Chapter 87 – The Training Session Begins!
Li Guanqi remained immersed in the Hundred Prides Illusory Realm for the next few days, spending nearly all his time there. Sword Spirit often glanced at his pale, vomiting form and remarked, “You’re not dead yet, so we’ll keep going!”
Sword Spirit took on the role of a rigorous master. Even though Li Guanqi’s nerves were already stretched to the limit, she continued to hurl insults at him. Still, he made tremendous progress—he could now last half an hour and even injure the illusory sword cultivator, though killing him remained out of reach.
However, even Sword Spirit was shocked by Li Guanqi's comprehension abilities. His rate of improvement was terrifying and visible to the naked eye. He lasted a little longer with every attempt, and it never took him long to convert newfound insights into skill.
Seven days later, Ye Feng arrived at his door, shouted several times, and got no response. He muttered, “Don’t tell me he’s still cultivating... The secret realm opens in four hours.”
Inside the illusory realm, Li Guanqi now wielded the sword in his right hand with such speed that he could make four full strikes in a single breath. This had once been the limit of his left hand—his secret trump card.
The silhouettes of Li Guanqi and the sword cultivator blurred together as they traded blows atop the vast platform. Then, a cold glint flashed in Li Guanqi’s eyes. He twisted his blade past his opponent and drove it into his throat.
At that exact moment, the sword cultivator’s illusory sword pierced Li Guanqi’s chest.
Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and locked the blade in place with his ribs. A wicked smile crept across his face.
“I win.”
