REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 54: Duel Against Himself

The abyss shook as Li Jun faced his own reflection.

The figure before him wasn't just an illusion—it was his past self, the one who had once reached the God Realm.

Every movement, every stance, every flicker of power—it was all his own.

Yet, it felt... stronger. Sharper. Untainted by doubt.

"You claim to have changed," the reflection said, raising its sword. "But have you truly grown stronger? Or are you merely living in the shadow of your past?"

Li Jun didn't hesitate.

He lunged forward, slashing with precision—but his past self matched his strike perfectly.

A deafening clang echoed through the abyss.

Sparks flew as their swords clashed, neither giving an inch.

Li Jun's current strength was nowhere near what he once had in his past life—but that didn't matter.

This wasn't a battle of cultivation levels.

This was a battle of will.

The reflection smirked. "Is that all?"

A sudden burst of overwhelming energy erupted from his past self. The sheer force sent shockwaves through the abyss, and before Li Jun could react—a crushing blow struck his chest.

He staggered backward, his breath ragged.

The reflection didn't stop.

It moved like a phantom, its attacks flowing with an unnatural grace—relentless, precise, merciless.

Li Jun barely dodged the next strike, his instincts screaming. This was the power he had once wielded.

Fighting it head-on was suicide.

But then... an idea flashed through his mind.

He had been trying to match his past self's techniques.

But what if... he abandoned them instead?

A slow grin formed on his lips.

If the abyss was testing him—then he would show it something new.

Li Jun took a deep breath, loosening his stance.

Instead of relying on his old patterns, he let his instincts take over, allowing his movements to become unpredictable.

The reflection's eyes narrowed.

"What are you—"

Li Jun struck first.

A sudden shift in footwork—an attack from an unexpected angle—and for the first time, his past self faltered.

Li Jun's blade slashed through the darkness, cutting into the reflection's side.

The abyss shuddered.

His past self staggered, looking at him in shock.

"You've... changed."

Li Jun exhaled, gripping his sword tightly.

"I am no longer bound by the past."

The reflection smirked—not in malice, but in acceptance.

The abyss began to crack.

The test... was almost over.
