1400 Training With Liya

After the Demon Sealing Faction had breakfast made by Meifeng, they made their way up the Dragon Spiral Mountain for another day of training with the Lord and Liya. However, there was an additional member today—someone who had never been to their training before.

"What kind of training do you guys typically do?" Yuan asked them as they walked together.

"At first, we spent most of our tboosting our cultivation. Once we reached Spirit Grandmaster, we focused on stabilizing our cultivation. Nowadays, we spend almost all our tsparring with the Manager." Shi Lang said.

"You're sparring with Liya? Not the Lord?" Yuan learned something new.

"Of course not. We wouldn't last a second against the Lord. The Manager is really strong, too. We can't defeat her even if we all went at her together." Wang Bingbing sighed.

Yuan smiled, "I look forward to sparring with her."

Upon arriving at the peak of the mountain, Liya could be seen waiting for them right outside the formation's entrance.

Her eyebrows twitched when she noticed Yuan amongst the group. She had anticipated his appearance sooner or later, but it still felt weird to see him with the others.

Once they were at the true peak of the mountain, Liya immediately started their training and said, "Who wants to go first?"

Wang Ming raised his hand.

"Come." Liya gestured for him to approach her.

The summit of the mountain lay empty and vast, boasting a flat surface that made it an ideal arena or training ground. There were also no buildings to destroy, allowing them to unleash their full strength without worry.

Once the fight began, Wang Ming immediately charged at Liya with a weapon. Meanwhile, Liya confronted him with nothing but her bare fists.

"Haaah!"

"..."

Liya did not attack Wang Ming for the first few minutes, only focused on dodging and blocking his strikes.

Once five minutes have passed without Wang Ming landing a single hit on her, Liya started pointing out Wang Ming's flaws while throwing fists at him.

Unlike Wang Ming, all of Liya's strikes would land on their target without fail. Liya had the cultivation of a peak Spirit Lord, an impressive achievement considering her environment and lack of spiritual energy. However, her cultivation was irrelevant in this case, as she'd fought Wang Ming without using any spiritual energy.

Being a dragon in her true form, Liya boasted naturally high prowess, so it would be overkill if she used her cultivation on top of her innate strength.

It didn't take long for Wang Ming to collapse on the floor, suffering a complete and utter defeat at the hands of Liya.

"Next." Liya didn't even bother taking a minute to catch her breath before calling for her next challenger.

One after another, members of the Demon Sealing Faction fought with Liya, who took no breaks in between each fight. Yet, she looked completely calm and relaxed, almost as if the fights weren't even enough to be considered a warmup in her eyes.

Liya purposefully gave everyone five minutes to fight her, yet nobody there but Li Jinxi could land a hit on her. However, even Li Jinxi could only graze Liya's skin, and it required her to use the Nameless Technique.

Once everyone had fought Liya, she turned to look at Yuan and asked, "Did you only chere to watch or do you intend on participating as well?"

"I'd like to participate if you don't mind."

Liya snickered inwardly after hearing this, as she had always wanted to give Yuan a beating but was held back by the Lord.

Yuan approached her and asked, "What are the rules?"

"You can use whatever you want. Treat this as though we are in a real fight," she quickly said.

"Do you need to take a minute to recover your strength?"

"Hmph, I can fight each of them a dozen times without breaking a sweat." Liya sneered.

Yuan smiled and said, "Still, I will give you a moment to rest. I want to fight you at your best, after all."

"You think you have what it takes to look down on me?! I have been waiting so long for the moment to punch your face!" Liya did not accept Yuan's offer and immediately charged at him.

"Whoa!"

Yuan was a little surprised by Liya's speed, which had drastically increased since her last fight. Though, he wasn't too shocked. After all, he knew she had been holding back against the others.

'Is this her full strength? No, it's probably only around sixty percent.' Yuan thought to himself as he dodged her sudden attack.

Liya immediately went for another strike after her first missed, then another… and another.

Yuan perfectly avoided all of Liya's strikes without fighting back. The Demon Sealing Faction watched their fight in awe, and it looked like Liya was the one being trained at this moment.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you fighting back? Are you making fun of me?" Liya eventually stopped to ask with a deep frown.

"Of course not. I am just waiting for you to use your full strength," he said.

"My full strength? You wantto kill you?" Liya continued to frown.

Yuan patted his chest and chuckled, "You don't have to worry about that since you cannot kill me."

Liya gritted her teeth at his words and immediately unleashed her cultivation base, filling the area with a heavy pressure that left the others shocked.

"She was hiding this much strength this entire time?!" Xi Murong cried out loud.

Even though Liya knew that Yuan had purposefully provoked her so she could use her full strength, she couldn't let him mock her any longer.

However, she didn't immediately charge at Yuan, almost as though she was waiting for something.

After waiting for a moment without the Lord attempting to stop her, Liya showed a faint smile on her face and said, "I will make you regret messing with me!"

She swung her fist at Yuan with about eighty percent of her full strength, expecting him to dodge it again. However, contrary to her expectations, Yuan extended his arm with his hand wide open, as if he intended on catching her fist.

'This crazy—!'

Liya was unable to stop her fist in tand struck Yuan's palm, expecting to send him flying. However, he not only stood firm but also caught her fist, defying her expectations once again.

"Not bad. Now it's my turn." Yuan suddenly muttered.

When Yuan raised his other arm and pulled it back, Liya instinctively jumped back, distancing herself from him.

She stared at him with wide eyes afterward, her back soaked in cold sweat.

'How does a human like him have such monstrous strength?!' she cried inwardly.

She instantly knew from that single exchange that Yuan was hiding an unfathomable amount of strength within his body. Yet, she couldn't comprehend how a human like him could possess innate strength that rivaled even dragons.

As for Yuan, he used Liya's frightening strength to test the current condition of his body. He could sense that the Golden Immortal Physique had transferred to his real body, albeit incompletely.

Ignoring the tingly sensation, he looked at his still-trembling arm that had caught Liya's fist and mumbled in a low voice, "About 5 percent, huh?"
