Chapter 522 Sparring with Hendrick
"I told you not to make a fuss," Sanbai said.
"The white planet you see is called the Guiding Star."
"All the birthplaces in the Southern Region, whenever a Star Lord breaks through, will be guided here to participate in the assessment."
"The Cloud Ruins Holy Land has a total of ten heavens, of which the first to seventh heavens are where members of the Star Lord Realm reside."
"All you have to do is defeat all your opponents and strive to climb to the top."
Sanbai said earnestly, "Master said you can enter the fourth heaven. If you can enter the fifth heaven, then we've made a profit this time, and you won't have to pay back the Soul Spirit Pill."
Xiao Weiqing felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He had forgotten about it; Hendrick had used up a Soul Spirit Pill for him, worth 1 credits.
According to Sanbai, the credits are extremely valuable, and he might not be able to repay them.
"I'd like to ask, are all my opponents at the Star Lord realm?"
"Well, if it's the same as before, then the assessment process is extremely simple: one-on-one duels. The opponents are all people who want to enter the Holy Land at the same time, as well as some veteran Star Lords within the Holy Land."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, thinking to himself, "Then it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Do you think you're incredibly capable, ready to dominate and become the coolest kid on the block?"
Xiao Weiqing coughed twice. "No, but I'm a little confident."
Sanbai said, "I know your soul has reached the Star Lord level, and your divine body level seems to be quite high as well, but that's not enough."
"Your training time is too short, which reflects both your talent and your weakness."
"Do you know that most of the old members in the Holy Land are decades or even hundreds of years old, and they have also cultivated within the Holy Land?"
Xiao Weiqing thought about it and agreed. He was never blindly confident and knew that there was always someone better than him.
"Sanbai, could you please pass on a message to Hendrick for me? I'd like to spar with him."
"Haha~~ How about a friendly spar?"
Sanbai laughed heartily, his laughter filled with sarcasm, as if mocking Xiao Weiqing's overestimation of his abilities.
"Xiao Weiqing, although my master acknowledges that you are an exceptional genius, the universe is vast, and in the Fifth Universe Civilization alone, there are countless geniuses, and my master is the genius among geniuses."
"You think you're worthy to spar with my master?"
Xiao Weiqing was somewhat displeased upon hearing this, but he didn't react. He simply said, "I admit I used the wrong words. I would like to ask Senior Hendrick to give me some pointers and help me understand my strength for reference."
Sanbai raised an eyebrow. "You want your master to assess your strength?"
"That's right, know yourself and know your enemy. I want to know roughly where I am at."
"Alright then, I'll go ask, but I can't guarantee whether the master will agree."
"Okay, thank you."
"Okay, you wait."
"We're about to leave the land of our birth, so take one last look around."
Xiao Weiqing suppressed his thoughts. It would be a lie to say he didn't care about what Sanbai had just said, but that was the truth, and he had nothing to say. All he had to do was cultivate, and keep cultivating.
My gaze lingered through the porthole, taking one last look at the fiery red star until it shrank smaller and smaller in my field of vision and disappeared from sight.
Xiao Weiqing sat down cross-legged and began cultivating on the spot.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Two footsteps approached, and Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow, opened his eyes, and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came.
"Senior Hendrick."
Hendrick remained as refined and elegant as ever, exuding an air of nobility.
"Xiao Weiqing, just call me Hendrick. Senior, calling me 'senior' makes me sound old."
"Oh well."
"Hendrick, I'd like to spar with you. Please judge my strength."
Hendrick nodded. "Sanbai told me, come with me."
The two walked side by side, with Sanbai behind them.
soon.
The two arrived at a training room.
After entering.
Sanbai said, "Simulate the gravity of the four heavens of the Holy Land."
"receive."
An electronic voice sounded.
Instantly.
Xiao Weiqing felt his body sink, as if his cells were being squeezed, like he was in water, but he could still tolerate it. He adjusted his state and quickly adapted.
"How are you feeling?"
Hendrick asked.
"I feel a little heavy, but it's manageable and not a big problem."
"Oh, I was right. Your divine body is very strong. Would you mind revealing whether your divine body has reached the super level?"
Xiao Weiqing did not hide anything and nodded slightly.
"good."
"Although a super divine body is not as rare as a super divine soul, it is not something that just anyone can achieve. Now I am looking forward to your test. If you make it into the fifth heaven, then I will have hit the jackpot this time."
Hendrick stretched out his left hand, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Come on, let me see what you're capable of."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly, and Wan Jie appeared in his hand.
Please advise.
Boom~
In just a moment.
Xiao Weiqing approached Hendrick and slashed him with his sword.
But then Hendrick stretched out two fingers and clamped Wan Jie down between them.
"What?"
Xiao Weiqing was shocked and could not believe it.
Although he didn't unleash his source power or use the Starfire, and only swung his sword with his physical strength, it shouldn't have been enough for someone to catch it with just two fingers.
"Go all out."
Hendrick loosened his grip and said calmly.
"Okay, sorry for the inconvenience."
"Boom~~"
Xiao Weiqing stopped testing him and bathed his entire body in flames.
Hendrick's eyes narrowed, and his expression finally changed.
"This kid's flames are extraordinary; they actually make me feel a slight chill. Could he possess a fire spirit body?"
"No, that's impossible. The flames look like something external."
Hendrick was startled. If it was the Fire Spirit Body, that would be terrible. Even he hadn't cultivated a special physique, and his level was the same as Xiao Weiqing's divine body.
How could the natives of a fertile land cultivate a special physique? Hendrick shook his head, erasing the thought from his mind.
The three onlookers almost jumped up when they saw Xiao Weiqing's flames.
"This power, this energy level..."
"No, no, judging from Master's expression, it shouldn't be a special constitution."
Sanbai was also startled by Xiao Weiqing, but he quickly calmed down and realized that he had scared himself. There were only a few people with special physiques in the entire Holy Land. If a native also had a special physique, all the geniuses in the Holy Land would probably be ashamed to death.
Xiao Weiqing had no idea what Hendrick and Sanbai were thinking. He only had one thought in mind: to defeat the person in front of him.
"war!"
He took a step forward and stood before Hendrick once more, silently chanting in his heart:
"Infinite Slash~"
A raging inferno erupted, slashing forward.
Hendrick was not careless; with a slight grasp of his right hand, a long black spear appeared.
"Clang!"
The spear tip precisely intercepted the blade that Xiao Weiqing was swinging.
"That's interesting."
Hendrick's lips curled up, as if he had become slightly interested.
"Cut again!"
Xiao Weiqing closed in and swung his sword again.
Unexpectedly, Hendrick subtly moved his spear, flicking it so that the tip, like a venomous snake, pierced straight at Xiao Weiqing's face.
Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed, and he was terrified, but his hands did not stop. He pulled his knife inward with his right hand to block the spear shaft and ducked to avoid the spear tip.
He then used his leg strength to forcefully deflect the spear, leaped backward, and escaped the spear's attack range.
"Not bad, very solid swordsmanship, the first strike was exceptionally fast."
"His defense is also quite good. There's a strange artistic conception in his sword swings, which seems to be a martial art from the starry sky."
Hendrick's words were full of praise. His change of move just now would have been impossible for an ordinary Star Lord to block.
Xiao Weiqing reached out and touched the bloodstains on his ear. He didn't know if Hendrick had held back. If he had been even a fraction slower, he would have had another hole in his head.
