I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 89: Actual Effect

"Senior Brother Fang... is an Inner Sect Disciple now!"

"Damn it! Now I won’t have a chance to challenge Senior Brother Fang anymore."

"I think you still have a chance. Even though we’re at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, Senior Brother Fang wouldn’t refuse a Magical Combat spar with us."

"If you really take up one of Senior Brother Fang’s slots, are you sure the other senior brothers and sisters won’t give you trouble?"

"Well... it’s hard to say."

The Qi Refining Sixth Layer Outer Sect Disciple thought about it. There really was a risk of getting into trouble with the other senior brothers and sisters.

The main reason was that Senior Brother Fang didn’t come to Battle Peak often, and he only ever engaged in three Magical Combat spars each time. With such limited slots, a spar with Senior Brother Fang was incredibly valuable.

They had also noticed that back when Fang Yun was still at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, some Inner Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer were already looking forward to a Magical Combat spar with him.

However, due to the difference in their Realms, they wouldn’t bring it up themselves. Unless Fang Yun explicitly said, ’I hope my next opponent is a senior brother or sister at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.’ If that happened, they would jump at the chance.

"If you get to have a Magical Combat spar with Senior Brother Fang this time, next time it’ll be the other senior brothers and sisters looking to spar with you."

To them, Fang Yun was an excellent training partner, but the other senior brothers and sisters were not.

Those senior brothers and sisters didn’t just defend; sparring with them meant they could end up getting injured.

"It’s not like I can’t refuse."

"Of course you can refuse, but the consequences... In the future, when you go out on missions, no Inner Sect senior brothers or sisters will be willing to take you with them."

"It’s not that serious, is it...?"

"Don’t overthink it. Senior Brother Fang went to register with the other senior brother. Let’s go watch their Magical Combat spars."

Fang Yun’s first Magical Combat spar after reaching the Qi Refining Seventh Layer attracted many Inner and Outer Sect Disciples to come and watch.

In particular, some Inner Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer were already eager to make a move.

If they were fast enough to seize the opportunity, they could be Fang Yun’s next opponent in a Magical Combat spar.

Among them, Lu Zefeng, who was at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, had his eyes fixed solely on Fang Yun on the Dueling Platform.

Not long after Fang Yun had entered the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, he had started paying attention to him, eagerly awaiting a Magical Combat spar.

Appearing at Battle Peak today, Lu Zefeng felt his luck was quite good.

Fang Yun had finally broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and become an Inner Sect Disciple. Judging by the aura Fang Yun was emitting, he must have just broken through not long ago. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

’Today is my lucky day.’

He would be the first Qi Refining Eighth Layer disciple to have a Magical Combat spar with Fang Yun.

As for the result of this particular Magical Combat spar, it was a foregone conclusion.

When Fang Yun was at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, not even Inner Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer could break through his defense. How could some unknown fellow on the Dueling Platform possibly break through it now?

’Oh, these attack methods are a bit interesting.’

He had originally been focused only on Fang Yun, but now Lu Zefeng’s gaze fell upon the Inner Sect Disciple with the surname Tang.

’To have such attack methods, he should have some fame among the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Inner Sect Disciples.’

As he watched, Lu Zefeng had a vague impression. ’Hasn’t this junior brother had a Magical Combat spar with Junior Brother Fang before?’

Once he confirmed this, his originally vague impression became a little clearer.

’It seems that’s really the case.’

’But he’s still a long way off.’

Lu Zefeng’s gaze returned to Fang Yun. At this moment, Fang Yun was defending unhurriedly, seeming quite at ease.

From the start of the Magical Combat until now, Fang Yun had been using Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

After breaking through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, his main purpose in these Magical Combat spars was to test out his Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

After the quality of a Cultivator’s Spiritual Power improved upon reaching the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, they could use Upper Grade Magical Artifacts. For those at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, using them was quite strenuous. However, thanks to the boost from his talent, Fang Yun felt no strain when using Upper Grade Magical Artifacts even at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Now that he had reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, there was indeed a different kind of change.

First was his control over the Upper Grade Magical Artifact, the Profound Iron Shield. It was much more effortless. With the improved quality of his Spiritual Power, and boosted by his two-star Shield Talent, using the Profound Iron Shield at full power consumed very, very little of his energy.

The effect in actual combat was even better than he had imagined.

’As expected, I can only get a clear picture of the situation through practical tests.’

During his first Magical Combat spar at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, Fang Yun was continuously gathering data about himself.

As time went on, the Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea had only decreased by ten percent when the senior brother surnamed Tang had already stopped his assault.

Seeing the cold sweat beading on his opponent’s forehead, he knew it was a sign of Spiritual Power depletion.

"Junior Brother Fang, I’ve lost."

"Senior Brother Tang, you let me win."

After the two exchanged bows, the Magical Combat spar was officially concluded.

At that moment, Lu Zefeng immediately leaped onto the Dueling Platform with incredible speed.

But a female disciple at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer was even faster than him.

"Junior Brother Lu, you can get down now."

"Senior Sister Zhang, when did you arrive?" Lu Zefeng didn’t get down, asking first instead.

Just now, during Fang Yun’s Magical Combat spar, he clearly hadn’t seen Zhang Cailing.

He was very familiar with Zhang Cailing; the two of them often went on missions together.

When it came to reaction time and speed, he admitted that he was no match for Zhang Cailing.

"Just a moment ago. My luck is really good," Zhang Cailing replied.

When she arrived at Battle Peak, she saw Fang Yun in the middle of a Magical Combat spar. And by the time she got closer, which was now, his spar had just ended.

Like Lu Zefeng, she had also been wanting to have a Magical Combat spar with Fang Yun. And now, she was a Qi Refining Eighth Layer disciple about to do just that.

"Your luck really is good." Lu Zefeng could only step down from the Dueling Platform in disappointment. He had been full of confidence, only to have someone cut in line.

Since the one who cut in was Zhang Cailing, he could grudgingly accept it.

Since Lu Zefeng had already stepped down, the Inner Sect Disciples who were slower than him naturally didn’t stand a chance.

According to Fang Yun’s rules, his next Magical Combat spar belonged to Zhang Cailing.

"Junior Brother Fang, do you need to recover right now?" Zhang Cailing asked, looking at Fang Yun.

Any Cultivator who had experienced it knew how big the change was from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer to the Seventh Layer.

Judging by Fang Yun’s previous performance, now that he had broken through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and had just faced an opponent of the same Realm, he must have handled it with even greater ease, thus consuming less Spiritual Power.

With the increase in his total Spiritual Power reserves, combined with the reduced consumption, he undoubtedly had more left.

"Not for now."

"Excellent. That’s exactly what I wanted to hear, Junior Brother Fang," Zhang Cailing said with a smile.

For her, not having to wait was for the best. She had been looking forward to a Magical Combat spar with Fang Yun for a long time—even more so than Lu Zefeng.

Fang Yun first had to go and register with the Inner Sect Disciple surnamed Tang, so Zhang Cailing naturally followed them.

As soon as their records were finalized, it would be time for her Magical Combat spar with Fang Yun.

Under the Steward’s arrangement, their match was assigned to the same place as before: Dueling Platform Number Two.
