Zhu Fenghua broke through and became a Martial Arts Master in an instant!
You Ming didn't expect this, because the construction of the Martial Arts Foundation requires caution and must not be disturbed, or all previous efforts might be wasted!
To break through smoothly even after being hit by my [Heart Sword] is beyond You Ming's understanding.
For Zhu Fenghua, he always pursued simultaneous breakthroughs in both Martial Arts and Magic Dao. While breaking through to become a Martial Arts Master, he also aimed to condense True Spirit, step into the True Spirit Realm, and become a True Master of this era.
But now, he voluntarily gave up this goal he had pursued for years.
He broke through to become a Martial Arts Master in an instant but could not break through to become a True Master. First, because he wasn't prepared, and second, because at the moment of breakthrough, he used Magic to 'protect the way', blocking the interference brought by the [Heart Sword], while also serving as a 'stepping stone' for the Martial Arts breakthrough.
The mystery of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts allowed Zhu Fenghua to accomplish the impossible, but also lost the opportunity to Step into the Sky.
This is Zhu Fenghua's 'defeat'. He did not lose to You Ming but to himself.
After the breakthrough, Zhu Fenghua's heart realm was not clouded, and he somewhat understood the master's intention.
What he pursued all this time, 'stepping into the sky', seemed like confidence, but wasn't it also a form of cowardice?
Precisely because he feared that a single breakthrough might not go far, he was obsessed with breaking through both realms simultaneously.
If I break through one realm first, can't I break through again in the future?
Am I lacking the courage to face such a result because I've seen the predicaments of my senior brothers and sisters?
This is the issue Lin Tianyi wanted Zhu Fenghua to confront!
So Zhu Fenghua made his choice.
He knew You Ming wouldn't dare to kill him. If he didn't breakthrough, he still had the chance to Step into the Sky, at most just losing to You Ming.
It's not shameful for someone at the Tao Foundation Stage to lose to a Martial Arts Master with Dual Divine Abilities.
But Zhu Fenghua didn't accept this result. He would rather give up years of effort than give You Ming a chance to defeat him!
I can lose to myself, but not to you!
Why is the mentality of failure more suitable for breakthroughs? Because as long as Zhu Fenghua is willing to accept his own failure, he can break through immediately.
You Ming had no intention of continuing to fight Zhu Fenghua after he broke through because his objective was already achieved.
Seriously injuring Zhu Fenghua was to prevent him from entering the Tianshui Tomb.
Now that Zhu Fenghua has become a Martial Arts Master, he also cannot enter the Tianshui Tomb.
You Ming decisively retreated.
Zhu Fenghua controlled two flying swords to pursue, with the sword light carrying the force of a dragon.
Although Magic Dao was not broken through, the Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts elevated the power of Zhu Fenghua's flying swords to a higher level after his Martial Arts breakthrough!
You Ming knew that if he got entangled with the two flying swords, it would be difficult to shake off Zhu Fenghua.
He ignored the two flying swords and stabbed in two different directions.
The sword light aimed precisely at two disciples of the Heavenly Tower!
These two disciples were seriously injured by You Ming from the start, and then Zhu San used Magic to restrain their heart and spirit, leaving them unconscious.
Zhu Fenghua and You Ming's battle almost turned the entire mansion into ruins, but both intentionally avoided these two disciples of the Heavenly Tower.
This was also Zhu Fenghua's basis for judging that You Ming didn't want to kill indiscriminately.
But now You Ming suddenly struck to kill these two disciples!
The consequences and costs of killing Zhu Fenghua and killing two ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Tower are completely different.
You Ming now wanted Zhu Fenghua to make a choice:
Will you save your two senior brothers, or watch them be killed by me?
Zhu Fenghua chose to save people.
The two flying swords suddenly turned to intercept the sword light shot by You Ming.
At this point, You Ming had already leaped high, and subsequently, a Black Boat rose into the sky, with Zhu San once again carrying him.
The Black Boat turned into a streak of flowing light and flew into the distance. During this process, Zhu Fenghua did not make another move.
The two swords You Ming shot earlier were not the entire threat, because if he really wanted to kill, he could directly use [Heart Sword], leaving Zhu Fenghua no chance to intercept.
So, this was also You Ming's warning: if you dare to continue stopping me, I will use [Heart Sword] to kill your two senior brothers!
Zhu Fenghua watched the Black Boat disappear into the horizon, his eyes deep.
From You Ming's sudden intrusion into the mansion to leaving on the Flying Boat, the whole process took less than three minutes, and the two exchanged less than a hundred moves.
At this time, Li Fei and others were still outside the mansion of the guesthouse.
When they saw the familiar Black Boat rise, Li Fei realized something had happened over there.
He called out, leading the way in that direction.
A few minutes later, Li Fei arrived at the mansion where Zhu Fenghua and others were staying.
It had already become a ruin, surrounded by many people.
When he arrived, Zhu Fenghua was treating his two senior brothers.
Li Fei had not seen Zhu Fenghua before, only heard descriptions from others.
The commotion when Zhu Fenghua broke through earlier, Li Fei sensed from afar, and seeing him now, he immediately understood it was Zhu Fenghua who broke through earlier.
"Yes, I'm Zhu Fenghua."
Zhu Fenghua nodded calmly at Li Fei.
Their conversation stirred up a commotion among the crowd.
Many people specifically came to Tianshui City to witness the duel between these two, not expecting them to meet under these circumstances.
