Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1996

Chapter 1996: Sparring With Kelan(2)

"This is my first time fighting in my true body, so give me everything you’ve got," Yuan said as he beckoned Kelan.

"Then... don’t mind if I do!"

Kelan unleashed his cultivation, but he still kept it suppressed to the peak of Immortal Ascension.

"Here I come!"

With a roar of excitement, Kelan charged forward, his fists surging with immense energy.

However, Yuan didn’t so much as lift a finger to defend. He stood firm, like an immovable mountain, taking every one of Kelan’s strikes head-on with nothing but his bare body.

"This is rather relaxing. You might have a future as a masseur," Yuan said calmly, a faint smile on his lips. He stood unbothered, as though Kelan’s blows were nothing despite each strike sending ripples through the air and making the very space around them tremble.

"I refuse to believe I can’t break through your defenses!" Kelan roared, his aura flaring violently as it shifted. Without hesitation, he began unleashing powerful martial techniques.

"He’s already using his Ninety-Nine Divine Fists technique!" Shi Lang exclaimed, a shiver running down his spine as memories flooded back—vivid flashes of being beaten to a pulp by that very technique.

The technique comprised a total of ninety-nine strikes, each one building in power and ferocity, much like Yuan’s own Nine Supreme Swords.

"Fifty-Fifth Divine Fist!" Kelan bellowed as his fist crashed forward, the air trembling from the force.

Yet, even after unleashing more than half of the technique, he felt no closer to breaching Yuan’s defenses. It was like striking a mountain of metal with a brittle wooden branch.

"Ninty-Ninth Divine Fist!"

Even after the final strike landed, Yuan wasn’t pushed back even slightly.

With a faintly provocative smile, Yuan turned slightly and pointed to his back.

"Why don’t you give the back some attention too?" he said, as if inviting a massage rather than an attack.

Kelan’s eyebrow twitched, a flicker of irritation crossing his face as his pride took a hit.

With a slightly cold edge to his voice, he muttered, "You asked for this..."

Suddenly, his suppressed cultivation surged, breaking through to the Bronze Immortal level.

Now wreathed in swirling Immortal Qi, Kelan launched a renewed assault on Yuan.

"Twenty-Second Divine Fist!"

"..."

"Seventy-Fifth Divine Fist!"

"..."

After going through another 99 strikes, Kelan distanced himself from Yuan before staring at him with wide eyes that flickered with disbelief.

’It’s like he doesn’t even feel my attacks! How is that possible?!’

Knowing full well that Yuan possessed powerful regenerative abilities, Kelan didn’t hold back and poured every ounce of Immortal Qi he could muster as a Bronze Immortal into his attacks.

"Seriously...?" Kelan stared at Yuan, utterly dumbfounded.

He had always assumed the legends surrounding the Golden Immortal Physique were exaggerated. But after facing it firsthand, Kelan could say without the slightest doubt—if anything, the legends underplayed its true prowess.

"So? What do you think?" Yuan asked as he calmly walked toward Kelan. "Satisfied yet?"

Kelan offered a nervous smile, sweat beading at his brow.

"I thought it’d be fun... but honestly, it was more terrifying than I expected."

Yuan let out a light chuckle.

"Then what if I told you that my body still isn’t fully merged with my soul?"

"What?!" Kelan blurted out, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Yuan nodded calmly. "It’s been nearly a year since I reclaimed my true body. I thought that would be enough to fully adapt, but so far, I’ve only managed about fifty percent."

"You’re telling me that you’ve only shown me about fifty percent of your true prowess?!" Kelan exclaimed.

"Hm? No, I haven’t even begun to show you anything yet. I’m strictly talking about my physique. If we’re talking about my prowess..."

Yuan abruptly stopped speaking, and in the next moment, unleashed his cultivation and Immortal Qi in a sudden surge, its sheer force nearly knocking Kelan off his feet.

"Heavens! What is that amount of Immortal Qi?! I have met many True Immortals, but none of them can come close to having that much Immortal Qi!" Kelan exclaimed. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

"While my cultivation has fully merged and my physique is about halfway there, my bloodline and the rest of my talents have only just begun to merge. Honestly, I have no clue how powerful I will become once my true body and soul fully merge." Yuan calmly shrugged, leaving Kelan and the others speechless.
