I won’t be able to defeat him at this rate. However, if I lose my family’s techniques... I might as well surrender.’

Meanwhile, Tian Yang pondered how he could force her to use the Sun Family’s techniques.

Then, after a few thousand more exchanges, Sun Rouxi suddenly said, "Hah. I’m tired. I surrender."

"What? Surrendering before you are forced to use your family’s technique? That’s cheating."

Sun Rouxi smiled and said, "Since I admit defeat, even though I didn’t use my family’s techniques, I’ll owe you a favor."

"Well, if you admit defeat..."

Although he won, Tian Yang wasn’t happy. He knew that if Sun Rouxi started using her family’s technique, he would definitely have lost.

"I still have a long way to go, huh?" he muttered.

"What?" Sun Rouxi, who heard his mumble, uttered. "You’re plenty strong enough already. What are you going to do with more power? Are you going to challenge the Three Pillars of Heaven next?"

Tian Yang raised an eyebrow and replied, "Challenge the Three Pillars of Heaven? I may be reckless, but I am not suicidal. Also, why would I challenge them in the first place? It’s not like we have any grudges."

"I guess so..."

Sun Rouxi fell silent, her gaze fixated on him.

"If you have something you want to say, just say it." Tian Yang said, noticing her odd gaze.

"Why... did you go after the Immortal Clans? Is it related to why your outburst on that day?" she asked with some hesitancy in her voice.

This was something she had always wanted to figure out. The reason for his hatred toward the Immortal Clans, and why he’d said such things to her.

"If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine."

After a moment of silence, Tian Yang shook his head and said, "No, you have the right to know after what happened."

"It might take a while, so why don’t we do it somewhere more comfortable? I also want to wash up first."

"Okay."
