Ning Shaoyang was able to defeat Xie Chengyu in the ring because of his deeper understanding of the four major summoning techniques, as well as his spell-casting speed that no one could match in the foundation-building realm.

These two gave him a crushing advantage, so he was able to defeat Xie Chengyu without any ability to fight back.

However, this does not mean how strong his actual combat skills are.

Both have such huge advantages, and it took so long to defeat the other, which proves that his actual combat skills are actually very limited.

He pondered and said: "It's okay to have a sparring session, but I don't have any cultivation experience to teach you."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xie Chengyu's eyes.

Ning Shaoyang added: "I can share my experience in cultivation with you, but they are all stupid methods. There is nothing worth keeping secret, so don't expect too much."

Xie Chengyu's face showed joy and he said: "Some so-called stupid methods may contain the greatest truth. Senior brother is willing to give me advice."

Ning Shaoyang added: "Also, my talent is not as good as any of you. I don't have that much time to compete with you on skills. I have to spend more time on training. If you are willing to compete with me, you won't be able to compete with me."

It can be too frequent, preferably once every five or six days."

"This is natural." Xie Chengyu said, "Then I will come here every five days from now on."

"Okay." Ning Shaoyang said.

After a pause, he asked again: "The two of us are discussing in private. If the fight is too fierce, without the protection of the seniors of the sect, will there be any danger?"

Of course, private sparring is not against the rules, but if the protection is not good enough and someone is killed, they will be severely punished by the sect.

In the past, when Ning Shaoyang and Yan Liang were competing, he didn't have this worry. He thought that Yan Liang's strength was far beyond his and he could completely control this problem.

When there is not much difference in strength, sparring will be more dangerous because it is difficult to control the strength.

It's just that the difference in strength is too big, so there's not much meaning in the competition, and there's no way to stimulate greater potential.

Xie Chengyu said: "If senior brother wears a protective robe at the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon, there is no danger. With our current cultivation, it will take at least a few hours to break through the defense of a high-grade spiritual weapon."

The two are competing, not fighting to the death. The so-called danger lies in not being able to control one's own techniques.

If you are blocked by the protective robe when you are unable to control it, there is no need to continue to attack fiercely. There is no situation where you have to attack for several hours.

Ning Shaoyang nodded and said, "I have a top-grade spiritual weapon level protective robe, what about you?"

"These privileged disciples are just different. They get whatever they want."

A trace of injustice flashed in Xie Chengyu's heart, but he did not show it, but said humbly:

"Senior brother, I have a robe that is at the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon."

He is someone who often goes out to hunt monsters in exchange for cultivation resources, so of course he must take necessary protection.

That high-grade spiritual weapon-level robe was a high-end equipment that he had experienced many dangers and hunted many monsters in exchange for.

But the man opposite him didn't have to do anything to have a higher-level robe than him.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

"That's good."

Ning Shaoyang felt relieved.

He was not worried about himself, he was worried that if he accidentally beat Xie Chengyu to death, he would be in big trouble.

Xie Chengyu said tentatively: "How about we start discussing now?"

"Okay." Ning Shaoyang nodded.

A duel at Longhu Rock requires the approval of the sect, and all foreign objects must be removed under the supervision of the Law Enforcement Hall. Only magic attacks are allowed.

That has great limitations and cannot truly show a person's strength.

There are obviously no such restrictions when it comes to private discussions between fellow disciples. It's just that everyone needs to keep their hands open when they compete, just to worry about causing harm if they are not careful.

Both sides have concerns, so there is no way to truly display their strength.

So the best way to acquire practical skills is to fight monsters, but that is also the most dangerous way.

Many disciples died at the hands of monsters.

Now with the competition method proposed by Xie Chengyu, there are not so many worries. Everyone can just use their own strength as much as possible, because they all wear high-level protective robes and are not afraid of being beaten by the opponent.

Not only can they use any spells without restraint, they can also use spiritual weapons and anything they can use.

Only in this way can their strength be truly improved.

However, they also have their agreement - try their best not to let the opponent hit their protective robes. If they are hit, they will lose this sparring match.

Then start again.

Otherwise, Xie Chengyu would definitely not be able to compete with Ning Shaoyang, because Ning Shaoyang's protective robes are of a higher level and have stronger protective capabilities.

As for winning or losing in the competition between two people, there is no reward or punishment.

Ning Shaoyang didn't care, mainly because Xie Chengyu didn't want to lose.

Although Xie Chengyu performed very well among the disciples of the same generation, he was a low-level disciple without a backer, and his life was very tight.

If his strength can surpass Ning Shaoyang, he will of course suggest that in order to better stimulate the potential of both parties, he should get some mining heads in every sparring match. In this way, in addition to improving his own strength, he can also obtain some spiritual stones. Naturally,

Good thing.

However, the last time the two competed in the ring, he saw the huge gap between himself and Ning Shaoyang. He had no confidence in defeating Ning Shaoyang.

The place where they competed was not at the top of Shenjian Peak, but at the bottom of Shenjian Peak.

According to Xie Chengyu, the top of the Divine Sword Peak is just a large platform, and the background is too simple. It is difficult to improve the monks' combat capabilities in complex terrain by conducting competitions in such a place.

Going down the mountain to find some places with complex terrain to compete will greatly improve the skills of overcoming terrain difficulties and even using complex terrain to create victory.

Although he hasn't taken action yet, his words have benefited Ning Shaoyang a lot.

This also made him like Xie Chengyu a lot more.

They found a place with complex terrain at the foot of the mountain to discuss.

This time they were not only competing in martial arts, but also in sword control.

Before this, Ning Shaoyang had competed with Yan Liang in the art of sword control, but it can only be said that he made a unilateral reactionary attack on Yan Liang.

He was not quite able to understand the level of his sword-controlling skills among monks of the same realm.
